LVN B stated the CNAs referred jeopardy to resident health or to the Kardex to determine the care needs of a resident and the Kardex was available to all CNAs. LVN B safety stated, he was not aware, at the time of the incident, that CNA A was providing care alone. LVN B stated he was informed by staff (staff name unknown) that Resident #1 had a large bowl movement and CNA A Residents Affected - Few wanted to bath her after but stated that CNA A should have gotten help and that there was plenty of staff that night to assist and no reason for her to not ask for help. CNA B revealed, Why she chose not to do that I don't know, I was at the nurses station charting when she came to get me for help. He stated if CNA A had told him that she was going to provide ADL assistance for going to bathe Resident #1 he would have gotten up to help CNA A, but she did not inform him that she needed a second staff member to help her with Resident #1. He stated he was the charge nurse that night. He stated the caregiver was ultimately responsible to ask for assistance with residents because they knew the rules when they were given their assignments. LVN B stated anyone would be crazy to take a resident her size on by themselves and he did not know why to this day CNA A did not ask for help. LVN B recalled the resident's weight to be in the area of 260 plus pounds. Resident #1 was in a bariatric bed, and it was hard for LVN B to imagine that someone would attempt changing and cleaning her alone. When LVN B walked into the room to help after CNA A called him, he said it looked like she [CNA A] was getting ready to change the oil on the bed- that was never safe at any time for any patient especially someone with Resident #1's weight to have a bed that high. The aide should have gotten help, the call light was available and there was always a way to get help.
An interview on 04/10/25 with CNA C at 2:33 pm revealed she was at the nurses' station on the rehabilitation side of the facility when LVN B came to get her stating they needed help getting a resident off the floor. CNA C stated she saw the resident on the floor in between the wall and the bed and Resident #1's bed was pretty high up. CNA C stated prior to this event, she never worked with Resident #1 but upon seeing Resident #1, because of Resident #1 was a big woman, she would have known that Resident #1 was a 2 (two) person assist. CNA C stated that the number of staff assistance a resident was required for safe resident care and
the information was in the Kardex located in EMR. A CNA could click on the Kardex to see if the resident was a one or two person assist. CNA C said if there was not another person to assist a resident who was a 2 (two) person assist, she would ask a nurse to help or wait for a coworker to get help before assisting the resident. She said she did not recall how many staff members were working that night but said there were plenty of people listing herself, two aides, a nurse, and a nurse trainee. CNA C stated that CNA A could have also asked the people in the rehabilitation side of the facility for help. CNA C stated it was never appropriate to proceed with just one person if the resident was listed in the Kardex as a 2 (two) person assist. If the Kardex says the Resident require a 2 (two) person assist, you wait until you have 2 (two) people to assist. CNA C stated, you never know the condition or if they just had hip surgery, you always wait to have the amount of people you need. CNA C stated she has no idea why the CNA A did not ask for help that night.
