A cognitively impaired resident was subjected to staff-to-resident abuse by a CNA during a shower preparation. The resident, who has severe cognitive impairment and is dependent on staff for transfers, began yelling and swatting at the CNA, who responded by swatting back and placing her hand over the resident's mouth. This behavior was witnessed by another CNA, who reported the incident. The facility's investigation confirmed the abuse, with witness statements and an assessment supporting the claims. The incident resulted in impaired psychosocial well-being for the resident.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and physical disabilities was subjected to abuse by a CNA during a shower.

Another CNA witnessed the incident but delayed reporting it, violating the facility's policy requiring immediate reporting of abuse. The delay in reporting placed the resident at risk for further harm.
CNA Engages in Abusive Behavior Towards Cognitively Impaired Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a cognitively impaired resident, identified as R1, remained free from staff-to-resident abuse. On the specified date, two CNAs, M and N, were preparing R1 for a shower. During this process, R1, who has severe cognitive impairment and is dependent on staff for transfers, began yelling and swatting at CNA M. In response, CNA M swatted back at R1 and placed her hand over R1's mouth, instructing her to hush. This interaction was witnessed by CNA N, who reported feeling uncomfortable with CNA M's behavior towards R1. R1's medical records indicate a history of hemiplegia, cognitive communication deficits, and generalized anxiety disorder, which contribute to her severe cognitive impairment. The care plan for R1 directed staff to approach her in a gentle and unhurried manner, allowing her to make decisions about her care and providing clear explanations of care activities. Despite these directives, CNA M's actions during the incident were contrary to the care plan, as she engaged in behavior that was abusive and not in line with the facility's policies. The facility's investigation substantiated the abuse, with witness statements from CNA N and Administrative Nurse E supporting the claims against CNA M. Administrative Nurse E's assessment of R1 after the incident revealed that R1 gestured to indicate that her mouth had been covered, corroborating the reports of abuse. The facility's failure to prevent this incident resulted in impaired psychosocial well-being for R1 and placed her at risk for continued abuse.

Failure to Immediately Report Staff-to-Resident Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure immediate reporting of staff-to-resident abuse involving a resident with severe cognitive impairment and physical disabilities. The resident, who had a history of hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and cognitive deficits following a cerebrovascular accident, was dependent on staff for transfers and required assistance with activities of daily living. On the day of the incident, the resident was being assisted by two CNAs for a shower when the resident began yelling and swatting at one of the CNAs. In response, the CNA swatted back, taunted the resident, and placed a hand over the resident's mouth to quiet her. The incident was witnessed by another CNA, who felt uncomfortable with the situation and later reported it. However, the report was not made immediately; the witnessing CNA took a break before notifying the administrative nurse about the abuse. The facility's policy required that any allegations of abuse be reported to the administrator immediately, or within two hours if the incident involved abuse or resulted in serious bodily harm. The delay in reporting the incident was a violation of this policy. The facility's investigation confirmed the abusive behavior by the CNA, who was subsequently terminated. The failure to report the abuse immediately placed the resident at risk for further harm. The facility's policy on abuse, neglect, and exploitation was not adhered to, as the staff did not report the incident in a timely manner, which is a critical component of ensuring resident safety and well-being.
