This resulted in Resident #1 being sexually assaulted by Resident #2. Using the reasonable person concept, as referenced on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Psychosocial Outcome Severity Guide, the facility's failure to protect residents from sexual abuse resulted in psychosocial harm to Resident #1 that was not Immediate Jeopardy.
