Resident #76, after multiple attempts of speaking with her, stated this was consensual and he (Resident #19) did not force himself on her. Resident #76 has been interviewed on different occasions by the nurse alone and also by physician several times and she has stated the same response that they were making a bigger deal out of this then needs to be made. The final impression was history of consensual sexual intercourse.

RLNHA #500 felt residents should be able to have sex even though the resident's BIMS score was five, the resident wanted to have sex. The DON and RLNHA #500 confirmed STNA #223 observed the residents having sex, did not stop it, walked away to get a nurse, and did not know if it was consensual or not.

STNA #223 closed the door, did not attempt to stop the potential sexual abuse, and got the charge nurse because she didn't know what to do. The charge nurse also voiced she did not know what to do either, so they had another nurse come over. Both nurses entered the room and stopped the potential sexual abuse.
