She indicated on the morning of 3/2/22, after the tapes were reviewed, the Administrator notified the state agency, APS, law enforcement, and the resident's family and doctor. The DON indicated she had first assumed that because RN 13 had just had back surgery, she thought she may have grabbed Resident 13 for stability, but figured out from the video that Resident B was pulled.

Resident B turned her head to the left to face RN 13, and RN 13 continued to look straight ahead, as the resident continued to walk toward the medication storage room. When the resident was in the doorway of the medication storage room, RN 13 turned her head in the resident's direction, scooted her chair to the doorway, then stood up, flipping the chair she was sitting in backward. RN 13 grabbed Resident B's right arm toward the top just under the shoulder, and yanked it down across her own body until Resident B was on the floor sitting on her buttocks with her legs stretched out and her feet out in front of her. RN 13 then went behind the resident, grabbed the upper part of her arms from the outside, pulled her up off of her feet, and pivoted to left, facing the doorway, then lowered the resident to her feet. RN 13 changed her arm position to hold the resident under her arms around the ribs as the resident was not standing on her own, and slumping forward with her arms down in front of her. RN 13 raised her right arm to lean and brace herself in the doorway, then did not move positions for 10 seconds. RN 13 then reached down with her right arm, and tossed the chair that had flipped out of her way and to the other side of the nurses station. When the chair was moved, a jacket that was on the back of the chair fell to the ground. RN 13 then stepped on the jacket, and Resident B's right foot also was on top of the jacket. RN 13, holding Resident B from behind with her left arm wrapped around the resident's ribs, directed them out the hallway in a shuffling fashion, dragging the jacket on the floor with them. During the move from the doorway to the hallway, Resident B's arms were outstretched as though she was trying to locate a surface to hold on to. Another staff member appears from the opposite end of the hall and walked toward RN 13 and Resident B. That staff member took Resident B by the hands, and led her down the hall. RN 13 grabbed the jacket off the floor, and went back behind the nurses station.

Stage I : Intact skin with nonblanchable redness of a localized area, usually over a bony prominence. Stage II: Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink ulcer bed without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum filled blister. Stage III: Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle is not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling. Stage IV: Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the ulcer bed. Often includes undermining and tunneling. Unstageable: Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green, or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the ulcer bed.

On 4/5/13 at 9:00 A.M., the Director of Nursing provided the current facility policy on "Pressure Ulcer Assessment and Staging," dated 7/1/11. The policy included, "Guideline: When a pressure area is identified, an accurate assessment will be completed; a treatment program will be initiated and monitored...Procedure: 1.
