Resident R2's clinical record revealed an admission date of 10/17/14, with diagnoses that included confusion, irregular heart rate, high blood pressure, long-term kidney disease, and arthritis of the bone.
Resident R2's care plan entitled Self-Care Deficit dated 10/21/14, and updated 11/26/19, identified that Resident R2 was to be transferred using a "stand-up lift."
Resident R2's clinical record also revealed that he/she had been involved in a witnessed fall on 12/02/19, in his/her bathroom while being transferred by staff. Review of documentation related to the incident revealed that one staff member stood Resident R2 up to the sink in order to assist him/her with toileting.

During an interview on 1/02/20, at 2:30 p.m. Nurse Aide Employee E1 confirmed that he/she transferred Resident R2 with the assistance of one other employee only and did not use the lift.
