Castillo kept acting in belligerent manner and stating that he was going to leave. I, Steven Evans then spoke to him about the fact that he appeared to be intoxicated and that he could not leave at this time. I reiterated to him that any attempts at leaving would not work and he could possibly end up being restrained by medical staff with Security assistance. The patient did not like what I said to him, so he threatened to leave and then proceeded to step out of his room. Security Officer Alonso and I asked him twice to go back to his bed, at which time he became unreceptive and refusing to go back to his room. Officer Alonso and I had to physically and forcefully direct him back to his bed. Once on the bed, he became physically aggressive and attempted to hit Officer Alonso. We instantly took control of the patient's arms and upper body while Security Officers Paz and Weiland controlled his legs as he kept screaming and fighting with us. Nurse Baptiste proceeded to contact the patient's Doctor Cleveland so that a sedative could be given to him. At 0020 hours Nurse Baptiste walked into the room to administer a sedative to Mr. Castillo. The patient fervently refused and Security had to physically hold the patient down during the

MICU 15A was dispatched to 30 West Ave, @ Genesis Healthcare, Wayne Center in the Wayne Business District in Radnor Township, for an ALS Emergency, Assault Victim. The weather conditions were cloudy, cool and dry. MICU 15A responded with care per protocol to the stated location with EMT Straub driving. On arrival, the EMS Crew proceeded to the nurse's station, and the individuals there did not know anything about an incident, there was a female standing in one of the hallways who advised that there was a person sitting over where she was.

It's Rose Ann. I just want to let you know that Mr. Bogue, James in room 564, MRN 291222300018 fell yesterday around 4pm. He was Amanda's patient and she completed the voice. I notified our risk management Jodi Palmer about the incident. Apparently the patient was instructed by Amanda not to get up because he was hypotensive, but he didn't listen and grabbed the walker and fell forward. We ended up calling RRT because he was hypotensive and developed a big hematoma on his right groin surgical post angiogram from previous day. The patient was transferred in ICU12. We were short staff from 7a-7p, I called everyone with no luck. Our nurses and PCA were overwhelmed, because we kept on getting multiple admissions, including 2 cath lab patients

Mr. J.’s daughter noticed a red mark on her father who then reported this to the nursing assistant and her concerns were immediately dismissed. If the nursing assistant was properly trained in the use of restraints and had knowledge of patient outcomes, this patient would not have developed a pressure ulcer. The nursing assistant should have immediately informed the nurse and measurements should have been taken to prevent further breakdown of the patient’s skin which was not done. It is evident in reading this case that Mr. J developed a Stage I pressure ulcer from being retrained in one position with no assessment or release for an undetermined amount of time.

Once the error was realized, the patient was sent to the ICU.

William Johnson is a 65-year-old male that was readmitted to Holy Cross after spending 6 days in a skilled nursing facility. The client was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of influenza.

Mr. R.T. was admitted to the unit due to increased dysphagia for the past two weeks and exacerbation of seizures. It was hard for me to find meaningful way of communication with him due to his serious developmental delay; however, the patient was sometimes able to express his preferences by telling “more, yes”. Health care providers in the unit were aware of, and some already experienced a behavioral aggression from Mr. R.T. When I tried to flush his Saline Lock, the patient suddenly hit me 2 times to my left hand. I never expected this and I was emotionally assaulted. Except for the pain in my hand, I also experienced psychological stress that could possibly affect my caring toward the patient. I perfectly understood that he was mentally disable; however, it took a lot of effort from me to remove the bias toward the patient. I did not demonstrate my emotional stress to the peers and Course Director but I felt depressed for the rest of the clinical day. Consequently, RN advised me to not continue providing any interventions for this patient except for basic care.
