Summary
A deficiency occurred when a certified nursing assistant (CNA) used unnecessary force while assisting a resident in a wheelchair in the facility lobby. The resident had a medical history of left-sided hemiparesis/hemiplegia and bilateral hearing impairment. According to an incident report, the CNA admitted to acting out of frustration, stating the resident was 'getting on my last nerve.' This action was observed and documented, and it was found to be in violation of the facility's policy prohibiting mistreatment, neglect, or abuse of residents. The incident was reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, and the facility's records confirmed the occurrence of the event.
