A Behavior Note for the aggressive resident revealed that “at approximately 3:50 PM one day, a nurse observed [the victim] lying on the floor in [the aggressive resident’s] room.” The victim “had blood coming from his nose, a hematoma to his right eyebrow area and some shortness of breath, as he yelled out for help.”
The aggressive resident “was sitting in his wheelchair beside [the victim].” The aggressive resident had hit the victim “because he was in his room and hit him in the eye.
