What should you do if you find a resident on the floor?

When a resident is found on the floor, the primary concern should be their safety and well-being. Assessing their condition is crucial because they may have sustained an injury that is not immediately obvious. By calling for help, you ensure that trained personnel can assist in providing the appropriate medical attention. It is vital not to move the resident until professionals arrive as moving them could exacerbate potential injuries, such as fractures or spinal injuries.

This approach emphasizes a cautious and responsible response to a situation that could be serious, prioritizing the resident’s health and safety by ensuring that they receive proper care from those equipped to handle such emergencies.
