Question 1: Does Mr. Rowland pose a greater or lesser risk of violence because he is bed ridden? Why?
Mr. Rowland's physical injuries restrict his movements but those restrictions also lead to his heightened feelings of frustration and aggravation, both early warning signs of possible violence.
Question 2: What might the CNA have done differently to avoid presenting Mr. Rowland with the opportunity to grope her?
The CNA turned her back on Mr. Rowland as she poured his water. A better approach would have been to place the tray table between herself and the patient before pouring the water.
