While on unit, staff and client exchanged words (unclear from audio). Client kicked a table towards the staff member, who then removed the table from the unit. Client then stood out of his seat and aggressively walked toward staff, and staff failed to use a proper PRT single-man restraint to transition client to the floor. No injuries noted. Staff placed on administrative leave. The Child Abuse Hotline was called (screened out).
Licensing Specialist: Clayton DeBoer.
Facility visited and video reviewed. Video shows that staff did not use unnecessary force when taking client to the ground. However, although client approached staff rapidly, client was not causing injury to himself, peers, staff or property when this hold was initiated. Facility cited 905.10.
Facility advised that staff will not be returning to the facility and is no longer an employee.
