Scenario:
A resident fell and hit their head but claims they are fine and don't want to go to the hospital. What do you do?
Our protocol states that if a resident hits their head we are REQUIRED to call EMS. They can refuse care, but they have to refuse care through the paramedics, not us.

Our protocol states that we are not allowed to give information about one resident to another. This is against HIPAA and is considered a violation.
