Before transferring R1 from the wheelchair to bed to clean R1, S1 left R1 on the wheelchair, removed footrests and walked out from the room to ask for assistance. By the time S1 returned, R1 was on the floor laying on right shoulder parallel to the bed. S1 pulled R1 from the floor and assisted R1 back to bed by lifting and holding R1 under R1's arms. As per medical professionals interviewed during investigation, lifting and holding R1 under R1 arms could contribute to the injuries resulted from fall.
