Who should evaluate elderly person found on floor of nursing home?

Closest person: Most likely the nh resident will be found by a cna. Of course every nh has protocols for residents that have fallen or are found on the floor. Generally the floor rn will be notified as well as the dir of nursing (don). The attending physician will also be notified, even if there seems to be no injury. Falls are taken very seriously in the elderly in every care location.
