Bed Alarm

I got report about a patient that had delirium and had a fall after fainted at his SNF. Ten minutes after report I saw the charge nurse trying to keep the patient from leaving the room. I ran. She held his arm and I held his waist from the back. Not even one minute later, he fainted on me. We held on for dear life. I yelled for the manager who was walking by. He came in and a few nurses. We got the patient back into bed safely. The patient woke up after a few minutes. Luckily no injury. Later on I asked the charge nurse if she had heard a bed alarm since I did not. She said no.
