On 7/30/19 during 2 anonymous interviews with a surveyor it was stated that the pummel cushion helps keep him/her in their chair. On 7/30/19 at 11:45 a.m. during an interview with the charge nurse it was stated that the pummel cushion is to help remind him/her to stay sitting, it helps him/her sit up straight in the chair.
