This is really bad?

So I am a direct support professional for nonverbal adults, I help them with everyday life tasks. I work overnights and am able to sleep. I am considered a mandatory reporter.

Friday morning I heard the morning shiftady getting up one of the guys and I guess he was unsteady where she couldn't hold him up well. She didn't need help but she said she hurt her back.

When I came in for my shift Friday night I was helping him get ready for bed and noticed a 2 inch sized bruise on his chest. I felt so bad for him. The bruise was red, blue and purple it was bad. I immediately made an incident report and called the on call supervisor. I did the proper steps to report it. Now tonight (Saturday) It looks more discolored on his upper side.

But now I feel like this is gonna come back on me because I was the one who reported it. I hope they won't think it was from me, I also don't want to be accused of abuse cause that would be awful. I just reported it. I am so worried when it comes Monday that my actual supervisor is gonna call me and ask me what happened. All I did was report something that I seen. He transferred fine for me. It is a big bruise. Now I have to tell the new shift coming up what happened and I just am stressing out.

What do I do? Do I worry?
