Did I probably got fired today and it’s just delayed ?

So I work at a hospital. I was on direct observation with a client . The patient was unscrewing a screw from the door and I did my best to verbally de escalate her into giving me the screw . I honestly didn’t know that in this case I could grab her hand / initiate contact to get the screw from the patient . I hit my badge but my badge was in my pocket and I found out later that’s why it didn’t go off . I called for help and the nurse came over to assist , she still refused to give up the screw . Other staff also came to assist me with getting the screw from her When security came and asked for the screw that’s when she swallowed it unfortunately . I had an interview with APS & patient relations about my mistake , I explained truthfully what happened. I also explained that I didn’t call for help when a staff walked by because I didn’t want to escalate her further , I wrote everything that happened on the investigation form as it happened I made a huge mistake , I honestly didn’t mean to neglect a patient . I’ve been there for 10 months and I’ve never had any type of infraction or complaint . I explained that I did my best to talk her into giving me the screw. This is my fault %100 They also stated that the final decision is made by the CEO I just hope I get another chance but I’m probably fired aren’t I ?
