Can someone help me with some BBing questions?

Two main question about blue booking.
(1) In an open memo, when in the rule explanation paragraph, am I required to BB cite the facts relevant to the case I am using to explain the law. For example, In Simmons the court determined the hospital had acted negligently by failing to put up a wet floor sign. Simmons v. Hospital, 1 P.2d. 1 (Kan. 2015). The hospital had been flooded by a monsoon earlier in the evening. Blah, Blah, Blah... The first sentence obviously requires a citation, but do I need to cite the sentence that only discusses the facts?
(2) In a situation like this:
Like in Knudsen, there is an obvious need to address an individual who is affecting the business interests of the organization.
Am I expected to cite the Knudsen reference? I feel like the answer is yes, but I'm not certain. It is the Analysis part of the IRAC and I am only comparing the Knudsen case the facts in my case.
Thanks everyone!
