into the lungs through a mouthpiece or a
mask). Resident 1 was set up for the treatment
but the licensed nurse (LN-A) left the room.
The nebulizer treatment was completed in a
matter of minutes, however, LN-A did not return
to Resident 1's room to shut off the nebulizer.
Resident 1's family member (FM) looked for
LN-A but could not find her. FM ended up
turning off the completed nebulizer treatment.
The failure of leaving Resident 1 unattended
during a nebulizer treatment had the potential
for the treatment delivery to become misaligned
or interrupted and therefore not having the
medication delivered properly, or for LN-A to
miss observing any untoward side effects of the
nebulized medication. Leaving a resident
unattended during a medication administration
had the potential to result in a medication error.
Findings:
The facility's Admission Record indicated
Resident 1 was a 90 year old male admitted to
the facility in June 2017. Resident 1 had
multiple diagnoses which included dementia (a
decline in mental ability severe enough to
interfere with daily life; memory loss is an
example) with behavioral disturbances,
repeated falls, pneumonitis (inflammation of the
lungs) due to inhalation (breathing in) of food
and/or vomit, and chronic (persisting for a long
time) atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart
rhythm).
Review of Resident 1's Medication
Administration Record (MAR) for the month of
March 2019 indicated he had an order, as of
3/17/19, for Ipratropion-Albuterol (a
combination of two medicines that block the
production of mucus in the airways) 0.5mg
(milligrams) / 2.5mg per 3mL (milliliters) inhaled

During an interview on 3/28/19 at 9:45 a.m.,
FM stated LN-A set up and started Resident 1's
nebulizer treatment on the evening of 3/23/19,
(exact time unknown, but it was after dinner),
then left the room and did not return. FM stated
she was ready to leave the facility after visiting
with Resident 1 and looked for LN-A, to turn off
the finished nebulizer treatment, but could not
find her. FM stated she then turned off the
nebulizer machine. FM stated she left the
facility (on 3/23/19) at 7:10 p.m., and because
she did not find LN-A, FM told CNA-C, who
was at the nurse's station, to "please tell the
nurse I turned off the nebulizer ... and please
put [Resident 1] to bed by 7:30 p.m. or 8 p.m.
at the latest."
During an interview on 4/4/19 at 10:30 a.m.,
LN-D was asked to describe how she
administered nebulizer treatments to resident's.
LN-D stated, "I have to stay with [the resident]."
LN-D explained the preparation steps and
stated, while the treatment was delivered, "I'm
right there at the door and give [the other
roommates] any meds (medications) due, so
I'm in the room too. [It] takes five to seven
minutes to complete [the nebulizer treatment]."
During an observation on 4/4/19 at 12:15 p.m.,
LN-D administered a nebulizer treatment to
Random Resident 2. LN-D stayed with the
resident until the treatment was completed.
During an onsite interview on 4/4/19 at 1:15

Resident 1 back to his room sometime after
dinner so she could administer his nebulizer

The facility must ensure that §483.25(d)(1) The resident environment
remains as free of accident hazards as is
possible; and
§483.25(d)(2)Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide one of two
sampled residents (Resident 1) with adequate
supervision or assistance to prevent Resident 1
from falling from his wheelchair when he was
left unattended in his bedroom and not put to
bed in a timely manner. Resident 1 fell onto the
floor and sustained two lacerations (a wound
that is produced by the tearing of skin) and
bruising to his face. Resident 1 required
transport to the acute care hospital emergency
department. One laceration required sutures
(stitches) and the other was treated with steristrips (small pieces of medical tape used to
close a wound).
Failure to provide supervision and bedtime care
in a timely manner contributed to Resident 1
falling from his wheelchair and sustaining
injuries to his face.

Resident 1 was a 90 year old male admitted to
the facility in June 2017. Resident 1 had

example) with behavioral disturbances,
repeated falls, pneumonitis (inflammation of the
lungs) due to inhalation (breathing in) of food
and/or vomit, and chronic (persisting for a long
time) atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart
rhythm).
The quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
resident assessment tool) dated 1/5/19,
indicated Resident 1 required a wheelchair for
mobility (he no longer could walk), and had
severely impaired cognition (attention,
comprehension, thinking ability), and
disorganized thinking. Resident 1 was
dependent on staff for activities of daily living
and required extensive assistance of two
persons for dressing, toileting, hygiene,
bathing, and transfers to and from his bed to
the wheelchair. The MDS indicated Resident
had a fall with injury (skin tear, abrasion or
bruise) since his prior assessment date of
10/5/18.
During a telephone interview on 3/28/19 at 9:45
a.m., FM stated she visited Resident 1 on the
evening of Saturday, 3/23/19. At approximately
7:10 p.m., FM stated she could not find LN-A
and told a male certified nursing assistant
(CNA-C) that she was leaving the facility and to
"please put [Resident 1] in bed by 7:30 p.m. or
8 p.m. at the latest." FM stated she received a
phone call later that evening at 9:10 p.m. from
the facility. The facility informed her Resident 1
fell out of his wheelchair, and they could not
stop the bleeding to his forehead and he was
being sent to the emergency department. FM
stated when she met up with Resident 1 at the
hospital's emergency department, "he still had
his clothes on," and was not in his pajamas for
bed. The next day, FM stated she asked a

to bed, as she had requested the evening
before, and was told, "the CNA was busy and
we're short staffed." FM stated, "they're always
saying 'we're short staffed or two people called
off '... especially on weekends." When asked
how that impacted Resident 1, FM stated,
"well, he didn't get put to bed (on 3/23/19)
when I asked, then he fell."
Review of a Nurse's Note dated 3/23/19 and
documented at 10:38 p.m., indicated the
following: "At 8:45pm CNA came and told me
that resident is on the floor in his room, found
on the floor on his right side. Profuse bleeding
was noted on his head. First aid rendered by
staffs [sic]. Called 911 for transfer at 8:47 pm.
Resident sent to the ER (emergency room) at
9pm ... sent to ... Hospital."
An Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) note dated
3/25/19 at 9:50 a.m., which reviewed the fall,
indicated on the evening of 3/23/19, after
dinner, FM had wheeled Resident 1 (in his
wheelchair) back into his room. Resident 1's
roommate witnessed the fall and told the
Director of Nursing (DON), "he leaned forward
and fell out of the wheelchair."
During an observation on 4/4/19 at 10:37 p.m.,
Resident 1 was seated in his wheelchair across
from the nurses's station. There were four staff
members working at the nurse's station with
Resident 1 within line of sight. Resident 1's
eyes were closed and he did not respond to a
greeting. There was a scar at the center of his
forehead about one inch long, and sutures
remained over his left eyebrow which was
about one and one half inches long. There was
faint, remnant bruising to his face.

people to transfer him from his wheelchair to
his bed and sometimes he could be "very
resistant." CNA-B stated she was called into
another resident's room on the evening of
3/23/19 to help with a transfer. CNA-B stated
while she was in the midst of helping with the
other resident's transfer, someone informed her
Resident 1 had fallen. CNA-B stated, "I
shouldn't have left him in his room, normally
he's within sight." CNA-B was tearful as she
described being told Resident 1 fell to the floor,
and stated, "I was so upset."
During an interview on 4/4/19 at 11:40 a.m.,
the Director of Staff Development (DSD) was
asked what fall prevention interventions were
being implemented for Resident 1. The DSD
stated the facility utilized a wheelchair alarm
(an alarm that sounds if a resident attempts to
get out of a wheelchair unassisted), bilateral
floor pads (padded mats) on each side of the
bed one of which had an alarm within it, and a
low bed.
Resident 1's Plan of Care, initiated on 4/2/18
and revised on 10/19/18, addressed his "high
risk for falls" related to his limited physical
mobility, loss of strength, and dementia. The
Care Plan indicated Resident 1 had poor safety
awareness and repeated falls. Although the
alarm systems, floor pads, and low bed position
were documented as interventions there was
no mention of having Resident 1 within line of
sight.
During an interview on 4/4/19 at 12:45 p.m.,
Resident 1's Roommate stated he saw him fall
(on the evening of 3/23/19). The Roommate
stated, "it looked like he was trying to get up
from the wheelchair but fell and hit his head."
The Roommate stated he had called out to
facility staff for help after Resident fell. The
Roommate stated Resident 1 "falls easily."

During a telephone interview on 4/5/19 at 12:17
p.m., LN-A stated she took care of Resident 1
on the evening of 3/23/19. LN-A stated a CNA
notified her that Resident 1 fell and she found
him on the floor (in his room) bleeding. When
asked how Resident 1 fell, LN-A did not know
and stated, "he was found on his side [lying]
next to his bed."
During a telephone interview and concurrent
record review on 7/24/19 at 10:50 a.m.,
Resident 1's Fall Risk Assessments dated
12/29/18 and 3/24/19 were reviewed with the
DON. The DON verified Resident 1's Fall Risk
Score for each assessment was 26/high risk for
falls. High risk scores were between 16-42;
moderate risk scores were between 9-15; and
low risk scores were between 0-8. The most
recent Fall Risk Assessment dated 6/24/19,
indicated Resident 1 remained at a high risk for
falls with a score of 26.
The facility's policy and procedure titled, "Falls
and Fall Risk, Managing," revised 3/2018,
indicated under the section "Resident-Centered
Approaches to Managing Falls and Fall Risk:
#5, If falling recurs despite initial interventions,
staff will implement additional or different
interventions, or indicate why the current
approach remains relevant.
#6, If underlying causes cannot be readily ...
corrected, staff will try various interventions,
based on assessment of the nature or category
of falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or
until the reason for the continuation of the
falling is identified as unavoidable.
#7, In conjunction with the attending physician,
staff will identify and implement relevant
interventions (e.g., hip padding ...) to try to
minimize serious consequences of falling.
