Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe environment as
indicated in the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled, Preventive Maintenance Program, and Safe
and Homelike Environment, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) by failing to:
1. Ensure the Maintenance Director (TMD) had a schedule of maintenance services for Resident 1's bed
remote control coil line (coiled remote-control cord).
2. Ensure Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2) prevented Resident 1 from grabbing onto Resident 1's
damaged/broken bed remote control coil hanging on Resident 1's right bed side rail (an adjustable bar
attached to a bed to help patients/residents move around) during care.
As a result, on 12/17/2024 at 5 am, Resident 1 sustained a laceration (a wound when skin, tissue, and/or
muscle was torn or cut open) on Resident 1's inner right hand between the thumb and index finger (also
known as the pointer finger, or first finger) measuring 2 centimeters (cm-unit of measurement) in length, by
0.2 cm in width and by 0.2 in depth. Resident 1 was transferred to General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1)
on 12/17/2024 at 10:45 am and required seven surgical sutures (stitches, length of thread used to join up
pieces of tissue) for wound closure. Resident 1 had six stitches (a medical procedure that uses thread and
a needle to close wounds) along the right thumb with ragged edges and one stitch on the base of the index
finger with skin tear (a traumatic wound that occurs when the skin's layers separate).
Cross Reference: F908
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 1
on 8/29/2024 with diagnoses that included type II Diabetes Mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in
blood sugar control and poor wound healing), heart failure (a condition when the heart is not able to pump
enough blood and oxygen to the body's organs) and respiratory failure (a condition when the lungs cannot
get enough oxygen into the blood).
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P, a formal and complete assessment of the
resident by a physician) dated 9/17/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1 was non-verbal and did not have
the capacity to make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/3/2024,

with ragged edges and one stitch on the base of the index finger with skin tear.
During an observation of Resident 1's right hand in Resident 1's room on 1/3/2025 at 11:24 am, Resident 1
was lying in bed with eyes closed. Resident 1's right hand was wrapped with dry bandage roll (a long,
rolled-up piece of absorbent material used to cover wounds, apply pressure, and secure dressings).
During an observation of Resident 1's right palm, in Resident 1's room and concurrent interview with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) on 1/3/2025 at 11:29 am, Resident 1's right palm had seven stitches
between the thumb and the index finger. LVN 1 stated, Resident 1 was sent to GACH 1 on 12/17/2024 due
to a cut to the right hand from Resident 1's bed remote control coil line. LVN 1 stated, the outer hard plastic
layer of Resident 1's bed remote control coil line was broken, and part of the coil was pointing out. LVN 1
stated, when CNA 2 turned and repositioned Resident 1, Resident 1 grabbed onto the sharp broken part
(plastic) of the bed remote control coil line, and Resident 1 sustained a laceration of Resident 1's right
hand/palm. LVN 1 stated, staff (in general) need to ensure Resident 1's equipment was in good condition to
prevent injury to Resident 1. LVN 1 stated, maintenance staff need to routinely check all devices and
equipment to ensure the equipment and devices were in good condition and working properly for resident's
safety.
During an interview with the Maintenance Assistant (MA) on 1/3/2025 at 12 pm, the MA stated, the MA did

wire was exposed, and the outer layer/hard plastic was peeled off, forming a sharp pointed edge. The MA
stated, there was blood stain on the broken part of Resident 1's bed remote control coil. The MA stated,
checking the bed remote control was not part of the Maintenance Department's routine task since MA
started working at the facility nine months ago. The MA stated, the Maintenance Department would only
check the bed remote control upon request. The MA stated, checking the bed remote control was added to
the Maintenance Department's routine task after the incident with Resident 1, who sustained a laceration of
the inner right hand on 12/17/2024. The MA stated, it was important to check all resident's equipment
routinely including the bed remote control to ensure resident's safety and to prevent injury to the residents.
The MA stated, if the Maintenance Department performed a routine check and found the broken bed
control coil line earlier, Resident 1's injury could have been prevented.
During a concurrent review of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of healthcare professionals
who work together to provide patient care), Progress Note dated 12/17/2024, timed at 2:27 pm, and an
interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/3/2025 at 1:17 pm, the IDT Progress Note
indicated on 12/17/2024 around 5 am, Resident 1 was being turned and changed by CNA 2 and CNA 2
saw Resident 1 holding onto the siderail on the right side of the bed with bloody open cut in the inner right
hand between Resident 1's thumb and index finger. The IDT Progress Note indicated Resident 1's bed
control coil line was damaged with the hard plastic sticking out. The DON stated Resident 1 grabbed onto
Resident 1's damaged/broken bed coil line and sustained an injury on Resident 1 right hand. The DON
stated, it was important to routinely check all medical devices and equipment and to keep them in good
condition for resident's safety. The DON stated, Resident 1's injury (laceration to the right inner hand) could
be avoided if the facility maintained its equipment in good condition.
During an interview with the facility's Administrator (ADM) on 1/3/2025 at 3:01 pm, the ADM stated CNA 2
was terminated. The ADM and Surveyor 1 called CNA 2 for a telephone interview and CNA 2 did not
answer the phone call.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Safe and Homelike Environment, dated 12/19/2022, the P&P
indicated The facility will provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. The P&P indicated
This includes ensuring that the resident can receive care and services safely and that the physical layout of
the facility maximizes resident independence and does not pose a safety risk.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Preventive Maintenance Program, dated 12/19/2022, the P&P
indicated A preventive maintenance program shall be developed and implemented to ensure the provision
of a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public. The P&P

Based on observation, interview, and recorded review, the facility failed to maintain the resident's bed
remote control coil line (coiled remote-control cord) in safe operating condition for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1). The hard plastic covering of Resident 1's bed remote control coil line was damaged
and pointed out.
