Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care and services to
prevent a fall (move downward, typically rapidly and freely without control, from a higher to a lower level) for
one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Fall Management System, and Resident 1's care plan when facility staff failed to turn on Resident 1's
pressure pad alarm (a device that alerts a caregiver when a patient or family member is getting out of bed)
and return Resident 1's bed to the lowest position.
These failures had the potential to increase Resident 1's risk of fall and result in Resident 1 to sustain injury
and/or harm in an event of a fall.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 1
on 11/19/2023, and readmitted Resident 1 on 2/19/2024, with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus
(a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), heart failure (condition in which
the heart cannot pump enough blood to all parts of the body), and acute cerebrovascular insufficiency
(brain does not receive enough blood flow).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/22/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 1 was moderately impaired in cognitive skills (the ability to make daily
decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for toileting,
dressing, eating, and bathing.
During a review of Resident 1's care plan titled, (Resident 1) At risk for falls ., dated 10/16/2024, the care
plan indicated the goal of the care plan was that Resident 1 would be free of falls. The care plan indicated
the interventions used to meet the goal included for staff to provide Resident 1 with a low bed and a pad
alarm in wheelchair and bed to alert staff of Resident 1's attempt to get up unassisted.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/8/2024 at 3:25 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 1, Resident 1 was lying in her bed with the head of the bed elevated. The bed was not at the lowest
position to the floor. CNA 1 stated CNA 1 and the treatment nurse (TN) had just been in the room and that
the bed was raised during the care of Resident 1. CNA 1 stated the bed was not returned to the lowest
position after the TN and CNA 1 had finished providing care to Resident 1. CNA 1 stated the bed needed to
be at the lowest position to prevent injury if Resident 1 fell out of the bed.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/8/2024 at 3:30 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, Resident 1 was lying in her bed with the head of the bed elevated. Resident 1's pad alarm in bed
was observed to be in the off position. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's bed alarm needed to be turned on
