Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record, the facility failed to ensure an injury of unknown origin was reported to the California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1
sustained a moderately displaced (a break in the bone where the bones does not always crack all the way
through) fracture (a break in the bone) of the distal (farther end) diaphysis (shaft; or a long tubular structure
of the bone) of the femur (thigh bone).
This deficient practice resulted in the inability of CDPH to investigate Resident 1 ' s injury of femur fracture
in a timely manner and had the potential for facts related to the injury to be forgotten by staff.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record (Face sheet), the Face sheet indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis including encephalopathy (damage or disease that
affects the brain leading to the person to be confused), dementia (a condition of loss of cognitive
functioning such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning that it interferes with a person ' s daily life and
activities) and generalized weakness.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening
tool) dated 5/31/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was not able to make decisions that were consistent
and reasonable.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s SBAR dated 5/20/2023 and timed at 10:38 a.m., the SBAR indicated
Resident 1 was groaning and screaming while facility staff assisted her with lower body dressing (pulling
Resident 1 ' s pants up). The SBAR indicated Resident 1 was noted with swelling to her right knee,
Resident 1 ' s physician was informed and an order for a Stat (immediate) right knee X-ray was obtained.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s X-ray report dated 5/20/2024, the X-ray report indicated Resident 1
sustained a moderately displaced fracture of the distal diaphysis of the femur of indeterminate age with
moderate degenerative change of the knee with narrowing of the lateral joint compartment (the area on the
outside portion of the knee joint).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Transfer Form dated 5/20/2024 at 5:05 p.m., the Transfer Form indicated
Resident 1 was transferred to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for evaluation and treatment due to her
femur fracture.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 6/7/2024 at 11:55 a.m., the Director of Nursing Services (DON) stated Resident 1
was transferred to the GACH
because she (Resident 1) sustained a fracture to her right femur. The DON stated she did not report this
injury to CDPH because Resident 1 ' s physician documented Resident 1 ' s fracture was unavoidable due
to Resident 1 ' s diagnoses of osteoporosis (brittle bones).
During an interview on 6/7/2024 at 12:55 p.m., the Administrator (ADM) stated the facility should have
reported to CDPH when Resident 1 sustained an injury of an unknown.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P/P), titled, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or
Misappropriation – Reporting and Investigating, revised 4/2021, the P/P indicated if an injury of
unknown source is suspected, the suspicion must be reported immediately to the Administrator and to
other officials according to the State law. The Administrator or the individual making the allegation
immediately reports his or her suspicion to the State licensing/certification agency responsible for
surveying/licensing the facility within two hours of an allegation involving abuse or result in serious bodily
injury or within 24 hours of an allegation that does not involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury.
