Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), who had
a history of fall, received care and supervision in accordance with the resident's individualized plan of care.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1's fall on 1/19/2024, and a right-hand fracture.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/17/2024, with
diagnoses including history of falling, and muscle weakness.
A review of Resident 1's physician History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/18/2024, indicated the resident
could make needs known but could not make medical decisions.
A review of Resident 1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 had intermittent (comes
and goes) confusion or poor safety awareness, had 1-2 falls in the past three months, was ambulatory and
incontinent. The fall risk assessment indicated Resident 1 had a total score of 18, as a score of 10 or
greater indicated the resident was considered a high risk for potential falls.
A review of Resident 1's Care Plan for Risk for Falls dated 1/18/2024, indicated Resident 1 was at risk for
falls and injuries related to impaired vision, impaired cognition, poor body balance/control, history of falls,
and use of psychotropic (medication that affect the mind, emotions, and behavior ), and antihypertensive
medications (medicines that bring your blood pressure down). The care plan goal indicated the resident
would be free from injury due to fall for the next three months. The interventions indicated to visibly observe
resident frequently, monitor resident's medication for possible use, provide resident with a safe and
clutter-free environment, keep frequently used personal items within easy reach, and keep the call light
within easy reach.
A review of Resident 1's Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR)
Communication Form dated 1/19/2024 at 3:50 AM, indicated Resident 1 was found on the floor, was
confused, agitated, and hearing voices thinking people were talking about her. A review of Resident 1's
SBAR Communication Form dated 1/19/2024 at 3:13 PM, indicated the facility received Resident 1's X-ray
(digital image) results for right hand, right fingers, and right arm.
A review of Resident 1's Radiology Report dated 1/19/2024, indicated Resident 1 had a nondisplaced
fracture (broken bones, but the pieces were not moved far enough during the break) at the right proximal
metaphysis of the second metacarpal (the bone that connects the wrist to the index finger-hand).

During an interview on 2/2/2024 at 9:26 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated,
Resident 1 was confused and non-compliant (not following the rules). She would ask where she was, and I
would tell her that she was inside a facility. When I would try to change her, she would scream and not let
me change her. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 was not able to walk. CNA 1 stated, I provided frequent visual
monitoring to Resident 1 and I reported to my charge nurse. I did not document my visual observations in
the resident's medical chart.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/2/2024 at 2:40 PM, with the facility ' s Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON) Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. The ADON stated Resident 1 was
non-compliant with her care, had previous history of fall and episodes of hallucination (a sight, sound,
smell, taste, or touch that a person believes to be real but is not real ) and she refused to be transferred to
hospital for evaluation after she fell on 1/19/2024. The ADON stated Resident 1 was trying to get out of bed.
She was on psychotropic medication which could affect her decision making. The ADON stated he initiated
a person-centered care plan for Resident 1's high risk for fall on 1/18/2024. The ADON stated one of the
care plan interventions was to visibly observe the resident frequently. The ADON stated, Frequently means
that the CNA assigned to the resident is required to watch the resident frequently, every hour. Staff were
providing the frequent monitoring for Resident 1 but there is no specific chart regarding their hourly
monitoring inside Resident 1's chart. Licensed nurses document resident's frequent visual monitoring in the
nursing note section.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/2/2024 at 1:20 PM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2), Resident 1's fall care plan and nursing notes were reviewed. LVN 2 stated one of the care plan
interventions for Resident 1 was to visibly observe the resident frequently. LVN 2 stated, This means we go
to the resident's room at least every hour or every two hours to check on the resident. LVN 2 stated, We do
not document the exact time and frequency that we perform this monitoring. We just document in the
nursing notes that we perform the frequent visual checks. LVN2 stated there was no nursing progress note
in Resident 1's medical records for 1/18/2024, during the 7AM-3PM shift. LVN 2 stated documenting
frequent visual check in the nursing note without frequency and time was not an effective way to implement
Resident 1's care plan intervention. LVN 2 stated the potential outcome was recurrent falls.
During a telephone interview on 2/5/2024 at 8:05 AM with LVN 1 who was assigned to Resident 1 on
1/18/2024, during the 11PM-7AM shift, LVN 1 stated Resident 1 was confused and unable to walk. LVN 1
stated, On 1/19/2024, at around 3 AM, I made my rounds, and I went to Resident 1's room. Resident 1
thought there was someone outside the facility, so I went to the window, and I checked. I showed her that
no one was there, and I even opened the curtains for her to look outside. I got her situated and I walked
out. Within a minute or two of going to the nurse ' s station, I heard noises coming from Resident 1's room.
When I got to Resident 1's room, she was on the floor. LVN 1 stated that Resident 1 stated she got up to
use the restroom. LVN 1 stated, Resident 1 was a new admission; we did not know her behavior. We were
monitoring her frequently. I was monitoring her pretty much every hour. I did not document each time that I
checked in on Resident 1 in her chart.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plans-Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised
March 2022, indicated a person-centered care plan includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet
the resident ' s physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each
resident. Care plan interventions are chosen only after data gathering, proper sequencing of events, careful
consideration of the relationship between the resident ' s problem areas and their causes, and relevant
clinical decision making.

A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Fall Risk Assessment, revised 12/2022, indicated the
nursing staff, in conjunction with the attending physician, consultant pharmacist, therapy staff, and others,
will seek to identify and document resident risk factors for falls and establish a resident-centered fall
prevention plan based on relevant assessment information. The staff will seek to identify environmental
factors that may contribute to falling such as lighting and room layout.
