Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility staff failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1) left arm bruise was assessed and reported as a change of condition after being
reported to a licensed nurse. This deficient practice resulted in a delay of care for Resident 1 and had the
potential to cause pain, infection and lead to hospitalization. Findings:

admitted to the facility to the facility on 6/2/2025 with a diagnosis including unspecified dementia (decline in

two or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) on eating, oral hygiene, sit to lying,
chair/bed to chair transfer, toilet hygiene, tub/ shower transfer, oral hygiene and upper body dressing
(arms/shoulders).

was an acute fracture (a sudden break in the bone) involving the neck of the left humerus (the long bone
located in the upper arm extending from the shoulder to the elbow), with mild displacement.
During an interview on 7/ 9/2025 at 1:45 p.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1stated she took care of Resident 1 on
6/28/2025 for 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift and saw Resident 1 trying to protect her left arm. CNA1 stated upon
observing the left arm there was a large purplish bruise present. CNA 1 stated she reported her findings to
her LVN 1. CNA 1 stated LVN 1 told her she would let the treatment nurse know about the bruise.
During an interview on 7/9/2025 at 4:00 p.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated he worked 6/28/2025 from 7 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. shift when CNA 1 reported Resident 1’ s bruise on the left arm to him. LVN 1 stated he
looked in the chart and saw charting that Resident 1 had a bruise on the left arm on admission but did not
go to assess the resident. LVN 1stated he told CNA 1 to report it to the treatment nurse. LVN1 stated it was
important to assess Resident 1’s arm because there could be changes and the arm can get worse.
During a telephone interview on 7/10/2025 at 2:30 p.m. with the Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated on
6/28/2025 she worked as a treatment nurse from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift when LVN 1 told her Resident 1 has
a purplish bruise to the left arm. RN stated she checked the charting in the computer and stated the bruise
was already charted . RN stated she never went to assess Resident 1’s arm because she
didn’t consider it a change in condition. RN 1 stated when someone reports a bruise it is her job to
go and assess the bruise, she stated she should have looked at Resident 1’s arm when it was
reported to her. RN 1 stated part of her assessment is to measure the size of the bruise, the color, if there
is pain , appearance of the resident’s skin and chart her findings. RN 1 stated it is important to do an
assessment to identify if there were any changes to the skin. RN 1 stated because the left arm went
unnoticed the injury could have gotten worse. RN 1 stated this was a change of condition.
During an interview on 7/11/2025 at 11 :15 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
LVN can look at the resident’s arm chart and notify the doctor and the RN does a more thorough
assessment document and notify the doctor. The DON stated the nurses chose to look at the
documentation in the chart instead of looking at the resident’s arm. The DON stated it is important
to do an assessment to confirm what is going on or if there are any changes, then the nurse must start a
change of condition form (COC). The DON stated she knew the day shift did not assess the resident and
this was a learning experience for the staff.
A review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled, “Change in a Residents Condition or
Status, revised December 2016, indicated, our facility shall promptly notify the resident, his or her Attending
Physician, and representative (sponsor) of changes in the resident’s medical/ mental condition
and/or status (e.g., changes in the level of care, billing/payments, resident’s rights, etc.). The nurse
will notify the resident’s Attending Physician or Physician on call when there has been a(an):
accident or incident involving the resident. A significant change is a major decline or involvement in the
residents’ status that will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or implementing
standard disease- related clinical interventions (is not “self- limiting”). The P&P indicated the
nurse will record in the resident’s medical record information relative to changes in the
resident’s medical/ mental condition or status.
