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 prevent fall () for one (1) of three (3)
sampled residents (Resident 1), assessed as high risk for falls when Resident 1 was not provided
assistance when getting up from the bed to go to the bathroom and failing to initiate a fall care plan (a
document created for a resident receiving healthcare, personal care, or other forms of support) , as
indicated on the facility policy and procedure.
This deficient practice resulted to Resident 1 ' s fall on 5/19/2024 and transfer to General Acute Care
Hospital (GACH 1).
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 5/9/2024 with
diagnoses which included muscle weakness, history of falling, and abnormality of gait and stability.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Fall Risk Evaluation, dated 5/9/2024 indicated Resident 1 ' s score was 11 which
indicated high risk of fall. Resident 1 ' s risk factors included were history of falls in the past 3 months,
change of condition in the last 14 days, and balance problem while walking.
A review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P),dated 5/10/2024, indicated Resident 1 had the
capacity to understand make decisions. It indicated Resident 1 ' s diagnosis of subdural hematoma (SDH, a
clot of blood that develops between the surface of the brain and the dura mater [brain ' s tough outer
covering], usually due to stretching and tearing of veins on the brain ' s surface. These veins rupture when a
head injury suddenly jolts or shakes the brain) and was status post craniotomy (an operation in which a
small hole is made in the skull or a piece of bone from the skull is removed to show part of the brain).
A review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized care and screening tool), dated
5/16/2024, indicated Resident 1 ' s cognitive (processes of thinking and reasoning) skills for daily decision
making was intact. Resident 1 required substantial maximal assistance (helper does more than half the
effort, helper lift or hold trunk or limb) with toileting, shower, and lower body dressing. Resident 1 required
partial / moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort. Helper lift, holds, support trunk or limbs)
with sit to stand (ability to come to standing position from sitting in a chair, wheelchair, or on the side of the
bed), toilet transfer (ability to get off a toilet commode), and walking 10 feet (once standing ability to walk at
least 10 feet in the room, corridor, or similar space).
