Residents Affected - Some
- At 0715 hours, Resident 1 complained of pain to the back of his neck. Resident 1 received enoxaparin and
had a risk of bleeding; and 911 was called for further evaluation.
On 8/8/23 at 1413 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 1. Resident 1 stated he remembered
slipping from his bed to the fall mattress at night. However, Resident 1 was unable to provide a specific date
and time for the occurrence.
On 8/9/23 at 1114 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated on 8/3/23 at 0245
hours, a CNA reported she found Resident 1 on floor. LVN 1 stated she thenassessed Resident 1 and
started a neuro check (a neurological assessment of a patient's neurological functions, motor and sensory
response and level of consciousness). LVN 1 stated Resident 1 told her that he did not hit his head. LVN 1
stated on 8/3/23 at 0715 hours, Resident 1 reported a neck pain. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 was receiving
enoxaparin and had a risk of bleeding, so she called 911 and Resident 1 was then taken to the acute care
hospital.
When asked LVN 1 if she reported the incident to the physician and family member of Resident 1, she
stated she was busy and not able to notify the physician immediately after the fall incident. LVN 1 stated
she attempted to call the physician and left a voice message on 8/3/23 at 0530 hours, approximately three
hours after Resident 1 was found on the floor. She stated she notified the family member on 8/3/23 at 0700
hours (around four hours after the fall incident). LVN 1 acknowledged she should have notified the physician
and family member immediately after the fall incident.
Further review of Resident 1's medical record failed to show Resident 1's physician and family member
were notified of the fall incident until on 8/3/23 at 0700 hours (approximately fourhours after the fall
incident).
On 8/10/23 at 0930 hours, a concurrent interview and medicalrecord review was conducted with the ADON.
The ADON verified the above findings and stated the fall incident was a change of condition for Resident 1.
The ADON stated LVN 1 should have promptly notified thephysician and family member after the fall
incident.
