order was received to x-ray Resident 1's right hand.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a review of Resident 1's Patient Report (PR), dated 4/30/25, the PR indicated x-rays were done on
Resident 1's right and left hand, due to Right [and] Left hand pain. The PR indicated there was no fracture,
and no abnormality.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent record review and interview on 5/14/25, at 1:20 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1's clinical record was reviewed. The DON stated she was not aware of Resident 1's
issues of pain and swelling of her wrists and hands. The DON was not able to produce documentation of a
facility investigation into the source of the pain and swelling to the Resident 1's hands, or documentation
that this possible Injury of Unknown Source was reported to The Department. The DON stated one possible
reason it was not reported was because the x-ray did not show a fracture or injury to the wrists or hands.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 5/14/25, at 2:45 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 2,
Resident 1's clinical record was reviewed. RN 2 stated she recalled caring for Resident 1. RN 2 stated she
recalled making the PN entry on 4/28/25, at 6:30 p.m., when Resident 1 complained of 10 out of 10 pain to
her right wrist. RN 2 stated, I assessed the resident. I asked her the pain level, she screamed at me ' 10/10
pain!'

record was reviewed. RN 3 stated she recalled caring for Resident 1. RN 3 stated that on 4/29/25, I looked

During a concurrent record review and interview on 5/28/25, at 11:40 a.m., with the Clinical Resource
Corporate Registered Nurse (CRCRN), Resident 1's clinical record was reviewed. The CRCRN stated he
recalled Resident 1. The CRCRN stated Resident 1's swollen, discolored, and painful right wrist was not
investigated by the facility as an Injury of Unknown Source, nor was it reported to The Department as an
Injury of Unknown Source. The CRCRN stated the right wrist could have been an injury because of a fall
Resident 1 experienced on 4/12/25, but could not explain why Resident 1's clinical record did not contain
documentation of any injury to Resident 1's right wrist until 16 days later.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/10/25, at 12:25 p.m., with Treatment Registered

care, healing progress, and administers medications to the skin). The TRN stated she recalled making the
PN and stated she was doing a head-to-toe assessment on Resident 1. The TRN stated she recalled
making the entry, skin discoloration to the left wrist and stated she probably updated Resident 1's CP . The
TRN stated she was unaware that resident injuries of unknown source needed to be investigated and
reported to The Department.
