**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of six sampled residents
(Resident 1) was not physically assaulted by another resident (Resident 2).
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a laceration (a deep, jagged tear or cut in the skin,
often caused by a sharp object or blunt trauma, resulting in an irregular wound that could bleed
significantly) to his right hand between his right thumb and right pointer finger, that required eight sutures (a
stitch or row of stitches holding together the edges of a wound or surgical incision) and abrasions (a minor
injury to the skin that occurs when the skin is rubbed or scraped) to his right forearm, right knee and left
knee.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 1 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including metabolic
encephalopathy (a brain disorder that occurs when there is a chemical imbalance in the blood caused by
an illness), and gait and mobility abnormalities (changes in a person's walking patterns or balance that
occur because of problems in the body).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 1/18/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 1 was able to make decisions that were consistent and reasonable, and he
was independent ambulating (the act of walking and moving about) and transferring from bed/chair to chair

on a slippery/wet floor to alert people of a fall risk, typically measuring 25 inches tall by 11 inches wide) and
sustained a cut to his right hand between his thumb and second finger requiring sutures. The COC
indicated Resident 1 complained of pain rated two out of 10 on a pain rating scale (an eleven-point scale
where pain is rated from zero to 10; 0=no pain, 1-3=mild pain, 4-6=moderate pain, and 7-10=severe pain,
and 10=worst imaginable pain), to his right hand.
