Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1) received treatment for a left first toe fracture (break in bone) per physician's orders.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficiency had the potential for Resident 1's injury to get worse.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including disorders of bone density and structure (condition
where bones become weaker and more prone to fracture) and muscle wasting and atrophy (the loss of
muscle mass and strength resulting in reduced physical function and mobility).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
dated 5/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand
and process information) and required partial assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for personal
hygiene and to walk 10 feet.
During a review of Resident 1's Radiology Results Report (RRR) dated 6/6/2025, the RRR of Resident 1's
left foot x-ray (test that captures images of the structures inside the body) indicated had a finding of diffuse
osteopenia (condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal), with an acute fracture present at
the base of the left first toe without significant displacement.
During a review of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary Team Conference Record (IDTR) dated 6/9/2025, the IDTR
indicated a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) noticed a bruise on Resident 1's left first toe and at the base of
the left second toe without known cause or complaints of pain from Resident 1. The IDTR further indicated
an x-ray was completed and resulted with an acute fracture of the left first toe and diffuse osteopenia. The
IDTR indicated Resident 1's physician was made aware and instructed to tape the first toe to the second
toe and an appointment for orthopedic (branch of medicine that deals with the musculoskeletal system)
consult was scheduled for 6/13/2025 at 3:30 PM.
During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Reported (OSR) with active orders as of 6/20/2025, the
OSR indicated to tape the first toe to the second toe until orthopedic consult was done.
During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes (PN) dated 6/18/2025, the PN indicated the facility received
Resident 1's after visit progress note from Resident 1's orthopedic appointment scheduled 6/13/2025. The
PN indicated the orthopedics' recommendation to buddy tape (the practice of bandaging an injured finger
or toe to an uninjured one) or splint (medical device used to support and protect

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/20/2025 at 10:47 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1 in Resident 1's room, Resident 1's left foot was observed. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's foot had
discoloration on the left great toe, but it was very light and had improved since the discoloration was initially
discovered. LVN 1 stated the left first toe was not currently taped to the second toe and LVN 1 did not know
how many days Resident 1 had the toes taped without looking at the chart.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 6/20/2025 at 11:20 AM with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated Resident 1's physician orders
indicated to tape Resident 1's toes until the orthopedic appointment on 6/13/2025 and LVN 1 did not know if
Resident 1's toes were taped after the appointment.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/20/2025 at 1:45 PM with the Infectious Preventionist
Nurse (IPN), Resident 1's orthopedic after visit notes titled, Orthopedic Clinical Encounter Summaries,
(OCES) dated 6/13/2025 was reviewed. The OCES indicated a recommendation to buddy tape or splint the
left great big toe fracture for four to six weeks and bear weight as tolerated. The IPN stated the nurse
documented the recommendations in Resident 1's PN but did not transcribe the recommendations as a
physician's order and it was not followed up afterwards.
During an interview on 6/20/2025 at 2:35 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated there was
no documentation to indicate when Resident 1's toes were taped together per physician orders. The DON
stated when the nurse received the orthopedic doctor's after visit notes, the nurse should have written the
orders to buddy tape or splint the first and second toe for four to six weeks. The DON stated orders should
have been placed for treatment and monitoring to ensure the orthopedic doctor's recommendations were
carried out and Resident 1's toes were stabilized. The DON stated Resident 1 had potential for further
injury if treatment was not followed.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication and Treatment Orders, dated
7/2016, the P&P indicated orders for medications and treatments will be consistent with principles of safe
and effective order writing.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Charting and Documentation, dated 7/2017, the P&P indicated
treatment or services performed is to be documented in the resident medical record.
