F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one sampled resident (Resident 1), who had diagnosis of dementia (loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning - to such an extent that the loss interferes with a person's daily life and activities), had history of fall, and was assessed as high risk for falls, received the care and services necessary to prevent accidents and falls by failing to: -Develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident 1's fall prevention, per the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Person Centered Plan of Care. -Frequently monitor Resident 1 and anticipate resident's needs to ensure the resident's safety to prevent fall accidents. As a result, on 6/8/2024 (two days after admission), Resident 1 was found on the floor, complaining of pain, and was transferred to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) where Resident 1 was diagnosed with a left femur fracture (broken thigh bone). The GACH recommended surgery. Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/6/2024, with diagnoses including a history of falling, dementia, and osteoporosis (bone disease that develops when the structure and strength of the bone weakens). A review of Resident 1's admission assessment dated [DATE], indicated the resident's Morse Fall Score (method of assessing a patient's likelihood of falling) was 75. A score of 45 or higher indicated Resident 1 was a high risk for falls. A review of the Activities of Daily Living Self Care Performance Deficit Care Plan dated 6/6/2024 indicated the resident had activity intolerance due to disease process of dementia. The care plan goal indicated Resident 1 would improve current level of function and the care plan interventions included the following: -Provide the resident with 1-2 staff for repositioning and turning in bed every two hours and as necessary. -Provide the resident with total assistance for eating.

A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool) dated 6/9/2024, indicated Resident 1 had severe cognitive impairment (problems with a person's ability to think, remember, and make decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required substantial to maximal assistance of facility staff with toileting hygiene, rolling to the left and right side and sit to lying and lying to sitting on the side of the bed.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few According to a review of the GACH History & Physical (H&P) dated 6/9/2024, Resident 1 was admitted for left hip pain and was noted to have a left hip fracture. The GACH H&P indicated Resident 1 was confused, disoriented, and complained of left hip pain. A review of Resident 1's GACH Computed Tomography (CT - diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a computer linked x-ray machine to create detailed images of the inside of the body) of the left hip, dated 6/10/2024, indicated Resident 1 had a subcapital fracture of the left femur (thigh bone) without significant displacement. A review of the GACH General Notes dated 6/10/2024, indicated Resident 1's legal guardian did not want the resident to have the recommended surgery. As a result, the surgery was canceled. A review of Resident 1's H&P dated 6/12/2024, indicated Resident 1 was unable to provide accurate history of medical issues and did not have medical decision-making capacity. During an observation on 6/24/2024 at 10:45 AM in Resident 1's room at the facility, Resident 1 was observed lying in bed, call light within reach, a mat to the right and left side of the bed, and the bed was in the lowest position. Resident 1 stated there was pain in the left hip but refused pain medication. During an interview on 6/24/2024 at 11:15 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 stated Resident 1 was a high risk for falls and the facility should have been monitoring Resident 1 for the risk for falls more frequently, because the resident was confused. On 6/24/2024 at 2:19 PM, during a concurrent interview and record review with LVN 1, Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 did not have a care plan for a history of falls developed or implemented since admission on [DATE] (over two weeks). LVN 1 stated there should have been a care plan developed and implemented so the facility could anticipate and plan accordingly to accommodate the residents needs to prevent falls. LVN 1 stated because there was a history of falls, that was a repeated issue and should have been assessed further to prevent harm to Resident 1. LVN 1 stated this incident could have been prevented. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/24/2024 at 2:44 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. The DON stated because the resident had a history of falls, a care plan should have been developed and implemented upon admission to the facility, to prevent Resident 1 from another fall or injury. The DON stated the fall could have been prevented if a Fall care plan was developed with interventions such as frequent monitoring to prevent injury. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Person Centered Plan of Care, dated June 2023, indicated the person-centered care plan must describe services that were provided to the resident to attain and maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being that would accommodate resident needs, request, and refusal to treatment. The P&P indicated the person-centered care plan would include interventions to attempt to manage risk factors and be periodically reviewed and revised by the Interdisciplinary Team as changes in the resident's care and treatment occur. The P&P indicated to re-evaluate and modify care plans as necessary to reflect changes in care, service, and treatment, quarterly, and with significant change in status assessment. Care plan evaluation must occur in response to changes in the resident's physical, emotional, functional, psychosocial, or communicative status as they occur.
