Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to follow facility's policies and procedures and meet
professional standards of quality for one of three sampled Residents (Resident 1), when staff did not
document Resident 1's change of condition and post fall assessment for unwitnessed fall with injury on
9/26/24.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in the inaccurate assessment of Resident 1 and had the potential for
falls and delay in care.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (a summary of information regarding a patient which
includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact
information and other pertinent information), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses for acute gastroenteropathy (Inflammation of the lining of the stomach and the
intestines), abnormalities of gait (walking) and mobility (movement), muscle weakness, encephalopathy
(damage or disease that affects the brain), diarrhea, history of falling, depression (condition that causes a
persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities), nausea, hyperlipidemia (high levels of fats in
the blood), Parkinson's disease (brain disorder that causes uncontrollable movements, such as shaking,
stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination), sleep apnea (disorder that causes your breathing to
stop or get very shallow), hypertension (condition in which the blood vessels have persistently raised
pressure), atherosclerotic heart disease (thickening or hardening of the arteries), gastro-esophageal reflux
disease (GERD- digestive disorder that occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus),
Barrett's esophagus (condition where the lining of the lower esophagus is damaged by stomach acid) and
benign prostatic hyperplasia (a noncancerous condition that causes the prostate gland to enlarge).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment tool used to identify
cognitive (mental processes) and physical functional level assessment] dated 10/2/24, the MDS indicated,
Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS screening tool used to assess resident cognitive level)
score was 12 out of 15 (0 - 7 indicated severe cognitive impairment [memory loss, poor decision making
skills] 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, (13 -15) cognitively intact) which indicated Resident 1 had
moderate cognitive impairment.
During a record review of Resident 1's Nursing Note dated 9/26/24, the nursing note indicated, .at 0235 the
writer was walking the hall to clock in after lunch the resident kneeling to floor near the door for asking for
phone the writer made him to sit on floor called for help by the time he hold the door to stand by himself
