Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure to meet the interests of and support the
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of one of three sample selected residents (Resident 1), when
Resident 1 was not able to be out of her bed due to Mechanical Lifting Device (MLD) sling (a flexible strap
or belt used in the form of a loop to support or raise a weight) not being available at the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in Resident 1 staying in her bed for two days and possibility of developing pressure
ulcer and mental health issues.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with multiple
diagnoses including multiple mclerosis (an autoimmune disease that has a potentially disabling disease of
the brain and spinal cord [central nervous system]).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment instrument used to identify
resident care problems to be addressed in an individualized care plan) section GG, indicated Resident 1
has impairment on upper and lower extremity on both sides.
A review of Resident 1's Care Plan for Activity of Daily Living (ADL, Activities needed for self-care and
mobility and include activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, ambulation, toileting, eating,
transferring, and communicating.) indicated, Resident 1 needed an MLD for transfer with two assists.
During an interview on 6/20/24 at 10:50 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated the facility did not have a
sling for the MLD and she was not able to be transfer from the bed to the chair for two days. She was
unhappy about the situation and wanted to be out of her room.
During an interview on 6/20/24 at 10:40 a.m. with the Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated the
facility did not have enough slings and Resident 1 had to stay in the bed for two days.
During an interview on 6/20/24 at 10:45 a.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated because of a lack of slings in the
facility, some residents had to stay in the bed for a long time.
During an interview on 6/20/24 at 11:30 with the Administrator (ADM), ADM stated that she was aware of
the lack of slings in the facility. ADM stated all residents who need slings should be able to have access to
one as needed.
