Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the prevention of avoidable accidents
for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1, a resident who was at high risk for falls
and fully dependent upon staff for mobility while in bed, fell from his bed while being changed by Certified
Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1).
This failure resulted in Resident 1 to sustain a head injury which included a bleeding laceration to his right
eyebrow and a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the area between your brain and the thin tissues that
cover and protect it).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (contains medical and demographic information), the
record indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included cerebral palsy
(neurological disorder that causes permanent problems with movement, balance, and posture), parkinson's
disease (a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement), disorders of bone density and
structure (medical conditions that affect the strength and composition of bones which can significantly
impact bone structure and increase fracture risk), and epilepsy (a brain disorder that causes recurring,
unprovoked seizures).
During an interview on November 4, 2024, at 3:25 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
on October 18, 2024, Resident 1 fell off his bed when CNA 1, who was a contracted registry staff member
(an employee provided by a contracted staffing agency), turned the resident away from her (rolled the
resident towards the opposite side of the bed from which the CNA was standing) when cleaning up the
resident's bowel movement.
During a continued interview on November 4, 2024, at 3:35 PM, with the DON, the DON stated CNA 1
should have had another staff member assist with turning the resident in bed since the resident had
contractures (permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints
to shorten and become very stiff). The DON further stated as a result of the fall, Resident 1 sustained an
abrasion to his right eyebrow and was subsequently sent to the hospital where it was identified that the
resident also had a subarachnoid hematoma.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a computerized resident
assessment tool), dated October 18, 2024, the MDS assessment indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview
for Mental Status (BIMS - a tool used to screen and identify the cognitive condition of residents upon
admission into a long-term care facility) score of 1 (score of 0-7 is severe cognitive impairment).
