§483.25(d) Accidents.
The facility must ensure that §483.25(d)(1) The resident environment
remains as free of accident hazards as is
possible; and
§483.25(d)(2)Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary care and services to ensure
adequate assistance and supervision were in
place to prevent a fall for one of two sampled
residents (Resident 1), which resulted in major
injuries requiring hospitalization.
* Resident 1 was inappropriately transferred to
a shower chair by two CNAs (CNAs 1 and 2).
Resident 1 was not capable of holding himself
upright and had never been transferred to a
shower chair before. Resident 1 was not
provided physical assistance to prevent him
from falling forward onto the floor and landing
on his face. As a result of the fall, Resident 1
sustained blunt force facial trauma, including a
dislocated jaw and fractures to the nose,
requiring admission to the acute care hospital

to care for Resident 1 on 10/2/19. CNA 1
stated Resident 1's hair was long, dirty and had
flakes and she wanted to cut it. CNA 1 stated
she asked Resident 1 if she could give him a
haircut and Resident 1 nodded yes. CNA 1
stated she asked CNA 2 to help her cut
Resident 1's hair and transfer him from the bed
to the shower chair. CNA 1 stated she and
CNA 2 used a Hoyer lift (mechanical lift) to
transfer Resident 1 from his bed to the shower
chair. CNA 1 stated neither she or CNA 2
consulted with a respiratory therapist or a
licensed nurse about transferring Resident 1 to
a shower chair. When asked if the shower
chair had any type of device to prevent
Resident 1 from leaning forward, CNA 1 said
no. CNA 1 stated she stood in front of
Resident 1 to prevent him from leaning forward
while CNA 2 cut the resident's hair. CNA 1
stated when they were done cutting Resident
1's hair, CNA 2 was paged from the overhead
speakers to assist another resident in another
room. CNA 2 left Resident 1's room, leaving
CNA 1 alone with Resident 1 who was still
sitting on the shower chair. CNA 1 stated she
noticed a kink in Resident 1's urinary drainage
bag tubing and decided to lean down to the
side of the chair and fix the kink, which left
Resident 1 unsupported in the shower chair.
CNA 1 stated while she was bent over fixing
the urinary drainage tubing, Resident 1 fell
forward hitting his face on the floor. CNA 1
stated she yelled for help and a few staff
members including two licensed nurses came
to assess Resident 1. CNA 1 stated she
observed Resident 1 bleeding from his nose
and mouth. CNA 1 stated she had never used
a shower chair to shower Resident 1, he was
always been placed on a shower gurney when
showered, which made it difficult to thoroughly
wash the resident's hair. CNA 1 stated, "It was
a bad decision to put him in a shower chair."

side with blood on his face and a few staff
members were attending to Resident 1.
b. Review of the facility's Investigation of

member interviewed was CNA 1. There was

this fall incident. The documentation failed to
address Resident 1's poor sitting balance and
that he had never been placed in a chair,
