In addition to the freedom from abuse, neglect, and exploitation requirements in § 483.12, facilities must also provide training to their staff that at a minimum educates staff on(c)(1) Activities that constitute abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property as set forth at § 483.12. (c)(2) Procedures for reporting incidents of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or the misappropriation of resident property (c)(3) Dementia management and resident abuse prevention. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and facility records, the facility failed to ensure Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) E had a follow-up background screening when the background screening company identified a discrepancy with the employee's Social Security Number. In addition, the facility failed to ensure CNA E had proper documentation to continue working in the United States. This has the potential for allowing an employee to work illegally at the facility and places residents in risk of potential abuse. Findings: On 6/30/17 at 11:30 a.m. CNA E's employee file was reviewed.

In addition, CNA E's Permanent Resident Card (a card to show the employee was able to work in the United States legally) had expired on 5/19/14. No documentation was available to show the facility reconfirmed CNA E's Social Security Number, or obtained an updated Permanent Resident Card. During an interview on 6/30/17 at 11:30 a.m., the director of nurses and the director of saff development stated they were unaware CNA E's Resident Card had expired and of his background check requesting confirmation of CNA E's Social Security Card. They were unable to find documentation to show CNA E was notified of these findings. During an interview on 6/30/17 at 12:10 p.m., CNA E stated the facility never asked him for his Naturalization Papers.

Failure to have proper training resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a right hip fracture during a transfer on 6/14/17. Findings: Clinical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 6/30/17. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on 12/16, with diagnoses including right hemiparesis (weakness), status post right below the knee amputation. Review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS: an assessment tool) dated 3/23/17, indicated he had moderate cognitive impairment. In addition, Resident 1 was totally dependent for transfers from two staff members and had functional limitations to one arm and leg. Review of Resident 1's Weekly Progress Note dated 5/29/17 showed the resident was legally blind and required extensive assistance with his activities of daily living (ADL) care and total assistance with transfers. Review of Resident's 1 Investigation Report dated 6/23/17, showed during a transfer from the wheelchair to the bed, Resident 1 felt that his leg hit the bed frame, causing him pain. An interview with CNA E showed during the transfer, the resident's right prosthetic "leg did not fully turn with the rest of his body." On 6/30/17 at 10 a.m., an interview was conducted with RN A.

He stated Resident 1 required total assistance from two staff members for transfers. During an interview on 6/30/17 at 10:15 a.m., Resident 1 was interviewed with CNA B as an interpreter. Resident 1 was alert to name and place. He stated he hurt his right leg during a transfer from the wheelchair to the bed. Resident 1 stated CNA E placed the wheelchair on the right side of the bed with his head facing the wall (weaker side against the bed). He stated during the transfer, he was wearing his prosthetic leg and his right leg hit the bed frame. Resident 1 stated he was "screaming in pain" during the transfer. An observation of Resident 1's right stump showed a hard cast/splint in place with an ace wrap. No prosthetic leg was in place. During an interview on 6/30/17 at 11:15 a.m., Physical Therapists (PT) C and D stated the proper procedure to transfer a resident with right sided weakness is to place the wheelchair on the left side (stronger side). They stated Resident 1 required a two person maximum assistance for transfers. PT C and D stated they were unaware of the reason Resident 1 was transferred from the bed to his wheelchair with the wheelchair positioned on his right side (weaker). During an interview on 6/30/17 at 11:30 a.m., the director of nurses (DON) stated if a resident has hemiplegia, two staff members should transfer the resident with the resident's dominant side closest to the bed/chair. She was unable to explain the reason CNA E did not use proper transfer techniques during the transfer.

He stated he turned the wheelchair around so the resident was facing the wall and the resident's right side was against the bed. CNA E stated during the transfer the resident's prosthetic leg did not turn with him and the resident yelled out in pain. He stated he did not notify the nurse about Resident 1's pain because the pain subsided when the resident laid down in the bed. When CNA E was asked the reason he positioned Resident 1's weaker side against the bed, he stated because there was no room on the opposite side of the bed to position the wheelchair. Resident 1's right hip fracture was a direct result of one staff member performing an improper transfer of the resident from the wheelchair to the bed.

The facility must ensure that (1) The resident environment remains as free from accident hazards as is possible; and (2) Each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents. (n) - Bed Rails. The facility must attempt to use appropriate alternatives prior to installing a side or bed rail.

(3) Ensure that the bed’s dimensions are appropriate for the resident’s size and weight. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) was adequately assessed for proper transfer method to prevent injury. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) E failed to transfer Resident 1 safely from the wheelchair to the bed. Resident 1 was identified by the facility to require a two person transfer; however on 6/14/16 at approximately 4 p.m., CNA E attempted to transfer the resident by himself. He placed the wheelchair with Resident 1's weaker side against the bed. During the transfer Resident 1 yelled out in pain. CNA E noticed the prosthetic (artificial) leg did not pivot (turn) during the transfer. An X-ray was obtained on 6/17/17 that showed Resident 1 sustained a hip fracture. The failure of the facility to ensure staff were knowledgeable in proper transfer techniques was the direct cause of Resident 1's right hip fracture. Findings: Clinical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 6/30/17. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including right hemiparesis (weakness), and status post right below the knee amputation, requiring the use of a prosthetic leg.
