This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, no Care Plan was developed upon
admission related to bathroom transfers for 1 of
1 sample residents (1) who could not walk and
had no standing balance. As a result, staff did
not protect Resident 1 during a transfer that
resulted in a right tibia fracture (lower leg
broken bone) and an abrasion (skin scrape).
Findings:
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
9/29/16, with diagnoses that included a right
ankle stress fracture, lack of coordination and
abnormalities of gait and mobility per the
Resident Face Sheet. Resident 1 was
readmitted to the facility on 6/25/17, with
diagnoses that included a urinary tract
infection, lack of coordination and delirium
(disturbance of the brain), per the revised
Resident Face Sheet.
On 7/3/17 at 8:47A.M., the local hospital
Emergency Physician Documentation
documented Resident 1 fell on both knees at
facility while being assisted to stand, on 7/2/17.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to notify the physician
for orders upon return from the Emergency
Department (ED) for treatment for a right
fractured tibia (broken lower leg bone) and
abrasion (skin scape) for 1 of 1 sample
residents (1). As a result, there were no orders
to treat Resident 1's leg fracture, immobilizer,
or abrasion (skin scrape).
Findings:
Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on
6/25/17, with diagnoses that included a urinary
tract infection, lack of coordination and delirium
(disturbance of the brain), per the Resident
Face Sheet.
On 7/10/17, medical record review indicated
Resident 1 fell on 7/2/17. Resident 1
complained of knee pain at 4:30 P.M. and
again at 8 P.M. X-rays were ordered and
obtained. The X-ray report indicated a right
tibia bone fracture and Resident 1 was sent to
the local hospital Emergency Department (ED)
for treatment on 7/3/17.
The Emergency Physician Documentation, on
7/3/17 at 8:47 A.M., recorded Resident 1 fell on
both knees at facility. The documentation
recorded an acute fracture of the right proximal

On 7/10/17 at 4 P.M., Resident 1 was sitting in
bed. A black immobilizer (fabric splint) with
Velcro straps was open to the air. On Resident
1's right leg, below the knee, was a 4" by 6"
dressing (bandage).
On 7/11/17 at 9:25 A.M., LN 2 said he opened
Resident 1's immobilizer straps every day for
twenty minutes. LN 2 said he just noticed
Resident 1's dressing the prior day and he
changed the dressing because of drainage. On
7/11/17, LN 2 removed 4" by 6" dressing
stained with nickel sized bloody drainage. The
moist bright red abrasion was approximately
the size of a quarter. There was approximately
two inches of reddened skin around the
abrasion.
On 7/11/17 at 11:15 A.M., LN 2 said he
measured the right leg abrasion to be 2 cm by
2.5 cm, on 7/10/17, but didn't document it. LN
2 said he didn't notify the physician for orders
for Resident 1's fractured leg, abrasion, or
immobilizer. LN 2 said he failed to tell the
charge nurse. LN 2 said he knew there were
no physician orders for fracture, immobilizer, or
abrasion care.
On 7/12/17 at 7:30 A.M., the DON
acknowledged the facility failed to notify the
attending physician upon Resident 1's return
from the Emergency Department (ED) following
the fall, on 7/2/17, for orders for a right
fractured tibia, immobilizer, and abrasion care.

Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility staff failed to protect 1 of 1
sampled residents (1) during a toilet to a
wheelchair transfer. As a result, Resident 1 fell
and experienced pain and discomfort from an
acute right non-displaced tibia fracture (aligned
broken bone in the lower leg). In addition,
Resident 1 did not see a physician for
treatment of the fracture until the following day.
Findings:
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
9/29/16 and 6/25/17, with diagnoses that
included a urinary tract infection, lack of
coordination, and history of right ankle stress
fracture (small crack found in weight bearing
bones), per the Resident Face Sheets.
Medical record review of Resident 1's
Emergency Physician Documentation, on
7/3/17 at 8:47 A.M., Resident 1 fell on both
knees at facility. The Emergency Physician
Documentation recorded an acute (new)
fracture of the right proximal tibia (part of leg
bone nearest the knee) with an abrasion below
the right knee.
On 7/11/17, the medical record review
indicated Resident 1 scored 15 out of 15 points
on the Brief Interview for Mental Status
assessment, dated 4/13/17. This meant
Resident 1 was alert, oriented to make
decisions.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, on
4/13/17, indicated Resident 1 did not walk and
required the assistance of one person for all
transfers, which triggered a care plan.
Resident 1's balance was not steady and
required staff to stabilizer her when moved on

triggered (alerted facility to create) a care plan.
A review of Resident 1's Care Plans failed to
find a care plan for her individual
transfer/support needs from toilet to
wheelchair.
The Physical Therapy Evaluation Summary,
completed on 6/28/17, indicated Resident 1
was unable to walk and required 75 % physical
assistance.
The Occupational Therapy Evaluation
Summary completed on 6/28/17, indicated
Resident 1 was 100% dependent for toilet
transfers. Resident 1 could not stand or step
without loss of balance.
On 7/10/17 at 4:10 P.M., Resident 1 was
observed sitting in bed. A leg immobilizer (light
weight splint) was on her right leg. Resident 1's
right lower leg had discolored bruising from
knee to ankle.
On 7/10/17 at 4:10 P.M., Resident 1 said, on
7/2/17, she put the bathroom call light for staff
assistance with personal hygiene after using
the toilet. Per Resident 1, CNA 1 came to help.
Resident 1 said she told CNA 1 she "couldn't
stand," but CNA 1 "had me stand." Resident 1
said CNA 1 lifted her into a standing position
but "couldn't support me." Resident 1 said she
fell and "fractured my knee." Resident 1 said
the wheelchair and bathroom grab bars were
too far to reach. Resident 1 said her wheelchair
wasn't next to the toilet, motioning with her
hands the distance was 14 to 16 inches away.
Resident 1 said this fracture had caused her
pain and numbness in her right leg, especially
upon moving or turning in bed. Resident 1 said
CNA 1 didn't use a gait belt (strap used used
as a belt by caregivers in transfers) to help lift

On 7/12/17 at 6:07 A.M., in an interview, CNA 1
said she saw Resident 1's bathroom call light
"around 4:30 P.M." CNA 1 said she assisted
Resident 1 to stand up from the toilet and step
forward towards the opposite wall grab bars.
CNA 1 said she didn't use a gait belt because
Resident 1 didn't need that kind of help. CNA 1
said she cleaned Resident 1 and applied a new
brief and then Resident 1's knees gave out.
CNA 1 denied Resident 1 fell to the floor. CNA
1 said CNA 2 heard her cries for help and
assisted her to get Resident 1 back to bed.
CNA 1 said she reported this to the nurses (LN
1 and LN 2) immediately.
On 7/13/17 at 3:50 P.M., the DON provided
CNA 1's written statement. It was dated, 7/2/17
at 4:30 P.M. and indicated, "As I was getting
[Resident 1] off the toilet she stand up and she
was complaining her knees hurts and then
while I was helping her to the [wheel]chair her
knees give out."
On 9/5/17 at 1:30 P.M., CNA 2 said she was
familiar with Resident 1's care but wasn't
assigned to her, on 7/2/17. CNA 2 said she
took Resident 1 by wheelchair to the bathroom
toilet. CNA 2 said Resident 1 could not take
steps. CNA 2 said she parked Resident 1's
wheelchair next to the toilet and physically lifted
Resident 1 to stand and turn to sit on the toilet.
CNA 2 said she placed the red bathroom call
light in Resident 1's hand and told her to pull it
when she was finished.
CNA 2 said she was in the hallway and heard
Resident 1's roommate crying out. CNA 2 said
she entered the bathroom and saw CNA 1
there and Resident 1 was on her knees in front
of the toilet. CNA 2 said Resident 1 complained
her right leg was hurt and numb. CNA 2 said
