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.

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 tibia (part of leg bone nearest the knee) with an abrasion below the right knee.

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.

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.

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.

OT 1 said the evaluation of the Resident 1's functional ability was made 5 days before her fall. OT 1 continued that Resident 1 could not maintain a standing balance and, when standing with support, could not take a step. OT 1 said this evaluation became part of Resident 1's record and was not reported to licensed staff. OT 1 said she taught one CNA at the bedside how to work with the resident. On 9/11/17 at 11 A.M., CNA 1's personnel file was reviewed with the DON. In orientation, on 11/11/16, CNA 1 watched a video on how to transfer residents.
