Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
On 07/18/24 at 1:48 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). The
NHA said, I conducted an investigation. I observed her bed which was the door bed. She had two little
impressions or skin tears that looked like an equals (=) sign. I noticed a small amount of blood on the wheel
of her wheelchair, larger than a nickel. The blood was by the connection of the wheelchair and the footrest. I
saw a skid mark from the shoe, a sneaker on the floor. The bed was moved like she had slid from the bed.
The fall was not witnessed. No one saw her on the floor, and no one put her back to bed. From history, she
has poor safety awareness. We had educated her to use the call light. She preferred to be independent.
She had been rounded on within the hour and throughout the shift. The NHA stated she did not report the
injury because they had conducted a risk assessment and determined the injury came from a fall that was
not witnessed. The NHA stated she was not speculating but had analyzed based on furniture placement
and a small amount of blood on the wheelchair. She stated she did not consider the injury to be from a
different source or the possibility someone with a different object could have struck the resident. She
confirmed there was no one in the room when the injury occurred. She confirmed the resident was not
observed on the floor. The resident was found on her bed, leaning to her side. The NHA stated she had
conducted her own analysis of the situation and determined the cause of injury was unwitnessed fall.

injury or risk thereof. Under procedure (4.) The facility Risk Manager or designee must notify the
