Residents Affected - Some No progress notes available related to Resident #1's fall on 06/21/23. No progress notes available related to Resident #1's fall on 06/24/23. Further review of Resident #1's medical record revealed Post Fall Evaluations were completed, as the nursing assessment of Resident #1 post fall for the dates of 05/21/23 and 06/02/23. There were no Post Fall Evaluations completed for Resident #1's additional falls on 06/19/23, 06/21/23 and 06/24/23. During an interview on 07/27/23 at 1:45 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the first step after a resident fall was to complete a post fall assessment. DON stated this assessment would be completed by a nurse in the medical record and list as the Post Fall Evaluation. The DON confirmed there were no Post Fall Evaluations completed for Resident #1's falls 06/18/23, 06/19/23 and 06/21/23 but neurochecks were initiated and completed for those dates. During an interview on 07/27/23 at 2:20 p.m. Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) stated, she was Hospice Board Certified and she could ensure she had in depth conversations with families when a resident was admitted to hospice services. ARNP stated, once a resident is placed on hospice, the resident was to never go to the hospital emergency department again. The ARNP stated, Resident # 9 had a fall yesterday 07/26/23. Resident #9 was sent out to the emergency room (ER) but should not have been. ARNP stated all Residents on Hospice should not have neurochecks because What is the point in doing the neurochecks if they are not going out to the ER. Neuro checks are pointless if we are not going to send them to the ER. ARNP stated, for example another resident, Resident #8, was terminally agitated and continued to fall out of bed. ARNP stated because Resident #8 was restless there was no sense in neurochecks, so I just heavily medicate him, so he is comfortable. ARNP stated, she remembered Resident #1's wife Was on board for everything, but the rest of the family was not. ARNP stated, a resident who is on hospice, We will just make them comfortable with medication, there is always tweaking of the medications. ARNP stated when a resident is on hospice, they are not to have neurochecks completed and even if a resident falls and had a fracture, I will order in house x-ray, but they will not and should not be sent the hospital, they will just be heavily medicated for the pain.
