had to beg the facility to send her to the hospital after her fall. He stated his mother was not supposed to be
out of bed and needed oxygen. Resident #1's son stated his mother told him that the night before she fell,
staff had her in the wheelchair in the hallway since 11:30 PM. He recounted his mother told him staff took
her to the 100 hall, when she felt dizzy and asked to be taken back to her room, but her request was
ignored. Resident #1's son shared that his mother had been diagnosed with heart failure earlier in the year,
so she needed oxygen and had become weaker. He mentioned she no longer had the energy to get in the
wheelchair by herself and depended more and more on staff to assist her. He recalled when he and his
sister got to the facility on 9/06/24 they found their mother still sitting in a wheelchair with a bandage on her
nose. He stated after the fall, she was not immediately taken back to her room and had not been wearing
the oxygen. He described her body had, bruises all over, and he learned at the hospital she had sustained
hematomas (bruises) on her face, two fractures on her nose and one fracture on her spine. Resident #1's
son indicated her death certificate included blunt force trauma to her face and head. He felt if she needed
more attention, Why did they not call hospice? They were probably busy or short staffed. He stated after the
fall he was told the facility was waiting for an X-ray to be done. He explained, At the end, she suffered a lot.
The hospital could not perform surgery, and she was in a lot of pain. He stated he called the hospice and
was told the facility could have sent his mother to the hospital after the fall. He stated he felt the facility
failed to provide basic standard care to his mother. He said, This did not have to happen, it was negligence.
Why did she fall? Why did they not call her family? They would have come to the facility.
On 9/25/24 at 11:33 AM, during a telephone interview, resident #1's daughter stated she came on 8/26/24
from out of state to spend time with her mom who had been a resident of the facility for many years. She
went to the facility every day starting on 8/27/24. She noted due to her heart failure her mother needed
oxygen, became weaker, and spent more time in bed. She mentioned resident #1 was pretty frail because
of her age but was not in a state of dying. She recalled when she left the faciity on 9/05/24 at approximately
4:30 PM, her mother was in bed taking a nap. She shared the hospice nurse had visited earlier that day,
and her mother was, a little restless and uncomfortable. The hospice nurse mentioned a medication would
be given to help her relax, especially to sleep at night. She stated when the nurse called her later that
evening, she asked if her mother had received the medication to help her relax but was told it had not
arrived. She stated she did not hear from the facility again until the morning after her mother had fallen. She
recalled when she arrived at the facility and saw her mom, she never expected to see what she saw, her
mother was, sitting in a wheelchair by the nurses station, slumped down, and in pain, with a little blanket

the nose, with no oxygen, and the nurse working on the computer. She stated she was very shocked and
asked the nurse, why her mother was still sitting in the wheelchair and not in her bed? She explained at this
point resident #1 was taken to her room. She stated the nurse, and another staff member transferred her
mom to her bed and then placed the nasal cannula with oxygen on over her bloody nose. She mentioned
the facility called the hospice nurse, but no one did anything else. She recalled she saw, blood on the
dressing and her face was all bruised. Resident #1's daughter stated her mom complained of pain, was
whining and crying like it hurt. She stated at that moment her mother could not explain anything because
she was in so much pain, so she asked the nurse if she had received pain medication. The nurse told her
they had not given her mother anything for her pain. She stated, then the nurse gave her some Tylenol, but
she noticed it did not work for her. She said, She (her mother) was still whining, complaining it still hurt,
groaning, not wanting to be touched, you could see the pain in her body and her face. She stated she
asked the nurse why she was not sent to the hospital and the answer was they needed to call the hospice
nurse first. She stated when the hospice nurse evaluated her mom, She said that was a broken nose for
sure. She stated she asked again if her mother was going to be sent to the hospital and was told no
because they had ordered an X-ray. She mentioned she agreed to the X-ray but told the nurse her mother
needed to be evaluated at the hospital. She indicated she waited for the X-ray to happen, but it never did.
She shared resident #1 did not get any pain medication after the morning dose of Tylenol. She stated that
her mother continued to sleeping on and off but would awaken with, a lot of whining and crying in pain. She
recounted that her brother had left the facility for a little while and when he returned later around 4:00 PM
he was surprised nothing had been done and their mom was still in a lot of pain. She stated at that time he
asked several staff to explain what was going on and insisted she be sent to the hospital. She said, He had
to insist a lot because they were not even cooperating to speak with him. She recalled when paramedics
came, they asked staff why it took so long after the fall to be called because they could see there was
damage. She explained once in the hospital, It was very traumatic to hear the news. She recounted the
neurosurgeon told them her mother had two fractures on her nose, one fracture on the bone of her nose
and another one on the sternum of her nose, a concussion on her forehead, two hematomas on the
forehead, and a fracture of her spine. She explained the neurosurgeon told them the treatment plan would
have been surgery but at her age, they could not do anything for her. She said staff at the hospital
explained to her, This injury hurt her more than they could do, so they could not help her.
On 9/24/24 at 6:09 AM, assigned CNA A explained she learned during change of shift report at 11:00 PM
resident #1 had been confused. She recalled resident #1 refused to stay in bed, and Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) C wanted to prevent a fall so she placed resident #1 in the wheelchair. She stated they had a
busy night and resident #1 refused to stay in bed or the wheelchair. She recalled resident #1 tried to get up
from the chair, but she could not transfer by herself. CNA A explained LPN C asked her to stay with resident
#1 while she passed medications. She recounted she was doing one-to-one supervision with another
resident on the 100 unit while she also took care of other residents and kept an eye on resident #1 who
was in the wheelchair because there were not enough staff to watch her in her room. She indicated that
even though the wheelchair was locked and would not move, she could not reach resident #1 at the
wheelchair in time. CNA A conveyed when resident #1 attempted to get up and walk on her own, she fell
face forward and hit her head. CNA A stated, I did my best, it's not my fault. She then stated resident #1
was left in her wheelchair because, If she was in bed they would need to keep watching her there.
On 9/24/24 at 1:41 PM, during a telephone interview, LPN C confirmed she was assigned to resident #1
when she fell. She stated she had taken

care of resident #1 before, knew she was weak, and all ADL care was performed in bed. She explained
when she started her shift that night resident #1 was trying to get out of bed and CNA A called her. She
indicated she was told during report resident #1 received Ativan earlier because she was, very anxious,
trying to get out of bed. She stated LPN B had told her she pulled Ativan from the emergency kit, and she
called to ask resident #1's daughter to come to the facility and help calm her down but she responded she
would come in the next day. LPN C stated she put resident #1 in her wheelchair and kept it next to her all
night. She recalled during the shift resident #1 kept talking in Spanish but there were no Spanish speaking
staff on the unit, so she took resident #1 to the 200-unit and asked a Spanish speaking nurse to talk to her.
LPN C indicated the nurse told her resident #1 was not making sense so she requested another Ativan
from the emergency kit. She recalled in the morning, when it was time for her medication pass, resident
#1's CNA was doing a one- to-one with another resident on the 100-unit, so she asked her to take resident
#1 with her which she did. She explained one of the nurses from the 100-unit called her later and told her
resident #1 fell. She stated she went to the 100-unit and saw resident #1 on the floor, lying on her left side,
and there was blood. She indicated she assessed resident #1 and noted a small tear on her nose, and she
applied pressure to it. She stated she assessed for pain but resident #1 kept on, crying, crying, and crying.
She indicated resident #1 was speaking in Spanish, but I could not understand what she said, she was in
pain because of the fall, and she had blood everywhere. She stated it took three staff to move her and sit
her back up in the wheelchair. She stated CNA A explained to her she had resident #1 by the door of the
room she was assigned one-to-one supervision with, when she saw resident #1 get out of her chair and fall
but she could not reach her in time because she was not close enough to her. LPN C stated, There was
nobody there to sit with the resident after she fell so she had remained next to me in the wheelchair. She
stated she called hospice to report the fall and was told they would come in to follow up. She stated she did
not get an order to send resident #1 to the hospital because she only saw bleeding on her nose and the
bleeding stopped. She could not recall if she gave resident #1 any pain medication after the fall. When
asked why she did not call hospice or the physician before resident #1 fell to report her change in condition,
LPN C stated the nurse before her, had already done a change in condition and had called hospice and
everybody. Being the night shift, I was waiting for the morning to report the resident's behavior. She stated
LPN B wrote a progress note and mentioned during shift change report she had contacted everybody, and
resident #1's family was coming in the morning. She explained resident #1 cried on and off, fidgeting
throughout the night and she had never seen her behave that way before. She indicated when resident #1's
family came in, they took her back to her room. In another telephone interview on 9/25/24 at 4:03 PM, LPN
C stated she did not recall if resident #1 complained of pain, but said she was crying on and off. She
recalled she had given her Tylenol and Ativan earlier at 1:30 AM. She stated resident #1 was fidgety in the
chair and crying on and off. She said after the fall, It was not time to give Tylenol again, so I did not give her
Tylenol.
On 9/25/24 at 9:58 AM, CNA E stated she worked the 7 AM to 3 PM shift on 9/06/24. She recalled resident
#1 was in her wheelchair in the dining area of the 300-unit and a CNA from the 11 PM to 7 AM shift was
sitting next to her. She indicated she went to them to greet the resident and noticed she had a bandage on
her nose. She remembered asking the CNA what happened and was told resident #1 was very anxious
during the night, got up and fell. CNA E detailed resident #1's facial expression showed pain, and she was
uncomfortable because she kept placing her hands on her head. She stated she asked resident #1 in
Spanish if she was in pain but resident #1 would only touch her face and head and moved it side to side.
On 9/25/24 at 1:48 PM, CNA F stated she worked a double

shift on 9/05/24, from 7 AM to 11 PM and was assigned to resident #1. She noticed resident #1 was really
confused and started getting agitated that day. She recalled resident #1's daughter visited, and both tied to
calm resident #1 and made her comfortable in the bed. She stated later at night resident #1 tried to get out
of bed, she saw her legs out of bed, and she said something in Spanish, she seemed anxious. She recalled
before the daughter left the facility, she had mentioned resident #1 had a new order in case resident was
anxious and she informed the nurse. She stated the nurse had a CNA sit in the room with resident #1 and
she was in bed, sleeping, when she left for the night. She recalled when she returned to work at 7 AM on
9/06/24, she saw resident #1 sitting in the wheelchair with the 11 PM to 7 AM CNA in the dining area. She
stated resident #1's face was bloody, and LPN D was trying to apply ice to her nose. She indicated resident
#1 had a dressing or tissue on her nose, resident #1 was holding her nose, and she could see blood. She
stated resident #1 was complaining of pain. CNA F said, You could hear her say, ay, ay, just ay, ay but she
was not crying. She stated throughout the day she checked on the resident and she heard resident #1 say,
ay, ay and make noises. She stated she knew resident #1 was in pain.
On 9/25/24 at 2:43 PM, during a telephone interview, LPN B stated she worked the 3 PM to 11 PM shift on
9/05/24 and was told by resident #1's daughter she had requested, something for the anxiety because her
mother was getting anxious at night. She explained later that night, resident #1 became agitated, confused,
and tried to get out of bed so she implemented a staff one-to-one intervention. She stated she called the
pharmacy to expedite her medication request because resident #1 was agitated, but did not document at
the time she administered the medication, because so much was going on. She stated during shift change
report at 11 PM, she told the oncoming nurse resident #1's next dose of Ativan should be at around 1:00
AM and to have it ready to go due to resident #1's behaviors. She clarified that the time documented in the
Medication Administration Record (MAR) was not when the medication was given because, It was so
hectic. LPN B recalled she called the family per resident #1's request and spoke with her daughter. She
explained she did not call hospice or the physician because she did not think it was needed. She recalled
resident #1 eventually fell asleep and was still sleeping when she gave report to the oncoming nurse at
11:00 PM. She indicated she returned to work the next day at 3:00 PM on 9/06/24 and resident #1's
daughter was at her bedside and shared what happened that day. She recalled resident #1 had bruising to
her face, on the bridge of the nose, one of her fingers was swollen and it appeared it might have been
broken. She stated resident #1's family said they were waiting on an X-ray, but LPN D had not gotten report
yet. LPN B shared that the previous shift was late with resident #1's medications and she did not get the
medication cart keys until approximately 4:30 PM to 5 PM. LPN B stated she found out the X-ray was not
done yet and asked LPN D why resident #1 was not sent to the hospital earlier but did not get a response.
She indicated she asked about the X-ray and LPN D's response was she had not seen the X-ray people
yet. LPN B recalled she had the same concerns as resident #1's son, who was visibly upset. She
mentioned she was baffled as to why resident #1 had not been sent to the hospital. She stated the son
spoke with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the decision to send resident #1 to the hospital was made.
She recalled she obtained resident #1's vital signs and noted her blood pressure was a little bit elevated.
She stated resident #1 had expressed pain and, you could visibly see it; you could see she was in pain
which would explain why her blood pressure was elevated. She said, The family could see that as well. I
would have sent the resident to the hospital. I would be upset as well. They did not want to wait anymore for
the X-ray.
Review of a pharmacy report for the automated dispensing machine showed Ativan 0.5 mg was removed
twice for resident #1 on 9/05/24 at 9:00 PM and again on 9/06/24 at 1:21 AM.

interview, LPN D stated when she started her shift at 7:00 AM on 9/06/24, she noticed resident #1 was in a
wheelchair in the dining area with a CNA next to her, Not herself, lethargic, just sitting there, had a bloody
nose, swelling on her face. She indicated she asked what happened and inquired Are we sending her to the
hospital? She stated LPN C told her she called hospice and was told not to send her to the hospital
because they were coming to see her. She stated she gave resident #1 an ice pack to hold to her nose to
get the swelling down. LPN D stated she did not remember if she had been given pain medication, but
recalled resident #1 was in pain and gave her some Tylenol after report. She explained she was expected to
perform neurological checks, currently at the half hour mark. She stated after a fall neurological checks
were done every 15 minutes for one hour, every 30 minutes for two hours, every hour for four hours and
every eight hours. She said she could not keep up with the needed checks due to the care needed for other
residents including passing medications. She recalled the hospice nurse went over medication changes
and was there for at least a couple of hours but did not send resident #1 out to the hospital. She mentioned
she was going by the plan of care from hospice. She explained there was miscommunication with the DON
regarding the X-ray order. She mentioned she thought the DON told her she had to enter the X-ray order in
the medical record. She stated when she saw the order was already in the medical record, she thought it
was taken care of. She mentioned the DON had sent her a text instructing her to call the portable
diagnostic services and order the X-ray, but did not see the message until later, so it was never completed.
LPN D explained she was, Just busy, trying to do everything I had to and it was not until she sat down
between 3:30-4:00 PM that she realized the X-ray was never done. She indicated resident #1's son was
upset and went straight to speak with the DON and requested his mother be sent to the hospital.
Review of a progress note dated 9/06/24 entered at 5:46 PM, by the DON, effective 10:42 AM, revealed
she spoke with resident #1's daughter who was upset the resident was out of bed and fell earlier that
morning. The DON explained the reason resident #1 was up in the wheelchair was because, She was very
anxious/agitated, and attempted to get out of bed. The note mentioned the DON, advised daughter that we
cannot restrain a resident in a bed or chair so a fall is possible and that she may attempt to get out of bed
again . Daughter asked how to prevent resident from falling and again writer advised we could not prevent
her as we are not able to be right next to the resident 24/7. Writer suggested to the daughter about looking
into getting a private companion to stay with resident in hopes of preventing a future fall . The daughter
expressed concerns about the bruising to resident's nose and writer advised writer would obtain an order
for x ray to rule out any injury.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for September 2024 revealed resident #1 received
Ativan 0.5 mg on 9/05/24 at 11:58 PM. Tylenol 325 mg 2-tabs was given on 9/05/24 at 5:44 AM, for a pain
level of 5 and on 9/06/24 at 1:28 AM for a pain level of 7. Norco 5-325 was not given, and the first dose was
scheduled for 6:00 PM on 9/06/24. Resident #1 received 2 doses of Gabapentin on 9/06/24 at 3:49 AM and
at 11:17 AM. A Lidoderm patch was administered on 9/06/24 at 8:04 AM. There was no evidence in the
MAR that Tylenol or other PRN pain medication or Ativan for anxiety were administered after resident #1's
fall.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain sufficient nursing staff to provide the necessary
care and services for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for falls, of a total sample of 9 residents, (#1).
Findings:
Cross Reference F684
Review of resident #1's medical record revealed she was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
re-admitted on [DATE] from an acute short-term hospital. Her diagnoses included heart failure, type 2
diabetes, neuropathy, anxiety, and anemia.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment with Assessment Reference Date of 8/02/24
revealed resident #1's Brief Interview for Mental Status score was 11 out of 15 which indicated moderate
cognitive impairment. The MDS assessment noted no behaviors or rejection of evaluation or care
necessary to obtain goals for health and well-being. The assessment showed her hearing was highly
impaired and she needed set up or supervision assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADLs).
Review of a progress note dated 9/06/24 at 1:30 AM, revealed resident #1 was, very anxious and crying,
trying to get off bed. The note indicated resident #1 told staff she wanted to go home to her daughter and
was assisted to a wheelchair. The document detailed a Spanish speaking nurse told the resident it was
night time and her daughter would visit her in the morning. The note revealed the anti-anxiety medication
Ativan 0.5 mg was administered at that time along with pain medication, and one to one supervision was
initiated at that time.
Review of a progress note dated 9/06/24, effective 5:00 AM, (late entry at 8:04 AM), read, Medication for
anxiety and pain administered were ineffective, [resident] continues to be agitated and crying on and off.
The nurse documented she needed to pass medications on the 300 unit, so she asked resident #1's
assigned Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A to take resident #1 with her to the 100 unit to watch her and
another resident that the CNA was already assigned one-to-one with. The note detailed that while the CNA
watched both residents, resident #1 got out of her wheelchair and fell sustaining a skin tear to her nose.
Review of a progress note dated 9/06/24 effective 10:42 AM, late entry at 5:46 PM, by the Director of
Nursing (DON), revealed she spoke with resident #1's daughter who was upset the resident was out of bed
and fell earlier that morning. The DON's note explained the reason resident #1 was up in the wheelchair
was because, She was very anxious/agitated and continued to attempt to get out of bed. The note detailed
that resident #1's daughter asked how they would prevent her mother from falling and the DON noted she
advised her the facility could not prevent resident #1 from falling as staff were not able to be right next to
her all the time. The DON's note indicated she suggested to the daughter to look into paying a private
companion to stay with her mother to prevent a possible future fall.
On 9/24/24 at 12:17 PM, during a telephone interview, resident #1's son stated his mother had reported to
him when she used the call light at night, staff did not come to help her. He explained she

was getting weaker and depended on staff for her ADLs. He indicated he signed up with hospice services in
order to get more help for his mom. He stated he had understood she was not supposed to be out of bed
due to her condition. Resident #1's son recalled when he arrived at the facility after his mother's fall, she
was not in her room but was still sitting in the wheelchair until he requested she be taken back to bed. He
recounted, the facility seemed short staffed but did not understand why staff did not call the family or
hospice if they needed more help with his mom. He said, This did not have to happen. Why did she fall?
Why did they not call us? We would have come to the facility.
On 9/25/24 at 11:33 AM, during a telephone interview, resident #1's daughter shared the hospice nurse
had visited her mother on 9/05/24 and noticed her mother was, a little restless and uncomfortable. She
recalled the hospice nurse mentioned that staff could give her mother a medication to help her mother
relax, especially to sleep at night. She indicated the facility nurse called her later that evening, between
10:00 and 10:30 PM, and said resident #1 asked her to call because she was missing her. She stated she
asked the nurse if she had received the medication to help her relax and the nurse told her it had not
arrived yet. She indicated she told the nurse to call her if her mother asked for her again and she could
come to the facility, but she did not hear from them again until the morning after her mother fell. She
recalled when she arrived at the facility, she saw her mother in a wheelchair by the nurses station, she was,
slumped down, and in pain, with a little blanket over her and a little band aid over the nose, with no oxygen,
and the nurse working on the computer. She stated she was very shocked and asked the nurse, why her
mother was still sitting in the wheelchair by the nurse's station instead of in bed in her room.
On 9/24/24 at 6:09 AM, CNA A validated she was assigned to resident #1 when she fell. She explained she
learned during change of shift report that resident #1 had been confused and refused to stay in bed.
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C wanted to prevent a fall so she had resident #1 up out of bed and put into
her wheelchair. She stated it was a busy night and resident #1 refused to stay in bed or the wheelchair. She
stated LPN C asked her to supervise resident #1 while she passed medications. She explained she was
already doing a one-to-one supervision with a resident in the 100 unit as well of taking care of the other
residents on her assignment. She was asked to also supervise resident #1 who was in the wheelchair
instead of her bed because, There was no one else who could stay with [resident #1] that night, to watch
her. CNA A added, The 100 unit was short, and too many people were fall risks. There were too many
people on the 100 unit refusing to stay in bed or chair, they needed staff to watch them, that is why no one
else could take care of [resident #1]. She indicated that even though the wheelchair was locked, she could
not get to resident #1 in time, and she fell face forward and hit her head. She stated after the fall, resident
#1 was left in the wheelchair because they did not have any staff who could watch her when she was in
bed.
On 9/24/24 at 1:41 PM, in a telephone interview, resident #1's assigned LPN C explained she put resident
#1 in her wheelchair that night so she could keep her next to her while she worked. LPN C stated, There
was nobody there to sit with the resident after she fell so she had to remain next to me in the wheelchair.
On 9/25/24 at 2:43 PM, during a telephone interview, LPN B stated she worked the 3 PM to 11 PM shift on
9/05/24. She indicated resident #1 became agitated, confused, and tried to get out of bed so she
implemented a one-to-one supervision intervention. She explained she tried to get medication ordered by
the physician for anxiety, but it was not available. She stated she called the pharmacy to expedite her
request because resident #1 was agitated, but confirmed she did not document the time she actually
administered the medication accurately, because so much was going on.

On 9/25/24 at 3:33 PM, in a telephone interview, LPN D stated she was assigned to resident #1 on 9/06/24
from 7 AM to 3 PM. She indicated she was expected to perform neurological checks after the fall because
resident #1 had hit her head. She explained neuro checks were to be performed every 15 minutes for one
hour, every 30 minutes for two hours, every hour for four hours and then every eight hours. LPN D
explained not all of the neurological checks were completed, I tried to keep up with her. I can honestly tell
you I could not be there every hour on the hour because of other [medications] and things I had to do. I was
giving some [medications], returning to see her, then went out to give other [medications]. LPN D said she
was, Just busy, trying to do everything I had to, and it was not until she sat down between 3:30-4:00 PM

STAT (immediately or right away) entered at 11:19 AM on 9/06/24.
On 9/24/24 at 4:30 PM, during review of the video footage from the incident, the DON stated the one-to-one
intervention obviously did not work. She indicated resident #1 was in the wheelchair starting around 1:30
AM. She described one-to-one supervision meant a staff member stayed with a resident to watch them and
could not explain why CNA A was expected to perform one-to-one supervision with two different residents
that morning. She mentioned she had not been contacted regarding the change in resident #1's condition
and indicated her expectation was nurses notified her, the Risk Manager or the Unit Manager for any
changes in condition.
On 9/25/24 at 8:55 AM, the DON explained she entered the order for the X-ray and sent a message to the
nurse to call it in. She indicated she later learned LPN D did not call to place the X-ray order. The DON
stated when she asked the nurse why the order was not followed up on, the nurse could not give her a
reason.
Review of the Facility Assessment reviewed by the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement
Committee on 8/08/24 read, Residents' needs are constantly evaluated to ensure we have the appropriate
personnel, equipment and clinical resources to provide care. At any moment, if a resident should develop a
condition, disease or requires a treatment that is no part of the services we are able to provide, the resident
will be transferred to the appropriate level of care. The document indicated staffing needs were evaluated at
the beginning of each shift and, adjusted as needed to meet the care needs and acuity of the resident
population.

more attention the night she fell. He recalled when he arrived at the facility after her fall, he found her still
sitting in her wheelchair at the nurse's station and without the oxygen she needed. He queried why the
facility staff did not call hospice for help. He explained he had signed his mother up for hospice to provide
additional resources to care for her.
In telephone interviews on 9/24/24 at 1:41 PM, and on 9/25/24 at 4:03 PM, resident #1's assigned Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) C confirmed recounted resident #1 was with her all night and took her everywhere
she went. She stated resident #1 was fidgety in the chair and cried on and off. She explained she decided
to wait until morning to call hospice and report resident #1's behavior since it was night shift and thought
the previous nurse had called them.
Review of the medical record revealed no documentation that hospice was contacted regarding resident
#1's change in condition on 9/05/24.
On 9/25/24 at 2:43 PM, in a telephone interview, LPN B stated she worked the evening shift on 9/05/24 and
was told by resident #1's daughter she had requested, something for the anxiety because her mother was
getting anxious at night. She recounted she found this request odd because she had never seen resident
#1 with behavior like that before. She indicated later that night, resident #1 became agitated, confused, and
tried to get out of bed repeatedly, so she implemented a one-to-one supervision intervention. LPN B
explained she had to contact the pharmacy three times that night to get authorization to remove Ativan and
had to ask the pharmacy to expedite the request because resident #1 was agitated. She recalled she
administered the anti-anxiety medication as prescribed but documented the incorrect time. She stated she
never called hospice or the physician to report resident #1's change in condition because, I did not think it
was needed.
On 9/26/24 at 9:34 AM, during a telephone interview, the Hospice Manager G stated the hospice received a
message from the telecare services on 9/06/24 at 6:43 AM that resident #1 had a witnessed fall with a skin
tear on the nose. The message indicated resident #1 had a light nosebleed and had been up all night
restless. The Hospice Manager explained the message indicated the facility nurse was told a hospice nurse
would be sent and would call them with an estimated time of arrival. She indicated there were no other calls
from the facility regarding resident #1 during that night. She explained facility nurses could have called to
report resident #1's restlessness, and hospice could have checked the medications and suggest other
interventions at any time.
In a telephone interview on 9/26/24 at 10:14 AM, Hospice RN J explained he saw resident #1 on 9/05/24
and learned she had complained of pain and was getting anxious. He stated he obtained an order for the
anti-anxiety medication Ativan as needed and Gabapentin for pain. He stated he expected the
