During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on 09/26/2023 at 1:52 p.m., she said education
regarding controlled medications started on 09/15/23. Resident #6's Controlled Drug Use Record for
Morphine Solution was reviewed, she said the DON notified her on 09/25/23 of controlled substance

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and review of facility and resident's record, the facility did not ensure supervision was provided to
prevent a fall for 1 of 3 residents reviewed, Resident #3 and the facility did not ensure documentation and
follow up were completed after the fall.
Findings included:
Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include other intervertebral disc
degeneration Lumbar, Unspecified dementia, history of falling, primary insomnia, major depressive
disorder, and mood disorder.
Review of an annual MDS (Minimum Data Set) for Resident #3 dated 08/05/23 showed Resident #3 had a
BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 3, indicating severe impairment. Section G showed
Resident #3 required extensive assistance with two plus person's physical assistance for transfers. The
resident required extensive assistance with one-person physical assistance for locomotion on and off unit.
A care plan for Resident #3 initiated on 04/13/23 showed, the staff have identified that I am at risk for falls
because of these risk factors, dementia, gait/balance problems, incontinence, unaware of safety needs, use
of anti-psychotic medication, use of pain medication and history of falls. Interventions included, during
hurricane/disaster evacuation [Resident #3] will have special transportation versus regular bus with lifts. I
should have sneakers, shoes, slippers with rubber soles or non-slip socks when I'm out of bed.
Review of a document titled, [name of facility] incident list dated June 1, 2023, to September 25, 2023,
showed Resident #3 had a fall while off property on 08/28/23.
Review of Resident #3's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) showed there were no progress notes,
assessments or evaluations documented related to a fall on 8/28/23. The record did not show that Resident
#3's physician and family were notified of the fall.
On 09/26/23 at 12:57 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident #3. The resident was observed in her
room, lying in bed. She could not remember any details related to the fall. The resident's side of the bed
was noted with fall mats. The resident said, these are to keep me safe in case I fall.
On 09/26/23 at 1:18 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff J, Registered Nurse (RN). She stated she
worked with the resident the day she fell. She said, I was at the evacuation site when Staff S, LPN/ Unit

to both arms. Staff J stated the resident's left arm was wrapped with a small dressing. She stated she
applied steri strips, but no other treatment was given. Staff J said, I saw the resident during the 3 days. I
gave her medications. It was my fault I did not document. My Unit Manager (Staff S) had stated he would
submit a post fall assessment. I did not do any documentation. It was my fault I should have submitted a
post fall assessment. I did not do any skin checks and I did not notify the physician. I thought my Unit

(neurological) checks, and if the resident complained of head pain, they would send them out. Staff E, LPN
confirmed she saw the resident's arms and it looked like she had a skin tear. She stated she was not
assigned to the resident but if she was, she would have notified the family and physician, follow fall process,
assess for pain, follow treatment orders and document.
Residents Affected - Few
On 09/26/23 at 1:10 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). She
stated she was working the day the resident fell. She said the resident fell while on the bus. She stated the
resident slid between two seats and she could not get up. The resident had some injury to her face and
bruises on her hand. She said, She was complaining of pain when you moved her. She had a sore bump on
the right side of her head. The nurse (Staff J) put something on her head.
On 09/26/23 at 2:27 pm. an interview was conducted with Staff F, CNA. She said, I was at the church, and
we were unloading the bus when an agency CNA who was riding in the bus came to me and said the
resident was pinned in the seat. I was outside of the bus. I got on the bus and saw [Resident #3] between
the seats, her face was down, and her knees were touching the floor. She was squeezed into the seats. I
was unable to move her. I ran to get Staff S, Unit Manager. Staff S was able to pull the resident out after
several attempts. Staff F stated at the time she did not notice any bruising. Staff F stated the incident was
chaotic. She stated she noticed Resident #3's bruising when they returned to the facility three days later.

Weekend Supervisor. Staff E stated after they returned to the facility, they received notification that there
was a note regarding some type of injury that occurred on the bus. She said, We talked about it on 09/12/23
at the morning meeting. The administration reviewed the incident. At this point, nothing was documented. I
went back and saw the resident; she had a yellow bruise and scab on the left side of her face. The DON
said, I notified the doctor that during the transfer, there had been some type of incident and the resident
had suffered bruising to her temple area. I did not document but, I started the incident report. The doctor
had no new orders because it had been two weeks so there was not much we could do. The DON stated
the issue was there was no documentation at the time, and they could not say exactly what happened. The
DON stated the expectation would be to notify the supervisor of any injuries that occur to a resident.
On 09/26/23 at 9:45 a.m. an interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). She
confirmed Resident #3 suffered a fall with injuries on the bus and there was no documentation. She stated
she became aware the resident had fallen while getting off the bus or while on the bus during the
evacuation transport. She stated The Unit Manager (Staff S) was with the resident. The NHA said, I would
have expected him to document what happened per facility protocol. The resident suffered some scabbing
and bruising. The nurse should have assessed, notified the physician and family.
Review of an undated facility document titled, Fall Event Protocol, showed an expectation to notify
supervisor of all falls immediately. Notify DON/administrator of all falls with injury immediately.

On 09/25/23 at 3:22 p.m., the DON said she was not aware of any missing controlled medications and the
facility has planned to start Narcotic Controls education with the nursing staff. The DON said the
expectation was for staff to sign the Narcotic Cards/ Bottles Reconciliation log immediately after narcotics
are counted at the beginning and end of shift. The Narcotic Cards/ bottles Reconciliation log columns
should not be blank. The DON said the Control Drug Use Record should be signed at the time the
medication is removed.
Review of a document provided by the facility titled Narcotic Controls, undated, revealed the following
directions: At the change of shift, the off-going and on-coming nurse must count all narcotics and sheets
and record both on the controlled medication shift change log. Any time a new nurse takes the keys to a
medication cart, the off-going and on-coming nurses must count all narcotics and sheets. The controlled
medication shift change log should be completed in its entirety to include the data and time of the narcotic
count.
