(1) Assess the resident for risk of entrapment
from bed rails prior to installation.
(2) Review the risks and benefits of bed rails
with the resident or resident representative and
obtain informed consent prior to installation.
(3) Ensure that the bed’s dimensions are
appropriate for the resident’s size and weight.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide supervision to assure a
safe transfer with two staff for one (Resident 1)
of four sampled residents.
As a result Resident 1 fell on 8/11/17 and
sustained a severely fractured hip which was
not recognized for three days.
Findings:
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident
1 was admitted on 3/20/13 with diagnoses
including stroke (interruption of blood flow to
brain causing loss of function controlled by that
part of the brain); left sided paralysis (loss of
ability to move or to feel); contractures
(shortening and tightening of muscles and
tendons) of left hand, left elbow and knee;
muscle weakness and Alzheimer's disease
(progressive disease that destroys memory and
other mental functions).
A review of the Minimum Data Set Assessment
(an assessment tool to guide care), dated
3/17/17, indicted Functional Status During
Transfer (how resident moves between
surfaces including to or from bed, chair,
wheelchair): Assistance needed was, "Total
dependence-full staff performance every time
during entire 7-day period." The Support

provided for transfer was assessed as, "Two
plus persons physical assist." That meant that
Resident 1 needed at least two staff members
to transfer her from the bed to the wheelchair.
Review of the Fall Risk Assessment, date
6/19/17, Resident 1's rating for fall risk was
"15." On the Total Score line at the bottom of
the form was written, "A total score of 10 or
above represents HIGH RISK."
A review of the care plan, revised on 3/16/17,
indicated Resident 1's Problem/Need list
included, "At risk for fall, limited mobility, poor
balance, lack of awareness, forgets to call/wait
for assistance ... and had a history of falls." The
Approaches (interventions) listed were:
"Provide an environment that supports
minimized hazards over which the Facility has
control, call light within reach, remind resident
to use call light, bed in the low position (whole
bed lowered)."
During an interview on 8/29/17 at 11:10 a.m.,
Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1 stated (when
the fall happened), "Basically, I had got her
dressed. Resident was supposed to be
transferred to a chair. It was a two person
transfer. As I went to go pull the wheelchair
close to the bed for her to get her up, as I went
to grab the wheelchair, she (Resident 1) was
sitting on the side of the bed. To my
knowledge, I thought she could hold herself up
on bed. I guess not. I tried to catch her. I
definitely approached her from the back. When
I ran she was already pretty much was on the
ground. It was something that happened fast. It
was an instant type thing. I remember holding
her from her back under her arm. I knew I
needed to leave her there. The other CNA
(CNA 2) went to get help. She came after the
fall. She (Resident 1) seemed as though she
could hold herself up. I thought I could take a

few steps and grab the chair. I had worked with
the resident before and was able to transfer the
resident." CNA 1 stated, Resident 1,Cried a
little bit. She did not yell. She was "grabbing
onto her leg or thigh." She always cried and
complained. It seemed she was saying she
was in pain. CNA 1 stated, "I was told to make
her feel as comfortable as possible in the chair
and put her in the day room after the incident."
During an interview on 8/29/17 at 3:30 p.m.,
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, who
was the charge nurse on the day of Resident
1's accident, LVN 1 stated, "It always takes one
person to get her (Resident 1) out of bed, or
they would ask the RNA (Restorative Nurse
Assistant) to do it."
During an interview on 8/30/17 at 3:15 p.m.,
the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)
stated we should have assessed in more detail,
where the pain was coming from. When I
assessed her, the CNA did not report to me
that she said, "pain." The fall happened on
Friday. It was on Monday that she was really
complaining of pain. The hip was tender and
there was some heat.
A review of the SBAR Communication form,
dated 8/14/17, indicated Resident 1 had, "Left
hip pain and swelling and left cheek
discoloration. Rt (resident) complains of pain
when moved."
An x-ray was done on 8/15/17 at the facility.
The x-ray results showed Resident 1 had a
severely comminuted (multiple fragments)
fracture of the left hip. On 8/15/17 at 2:30 p.m.
Resident 1 was sent to an acute hospital for
treatment.
The ED (Emergency Department) Provider
