F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few R1's care plan for ADL (Activity of Daily Living) dated 08/24/2023 documents that R1 has performance self-care deficit. R1's intervention is to use gait belt for transfers and ambulation, and to cue R1 to grasp side rail and pull self-up to a sitting position or to the side of bed. R1's care plan related to transfers document that on 02/23/2024 the date initiated, R1 requires use of mechanical lift for transfers (Hoyer Lift) as assessed of being dependent on all ADLs. Per date-initiated use of mechanical lift supersedes use of gait belt, and use of mechanical lift contradicts use of gait belt for transfers and ambulation. R1 was non-ambulatory with lower extremities contractures. On 01/30/2025 at 12:40 PM, V7 (Assistant Director of Nursing/Restorative Nurse/Registered Nurse) stated that prior to R1's fracture, R1 was non-ambulatory, uses Geri-chair, needs 2-person assist on ADLs (Activity of Daily Living), and is dependent on bed mobility. V7 stated that R1's bed mobility means that in order to turn R1, nursing staff needs to roll her because she is not assisting in any way. V7 said, R1 was dependent, and the only thing that she can do is touch you. Even with feeding she cannot do it; she needs to be fed. V7 stated that R1 has contractures and positions herself in a fetal position that makes it hard for her to do bed mobility, based on written interviews of staff document provided by V1 (Administrator). V7 identified V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) and V6 (Certified Nursing Assistant) as the staff who took care of R1 the night before R1 was found to have a left leg fracture. V7 was informed that based on the same written interviews, nursing staff regarded R1 as capable of bed mobility. It was documented that R1 was able to sit on the side of the bed. V7 stated that R1 cannot do all of those things, and that she (V7) did an in-service on proper positioning and proper transfers. V7 was asked if endorsement is being done by CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) during change of shift as nurses do? V7 replied, that CNAs do not have endorsement like nurses, and transfer status of residents are being assessed and should been communicated to nursing staff. V7 was informed that all function assessment of R1 prior to incident were assessed as dependent. That means R1 cannot do any of bed mobility and transfers. V7 stated that R1 was dependent per assessment. V2 (Director of Nursing) came inside the room and was informed about the conversation with V7. V2 stated that all residents were evaluated including bed mobility and transfers. V2 stated that R1 was being transferred with 2-persons assist. V2 was informed about R1 assessment as dependent for all ADLs. V2 stated that when a resident is assessed as dependent resident should be treated as total assist. Both V2 and V7 were informed about R1's care plan ADLs and transfers inaccuracies. Per care plan, R1 will use gait belt with transfers and ambulation. V2 stated that R1 does not ambulate and only one person needs to assist when using a gait belt. V2 stated that these are old care plans and need to be removed. R1's care plan also requires Hoyer Lift not 2-persons assist, and that R1 has contractures on lower extremities. V2 said, We will review the care plan. On 01/30/2025 at 02:04 PM, V6 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, I was doing the 2 persons assist when transferring R1 not the Hoyer lift, because Hoyer was not always available. Yes, Hoyer lift is not always available. On 01/30/2025 at 02:24 PM, V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated that she remembers working the night before R1 had a fracture. V5 stated that R1 needs 2 people to change and reposition her. But with R1's transfers, she was not sure how R1 transfers. V5 stated that her CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) never asked her about R1's transfers. V5 said, No one ever asked me. If they need to know they can talk to each other. I mean the CNAs can talk to each other. Review of Care Plan policy dated 11/2017, reads: Each resident care plan shall be reviewed by Interdisciplinary Team (IDT).
