**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide two person assistance during
incontinence care and failed to implement a post fall intervention. This failure applies to 1 of 3 residents
(R1) reviewed for falls in the sample of 3. This failure resulted in the resident falling off the bed and
sustaining a left femur and a right shoulder fracture.
The findings include:
R1's EMR (electronic medical records) showed that R1 was sent to the ER (emergency room) on May 9,
2024 post fall and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] after hospital stay with diagnoses of unspecified fall,
subsequent encounter, nondisplaced fracture of lateral condyle of right femur, subsequent encounter for
closed fracture with routine healing, fracture of unspecified shoulder girdle, part unspecified, subsequent
encounter for fracture with routine healing, unspecified injury of head, subsequent encounter. R1's
diagnoses prior to discharge to the hospital included morbid (severe) obesity due to excess calories, other
idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy.
Initial Consultation at ED (Emergency Department) on May 9, 2024 included the following information:
R1 is a [AGE] year old female presented to ED for further evaluation after mechanical fall out of bed at the
nursing home. R1 is on Xarelto (blood thinner) and primarily complained of headache where she hit her
head, right shoulder pain and left knee and hip pain. ED evaluation with X-ray to shoulder shows
comminuted displaced right neck humeral fracture primarily involving the humeral neck which is displaced
up to 1.7 cm (centimeters) and also involves the humeral head cortex and tuberosities, soft tissue edema
present. CT (Computed Tomography) of left knee shows fracture of both medial and lateral distal femur
essentially nondisplaced extending into the tibiofemoral articular surface as well as patellofemoral articular
surface. Orthopedic surgery was consulted for further management.
R1's quarterly MDS (minimum data set) dated March 5, 2024 showed that R1 was moderately impaired in
cognition. The same MDS showed that R1 was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene. The MDS
assessment showed that the term dependent included that helper does ALL of the effort. Resident does
none of the effort to complete the activity or, the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident
to complete the activity.
R1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] showed that R1 was at high risk for fall with a score of 16.
