It continued to document that R2 required the use of a wheelchair, substantial/maximal assistance from staff to stand, and partial/moderate assistance to sit up on the side of the bed from a lying position.R2's Care Plan started on [DATE] documented she was at risk for injuries related to history of falls secondary to unsteady gait and the interventions added to this care plan included: ([DATE]) use proper assistive device wheelchair/walker as needed, rest periods as needed, proper footwear as indicated, invite/escort to activities of choice as tolerated as desired, cues/redirect as needed, clutter free environment, call light within reach while in room and remind resident to call for assistance as needed; ([DATE]) staff will have the tv on when she is laid down in bed; ([DATE]) bed/chair alarm placed on residents bed and wheelchair, however, this was already care planned on [DATE] in a separate care plan; and ([DATE]) staff will place bed in lowest position and place a fall mat beside the residents bed.R2's Progress Note from her admission date on [DATE] at 8:00 PM, documented R2 was at the facility for reoccurring falls. R2's Fall Risk Assessments dated [DATE], [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE] all documented she was a high fall risk.The facility's Fall Report documented R2 fell on [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE].The facility's Fall Investigation Report dated [DATE] documented R2 received an injury to her head, and the root cause was R2 wanting to watch tv (television) and that staff will have the tv on when R2 is laid down in bed. The report also included a progress note dated [DATE] documenting R2 had an alarm in place to her wheelchair. The facility's Fall Investigation Report dated [DATE] documented R2 received an injury to her head and arm then sent to the ER (emergency room).

V2 stated R2's only major health concern was that she didn't have fingers or toes, so we wanted to keep her safe. V2 stated the bed alarm was not an effective intervention for R2, the alarm was only effective when used in her wheelchair. V2 stated in agreement that R2 already had use of bed and chair alarms in place prior to her fall [DATE], it would not have been a new intervention. V2 stated in agreement that R2's bed had already been put in low position with a fall mat in place prior to her fall on [DATE] and that it wasn't added to her care plan interventions until after the fall. V2 stated maybe they could have put the alarm box inside R2's bedside table to keep her from turning it off.On [DATE] at 11:50 AM, V11 (Medical Director) stated his main concern for R2 was preventing falls. V11 stated he hadn't seen R2 yet but was scheduled to see her this month. V11 stated in his clinical expertise, a TSH (thyrotropin) level of 34 and having hypothyroidism would not have an effect on the risk of falls. V11 stated he would expect staff to be following the fall risk care plan interventions if they were able to do so. V11 stated he would expect interventions to be progressive and resident centered, if R2 was able to turn off the alarm, he would expect the facility to attempt to prevent her from being able to do so by hiding it. V11 stated if the fall risk interventions were not being followed and they were previously working, it could pose a higher risk for R2 to fall.On [DATE] at 2:18 PM, V2 (DON) stated the facility did not have an alarm policy but they did have guidelines for Personal Alarms. The Personal Alarms guidelines (undated) documented bed exit alarms are often used as an intervention for fall reduction programs, but they are not always used effectively. It continued to document it is important that when placing an alarm to consider many reports describe patients deliberately deactivating their alarms and may not be appropriate.The facility's Falls Management Policy dated [DATE] documented it is the policy of the facility to assess and manage resident falls through prevention, investigation, and implementation and evaluation of interventions.
