Bilateral Nasal Bone Fracture. Soft Tissue Hematoma noted overlying the inferior aspect of the frontal
bone.On 10/14/24 at 1:30PM R1 was seated in her room in her wheelchair. Both foot pedals were in place
on R1's wheelchair. When asked if R1 recalled falling out of her wheelchair about a month ago R1 stated I
sure do. I broke my nose I thought it would never stop bleeding. After that I had two big black eyes. I fell flat
on my face. It hurt a lot, and I was pretty anxious. I had a stroke, and I am partly paralyzed on my left leg.
Before I fell, sometimes they would put on one of my foot pedals. When I fell, I didn't have on either one of
the pedals. My weak foot (Left) got caught on the front wheel and I went out of the chair on my face.
Therapy (staff) put on both foot pedals when I got back from the hospital.On 10/14/25 at 1:40PM V8 Dietary
Aide stated When (R1) fell and broke her nose we had just finished the meal, and I took (R1) in her
wheelchair to her room. Neither of the footrests were in place. (R1's) bad leg got caught in the front wheel
of the wheelchair and she went to the floor on her face. Her nose was bleeding bad, so I got the nurse right
away.On 10/14/25 at 1:56PM V7, Physical Therapy Assistant stated I think when (R1) fell her footrests were
in her closet. We assessed (R1) after the fall and put the footrests in place.On 10/14/25 at 2:10PM V7,
Acting Director of Nursing verified it would be her expectation when staff is transporting a resident in a
wheelchair the foot pedals should be in place. The facility did not provide a policy for use of foot pedals
during transfer.
