F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide assistance and utilize gait belt during a toilet transfer for a resident identified as requiring assistance. This resulted in a fall in which R1 sustained multiple rib fractures and other injuries. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for fall incident in the sample of 5. The Finding includes: According to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), R1 is a [AGE] year-old with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), muscle weakness, muscle wasting, history of falls, major depressive disorder, diabetes mellitus, bilateral knee replacement, left hip arthroplasty, compression fracture, and restless leg syndrome. R1 was admitted on [DATE]. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], documented R1 as cognitively intact and requiring moderate assistance for toilet transfers and ambulation. This level of assistance is defined as staff lifting or holding the resident's trunk or limbs. The care plan, dated March 16, 2025, identified R1 as high risk for falls due to her medical history and functional impairments. Interventions included staff assistance during toileting, instructions that R1 should not walk or stand unassisted, and use of a rolling walker with staff assistance for ambulation. The staff assignment sheet (Care Plan Kardex) dated March 15, 2025, specified that R1 required one-person assistance for transfers. According to the facility's incident report dated May 19, 2025, at approximately 7:30 A.M., R1 was walking with a rolling walker to the bathroom in her room. After taking three steps with a walker, R1 lost her balance and fell backward, striking her back against a dresser. Emergency Medical Services were called, and R1 was transported to the hospital for evaluation. On May 30, 2025, at 10:30 A.M., in the presence of V2 (Director of Nursing) and V4 (Nurse), R1 was lying in bed and was noted with a six-inch dark purple-blue bruise on the right flank, extending from above the right hip to the mid-lateral back. R1 stated, I have this bruise because I fell more than a week ago and it's still painful. I can't move myself in bed. I fell when I was walking with a walker. (V3/CNA/Certified Nurse Assitant) got me out of bed, gave me a walker, then she went to the bathroom. She left me walking alone, while on my way to the bathroom. That was when I fell and hit the dresser.
