These failures affected three (R1, R2 and R3) of five residents reviewed for falls/injury. These failures resulted in R1 having a fall in the dining that resulted in a right femur fracture, requiring surgery; R2 had a fall in her room and sustained a femur fracture requiring a surgical procedure; and R3 had a fall in her room and sustained a right distal clavicle fracture, which required treatment at a local hospital.

A document presented by V1 (Administrator) titled Fall- clinical protocol (undated) stated in part that as part of the initial assessment, the physician will help identify individuals with a history of falls and risk factors for subsequent falling. a. Staff will ask the resident and the caregiver or family about a history of falling. b. The staff and physician should document in the medical record a history of one or more recent falls. Under monitoring and follow-up, the document states in part that the staff and physician will document the individual's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the consequences of falling. If the individual continues to fall, the staff and physician will re-evaluate the situation and consider other possible reasons for the resident's falling.
