Most of the time I can handle (R3) on my own. We transfer (R3) with a mechanical lift and 2-person assist. I
would give that extra push and assist (R3) with turning.
On 10/10/23 at 3:28 PM, V10 (Registered Nurse) stated, (R3) is bedridden, a two person assist with putting
in bed and supposed to be a two person assist all the time with turning and repositioning. On 09/30/23, I
was at the nurse's station and the CNA (V15, Certified Nursing Assistant) came to me afterwards, telling
me that (R3) fell out of the bed when she was giving (R3) care. (R3) was trying to turn, when she was trying
to change (R3's) diaper. When I went to assess (R3), she (R3) was in bed. (R3's) right arm was warm to
touch, swollen, and (R3) complained of pain when I was trying to do an assessment. The back of the two
middle fingers on the left hand were bruised. (R3) tried to move the right arm but she was in pain, so I told
her not to move the arm. (R3) was trying to turn and must have overturned herself, was holding onto the
side rail, her upper part of the body was not on the floor, just her bottom part was on the floor. (R3) must
have twisted her arm while holding onto the side rail and gotten the fracture. (R3) may be able to turn with
her upper extremities. (V15) was in (R3's) room by herself when the incident happened.
On 10/10/23 at 4:13 PM, V13 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated, On 09/30/23 I was there to help (R3) get
back in bed. When I saw (R3), the lower part of the body was out of the bed.
On 101/10/23 at 4:22 PM, V14 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated, On 09/30/23, (V15, Certified Nursing
Assistant) was assigned to (R3). I was not assisting (V15) to change (R3). (V15) called me to help her and
went and got (V13, Certified Nursing Assistant) and (V16, Certified Nursing Assistant). (R3) was hanging
off of the bed and we used the blanket to pull (R3) back to the bed. (R3) was holding onto the siderail so
that she would not fall on the floor. When (V15) called me, (R3) was already hanging onto the siderail. Each
person normally works with (R3) alone. When I was assigned to (R3), I normally do it by myself.
On 10/11/23 at 9:34 AM per telephone interview, V15 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated, (R3) is a two
person assist with bed mobility. After (R3) fell off the bed, I went to get the nurse. It happened so fast, and I
was not able to stop her. (R3's) top part of her body was partially on the bed because she was still trying to
hold on to the side rail. The bottom part, her knees were on the floor. (R3) was holding onto the side rail and
never let go. I was waiting for (V14, Certified Nursing Assistant) because (V14) was busy. I told (R3) I was
about to give her care. I told (R3) to turn, and when (R3) turned, that is when (R3) rolled off the bed. (V13,
V14 and V16) assisted me getting (R3) back in bed. (R3) is a 2 person assist for all her care.
On 10/11/23 at 3:17 PM, V16 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, On 09/30/23, I was on the other side of
the floor. When I came to (R3's) room, part of (R3's) body was on the bed, and part was on the floor. (R3)
was on the left side of the bed and was still holding onto the side rail. I assisted the staff to put (R3) back in
the bed. (R3) was a heavy lady. When we got (R3) back in bed, (R3) complained of body pains. (R3) has
always been a two person assist.
On 10/12/23 at 10:13 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, My expectations are that the staff follow the plan
of care and provide safe care. If the MDS documents the resident is a 2 + person assist for bed mobility,
there should be at least 2 people. If more assistance is needed usually, they will ask for help. (V15) was the
closest to the resident room and (V15) went in by herself. If there were 2 plus persons in the room, the fall
and injury I think could have been prevented. The care plan is updated by the MDS Coordinator.

On 10/12/23 at 10:53 AM, V17 (Physician Assistant) stated, I saw (R3) post fall for pain management.
(R3's) pain level with movement is pretty high up there, moderate to severe, as expected post fall. (R3) had
some bruising on the left hand, had a couple spots on the legs and right hand. Prior to the fall, I think (R3)
was pretty dependent functionally cognition with eating and (R3's) baseline. (R3) had a decline with the
fractured arm. If the MDS indicate that (R3) should be a 2+ person assist with mobility, there should have
been 2 people providing care for (R3), likely I would agree. If there were 2 people providing care, it could
have decreased the potential for a fall.
On 10/12/23 at 11:25 AM per telephone interview, V18 (MDS Coordinator) stated, The information on the
MDS should match with the care plan. The care plan is revised every quarter and if there is a significant
change. (V20, Licensed Practical Nurse/Restorative) would be the one that code the Section G on the
MDS. The information on the MDS should have been reflected and updated on the care plan. When there is
a change on the MDS there should also be a change on the care plan.
On 10/12/23 at 1:26 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, When they did the 7 day look back (R3) required
two people assist for care.
Policy:
Titled Care Plans, Person Centered, reviewed 11/22, documents: A comprehensive, person-centered care
plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and
functional needs is developed and implement it for each resident. Procedure: 2. The care plan interventions
are derived from a thorough analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive
assessment. 7. The care planning process will: b. Include an assessment of the resident's strengths and
needs. 13. Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the
residents and the residents' conditions change. 14. The interdisciplinary team must review and update the
care plan: a. when there has been a significant change and the resident's condition. d. At least quarterly, in
conjunction with the required MDS assessment.
Titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised 03/18, documents: based on previous evaluations and current
data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risk and causes to try to prevent the
resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. According to the MDS, a fall is defined
as: Unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or other lower level, but not as a result an
overwhelming external force.
Titled Fall Risk Assessment, revised 03/18, documents: The nursing staff, in conjunction with the attending
physician, consultant pharmacist, therapy staff, and others, will seek to identify and document resident risk
factors for falls and establish a resident-centered falls prevention plan based on relevant assessment
information.
Titled Activities of Daily Living, dated 03/18, documents: 2. Appropriate care and services will be provided
for residents who are unable to carry out ADL's independently, with the consent of the resident and in
accordance with the plan of care, including appropriate support and assistance with: b. Mobility (transfer,
bed mobility, ambulation, including walking).

twisted her arm while holding onto the side rail and gotten the fracture. (V15) was in (R3's) room by herself
when the incident happened.
On 10/10/23 at 4:13 PM, V13 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, On 09/30/23, I was there to help (R3) get
back in bed. When I saw (R3), the lower part of (R3's) body was out of the bed. I was on my set, and the
other CNA said that she (V15) needed help. We looked for a sheet and put (R3) back to bed using the
sheet. (R3) was afraid that she was going to hit her head, because of her position, and there was a small
drawer between bed one and bed two. The mechanical lift could not go all the way to the floor, so we used
the sheet to pull (R3) back in the bed.
On 10/10/23 at 4:22 PM, V14 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated, On 09/30/23, (V15, Certified Nursing
Assistant) was assigned to (R3). I was not assisting (V15) to change (R3). (R3) was not on the floor when I
went to (R3's) room; (R3) was about to fall out of the bed. (V15) called me to help her, and we went and got
(V13, Certified Nursing Assistant) and (V16, Certified Nursing Assistant). When (V15) called me, (R3) was
already hanging onto the siderail. (R3) was hanging off the bed, and we used the blanket to pull (R3) back
to the bed. (R3) was holding onto the siderail so that she would not fall on the floor. When I was assigned to
(R3), I normally do it by myself. Each person normally works with (R3) alone.
On 10/11/23 at 9:34 AM per telephone interview, V15 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated, I was about to
provide care for (R3), and I had not started. I was going to change (R3's) diaper; (R3) is incontinent. I don't
know why (R3) turned. I was telling her to wait, but it was too late. (R3) is a two person assist with bed
mobility. After (R3) fell off the bed, I went to get the nurse. It happened so fast, and I was not able to stop
her. I always do two-person assist and always get someone to help me. (R3's) top part of her body was
partially on the bed because she was still trying to hold on to the side rail. The bottom part, her knees, were
on the floor. (R3) was holding onto the side rail and never let go. The nurse checked (R3) out, and that's
when we put (R3) back on the bed. The nurse assisted putting (R3) back to bed. We put the sling under
(R3) from the mechanical lift, and used the mechanical lift to put (R3) back in bed. V15 got silent after being
told staff that assisted R3 after the fall had a different version of events. V15 stated, I was waiting for (V14,
Certified Nurse Assistant) because (V14) was busy. I told (R3) I was about to give her care. I told (R3) to
turn, and when (R3) turned, that is when (R3) rolled off the bed. I went to get the nurse, (V10, Registered
Nurse), but he was not coming right away. (V10) came in after (R3) was in the bed. (V13), (V14), and (V16)
assisted me getting (R3) back in bed. We got (R3) in the bed using a sheet. (R3) is a 2 person assist for all
her care.
On 10/12/23 at 10:13 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, My expectations are that the staff follow the plan
of care and provide safe care. If the MDS documents the resident is a 2 + person assist for bed mobility,
there should be at least 2 people. If more assistance is needed, usually they will ask for help. (V15) was the
closest to (R3's) room and (V15) went in by herself. If there were 2 plus persons in the room the fall and
injury I think could have been prevented.

On 10/12/23 at 10:53 AM, V17 (Physician Assistant) stated, I saw (R3) a couple of times, and I saw (R3)
post fall for pain management. For (R3) to move the hand was painful. We kept (R3) on tramadol, but upped
the dosage. (R3's) pain level with movement is pretty-high up there, moderate to severe, as expected post
fall. (R3) had some bruising on the left hand, had a couple spots on the legs and right hand. (R3) had a
decline with the fractured arm. If the MDS indicates that (R3) should be a 2+ person assist with bed
mobility, there should have been 2 people providing care for (R3), likely I would agree. If there were 2
people providing care, it could have decreased the potential for a fall.
On 10/12/23 at 11:15 AM, V20 (Licensed Practical Nurse/Restorative) stated, (R3) is a fall risk. (R3) has
upper and lower body weakness, limitation of the shoulders because of pain. (R3) is a total assist as far as
mobility, and the ADL (Activities of Daily Living) part. (R3) is supposed to be a two person assist with
turning and repositioning. Because (R3) is obese and has upper and lower body weakness, she has
difficulty turning by herself. The two-person assist is in place to help prevent any falls from the bed or injury.
(V15) should have had at least 2 people assisting when providing care. Having a two-person assist could
have potentially prevented (R3) from falling out of the bed and getting injured. (R3) is not in a regular bed;
(R3) is in a full-size bed that is wider than the regular bed.
On 10/12/23 at 1:26 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, When they did the 7 day look back, (R3) required
two people assist for care.
In-service titled S/P (Status Post) Fall, dated 10/02/23, documents, (R3's) bed mobility level of assist x2

Policy:
Titled Care Plans, Person Centered, reviewed 11/22, documents: A comprehensive, person-centered care

as: Unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or other lower level, but not as a result an
overwhelming external force.
Titled Fall Risk Assessment, revised 03/18, documents: The nursing staff, in conjunction with the attending
physician, consultant pharmacist, therapy staff, and others, will seek to identify and document resident risk
