Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to follow its fall prevention and management
policy and accurately assess a resident's fall risk and implement high fall risk interventions to reduce the
risk of falling for a resident identified as impaired safety awareness. This affected 1 of 3 residents (R1)
reviewed for fall prevention.
Findings include:
On 6/29/23 at 12:30pm, R1's family member stated that prior to R1's fall on 6/17/23, there were no fall
precaution interventions in place for R1. R1's family member stated that staff were aware on 6/15/23 when
R1 was admitted that R1 was at high risk for falls. R1's family member stated that R1 was wearing a fall risk
identification band from the hospital on her right wrist. R1's family member stated that R1 sustained
bruising to both eyes and right forehead due to fall.
On 6/30/23 at 11:45am, V2 DON Director of Nursing) stated that V2 is responsible for this facility's falls
program. V2 stated that three days ago V2 realized that the nursing staff were not considering the fall risk
assessment score when implementing fall risk interventions. V2 stated that V2 has started re-educating
staff on assessing a resident's fall risk and implementing appropriate interventions based on the
assessment. V2 stated that a fall risk score of 0-9 indicates the resident is at risk for falls. V2 stated that a
score of 10 or higher indicates the resident is high risk for falls. V2 acknowledged that high risk for fall
interventions were implemented after R1's fall.
Review of R1's medical record notes R1 was admitted to this facility on 6/15/23 with diagnoses including,
but not limited to, unsteadiness on feet, abnormalities of gait and mobility, weakness, and Alzheimer's
disease.
Review of R1's physical therapy note while in hospital, dated 6/15/23, notes R1's attention span is impaired
as evidenced by agitation, distractibility, and reduced memory. R1 follows one step commands
inconsistently. R1's safety awareness/insight is impaired.
Review of R1's physical therapy evaluation, dated 6/16/23, notes R1 requires moderate assistance of staff
with bed mobility (roll left and right), sit to lying position, and lying to sitting on side of bed. R1 requires
maximum assistance of staff for sit to stand. Ambulation not attempted due to medical condition/safety
concerns. R1's mobility function score is 2 (range 0-12; 12 being the highest function). Bilateral lower
extremity strength impaired. R1's decision making ability for routine activities is severely impaired.
Review of R1's progress notes, dated 6/17/23 at 11:45am, V6 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) noted

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
behavior charting: R1 was observed refusing morning incontinence care several times. V6 educated R1 on
risks and benefits of peri care. R1 states I'm not a nasty woman, I don't need no changing, leave me alone I
want to get out of here. Education unsuccessful.
Review of R1's progress notes, dated 6/17/23 at 1:47pm, V6 LPN noted: CNA (Certified Nurse Aide)
informed V6 R1 has fallen in the room. V6 observed R1 laying on right side near room door. V6 performed
vital signs, skin assessment, and motor assessment. Assessment in normal range of baseline. On 6/18, V6
noted during care V6 observed R1's right upper eyelid has some discoloration.
Review of R1's admission MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 6/20/23, notes R1's BIMS (Brief Interview of
MentalSstatus) score is 4 out of 15. R1 requires extensive assistance of 2+ persons for bed mobility,
transfers, and toileting.
Review of R1's admission assessment, dated 6/15/23, notes R1 with unsteady gait and/or use of assistive
device, confused, impaired memory or judgment, history of falls in the past 6 months. Fall risk score 24.
R1's fall assessment, post fall on 6/17/23, notes R1's fall risk score is 22. This assessment notes scoring a
10 or higher makes resident high risk for falls.
Review of R1's baseline falls care plan, dated 6/15/23, notes R1 is at risk for falls due to generalized
weakness. Interventions implemented on admission were keep bed in lowest position and keep frequently
used items within reach.
R1's post fall care plan notes interventions including promote placement of call light within reach and
assess resident's ability to use; provide proper, well maintained footwear; rounding at a minimum of every
two hours and prompt or assist for change in position, toileting, offer fluids, and ensure resident is warm
and dry; and a perimeter scoop mattress.
Review of this facility's fall prevention and management policy, dated 02/2023, notes, in part, a fall risk
evaluation will be completed on admission and after each fall. Residents at risk for falls will have fall risk
identified on the interim plan of care with interventions implemented to minimize fall risk. A fall risk
evaluation is completed by the nurse. A score of 10 or greater indicates the resident is at high risk for falls.
