hemiarthroplasty; there is a questionable avulsion fracture of the greater Trochanter. Patient was transferred
to (local) hospital for surgery. While at (local) hospital, it was decided to put surgery on hold as patient's
family wanted to review options and whether or not to go forward with surgery or pursue hospice .
On 4/30/24 at 10:30 AM V9 (RN) stated, Therapy had gotten him up and they noticed a lot of pain. They
noticed the shortening and internal rotation of the left leg. Therapy often gets them up. They come around
7:30 AM. I have no clue what happened. I sent him to the hospital, and he did not come back. I haven't
heard any more about him.
On 4/30/24 at 11:06 AM V5 (Physical Therapist) stated, That morning (4/23/24) I found the hip dislocation.
He had a history of it in the past. He had a tendency for his leg to roll inward in bed. I wanted to get him up
and assess him. He was not able to stand or place any weight on that leg (left). There was usually a wedge
(abductor pillow) in the bed but that morning I don't recall there being one there. We always recommend the
wedge if they are cognitively impaired and need it to maintain hip precautions. I also saw him on 4/22/24
and he was much better. He usually needed just stand guard assist but on the 23rd he needed moderate
assist to try to stand. I noticed something was different with him right away.
On 4/30/24 at 11:50 AM V7 (CNA) stated, When I come in, they are usually in bed. R1 is restless in the bed
and often throws his legs out of the bed. I have to go in there many times to reposition him. I put the pillows
in between his legs and reposition him. He throws the pillow out. R1 is incontinent and he doesn't ever ask
for the urinal. The last time I rounded with R1 was probably about 6-6:30 AM.
