On 1/22/2025 at 11:00 am V2, Director of Nurses, when asked since R2 was a high risk for falls, should she
have been left unattended on the toilet? V2 stated no. When asked if a resident, who is a high risk of falls,
what type of interventions would be put immediately into place when they are admitted with a history of
falls, she stated that some time a bed and chair alarm, and a call don't fall sign. V2 was asked how does the
staff know, agency staff included, who is a high risk for falls and interventions? V2 stated that agency
should check the residents care plan and also when they get report from the previous shift, they should be
let known.
An electronic mail document from V12, R2's Physician, containing questions from the state agency and his
responses regarding R2's fall, cognition and safety, dated 1/27/2025, documented, 1. Could a fall from the
toilet, onto the floor, possibly cause a left hip fracture even though she was found on her right side?
Possibly. 2. Do you think that this injury could have been prevented if the facility staff would have stayed
with her until she was ready to get off the toilet and not leave her unattended due to her severely impaired
cognition and dementia? Yes. 3. Do you think (R2) could understand how to use a call light with her
cognition being impaired? Unable to determine at this time.
The facility's policy, Subject: Fall Assessment and Management Policy, dated 6/2024, documented, It is the
policy of this facility to assess each resident's fall risk on admission, quarterly and with each fall. this will
help facilitate an interdisciplinary approach for care planning to appropriately monitor, assess and ultimately
reduce injury risk. Factors related to the risk will be addressed and care planned. It continues, D. All staff
providing care for the resident will have access to the care plan and/or [NAME].
