F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to keep a resident's environment free of accident hazards and failed to implement new interventions to reduce falls for 7 of 10 residents (R2, R3, R9, R41, R49, R51, R54) reviewed for falls in a sample of 40. This failure resulted in R2 falling out of bed on 11/29/2023 due to a loose bed enabler and suffering a fractured left acetabular medial wall, a fractured iliopubic junction fracture and a fractured pubic rami. Findings include: 1. According to R2's face sheet, R2 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis of Parkinson's, Muscle Weakness, Muscle wasting and Atrophy, Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis and Convulsions among others. R2's MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE] documents R2 needs substantial assistance for dressing, showering and bed mobility. This same MDS documents R2 is dependent on staff for toileting and transferring. R2's MDS dated [DATE] documents R2 was assessed with the BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) in which R2 scored 7 out of 15 indicating R2 has severe cognitive impairment. R2's care plan documents R2 is high risk for falls and planned interventions to prevent falls include anticipate R2's needs, call light within reach, encourage R2 to use call light and staff to promptly respond to R2's call light. This same care plan documents R2 uses bilateral bed enabler bars on her bed for bed mobility and due to seizure disorder. R2's Fall Risk Evaluation, dated 11/29/2023, documented R2 requires the use of assistive devices for gait/balance, has had a change in condition within the past 14 days, is chair bound with incontinence, has had medication changes within the past 5 days, and is a high risk for falls. On 12/3/2023, the state agency was notified of R2 having a fall with serious injury in which R2 fell out of bed on 11/29/23. This Long-Term Care Facility-Serious Injury Incident Report dated 12/3/2023 documented R2 fell out of bed on 11/29/23 at 2:30am due to loose bed enabler and was sent to the ER (emergency room) for evaluation of left hip pain. This report documented R2's X-rays were negative at the time of her fall, but R2 continued to have left hip pain and was sent to the ER again on 12/3/23 and CT scan (computed tomography) revealed R2 had fracture of the left medial acetabular wall and admitted to the hospital for treatment. Hospital records for R2 dated 12/3/2023 documented R2 was admitted due to multiple fractures found after falling at the nursing home on [DATE]. The multiple fractures were documented as a fractured left acetabular medial wall, iliopubic junction fracture and pubic rami Fracture. The Long Term Care Facility-Serious Injury Report (dated 12/3/2023) documented R2 returned to the nursing home on [DATE], was non-weight bearing on her left lower leg and R2's bed enabler was re-secured to her bed for bed mobility. R2's hospital discharge records dated 12/4/2023 documents the following in part, (R2) who is mostly (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
