instructions.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
R1 was admitted in the facility on 10/12/23. R1 had right temporal parietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage
and was taken emergently for right craniotomy for hematoma evacuation on 10/3/23.
Hospital record on 10/17/23 hospitalization reads: Per Neurosurgery recommendation, R1 needs repeat CT
in approximately one week with follow up prior to determining whether to restart formal AC (Anticoagulant).

On 11/21/23 at 1:30PM, V4 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated V4 received a call from neurosurgery nurse and
instructed to have the INR in therapeutic level before the CT scan can be done. V4 stated V4 relayed this
call to V5 (Nurse Practitioner/NP), and V5 ordered to start R1 on warfarin 2.5mg.
On 11/21/23 at 2:20PM, V5 (Nurse Practitioner) stated, (R1) has an aortic valve replacement, goal is to
have INR of 2.5 to 3.5 and we have to play with the dose because INR was low. November 7, INR was 1.1

enoxaparin. V5 was on vacation when enoxaparin was started, and V5 knew the enoxaparin was added. V5
spoke to R1's attending physician, and agreed to keep the enoxaparin injection order along with warfarin,
because INR was not in therapeutic level. V5 denied communicating with neurosurgeon about

resulted in the use of a sit to stand device while providing incontinence care, contributing to R1 falling and
sustaining a right shoulder fracture.
Findings include:
R11's MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 7/7/23, notes R11's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score
is 15 out of 15. R11 is totally dependent on two persons physical assistance with transfers. R11 requires

performance deficit related to impaired balance. R11 has history of falls, limited balance and gait is
unsteady, and limited mobility. On 4/22/2021, use mechanical lift (sit to stand) for transfers was added. The
focus of this care plan was updated on 2/19/2022 to include discontinue sit to stand lift device now and use
full mechanical lift device due to bilateral shoulder pain.
R11's incontinence care plan, initiated 4/26/2017, notes R11 displays total bowel/bladder incontinence
related to impaired mobility. R11 is unable to stand without staff interventions. R11 with obesity, weakness,
and easily gets tired. The focus of this care plan was updated on 8/1/23 to discontinue use of mechanical lift
(sit to stand) due to shoulder injury, limited range of motion especially of right shoulder.
R11's falls care plan, initiated 4/26/2017, notes R11 is at high risk for falls related to incontinence, muscle
weakness, lack of coordination, and unable to stand without staff interventions.
On 12/1/23 at 1:10 PM, R11 who was assessed to be alert and oriented x 3, stated she is not able to bear
weight on her legs. R11 stated V36, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) was using sit to stand lift device, and
R11 fell hitting right upper arm and shoulder on floor.
On 12/1/23 at 11:55 AM, V27 (Rehabilitation Director) stated R11 was seen by skilled therapy from
February to March 2023. V27 stated at the time R11 was discharged from skilled therapy, it was
recommended R11 use full mechanical lift device.
On 12/1/23 at 1:20 PM, V8 (Restorative Nurse) stated R11 likes staff to use sit to stand lift device when
providing incontinence care. V8 stated R11 was assessed and is appropriate for full mechanical lift device,
not the sit to stand lift device. V8 stated residents have to be able to bear weight in order to use the sit to
stand lift device. V8 stated R11 let go of the bar on the lift device with R11's right hand, and the CNAs
lowered R11 to the floor. V8 stated V8 has educated R11 and staff regarding transferring R11 with full
mechanical lift device for safety reasons. V8 stated the fall was due to a judgment error of staff to use sit to
stand rather than full mechanical lift device.
