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** A. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide assistance in a manner to prevent falls for 2 (R5 and R10) of 6 residents reviewed for falls in a sample of 16. This failure resulted in R10 sustaining a large intracranial hematoma, left eyebrow laceration and a left periorbital hematoma and R5 sustaining a skin tear to right shin and right shoulder along with a forehead laceration requiring 4 sutures. Findings include: 1. R10's admission Record documents an admission date of 12/02/2019 with diagnoses including: acute cystitis without hematuria, unspecified Escherichia coli as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere, encephalopathy, hemiplegia affecting left non-dominant side, history of transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction without residual deficits, osteoarthritis right shoulder, cerebral infarction, other abnormalities of gait and mobility, other lack of coordination, blepharoconjunctivitis of the left eye, third nerve palsy of left eye, history of covid-19, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, aphasia following cerebral infarction, other symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following other cerebrovascular disease, dysarthria following other cerebrovascular disease, muscle weakness, repeated falls, other symptoms and signs involving the nervous system, disorientation, altered mental status, restlessness and agitation, weakness, history of malignant neoplasm of the brain, and epilepsy. R10's Minimum data Set (MDS) quarterly review dated 07/02/24 documents a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) of 14 indicating R10 is cognitively intact. R10's eating assistance is documented as: setup or clean-up assistance, oral hygiene as: supervision or touching assistance, upper body dressing as: substantial/maximal assistance and roll to right or left as: dependent. R10's Fall risk data collection form dated 9/24/24 documents a score of 29 indicating R10 was a high risk for falls. R10's hospital's discharge summary with an admission date of 09/10/24 and a discharge date of 09/24/24 documents: Hospital Course: Patient (R10) is [AGE] year-old with past medical history of brain tumor, seizure disorder, dementia, hyperlipidemia and hypothyroidism. She had a recent episode of nonresponsiveness at a SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility) unit and was sent in for altered mental status. Patient's (R10) baseline is that she is unable to ambulate and is wheelchair-bound. ER (emergency room) evaluation included CT (computed tomography) of the brain and CT brain perfusion with no evidence of ischemia chest x-ray no acute process CTA (computed tomography angiography) head neck indicated acute ischemia to the left anterior cerebral artery distribution could not be excluded. Her blood (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.

Resident admitted to hospital with DX (diagnosis) of intracranial hematoma without loss of consciousness. Returned to facility on 10/9/24 with hospice referral. Laceration above left eyebrow closed with steri -strips. Care plan reviewed and updated Residents Affected - Few On 11/27/24 at 8:24 AM, V22 (Certified Nurse Aide) stated, R10 could sit up, she had head and neck control, she would also scoot herself forward in her chair. V22 stated, on the day R10 fell out of her wheelchair (10/07/24) everyone was in the dining room. V22 stated she pushed R10 up to the table and positioned her up so that she could eat without choking. V22 stated she was up at the kitchen window getting R10's food so she could assist her and she heard R10 fall. V22 stated, she thought R10 fell sideways out of her chair because she didn't hit the table and the way she was laying on the floor. V22 stated, there were other CNAs in the dining room, but no one right next to R10. V22 stated, when R10 came back after, she believes she had a stroke, she was not as good, she was more confused, her speech was more slurred, she would fall asleep when they were assisting her to eat and she was switched to a thickened liquid and puree diet. V22 stated, she was educated after R10 fell to have her food in front of her before she puts her in the upright position. On 11/26/24 at 4:05 PM, V6 (Physical Therapy) stated she would expect someone to be there when R10's chair was in the fully inclined position. V6 stated R10 returned to the facility after her last stroke on 09/24/24 with multiple declines, she had low motivation to bend forward also. On 11/27/24 at 9:56 AM, V4 (Director of Rehabilitation) stated prior to 10/07/24 when R10 had her last fall, speech language was working with R10 due to her decline after her last stroke. R10 was lethargic and they changed her diet to honey thick liquids and puree food. R10 could support her head and trunk to a degree. On 11/27/24 at 10:10 AM, V25 (Therapy) stated she had evaluated R10 on 09/25/24. R10 would ebb and flow and sometimes she could be lethargic and obstinate during mealtime. She would expect her to have her food and then be put in the upright position in her wheelchair. They were currently working on core strength and reaching abilities with her. V25 stated R10 had recently been hospitalized just prior to her fall and she had more limited abilities. R10 was out for over 10 days, her wheelchair was changed to a wheelchair that looks like a recliner on wheels that the feet platform does not raise, her swallow function changed, she was no longer the same after the hospital stay. After the hospital stay she was deconditioned, she was very different than she was prior to her hospital stay from the stroke. R10's therapy note dated 09/26/24 documents: patient (R10) demonstrates L (left) lateral lean, sacral sitting, occasional anterior leaning forward in w/c (wheelchair) increasing fall risk. R10 presents with decreased alertness and does not respond to verbal cures for adjusting self in w/c, therapist can readjust and as day progresses R10 will have to have multiple repositioning in standard w/c. Provided R10 with tilt in space w/c and feature of recline back. R10 has foot board to provide support for BLE (both lower extremities) in neutral position.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few R10's progress note dated 10/07/24 at 5:30 PM documents: EMS (emergency medical services) here to transport resident to ER for evaluation and treatment for fall. R10's progress note dated 10/08/24 at 12:38 AM documents: called ER and spoke with nurse on update of resident. ER nurse reports resident is being admitted to the unit due to a brain bleed. R10's progress note dated 10/08/24 at 6:29 AM documents: spoke with ICU (intensive care unit) nurse. Resident admitted with intracranial hematoma without loss of consciousness. R10's hospital daily progress note dated 10/08/24 documents: subjective: has had some headaches but no new neurologic deficits from her baseline. Summary: [AGE] year old female with remote history of right temporal lobe tumor resection, previous stroke with residual speech and cognitive deficit, residual left-sided weakness, seizure disorder, dysphagia on modified diet, recently hospitalized with encephalophy in setting of covid infection, hyponatremia, UTI (urinary tract infection) found to have adrenal insufficiency, presenting back from nursing facility after sustaining a traumatic fall with noted large intracranial hematoma, along with left eyebrow laceration, and a left periorbital hematoma, Laceration repair in ED (emergency department). (R10's) aspirin and Plavix was stopped. (R10) was given platelets and DDAVP (desmopressin) following initial presentation. Neurosurgery consulted. Monitored further with serial neuro (neurological) checks. Follow-up CT (computed tomography) head appeared stable. R10's neurosurgery consultation dated, 10/08/24 at 7:21 AM documents: the patient (R10) is a 55 y.o. (year old) female who presented to the ED (emergency department) on 10/2024 after she fell out of a chair in her nursing home striking her head. She has a neurosurgical history that is significant for prior brain tumor resection, though no records are available and no family is at bedside to provide further information and she is a very poor historian. She apparently resides in a nursing home due to chronic left hemiparesis and cognitive difficulty. She fell from a chair to the floor at her facility, striking her head and sustaining a laceration. She was brought to the ED where a CT revealed intracranial hemorrhage, prompting neurosurgical consultation. She has been observed overnight in the ED due to a lack of beds in the ICU. She currently endorses headaches, however she has delayed speech and difficulty expressing herself at baseline. She will follow commands in all extremities with baseline left-sided weakness. Records from the nursing home state she takes ASA (acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)) and Plavix, though the reasons are unclear. She was given Platelets and DDAVP in the ED.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 11/27/24 at 3:06 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated when R10 fell in the dining room on 10/07/24 she was put in the upright position for eating and then the staff went to get her food from the window and she fell. V1 stated, she would have expected them to get her food, come back, and then put her in the upright position. R10's Death Certificate documents R10 died on [DATE] with the cause of death listed as intracranial hemorrhage. Other significant condtions contributing to death include: temporal lobe tumor, cerebrovascular accident with sided residual weakness and seizer disorder. The manner of death is marked as natural. On 12/04/24 at 11:38 PM, V30 (Nurse Practitioner) stated, her and V31 (Medical Director) had looked at R10's diagnoses and medical history extensively prior to taking R10 on as a patient. R10 has had a couple brain bleeds prior to the fall on 10/07/24. R10 had CVA residual affects from how the body heals and reroutes, therefore it was likely that she would have another CVA. R10 had CVA's prior. V30 stated, no she does not believe the fall on 10/07/24 hastened or exacerbated R10's death. R10 had a personal history of brain cancer, CVA's, and schizophrenia and that would probably lead R10 to have another cerebral infarction. Another CVA would cause her to fall. After her last hospital visit her and V31 were going to discuss with R10's family hospice care for R10. There is no way she would say the fall hastened or caused her death. R10's brain neoplasm was affecting her ocular nerve. Based on her history and disease process there is no way she can say that fall caused her death. Due to her past diagnoses with her current prognoses and the recent encephalopathy due to covid they can not say what all that would cause and would affect. There are many different variables with covid and how it has affected systems and exacerbated disease processes. V30 stated based on R10's history, disease processes and recent diagnoses there is no way she can say that event (the fall) caused her death her diagnoses and disease process was an affecting factor. 2. R5's admission Record documents an admission date of 09/11/2024 with diagnoses including: dementia, xerosis cutis, other atrophic disorders of skin, muscle weakness, acute kidney failure, full incontinence of feces, lack of coordination, urinary incontinence, altered mental status, and cognitive communication deficit. R5's MDS dated [DATE] documents a BIMS score of 00 indicating severe impairment.

A new intervention dated 10/18/24 included Side rails: quarter rails up as per V31's order for safety during care provision, to assist with bed mobility. Observe for injury or entrapment related to side rail use. Reposition PRN to avoid injury. R5's care plan documents a focus area of R5 is at risk for falls and has had an actual fall d/t generalized weakness, poor nutritional status, incontinence, history of falls with a date initiated of 09/12/2024 and an intervention of: place quarter rails to bed that can be placed in upright position during cares to prevent falls from air mattress.

The resident denied any other pain or discomfort, ROM (range of motion) assessed and was WNL (within normal limits). MD/POA informed. Orders to have resident evaluated in ER. The resident returned from ER with four sutures to her forehead. Orders to remove sutures in 5-7 days. Follow up with left ovarian mass. Investigation: The resident was seen in ER as stated above and returned to facility. During ER visit a CT scan of head, spine and pelvis was completed and was negative for any acute intercranial abnormality. CT of spine was negative for any acute cervical fracture. CT scan of pelvis incidentally showed an ovarian mass and constipation. Orders received to remove sutures in 5-7 days, order placed to remove on 10/25/24. The resident has had a pain level of 1-2 and denied need for any PRN (as needed) medications. Bruising is noted to forehead and beneath eye fading in color. The resident did have a BM (bowel movement) on 10/17/24. The resident has resumed her normal activities. The resident prefers to stay in bed and receive her meals and care in her room. The DON (Director of Nursing) had a discussion with the POA regarding the air mattress and changing her mother to a regular pressure reduction mattress, POA did not want to change mattress due to age and weight to prevent any skin issues. The DON offered quartered side rails up during provision of care. POA/daughter agreeable to quarter side rails. Bed kept in low position and call light in reach. Care plan updated with interventions. On 11/22/24 at 1:57 PM, V8 (Certified Nurse Aide/CNA) stated, she was providing care for R5 when she fell out of bed. V8 stated, R5 was in the middle of the bed and she rolled R5 onto her side, she is little and has never moved when providing care for R5 until she got these sores on her bottom. Previously when she would wipe her she would twitch or grunt but never move much. The day when she fell she was wiping her bottom because she had a bowel movement and she jerked and moved and rolled off of the bed. She would never roll before when providing care. R5 had always been a one person assist when providing care. After R5 fell, a second person would always go in to assist when providing care until she got her siderails. R5 can hold on to the side rails fine while providing care. R5's sores on her bottom have healed a lot so she does not jerk or twitch while providing care anymore. R5's bed is raised higher than the 18 inches or so off the floor when providing care, she would guess the bed would be approximately 2.5 feet off the ground. On 11/22/24 at 2:20 PM, V8 demonstrated to this surveyor the height of the bed when care would be provided, which was approximately 2.5 feet off the ground. On 11/22/24 at 2:20 PM, R5 was laying in the center of her bed she had approximately seven inches from her shoulders to the edge of the bed. On 11/22/24 at 4:25 PM, V9 (CNA) stated she had provided care for R5 before, and she had never moved before while providing care but she would swat at you on occasion. R5 did not have any sores when she had provided care for her.
