When transferring or changing R1, there should be two staff because R1 was not able to move her body to reposition herself or assist staff with turning herself or repositioning. V2 stated V9 should not have been cleaning R1 by herself because R1 was a two person assist resident, and maybe turning and repositioning R1 alone could have contributed to R1 falling and swelling (hematoma) on the forehead. V2 stated R1 was sent to the local hospital. Later that day, V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) called the local hospital and was informed R1 was admitted with diagnosis of right femur fracture. V2 stated the facility staff are supposed to follow residents care plans and keep the residents safe and prevent falls.V9 was in-serviced about repositioning R1 in the middle of the bed after R1 fell.

She was also on scheduled gabapentin 100mg (milligrams) three times a day. V10 stated she hopes staff monitor residents, so they do not fall to prevent any resident injuries. R1 should have been monitored to prevent falls.
