interview and record review the facility failed to prevent an injury by failing to ensure a bed was in a low
position for one (R1) of three residents reviewed for falls on the sample list of three. This failure resulted in
R1 sustaining a laceration to the right forearm, a hematoma, and spinal fracture which required emergency
medical treatment.
Findings include:
The facility's Managing Falls and Fall Risk Policy with a revision date of 12/2021 documents that staff will
identify and implement relevant interventions to try to minimize serious consequences of falling.
R1's Care Plan initiated on 9/3/2019 documents that R1 was at risk for injury related to mobility status. This
Care Plan documents that R1 has a history of skin tears, bruises, and a history of falls. This Care Plan
documents an intervention for the bed to be in the lowest, most appropriate position when resident is
resting in bed.
R1's Incident report dated 4/14/2025 documents R1 was found on the floor next to the bed at 10:40 PM by
V9, Certified Nurse's Assistant. This report documents R1 had large laceration to the right forearm and a
large hematoma (bruised knot) to the right forehead. R1 was sent to the emergency room for evaluation.
This report documents V6, Licensed Practical Nurse found that R1's bed was not in the low position stated
in the Care Plan.
R1's emergency room summary dated 4/15/2025 documents that R1 had a fall out of bed that resulted in
broken bones to R1's spine and a contusion on R1's forehead. This report documents R1 required pain
medication (Norco) to relieve R1's pain from the injuries.
On 5/5/2025 at 1:37 PM, V9 stated he was doing his 10 PM resident checks and walked into R1's room and
saw her on the floor and immediately went and got the nurse. V9 stated R1's bed was in the high position
when he found R1 on the floor which isn't facility protocol. V9 stated that he was 6 foot tall, and the bed was
at his hip level. V9 stated he went and got V6 for help.
On 5/5/2025 at 11:37 AM, V6 stated on 4/14/25 around 10:40 PM, V9 came and told me that R1 was lying
on the floor. V6 stated when she walked into the room, R1 was laying on the floor next to the bed. V6 stated
that she noticed R1 had a pretty good-sized goose egg on her head from falling out of bed. The goose egg
was the size of a fist. V6 stated she called 911 and kept R1 on the floor in the same position. V6 stated that
