Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to safely transfer and immediately report a fall for one (R22) of seven residents reviewed for risk of falls in the sample of 34. This failure resulted in R22 falling against the toilet during a one assist transfer and sustaining a rib fracture with resulting pain. This past noncompliance occurred between 6/17/23 and 7/12/23. Findings include: R22's Face Sheet documented an admission date of 6/10/23 and diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Diabetes Type 2, and Heart Failure.

This nurse reported to (V8) which had called to check up on resident which was the Medical Doctor that gave orders to get xray. This nurse called (V11, POA/Power of Attorney) to inform them of the results. This nurse did let (V8) know that resident was doing normal activities when this nurse got results back and went to check up on pain level, but resident was participating in church activity. At this time resident has (as needed) Tylenol as ordered for the pain. A Fall Investigation dated 6/17/23 at 5:30pm documented, Residents POA approached this nurse regarding this resident experiencing a significant amount of pain in the left side rib area. POA stated to this nurse that she spoke to (V10, Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) and (V10) stated to POA that she (V10) was trying to transfer the resident by herself and was unable to transfer her completely and sat her roughly on the toilet. This was not reported to the nurse (me) until the POA brought this to my attention. I assessed the resident in the area she was complaining of pain in. I did not note any significant marks on the resident at the time.

R22's Physicians Orders for June 2023 and July 2023 documented an order for Acetaminophen Extra Strength Oral Tablet 500 mg (milligrams), give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain.

V10 stated she does not know why the 6/17/23 Nurses Note stated the resident was being transferred from the shower chair to the wheelchair. V10 stated she was aware R22 was to be transferred with two staff. V10 stated after the incident, all staff were re-educated that R22 is to always be transferred by at least two staff members, and falls are to be reported immediately.

V9 stated R22 has no known history of osteoporosis, and there was no sequelae associated with the fall except complaints of pain relieved by Tylenol. V9 stated to her knowledge, R22 had no previous rib fractures and no previous complaints of rib pain. On 7/26/23 at 2:35pm, V1 (Administrator) stated all nursing and CNA staff were re-educated that R22 is to be transferred with two staff, and falls are to be reported immediately to the charge nurse.

V1 stated V2 (DON) met with V10 three times weekly and provided transfer observation on the floor which occurred without incident, and V1 stated V10 has met her re-training objectives. V1 stated V10 is a seasoned CNA, and a dependable employee and administrative staff believe there will be no further issues with V10 performing unsafe transfers. On 07/27/23 at 8:33am, V11 (POA) stated she came to see R22 around lunchtime on 6/17/23. V11 stated R22 began complaining that her left side hurt.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few forward and cough to try and clear her throat. V15 stated R9 ultimately spit up/vomited and chunks of cantaloupe came up. V15 stated at that time she was not aware of R9's diet orders but when she checked with speech therapy, she confirmed she was supposed to be receiving pureed fruit other than bananas. V15 stated after R9's choking incident she listened to her lungs to ensure she hadn't aspirated any food. V15 stated she believed there was a new dietary staff in the kitchen that had passed R9's lunch tray that day and apparently was not aware of the orders. V15 stated for the next 2 days a respiratory assessment was performed on V9 with negative findings. R9's Respiratory Assessments dated 06/26/23 and 06/27/23 were reviewed with no residual effects documented after R9 choked on the pieces of cantaloupe. On 07/26/23 at 12:41 PM, V12 (Dietary Aide) stated, It was my first 3-4 days of working in the dining room by myself and I was very unfamiliar with who eats what and at that time we did not have a supervisor over us. I was going based off another lady's word. I had asked V14 (Former Cook) if I was able to give (R9) cantaloupe because she was asking for it. I had not been trained and did not really know it had to be pureed. The nursing supervisor was upset and brought it to our attention that (R9) was not supposed to have cantaloupe that was not pureed. We were educated on the orders and talked to about the incident. When asked if she had looked at the meal card that day, V12 stated she just missed where it said, pureed fruit other than bananas because the meal card was confusing. When asked if she knew the difference between the different texture consistencies such as mechanical soft versus puree and how to ensure the correct food was on the resident tray, V12 stated, I do now. On 07/26/23 at 12:57 PM, V7 (Dietary Manager) stated, I started here about 3 weeks ago as the Dietary Manager. I think the staff coming into this were not well educated on the differences in mechanical soft versus pureed. I am not aware of when (R9's) order was put into place, but cantaloupe would not have been appropriate unless it is puree as ordered. On 07/26/23 at 1:19 PM, R9 stated she does remember choking on the cantaloupe on 06/26/23 but confirmed she has no residual effects from that incident. She stated, It just happened and has not happened since then. On 07/26/23 at 1:49 PM, V2 (DON) confirmed R9's dietary card did document she was to have pureed fruit (other than bananas) on 06/26/23 but stated the cantaloupe had not been pureed as ordered that day. On 07/26/23, V1 (Administrator) provided documentation outlining the actions taken by the facility prior to this survey date to correct the noncompliance. Prior to the survey date, the facility took the following actions to correct the deficient practice: 1. An IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting was held on 06/26/23 at 1:53 PM with the following management staff - V2 (DON), V5 (LPN/Wound Nurse), V15 (LPN), and V17 (ST - Speech Therapy). a) Summary of IDT meeting: Resident was observed holding her throat and choking in the dining room.
