The findings include:
On 2/20/2024 at 10:56AM, V5 Registered Nurse (RN) said on 1/27/2024 she could see [R1's] right foot
stuck behind the front wheel of the wheelchair. V5 said [R1] did say oww while her foot was stuck behind
the wheel. V5 said [R1] did complain of pain upon palpation of the leg. V5 said she did not see any swelling
at that time. V5 said she moved [R1] down to the nurse's station she was working at to watch the patient. V5
said she was not the primary nurse for [R1] that day. V5 said she did not report the information to [R1's]
primary nurse. V5 said she told V8 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) about the incident when (V8) came to
get (R1) approximately 30 minutes after the incident occurred. V5 said she should have told [R1's] primary
nurse about the incident and the resident's complaint of pain.
On 2/20/2024 at 11:12AM, V7 CNA said [R1] was sitting at the nurse's station for approximately 20-30
minutes before V8 came to get [R1] and take her back to her unit.
On 2/20/2024 at 1:09PM, V6 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) said around 3:00-3:30PM she could see [R1]
sitting down by the other nursing station. V6 said she asked V8 to bring [R1] back down the hallway to keep
an eye on her. V6 said V8 reported the resident was complaining of pain. V8 said [R1] had right knee
swelling that was clearly visible and appeared twisted. V8 said she went to find V5 and ask her what
happened. V8 said V5 told her [R1's] foot had got stuck behind the front wheel of the wheelchair. V8 said
she notified V2 Director of Nursing right away and an order for an x-ray was obtained. V8 said the stat x-ray
was taking a long time, up to 45 minutes. V8 said [R1] was placed back in bed via (mechanical) lift from the
wheelchair and further assessed [R1's] leg. V8 said the swelling appeared to be worse after removing [R's]
pants. V8 said she contacted V2 again and [R1] was sent out after calling 911 via EMS (emergency
medical) transport. V6 said [R1] didn't complain of much pain while sitting in her wheelchair.
On 2/20/2024 at 11:43AM, V2 said if anything changes with the resident or seems wrong there should be
an assessment completed. V2 said oww would indicate a resident is hurt or something is wrong. V2 said
following the assessment if any swelling or pain is noted the physician should be notified for further orders,
tests, or to send the resident out of the facility.
R1's progress notes dated 1/27/2024 states around 3:15PM the resident was brought back to the unit

prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview and record review the facility staff failed to safely transport a resident in a wheelchair for
1 of 3 (R1) residents in the sample of 10 reviewed for accidents/incidents. This failure resulted in R1
experiencing a femur fracture.
The findings include:
On 2/20/2024 at 11:12AM, V7 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said on 1/27/2024 she was in a resident's
room when she heard the door alarm going off. V7 said she left the residents room and saw [R1] trying to
leave the facility out the back door. V7 said she approached [R1] to prevent her from going outside because
it was cold and icy that day. V7 said [R1] became agitated and began hitting her. V7 said she was able to
turn around [R1's] wheelchair and started pushing her down the hallway. V7 said there were no foot pedals
on [R1's] chair because she self-propels down the hallway on her own using her feet. V7 said [R1] began
trying to put her feet on the floor to stop the wheelchair from going and putting her feet behind the front
wheel of the wheelchair. V7 said she tried to redirect [R1] from putting her feet down but she kept putting
her feet down. V7 said [R1] tried to throw herself out of the wheelchair. V7 said she put her arm around [R1]
to prevent her from falling. V7 said she couldn't see the angle of [R1's] foot because she was behind the
resident.
On 2/20/2024 at 10:56AM, V5 Registered Nurse (RN) said on 1/27/2024 she saw [R1] trying to get out of
the back door. V5 said she came up to [V7] pushing [R1] down the hallway in the wheelchair. V5 said [V7]
caught [R1] from falling forward in the wheelchair by putting her arm around her. V5 said she could see
[R1's] right foot stuck behind the front wheel of the wheelchair. V5 said [R1] did say oww while her foot was
stuck behind the wheel.
On 2/20/2024 at 12:36PM, V4 Doctor said the resident was admitted to [a local area hospital] on 1/27/2024
and found to have a fractured femur. V4 stated the x-ray report read a commuted displaced fracture of the
distal femur shaft. V4 said it was a nasty break. V4 said the type of fracture [R1] sustained was not
pathological and there would need to be some type of mechanical force to create it. V4 said [R1] needed
surgery to repair her broken femur.
On 2/20/2024 at 11:43AM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) said if a resident was becoming combative and
putting their feet down on the ground while pushing their wheelchair staff should stop and get help. V2 said
the resident is at risk of catapulting out of the chair and staff should get additional help. V2 said stopping
and getting additional help would be done to keep the resident safe.
R1's progress notes dated 1/27/2024 stated Resident admitted for closed fracture to distal end of right
femur.
R1's Care Plan dated 1/29/2024 states [R1] has thrown herself out of her wheelchair when agitated. [R1] is
able to slowly self propel in wheelchair throughout the facility. [R1] is a CNA safe lift transfer x2 assist for all
transfers.
The facility's Policy for preventing accidents and incidents, not dated, states the resident environment
remains as free of accident hazards as is possible; and each resident receives adequate supervision and
assistive devices to prevent accidents.
