Level of Harm - Actual harm Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a nurse reported a potential injury promptly to another nurse or physician. This applies to 1 of 3 (R1) residents reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 10. This failure resulted in R1 experiencing a delay in care/assessment and experiencing increased pain. Residents Affected - Few 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 (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.

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.
