Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident's wheelchair had foot rests in place when transporting a resident for 1 (R1) of 3 residents reviewed for accidents in a sample of 3. This failure resulted in R1 falling forward out of the wheelchair, sustaining a head laceration requiring R1 to be transferred to the hospital, and receiving sutures to close the wound. This past noncompliance occurred from 11/18/23 to 11/20/23. Findings include: 1. R1's face sheet documented an admission date of 11/14/23. R1's Cumulative Diagnosis Log documented diagnoses including: anemia, osteoarthritis, basal cell carcinoma of lower lip, history of falls, obesity, Parkinson's disease, history of stroke, dementia, intraventricular hemorrhage. R1's 11/18/23 Minimum Data Set (MDS) documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 99, indicating severe cognitive impairment.

V3 said R1 was starting to get fidgety, and she was going to assist R1 to the nurse's station. V3 said she was pushing R1 down the hall in his wheelchair with no foot pedals present when R1 put his feet down and fell forward out of his wheelchair onto the floor. V3 said R1 was wearing a new pair of house shoes that had a good amount of grip. V3 said she called for a nurse to assess R1. V3 said R1 had a laceration to his forehead and was sent to the hospital. V3 said 11/18/23 was the first time she had cared for R1 and was not familiar with his needs. V3 said R1 was hard to understand and was not sure R1 could follow commands. On 12/7/23 at 12:40 PM, V10 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said on 11/18/23 she was standing at the nurse's station giving change of shift report when she heard a commotion in the hall.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm applied pressure. V10 said Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were called and R1 was transported to the hospital. V10 said if a resident does not propel themselves in the wheelchair they should have foot pedals on the wheelchair.

Residents Affected - Few On 12/7/23 at 11:37 AM, V4 (Physical Therapy Assistant) said she had evaluated R1. V4 said R1 was able to propel himself in his wheelchair. V4 said R1 sometimes was able to follow commands. V4 said if a resident was able to propel themselves, she would expect staff to remove the foot pedals from the wheelchair.
