F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to complete a root cause analysis of falls and develop effective interventions to prevent falls and injury for one resident (R49) of six residents reviewed for falls in the sample of 19. This failure resulted in R49 falling and sustaining fractures to the left 6th, 7th, and 8th ribs. Findings include: R49's medical record indicates that he had a fall on 11/27/22. The progress notes of 11/27/22 at 12:48 PM indicates that R49 was found on the bathroom floor in lying position, leaning against the wall. 911 was called and R49 was transferred to a hospital.

Repeat CT at 9PM revealed stable right frontal and left parietal infarcts, decreased density periventricular white matter bilaterally consisted with chronic small vessel ischemic changes. The previously noted two mm small subdural hematoma seen on the previous CT was not seen on the follow up study. The documentation of the fall provided by the facility did not contain a root cause analysis. The root cause analysis was requested.

On 6/22/23 at 12:20 PM V28 (Nurse Consultant) said we did not identify the root cause for R49 for the falls. That could impact the interventions. The interventions added to the Care Plan on 11/28/22 are neuro (neurological) checks per protocol, assist with ADLs (activities of daily living) as indicated. Monitor for seizures and follow seizure precautions. PT/OT (Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy) evaluate and treat. A progress notes of 11/28/22 at 2:56 PM indicates a Fall Risk Evaluation score of 15 which means that R49 is at high risk for falls and should be on the fall prevention program. R49's medical record indicates that he had a fall on 5/11/23. The progress notes of 5/11/23 at 11:01 AM indicates that R49 was found on the floor of his room at around 8 AM.

V2 stated, the resident should be assessed to determine urgency. V2 stated, at first notification of tooth pain a care plan would be warranted.
