Interventions: keep items within reach, nonskid footwear, half siderail for bed mobility, maintenance to check the bed. The resident's family and physician were notified of the fall. Review of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) note on 12/15/23 at 10:18 A.M. revealed the IDT team met to review the fall on 12/15/23. While being assisted with toiletings needs, Resident #107 rolled out of bed onto floor. Resident #107 denied hitting his head. Risk factors included but were not limited to epilepsy, anxiety and bilateral below knee amputation (BKA). Immediate intervention: the resident was assisted back into bed with three-person assistance, evaluated by nurse, physician notified, and neurological checks were initiated. Locks on bed wheels were found not to be working properly. New intervention: a new bed and grab bars to both sides of bed. All parties were notified. Review of the Physician's Monthly Progress Note on 12/26/23 at 4:04 P.M. revealed Resident #107 was a new resident for the nurse practitioner (NP) at the facility. The musculoskeletal exam revealed no tenderness, normal ROM, and right lower leg edema (above the amputation). Interview on 02/08/24 at 10:42 A.M. the Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator revealed that during care the aide turned Resident #107 toward the wall, the bed moved away from the wall, and he rolled off. The resident was immediately assessed. Staff got him back to bed. That was when they noticed the lock was broken on the bed. The facility got him a new bed and had grab bars put on both sides. During that time the resident never complained of pain or said anything that indicated he wasn't feeling okay. The resident never complained of pain after that, or we would have had x-rays done. We did a re-education with the state tested nurse aide (STNA) about making sure the bed was locked before doing care and about how the need to turn a resident toward yourself, not away. Interviews on 02/08/24 from 12:19 P.M. through 12:48 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #302, LPN #303, LPN #304, and STNA #304 revealed all had been trained in fall prevention and in what to do after a resident fell. All residents were assessed by a nurse after a fall. None of the staff interviewed had heard Resident #107 complain of any pain in the days after his fall. The deficient practice was corrected on 12/16/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On 12/15/23 at 10:18 A.M. the IDT met to review Resident #107's fall. The interventions included a new bed and grab bars to both sides of bed. • On 12/15/24 at 7:09 A.M. the nurse assessed Resident #107 after the fall. The assessment at the time did not reveal any injuries. 365033 Page 2 of 3 365033 02/14/2024 Cedarwood Plaza 12504 Cedar Road Cleveland Heights, OH 44106
