**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of hospital reports, review of facility investigation, and interview, the facility failed to
ensure a safe and proper wheelchair transport resulting in a fall. This affected one resident (#7) of three
residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 113.
Findings include:
1. Medical record review revealed Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including dementia, chronic kidney disease, protein-calorie malnutrition, weakness, failure to thrive, and
atrial fibrillation.

Residents Affected - Few
floor. The resident hit the left side of her head. Staff immediately notified the nurse who came and took the
resident's vital signs and did everything else.
Review of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #46's Witness Statement, dated 05/03/24, revealed STNA #48
informed the nurse that Resident #7 had slid out of her wheelchair and had fallen while being transferred in
her wheelchair. The nurse observed the resident lying face down with a swollen and bleeding area noted to
the resident's left forehead. The resident was crying from pain with distress and the hospice nurse and 911
were called. The resident was taken to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation.
Review of a nursing progress note, dated 05/08/24, revealed the interdisciplinary team (IDT) met to discuss
the fall on 05/03/24 at 8:00 P.M. The STNA was escorting Resident #7 to her room when the resident slid
forward out of her wheelchair. The STNA immediately notified the nurse. Bleeding was noted to the left
forehead and a clean, dry dressing was applied. The STNA and nurse assisted the resident from the floor
with a gait belt. Pain was noted to the resident's head. Resident was sent to the ER for evaluation and
treatment. The intervention initiated was to make sure footrests are in place with resident transfers.
Review of the Emergency Department (ED) Note, dated 05/03/24 at 11:14 P.M., revealed the resident was
examined in the ED following a fall with a closed head injury and skin avulsion. Computed tomography (CT)
scans of the head and spine revealed no acute abnormalities. Bacitracin was the treatment administered.
The resident was discharged back to the skilled nursing facility.
Review of a nursing progress noted dated 05/06/24 at 1:10 P.M., revealed there was a skin tear to Resident
#7's left forehead resulting from the fall on 05/03/24. The area measured 1.5 centimeters (cm) by 2.0 cm by
0.1 cm with treatment in place.
Review of a nursing progress note, dated 05/06/24 at 1:10 P.M., revealed a nurse, Administrator, and
hospice social worker met with Resident #7's family members who had concern regarding the resident
falling over the weekend and being sent to the emergency room (ER) as her code status was do not
resuscitate-comfort care only. The family was told that the floor nurse used her nursing judgement due to
the inability to stop the resident's abrasion from bleeding. All scans were negative for any subdural
hematoma or brain bleed. The resident returned to the facility and neurological checks were resumed. The
resident's family were informed that the new intervention following the fall was for the use of the leg rest on
the wheelchair.
Interview on 06/04/24 at 12:30 P.M. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) (the Director of Nursing
was not present in the facility during the survey) revealed on 05/03/24 the resident was sitting in the
common area and the STNA was transporting her back to her room. The wheelchair's footrest was not in
use and the resident put her foot down and slid down the wheelchair onto the floor, sustaining a skin tear to
her head. The ADON confirmed there was no evidence of any documentation that a Dycem was applied to
the seat of Resident #7's wheelchair at the time of the fall. The ADON further confirmed this was a fall
intervention listed on the resident's care plan.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00153793 and
Complaint Number OH00153715.
