The resident was not transferred to the hospital, the physician and responsible party was notified and resident had no pain. Review of Fall Risk Observation Tool dated 10/24/23 at 3:37 P.M. for Resident #10, revealed the resident was a fall risk and required a total mechanical lift for all transfers due to unable to bear weight, unable to cooperate, limited in movement and heavy or obese.

Resident #10 was being provided care by CNA #246 when the resident was moved over too far causing CNA #246 to lower him to the floor in room. The root cause of the incident was poor judgement of surface area on mattress and the interventions included an Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment. Review of incident log dated 10/24/24 at 5:40 P.M., revealed Resident #10 had a fall and lowered to the ground by staff member. Review of the fall investigation revealed a document titled Telephone Interview 10/24/23 and authored by Director of Nursing (DON). The statement indicated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #246 reported she was taking care of Resident #10 and during the morning rounds, she had to change the resident's sheets. CNA #246 reported that while the resident was on his left side (the resident's strong side), the resident started sliding out of the bed and onto the floor. CNA #246 reported she assisted the resident to the floor to prevent the resident from hitting his head. A second unknown STNA entered the room and CNA #246 left to get the nurse. CNA #246 reported after the nurse assessed the resident, the three staff members assisted the resident back in the bed. The investigation revealed no documented evidence of the resident's fall being thoroughly investigated and the appropriate interventions being implemented to prevent a similar incident. Review of the nurse's progress notes dated 10/26/23 at 2:04 P.M. for Resident #10, revealed the resident was noted with signs and symptoms of pain and swelling to the right knee. Resident #10 was assessed by Nurse Practitioner (NP) #501 and ordered an Xray of the resident's right knee and leg due to pain and swelling. Review of the nurse's progress notes on 10/27/23 at 6:50 P.M., revealed the x-ray revealed no acute fractures, dislocations were noted, and the surrounding soft tissues were normal, and results reviewed with physician. No new orders and resident's brother was updated. Interview on 11/07/23 at 4:01 P.M. with Nurse Practitioner (NP) #501 revealed she assessed Resident #10 on 10/26/23 which was two days after the fall. NP #501 stated the staff reported Resident #10 had low food intake and reports of pain in his right leg. NP #501 stated the right leg looked swollen and Resident #10 grimaced and pulled leg back when the right leg was touched. NP #501 stated the resident had an as needed (PRN) order for Tylenol (pain) in place and she ordered an order for an x-ray of the right knee. NP #501 confirmed she was not aware the staff failed to provide pain medication for Resident #10 at any time after his fall. Interview on 11/08/23 at 12:30 P.M. with the DON and Regional Clinical Nurse (RCN) #500 indicated Resident #10 had a witnessed fall and the facility determined the root cause analysis was poor judgement of the surface of the mattress while the staff was turning Resident #10.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few stated they were unable to say what this meant, and since RN/UM #252 wrote the root cause analysis, she could explain it better. The DON stated the facility does not get a statement from the on-duty nurses when a resident falls because the facility utilized the nurse's progress notes as the nurse's statement. The DON confirmed Resident #10's nursing progress notes revealed a third caregiver who assisted Resident #10 off the floor after the fall on 10/24/23, however the facility did not attempt to identify that staff member or obtain a witness statement from them. RCN #500 confirmed Resident #10 was dependent on two staff members for bed mobility and transfers. The DON verified CNA #246 was providing personal care to Resident #10 by herself when the resident fell out of his bed onto the floor on 10/24/23. Interview on 11/08/23 at 12:35 P.M. with the RN/UM # 252, revealed Resident #10's fall was due to poor judgement of the surface of the mattress while CNA #246 attempted to turn Resident #10 in the bed. RN/UM #252 stated CNA # 246 did not utilize the correct judgement of where Resident #10 was on the mattress during care, and this is why he rolled out of bed onto the floor. Interview on 11/08/23 at 8:01 A.M. with CNA# 246, revealed she provided personal care to Resident #10 and attempted to change his sheet on 10/24/23 when she rolled Resident #10 onto his weaker side, and he kept going and fell onto the floor. CNA #246 indicated she rolled the resident away from her and she was on the opposite side of the bed when Resident #10 fell onto the floor. CNA #246 confirmed she was the only staff member present during the incident. CNA#246 stated she got the nurse and another CNA, and they placed Resident #10 back into bed after lifting him from the floor. CNA #246 indicated the facility staff did not utilize a gait belt to get Resident #10 back into the bed. Review of the facility policy titled, Fall Prevention and Management, dated 06/01/22, revealed it is the policy of the facility to provide resident centered care that meets the psychosocial, physical, and emotional needs. The policy stated fall prevention and management is the process of identifying risk factors that can minimize the potential for falls and also a process to manage resident's care if a fall occurs. Further review of the policy revealed an investigation should include witness statements by having staff write a statement. The policy stated the fall interventions should be added to the care plan. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00148209.
