F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm A review of a witness statement from STNA #120 dated [DATE] revealed he and STNA #80 went into the room to clean Resident #30. They went to roll the resident to her side to remove the linens and put new down and the resident coughed, and the vent popped off. STNA #120 grabbed the vent, and the resident slid off the bed and STNA #120 tried to catch her, and she fell to the floor. Residents Affected - Few Review of the witness statement from Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 56, dated [DATE] at 5:00 P.M., revealed STNA's #120 and #80 called her to Resident #30's room. Resident #30 was lying on the floor on her back. The resident had swelling to the left side of her head and face and her eye was swollen shut. Resident #30 was at baseline for cognition, pupils reactive, range of motion (ROM) was negative for pain and dislocation. After the assessment was completed, the resident was placed in a Hoyer lift and put back to bed and neuro checks continued. Review of progress note dated [DATE] at 11:57 P.M. revealed the admitting hospital diagnoses for Resident #30 were subdural hematoma and subgaleal hematoma. Review of the investigation report for Resident #30, dated [DATE], revealed STNAs #120 and #80 were providing incontinent care to the resident when they rolled the resident to the right side. The vent tubing disconnected, and the aide grabbed tubing when the resident continued to roll out of the bed onto floor, hitting the left side of her face. Vent tubing was reconnected, the nurse was alerted immediately, and assessment was completed with the physician on the phone. The resident was opening eyes with swelling noted to left eye brow. Range of motion was performed to all extremities without deficit, no deficit in pupils and they were equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation (PERLLA) from resident's baseline PERRLA. The resident has anoxic brain injury and only opens eyes at baseline, no signs of distress, to continue to monitor neuro checks and swelling. The family was made aware of the incident. Assisted up to bed with six staff members who assisted with the Hoyer lift. Resident monitored throughout night when swelling to face increased, the physician was in the facility on [DATE] at 5:30 A.M. to round and assessed the resident with an order to send to the hospital for evaluation. The scan was completed and revealed subdural hematoma and subgaleal hematoma. No root cause analysis for the fall was provided by the facility. Review of the discharge hospital records dated [DATE] revealed Resident #30 had fallen out of bed at the nursing facility. She hit her head, and the CT scan showed there was a small subdural hematoma and subgaleal hematoma. A repeat CT scan was done, and it showed the subdural hematoma changes were stable, and no surgery was planned. The resident was found to have lower lobe pneumonia, probable urinary tract infection and was also septic. The family met with the physicians on [DATE] at 4:02 PM. at the hospital and discussed the terminal prognosis and the family decided that living on life support was not acceptable for the resident. The resident expired on [DATE] at 6:30 P.M. During an interview on [DATE] at 7:40 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident #30 didn't expire because of the fall. It was identified at the hospital that the resident had a small subdural hematoma (that was stable) pneumonia and probable urinary tract infection. She stated the family decided to remove the ventilator and initiate hospice care for her. She stated the aides followed the care plan for two-person assistance and her investigation revealed the facility wasn't at fault for anything. She did acknowledge something happened in the room but wasn't sure what it was because she wasn't in the room the time it happened. She didn't know the resident was placed on the edge of the bed at the time of the fall either and didn't get that in her investigation. She revealed the interdisciplinary team (IDT) talked about a root cause analysis, but didn't write anything down in the record.

During an interview on [DATE] at 11:01 A.M., STNA #102 revealed he was the aide who provided incontinence care with STNA #80 on [DATE] at 4:45 P.M. He stated he was on the right side of the bed and was holding onto the resident when STNA #120 rolled her to him. He stated she was on the edge of the bed and his body was placed in the middle of the bed to the lower end of the bed, because that was where the most weight was. He said when she was turned toward him and she was up against his body, her ventilator tubing came out and she was gurgling and coughing. He reached behind her left shoulder, because the tubing fell onto the bed and when he reached, she fell onto the left side of her face into the feeding tube pole and tumbled to the ground. He said it all happened so fast. He said he went and got the nurse. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:03 A.M., the Medical Director (MD) 124 stated she remembered the staff calling her on the evening of [DATE]. She asked the usual questions when someone hit their head. The questions were how they fell, was the fall witnessed, did the resident strike their head, was their skin broken, was there any blood, injuries, medications the resident was on, and if the resident had loss of consciousness. She stated it was determined to keep the resident in the facility and do the neuro checks. She said the facility would need to call her service if they weren't able to do the neuro checks and they didn't call. She said Nurse Practitioner (NP) 126 came in the morning of [DATE] at 5:30 A.M. and the resident didn't look good. She called the physician and it was decided to send her out to the hospital. Review of the policy titled Falls Protocol, dated [DATE], revealed as part of an initial and ongoing resident assessment, the staff will help identify individuals with a history of falls and risk factors for subsequent falling.
