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
record review, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure proper positioning technique for
safe bed mobility was implemented which resulted in a major fall with injury. The facility also failed to ensure
a fall investigation was completed that included root cause analysis. This resulted in Actual Harm when
Resident #30, who was severely cognitively impaired, at risk for falls and dependent on staff for turning and
repositioning sustained a fall when two staff members were providing incontinent care and the resident fell
to the floor face first due to improper positioning technique. This affected one (Resident #30) of three
residents reviewed for falls. The census was 33.
Findings include:
Record review revealed Resident #30 was admitted of [DATE]. Medical diagnoses included anoxic brain
injury, anemia, hypertension, renal failure, pneumonia, diabetes, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia,
cardiac arrest, morbid obesity, encephalopathy, and need for assistance for personal care. She weighed
369 pounds.
Review of care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #30 was at risk for activities of daily living self-care
deficit related to anoxic brain injury damage and morbid obesity. Interventions were a two-person
assistance for bed mobility, toileting, transfers with the use of the Hoyer lift. Resident #30 had acquired
absence of the left leg below the knee, and she was ventilator dependent. She was at risk for falls with
injury due to an anoxic brain injury. The intervention was to ensure the resident's room was free from
accident hazards, providing adequate lighting ensuring there was no trip hazards.
Review of fall risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #30 was a high fall risk.
Review of quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #30 was
rarely or never understood. She was impaired to the lower left extremity. She didn't exhibit any signs or
behaviors. Her functional status was dependent on toileting, bathing, and bed mobility. Eating and transfers
were not attempted due to medical condition or safety concerns. She was always incontinent of bowel and
bladder. She used a mechanical ventilator, had a tracheostomy, feeding tube, and oxygen.
Review of the progress notes dated [DATE] at 5:00 P.M. revealed Resident #30 rolled from a wet mattress
to the floor. Care was provided by State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNA) #80 and #102. An assessment
was completed, and the physician was notified. Neurological (neuro) testing was initiated, and the results
were at baseline. There was swelling to the left eye. Her temperature was 97.3 degrees Fahrenheit (F),
pulse 64, respirations 18, blood pressure 90/57, and oxygen saturation was 94 percent. The resident was
transferred back to bed by a Hoyer lift and the family was notified. The neuro testing continued. On [DATE]
at 2:48 P.M., swelling to the left eye continued. On [DATE] at 5:30 A.M., Resident #30 was transferred to the
hospital.
A review of a witness statement from STNA #80 dated [DATE] revealed he and STNA #102 were cleaning
Resident #30 up and when rolling her onto her side she jerked and slid off the bed. STNA #102 tried to
slow her down and she was too much weight to hold. The STNAs moved the bed out of the way and alerted
the nurse.

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 9:35 A.M., STNA #80 stated he was helping STNA #102 with incontinence
care for Resident #30 on [DATE] around 4:45 P.M. He stated he was standing on the left side of the bed. He
grabbed the draw sheet and moved the resident toward him and then rolled her over to the edge of the bed.
He said her ventilator popped off. STNA #102 grabbed the ventilator hose to put back on the resident and
the resident went onto the floor hitting the left side of her face on the feed tubing pole and then to the floor
face first. He said he tried to grab her from across from the bed, but it happened so fast he couldn't reach
her. He stated STNA #102 tried to break her fall but couldn't.
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.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00159043,
