prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, hospital record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to provide
adequate two-person assistance with bed mobility for Resident #36 as assessed/planned resulting in an
injury.
Actual harm occurred on 10/05/24 when Resident #36 sustained a fractured hip when one staff member
(State Tested Nursing Assistant, (STNA) #110) was providing personal care for Resident #36. The resident
had been assessed/planned to require two staff members for bed mobility prior to the incident. During care,
the resident complained of extreme pain when the STNA lifted the left side of her body. On 10/07/24, the
resident was transferred to the hospital for follow-up care. An x-ray obtained on 10/07/24 identified the
fracture which the facility determined was caused by the single person bed mobility procedures with STNA
#110 on 10/05/24.
This affected one resident (#36) of three residents reviewed for accidents. The census was 90.
Findings include:
Record review revealed Resident #36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
multiple sclerosis, anxiety disorder, psychosis, major depressive disorder, quadriplegia, neuromuscular
dysfunction of bladder, vitamin B deficiency, contracture, insomnia, glaucoma, and osteoporosis.
Review of Resident #36's care card dated 09/20/24 revealed the resident required two-person assistance
with bed mobility.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #36 was cognitively
intact. The assessment indicated the resident was dependent on staff for bed mobility, rolling left and right
in bed.
Review of Resident #36's current care plan revealed the resident needed (staff) assistance with activities of
daily living (ADL). One intervention within the care plan revealed she needed assistance with bed mobility.
Another intervention within the care plan was for staff to follow the resident care card for assistance with
her ADLs.
Review of Resident #36's hospital records dated 10/07/24 revealed Resident #36 mentioned to the hospital
staff that when she was being transferred/moved in her bed on 10/05/24 when she felt a sharp pain to her
left hip. An x-ray was completed on 10/07/24, and confirmed she had a impacted displaced

subcapital left femoral neck fracture.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Review of a facility Self-Reported Incident (SRI) dated 10/07/24, revealed Resident #36 was lying in bed on
10/05/24, and used her call light to request assistance with moving from one side to the other while in bed.
State Tested Nursing Aide (STNA) #110 arrived to the resident's room and attempted to assist Resident
#36 with shifting her body from the left side to the right side. STNA #110 lifted Resident #36's left side of
her body by herself, so she could remove the pillow and move it to the right side of the resident's body.
During that time, Resident #36 expressed extreme pain when STNA #110 lifted the left side of her body.
STNA #110 asked if she wanted the nurse to assess her, but Resident #36 declined. From 10/05/24 to
10/07/24, the resident received pain medication as ordered. An x-ray was not completed until 10/07/24. The
results of the x-ray at the facility were inconclusive, so the resident was transferred to the hospital, where
those x-rays confirmed she had a fractured hip, which was caused during the single person bed mobility
procedures with STNA #110 on 10/05/24.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #107's interview statement dated 10/06/24 revealed Resident
#36 told her about the incident the night before (on 10/05/24). She stated the aide turned her hard and
quick, to the point that her left leg was not positioned correctly. LPN #107 confirmed she was still in pain.
LPN #107 asked Resident #36 would like an x-ray in the morning. She also told the nurse she did not think
she could attend her wound care appointment the next morning as it would be too painful to get on and off
the gurney. She was given medication for pain at that time and stated she would let the daytime nurse know
the next morning that they should get an x-ray.
Review of LPN #105's interview statement dated 10/07/24 confirmed Resident #36 told her about the
incident that happened on Saturday (10/05/24). She confirmed she had pain to her left side during the
incident. LPN #105 documented she assessed her left and found no evidence of visible injury. But she
contacted the nurse practitioner to report the incident and the pain; an x-ray was ordered for that day.
Review of STNA #110's investigation statement dated 10/08/24 confirmed she was assisting Resident #36
with moving a pillow from underneath her left side and was going to move it to her right side as part of her
turning schedule. She confirmed she was attempting to move the pillow from Resident #36 left side, and
Resident #36 yelled in pain. She did not move her anymore. She ended her statement with, I was not told
that 'Resident #36' required two people to assist her.
Review of STNA #106's interview statement dated 10/10/24 revealed she worked the morning shift of
Saturday, 10/06/24. She confirmed she was told by Resident #36 about the incident that happened the
night before (10/05/24) and how her leg was hurting. She reported the incident and pain to the nurse that
was working. She confirmed there was discomfort throughout her shift when they propped her up or moved
her for care. There was nothing listed in the statement that the physician was notified about the incident or
the resident's pain.
Interview with Resident #36 on 11/09/24 at 12:00 P.M. confirmed one staff person was assisting her when
she had requested to be turned/propped to the other side in bed. She stated it's usually two staff that would
come in and help, but she didn't know this aide and didn't know if she could do it by herself. She confirmed
she felt severe pain in her left leg/hip area as soon as the staff person (STNA #110) lifted her left side to
remove the pillow. Resident #36 confirmed she was in severe pain after the incident. She stated she did not
see a doctor, a doctor was not offered to her, and she did not receive an x-ray regarding her hip pain until
10/07/24. She confirmed she would have liked an x-ray sooner had it been offered. She stated the pain
didn't really stop, but she received her pain

medication as she typically takes it.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #105 and STNA #101 on 11/09/24 at 12:10 P.M. and 12:18
P.M. confirmed each time they go in to assist Resident #36 with transferring or moving in bed, they have
two people to assist. They confirmed that one person would lift the sheet that was underneath Resident
#36, and the other staff would grab/move the pillow.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with STNA #106 on 11/09/24 at 12:46 P.M. confirmed Resident #36 told her about the incident
that happened with STNA #110 and how it caused her a lot of pain. She confirmed she told the on-shift
nurse about the incident and the pain. She was not certain what all the nurse did, but the nurse did give the
resident as needed pain medication. She stated Resident #36 had pain, but in her opinion, she was always
in pain, so she didn't feel it was different than her typical pain. But she did confirm the pain seemed to be
more frequent than her typical pain, which was why she reported it to the nurse. She does not know if the
physician was notified during that shift; that would be the responsibility of the nurse.
Interview with LPN #107 on 11/09/24 at 12:49 P.M. confirmed she was told about the incident that
happened on 10/05/24 regarding Resident #36. She asked Resident #36 if she wanted to get an x-ray the
next morning; Resident #36 confirmed she would like that. She also stated she offered to send Resident
#36 to the hospital that night, but stated Resident #36 declined because getting on a gurney would hurt too
much. LPN #107 stated she was not given any information from the morning shift nurse at shift change
about an incident with Resident #36 or any extra pain. But LPN #107 stated she did not contact the nurse
practitioner or physician that night because, the x-ray technicians would not come to a facility on a Sunday
night.
Review of facility Condition Change Reporting, Residents policy, dated July 2015, revealed communication
with the physician, the resident, and/or the responsible party was maintained when there was a significant
change in condition and/or treatment. The physician, resident, and/or responsible party were notified when
the resident's physical, communicative, psychosocial, or functional status changes unexpectedly, the
resident is injured, or if treatment was significantly altered.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00159103.
