on 08/18/24 for further investigation and statement. On the morning of 08/18/24, the DON returned to the
facility and attempted to notify LPN #265 with no success. The DON then filed a police report with the local
police department for the missing narcotic medication. Resident #12's empty narcotic card for Percocet Oral
Tablet 10-325 mg was located in the paper shred box on A hallway, the card was noted to be empty of all
tablets, which did not reflect the count sheet total of tablets left at being eight. The empty narcotic
medication card matched the pharmacy prescription number located on the narcotic count sheet for
Resident #12.

prevent missing narcotic medications in the future. This new procedure detailed two nurses were to verify
and sign when a narcotic medication was completed and the count sheet was removed from the narcotic
count binder, the count sheet would be signed by the two nurses, upon verification of the empty card, and
the two nurses would sign the removal of the empty narcotic medication card and the completed count
sheet removal from the narcotic count binder. The DON stated LPN #265 was eventually interviewed on

the narcotic medication. RN #163 confirmed the DON had provided education to the nurse on 08/18/24 for
the new procedure.

the resident's plan of care for the falls dated 07/29/24 (a duplicate intervention to the fall that occurred on
07/28/24), 08/25/24 and 09/04/24.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the nurse progress note dated 09/05/24 at 8:29 A.M. (the first progress note entry after the
resident's fall on 09/04/24) revealed an order was received for STAT x-rays to the right hip, pelvis, femur and
knee due to complaints of increased pain. On 09/05/24 at 1:00 P.M. the facility was notified (by the x-ray
company) the resident sustained acute fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia and was transferred
to the emergency room (ER) for further evaluation and treatment.
Review of Resident #60's emergency room documents, dated 09/05/24, revealed Resident #60 was
diagnosed with a displaced fracture the distal (lower) right femur, a fracture of the neck of the right fibula,
and a possible fracture line of the right tibial plateau per x-ray of right leg and pelvis. Resident #60's Power
of Attorney (POA) requested to not pursue any surgical intervention for the fractures given Resident #60's
severe medical problems.
Review of Resident #60's Treatment Administration Record dated 09/01/24 to 09/05/24 revealed
documentation of completion for monitoring the personal alarm to the bed/chair to alert staff of unassisted
transfers, check for placement and function every shift.
Observation on 09/30/24 at 10:00 A.M. revealed Resident #60 resting in bed with an alert alarm pad in
place, a visual reminder to use the call light, and her call light was within reach.
Interview on 10/01/24 at 10:07 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #60 was at high
risk for falls due to a history of falls, unsteady gait, dementia, and being restless at times. The DON stated
Resident #60 was ambulatory with the use of a walker and would ambulate in the hallways of the facility
with staff assistance. At times, Resident #60 would not be content to sit in the recliner or lay in bed and
would be known to pack her suitcase with her belongings, verbally stating she wanted to leave the facility.
She also shared the resident was known to have increased restlessness in the evening/nighttime and she
had observed this when she sometimes worked the evening shift on the floor. The facility had moved
Resident #60 from her original room on the back hallway to a room closer to the nurses' desk and on a
higher trafficked hallway for better monitoring of Resident #60. The DON shared nurses were to assess the
resident, check for injuries, complete paperwork and notifications. If the nurse could not determine an
intervention to implement, they would contact the nurse on-call for ideas. The DON then stated the fall
would be reviewed in the risk meeting to make sure the paperwork is completed, and an intervention had
been implemented. Further interview revealed the resident had fallen on night shift, 09/04/24 and when she
(the DON) worked the floor as an aide on 09/05/24, we (she did not indicate who the other staff was) went
in to reposition Resident #60 for breakfast and she was complaining of her right leg hurting. The DON
stated she had the nurse call (the physician) for X-ray orders. The X-rays were completed and that is how
the facility learned the resident had fractures and she was sent to the ER for evaluation.
Interview on 10/01/24 at 11:35 A.M. with RN #163 revealed the process for completing a post fall
assessment, implementation of fall interventions and updating the fall care plans for residents had been the
responsibility of RN #163 to help with the administrative nurse's workload but her administrative job
responsibilities had been removed.
Interview on 10/01/24 at 11:45 A.M. with the DON confirmed Resident #60 did not have fall interventions
implemented for falls which occurred on 07/21/24, 07/28/24, 08/26/24 and 09/04/24. The DON stated there
should be interventions implemented for each fall that occurs with a resident. Further
