Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review, facility Self-Reported Incident review, hospital record review, and
review of the facility policy the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive fall risk assessment with
individualized interventions was in place for Resident #83 and failed to timely assess and properly treat the
resident after a fall.
Actual harm occurred on 04/29/24 when Resident #83, who was at risk for falls did not have individualized
interventions in place to address the risk, fell in her room and was not thoroughly assessed before being
returned to bed. This resulted in the resident experiencing severe pain to her leg and a delay in immediate
treatment. The resident was subsequently transferred to the emergency room for treatment of a femur
fracture requiring surgical repair. This affected one resident (#83) of three residents reviewed for falls. The
facility census was 122.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #83's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/10/24 and a readmission date
of 05/08/24. Resident #83's diagnoses included displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur, type
two diabetes mellitus without complications, rhabdomyolysis and bipolar disorder, current episode
depressed, mild or moderate severity.
Review of Resident #83's handwritten Preadmission Fall Review dated 04/10/24 included yes was checked
for mental status, but the document did not specify as indicated if Resident #83 was confused, had
delirium, had altered level of consciousness, disorganized thinking, memory or cognitive impairment, or
poor safety awareness. Mobility was checked, but the document did not specify as indicated if Resident #83
had ataxia, unsteady, shuffling gait, ambulated with assistance of one person, had balance impairment or
was unable to transfer, ambulate. The Preadmission Fall Review further included if yes was checked for
either category of mental status or mobility the resident was considered high risk and appropriate
interventions should be implemented. A preliminary review of pre-admission medical information revealed
factors that might place the resident at a greater risk for falls. Please note the following interventions made
by therapy and nursing in an attempt to decrease the risk of falls. The area stating what the risk factors
were was not completed. Immediate Fall Prevention Interventions circled were bed in lowest position.
Review of Resident #83's handwritten Therapy-to-Nursing Communication Form dated 04/12/24 revealed
the front of the form was not completed, and the back of the form had a [NAME] Fall Risk Questionnaire
which was completed, but unsigned. The Questionnaire included Resident #83 had a fall or near fall in the
past year. Resident #83 felt uneasy or unsteady when walking down the aisle of a supermarket or in an
area congested with other people. Resident #83 took medication for depression, anxiety, nerves, sleep or
pain.
Review of Resident #83's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #83 was cognitively intact. The assessment also noted Resident #83 had a fall within the last
month of her admission to the facility.
Review of Resident #83's care plan (initiated 04/10/24) included Resident #83 was at risk for falls related to
impaired balance, muscle weakness, med use, debility, and impaired mobility. Resident

ambulating without assistance and fall prior to admission at home and also in hospital. After interviewing all
staff and residents no abuse or fall was suspected. Resident #83 had the ability to self-transfer, ambulate
and get herself off the floor. Resident #83 was receiving therapy services (PT, OT, and ST) and was
ambulating in therapy up to 100 feet.
Residents Affected - Few

facility reported Resident #83 had an injury of unknown source. The SRI included Resident #83 did not
provide meaningful information when interviewed. The Administrator was notified Resident #83 had a
fracture of unknown origin. Resident #83 complained of RLE pain and when interviewed she stated she fell
at home. The facility obtained an x-ray which showed a fracture. The nurse practitioner (NP) gave orders to
transport Resident #83 to the emergency room for further evaluation from orthopedics. The facility was
obtaining hospital notes prior to nursing home admission to see if Resident #83's fracture was prior and
RLE complaint of pain was present. Resident #83 had an extensive social history, APS involvement, unsafe
and unsanitary living conditions. Resident #83 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status of 14 (cognitively
intact), and stated she fell at home but the facility was not aware of fracture prior to admission. Resident
#83 received surgery to repair the fracture and would return to the facility. The SRI revealed all nurses and
State Tested Nursing Assistants (STNAs) assigned to care for Resident #83 were interviewed and all staff
denied Resident #83 fell as well as any other events taking place. The facility believed the incident
happened at home (prior to the 04/10/24 admission) as Resident #83 described or while at the hospital
prior to admission to the facility.

Review of Resident #83's physician progress note dated 05/13/24 written by NP #339 included on 04/29/24
Resident #83 was sent to the emergency room after a fall with RLE pain, an x-ray showed right
intertrochanteric femur fracture. Resident #83 underwent CMN on 04/30/24. Resident #83 returned to the
facility for rehab.
Observation on 05/29/24 at 5:04 P.M. revealed Resident #83 was lying in bed, the lights were dim and
observation of her window blinds revealed a couple slats were broken and large pieces of the blinds were
missing.
During an interview with Resident #83 on 05/29/24 at 5:04 P.M. the resident revealed she fractured her hip.
Resident #83 stated (on 04/29/24) she got out of bed, she was standing and went to hang her clothing on a
chair and fell down. Resident #83 stated she broke her blinds when she fell. The resident stated she laid on
the floor and knew she broke something when she fell. Resident #83 stated a guy came into her room,
picked her up, was not gentle, put her in bed and he really hurt her as he was putting her in bed. Resident
#83 stated her fall happened between 12:00 A.M. and 1:00 A.M. Resident #83 stated she did not remember
anyone coming in her room after that, her call button was not in her reach and she could not activate it to
call for help. Resident #83 indicated she did not know how long she laid on the floor before the guy came in
and put her to bed. Resident #83 stated later in the day the paramedics were called and she was taken to
the hospital.
During a follow-up interview with Resident #83 on 05/30/24 at 9:54 A.M., the resident revealed she had told
the staff about her fall at the facility (on 04/29/24), how she was standing in her room, turned around and
fell, and the aide picked her up and roughly put her in bed. Resident #83 stated she did not tell the staff she
fell at home. Resident #83 again stated after the aide put her back in bed no one came in to see how she
was, and that surprised her because she thought a nurse would come in to see if she was okay. Resident
#83 stated she was in a lot of pain and her hip hurt so bad. Resident #83 indicated she was trying to
remember what the male aides name was, but she could not remember.
An interview with STNA #257 on 05/30/24 at 3:30 P.M. revealed she was assigned to care for Resident #83
on 04/29/24 but she could not recall an incident with Resident #83 on 04/29/24 and did not know anything
about Resident #83's injury.

work at 7:00 A.M. LPN #341 stated she got report, counted and was preparing for the med pass when an
unidentified aide yelled for her to go to Resident #83's room because she was having pain. LPN #341
stated Resident #83 was having pain and it was obvious her leg did not look normal, it was turned in and
did not look right. LPN #341 indicated she barely touched Resident #83 leg and the touch caused severe
pain. LPN #341 stated she called the nurse who worked night shift, but the nurse had no knowledge of any
incident regarding Resident #83, and said nothing was reported to her. LPN #341 stated she told NP #339
there was definitely something wrong with Resident #83's leg and obtained an order for an x-ray. LPN #341
stated she asked Resident #83 what happened and Resident #83 said at around 2:00 A.M. she fell and was
on the floor and a guy that helped everyone helped her up, but she did not know his name. LPN #341
stated she told Unit Manager (UM) #200 that Resident #83 fell, was on the floor and a male aide helped her
off the floor and put her back to bed. When asked why she did not include Resident #83 had a fall, was
found on the floor and helped back to bed by a male aide in her witness statement regarding the incident,
LPN #341 stated she was told to write a statement of what she found when she got to Resident #83's room,
so she only put that and not what Resident #83 told her. LPN #341 stated that was why she did not write
anything else about Resident #83's fall and assistance back to bed by a male aide.

by. STNA #228 stated before Resident #83's incident on 04/29/24 Resident #83's leg was not painful to
touch or turned in. STNA #228 stated he wrote a witness statement stating he had no knowledge of

facility or that Resident #83 said she fell and a male helped her back to bed. The DON indicated Resident

A.M. by a nurse who just came on shift. NP #339 stated the nurse told her Resident #83 had fallen

recall having any information about a fracture at home before she was admitted to the facility. NP #339
stated in her previous visits with Resident #83 before the fall on 04/29/24 she did not remember her leg
being internally rotated or painful to the touch. NP #339 stated she read the hospital records and Resident
#83's assessment when she arrived to the ED, and the assessment was not what Resident #83 had prior to
her fall. NP #339 stated her leg did not look like that prior to the fall on 04/29/24.

was conducted, everyone was interviewed, and no one admitted to picking Resident #83 off the floor and
putting her back to bed. RDCS #342 stated she did not know how Resident #83 fell and got herself back to
bed. When Resident #83 returned to the facility they made sure all interventions were in place and the
facility ruled out abuse. RDCS #342 indicated she talked to the therapy department staff and was told
Resident #83 was ambulatory and could walk 100 feet. RDCS #342 stated she did not know what truly
happened. RDCS #342 confirmed Resident #83 did not have a fall risk evaluation completed when she was
admitted to the facility. RDCS #342 indicated the handwritten Preadmission Assessment was completed by
therapy and was usually completed by nursing or therapy or both.
Review of the facility policy titled Fall Prevention and Management, references were State Operations
Manual 2017 and included residents would be assessed for fall risks on admission, quarterly, after any fall
and as needed. If risks were identified, preventative measures would be put in place and care planned. All
falls would be reviewed and investigated. Providers would be consulted regarding risks and interventions,
feedback, and any further approaches.
