Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, interview, facility policy and procedure review, self-reported incident (SRI) and investigation review, the facility failed to ensure bilateral bed bolsters (long firm narrow cushion used to prop, position and/ or support) were in place per the physician's orders and care plan prior to completing bed mobility and incontinence care resulting in Resident #63's fall with significant injuries. Actual Harm occurred on 01/31/24 at approximately 11:00 A.M. when Resident #63, who had a physician order to have bilateral bed bolsters to her mattress and was dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADL), was provided incontinence care by Agency State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #600 and fell from her bed face down onto the floor resulting in having a neck injury, a tennis ball sized hematoma to the forehead, closed fracture of the nasal bone, closed nondisplaced fracture to her right wrist, contusion of the chest and abdominal wall, and skin tear to the right elbow. Resident #63 stated she requested Agency STNA #600 put her bed bolsters back on prior to providing care, but Agency STNA #600 did not listen to her and instead proceeded without the bolsters in place and pushed her too far over in bed resulting in her falling out of the bed. This affected one resident (#63) out of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility identified 13 residents (#17, #24, #30, #31, #37, #39, #52, #59, #63, #64, #70, #81, and #94) who had physician's orders for bed bolsters. The facility census was 96. Findings Include: Review of the medical record for Resident #63 revealed an admission date of 12/19/23 and diagnoses included asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney disorder, anxiety, colitis, and osteoarthritis.

Interventions included check and change every two hours and as needed, transfer with two-person assist for safety, and assist with ADL as needed. Review of the undated care plan revealed Resident #63 had impaired skin integrity. Interventions included turning and repositioning every two hours while in bed and low air loss mattress with bilateral bolsters. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #63 had intact cognition as her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) was a 13 of 15 .

She revealed Agency STNA #600 had gone in the room at the same time to provide Resident #63 incontinence care. (Agency STNA #600 was the only other staff member in the room providing Resident #63's care). While in the bathroom she heard a loud commotion, and Agency STNA #600 stated Resident #63 was on the floor. Agency STNA #607 went to get the nurse. Interview and observation on 02/23/24 at 9:26 A.M. revealed Resident #63 was lying on a low air loss mattress with bilateral bolsters and had a large hematoma to the center of her forehead, bruising covering almost her entire face of all different colors: yellow, brown, purple, and blue. She had a black splint on her right wrist. Resident #63 revealed when she went to the doctor's appointment, the paramedics removed the bolsters so that they could move her from the bed to the stretcher. When she returned, she told Agency STNA #600 to put her bumpers back on her bed before she changed her. Agency STNA #600 was in a big hurry and would not listen to her. Agency STNA #600 started changing her by pushing her over towards the doorway. Resident #63 told Agency STNA #600 to stop but she kept on pushing her until she fell out of bed onto the floor. Resident #63 fell on her face and broke her wrist.

Interview on 02/23/24 at 12:27 P.M. with the Director of Nursing revealed Resident #63 had gone on an appointment on 01/31/24 and at that time the paramedics removed the bolsters because they were moving her from the bed to the cot. When Resident #63 returned from the appointment the bolsters were not put back on. She verified in Agency STNA #600's witness statement that Resident #63 had requested her bed bolsters be put on. She verified Agency STNA #600 provided care including rolling and incontinence care without the bed bolsters in place resulting in Resident #63 falling out of bed.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few #600 denied pushing Resident #63 stating, Resident #63 rolled on her own and did not require assistance.

Interview on 02/23/24 at 3:00 P.M. with Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) #610 revealed she had provided Resident #63's therapy. Resident #63 required maximum assistance of one for bed mobility as she felt comfortable rolling her side to side by herself but with bed bolsters in place.

Interview on 02/27/24 at 9:03 A.M. with RN #605 revealed she was assigned Resident #63's unit on 01/31/24. Staff had alerted her that Resident #63 had fallen out of bed.

They carefully rolled her over and she noticed a large hematoma to her front forehead, bruising already forming to her bridge of her nose, and her nose bleeding. NP #606 was in the facility, examined, and ordered her to go to the hospital for evaluation. Resident #63 stated Agency STNA #600 had rolled her right out of bed. RN #605 noticed after Resident #63 went to the hospital that she did not have her bed bolsters in place. RN #605 revealed Resident #63 had a doctor's appointment previously in the day and felt when she went to that appointment her bed bolsters were removed and not put back in place when Resident #63 returned. Interview on 02/27/24 at 9:38 A.M. with NP #606 revealed she was in the facility when Resident #63 fell out of bed. When NP #606 went to assess her, they had already gotten her back in bed. Resident #63 had tennis ball sized hematoma to her forehead and bruising already forming on her face. NP #606 was concerned because the resident was on blood thinners, so ordered her to be sent to the hospital for evaluation. Resident #63 was alert and stated that she told the aide to put her bolsters on before performing care, but that the aide did not listen to her. The aide then provided incontinence care, and she rolled her out of bed onto the floor. Interview on 02/27/24 at 9:57 A.M. with RN #604 revealed he was the nurse on duty 01/31/24 when Resident #63 returned from the hospital. He revealed she had a large hematoma to her forehead, bruising all over her face, her right eye was almost completely shut, right wrist fracture, and contusions to her abdominal and chest wall region. RN #604 revealed she had not talked about the incident, just that she was tired. Interview on 02/28/24 at 10:15 A.M. with the DON revealed the facility utilized many agency staff including nurses and STNAs. She was asked how agency staff were educated to prevent a similar incident. She stated, there was really no answer. There is really no answer like if they are here, I try but no I have nothing in place to ensure agency staff are educated prior to working especially regarding ensuring bed bolsters were in place and proper turning and repositioning during ADL care. She verified they had not figured out an effective training program to prevent another issue by agency staff. Review of the facility policy labeled, Fall Management and Incident Intervention Protocol, dated July 2022, revealed residents would be assessed as to their risk of sustaining a fall and interventions would be implemented to decrease the incidence of resident's incidents including falls ad to minimize the risk of injury. The policy revealed any interventions would be added to the resident plan of care and would be communicated to relevant nursing staff.
