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
observation, medical record review, Self-Reported Incident (SRI) review, review of hospital records, facility
investigation review, personnel file review, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to
ensure Resident #10 was transferred in a safe manner and as per the resident's assessed/planned needs
to prevent an avoidable accident resulting in major injury.
Actual harm occurred on 09/08/24 when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #400 attempted to transfer
Resident #10, who required the use of a mechanical lift for transfers, out of bed without an additional staff
assisting and using the resident's walker. This improper transfer resulted in Resident #10 falling backwards
onto the bed, striking her right elbow on the metal bed frame causing pain, a decrease in function of the
resident's arm, swelling, redness, warmth and scattered bruising. An x-ray of the right elbow was completed
on 09/09/24 and revealed a displaced fracture of the distal humerus (the long bone in the upper arm
located between the shoulder joint and the elbow joint. The distal portion of the humerus joins with the
bones of the lower arm at the elbow joint). The resident was subsequently transferred to the hospital for
treatment and orthopedic consultation. This affected one resident (Resident #10) of two residents reviewed
for falls. The facility census was 46.
Findings Include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #10 revealed admission date 02/21/23 with diagnoses including
heart failure, type two diabetes mellitus, anxiety, depression, and difficulty with ambulation.
Review of Resident #10's care plan initiated 02/21/23 revealed an alteration in self - mobility related to
heart failure, difficulty in walking, and need for assistance with personal care with interventions to assist
with bed mobility, transfers and ambulation.
Review of Resident #10's Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 08/29/24,
revealed the resident had severely impaired cognition and required substantial/maximum (staff) assistance
for mobility and bed/chair transfers.
Review of hospital records, dated 09/01/24, revealed Resident #10 had been transferred to the emergency
room due to a nosebleed which could not be controlled or stopped at the facility. Enroute to the hospital,
Resident #10 had several episodes of bloody emesis. Resident #10 returned to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleed and anemia.

infection control measures during incontinence care for a resident. This deficient practice affected one
resident (Resident #13) of three residents reviewed for incontinence care. The facility census was 46.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
An observation on 10/20/34 at 11:00 A.M. revealed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #322 and CNA #209
completing incontinence care for Resident #13. CNA #322 had a basin with warm water sitting on the
bedside table with a bottle of personal hygiene soap. CNA #322 placed the used washcloth on the bedside
table. CNA used one washcloth to wash Resident #13's front peri-area and groin area, once washing was
complete CNA #322 placed the used washcloth on the bedside table without a barrier. CNA #322 then took
another wet washcloth and rinsed Resident #13's front peri-area and groin area, once completed CNA
#322 placed the used washcloth on the bedside table. CNA #322 took a towel and dried the area, placing
the towel on the bed sheet at the foot of Resident #13's bed. Resident #13 was rolled onto the left side;
CNA #322 then took the two wash cloths which were used to clean the front peri-area and groin area for
Resident #13 and washed and rinsed Resident #13's buttocks and was dried with the same towel. Once
CNA #322 completed the incontinence care of Resident #13, the used washcloths and towel were placed
on the bed sheet at the foot of the bed. CNA #322 removed the left-hand glove to retrieve a trash bag and
grabbed the used washcloths and towel with the bare left hand and placed them into the trash bag. CNA
#322 then donned a glove on their left hand without washing or sanitizing hands and applied preventative
cream to Resident #13's buttocks. CNA #322 then removed the water basin from the bedside table and
then returned the bedside table to the end of the bed. Water was observed on the bedside table. CNA #322
wiped up the water with several tissues but did not disinfect the bedside table.
A review of the medical record for Resident #13 revealed an admission date of 11/20/12 with diagnoses
including stroke, high blood pressure, Bell's Palsy, and right sided weakness. Resident #13 had moderately
impaired cognition, was always incontinent of bladder and bowel, and was receiving hospice services.
Resident #13 was dependent on staff for personal care and hygiene to be completed.

barrier cream to peri-area and bilateral buttocks twice daily and as needed (PRN) may keep at bedside,
CNA may apply.
An interview on 10/30/24 at 11:15 A.M. with CNA #322 confirmed there were only two washcloths used to
complete incontinence care for Resident #13, their bare hand removed soiled linens from the bedside table
and the foot of the bed, and their hands were not washed or sanitized prior to donning a new glove, and the
bedside table was not disinfected after soiled linens placed on the surface without a barrier.
An interview on 10/30/24 at 12:15 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the expectations of the
facility staff is to use multiple washcloths while completing incontinence care, the use of gloves, washing
hands, and disinfecting the equipment used during the procedure. The DON stated CNA #13 should have
followed infection control procedures while completing incontinence care for Resident #13.
