F 0689 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.
