F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #200 and another STNA transferred Resident #24 from the bed onto shower chair. Resident #24 crossed her right foot over her left foot due to weakness of the right leg. STNA #200 then proceeded to push Resident #24 from her room to the shower room in the shower chair. While pushing Resident #24 down the hallway, the resident's right foot came off the left foot and got stuck under the shower chair. STNA #200 stopped pushing the shower chair, then pulled the chair back to get the resident's right foot out from under the shower chair. STNA #200 reported that when she asked the resident if she was in pain the resident pointed to her right foot. Review of the physician's visit note, dated 10/05/23, revealed Resident #24 was seen on 10/05/23 for evaluation of the right ankle. The resident apparently twisted the ankle and notes pain in the right ankle. There was swelling of the right ankle compared with the left ankle and the resident had pain with inversion and eversion of the ankle. The documented assessment/plan included right ankle swelling, could be related to previous stroke but also consider possibility of fracture. Will obtain two view x-ray. Review of the radiology report, dated 10/07/23, revealed an acute medial malleolar fracture and possible distal fibular fracture of the right ankle. Observation on 10/27/23 at 10:32 A.M. revealed Resident #24 was lying in bed and had an orthopedic boot in place to the right lower leg, ankle, and foot. Resident #24 was interviewed at the time of the observation regarding the incident on 10/05/23 and stated They hurt me before becoming tearful and falling back asleep. Interview with STNA #200 on 10/27/23 at 11:15 A.M. revealed on 10/05/23 she had transferred Resident #24 from the bed to the shower chair in the resident's room. STNA #200 then assisted Resident #24 to place her right leg over her left leg, as the resident had right sided weakness and had to use her left leg to support the right leg during transfers in the shower chair. STNA #200 further stated while she was pushing Resident #24 down the hallway in the shower chair, the resident's right shoe came off and the resident's right leg fell and became stuck under the shower chair. Resident #24 exclaimed Ow! and STNA #200 immediately stopped, backed up the shower chair, and got the resident's right foot out from under the chair and placed it back on Resident #24's left leg until they reached the shower room. The deficient practice was corrected on 10/13/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On 10/05/23 the medical director was notified of the incident and assessed the resident. • On 10/06/23 all facility shower chairs were taken out of service until staff education was completed. • On 10/06/23 the Director of Nursing (DON)/designee educated all nursing staff regarding not using shower chairs for transport and monitoring foot placement during transport.
