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
Based on record review, observation, staff interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to
provide adequate supervision to prevent falls with injury. This resulted in Actual Harm to dependent
Resident #20 when a staff member who was providing incontinence care to the resident without additional
staff assistance turned away from the resident to discard cleaning materials and the resident fell from the
bed. Resident #20 sustained the following injuries from the fall from the bed: a scalp laceration which
required repair with sutures, a sternal fracture, a fracture of the left clavicle, a fracture of the second rib on
the left side, a closed fracture of the spinous process of the thoracic vertebra and the transverse process of
the lumbar vertebra. This affected one (Resident #20) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility
census was 66.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #20 revealed an admission date of 02/02/19 with diagnoses
including type two diabetes, hypertensive chronic kidney disease, dysphagia, cerebrovascular disease,
vascular dementia, psychotic disorder with delusions, osteoporosis, anemia, atherosclerotic heart disease,
gastro-esophageal reflux disease, osteoarthritis, glaucoma, hypertension and cardiomyopathy.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #20 dated 02/07/24 revealed the resident
was moderately cognitively impaired and was dependent on staff assistance for all activities of daily living
(ADLs) including toileting and bed mobility for which she required the assistance of two staff.
Review of the care plan for Resident #20 dated 02/08/24 revealed the resident was at risk for falls and/or
fall related injury related to wheelchair use, history of fall related injury, impaired vision, incontinence,
medication use, required use of a mechanical lift with transfers and had diagnoses of polyarthritis,
dementia, severe depression, and psychosis. The resident was dependent on staff and Hoyer lift for
transfers. Interventions included the following: Dycem to wheelchair under Roho cushion, use Hoyer lift for
all transfers, monitor, anticipate and intervene for fall risk factors, place call light within reach, encourage
call light use and answer promptly, provide environmental adaptations as appropriate, and assist with and
monitor positioning.
Review of the care plan for Resident #20 dated 02/08/24 revealed the resident had an ADL self-care deficit
and required total assistance of one to two staff with incontinence needs. The care plan was updated on
03/20/24 to indicate the resident required two staff for incontinence care.
Review of the fall risk assessment for Resident #20 dated 03/10/24 revealed the resident was at

moderate risk for falls and took medications and had diagnoses which contributed to her fall risk. The
residents' risk factors also included wheelchair use and disorientation.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the progress note for Resident #20 dated 03/20/24 timed at 6:58 P.M. revealed the aide notified
the nurse that the resident was on the floor on her left side next to the bed with a moderate amount of blood
noted on the floor. The nurse called 911 to transport the resident to the hospital.
Review of the fall investigative summary for Resident #20 dated 03/20/24 revealed during peri-care the
resident changed the position of her body causing her to roll from the bed. State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA)
#98 attempted to intervene but was unable stop the resident from falling out of bed. Staff assessed
Resident #20 for injury and called 911. Staff applied pressure to the resident's head laceration while
awaiting transfer to the hospital. Resident #20 returned with a head laceration and multiple fractures. New
interventions for Resident #20 were staff to ensure the resident was a two-person assist for peri care, and
her low air loss mattress was replaced with a standard pressure reduction mattress.
Review of the progress note for Resident #20 dated 03/21/24 timed at 1:52 P.M. revealed the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) met to discuss the resident's fall. The IDT determined the root cause of the fall
was the change to the resident's weight distribution on the low air loss mattress when the resident changed
positions during peri-care. The new interventions were replacing the mattress and ensuring two people
assisted the resident with peri-care.
Review of the hospital notes for Resident #20 dated 03/21/24 revealed the resident fell from the bed and
sustained a scalp laceration repaired with sutures, a sternal fracture, a fracture of the left clavicle, a fracture
of the second rib on the left side, a closed fracture of the spinous process of the thoracic vertebra and of
the transverse process of the lumbar vertebra.
Review of the progress note for Resident #20 dated 03/21/24 timed at 4:06 P.M. revealed the resident
returned to the facility with a laceration with sutures to the left side of her forehead, edema to the left side of
her face, bruising to her right arm and a sling on her left arm for clavicle fracture support.
Observation on 04/04/24 at 11:35 A.M. of Resident #20 revealed the resident was lying on a standard
mattress and had bruising to the entire left side of her face from her forehead and extending to her neck.
The bruising was brown and green in color and appeared to be fading. There was evidence of a laceration
to the resident's head which appeared as a dark circle to the left side of the resident's forehead. Resident
#20 was wearing a sling on her left arm and was unable to be interviewed due to cognitive impairment.
Interview on 04/04/24 at 2:10 P.M. with STNA #98 confirmed she was doing a routine check and change for
Resident #20 on 03/20/24. STNA #98 was holding onto the resident with one hand and giving peri care with
the other hand. STNA #98 confirmed she turned slightly to dispose of the wipe while still keeping one hand
on Resident #20 and felt Resident #20 start to slip. STNA #98 confirmed she tried to intervene and keep
Resident #20 from falling out of bed, but she was unable to prevent the fall. STNA #98 confirmed after
Resident #20 slipped to the floor she noted blood coming from the resident's head, so she called for the
nurse who assessed the resident and sent her to the hospital via 911. STNA #98 further confirmed
Resident #20 was supposed to be a two person assist for checks and changes, but they were short of help
that day and the care was provided at the shift change, so she

completed the task on her own. STNA #98 further confirmed she felt the resident's weight shift on the low
air loss mattress contributed to the fall and the facility got the resident a standard mattress after the fall.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Interviews on 04/04/24 at 4:40 P.M. with STNA #38 and at 4:50 P.M. with STNA #67 confirmed if a resident
had been determined to be dependent for toileting and incontinence care, two staff should provide
assistance, and the care should never be completed with just one aide.
Interview on 04/04/24 at 5:00 P.M. with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed
Resident #20 had a fall from the bed on 03/20/24 which occurred when STNA #98 was providing
incontinence care to the resident by herself without the assistance of an additional STNA. The
Administrator and the DON confirmed Resident #20 sustained the following injuries as a direct result of the
fall from the bed on 03/20/24: a scalp laceration which required repair with sutures, a sternal fracture, a
fracture of the left clavicle, a fracture of the second rib on the left side, a closed fracture of the spinous
process of the thoracic vertebra and the transverse process of the lumbar vertebra. Further interview
confirmed the facility's IDT met on 03/21/24 and made the decision to replace Resident #20's low air loss
mattress with a standard mattress and to update the resident's care plan to indicate Resident #20 required
the assistance of two staff with incontinence care. Interview confirmed prior to Resident #20's fall on
03/20/24 the resident's care plan indicated the resident required the assistance of one to two staff with
incontinence care and left it up to the judgment of the STNAs performing the care to determine if one or two
staff should be used.
Review of the policy titled Falls (undated) revealed the nurse and the physician would identify residents with
a history of falls and risk factors for falling. The nurse would complete a fall risk assessment for each
resident, and the staff, and the physician would identify pertinent interventions to prevent falls.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00152423.
