lying on his back on the floor in his room by the door. He was noted to have visible bruising starting on the
right side of his head, right upper arm, right forearm, right elbow and right knee. Resident #56 was
incontinent at the time of the fall. He was not able to answer questions appropriately, pupils were pinpoint
and non-reactive to light. Vital signs included a BP 142/108, pulse 56, respirations 10, oxygen saturation
73%, and temperature 96.9 degrees F. Resident #56 was last noted to be resting quietly in bed
approximately 30 minutes prior to the incident. He was wearing gripper socks on his feet. Resident #56
received oxygen at four liters per minute and his oxygen saturation increased to 97%. A skin and range of
motion assessment was unable to occur due to Resident #56 being immobilized for safety until the
paramedics arrived. The physician was notified and ordered Resident #56 be sent to the emergency
department (ED), Resident #56's responsible party was also notified. There was no documented evidence
of whether or not Resident #56 was wearing elbow protectors and when the resident was last toileted.
Review of the ED discharge instructions dated 11/25/24 at 2:18 A.M. revealed Resident #56 was treated for
a fall, an abrasion to the right arm and a closed head injury. Instructions were to follow up with his primary
care physician within two to four days.
Interview on 12/09/24 at 2:38 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #205 confirmed the facility did not
obtain witness statements for the fall investigations for Resident #56.
Review of Resident #56's care plan dated 12/09/24 revealed a new intervention which included assistance
with toileting between lunch and dinner was added after surveyor intervention.
Interview on 12/10/24 at 8:51 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the fall investigation for
Resident #56 did not include documented evidence that all interventions were in place or when the resident
was last toileted prior to the fall. The DON also verified a new intervention which included assistance with
toileting between lunch and dinner was not timely added to the resident's care plan after the fall that
occurred on 11/23/24.
Review of the facility policy titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated March 2018, revealed the facility
would monitor and document a residents' response to interventions intended to reduce falls or risks of falls
and reevaluate conditions and interventions as needed.
