Observation on 07/10/23 at 9:24 A.M. of Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #198 and STNA #108 assisting Resident #44 with transfer from bed to wheelchair, revealed STNA #108 assisted the resident with moving her legs over the side of the bed. ADON #198 and STNA #108 placed the lift sling around Resident #44 and connected the sling to the sit to stand lift. Utilizing the lift, STNA #108 provided Resident #44 with verbal cues to stand and STNA #108 guided the lift to the wheelchair while ADON #198 provided physical support to Resident #44. Interview at the time of the observation of ADON #198 and STNA #108 confirmed STNA #108 was the staff who noticed bruising on Resident #44 on the morning of 06/08/23. The source of the bruising was unknown. ADON #198 and STNA #108 were unaware of any falls or injuries that would have caused the bruising. Interview on 07/10/23 at 9:24 A.M. of the DON revealed bruising discovered on Resident #44 on 06/08/23 was consistent with the resident rolling out of bed and a new intervention to place a fall mat bedside was implemented. The DON confirmed, to the best of her knowledge, Resident #44 would have required assistance with getting up off the floor had she rolled out of bed and there were no reports the resident had fallen or rolled out of bed. Interview on 07/10/23 at 11:14 A.M. of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #190 confirmed Resident #44 had bruising to her left hand, right thumb, and left shoulder. LPN #190 stated the bruise to the right thumb was bad. LPN #190 verified the source of the bruising was unknown. While LPN #190 stated it was possible Resident #44 could have rolled out of bed, she would not have been able to get herself off the floor without staff assistance. LPN #190 confirmed there was no documentation related to Resident #44 falling or rolling out of bed. Interview on 07/10/23 at 3:04 P.M. of the Administrator and DON confirmed the bruising discovered on 06/08/23 was not reported to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) as an injury of unknown origin because the facility conducted an investigation and concluded the bruising was consistent with the resident falling out of bed. The Administrator stated the facility did not believe the bruising met criteria for an injury of unknown origin because they believed Resident #44 had an unreported fall, which explained the cause of the injuries. While staff who had worked on the memory care unit in the 24 to 48 hours prior to the discovery of the bruises were interviewed, there was no evidence Resident #44 had a fall or rolled out of bed. The Administrator and DON stated the facility conducted an investigation and on 06/21/23, provided staff education on falls.
