medical record review, fall investigation review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure
staff members exercised care and caution around residents following a fall incident and failed to ensure fall
incidents were thoroughly and accurately investigated. This affected one (#1) of three residents reviewed for
falls. The facility census was 69.
Findings Included:
Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed an admission date of 10/26/23. Diagnoses included
cellulitis of the left lower limb, sepsis with septic shock, non-pressure chronic ulcer of the left calf with fat
layer exposed, contusion of left lower limb, acute kidney failure, coronary artery disease and respiratory
failure.
Review of Resident #1's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident was assessed with intact cognition, required a substantial/maximum assist for all transfers, and
required oxygen therapy at all times.
Review of Resident #1's most recent care plan revealed the resident was at risk for injury related to falls
due to deconditioning, gait/balance problems, and psychoactive drug use. Interventions included to assist
with toileting and transfers, ensure the call light was within reach, and encourage her to use it before
attempting to transfer. Resident #1 was at risk for skin breakdown due to a history of chronic non-pressure
ulcer on left calf and immobility.
Review of Resident #1's nursing progress note dated 11/12/23 at 2:19 A.M. revealed the resident was found
by a nursing assistant lying on her left side. The resident indicated she was trying to get up and walk.
Agency Nurse #4 began to obtain Resident #1's vital signs when the nurse tripped over the resident's
oxygen tubing. When the nurse fell, the nurse stepped on Resident #1's leg causing a 20 centimeter (cm)
long by 3.0 cm skin tear on the resident's right lower leg. Resident #1 then sat up and vital signs were taken
which were stable. The resident's right lower leg was cleansed, wrapped with an absorbent bandage, and
wrapped with kerlix and a compression bandage. The on-call hospice nurse was contacted and was sent to
the facility to assess the resident.
Review of the fall investigation dated 11/12/24 revealed the investigation contained no information
regarding Agency Nurse #4 tripping over Resident #1's oxygen tubing and falling onto the resident causing
