F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few apparently had rolled off the side of the bed onto the floor. Resident #87's perception of how the incident happened revealed he fell out of the bed. The conclusion was loss of trunk control. Interview and observation with Resident #87 on 06/20/24 at 11:02 A.M. revealed on 06/01/24, STNA #229 had positioned him on his left side and stepped away and he rolled off bed. The resident verified there were no injuries. Resident #87 was sitting in his wheelchair in the book lounge. The resident revealed he had no control or use of his body from the chest down. Resident #87 was able to use his left hand to control his motorized wheelchair, but there was no movement in the lower extremities nor trunk. The resident's left lower extremity was amputated above the knee. Interview with STNA #229 on 06/20/24 at 11:14 A.M. revealed Resident #87 was in bed and she asked him if he would like to receive morning care and he shook his head yes. The resident was unsure if he had had a bowel movement and asked to get placed on his side. The STNA positioned the resident on his side so he could complete his bowel movement and went into the bathroom to retrieve towels. When she returned, he had rolled off of the bed and onto the floor. She stated the bed rail had been in the up position. STNA #229 immediately called for assistance. Review of the facility policy titled Managing Fall and Fall Risks, dated June 2023, revealed based on assessments, previous evaluations and current date, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00154549.
