Based on medical record review, observation, resident interview, staff interview and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure residents were transferred in a safe manner and in accordance with the plan of care in order to prevent injury. This affected one (Resident #10) of three residents reviewed for assistance with activities of living (ADLs). The facility census was 68.
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #10 revealed an admission date of 06/26/21 with diagnoses included hemiplegia, cerebral infarction, aphasia, diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, major depressive disorder, and aftercare joint replacement surgery. Review of the physician order for Resident #10 dated 10/20/23 revealed the resident was a stand-pivot transfer with assistance of one staff using hemi-walker for transferring and could use a mechanical lift as needed every shift for transfers. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #10 dated 01/18/24 revealed the resident had moderate cognitive impairment, mobilized with an assistive device, and required the assistance of one staff with ADLs including transfers and showers. Review of the physician's order for Resident #10 dated 01/19/24 revealed the resident could independently transfer (stand pivot transfer) to the toilet but would call for help getting off the toilet and back to the wheelchair. Review of the shower sheet for Resident #10 dated 01/19/24 signed by State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #100 revealed the resident's skin was intact with no bruising noted. Review of the shower sheet for Resident #10 dated 01/22/2024 signed by STNA #100 revealed the resident had a red bruise to the right arm. Interview on 01/24/24 at 4:20 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #210 confirmed Resident #10 required the assistance of one staff with transfers, and staff should use a gait belt when transferring the resident to prevent injury. Review of the physician assessment for Resident #10 dated 01/25/24 revealed the resident was paralyzed to her right arm and had no pain sensation to the extremity. Resident #10 had a bruise observed to the right upper arm. Further review of the note revealed based on the location of the bruise it probably occurred while someone was helping the resident get off the toilet seat.
