The note stated Resident #28 thought she hit her head but denied pain. Vital signs were obtained and were stable. LPN #207 stated due to the resident not remembering if she hit her head, emergency medical services were called so she could go to the emergency room and get scans of her brain. Review of the nursing progress note dated 06/22/24 at 5:12 P.M., Nurse Practitioner (NP) #206 stated Resident #28 had an unwitnessed fall and was sent to the hospital prior to the staff calling her.

LPN #207 assessed her and noted she had a scratch on her left forearm that was bleeding. Resident #28 was responsive, oriented to person (which was her baseline) and vital signs were stable. Resident #28 stated she was not sure if she hit her head. LPN #207 stated she chose to send the resident to the emergency room as she was unsure if the resident had hit her head. The investigation stated family and the on-call nurse practitioner were notified after Resident #28 was sent to the emergency room due to the need for an emergent transfer.

He stated when he was updated the nurse stated she had performed an initial exam and did not find anything visibly wrong with his mother. He stated the nurse sent her to the emergency room to be examined because she did not know if Resident #28 had hit her head. He stated he would not have sent her out to the hospital and he believed the trip to the emergency room was worse on his mother than the fall itself. Resident #28's son also stated he was not updated on the X-ray order on 06/18/24 nor when the results were received. Interview on 07/09/24 at 12:29 P.M. with NP #206 verified she was the on-call nurse practitioner on 06/22/24. She stated the nurse on duty, LPN #207, called her after she had sent Resident #28 to the hospital. She stated she wouldn't have sent Resident #28 to the hospital had she been notified prior. She stated Resident #28 should not have been sent to the hospital as it was not an emergent situation. She stated Resident #28's vitals were stable, neurological checks were within normal limits and she only had a skin tear to her left forearm. She stated LPN #207 should have contacted hospice prior to sending her out to the hospital as well. Interview on 07/09/24 at 1:40 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #28 was a hospice resident. He stated he did not know why LPN #207 sent her to the emergency room prior to calling hospice or her POA. He verified her vital signs were stable.

Interview on 07/09/24 at 4:41 P.M. with LPN #207 verified she was the nurse on duty on 06/22/24 when Resident #28 fell. She stated it was the first and last day she had worked at the facility as she was an agency nurse. She stated she did not know Resident #28 and due to the resident having dementia and being unable to tell her if she hit her head, she decided it was an emergent situation. She verified Resident #28 had stable vital signs, was able to state her name and had no pain. She verified Resident #28 stated she did not know if she hit her head. LPN #207 stated after she sent Resident #28 to the hospital, she then called NP #206 and the resident's son.
