known history of falls from bed.
Actual harm occurred on 04/20/25 when Resident #103 who had a severe cognitive impairment and
required extensive assistance from two staff for bed mobility sustained a fall out of bed resulting in
hospitalization and surgical repair for a nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture with of left femur when

injury related to confusion, deconditioning, gait/balance problems, incontinence, unaware of safety needs,
CVA with left sided hemiplegia, cerebral aneurysm, depression, anxiety, overactive bladder, adult failure to
thrive, muscle weakness as well as effects of medications as ordered. Interventions included anticipate
needs every shift, assure resident placed in middle of bed at all times, bed against the wall, bed to be in low
position when in bed, Dycem to seat of Broda chair, educate the resident/family/caregivers about safety
reminders and what to do if a fall occurs, encourage resident to participate in activities that will promote
exercise, physical activity for strengthening and improved mobility, fall evaluation per facility protocol, labs
as ordered, monitor for changes in gait and/or ambulation, assist with ambulation as needed, monitor for
any medication side effects and recent change in medication, abnormal labs, signs/symptoms infection and
pain as an increased risk for falls, report abnormal findings to physician, neuro-checks as ordered, nonskid
socks when wearing shoes while out of bed, notify family, physician and Director of Nursing (DON) of any
fall type incident as soon as possible, therapy to evaluate and treat as ordered or as needed, remind

Review of the resident's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident had a moderate cognitive deficit. The assessment indicated the resident was dependent on staff
for bed mobility.
Review of the fall investigation dated 03/20/25 revealed the resident had a fall from her bed and was found
to have no injuries.
Review of the resident's fall risk evaluation dated 03/28/25 revealed the resident was at risk for falls.

Review of left hip, unilateral with pelvis x-ray results dated 04/20/25 revealed a comminuted
intertrochanteric fracture was identified on the left. Mild inferior lateral displacement of the distal fracture
fragment was noted. The fracture does not involve the articular surface. Moderate to severe degenerative
changes were noted. The surrounding soft tissues were normal. Orthopedic hardware was noted on the
right. Conclusions: Intertrochanteric fracture, as detailed above, age undetermined.

Review of the progress note dated 04/26/25 at 8:17 P.M., authored by LPN #472 revealed the resident was
re-admitted to the facility with a surgical incision to the left hip and a bruise on the front of the left thigh. The
entry documented the resident had screamed out in pain when the nurse and aide tried to change her
incontinence brief. The on-call physician was notified and a new order for pain medication was obtained.
The entry documented the resident's bed was in the lowest position.
Review of the physician progress note dated 05/02/25 revealed the resident was being seen for fall with hip
fracture and weakness. The resident was hospitalized from [DATE] to 04/26/25 after a fall and found to have
a left intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fracture. The hospital course included a repair of the left hip
on 04/24/25. The resident was also found to have a wedge compression fracture of the thoracic T4 with no
surgical intervention.
On 06/09/25 at 10:11 A.M., an interview with LPN #530 revealed she was notified of the residents' fall the
day the fall occurred. The LPN revealed she was informed the resident rolled out of bed when CNA #800
failed to ensure the bed was in the lowest position and the fall mat was in place.
On 06/09/25 at 10:32 A.M., observation of Resident #103 revealed the resident was lying in bed on her left
side in fetal position. The resident had non-skid socks in place. The resident's bed was observed to be in
the lowest position and the bed mattress was next to the bed.
On 06/09/25 at 12:38 P.M., an interview with LPN #407 revealed he was the nurse on duty when Resident
#103 rolled out of bed. The LPN revealed CNA #800 laid the resident down after lunch and was providing
incontinence care. The LPN revealed the CNA left the room to retrieve disposable wipes from the supply
room and the bed was not in the low position and the floor mat was leaned against the wall. The LPN
revealed the resident rolled out of her bed while the CNA left the room and verified the resident's fall
interventions were not in place at the time of the incident. The LPN revealed he notified management
immediately and educated the staff on making sure fall interventions were in place at all times.
Review of the facility policy titled, Fall Management Guidelines, implemented 12/13/23 revealed a fall is
defines as unintentionally coming to resident on the ground, floor or other level with or without injury to the
resident, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force. The facility staff with the input of the
attending physician, will implement a resident centered comprehensive care plan that addresses the fall
management program, the goal for fall management, individualized interventions to address the resident's
modifiable fall risk factors, interventions to try to minimize the consequences of risk factors that are not
modifiable and the plan for reduction of risk and or risk for injury.
The deficient practice was corrected on 05/04/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective
actions:
•
On 04/20/25 at approximately 3:30 P.M. Resident #103 sustained a fall incident. An immediate resident
assessment was completed by LPN #407. The resident was medicated for complaints of left hip pain with
as needed analgesic. The resident's physician and power of attorney (POA) were notified of the incident
and a new order for an x-ray of the resident's left hip was obtained. LPN #407 educated Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) #800 on ensuring fall precautions were in place.
