F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few sides. Transportation Associate #118 claimed she thinks it was caused by the foot peddle but could not identify exactly where or how since she was pushing the resident forward the peddle should not have hit her like that. When she looked at the leg, it looked just like a small scratch where the very top layer of skin was pulled up. Almost like if you had a sunburn and started to peel. That very small, thin layer of skin. No bruising or bleeding or swelling was noted. She took the resident into the appointment and afterwards was told that the wound doctor looked at the area and put a bandage on it. Resident #49's daughter took photos and when she showed her it appeared the area had bruising around it which was not what she saw when it first happened. The wound clinic nurse was able to tighten the foot peddle up so there were no further issues. Transportation Associate #118 claimed she notified the facility when she returned but they were already made aware due to the daughter calling and telling them about it. It was late that day so the DON requested her to write up a statement and place it in her mailbox to be reviewed the following day. No education was provided or anything else that she could recall. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00160855.
