F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Telephone interview with NP #400 on 01/21/25 at 9:45 A.M. revealed the nurse (RN #219) had called her to notify her of Resident #19's fall and that she was having hip pain. NP #400 said she ordered a STAT (immediate) hip x-ray. NP #400 was not aware that the x-ray had not been taken until 12/26/24 at 12:00 P.M., approximately 17 hours after the injury was noted. Telephone interview with RN #224 on 01/21/25 at 3:04 P.M. revealed on 12/26/24 after receiving morning shift report she went straight to Resident #19's room. RN #224 noticed Resident #19 was in more pain than she usually was. Resident #19 was also very soiled due to being incontinent. RN #224 and two aides transferred Resident #19 to bed utilizing a tarp. Once Resident #19 was in bed they provided incontinence care and put her in clean and dry clothing. Resident #19 was due for her scheduled pain medication which RN #224 administered. RN #224 was surprised Resident #19 had not been transferred to the hospital prior to this time because RN #224 observed the right leg was externally rotated and she had a fractured hip. Once the x-ray results were faxed to the facility Resident #19 was transferred to the hospital around 1:00 P.M. Interview with the Regional Nurse on 01/21/25 at 5:45 P.M. confirmed Resident #19 fell on [DATE] at 7:20 P.M. and did not receive the STAT hip x-ray until 12/26/24 between 11:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. Review of the facility's Change of Condition policy, revised April 2013, revealed a change of condition was defined as a deterioration in the health, mental, or psychosocial status of a resident related to a life-threatening condition, a significant alteration in treatment, or a significant change in the resident's clinical condition or status. Life threatening conditions include broken bones. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00160893.
