and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on a review of facility policies, investigative reports, clinical records, and staff education records, as
well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from
neglect for one of two residents reviewed (Resident 1), resulting in a dislocated shoulder.
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding abuse and neglect, dated March 14, 2024, indicated that every resident has
the right to be free from verbal, sexual, physical, and mental abuse; corporal punishment; and involuntary
seclusion.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 1, dated September 17, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired
and was dependent on staff for all daily care needs.
A nursing note for Resident 1, dated November 17, 2024, at 12:11 p.m., revealed that Resident 1 was
exhibiting increased behaviors and requested something for pain.
A nursing note for Resident 1, dated November 18, 2024, at 3:30 p.m., revealed that she had multiple
scattered bruises on her upper arm measuring 15.0 centimeters (cm) x 8.5 cm and the arm was painful
with touch.
A nursing note for Resident 1, dated November 19, 2024, at 11:28 a.m., revealed that the bruise on the
resident's upper arm was larger and the arm was more swollen. The resident was complaining of increased
pain. New orders were received for an x-ray of the left upper arm.
The x-ray report for Resident 1, dated November 19, 2024, at 12:22 p.m., revealed a dislocated left
shoulder.
Review of the facility's investigation for Resident 1, dated November 19, 2024, revealed that on November
14, 2024, Resident 1 was yelling and resisting care. A witness statement by Nurse Aide 1, dated November
20, 2024, revealed that she observed Nurse Aide 2 force Resident 1's left arm above her head, back
against the bed, and then force the arm back to a normal position while putting on her deodorant. Nurse
Aide 1 stated that she immediately observed a deformity in Resident 1's left shoulder and that the resident
was complaining of pain, as well as tingling in her fingers. The investigation by the facility determined that
Nurse Aide 2's forceful movement of Resident 1's arm caused the dislocated shoulder.
