Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on review of clinical records, and facility documents, and staff interview it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure each resident received the required mobility assistance using assistive devices to
prevent accidents that resulted in actual harm of the right lower leg for one of eight residents reviewed
(Closed Record Resident CR2). This deficiency is being cited as past non-compliance.
Findings include:
Review of Resident CR2's clinical record revealed an admission date of 7/26/23, with diagnoses that
included broken left lower leg, lack of coordination, abnormal gait and mobility, falls, and muscle wasting.
Review of hospital discharge records dated 7/24/23, included a Closed fracture of left fibula (lower leg)
assessment and plan indicated, Patient is partial weight bearing due to distal fibula/ankle fracture. Patient
with assistance of caregiver can pivot between bed to chair, wheelchair, and commode with Sit-to-Stand or
patient would be confined without the use of a Sit-to-Stand.
Review of physician's orders revealed the following orders for Resident CR2: 7/26/23- weight bearing full;
7/26/23- short air cast boot; 7/27/23- transfer with a stand-up lift; and 7/27/23- weight bearing as tolerated
with use of walking boot for transfers.
Review of Resident CR2's clinical record revealed a nurse aide tasks record dated 7/26/23, that identified
Resident CR2 was to be transferred with extensive assistance of two staff. The nurse aide task record did
not include the current 7/27/23, physician orders for the use of a stand-up lift for transfers.
Review of departmental progress notes dated 8/03/23, revealed that Resident CR2 was working with
therapy and was yelling out and grimacing, and his/her right foot was bruised, swollen, and rotated outward.
X-rays from 8/03/23, revealed new buckle/angulated fractures of both bones in the right lower leg.
The facility began an investigation on 8/03/23, and determined that the therapy order dated 7/27/23, to
transfer Resident CR2 using the stand-up lift was not transcribed to the nurse aide tasks and that staff were
transferring him/her with extensive assistance of two people. The facility initiated a whole-house audit of
residents with transfer orders and identified and reconciled an additional 18 resident transfer orders. Facility
obtained statements from staff who provided care to Resident CR2.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0689
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of facility documents revealed that the facility conducted licensed nursing staff education on
8/04/23, related to proper transcription of resident mobility orders into the nurse aide 'tasks' portion of the
electronic health records.
Interviews on 8/16/23, at 12:40 p.m. and 1:05 p.m. with the Therapy Supervisor, Director of Nursing, and
Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that they were reviewing all new transfer orders in morning meeting
and ensuring that the orders are consistent in the electronic health record and nurse aide tasks. The facility
identified an opportunity for error during the entry of new therapy transfer orders, and that corporate
scheduled additional training for therapy staff to enter transfer orders in the nurse aide tasks when they are
entered into the electronic health record. Facility has also educated therapy staff on entering new transfer
status orders into the nurse aide tasks in the electronic health record.
This deficiency is being cited as past non-compliance. The facility has demonstrated compliance with the
transcription of resident mobility orders since 8/04/23.
