Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
report injuries of unknown source as possible abuse and/or neglect for one of two residents (Resident
R108).
Findings include:
Review of the facility's Abuse - Resident and Reasonable Suspicion of a crime revision dated 2/7/23,
stated, Any injury should be classified as an injury of unknown source, when all of the following criteria are
met. The source of the injury was not observed by any person, and the source of the injury cannot be
explained by the resident, and the injury is suspicious, because of the extent of the injury or the location of
the injury. It further stated Alleged violations, whether or not confirmed, must be reported to the
administrator, Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Area Agency on Aging, compliance officer, and to
the Executive Director, and a full investigation conducted.
Review of the clinical record revealed that Resident R108 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- periodic assessment of care needs), indicated diagnoses of
dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities), muscle wasting, and
atrophy (loss of muscle leading to its shrinking, weakening, and/or stiffness).
Review of progress note dated 9/2/23, at 10:00 a.m. stated that the Resident R108 was found naked in the
hallway with the right hand being edematous (abnormally swollen with fluid).
Review of a progress noted dated 9/2/23, at 7:40 p.m. stated that the right hand was swollen with +3 edema
(when the swollen area pressed with a finger tip, it takes up to 30 seconds for the depression to go away)
and bruising from the right thumb down to wrist. The MD (medical doctor) was notified, and an X-ray
ordered.
Review of a progress note dated 9/2/23, at 10:14 p.m. stated the results showed a fracture to right thumb
and resident was sent to the hospital. The physician progress noted dated 9/6/23, stated, The cause of the
injury is not known, though R108 does have times where she climbs out of bed and crawls on the floor.
During an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on 9/7/23, at 11:58 a.m. stated these are
behaviors where she throws herself on the floor and were really supposed to ignore it since it's attention
seeking behaviors.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/7/23, at 12:35 p.m. stated that these are
behaviors for this resident. After being asked how the facility was able to determine that this was a behavior
if the documentation states the cause is unknown and it was unwitnessed she stated what he's saying is
starting to make sense.
Review of facility submitted reports failed to reveal documentation of reporting of Resident R108's injury of
unknown source as possible abuse and/or neglect.
