During an interview on 05/07/2024 at 11:16 a.m. NA I revealed she had placed Resident #1, who was in her
wheelchair, a small distance away from the dining room table on 04/28/2024 but had noted that Resident #1
was leaning forward. NA I stated that she had locked Resident #1's wheelchair but then stepped away with
the plan to quickly see if Resident #1 had anything in her room to prop her up. She revealed that by the time
she had returned, Resident #1 had fallen. NA I did not mention having requested another staff member to
monitor Resident #1 upon leaving her in the wheelchair, but stated that a CNA was present in the dining
room. NA I stated that from where she was when Resident #1 fell, she was able to hear a loud bang and
the CNA call out to the nurse. NA I revealed Resident #1 fell around 2 minutes after she left her. NA I
revealed that upon her return to the dining room, the nurses were checking Resident #1's vitals and putting
pressure to the injury on her head. NA I revealed that it appeared that Resident #1 only hit her head on the
floor and did not hit the table because there was only blood found on the floor.
During an interview on 05/07/2024 at 12:07 p.m. LVN G revealed Resident #1 tended to lean herself over
and did not have trunk control (the ability to control her upper body). LVN G stated that staff were always

Resident #1 was alert, opening her eyes, and had not passed out. LVN G stated she knew that the
wheelchair had been locked but was unsure on Resident #1's position to the table, but that Resident #1 had
to have been far enough away from the table to fall forward and hit her head on the floor under the table
and not hit the table. LVN G revealed she was aware that one of the aides had gone to get Resident #1
something to stop her from falling but that Resident #1 fell immediately after.
During an interview on 05/07/2024 at 01:31 p.m. the Hospice RN E revealed she was contacted on
04/28/2024 of Resident #1's fall and transfer to the emergency department for further evaluation on a
laceration that was bleeding on the top of her head. Hospice RN E revealed that she requested the
weekend hospice nurse be contacted for further updates, specifically if Resident #1 was to return to the
facility because she would need to be assessed by the weekend hospice nurse upon return. The Hospice
RN E revealed the weekend hospice nurse reassessed Resident #1 on 04/28/2024 upon her return from
the hospital and a scheduled over the counter pain medication was ordered. She revealed that she was
able to see Resident #1 on the next day and the hospice doctor ordered a controlled pain medication at that
time for one week.

control, which was progressive (developing gradually) and causing her to become weaker and weaker. The
DON revealed that Resident #1's posturing (ability to hold a posture) continued to decline (worsening) and
that she thought that Resident #1 did not like to be alone. The DON revealed that even when Resident #1
appeared exhausted or weak, she would be adamant about being up. She stated that prior to the fall, she
felt Resident #1 was at risk for a fall but not to the point that the wheelchair was identified as having been
inappropriate. The DON stated that prior to Resident #1's fall on 04/28/2024, Resident #1's focus had been
on her having had a poor appetite and not on her posturing or concerns for fall risk. The DON stated that
immediately after being notified of Resident #1's fall, she called the rehabilitation director and the Hospice
RN E regarding Resident #1's positioning and they decided that a Geri chair was the safest option for
Resident #1. The DON stated that she interviewed staff after the fall and CNA C had stated that she was in
the dining room at the time of the fall, had just looked at Resident #1, turned around to pick up meal tickets
at the table, and when she turned around again, she could see Resident #1 falling but was not able to get
to her fast enough. The DON stated that it was not uncommon for residents to be seated at the tables by
themselves as staff are getting trays and tickets prepped for meal service.
Record review of Resident #1's Fall Risk note, dated 05/02/2024 at 03:22 p.m. was noted to be related to
her fall on 04/28/2024. The note revealed her mental status was with alert and oriented or comatose or
persistent vegetative state, had poor vision, had decreased muscular coordination, required assistive
devices, had impaired mobility, received antidepressants, cardiovascular medication, and narcotics; had
one or two falls in the past three months, and had a neuromuscular/functional condition such as decline in
functional status, Parkinson's, and unsteady gait. Her fall risk score was calculated at 16.0, indicating she
was at risk. Referral was noted as other- fall interventions in place, hospice updated and plan of care was
noted as updated with note the resident was provided with a Geri-chair related to the progression of
weakness and poor trunk control.
Record review of Resident #1's nursing note, dated 05/02/2024 at 03:13 p.m. and written by LVN G,
revealed Fall discussed with IDT team in morning meeting. Discussed benefits versus risks of resident
being up in wheelchair due to her forward/ hunched posture and poor trunk control. Both therapy and
nursing determined resident's current wheelchair, or even a high back wheelchair is not safe at this time.
Resident's trunk and core control strength has continued to slowly decline which ultimately is the cause of
the fall on 4/28/24. Team will continue to reach out to [family member] to discuss his input on her current
plan of care and concerns regarding positioning and safety in her wheelchair. Neuro checks in place related
to fall with head laceration. Will continue to refrain from getting resident up to wheelchair until continued
discussion is had with resident's husband and hospice.
Record review of Resident #1's hospice visit note report, visit date noted as 05/03/2024 and written by
Hospice RN E, revealed All care is being provided to the pt in bed, she does have a Geri chair in the room
when she is able and willing to try and get out of bed though currently recommended to rest so she is able
to heal .Teaching done with [family member] regarding fall prevention and EOL care. Advised the pt is no
longer able to hold her torso in upright position and has poor judgement.
Record review of facility policy, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated revised March 2018, revealed Based
on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific
risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling
.2. Resident conditions that may contribute to the risk of falls include: .c. delirium and other cognitive
impairment; .i. functional impairments; .3. Medical factors that contribute to the risk of falls include: .e.
balance and gait disorders; etc.

04/28/2024- Fall from wheelchair with a laceration to head with two approaches with start date of
05/02/2024, I will be evaluated for the most appropriate type of wheelchair related to poor trunk control and
unsafe self-positioning while sitting up in a wheelchair. and I will utilize a Geri chair (rolling chair designed
for someone with difficulty sitting upright) instead of a regular wheelchair for increased safety. I lack core
strength, which puts me at a higher risk for falls in a wheelchair versus a Geri chair. Time of care plan entry

included a Geri chair and because it had been observed that she leans forward, staff were trying to not get
her out of bed except upon her or her family member's request.
