F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to meet professional standards of practice and follow the policy and procedure titled, Nursing Assessment and Management of Residents Following a Fall, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), when LVN 1, CNA 1 and CNA 2 observed Resident 1 on 1/16/26 exhibit restless and anxious behavior, exit seeking behavior and wheeling herself into other resident rooms trying to get into their beds. LVN 1 did not assess the situation, did not assess Resident 1 at the time of the behaviors and did not notify the physician to provide instructions on how to address Resident 1. Instead, LVN 1 instructed CNA 1 and CNA 2 to put Resident 1 to bed and Resident 1 was found on the hallway floor outside her room [ROOM NUMBER] minutes later. LVN 1 did not assess Resident 1 following the unwitnessed fall on 1/16/26 and instead instructed CNA 1 and CNA 2 to transfer Resident 1 back to bed. Once Resident 1 was in bed, LVN 1 did not complete a full head to toe assessment following the fall. These failures resulted in not recognizing and acting appropriately on a change of condition, not taking the opportunity to conduct a physical assessment of Resident 1, not obtaining physician input on how to address the change of condition. These failures led to Resident 1 falling from her bed, a delay in assessing possible injuries from the fall. On 1/17/26 X-rays of the hand indicated there was a fracture to the left 5th metacarpal bone (the long bone in the hand located on the pinky finger side, forming part of the palm and connecting the wrist). Subsequently, Resident 1 was transported to the acute care hospital.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR- a summary of information regarding a resident which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact information and other pertinent information), the AR indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis for history of falling Anxiety Disorder, Dementia (a condition with persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change), cognitive communication deficit (an impairment in communication).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment tool used to identify cognitive (mental processes) and physical functional level assessment] dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated, Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS screening tool used to assess resident cognitive level) score was 5 out of 15 (0 - 7 indicated severe cognitive impairment [memory loss, poor decision making skills] 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, (13 -15) cognitively intact) which indicated Resident 1 had severe cognitive impairment.During an interview on 1/28/26 at 11:38 a.m. with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated that on 1/16/26, she was assigned to care for Resident 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 was observed restless and anxious wheeling herself in her wheelchair around the facility, which had been out of her normal behavior. CNA 1 stated LVN 1 requested Resident 1 be taken to Resident 1's room and assisted to bed. CNA 1 stated she felt it was unsafe to lay Resident 1 on her bed due to the anxious and restless behavior that could have caused Resident 1 to fall. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 was assisted back to bed where she remained Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Assessment, The Assessment Standard of Practice is defined as, The registered nurse collects pertinent data and information relative to the health care consumer's health or the situation.10 A registered nurse uses a systematic method to collect and analyze client data. Assessment includes physiological data, as well as psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and lifestyle data. Licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPN/VNs) assist with gathering data. Subjective data is information obtained from the client and/or family members and offers important cues from their perspectives. When documenting subjective data stated by a client, it should be in quotation marks. Objective data is anything that you can observe through your sense of hearing, sight, smell, and touch while assessing the client. There are three sources of assessment data: interview, physical examination, and review of laboratory or diagnostic test results. A physical examination is a systematic data collection method of the body that uses the techniques of inspection, auscultation, palpation, and percussion. Inspection is the observation of a client's anatomical structures. Auscultation is listening to sounds, such as heart, lung, and bowel sounds, created by organs using a stethoscope. Palpation is the use of touch to evaluate organs for size, location, or tenderness. Percussion is an advanced physical examination technique typically performed by providers where body parts are tapped with fingers to determine their size and if fluid or air are present. After nurses collect assessment data from a client, they use their nursing knowledge to analyze that data to determine if it is expected or unexpected or normal or abnormal for that client according to their age, development, and baseline status. From there, nurses determine what data is clinically relevant as they prioritize their nursing care. Event ID: Facility ID: 555115 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 5
