**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

Resident 1 was observed sitting in the hallway outside of her room. The SBAR indicated, Resident 1 was
exhibiting behaviors of self-transferring self and was at risk for falls.During an interview on 1/28/26 at 12:15
p.m. director of staff development (DSD), the DSD stated the facility expectation when there was a fall or
incident was for the nurse to assess the resident for injury prior to the CNAs moving or transferring the
resident. The DSD stated it was important for the nurse to complete a thorough assessment of the
residents immediately following a fall to identify any injuries and prevent further injury.During a telephone
interview on 2/3/26 at 3:30 p.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated that on 1/16/26, she was assigned to Resident 1.

down as she normally would do after meals. LVN 1 stated Resident was also seen going into other resident
rooms and attempting to self-transfer onto other resident beds. LVN 1 stated she asked CNA 1 and CNA 2

assessment, including: Level of consciousness, Orientation, Speech, Pupil size and reactivity, Motor
strength and sensation, Skin assessment for lacerations, abrasions, bruising, or pressure injuries.

ongoing monitoring. Nursing Staff: Perform assessments, initiate interventions, communicate changes in
condition, and document care. Charge Nurse/Designee: Ensure appropriate follow-up and

Identification, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. 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.
