Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1)
was provided the necessary care and services after a fall.
Residents Affected - Few
* Resident 1 fell while the resident was being transferred by two staff members from the shower chair to the
bed. The nursing staff did not conduct a post fall assessment and monitor the resident for any change in
condition after the fall. This failure had the potential for Resident 1 not receiving appropriate care in a timely
manner.
Findings:
On 9/7/23, medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated. Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical Examination dated 6/10/23, showed Resident 1 did not have
capacity to understand or make decisions. Resident 1 had a diagnosis of osteopenia.
Review of the fall risk assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 was a low risk for falls.
Review of the MDS Quarterly assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 was totally dependent on two
or more staff for transfers to or from the bed.
Review of the Interdisciplinary Notes dated 8/31/23, showed on 8/21/23, while two staff members were in
the process of transferring Resident 1 from the shower chair to the bed, Resident 1 began grabbing at the
staff members arms and clothing causing all three of them to lose their balance. The two staff members
lowered Resident 1 to the ground. The fall was not reported at that time. On 8/29/23, the resident exhibited
severe pain during a brief change and an x-ray of the right lower extremity was ordered. The x-ray result
showed a distal femur fracture, and the resident was sent to the emergency room for evaluation.
However, further review of the medical record showed no documented evidence of the fall on 8/21/23.
There was no documented evidence of the post fall assessment and monitoring for changes in condition
after sustaining the fall on 8/21/23.
On 9/7/23 at 1521 hours, an interview was conducted with RNA 1. When asked about Resident 1 ' s fall on
8/21/23, RNA 1 stated she and CNA 1 attempted to transfer Resident 1 from a shower chair to the bed by
placing their (CNA 1 and RNA 1) arms underneath Resident 1 ' s armpits. According to RNA 1, Resident 1
held on to RNA 1 ' s shirt so RNA 1 and CNA 1 then placed Resident 1 on the floor because

Resident 1 was sliding downwards. When asked about using a gait belt to transfer Resident 1, RNA 1
verbalized she did not use a gait belt to transfer Resident 1 from the shower chair to the resident ' s bed.
According to RNA 1, she reported this incident to LVN 1.
On 9/8/23 at 1318 hours, an interview with CNA 1 was conducted. When asked about Resident 1 ' s fall,
CNA 1 stated she and RNA 1 attempted to transfer Resident 1 from the shower chair to the bed by placing
their (CNA 1 and RNA 1) arms underneath Resident 1 ' s armpits. According to CNA 1, Resident 1 was
holding on to their (CNA 1 and RNA 1) hands and clothing, so both CNA 1 and RNA 1 placed Resident 1
on the floor because they were unable to hold the resident. When asked if the facility provided staff
education on how to transfer the residents, CNA 1 replied the staff were instructed to use the gait belts for
transfer. When asked if she used a gait belt, CNA 1 stated she did not use a gait belt to transfer Resident 1
from the shower chair to the bed.
On 9/12/23, at 1558 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 2. When asked about Resident 1 ' s fall
sustained on 8/21/23, LVN 2 stated she did not document or report about Resident 1 ' s fall because at that
time, she did not identify Resident 1 ' s fall as a fall.
On 9/12/23 at 1620 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the staff did not
report Resident 1 ' s fall to her until 8/30/23, after Resident 1 ' s x-ray result was received. The DON
acknowledged thestaff should have reported and documented about Resident 1 ' s fall on 8/21/23.
