Residents Affected - Few
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of two
final sampled residents (Resident 2) was provided a floor mat as per the resident's care plan to prevent or
minimize the injury in case of a fall. This failure had the potential to place the resident at risk for serious
injury.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Falls Management revised 3/15/24, showed the residents will be assessed
for risk of falling as part of the nursing assessment process, interventions to reduce risk and minimize injury
will be implemented as appropriate and implement and document the resident-centered interventions
according to the individual risk factors in the resident's plan of care.
On 6/4/24 at 1435 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 2.
Resident 2 was observed awake and sitting in her bed with the right side of the bed against the wall.
Resident 2 was observed without a floor mat on the floor. Resident 2 stated she fell last month but could not
recall the exact date. Resident 2 further stated she could not remember if she ever had a floor mat beside
her bed.
Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 6/4/24. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 2's H&P examination dated 7/3/23, showed Resident 2 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
Review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 2 required substantial to maximal assistance
with mobility and transfers.
Review of Resident 2's Assessment Outcome for Admission/readmission dated 7/3/23, showed a fall risk
was identified for the resident.
Review of Resident 2's Care Plan initiated on 7/3/23, showed a care plan problem addressing Resident 2's
risk for falls related to confusion, attempt to self-transfer multiple times, needed constant redirection,
required substantial to maximum assistance with ADL care, and occasionally incontinence of bowel and
bladder. The care planinterventions included to implement the floor mat to the right side of the bed.
