**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for one of 34
sampled residents (Resident 1) that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and
person-centered care when there was an intervention which was not applicable upon admission for
Resident 1 who was at risk for fall.
This failure had the potential to place Resident 1 at risk not to receive the appropriate intervention to
prevent fall.
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated, she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including encephalopathy (a group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), presence of left
artificial hip joint, and orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure that occurs when moving from a
laying down position to a standing position).
Review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident assessment tool), dated 3/19/23 indicated, she
was cognitively intact. The MDS also indicated, Resident 1 had hip fracture (a partial or complete break in
the bone), displacement intertrochanteric fractures of left femur (a kind of the change in position and
fracture of thigh bone), and history of falling.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 10:45 a.m. with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's fall score and Radiology Report were reviewed. DON stated, She fell at home, then she had a
hip fracture. She had ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation, a type of surgery used to stabilize and
heal a broken bone), then she came to us for rehab . DON stated, the resident's fall score was 13 upon
admission on [DATE]. DON stated, a fall score above 10 was at risk for fall. DON stated, Resident 1 had
unwitnessed fall on 4/12/23 around 4:45 p.m. DON stated, Resident 1 was sitting in wheelchair, and it was
locked for her safety. DON stated, her bed was next to Resident 1, and a table was in front of her because
she was waiting for her dinner, then she had unwitnessed fall. DON stated, We don't know why. She couldn't
tell us why she fell. DON stated, there was a small skin tear on the left thumb, and it was not bleeding.
Otherwise, there was no injury. DON stated, during the neuro check (an evaluation of a person's nervous
system), Resident 1 was noted skin discoloration on her right mid back, and that's why the doctor ordered
stat X-ray. DON stated, otherwise Resident 1 was fine. DON stated, We ordered stat X-ray on 4/12, then it
was done next day, then had a result on 4/14. Radiology Report dated 4/13/23 indicated, . Right 7th rib
fracture . DON stated, they sent her to the hospital, but she refused treatment, so she returned the same
day. So, we monitored her for her safety. DON stated, Resident 1 left the facility at 10:30 a.m. on 4/14/23
