Record review of Resident #1's vital signs report dated 12/14/24 reflected there was no record of resident vital signs being taken during the time he was lifted off the floor The vitals report reflected that Resident #1's vitals were checked early in the day of 12/14/24 at 8:10am by LVN A. Interview with LVN-A on 12/24/24 at 12:22pm, she said that when a resident is found on the floor and it is unknown how the resident ended up on the floor, then a head-to-toe assessment should be performed. She said that the reason for the head-to-toe assessment is to rule out any serious injuries before the resident is moved. She said that she did not perform a head-to-toe assessment on Resident #1 when he was found on the floor in his room on 12/14/24. She said that she did a quick visual assessment because Resident #1's family was belligerent and that she just wanted to get Resident #1 off the floor and into his bed. She said that a head-to-toe assessment should include the vitals being taken and the resident's range of motion being checked to ensure no dislocations or broken bones before the resident is removed from the floor. And the risk of not performing a head-to-toe assessment could lead to injury. Interview with CNA-A on 12/24/24 at 12:36pm, she said that if a resident is found on the floor and the fall is unwitnessed then a nurse must perform a head-to-toe assessment before the resident is removed from the floor. She said that the reason for the assessment is to make sure that the resident does not have any serious injuries that would prevent the resident from being removed from the floor. She said that the head-to-toe assessment includes vitals, range of motion check and a check for a fracture. Interview with DON on 12/24/24 at 3:30pm, she said that if a resident is found on the floor and it is not clear how the resident ended up on the floor then a head-to-toe assessment should be performed to ensure that the resident does not have any serious injuries before they are removed from the floor. She said that if the assessment is not performed by a nurse, then it could lead to serious injury when removing the resident from the floor. She said that a head-to-toe assessment should include vital signs, range of motion and check for any fractures. Interview with Administrator on 12/24/24 at 3:50pm, he said that if a resident has a fall, then the resident should be assessed before they are removed from the floor because it's not sure if the resident is injured or the extent of their injuries if there are any. He said that each nurse should know to perform an assessment on a resident that has a fall or suspected fall. Record review of the facility's fall prevention policy dated 11/2024 revealed that: 1. If a resident has just fallen or is found on the floor without a witness to the event, evaluate for possible injuries to the head, neck, spine, and extremities. The resident is not moved until after evaluation by a nurse. 2. Obtain and record vital signs as soon as it is safe to do so. 3.
