Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety
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, and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident received adequate supervision to prevent accidents for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for accidents. (Resident #1)
Residents Affected - Few Resident #1 was assessed as requiring assistance of 2 staff members for bed mobility and total assistance of 1 for bathing. Resident #1 was assisted by one staff member for a bed bath, fell out of the bed, and sustained two brain bleeds. An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on [DATE] at 11:40 a.m. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] at 04:14 p.m., the facility remained out of compliance at the scope and severity of actual harm and a scope of isolated. The facility was continuing to complete in-service training and monitoring the effectiveness of the Plan of Removal. This failure could place residents who required assistance with bed mobility and bathing at risk for falls, injuries, and hospitalization.
Findings included: Record review of the face sheet dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included cerebral infarction (disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it), hemiplegia (complete loss of the ability to move some or all of the body) and hemiparesis (partial weakness) following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the space between the brain and the tissue covering the brain from a brain injury), and traumatic subdural hemorrhage (blood between the brain and its outermost covering from an injury). Record review of the MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 had severely impaired cognition, required extensive 2-person assistance of physical assist for bed mobility (how resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed or alternate sleep furniture), required total assistance of 1 staff member for bathing, and had no falls since admission. Record review of the care plan dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 required extensive assistance for bed mobility, required total dependency from staff for bathing, and was at high risk for falls. The care plan did not address how many staff were needed for bathing and bed mobility. Record review of a Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 was at high risk for falls and he had no falls in the last 3 months.

Record review of an Incident Report dated [DATE] indicated CNA A was giving Resident #1 a bed bath, she touched a sore place on his right buttocks causing him to flinch and move about the bed. Resident #1 rolled off the bed onto the floor face down, lying on his right shoulder. Resident #1 had a large hematoma (blood pooling) to his left forehead, swelling to his right shoulder (the shoulder was tender to touch), and an abrasion to his right knee. He was not able to give account of fall. Record review of a written and signed statement dated [DATE] by CNA A indicated she was giving Resident #1 a bed bath. She wrote while I was cleaning his butt I noticed a sore and I put cream on his butt, he gripped his butt cheeks and jumped. I had one hand holding his hip but when he jumped I tried to grab him, but he fell off the bed. Record review of nursing notes with: * Entry dated [DATE] at 01:00 p.m. indicated while CNA A was giving Resident #1 a bed bath, she touched a sore place on his right buttocks causing him to flinch and move about the bed. Resident #1 rolled off the bed onto the floor face down and lying on right shoulder. Resident #1 had a large hematoma (blood pooling) to left forehead, swelling to right shoulder, the shoulder was tender to touch, and an abrasion to right knee. An ice pack was applied to left forehead and 911 called for transportation to the local hospital emergency room for evaluation and treatment. * Entry dated [DATE] 01:30 p.m. indicated Resident #1 was transported to the local hospital emergency room with 2 EMTs. * Entry dated [DATE] 06:00 p.m. indicated the local hospital contacted the facility and informed them Resident #1 was being transferred to a higher level of care hospital due to subarachnoid and subdural bleeding. The hospital indicated there was no fracture to the right shoulder. Record review of a hospital Neurosurgical Consultation report dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 was brought to the emergency department after a fall from the bed during care. He underwent a CT (special x-ray equipment to help assess head injuries) of the head at the local hospital and was found to have a small subdural hematoma as well as subarachnoid hemorrhage. He was transferred to another hospital for higher level of care. Neurosurgery was consulted for further evaluation recommendations. At this time, no acute neurosurgical intervention was recommended. Recommendations due to the head injuries included for him to have systolic blood pressure (measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) less than 130, the head of the bed was to be kept greater than 30 degrees, and he was started on Keppra (anti-seizure medication) 500mg twice daily for seizure prophylaxis for 7 days. During an interview on [DATE] at 09:25 a.m. the ADM said Resident #1 was being provided a bed bath by CNA A and the resident fell out of bed hitting his head. He said the resident was sent to the hospital due to hitting his head and was found to have bleeding, so he called in a report to the state office of a fall with an injury. He said the resident should have had 2 staff with the bed bath. During an observation on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m. Resident #1 was in his bed. He was clean, neat, and had no odors.

We must assist all residents in the safest manner possible. The shower list will also specifically say if the resident requires a two-person bed bath or for bed mobility as well, these will be the same. Transfer will only be listed on the [NAME]. For new residents always ask a charge nurse or use two people until the residents' abilities are assessed. A picture of the PCC was attached to in-service to show staff where to find the [NAME] tab. The levels of assistance will be available to find on PCC and at nurse's station. If staff not in-serviced by [DATE] they will be in-serviced prior to working shift.

To monitor for compliance the Administrator and/or designee will check 3 residents care per week to ensure the proper level of assistance is being provided. The monitored residents will always be different than the prior week's residents. Any negative findings will be remedied with further training or disciplinary actions. This plan was initially implemented [DATE] and will be monitored through completion by corporate and regional staff.
