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 that each resident received adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed
for accidents.
CNA B failed to follow Resident #1's plan of care when she prepared to transfer the resident without
assistance using a mechanical lift.
This failure placed all residents, who required 2+ person assist with transfers/mobility, at risk for accidents
and injuries.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 09/13/24, reflected the resident was an [AGE] year-old
female initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included:
dementia (loss of thinking and memory), psychotic disturbance (mood disorder), Type II diabetes,
unsteadiness of feet, lack of coordination, and above the knee amputation of right leg.
Record review of Resident #1's Optional State Assessment (OSA) and Quarterly MDS assessment, both
dated 08/01/24, reflected the resident required extensive assistance with two+ person assist for bed
mobility and transfer.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 05/10/24, revealed the resident was a fall risk related to a
fall on 08/08/24, history of heart failure, history of hypertension, and evidenced by amputation, right lower
extremity weakness, cognitive status, transfer (total dependence), mobility (immobile) and
non-weight-bearing status. Interventions included: assessing and monitoring vital signs, assessing
contributing factors related to fall history, assessing for potential fall-related injury prevention, assessing
medications for contributing factors, assisting resident with ADLs and toileting as needed, keeping call light
and frequently used items within reach, low bed, reminding the resident to call for assistance, and social
services and therapy referral, and wheelchair. Further review of care plan reflected the resident also had
impaired physical mobility related to history of cardiovascular disease and evidenced by assist rails, right
lower extremity weakness, right knee joint pain, and left hip joint pain. Interventions included
occupational/physical therapy, providing appropriate level of assistance to promote safety of resident,
providing physical assistance to promote highest level of function, and restorative nursing assistance as
needed.

.At about 7:30 AM, an aid was trying to prepare resident to bring her to the dinning [sic] room. As she was
trying to but [sic] the sling from the right side, resident roll few [sic] towards the right side of a very low bed,
and almost falling. This nurse was in front of her door and ran to help the can [sic] to bush [sic] her back to
the bed but very difficult and we lowered her to the grown [sic]. Resident's head accidentally hit the rail the
resident stated. This nurse assessed resident and noted a node [sic] to left side of the head .
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #1's neurological checks, dated 08/08/24-08/11/24, reflected no changes in the
resident's neurological functions.
Record review of a 1 to 1 in-service titled Hoyer transfer & Bed Mobility with CNA B, dated 08/08/24,
reflected she was educated on proper Hoyer lift transfer and safety of patient and was able to return
demonstration.
Record review of Resident #1's progress note, dated 08/09/24 by LVN A, revealed the following:
[Resident #1] is stable at this time. [Resident #1] in her room and family visiting. [Family] in the building this
morning and informed this nurse that [Resident #1] is complaining of pain to the head where the nod [sic]
is. This nurse already assessed [Resident #1] at this beginning of the shift and [Resident #1] verbalized
pain to the nod [sic] on the head and tender when touch. Pain medication given and order for skull x-ray
given. Order called in and awaiting tech. [Family] notified and will F/U with the result.
Record review of an in-services titled Nurse Team Meeting Outline on 8/31/24, dated 08/31/24, reflected all
staff were educated on multiple topics, including fall prevention.
In an interview and observation on 09/12/24 at 4:00 PM, Resident #1 was observed in bed visiting with
family. Resident #1 did not have any visible marks or bruises and was well-groomed with no odors.
Resident #1 stated she was well and could not recall having any recent falls or injuries at the facility.
Resident #1's family stated he was unhappy because last month the facility informed him that Resident #1
had an accident that resulted in a knot and bruise to her head, and it caused her pain a few days following
the incident. The family stated CNA B, who was new, admitted to attempting to transfer Resident #1 alone
when she fell halfway out of the bed and hit her head. The family stated Resident #1 required a two-person
assist with transferring at all times and he did not believe this was being done. The family stated LVN A tried
to convince him that CNA B was only preparing Resident #1 for the transfer and was not going to do the
actual mechanical lift alone; however, the family stated he did not believe it.
In an interview on 09/13/24 at 12:29 PM, LVN A stated she worked with Resident #1 on 08/08/24 when the
incident occurred. LVN A stated she was standing near Resident #1's door at her cart while CNA B was
preparing to transfer Resident #1 to her wheelchair. LVN A stated it was common for the aides to place the
transfer sling underneath the residents and prepare them for a mechanical transfer alone, then call for help
before performing the transfer. LVN A stated all mechanical transfers had to be completed with at least two
staff. LVN A stated CNA B rolled Resident #1 over to slide the sling underneath her bottom and the resident
rolled too fast due to having one leg. LVN A stated she rushed to the bedside to help get Resident #1 back
in bed. LVN A stated Resident #1 sustained a node on her head after hitting it on the bed rail. LVN A stated
she did a head-to-toe assessment, put a cold

towel on Resident #1's head, and neurological checks were initiated with no concerns. LVN A stated she
notified the MD, DON, and family. LVN A stated Resident #1 was not sent out to the hospital, the MD
ordered close monitoring and neurological checks.
An attempted interview on 09/13/24 at 12:50 PM with CNA B was unsuccessful due to no response to call.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 09/13/24 at 12:56 PM, the DON stated it was reported to him that on 08/08/24 CNA B
was only preparing Resident #1 to be transferred and LVN A was standing near the door to help when it
was time to place Resident #1 on the mechanical lift. The DON stated Resident #1 had lower body
weakness due to amputation of her right leg, but she had strength in her upper extremities and was able to
hold on to the bed rail to assist staff with bed mobility. The DON stated just as with incontinent care, it was
okay for the staff to prepare residents for a mechanical lift by [placing the sling underneath without
supervision/assistance; however, the mechanical lift procedure requires two people. The DON stated
although Resident #1's MDS assessment indicated that she requires 2+ person assist with bed mobility and
transfers, most times the resident only required one-person assist with bed mobility. The DON initially stated
he was not sure why Resident #1's MDS assessment indicated that she needed 2+ person assistance with
bed mobility. The DON stated immediately after the incident, padding was placed on Resident #1's bed rails
and CNA B received 1 to 1 training on transfers and resident safety. The DON stated LVN A documented
that Resident #1 was ordered a skull series x-ray; however, it was not completed because the physician
decided she did not need one. The DON stated the risk of performing tasks that required bed mobility and
transfers with a one-person assist if the resident required a two+ person assist was the resident could fall
and/or be injured.
In an interview on 09/13/24 at 2:24 PM with the DON and MDS Coordinator, the MDS Coordinator stated
she worked at the facility since June 2024. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident #1's MDS assessment
did indicate that she required extensive assistance and a 2+ person assist with bed mobility and transfers;
however, the MDS was coded based on staff's documentation regarding ADL care. The MDS Coordinator
stated if staff documented anywhere at anytime that two or more staff were required to complete a task, it
would trigger the code for extensive assistance on the MDS assessment. The MDS Coordinator stated she
was responsible for monitoring and updating the MDS Assessments for accuracy and could revise it if
changes were needed. The MDS Coordinator stated the codes for assistance were a guide for care and did
not mean the residents required that level of care at all times, so although Resident #1's MDS Assessment
indicated she required extensive assistance and a 2+ person assist with bed mobility and transfers, it was
okay for one staff to assist her when possible. The DON stated the MDS Assessment coding was measured
over a 7-day period of performance, and the residents' ability could vary. The DON stated he worked with
Resident #1 for many years and knew that she had the strength to assist staff with some tasks, and they
encouraged this for Resident #1 to maintain her strength. The DON stated the incident that occurred on
08/08/24 was an accident and likely happened because Resident #1 moved too quickly and not because
she was unable to assist with maintaining her balance due to lack of coordination from her amputated right
leg.
Review of the facility's policy titled Mechanical Lifts, revised 02/12/23, reflected in part the following:
Policy: Residents will be assisted with their Activities of Daily living, utilizing lifts according to the
manufacturer's guidelines.

Review of CMS's Optional State Assessment (OSA) Manual, dated October 2023, reflected in part the
following:
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Assistance
1. ADL Self-Performance: Code for resident's performance over all shifts-not including setup. If the ADL
activity occurred 3 or more times at various levels of assistance, code the most dependent-except for total
dependence, which requires full staff performance every time.
2. ADL Support Provided: Code for most support provided over all shifts; code regardless of resident's
self-performance classification
Definitions:
ADL Self-Performance-measures what the resident actually did (not what they might be capable of doing)
within each ADL category over the last 7 days according to a performance-based scale.
ADL Support Provided-measures the most support provided by staff over the last 7 days, even if that level
