participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

physician.

disease that affects the pumping action of the heart muscles resulting in shortness of breath and fatigue),

amount of healthy red blood cells), and atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly
causes poor blood flow). Resident #1's face sheet noted he was DNR.

walker next to the head of the bed. He had his eyes closed but opened them at the sound of his name. He

answer any other questions.
During an interview on [DATE] at 12:35 PM BOM said of Resident #1's DNR not being dated by the
physician, That could have been real bad! She held up a new copy of the DNR that was dated by the
physician and said, Now I just have to go get it notarized.

Resident #1 still wanted to be DNR. She replied, Yes. I do know for sure.

prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**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 receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 1 (Resident #1) of 6 residents reviewed for
accidents and hazards.
Resident #1 was left alone in the shower, fell, and was injured on 10/13/23. Resident #1 was coded as
needing assistance by one staff person for bathing in his MDS completed 08/08/23.
This failure could place residents requiring assistance with ADLs in danger of injury.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 11-13-23 revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, type 2 diabetes (insufficient
production of insulin, causing high blood sugar), chronic congestive heart failure (a progressive heart
disease that affects the pumping action of the heart muscles resulting in shortness of breath and fatigue),
personal history of cerebral infarction (stroke), major depressive disorder, muscle wasting and atrophy,
vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance (a decline in thinking skills caused by conditions that block
or reduce blood flow to various regions of the brain), anemia (lower than normal amount of healthy red
blood cells), atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow),
and restlessness and agitation.
Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS, completed 08/08/23 revealed a BIMS of 9 which indicated
moderately impaired cognition. Section G of the MDS revealed Resident #1 required physical help in part of
bathing activity with one-person physical assist. Section G noted Resident #1 utilized a walker. Section GG
of the MDS noted Resident #1 required partial to moderate assistance when showering; meaning the staff
member lifts or holds trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan revised on 08/09/23 revealed the following focus areas:
I have limited physical mobility r/t Disease Process Muscle Wasting and Atrophy initiated on 10/15/20.
I have impaired cognitive function and impaired thought processes with fluctuating cognition r/t Dementia
and impaired decision making initiated on 11/19/19.

I am at risk for falls because I have a fall risk score of 5 and risk factors such as Gait/balance problems
initiated on 10/16/20.
Record review of Resident #1's progress notes revealed a note on 10/13/23 at 10:00 PM by LVN A stating
CNA B came to tell her Resident #1 was on the floor in the shower room. Resident #1 stated to LVN A, She
[CNA B] came and told me to wait and she would help but I thought I could do it myself so I stood up and
then I accidentally fell. The note stated the doctor had Resident #1 sent to the

hospital for evaluation due to hitting his head and taking a blood thinner. Another note dated 10/14/23 at

Record review of Resident #1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed a score of 11 which placed
Resident #1 in the high risk for falls category. Resident #1 was noted to have had 1-2 falls in past three
months and a balance problem while standing/walking.
During an interview on 11/13/23 at 05:22 AM LVN A stated she remembered Resident #1 falling in the
shower, but she would need to read her notes to remember specifics. She then looked on her computer at
her notes and stated she remembered CNA B had Resident #1 seated in the shower and told him to stay
seated while she left to retrieve a washcloth or a towel. LVN A said Resident #1 was a standby assist with
showering. She said, He does everything himself, but we only have 3 or 4 residents who are allowed to be
in the shower alone. LVN A said after CNA B left Resident #1 sitting in the shower, he tried to stand by
himself and fell and hit his head on the wall and the floor of the shower. She stated she and another nurse
on duty heard a thump and the two of them reached the shower at the same time CNA B returned to the
shower and they saw Resident #1 lying on the floor. LVN A said Resident #1 was able to verbalize to her
after the fall that CNA B told him to stay seated, but he thought he could do it himself, so he attempted to
stand and he fell. LVN A said after she notified Resident #1's physician about the fall the physician had her
send Resident #1 by ambulance to the hospital because he was on blood thinners, and he hit his head.
During an interview on 11/13/23 at 05:52 AM CNA B stated she remembered Resident #1 falling in the
shower. She said, I told him to wait, I had to get some washrags, but he didn't wait. She said when she left
Resident #1 in the shower he was seated but he tried to stand up on his own instead of waiting for her to
return. When asked if it was normal for her to leave a resident who required assistance with bathing alone
in the shower, she replied, Normally I don't leave them. I told him to sit right there, but he didn't.
During an interview on 11/13/23 at 10:23 AM BOM stated it was not at all okay to leave a resident alone in
the shower if they required supervision to shower.
During an observation and interview on 11/13/23 at 10:37 AM Resident #1 was lying in his bed with his
eyes closed. He opened his eyes when his name was called. When asked if he remembered falling in the
shower and hurting his finger he nodded, which indicated yes.
During an interview on 11/13/23 at 11:48 AM CNA D stated she would never leave a resident who required
assistance with showering alone in the shower. She said a possible negative outcome of doing so would be,
He would fall.
