Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews the facility failed to ensure that residents receive adequate supervision and
assistance devices to prevent accidents for one (Resident #1) of twenty-two residents reviewed for falls.
The facility failed to ensure the OT was trained to provide adequate assistance to prevent accidents for
Resident #1 who was a two person assist with ADL care. As a result, the resident fell during an attempted
transfer and was later taken to the hospital and found to have a tibial fracture.
This failure could place the residents at risk for injury.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 04/03/23 reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female who
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Hemiplegia
(paralysis on one side of the body), Muscle weakness (commonly due to lack of exercise, ageing, muscle
injury or pregnancy), Osteopenia of the bones (a condition that begins as you lose bone mass and your
bones get weaker), Pain, Hyperlipidemia (an excess of lipids or fats in your blood), and Lack of
Coordination (uncoordinated movement is due to a muscle control problem that causes an inability to
coordinate movements).
Review of Resident #1's MDS Assessment, dated 03/24/23, reflected a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental
Status) score of 13. Review of Resident #1's functional status of extensive one-person assist for bed
mobility, locomotion on/off unit, toilet use, and personal hygiene. The resident also required total
dependence with two-person assist for transfers and dressing. Also, total dependence with one-person
assist for walk in corridor and bathing. Walk in room occurred once or twice with one-person assist.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan, last updated 11/27/22, reflected the resident's ADL needs, including
transfers, were not addressed.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan, dated 09/23/23, last updated 04/03/23, reflected the following:

Review of the Physical Therapy PT Evaluation & Plan of Treatment, Certification Period: 03/20/23-01/14/23
reflected, Initial Assessment, Current Referral: Reason for referral: Patient exhibits new onset of decrease
in strength, decreased need for assistance from others, reduced functional activity tolerance, decrease in
transfers and decrease in functional mobility indicating the need for PT to increase functional activity
tolerance, increase LE ROM and strength and facilitate (I) with all functional mobility. Prior Level of
Function: Transfers = CGA
Short-Term Goal - Patient will safely perform functional transfers with Mod (A) for safety awareness with
reduced risk for falls in order to decrease level of assistance from caregivers. (Target: 04/09/23) Prior Level
of Function Baseline (prior to onset) (03/20/23) Transfers - CGA Total Dependence w/o attempts to initiate
Long-Term Goal - Patient will safely perform functional transfers with Min (A) for safety awareness with
reduced risk for falls in order to decrease level of assistance from caregivers. (Target: 04/14/23) Prior Level

Assessment Summary: Clinical Impressions: Pt is a 67 yo female with CVA and Rt hemiplegia referred to
PT with muscle weakness, lack of coordination, balance deficits in standing resulting in increased burden of
care and decreased functional mobility. Reason for Skilled Services: Patient requires skilled PT services to
increase LE ROM and strength, increase functional activity tolerance and assess functional abilities in
order to enhance patient's quality of life by improving ability to decrease level of assistance from caregivers
and safely maneuver in/out of bed. Risk Factor: Due to the documented physical impairments and
associated functional deficits, the patient is at risk for increased dependency upon caregivers, further
decline in function and decreased skin integrity. Skilled Intervention Focus: Restoration
Review of the Concern Log for March 2023, reflected Resident #1 filed a concern on 03/27/23, stating she
was dropped during therapy. The DON was assigned to the concern on 03/27/23. The Resolution reflected
the DON made self report to HHSC, in-serviced staff, and therapy.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Review of Resident #1's Risk Management, Incident #1009 notes, reflected the following: Date of Incident:
3/27/23 11:40 therapist came to this nurse and states that the resident was on the floor. therapist states that
the resident was assisted to the floor due to her knees buckling. this nurse immediately went to assess the
resident. Resident observed laying on the floor in the supine position (the patient is face up with their head
resting on a pad positioner or pillow and their neck in a neutral position) with pillow underneath head.
resident exhibits no signs of distress. upon assessment no injuries noted and the resident is at her baseline
for movement in upper and lower extremities. Resident states that her knees buckled while being
transferred. assessment complete
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident #1's hospital MRI results, dated 03/28/23, reflected Exam: MRI of the right knee without
IV contrast
Clinical history: Right knee pain status post fall
Comparison: None available
IMPRESSION:
1.
Evidence of an acute nondisplaced lateral tibial plateau fracture.
Review of the facility's in-service documentation, following Resident #1's fall, reflected the following
in-services were conducted: All Staff in-service - Use Gait Belt for All Transfers-No Lifting, dated 03/27/23;
Post Fall Huddle Form, 03/27/23; Residents Requiring Mechanical lift Require Two People for All Transfers,
dated 03/29/23; Abuse and Neglect, 03/29/23
Review of Resident #1's Nursing Order from the Orthopedic Specialist, dated 04/03/23, reflected She
(Resident #1) is clear for ROM as tolerated of her right knee, but NWB on the RLE for the next 6-8 weeks.
Patient should continue PT for ROM of her knee, out of the knee brace, to prevent stiffness.
I recommend she discontinue knee brace/immobilizer while at rest to prevent skin breakdown. She can
wear it during transfers and when out of her facility for the next month. However, if she is more comfortable
in the brace when at rest she can wear it at rest as well for the next month, as long as her skin does not
breakdown.
In an interview on 04/11/23 at 10:15 AM with the DON revealed the resident reported the aide dropped her
on 03/27/23. She stated x-rays were ordered and completed. The x-rays did not show a fracture, however,
the resident was sent to the hospital on [DATE],and an MRI was conducted. She stated the MRI showed a
fracture. She stated because of the injury and how the resident described the incident, she wrote up an
action plan on the aide. She stated she initiated an in-service on Abuse and Neglect. She stated she also
talked to them to ensure everyone was on the same page with the proper way to transfer residents. She
stated she stressed that everyone is expected to utilize gait belts, lifts, and proper techniques with every
resident and at all times.
She also noted, the resident is very particular of how she wants things done and she will let her wishes be
known. She stated she will also let them know when she is not pleased with something. She

stated the resident has her cell number, as well as the Charge Nurse's numbers and the Administrator's
number. She stated she calls them at any given time, no matter the time of day or night, when she is not
pleased.
In an interview on 04/11/23 at 12:19 PM with the OT revealed she stated at the time of the incident on
03/27/23, she was moderate assistance. She stated prior to the incident, the resident was a one-person
transfer with the therapy team. She stated with nursing, the staff used a mechanical lift. She stated the
resident stated she was tired, so the therapy session was not a strenuous one. She stated, after the
session, they took the resident back to her room and let her sit in her wheelchair for about two hours sat
her in the chair in her room. She stated the resident was to sit in the chair for a while, because it was a new
chair and she needed to get used to the chair and they were trying to help her build up her tolerance for
sitting up in the chair. She stated at around 11:30 AM, she returned to the resident's room to check on her.
She stated at that time, she realized the sling was not under her for the nursing staff to get her back in the
bed. She stated by the time the resident was pretty fatigued from sitting up and wanted to get back into bed.
She stated the resident was insistent on getting back in bed. She stated at that point, she was trying to
appease the resident and give her what she wanted, which was to get back in bed. She stated its easier to
already have the sling in the chair, prior to her sitting in it. She stated because the resident was a
one-person transfer with therapy staff and she had just transferred her by herself, the week prior, with no
issues, she didn't feel it would be a problem to transfer her this time. She stated she angled the resident
towards her left side so she could transfer her from the left side. She stated before she stood the resident
up, she made sure the residents feet were a shoulder width apart, which is the proper position for standing.
She stated she believes when she was turning the resident, that's when the right foot slide behind her. She
stated typically, the resident's right foot would stay in place and the resident would be able to slide the right
foot around with her as she turned. But this time, he slide behind her. She stated that's when she couldn't
help the resident and the resident couldn't help her to ensure she could move her safely to the bed. She
stated at that point, she told the resident she was going to help her to the ground, because there was no
way out of the situation. She stated she was holding the resident from behind and the resident sat down
gently, bottom first and then she laid the resident down and put a pillow under her head. She stated the
resident's feet were toward the head of the bed. She stated the resident's' legs were bent a little bit because
a nightstand was in the way. She stated once she got the resident to lay down, she then pushed the
nightstand out of the way, so her legs could stretch out. She stated she had worked with the resident for
months and never had an issue. She stated she was aware that for nursing, she had to have two people to
transfer and that they used a sling and a mechanical lift, however, she was not aware that they, as therapist
had to use two people to do it because they always did it with one person. She stated the reason she and
the PT assistant transferred the resident that morning is because they happened to meet up at the
resident's room at the same time. So they just did it together. She stated the resident has been comfortable
with therapy transferring her without the mechanical lift and doing it with one person, however, she has
never been comfortable with nursing staff transferring her and has always insisted they do it with the
mechanical lift. She stated it has been this way for months. She stated this incident has taught her that it is
important for things to be the same across the board, so the residents receive the same level and manner
of care from all departments. She stated if that is not followed, it could result in injury to the resident.
In an interview on 04/11/23 at 12:32 PM with Resident #1 revealed she stated last month (March 2023), the
OT came to her room to check on her and she told her she was tired and wanted to get back in bed. She
stated the OT helped

her up and as she was trying to turn toward the bed, the OT dropped her. She stated she was facing the
head of the bed and she stated when she landed on the floor, her feet legs were bent to where her knees
were up. She stated her legs could not straighten out because the nightstand was in the way. She stated
her knees had not been bent that much in a very long time and she stated she feels that something must
have popped because she was in pain. She stated the OT moved the nightstand out of the way so her legs
could stretch out, however, the damage had been done by that point. She stated the OT went and got
Nurse A and an aide. She stated they checked her out and helped her into bed. She stated she knew
something was wrong because her knee was hurting. She stated she did not understand why they didn't
send her to the hospital when it happened. She stated she kept telling them she was in pain and they gave
her pain meds and later that evening, they had X-rays done. She stated they didn't send her to the hospital
until after she talked to the Nurse Practitioner. She stated she felt like the fall could have been prevented if
the OT had used the belt, like the aides do.
In an interview on 04/11/23 at 1:31 PM with the DOR, revealed she stated how they handle residents is
usually a case-by-case situation. She stated the Resident #1 had been minimum to moderate assist since
she returned from the hospital. She stated when the resident was receiving therapy prior to her hospital
stay, they had gotten her strong enough to be contact guard (ready-to-respond supervision) for transfers.
She stated normally, they train nursing staff to transfer in the same manner as how therapy does it, so they
could maintain continuity with the residents' progress. She stated Resident #1 would not allow it because
she was very adamant about nursing staff using the Mechanical lift. Resident #1 stated she was more
comfortable for nursing staff to use the lift and she was more comfortable with the therapist transferring her
the way they had been. She stated nursing department consults with therapy to determine best method for
transfers and mobility for MDS and Care Plans. She stated the rehab department goes off of the
assessment of the evaluating therapist, to determine how they work with the resident, and they adjust
based on the progress of the resident. She stated they have done things case-by-case for each resident,
and it sometimes differs from nursing determinations and there has never been an issue or injury until this
resident. She stated based on what happened with this resident on 03/27/23, she acknowledges that going
different routes could result in harm to the resident. She stated going forward, they will reevaluate and work
with nursing to be more cohesive.
In an interview on 04/11/23 at 2:40 PM with Nurse A, revealed she stated she was still learning the nursing
processes of the facility. She stated usually nursing staff referred to the therapy's determination when
determining the functionality of the residents. She stated if residents come from the hospital, nursing staff
go with the notes from the hospital. She stated she was not sure who determined how Resident #1 was to
be transferred. She stated the resident had not transferred with her. She stated ever since she had worked
at the facility, the resident had always been in bed when she checked on her. She stated if the resident had
needed to be transferred, she would refer to the resident's Care Plan and MDS to see what method she
required. She stated if therapy and nursing are not on the same page with how a resident is to be
transferred, falls and/or injuries could happen, some injuries may even be major. She stated the most
recent in-service on transfers on 03/29/23, included topics of gait belt use, mechanical lifts, one or
two-person assist, the proper way to transfer and the importance of following what's in the system for each
resident.
In an interview on 04/12/23 at 2:56 PM with the DON she stated the therapy department works with the
residents according to their abilities and the goal is to improve their ability to function. She stated the
nursing staff refer to the system to see what level of care each resident needs, and they act accordingly.
She stated with Resident Resident #1, its not always that simple because she insists on them doing what
she feels

comfortable with. She stated, on 03/27/23, the OT told them she assisted the resident to the floor and went
to get assistance, which is what she should have done. She stated the resident was comfortable with
therapy transferring her the way they had been doing and if the resident's wishes were being followed,
which is what they are supposed to do .as in honoring the resident's right to choose. She stated she did not
understand how they could be at fault for following the resident's choice. She stated once she was notified
of the incident, she took all of the appropriate steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. She stated the
system said the resident required two-person assist, however, the resident did not require the therapist to
follow that and she was comfortable with it, and there had never been any problems with it prior to this
incident. She stated the risk of not following what is in the system, would be that the resident could fall,
could be injured. However, they have been written up for not honoring resident's rights, so they were
keeping that in mind and trying to honor her rights and wishes.
In an interview on 04/11/23 at 3:14 PM with the Administrator, revealed he stated he interviewed Resident
#1 on 03/27/23, and she told him that as the therapist was helping her to transfer, her knee buckled and
that's how she lost balance, and the therapist told her she was going to help her to the ground. He stated
the resident did not say she was in pain after being asked by several people. He stated she was talking to
her family member, later that day and she told her family member what had happened. He stated after her
conversation with her family member, she then started complaining of pain. He stated that's when they
contacted the physician again and the physician ordered an X-ray. He stated the next day, Resident #1 was
still complaining of pain and she expressed pain to the NP, who told them to send her to the hospital. He
stated the staff were trying to do whatever they could to accommodate the resident. He stated therapy had
been working to get the resident comfortable with ther new customized wheelchair, so she can get to the
point of getting up and getting out of bed and out of her room and start socializing more and being more
active. He stated therapy was transferring her in a way that enabled her to be used to getting in the
wheelchair. He stated he believed both departments were doing it the right way, because it was the way the
resident wanted, and it was working both ways. He stated they have in-serviced all staff, including the rehab
department. He stated everyone had been working with the residents, with whatever method the residents
were comfortable with. He stated they had to honor the residents' right to choose, while still working to help
improve the quality of life and functionality of the resident. He would not say that there was a risk in
everyone not using the same method of transferring the resident. He stated they had changed the way they
operate, since the incident because, even in therapy, they had to begin to use the mechanical lift and
two-person assist for all transfers.
Review of the facility's gait belt policy, revision date 12/2022, and titled Use of Gait Belt Policy reflected: 3. It
will be the responsibility of each employee to ensure they have it (gait belt) available for use at all times
when at work. 5. Failure to use gait belt properly could result in harm to employee and resident and may
result in termination.
