Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to, based on the comprehensive assessment of a
resident, ensure that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the resident's choices for one of eight
residents (Resident #1) reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #1, who was on aspirin, had an unwitnessed fall with head injury and a significant amount of
bleeding from his head. He was transferred into the wheelchair and showered by LVN D and CNA E prior to
the completion of a full assessment. Resident #1 was subsequently sent to the hospital and diagnosed with
a displaced hip fracture which required surgery.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 04/25/24. While the IJ was removed on 04/26/24 at 3:30 PM,
the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated with potential for more than minimal harm that
is not immediate jeopardy, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of impairment or serious harm.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 04/26/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included: alcohol-induced dementia
(decline in memory, thinking, and behavior), major depressive disorder (mood disorder), pulmonary fibrosis
(scarring of lungs), chronic pain, dysphasia (difficulty swallowing), and muscle weakness.
Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS, dated [DATE], reflected the resident had severe cognitive
impairment with a BIMS score of 2. The resident was usually understood by other and usually understood
others. The resident required moderate assistance with all activities of daily living.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, revised on 11/12/23, reflected the resident had limited physical
mobility related to confusion and dementia with interventions to encourage participation in activities that
promote mobility and to monitor/document/report and s/sx of immobility, contractures forming or worsening,
thrombus (blood clots) formation, skin-breakdown, fall related injury. Resident #1 was high risk for falls
related to confusion and dementia with interventions that included anticipating and meeting resident needs,
ensuring call light was within reach, encouraging the resident to participate in activities that promote
exercise/improved mobility, ensure resident had on appropriate footwear, following the facilities fall protocol,
maintain a safe environment (floors free

describe the position Resident #1 was lying in so she could get an idea of how the fall occurred and it was
reported Resident #1 was lying near his roommate's bed with his feet towards the door. The DON stated
LVN D reported Resident #1 was lying in a pool of blood coming from behind his head, with no other
injuries observed. The DON stated LVN D reported Resident #1 grabbed his left side and said ouch but till
did not show signs his hip was fractured. The DON stated sometimes residents with dementia don't feel
pain due to pain transmitters not functioning. She stated LVN D reported Resident #1 was able to stand and
be transferred into a wheelchair to be taken to the shower room and cleaned up. The DON stated the
resident was a fall risk but was ambulatory and had not had any recent falls.
In an interview on 04/25/24 at 12:04 PM, LVN D stated she worked for the facility for 1 year. She stated she
worked overnight with Resident #1 on 4/22/24 when he had a fall. LVN D stated CNA E put Resident #1 to
bed for the night and when she went back to assist his roommate, she found Resident #1 on the floor. LVN
D stated CNA E notified her, and she went to the room to assess Resident #1. LVN D stated when she got
in the room, she saw a lot of blood that appeared to be coming from the back right side Resident #1's head.
LVN D stated there was so much blood it scared her. LVN D stated Resident #1 took aspirin which might
have caused the excessive bleeding. LVN D stated she asked Resident #1 if she and CNA E could pick him
up and he replied yes. LVN D stated Resident #1 did not bear any weight on his legs while she and CNA E
lifted him into a wheelchair. LVN D stated Resident #1 was covered in blood, and she felt she needed to
strip his clothing and clean him off to do a thorough assessment. LVN D stated before removing Resident
#1 from the floor, the only assessing she did was taking his vitals, which were normal. LVN D stated she
was unable to do any further assessing due to the excessive blood, so Resident #1 was then taken to the
shower room to be cleaned off. LVN D stated once Resident #1 was cleaned off, there were no other
injuries noted besides a laceration to the back of his head. LVN D stated Resident #1 remained responsive
and was talking at his normal baseline, which was confused. LVN D stated she notified the MD and sent
Resident #1 out to the local hospital. LVN D stated Resident #1 did not indicate being in any pain until the
EMTs transferred him from the wheelchair onto the stretcher and he said ouch. When asked if a resident
was supposed to be moved without a full assessment if there was an obvious head injury, LVN D paused
then stated, You're right, I should not have moved him. LVN D stated she should have called someone
before moving Resident #1 and allowed the EMTs to move him in case of unknown head/neck injuries. LVN
D stated she was so shocked by all the blood and must have forgotten protocol in the moment, which was
to not move the resident and call emergency services and MD.
In an interview on 04/25/24 at 12:24 PM, CNA E stated she worked at the facility for almost 2 years. She
stated she worked with Resident #1 on 4/22/24 when he had a fall with a head injury. CNA E stated she
was assisting Resident #1 and his roommate to bed, then she had to step out for a second to grab an extra
pillow and when she returned, she found Resident #1 on the floor. CNA E stated Resident #1's bed was in
the lowest position, and he was fine when she left him, so she was unsure of how he fell. She stated
Resident #1 got out of bed on his own and wandered often. CNA E stated she immediately notified LVN D.
CNA E stated LVN D came into the room and tried to assess Resident #1 while he was on the floor but
there was too much blood for her to see properly, so she told CNA E to grab a wheelchair for them to place
Resident #1 in. CNA E stated LVN D took Resident #1's vitals once they got him in the wheelchair, then
they took him to the shower room to clean him off so LVN D could assess him. CNA E stated Resident #1
was still acting like himself and talking while they were moving him. She stated Resident #1 did not indicate
being in any pain initially and was even able to stand and help them transfer him into the wheelchair. CNA E
stated LVN D got Resident #1 cleaned up and saw the wound to the back of his head and stated he

needed to be sent out to the hospital. CNA E stated EMTs arrived shortly after LVN D notified the MD and
when EMTs were putting Resident #1 on the stretcher he yelled ouch.
An attempted interview on 04/25/24 at 12:51 PM with Resident #1's RP was unsuccessful due to no
response to phone call.
In an interview on 04/25/24 at 1:04 PM, ADON A stated she worked at the facility since September 2022.
ADON A stated at the start of her shift on 04/23/24, she checked incidents and found Resident #1 had a fall
with a laceration to his head and was sent out to the hospital. ADON A stated she spoke with LVN D, and
she reported Resident #1 had a fall, he was assessed, and sent out to the local hospital. ADON A stated
LVN D did not report that she was unable to complete an assessment on Resident #1 before moving him.
ADON A stated staff were in-serviced very frequently on fall protocols, and the trainings included proper
assessments and notification. ADON A stated a proper assessment for an unwitnessed fall or a fall with an
obvious head injury would be to do neurological checks, check head-to-toes for injuries, and assess for
pain before moving to prevent further injury if any. ADON A stated if a nurse was unable to complete an
assessment, they would be expected to leave the resident on the floor and call another nurse or the MD for
further instructions.
In an interview on 04/25/24 at 4:15 PM, the DON stated LVN D reported following fall protocols by
assessing Resident #1 before moving him into the wheelchair. The DON stated LVN D did not report she
was unable to complete an assessment on Resident #1, otherwise, corrective action would have been
taken then. The DON stated the protocol for an unwitnessed fall with an injury was to assess the resident
head-to toe before moving him/her, check for obvious injuries, complete neurological checks including
assessing eyes for alertness and focus. The DON stated the risk of not completing an assessment before
moving a resident after an unwitnessed fall or a fall with an injury could be causing further harm to the
resident.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Assessing Falls and their Causes revised March 2018 reflected in
part the following:
Purpose: The purposes of this procedure are to provide guidelines for assessing a resident after a fall and
to assist staff in identifying causes of the fall.
.
Steps in the procedure
After a fall:
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.
2. Obtain and record vital signs as soon as it is safe to do so.
3. If there is evidence of injury, provide appropriate first aid and/or obtain medical treatment immediately.
4. If an assessment rules out significant injury, help the resident to a comfortable sitting, lying, or standing
position, and then document relevant details.
