required a blood transfusion due to the blood
loss during surgery.

Based on interview and record review, the
facility's staff failed to follow its policy when
there was an incident or a change in a
resident's condition and report all findings for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 1).
Resident 1 slid down to the bathroom floor after
being assisted by CNAs 1 and 2 to the toilet.
The fall resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a
bilateral (both sides) fixated (broken bone
pieces that are out of alignment) hip fracture
(broken bone) with suboptimal (less than the
highest quality) left screw migration (movement
from one part to another).
These failures of CNAs 1 and 2 to report
Resident 1's fall resulted in a delay in care,
diagnosis, treatment, and pain to the pelvic
area requiring a transfer to the general acute
care hospital (GACH) and undergoing surgery
(2 days after incident).
