fifth fall resulted in serious injuries that included
a fracture (broken bone) nose and facial
lacerations (deep cuts) and required a transfer
to the general acute care hospital (GACH).
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1
having multiple falls and sustaining a laceration
to the left eyelid, skin tears to the bridge of the
nose and left forearm, and a nasal (relating to
the nose) fracture confirmed at the GACH on
2/7/2020. Resident 1 was readmitted to the
facility on 2/8/2020 and 20 hours after
readmission, Resident 1 had a sixth fall with
minor injuries after not being supervised 1:1 as
per the physician's order and the resident's
plan of care. Resident 1, who used to walk
independently (without assistance), required a
wheelchair for mobility.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Face Sheet
(Admission Record) indicated the resident was
originally admitted to the facility on 4/14/14 and
last readmitted on 1/29/2020. Resident 1's
diagnoses included anxiety disorder (feelings of
worry, anxiety, or fear), schizophrenia (disorder
that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and
behave clearly), and extrapyramidal and
movement disorder ([EPS] side effects caused
by certain antipsychotic [used to treat mental
disorder] and other drugs).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS), dated 4/26/19 indicated Resident 1
had the ability to usually understand and be
understood by others. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 had impaired vision, was
independent in bed mobility, transfers and toilet
use, and required supervision with setup for
other activities of daily living (ADL) including
walking, locomotion, hygiene and bathing.

walking was steady, but unsteady when turning
around without the use of mobility devices.
Resident 1 was continent (ability to control) of
bowel and bladder. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 had no falls since admission and/or
entry of prior assessment.
A review of Resident 1's Morse Fall Scale (fall
risk assessment), dated 7/26/19 indicated
Resident 1 had a high risk for falls with a score
of 45 (a score of 45 and higher indicated high
risk).
A review of a Situation Background
Assessment and Recommendation ([SBAR] an
internal communication form) and Nurse's
Progress Note, dated 8/7/19 and timed at 12:45
p.m., indicated Resident 1 was seen on his
buttocks on the floor next to the chair in the
dining room. The resident was alert and
oriented to person and place and ambulating
(walking) without assistance. There were no
injuries observed at time of incident.
A review of Resident 1's care plan titled,
"Actual Fall/Poor Balance," initiated 8/7/19
indicated the staff would do the following:
-Attempt to determine and address causative
factors of the fall.
-Monitor for 72-hours, document and report
when necessary to physician, change in mental
status, confusion, sleepiness, inability to
maintain posture, agitation.
-Provide activities that promote exercise and
strength building where possible or 1:1 activity
if bedbound.
A review of Resident 1's Morse Fall Scale,
dated 8/7/19 remained unchanged from
7/26/19 with the resident having a high risk for
falls.
