This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy by not investigating and reporting to the Department of Public Health Services (DPH), within two (2) hours in accordance with State Regulations, an injury of unknown origin for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice had the potential to jeopardize Resident 1's and other residents' safety within the facility. Findings: A review of Resident 1's Admission Face sheet indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 1/9/18. Resident 1's diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness, diabetes ([DM] high blood sugar), hypertension (high blood pressure), and left-sided hemiparesis (inability to move one side of the body).

The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent with bed mobility, transferring, locomotion on and off the unit, and required assistance with eating and personal hygiene. A review of a licensed nursing note, dated 3/1/18, and timed at 9:45 a.m., indicated two certified nursing assistants (CNAs) observed Resident 1, on the same day, with a slight bluish discoloration of the left upper arm during care. The note indicated Resident 1 complained of mild discomfort to the left upper arm with a pain level 1 to 2 out of 10 (pain scale). According to the note, Resident 1's left arm was contracted (permanent condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, leading to deformity and rigidity of joints) and the resident kept the arm towards the chest area. A review of a licensed nursing note, dated 3/1/18, and timed at 10:30 a.m., indicated Resident 1's physician was notified of the resident's bluish discoloration of the left upper arm.
