Their investigation discovered RN 1 was working around that time who was administering a significant amount of as needed medication (PRN) and her statements were incriminating. RN 1 was put on suspension during the investigation and later resigned. The Dilaudid was delivered via a shipping partner from a hospice pharmacy while the resident was sent out to inpatient care. Once the resident returned to the facility, the Dilaudid was placed into the medication cart lock box. On 7/31/23 at 11:30 a.m., Resident C's clinical record was reviewed.

A hospital health and physical, dated 7/18/22 at 4:15 P.M., indicated the resident presented to the emergency department with an open right armpit wound secondary to injury that occurred last night. The patient fell from her bed onto the floor after having her right arm pulled with significant force. Nursing home nurses attempted to pack the wound and control the bleeding temporarily, though she had continued bleeding profusely throughout the day. The patient had a chronic right auxiliary wound that required a wound VAC which was removed 4 weeks ago. The scab was busted open in the fall and had been bleeding profusely. The wound was repacked at the hospital before the resident discharged back to the facility.

She had an hour left in her shift when the resident asked for help getting out of her wheelchair and into her bed for the night. The CNA asked the resident how she transferred and the resident told her that she could stand and pivot. The resident instructed the aide to count to 3, pulled up on her pants, and slid her from her wheelchair to her bed. The CNA attempted to self transfer the resident and when she counted to 3, the resident did not fully stand, so her bottom came back down into the wheelchair. Together they attempted to get her transferred a second time, and this was when the resident ended up with half of her bottom in the bed and half on the wheelchair seat. The resident began to slide down, so she assisted her to the floor. The CNA went to get RN 1 for help, and upon entry, the RN indicated they could not use the full body dependent mechanical lift since it did not go all the way to the floor. RN 1 indicated they needed to manually lift the resident up off of the floor by pulling underneath the resident's shoulders. At that time, the resident requested the RN place a pillow under her arm due to her wound. No pillow was provided. CNA 3 immediately saw blood on the resident's shirt and it was obvious it was coming from a bandage which she was not aware of the resident having a wound. The aide obtained a clean gown, cleaned her up, and made sure the resident was not hurting. During an interview on 7/22/22 at 10:30 A.M., RN 1 indicated she was working the night when the resident had the fall. CNA 3 came and told her the resident had fallen. When she came into the room, the resident was sitting on her bottom and facing the foot of the bed. RN 1 did not know the full body dependent mechanical lift went all the way down to the ground, so she told the aide to put her foot in front of the resident's feet for traction, lift up under her arms, and push up on her bottom. The RN stood on the resident's right side and the CNA was on the left. Since the bed was in low position, they just slid her over to her bed. The resident initially complained of pain in her right arm while on floor, but did not complain of pain until later in the shift until it was discovered she was bleeding. The nurse repacked the wound, and then a few hours later, the wound was still bleeding. During an interview on 7/22/22 at 10:45 A.M., the resident indicated the wound doctor had assessed her wound and she would need a wound VAC. She indicated she was frustrated she needed to have the wound VAC and the treatment would set her progress back a couple of months. During an interview on 7/22/22 at 10:54 A.M., the resident's wound doctor indicated the resident required a wound VAC due to the fall incident. During an interview on 7/22/22 at 1:37 P.M., the Director of Nursing indicated the wound doctor ordered a wound VAC for the resident which should arrive on Monday, 7/25/22. The facility would utilize wet-to-dry dressing changes until the wound VAC arrived. She indicated therapy ordered the slide board. The facility did not have a policy in regard to resident transfers. During an interview on 7/25/22 at 12:26 P.M., Resident 26 was observed with wound VAC in place on her right chest. The resident indicated she was very depressed with the wound VAC. She demonstrated she could not raise her right arm above her shoulders and the presence of the wound VAC set her progress back at least two months, which was very frustrating to her. The Immediate Jeopardy, that began on 6/7/22, was removed on 7/23/22 when the facility educated and trained staff on the proper assistance levels for resident transfers, ensured policies and procedures were followed, and ensured monitoring was in place, but the noncompliance remained at the lower scope and severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy because a systemic plan of correction had not been developed and implemented to prevent recurrence. 3.1-45(a)(2)
