Review of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #4's interview statement dated 01/14/13 revealed STNA #2 reported Resident #84 was very uncooperative with getting out of bed. STNA #2 said that once she got Resident #84 into the wheelchair she noticed a bump on her leg and the resident said her leg was hurting. The nurse indicated there was a big bump but it was not red or bruised and there was no broken skin. The bump was hard to touch and painful to the resident while palpating. Observation and interview of Resident #84 on 01/31/13 at 12:20 P.M. revealed a long leg cast on the right leg. The cast was covering the right leg from the toes to the upper thigh just below the groin. Resident #84 was unable to say how her leg was injured or why the cast had been applied. Interview with LPN #5 and the director of nursing on 01/31/13 at 3:50 P.M. confirmed Resident #84's plan of care indicated she was a two person transfer. The DON also confirmed that on 01/12/13 at 6:30 P.M. Resident #84 was transferred with one staff. Immediately after the transfer Resident #84 was noted to have a knot, swelling and pain to the right lower leg. An x-ray completed on 01/13/13 revealed right tibia and fibular fractures. This deficiency was an incidental finding during the complaint investigation for #OH 701.
