There were no assessments for risks of skin breakdown documented in Resident #1's clinical record following their change in mobility and continence status that occurred on 03/08/24 through 04/08/24. No updates were made to Resident #1's Care Plan addressing interventions to prevent skin breakdown following their change of condition on 03/08/24. On 04/10/24 at 4:20 p.m., the DON was asked to review the RD's 'Nutrition Risk Assessment', the Care Plan, the Physician's Orders, and the Skilled Daily Nurse Notes for Resident #1 referenced above.

1 findingBased on record review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to assess, monitor, and intervene for one (#7) of two sampled residents reviewed for falls. Resident #7 sustained a fracture due to a fall and had complaints of increased pain. The facility failed to throughly assess the resident after the fall, failed to monitor her for increased complaints of pain, and failed to obtain X-rays of the injured site in a timely manner. This resulted in actual harm to the resident. The facility identified four residents who had sustained falls within the last 30 days. The facility Census and Conditions report, dated 12/16/14, documented 36 residents resided in the facility. Findings: Resident #7 had a new [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

The report documented the resident requested her physician be notified. The resident was administered [MEDICATION NAME] and the physician was notified. A new order was issued by the physician to obtain a mobile x-ray or send the resident to the emergency room for evaluation. The note further documented a mobile x-ray was obtained (no time was given). A nurse's note, dated 12/14/14 at 3:00 p.m., documented the resident continued to complain of pain to her left side ribs. The note further documented no x-ray results had been received at this time. The clinical record contained no additional information regarding assessments or monitoring for the fall/pain. On 12/17/14 at 3:00 p.m., the resident was interviewed. She stated she fell last Thursday in the bathroom and hit her left shoulder and ribs on a metal waste basket. The resident was asked if she told anyone that she had fallen. She stated she had reported the fall. The resident was asked if the pain kept her from attending activities or kept her from doing her normal activities. She stated, "Yes, it had because every time I moved the pain would grab me." The resident added sometimes she would "screech" because of the pain. The resident stated, "I just stayed in bed a lot, because it hurt to move." On 12/17/14 at 3:08 p.m., the resident's primary care physician's office was contacted. The physician wasn't in the office, so the office nurse was interviewed. She reviewed the resident's chart and stated she couldn't find any documentation to indicate the physician had been notified regarding the fall on either 12/11/14 or 12/13/14. On 12/17/14 at 4:34 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) was asked for additional documentation regarding the fall. She stated she didn't see any additional reports in the chart, but would look. On 12/18/14 at 8:28 a.m., the DON provided the x-ray report, dated 12/13/14, and stated it had been faxed to the facility on [DATE].

The DON was asked if there was documentation of any additional assessments having been conducted due to the resident's continued complaints of rib pain. She stated there was no documentation, "We could have been better." The DON then stated, "We should have assessed and followed up on the fall/pain." The DON was asked if she had been made aware of the resident's continued complaints of pain for the two days following the fall. She stated no one had informed her. The DON stated they should have done something prior to the resident crying and having to request her physician be called. The DON was asked for documentation the physician had been notified on 12/11/14. She stated there wasn't any, but he had been notified. She was asked if the physician had been informed the resident had complained of shoulder and rib pain.
