I. Based on observations, record review and interviews the facility failed to conduct a complete, and accurate comprehensive assessment of each resident's functional capacity, and reassess on an ongoing basis to meet the resident's needs by failing to 1. conduct an assessment prior to resident #15 being moved from the floor to the bed following a fall; and 2. conduct a complete, accurate, comprehensive and ongoing assessment of injuries following a fall, for 1 resident (#15) out of 4 sampled residents reviewed for accidents, out of a total of 37 sampled residents.

F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observations, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remains as free of accident hazards as possible, and each resident receives adequate supervision and/or assistance devices to prevent accidents, by failing to ensure measures were in place to prevent 1 resident (#15) from falling out of bed by: 1. Placing resident #15 back into the same bed the resident had fallen from without assessing and taking immediate interventions to prevent her from falling out of the bed again; and An Immediate Jeopardy situation for the resident began on 7/9/11 at 5:45 a.m., when Resident #15 fell from the bed onto the floor. The resident was then picked up by S15CNA and S16CNA, and was placed back into her bed. The facility did not assess the Resident ' s environmental area because the Resident was placed back in the same bed that the resident fell from. Resident #15 had experienced a bruise to her right eye and forehead, and a tibula/fibula fracture of her left lower leg. This was not discovered until S30CNA reported that the Resident was screaming in pain, and the LPN completed an assessment of the Resident ' s lower extremities on 7/9/11 at 11:45 a.m. The resident was then sent to the emergency room , where it was discovered the resident ' s lower left leg was fractured.

When questioned about the resident's bed, she verified the resident's bed was not a low bed, but was kept in a lower position, although not always the lowest position. During an interview with S14LPN on 7/14/11 at 5:45 p.m., she verified she was the nurse working with resident #15 on 7/9/11 at the time of the fall. She verbalized she was called to the resident's room around 5:45 a.m. by S16CNA because resident #15 was on the floor. She also stated resident #15 has a history of sliding down the bed and has to be pulled up to the head of bed. She also verbalized the resident can cross one leg over the other, and can slide out of the bed by doing this. S14 stated the resident has some bed mobility. She indicated the side rails were up when the resident fell , and the side rail pads were in place. S14 verified the resident was not in a low bed, although her bed should be kept in the lowest position. During a phone interview with S15CNA on 7/14/11 at 6:15 p.m. she verified she was working the shift when resident #15 fell out of bed. She stated that S16CNA had called her to help put the resident back in the bed. When she went in the room the resident was on the floor, on the left side with head towards the doorway, and feet a few inches away from the underside of the bed. S15 stated the side rails were up and there was padding to only one side of the bed, the right side. S15 stated she did not remember the left side rail having a pad on it. She stated she had taken care of the resident a couple of times before, and the resident had not slid out or down the bed, but other CNAs had reported to her that the resident would slide down and her feet would dangle off of the bed. During a phone interview with S16CNA on 7/15/11 at 8:30 a.m., she verified she was the CNA who found resident #15 on the floor on 7/9/11. She stated about 5:45 a.m., she was following another resident, who was wandering around the unit, and into resident #15's room, when she saw resident #15 lying on the floor on the left side of body, with head towards the door. She stated she covered the resident and went to get S15CNA to help put the resident in the bed. S16 stated she called S14LPN, after they had transferred resident #15 back into the bed. S16 stated the resident frequently slid down in bed and had to be pulled back up in bed. She verbalized staff were aware of the resident doing this, and aware that the resident's legs were sometimes found hanging over the side of the bed. She indicated when she found the resident on the floor, the side rails were up at and the pads were on both sides of the side rails. S16 stated S15 helped to put the resident back in bed by putting their arms under the resident's arms, and lifted the resident to the bed. She also stated, that the night the resident fell was the first night the resident had slept on the new air mattress, stating the previous mattress was not inflating the right way, so the facility changed the mattress. She indicated during the night shift of the resident ' s fall, she had to pull the resident up more frequently than she usually did, and indicated she thought the new mattress may have had something to do with having to reposition the resident so frequently. Review of a written statement from S16CNA of 7/9/11 at 5:45 a.m., indicated the resident was sometimes noted to be on the rail, and sometimes her feet were hanging out the bed, and she would sometimes also be low in the bed or sideways.

She stated the resident still tries to cross one leg over the other one, as the resident did before the accident. S17 indicated staff still have to pull the resident up in bed because of sliding down. She also indicated the head of the resident ' s bed was kept raised up about 30 degrees. S17 verified a new air mattress had been put on the resident ' s bed recently, because the air mattress the resident had been sleeping on, was not inflating correctly. She verbalized the bed that the resident was in prior to the accident, is the same bed the resident was put back into following the accident. The resident now has floor mats to either side of the bed, and a bed alarm. She indicated, to her knowledge, S11Maintenance had replaced the mattress and adjusted the settings, but she was not sure.
