F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure safe use of a mechanical lift for a resident who had stiffness and impaired range of motion. The resident was dropped from the lift to the floor. The facility failed to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fall to plan for prevention of other falls. This deficient practice affected 1 of 5 residents reviewed for falls in a sample of 20. (Resident #18) Resident #18 fell from the lift and received a laceration to the head requiring sutures. Finding includes: The clinical record for Resident #18 was reviewed on 04/12/11 at 10:25 A.M. An acute care center history and physical, dated 09/15/10, indicated the resident had been treated for [REDACTED]. The most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #18, completed on 01/20/11, indicated she required total staff assistance for transferring needs and had impaired upper and lower extremity range of motion. Interview with LPN #8, during the initial tour of the facility, completed on 04/11/11 between 10:30 - 11:45 A.M. indicated the resident required transferring assistance from two staff and utilized a mechanical lift. Review of the Incident Follow-Up and Recommendation Form, completed on 09/15 and 09/16/10, regarding the fall for Resident #18 on 09/15/10, indicated the following: "Resident slid out of Hoyer while being transferred. Rec'd (received) laceration to head...Res transferred to ER (emergency room ) for eval rec'd 12 sutures to head. CNA's to be re-educated of proper use of Hoyer. will have maint (maintenance) check function of Hoyer lift." Interview with the Director of Nursing, on 04/13/11 at 9:30 A.M. indicated the maintenance had checked all the lifts in the facility and found no mechanical issues. When queried regarding whether the proper type of lift pad was being utilized at the time of the fall, wether the pad had been placed on the proper or same "loop", if the condition of the lift pad was checked, and how the resident and pad were noted when the nurse was called to the room, as well as statements from the two CNA staff, she indicated there were statements from the CNA's which did not indicate anymore information except that the resident had a tendency to roll to her left side and was "stiff." She indicated there had been no documentation regarding the position or condition of the lift pad because the resident's injuries had taken precedence when the nurse had entered the room. Observation of a transfer from bed to chair for Resident #18, conducted on 04/15/11 at 10:55 A.M. by CNA #10 and CNA #11, indicated a "full body" lift pad was utilized and the Hoyer mechanical lift was also utilized. The resident was noted to be thin, kept her arms contracted, and did tend to lean or list to her left side. Interviews with both CNA's indicated the "full body" lift pad was designated for Resident #18 due to her "stiffness." They indicated it was not "written" but both CNA's had been shown which lift pad to utilize when they were trained. 3.1-45(a)(2)
