F695D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure proper airway management for 1 of 1 residents reviewed with a laryngectomy. A self-assessment for care was not performed, documentation was not accurate, and the facility did not have the correct parts for the laryngectomy tube ([NAME] Tube). (Resident 44) Finding includes: On 6/29/29/25 at 11:00 A.M., Resident 44's [NAME] Tube was observed laying on the resident's bed. The resident realized it was out and the resident placed it back into the laryngectomy stoma (surgical incision and removal of the larynx). On 6/30/25 at 10:00 A.M., Resident 44's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, tracheostomy, neoplasm of the larynx, esophageal fistula post tracheostomy, and absence of the larynx. The current Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 5/12/25, indicated Resident 44 was cognitively impaired. Resident 44 had a laryngectomy, had a g-tube for tube feeding, and needed supervision with hygiene, transferring, and dressing. Current Physicians orders: If [NAME] tube TPE (tracheoesophageal Puncture) outer part of [NAME] tube comes out place red rubber catheter in place and send to ER every day and night shift ordered 2/10/2025 [NAME] tube monitoring: monitor for placement and function of [NAME] tube every shift every shift ordered 2/11/2025 Monitor [NAME] site for s/sx (signs and symptoms) of infection every shift every shift ordered 2/11/2025 stoma site to be cleansed with normal saline around TPE; remove [NAME] tube and cleanse with NS (Normal Saline) and reinsert every day and night shift ordered 2/25/2025 ENHANCED BARRIER PRECAUTIONS: Gloves and gown prior to the high-contact care activity. Face protection when performing activity with risk of splash or spray. (Change PPE [Personal Protective Equipment] and complete hand hygiene prior to caring for another resident). every shift for PEG, [NAME]-tube ordered 3/5/25 The clinical record lacked physician orders for the resident to perform his own stoma care. The care plans were reviewed in a care plan conference on 5/5/25. The care plan lacked an intervention that indicated the resident was capable of performing his own stoma care. A [name of hospital] Speech Pathologist progress note, dated 2/4/25, indicated that the resident was educated on laryngectomy care, voice prosthesis insertion, and other products. The note indicated that the patient and a family member would keep the integrity of the fistula and would keep it clean. The Speech Pathologist indicated that the resident was not independent with care and was interested in placement in a Skilled Nursing Facility due to the amount of care that the resident needed. There was no documentation that noted the resident was assessed or observed the resident skills for caring for the stoma. The resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A nursing admission note, dated 2/5/25, indicated that the resident had a tracheostomy and not a laryngectomy. The note lacked measurement and assessment of the stoma. A [name of hospital] Speech Pathologist progress note, dated 2/11/25, indicated that the resident had thick secretions and developed an abscess in the stoma which was irritated by the [NAME] Tube. The [NAME] Tube was removed by the therapist and instructed the resident not to use the [NAME] Tube and the housing. The progress notes indicated that there would be a referral sent to an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) physician regarding the status of the stoma. It was also noted that the therapist instructed the former Director of Nursing (DON) on the care of the laryngectomy stoma that was first thought to be a tracheostomy. Instructions included the daily care of the stoma, when to contact the therapist, and to place a 20 French red rubber catheter if the prosthesis fell out and then send the resident to the emergency room (ER). A nursing progress note, dated 6/7/25 at 5:48 P.M., indicated that the staff sent the resident to the hospital because the [NAME] Tube had a missing piece that needed to be replaced. ER documentation, dated 6/7/25, indicated the resident was evaluated. The ER did not have the equipment needed to replace the part that was missing and it needed to be ordered. The physician indicated that the fistula was stable and could be left open, so the resident was to be sent back to the facility with orders to be sent to the ENT clinic that week. The June Medication Administration Record / Treatment Administration Record (MAR/TAR) indicated that staff performed all stoma care and the resident did not perform any of his own stoma care. The clinical record lacked an assessment of the resident's skills for laryngectomy care and tube. During an interview on 6/30/25 at 11:20 A.M., Resident 44 indicated the staff did not clean his stoma and he was supposed to have it cleaned two to three times a day. The resident was very upset about that not being done. At that time, he was observed lying in bed with his [NAME] tube placed beside him in the bed. During an interview on 6/30/25 at 2:15 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 17 indicated that the resident wanted to do the stoma care himself most of the time. She indicated that she documented that she did it even when the resident did it. During an interview on 6/30/25 at 3:15 P.M., LPN 23 indicated the [NAME] Tube should be in all the time and that the resident was non-compliant with care. She indicated that the nursing staff had an in-service training for trach care. During an interview on 6/30/25 at 5:40 P.M., a family member indicated that she had performed stoma care for the resident several times and that the facility did not have the right equipment for the [NAME] Tube. The family indicated that they had been dealing with that problem since the resident had been admitted to the facility. The family member also indicated that the facility was supposed to order the equipment needed for the [NAME] Tube. The staff treated the stoma as a trach on admission. During an interview on 7/1/25 at 9:15 A.M., the DON indicated that the resident had a [NAME] Tube. Nursing staff was to clean the stoma and the outer part of the device every shift with saline. She indicated that the resident sometimes wanted to do the care himself, and there should be documentation in the progress notes when that happened. She indicated that the resident went to the ER on [DATE] and a red catheter was placed. She indicated that during that visit the ENT on call did not have a part for the tube and it would have to be ordered. She also indicated that there should be an order for the resident to do his own care. On 7/1/25 at 1:30 P.M., the DON provided a staff skills evaluation, dated 2/10/25, for tracheostomy care and gastro feeding tube care. During an interview on 7/2/25 at 12:31 P.M., the DON indicated staff were trained verbally on how to care for the [NAME] Tube by the former DON. Care for a laryngeal tube was different from a tracheostomy tube so the Speech Pathologist from [name of hospital] instructed the former DON, and the former DON relayed the information verbally to staff. On 7/2/25 at 2:00 P.M, the DON provided a nursing staff skills check-off training list, dated 2/25/25, for the [NAME] Tube. On 7/3/25 at 10:04 A.M., the Administrator provided a current Tracheostomy Care policy, dated 1/2/24, but it lacked information regarding the care of a laryngectomy.

Date Initiated: 9/29/21 The electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) on 4/13/25 indicated Resident 98 had an abnormal low blood pressure of 68/53 and an abnormal high heart rate of 133. The clinical record lacked a rechecked blood pressure, or a notification to the physician of abnormal vitals. During an interview on 7/3/25 at 12:20 P.M., the Administrator indicated a second blood pressure was obtained and was within normal limits, but was not documented. The Administrator was unable to provide the second set of vitals obtained. On 7/3/25 at 10:04 A.M., the Administrator provided a Change in Condition / Physician Notification policy, revised 3/19/25, that indicated The charge nurse will document timely regarding the change in resident's/patient's condition, interventions, and notifications.

On 7/3/25 at 10:04 A.M., the Administrator provided a Fall Prevention policy, dated 1/2/24, that indicated When any resident experiences a fall, the facility will .document all assessments and actions. On 7/3/25 at 10:04 A.M., the Administrator provided a Documentation in the Medical Record policy, dated 1/2/24, that indicated Licensed staff and interdisciplinary team members shall document all assessments, observations, and services provided in the resident's medical record in accordance with state law and facility policy. Documentation shall be completed at the time of service, but no later than the shift in which the assessment, observation, or care service occurred . Documentation shall be accurate, relevant, and complete, containing sufficient details about the resident's care and/or responses to care. Documentation shall be timely and in chronological order. 3.1-50(a)(1) 3.1-50(a)(2) 3.1-50(a)(3) Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure documentation was complete and accurate for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for falls and 1 of 1 residents reviewed for death. (Resident 95 and Resident 98) Findings include: 1. On 7/1/25 at 9:29 A.M., Resident 95's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's Disease and traumatic subdural hemorrhage. The most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 6/5/25, indicated that Resident 95 was cognitively intact, required partial to moderate assistance of staff (staff does less than half of the effort) to roll left to right and for a sit to stand transfer, and had one fall with injury since the prior assessment. A care plan conference was completed on 5/5/25. Falls and care plans were reviewed. A current risk for falls care plan, dated 3/31/25, included, but was not limited to, the following interventions: Door to room will be left open for visualization, dated 5/5/25 A nursing progress note, dated 5/4/25 at 8:02 A.M., indicated that Resident 95 sustained an unwitnessed fall. He was noted to be soiled with bowel movement. A nursing progress note, dated 5/4/25 at 8:18 A.M., indicated that at 9:30 P.M., Resident 95 had an unwitnessed fall while attempting to go to the closet. An Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) note, dated 5/5/25 at 10:55 A.M., indicated the fall on 5/3/25 at night was reviewed. Door to room will be left open for visualization was added to the care plan at that time. An IDT note, dated 5/5/25 at 11:24 A.M., indicated the fall on 5/4/25 was reviewed. The clinical record lacked documentation that the physician and resident representative was notified of the falls on 5/3/25 and 5/4/25 or that the resident was assessed after the fall on 5/3/25 at 9:30 P.M. until the next morning. An SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) note, dated 5/6/25 at 8:05 A.M., indicated that Resident 95 had a witnessed fall while attempting to get the TV remote from under his bed. The clinical record lacked documentation of an IDT meeting to review that fall or an intervention added to the care plan. On 7/1/25 at 11:00 A.M., Resident 95's door was observed closed. On 7/2/25 at 8:51 A.M., Resident 95's door was observed closed. On 7/2/25 at 9:32 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) provided risk management reports dated 5/3/25 at 9:30 P.M. and 5/4/25 at 7:25 A.M. The reports indicated that the resident was assessed, and the Nurse Practitioner (NP) and resident representative were notified of the falls at the time the resident fell. The risk management reports indicated they were not part of the medical record. At that time, the DON indicated that staff should put all fall incident report information into a progress note because the risk management report did not cross over into the clinical record. During an interview on 7/2/25 at 1:26 P.M., the DON indicated Resident 95 did not actually fall on 5/6/25. The nurse that charted the SBAR was instructed to chart it as a fall by the former DON, but it wasn't a fall because the resident was intentionally getting on the ground to look for the TV remote and he was able to stand back up by himself with the assistance of the side of the bed. During an interview on 7/3/25 at 8:29 A.M., the Administrator indicated that Resident 95 preferred his door closed and the facility failed to remove that intervention from the care plan. On 7/3/25 at 9:23 A.M., the DON provided a risk management report, dated 5/21/25 at 7:20 A.M., that indicated the resident and resident representative were educated on safety for fall interventions and the resident representative indicated to leave the door closed if that was what the resident preferred. The risk management report indicated it was not part of the medical record. At that time, the DON indicated that the facility failed to document the discussion with the resident representative and change of intervention in the clinical record.

This deficient practice resulted in Resident 35 being hospitalized for the treatment of urethral obstruction and sepsis. (Resident 35) Finding includes: On 5/2/24 at 9:30 A.M., a family member indicated Resident 35 had been admitted to the hospital with sepsis due to a UTI (urinary tract infection). The family member indicated she told the facility there was blood in the tubing and bag on 4/17/24 and staff told her they did not change catheters anymore. On 5/3/24 at 8:44 A.M., Resident 35's clinical record was reviewed. The resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an indwelling Foley (urinary) catheter and a history of UTIs, chronic kidney disease, and dementia. The most current Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 4/23/24, indicated that Resident 35 had severe cognitive impairment, had no behaviors, required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting (helper does more than half), had an indwelling catheter, and did not have a UTI in the last 30 days. A current indwelling catheter care plan, initiated 6/30/23, indicated that Resident 35 was at risk for infections and complications related to indwelling catheter use. The interventions included, but were not limited to: Assess quarterly and as needed for appropriateness of continued use of catheter, catheter/peri care at least every shift and as needed, encourage fluids, keep drainage bag and tubing below level of the bladder, notify MD (medical doctor) of abnormal findings, observe for signs of pain or discomfort related to catheter, observe for symptoms of urinary tract infection: pain, burning, blood tinged urine, cloudiness, no output, deepening of urine color, increased pulse, increased temperature, urinary frequency, foul smelling urine, fever, chills, altered mental status, change in behavior, change in eating patterns.

May irrigate Foley Catheter with 10 mL sterile H2O (water) or normal saline as needed for maintenance, dated 4/19/24. An Admission Nursing Assessment, dated 6/29/23, indicated Resident 35 had a chronic indwelling Foley catheter, urine that was cloudy and white, and a UTI within the last 30 days. The assessment indicated Resident 35 required an indwelling urinary catheter due to a history of urinary retention with greater than 200 ml (milliters) of residual urine. The resident's medical record did not include any other nursing assessments or assessments for appropriateness of continued use of catheter. A Nursing Progress Note, dated 1/2/24, indicated the indwelling Foley catheter was changed on 1/2/24 with a return of pink tinged urine. The Treatment Administration Record (TAR) indicated Resident 35's indwelling Foley catheter was changed on 2/1/24 and 3/1/24.

The TAR, progress notes, weekly nursing summaries, focused charting, or evaluations from 1/3/24 to 3/31/24 did not include documentation to show the resident was effectively monitored for signs/symptoms of adverse outcomes of indwelling urinary catheter placement or a UTI. The April 2024 TAR indicated the indwelling urinary catheter was changed on 4/1/24. The progress notes, weekly nursing summaries, focused charting, or evaluations from 4/1/24 to 4/29/24 did not include documentation to specifically determine the characteristics of the procedure, to show the resident was effectively monitored for signs/symptoms of adverse outcomes, or for indwelling urinary catheter placement. The nursing progress notes and TAR, dated 4/30/24 through 5/1/24 at 12:44 P.M., did not include documentation to show Resident 35 experienced bloody urine or had potentially pulled on the catheter tubing. The records did not include sufficient documentation to determine Resident 35 was effectively monitored for bloody urine, catheter placement, or urine output. A Change in Condition Evaluation, dated 4/30/24, indicated the primary care physician (PCP) was notified on, 4/30/24 at 12:45 P.M., due to the resident having increased sweat, generalized weakness, generalized pain, and a fever of 100.0 Fahrenheit (F). 650 mg (milligrams) of Tylenol were given. The PCP ordered a chest x-ray, complete blood count (Complete Blood Count), and basic metabolic panel (Basic Metabolic Panel). A nursing progress note, dated 4/30/24, indicated Pulled up completed labs and WBC [white blood count] was 20.8 [elevated level indicating infection] and Lymphs [lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell] 4.8 [elevated level indicating infection], resident restless, skin warm and dry, B/P [blood pressure] -94/57,P [pulse] -101 at 22:00 [11:00 P.M.] now B/P-89/55, P-97, respiration even and nonlabored, color satis [sic], urine dark yellow. Will continue to monitor. A Physician Telehealth note, dated 5/1/24 at 12:24 A.M., indicated the resident had some mental status change, fever, and appeared to be uncomfortable. Blood pressure was 89/50, oxygen saturation was closer to 90 percent on room air, and the resident was tachycardic (increased heart rate) and mildly tachypneic (increased rate of breathing). The chest x-ray did not show any acute changes. Creatinine (used to measure kidney function) and WBC were elevated. An order was given to send the resident to the emergency room (ER) for treatment and evaluation. An ER Admission Note, dated 5/1/24, indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the hospital to be treated for obstructive uropathy, sepsis secondary to UTI, and acute kidney injury. A CT (computed tomography) scan indicated the Foley catheter balloon was inflated in the urethra. Hospital staff changed the Foley catheter and had quite a bit of purulent [thick, milky] drainage come out. The resident was started on IV (intravenous) Vancomycin (antibiotic medication) and IV ertapenem (antibiotic medication). On 5/2/24 at 12:58 P.M., Registered Nurse (RN) 5 indicated that the facility policy changed on or around 4/19/24 to reflect the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance to only change out indwelling foley catheters as needed unless the doctor orders say otherwise. The nurses did change catheters if required. On 5/3/24 at 10:55 A.M., a family member indicated Resident 35 was in the hospital for treatment of a UTI and sepsis. She indicated that she observed blood in the resident's urine in both the catheter tubing and bag on multiple occasions and that the resident had less urine output than normal over the past two weeks. She indicated that she told staff about her concerns and requested for the catheter to be changed but was told that staff don't change the catheters anymore. On 5/3/24 at 12:00 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 8 indicated she was working the day Resident 35 was sent to the hospital. She indicated Resident 35 had a fever of 100 F that morning, was sweaty, and not acting like himself so she called the Nurse Practitioner (NP) who ordered a CBC, BMP, and chest x-ray. She indicated the resident had blood in his urine the day before, but they thought he had pulled on the tube and irritated his urethra because it cleared up. She indicated the resident had no obvious signs of UTI and his baseline urine was cloudy. At that time, she indicated there was no place to document a catheter assessment. The TAR was marked complete when Foley catheter care was completed and any abnormalities would get reported to the nurse, assessed, and documented in a progress note. On 5/6/24 at 9:15 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated catheter assessments were charted as a general progress note or in a change of condition form. If the assessment was normal nothing would be documented. At that time, she indicated that if tasks were not initiated on the TAR, the task was not completed. She indicated that Foley catheter care and output from the catheter was not completed, assessed, or documented on the days missing a signature or appropriate charting code. On 5/8/24 at 8:45 A.M., all documentation related to Resident 35's indwelling Foley catheter including, but not limited to, assessments, monitoring, progress notes, Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) notes, evaluations, provider notes, change of condition forms, and TAR notes was requested. On 5/8/24 at 10:53 A.M., the Infection Preventionist (IP) indicated all applicable documentation had been provided. On 5/8/24 at 12:42 P.M., the IP indicated that she tracked CAUTI (catheter associated urinary tract infections) using a form and looked at all residents who had a catheter or received peri care. The IP indicated the current CAUTI tracking form did not include documentation related to Resident 35. On 5/8/24 at 1:04 P.M., the IP provided a CAUTI tracker form that indicated Resident 35 had not been tracked for UTI or related urinary symptoms since 9/22/23. On 5/6/24 at 1:58 P.M., the Administrator provided an Indwelling Catheter Use and Removal policy, dated 2023, that indicated The facility will conduct ongoing assessments for .residents with indwelling catheters to determine if the catheter needs to be continued or removed if the catheter is no longer necessary. If an indwelling catheter is in use, the facility will provide appropriate care for the catheter in accordance with current professional standards of practice and resident care policies and procedures that include but are not limited to: .timely and appropriate assessments related to the indication for use of an indwelling catheter; . insertion, ongoing care and catheter removal protocols that adhere to professional standards of practice and infection prevention and control procedures; response of the resident during the use of the catheter; and ongoing monitoring for changes in condition related to potential catheter-associated urinary tract infections, recognizing, reporting and addressing such changes.

(Resident 246) Finding includes: On 5/2/24 at 9:35 A.M., Resident 246's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, hypotension, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and disease of the pancreas. The most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/29/24, indicated Resident 246 was cognitively intact, required setup assistance for eating, and received a hypoglycemic medication during the 7-day look back period. Physician orders included, but were not limited to: Midodrine (a medication to treat low pressure) HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG (milligrams) - Give 3 tablets by mouth three times a day for hypotension hold if SBP (systolic blood pressure) more than 110, dated 4/24/24. Baqsimi (a medication used to treat low blood sugar) One Pack 3 MG/DOSE (milligrams per dose) Powder - 1 dose in nostril every 15 minutes as needed for hypoglycemia, dated 4/5/2024. Discontinued physician orders included, but were not limited to: Glucagon (a medication used to treat low blood sugar) Emergency Injection Kit 1 MG (milligram) - Inject 1 mg intramuscularly every 15 hours as needed for hypoglycemia, dated 4/5/24 and discontinued 4/5/24 for a therapeutic exchange. The April 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated midodrine was given on the following days that Resident 246's SBP was greater than 110: 4/26/24 at 6:30 A.M. - blood pressure was 119/72 mm/Hg (millimeters of Mercury) 4/27/24 at 6:30 A.M. - blood pressure was 119/68 mm/Hg 4/28/24 at 6:30 A.M. - blood pressure was 142/102 mm/Hg A Nursing Progress Note, dated 5/1/24 at 2:31 A.M., indicated Resident 246 was found non-responsive with a blood sugar level of 32. IM glucagon was given in the right leg. Blood sugar was taken again 10 minutes later with a result of 33. IM glucagon was given in the left leg. Blood sugar was taken again 10 minutes later with a result of 44. The resident remained non-responsive. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were called and the resident was transported to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. The Medical Doctor was notified of the resident's condition. A SBAR (Situation, Background, Appearance, Review and Notify) Communication Form, dated 5/1/24 at 2:00 A.M., indicated the primary care clinician was notified and orders were given to send the resident to the emergency room (ER). The form lacked documentation of an order for IM glucagon. An Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Note, dated 5/2/24 at 11:08 A.M., indicated the resident had a hypoglycemic episode and IM glucagon was administered twice before sending the resident to the ER for evaluation and treatment. The clinical record lacked an active order for IM glucagon on 5/1/24. The clinical record lacked documentation that the primary care clinician verbally gave an order for IM glucagon to be administered or the intranasal Baqsimi that the resident had ordered was to be held. On 5/6/24 at 9:15 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated that midodrine was given outside of parameters on 4/26, 4/27, and 4/28 and the medication should not have been given on those days. The DON indicated all diabetic residents had IM glucagon ordered and that the doctor set the parameters of that administration as part of the emergency hypoglycemic protocol. She indicated that pharmacy sometimes had to substitute intranasal Baqsimi for IM glucagon because there was frequently a back order of IM glucagon. On 5/6/24 at 1:32 P.M., the DON indicated the IM glucagon order on 4/5/24 was therapeutically exchanged for nasal administration because the pharmacy said the IM glucagon was on back order. LPN 15 was on duty 5/1/24 and saw the resident previously had glucagon IM ordered and called the doctor who gave the order to administer IM glucagon. She indicated it was too busy that night to document or put in an order. She was unsure if the IM glucagon was pulled from the EDK (emergency drug kit) or if it was a dose the facility had on hand and would have to check where the nurse got the medication. On 5/6/24 at 2:17 P.M., the DON indicated the IM glucagon administered to Resident 246 on 5/1/24 was in the top drawer of the medicine cart with the resident's name on it. It was from a past order they had on hand that was never returned to the pharmacy. She was unsure how long the medication had been in the medicine cart. She indicated that because the resident had a history of hypoglycemia and pharmacy frequently had glucagon on back order, the facility just kept the medication instead of returning it to the pharmacy. At that time, she indicated medications that had been discontinued should be sent back to the pharmacy. On 5/8/24 at 10:53 A.M., the Infection Preventionist (IP) provided a current Unnecessary Drugs - Without Adequate Indication for Use policy, dated 2024, that indicated The indications for initiating, withdrawing, or withholding medications, as well as the use of non-pharmacological approaches, will be determined by assessing the resident's underlying condition . On 5/8/24 at 10:53 A.M., the Infection Preventionist (IP) provided a current Medication and Treatment Orders policy, revised July 2016, that indicated Medications shall be administered only upon the written order of a person duly licensed and authorized to prescribe such medications in this state .

CNA # 1 had then left the room to obtain the hoyer lift and assistance.The DON indicated the resident was contracted, was on an air bed, and the 1/2 siderails were in the up position. The DON indicated CNA # 1 demonstrated to him how she had positioned the resident's legs, with knees up and ankles toward outward. The DON indicated when CNA # 1 returned to the room, the resident was on the floor. The DON indicated he concluded the resident's leg must have slid, and she fell out of bed. The DON indicated initial assessments demonstrated scratches on her arms and back. The DON indicated he spoke to several staff members, including hospice staff, and no one noted bruising or swelling of the resident's leg. The DON indicated he speculated the resident did fracture her leg with the fall, but then it was aggravated by transferring and turning and positioning the resident.
