When we went to stand the resident up, she had a loose bowel movement and her feet slipped out from under her. At that time, I instructed the CNA to lower the resident to the floor with me. After the resident was on the floor, I went to get the licensed practical nurse (LPN) that was on duty. The LPN came to the room and assessed the resident. After the resident was assessed, we placed her back into the bed." On 08/08/12 at 1:50 p.m., the director of nurses (DON) was interviewed regarding the injury of resident. The DON stated she was working the floor on 07/07/12 and was asked to go to the resident's room to assess her because she was complaining of pain in the lower left leg.

The DON stated, "I was working the floor on 07/07/12 and was asked to go to the resident's room to assess her because she was complaining of pain in the lower left leg.

The results of the mobile X-ray were sent to the physician on 07/07/12." The DON was asked when this incident should have been reported to Oklahoma State Department of Health.

The RA asked me to help her transfer the resident to the weight chair. I went into the room and we sat the resident up on the side of the bed, and stood her up. The resident's feet slipped out from under her and we had to assist her to the floor. I had no idea the resident's legs were so straight and she could not stand. I did not know until after this happened that the resident was supposed to be moved with a mechanical lift. I had only been here two weeks."
