F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on clinical record review, a review of facility documention and facility policy and procedure and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were protected from the potential for harm regarding an improper transfer for one of five residents reviewed (Resident R1) which caused left shoulder pain requiring an X-ray and follow up orthopedic consultation. This occurrence created an Immediate Jeopardy situation to resident health and safety. Findings include: Review of the facility policy titled Safe Resident Handling/Transfer Equipment revised November 30, 2015, and reviewed March 1, 2016, revealed that the use of the sit to stand lift requires two staff members. A review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of the resident's care plan titled, resident at risk for falls dated November 6, 2015, revealed that the resident was to be transferred by a sit to stand lift (a mechanical piece of equipment that assists with transferring a resident from the bed to the chair). The resident was to have an assist of two staff members while being transferred. Review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a periodic review of the resident's needs) dated October 6, 2016, revealed that the resident was independent in decision making abilities. The resident also needed extensive assistance with transfers and the assistance of two staff members when being transferred. A review of the nurses' notes dated October 23, 2016, at 2:49 p.m. revealed that the resident was lowered to the floor because she was unable to grip the sit to stand grips. A nursing assessment was completed at the time and the resident had no complaints. Further review revealed that the resident later complained of left shoulder pain. The physician was called and a left shoulder X-ray was ordered. The nurses' note dated October 23, 2016, at 11:16 p.m. revealed that the X-ray showed a questionable fracture of the left arm. The physician ordered an orthopedic (a physician that specialized in the bones) follow up. The area remained bruised and the resident was receiving Tylenol (a pain medication). Documentation indicated that the resident was seen by the orthopedic physician who ordered a follow up X-ray and a sling to be worn. A review of that report dated November 3, 2016, indicated there was no acute fracture or dislocation. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that the resident continued to receive Tylenol. A review of facility documentation indicated that the resident had a history of [REDACTED]. Review of the facility investigation dated October 25, 2016, for the incident occuring on October 23, 2016, revealed that Employee E17, the Unit Manager, interviewed Employee E18 (the staff member that transferred the resident). Employee E18 stated, I was using the sit to stand lift when she (Resident R1) slid out. Employee E17 then asked Employee E18, Did you have a spotter? (a second staff member) and Employee E18 responded, No. Review of Employee E18's written statement dated October 28, 2016, revealed that Employee E18 stated, I used the sit to stand to get the resident out of bed, the resident let go of the grips, and her knees buckled so I lowered her to the floor. Employee E18 also stated, I was transporting the resident not knowing that two people were to assist with the sit to stand. An interview with the Director of Nursing on December 3, 2016, confirmed that Employee E18 was hired on October 15, 2015. A review of the nurse aide orientation program check list revealed that the employee had training on the use of the lifts on October 19, 2015, and was able to demonstrate the use of lifts on October 20, 2015. No other documentation was available for review indicating that the employee had been re-inserviced after October 15, 2015. An Immediate Jeopardy situation was identified to the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on December 3, 2016, at 2:40 p.m. related to the safety of the residents being transferred using the sit to stand lift by one staff member when they should have been transferred with the assist of two staff members. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on December 3, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. revealed that the facility failed to re-educate the nursing staff regarding the correct number of staff to be used when transferring a resident with the mechanical lifts. An immediate corrective action plan was requested from the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on how re-education was going to be provided to all nursing personnel regarding the safe and proper use of the lifts. An acceptable corrective action plan was received from the facility that included re-educating staff on the proper transfer of residents according to their needs. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on December 5, 2016, at 12:15 p.m. after the implementation of the corrective action plan was verified. 28 Pa.
