S1ADM verified S6CNA walked away from the resident's room. He was asked how much time lapsed before the resident was assisted. S1ADM verified that 6 minutes lapsed (11:17 p.m. to 11:23p.m.) from the time S6CNA saw the resident on the floor until S5LPN and S7CNA entered room. An observation of the bed resident #1 was in on [DATE] when the incident occurred was now in another room, and in use by resident #6. Observations revealed both ½ rails were in the up position. There was a gap noted between the mattress and the (L) bed rail that the surveyor could place her arm in-between. Resident #6 was on an air mattress. On [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. a list of residents using the same type of bed and air mattress as resident #1 was requested by the survey team. Residents #6, #7, and #8 were identified by the facility. On [DATE] at 3:10 p.m. an interview was conducted with S2DON. S2DON verified the facility had no polices or procedures related to bed rails or staff response to emergencies. He was asked if after the incident of [DATE], involving Resident #1, had the staff had been trained on emergency responses for residents who have fallen or were in distress. S2DON verified no training had been done regarding staff's response to emergencies prior to the team's entry on [DATE]. He was asked if alternatives to bed rail use was conducted prior to a resident being placed in a bed. S2DON stated most of the beds in the facility had bed rails on them, so when residents were admitted they were placed in the bed with rails already attached. He verified residents had not been assessed for alternatives to bed rail use prior to the incident of [DATE] or since. On [DATE] at 3:45 p.m. an interview was conducted with S1ADM. He was asked to describe his interventions after the incident of [DATE] involving Resident #1. He stated he reviewed the incident with S5LPN. He notified S3RegADM and S4RegBDM and together they came up with a QA plan. He stated we starting looking at gaps between mattresses and bed rails. He stated another bed assessment was done by S16MSup and S3RegADM. S1ADM stated by the end of the week S2DON came up with a Side Rail assessment sheet which he verified had not been completed to determine which residents needed bed rails or not. In regards to the 38 beds identified by the survey team as problematic, S1ADM stated we were so focused on gaps and the FDA check list, we didn't think to grab the rails to see how sturdy the rails were. S1ADM verified the facility had no documented inspections of bed frames, mattresses, or bed rails since (MONTH) of (YEAR).

F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and assistance to prevent an avoidable fall for 1(#2) of 5(#1,#2,#3,#4,#5) sampled residents. The facility failed to: 1) Ensure that a resident (#2) identified by the facility as at risk for falls, consistently received staff assistance with transfer and toileting. 2) Ensure that interventions were put in place to provide adequate supervision for a resident (#2) identified by the facility as legally blind, fluctuations in cognition, non-compliant with waiting for assistance with transfers and a history of un-witnessed falls in the facility. 3) Determine the cause and factors surrounding each fall sustained by a resident (#2) to prevent future falls. This failed practice resulted in a harm to the resident on 9/17/16 when the resident fell while attempting to transfer himself to the toilet without staff assistance. The staff were notified by the resident and a physical therapist that he needed to use the toilet. The resident sustained [REDACTED]. Findings: A review of the facility's Fall Policy & Procedure revealed the following: As part of the initial assessment, the Charge Nurse/Nursing staff will identify individuals with a history of falls and risk factors for subsequent falling. The staff will evaluate and document falls that occur while the individual is in the facility. The staff nurse will complete an Incident/Accident (I&A) Reporting Form The fall care plan shall be updated immediately after a fall. Staff will attempt to define possible cause. Based on the preceding assessment, the staff will identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent subsequent falls and to address risks of serious consequences of falling. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various relevant interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling reduces or stops or until a reason is identified for its continuation ( for example, if the individual continues to try to get up and walk without waiting for assistance). The staff will monitor the individual's response to interventions intended to reduce falling. If the individual continues to fall, the staff will re-evaluate the situation and consider other possible reasons for the resident's falling (besides those that have already been identified) and will reevaluate the continued relevance of current interventions. Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling Identifying Causes of a Fall: Following a fall the nursing staff will begin to try to identify possible or likely causes of the incident. Staff will evaluate chains of events or circumstances preceding a recent fall, for example: Time of day of the fall; What was the resident doing; Whether the resident was standing, walking, reaching, or transferring from one position to another; Whether the resident was among other persons or alone; Whether the resident was trying to go to the toilet; Whether any environmental risk factors were involved; and Whether there is a pattern of falls for this resident .
