Residents who are on an antipsychotic medication will have a dose reduction attempt documented by the attending physician and clinical team two (2) separate times within the first 12 months from the admission date. The two (2) separate attempts should be at least one (1) month apart from each attempt unless this is clinically contraindicated and documented by the physician. If a dose reduction is clinically contraindicated the physician will document the clinical rationale why a reduction would likely impair the resident's ability to function or cause psychiatric instability by exacerbating an underlying medical or psychiatric disorder which may lead to the resident being in danger of harming self or others. If the physician does not believe a dose reduction is warranted, he/she will also document the resident is taking the lowest possible dose and the current risk of reducing this dose outweighs the potential benefits of a reduction at this time. If an existing psychotropic medication dose is increased the IDT will re-evaluate the effectiveness and ongoing need for that dose within ninety (90) days and annually thereafter and collaborate with the provider and family related to the best interest of the residents condition. After the first year, a tapering should be attempted annually unless clinically contraindicated (2013.). 3.1-3 (w)3.1-26(k)(1)(o)

I was coming into work. I saw bruising on the back of her (Resident B) legs. Se complained of pain when I moved her legs to get a better look at it, just enough to see it. She didn't scream or anything, just said something like 'that hurt'. The unit manager called the son and the doctor. I was here when (name of imagining company) came in to do the xrays, but I wasn't directly involved with that. The unit manager told me what the results were. The son came in when she was already in the ambulance. I gave him her hearing aide and he got her glasses out of her room. I called the hospital later that day and they told me she had a broken femur. I read the xray reports and realized they said she had 2 broken femurs. LPN #9 indicated the DON called and informed the hospital of the xray results and faxed a copy of the results to the hospital.

During an interview on 10/7/2016 at 8:12 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator indicated during the facility investigation several of the initial statements were contradictory. The Administrator indicated the security video tape was reviewed from the morning of 9/20/2016 to clarify the contradictions and to assess if Resident B could have been injured during her shower. No indications of injury were noted at that time. One staff member was terminated as a result of the investigation. During an interview on 10/7/2016 at 1:12 p.m., the DON indicated the facility investigation could not determine the exact cause of Resident B's bilateral femur fractures. We investigated it and to the best of our ability we determined it must have occurred between when she (Resident B) was put to bed and when the injury was reported on 9/30 (9/30/2016).
