During an interview with Licensed nurse, Employee E4 (the charge nurse during the 7:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. shift), revealed that the fall happened during the change of shift (3:00 p.m. through 11: 00 p.m.). Employee E4 reported that nursing staff was coming in to start their 3:00 p.m. through 11:00 p.m. shift while the 7:00 a.m. through the 3:00 p.m. nursing staff was ending their shift. Employee E4 reported that the nursing assistant who was assigned to the resident during the 7-3 p.m. shift left after her shift was done, and upon nursing assistant, Employee E6 and nursing assistant, Employee E7 starting their shift, Employee E4 reported that she told both nursing assistants at the nursing station that the nursing assistant assigned to Resident R39 for the 3-11 shift was not there yet, and that they had to decide amongst themselves which one of them was going to provide one-on-one supervision for Resident R39. Employee E4 reported that she then went over to give the nursing report to Licensed nurse, Employee E5 and that both she and Employee E5 were standing at the medication cart near room [ROOM NUMBER]. Employee E4 stated that she heard a sound, turned around and saw Resident R39 on the floor. During an interview with nursing assistant, Employee E6 on May 24, 2023, at 3:14 p.m. it was confirmed that she was not assigned to provide one-one-one supervision to the resident and denied the claims that Licensed nurse, Employee E4 stated that she told both Employee E6 and E7 that they had to decide amongst themselves who would provide one-on-one supervision to Resident R39 for the 3:00 p.m. through the 11:00 p.m. nursing shift. Employee E6 reported that she heard Licensed nurse, Employee E4 tell Employee E7 that a nursing assistant will be coming in on the 11:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m. shift to provide one-on-one supervision for the resident. Employee E6 stated that she heard Employee E7 state to Employee E4 that she will provide one-on-one supervision for Resident R39 for the the 11-7 p.m. shift. Employee E6 stated that Employee E4 told her again that the shift for the resident's one-one-one supervision was already covered for the 11:00 p.m. through the 7:00 a.m. shift (starting on May 19, 2023 and ending May 20, 2023 at 7:00 a.m.). Nursing assistant, Employee E6 stated that nursing assistant, Employee E7 then went to call the nursing scheduler about what Licensed nurse, Employee E4 stated, and that this is when the fall happened. During the interview with Employee E6 on the above date and time, it was discussed with Employee E6 and the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) that there was no written statement from Employee E6. Review of the interview from nursing assistant, Employee E7 revealed that the employee reports that the resident was at the nursing station and the resident fell face forward while trying to get out of his chair. Review of the investigation included an interview from Licensed nurse, Employee E5, she stated that as she started to count medications with Licensed nurse, Employee E4 around 3 p.m. Employee E5 reported that as they both started counting medications, she heard a loud sound, turned around and saw the resident on the floor. Employee E5 stated that the resident was sitting in the nurse's station in his chair prior to the fall. Review of the investigation and nursing notes did not produce evidence that Resident R39 with history of falls, and with a physician's order and a person-centered plan of care intervention for one-on-one supervision, was being properly supervised by staff on the date and time of his fall with an injury on May 19, 2023, during the 3:00 p.m. through the 11:00 p.m. nursing shift. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on May 24, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. the name of the staff responsible for the resident during the resident's fall with an injury could not be provided by the Nursing Home Administrator when asked. The facility failed to ensure that Resident R39 was provided adequate supervision in the form of one to one as ordered by the physician and as indicated in the resident's plan of care. This failure resulted in actual harm to Resident R39 who sustained a fall, with a laceration to his right forehead, requiring transferred to the hospital and five sutures to close the wound. 28 Pa.

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on review of facility policy, review of clinical records, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide assistive devices necessary to prevent a fall incident for one of 17 residents reviewed. This failure resulted in actual harm to Resident R32 who sustained a fall in the bathroom, requiring transfer to the hospital and diagnosed with a left femur fracture. (Resident R32) Findings include: Review of facility policy Restorative Nursing Services revealed restorative goals and objectives are individualized and resident -centered, and are outlined in the resident's plan of care. Review of Resident R32's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment and care screening) dated September 14, 2022, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with the diagnoses of osteoarthritis (deteriorating disease of the joints that can cause pain and stiffness), lack of coordination, muscle weakness, and polymyalgia rheumatica (inflammatory disease that results in muscle aches and stiffness in different parts of the body). Review of Section G title Functional Status of the MDS indicated Resident R32 was not steady with walking, required 1-person physical assistance for transfers and walking in the room and corridor, and used a wheelchair for assistance. Review of Resident R32's care plan dated December 3, 2021, revealed the resident had an activities of daily living (ADL) self-care performance deficit related to musculoskeletal (includes your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues) impairment. Continued review of Resident R32's care plan revealed the resident was at risk for falls related to encephalopathy (disease that affects the brain and causes altered mental state and confusion), poor safety awareness, and history of falls. The care plan indicated the resident had falls on the following dates: 9/13/2022, 9/20/2022, 9/28/2022, and a fall on 10/6/2022 that subsequently resulted in a left hip fracture. Review of nursing note dated October 6, 2022 by licensed nurse, Employee E4, revealed this charge nurse was alerted to Resident R32's room by nursing assistant, Employee E3. Licensed nurse, Employee E4 revealed on arrival to the room, Resident R32 was laying on the bathroom floor in a left, lateral fetal position. Nursing assistant, Employee E3 informed licensed nurse, Employee E4 that the aide attempted to assist Resident R32 with transfer back from the bathroom, when the resident could no longer walk and was lowered to the floor. The physician ordered an x-ray of the left hip due to complaints of pain. Continued review of nursing notes, dated October 7, 2022, by Employee E4, revealed an x-ray was still pending for Resident R32 and the resident was also observed with change in condition related to chest pain, fever, and hypoxia (low oxygen levels). Resident R32 was subsequently transferred to the hospital. Further review of nursing note dated October 7, 2022, revealed the resident was admitted to the hospital with admitting diagnosis of left hip fracture and anemia (lack of red blood cells). Review of hospital records dated October 7, 2022, confirmed x-ray findings of a closed left hip fracture. Review of facility investigation summary related to the fall on October 6, 2022, revealed Resident R32 was being assisted with toileting around 8:00 p.m. by nursing assistant, Employee E3. During the transfer off the toilet Resident R32 stated he could not walk and the nursing assistant lowered the resident to the ground. Review of the statement by nursing assistant, Employee E3, dated October 11, 2022, revealed the nursing assistant ambulated Resident R32 to the bathroom. When Resident R32 was finished in the bathroom, Employee E3 provided hand-held assistance off the commode and the resident reported he could not walk and was lowered to the ground. Interview on December 7, 2022, at 9:50 a.m. with licensed nurse, Employee E4, revealed Resident R32 was not steady on his feet prior to the fall and that the aide should not have ambulated the resident to the bathroom. Employee E4 reportedly educated the nursing assistant, Employee E3, after the fall, that the resident was not safe for ambulation. Interview, via telephone, on December 7, 2022, at 12:20 p.m. with nursing assistant, Employee E3, revealed she ambulated Resident R32 to the bathroom. Once Resident R32 was finished, Employee E3 got Resident R32 to stand up off the commode, he took a step or two, then was lowered to the floor. Employee E3 confirmed there was no assistive device or a wheelchair used. After the fall the charge nurse, Employee E4, made her aware that that Resident R32 is not steady on his feet and should not be ambulated. Employee E3 reported they did not usually work with Resident R32 and was unaware of his new functional baseline. Review of Resident R32's clinical record revealed the resident started physical therapy on September 21, 2022, and was referred for therapy due to exacerbation of decrease in strength, decrease in functional ability, decrease in transfers, reduced functional activity tolerance, reduced static and dynamic balance, increased need for assistance from others, and reduced ADL participation placing Resident R32 at risk for falls. It was noted that Resident R32 had a fall on September 20, 2022, attempting to self-transfer to the bathroom. Review of Resident R32's physical therapy discharge summary dated October 6, 2022, revealed the resident required 24-hr supervision secondary to a decline in functional mobility along with cognition. Restorative nursing program was recommended for transfers into wheelchair as ambulation was inconsistent and unsafe. Interview on December 6, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. with the Director of Therapy, Employee E5, revealed Resident R32 was not safe for ambulation at the time of the fall on October 6, 2022. Employee E5 reported the resident was referred for physical therapy September 21, 2022, because the resident sustained a drastic decline in functional status and ambulation. Review of email communication for restorative nursing recommendations, dated October 5, 2022, revealed the Director of Therapy, Employee E5, made the Director of Nursing, Employee E2, aware that Resident R32 should just be transferred into a wheelchair. Employee E5 reported that Resident R32 was unable to walk consistently and safely. Recommendations should read transfer out of bed into a wheelchair with 1-person assist at least daily. Review of Resident R32's entire clinical record revealed no documented evidence the resident's plan of care was updated to alert nursing staff that the resident was not safe for ambulation and required the use of a wheelchair. Interview on December 6, 2022, at 3:05 p.m. with the Director of Nursing, Employee E2, revealed the nursing assistant was going based off the latest MDS Kardex (a system of communication and organization used in nursing that helps long term care facilities document patient and resident care summaries) that indicated the resident was able to walk in room/corridor with one-person physical assistance, not the latest physical therapy recommendation. The facility failed to ensure that the necessary assistive device was used while assisting Resident R32 in the bathroom which resulted in actual harm to Resident R32, who sustained a fall, required transfer to the hospital and was diagnosed with a left femur fracture. 28 Pa.
