Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to provide an appropriate transfer of one resident (Resident #7) from a broken recliner chair out of five residents with accidents reviewed, resulting in a fractured right humerus. The facility census was 33. Findings include: Resident #7 was admitted into the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An annual Minimum Data Set 2.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident to be alert and oriented and modified independent for decision making. The MDS revealed the resident to require an extensive assistance by two staff members for bed mobility, transferring and toileting. The resident was non-ambulatory, per her choice remained mostly in her room sitting up in a recliner and was 66 inches tall with a weight of 144 pounds. The resident was assessed as a high risk for falls from the above MDS and had a plan of care regarding her risk for falls dated 10/20/10 with interventions including the resident to be a two person assistance with transfers. During observation of Resident #7 on 05/05/11 at 9:30 A.M. the resident was seated in a recliner chair in the middle of her room. The chair was in a reclined position with her legs elevated and back and head bent forward from the reclining back of the chair trying to rest her head on a pillow on her chest. The resident was crying, did not speak but shook her head "yes" and "no" to the surveyor's questions. The resident shook her head "yes" that she was in pain and the surveyor notified the charge nurse who medicated the resident at this time. At 10:30 A.M. the surveyor revisited the resident. The resident verbalized that the pain was "little better" in a whispered voice. When asked about her broken arm, the resident stated "they pulled me out of the chair, hurt me". Nursing notes dated 04/16/11 at 3:30 P.M. revealed the resident was sitting in her recliner and complained of right arm discomfort. The resident was given an anti-pain medication (Tylenol) 650 milligrams (mg). At 4:00 P.M. on this same date, nursing notes revealed that the "resident again complained of right arm pain." The resident's arm was examined with no reddened or discolored areas noted on her skin, skin intact, range of motion is limited due to history of CVA with right side weakness. At 11:00 P.M. revealed the resident complained of right arm pain and was medicated again with Tylenol. Nursing notes dated 04/17/11 at 12:00 A.M. (one hour later) revealed the resident was crying. The resident stated the Tylenol did not help with the pain. The resident was medicated with a narcotic analgesic medication (Tramadol) at this time. At 4:27 A.M. the nursing notation revealed the resident to be awake requesting something to drink. The resident informed the nurse that "pain diminished but still present". At 5:57 A.M. the resident stating her right arm aches. The resident was offered pain medication but refused indicating "I don't want that." The resident was repositioned "with some success." At 6:00 A.M. the resident was now requesting the Tylenol medication which was given to the resident. At 6:31 A.M. the resident's arm was examined. No discoloration or irregularities noted to the skin. Range of motion "unable to assess due to right sided weakness from prior CVA" (had limited range of motion noted on 04/16/11). The resident stated that the "Tylenol helped a little." At 9:22 A.M. the resident was medicated again with the Tramadol for complaints of right upper arm pain. Nursing notes dated 04/18/11 at 8:00 A.M. revealed the resident sitting in her recliner in her room "still complaining of right arm pain." The nurse again medicated the resident and attempted range of motion to her arm with the resident crying out "with any movement to her right arm." Mild swelling was noted to the right hand fingers. The physician was finally called and notified regarding Resident #7's complaint of arm pain (three days after the beginning of the complaints of arm pain). An x-ray was ordered and completed with results per nursing notes dated 04/18/11 at 7:32 P.M., showing a fractured right shoulder. X-ray results dated 04/18/11 revealed a fracture at the proxima humerus of the right shoulder and was confirmed at an orthopedic appointment on 04/19/11. On 05/05/11 at 1:30 P.M. review of the facility investigation for the fractured right humerus for Resident #7 revealed statements from two state tested nursing assistants (STNAs) who had transferring the resident from her recliner chair on 04/16/11 at 2:00 P.M. (one hour prior to the onset of right arm pain). Both staff indicated the recliner chair to be broken with the bottom leg rest stuck in an upward position approximately six to eight inches. Both staff statements stated that "they decided to do a fireman transfer" of the resident from the recliner. They transferred the resident out of the recliner and placed her on her right side in the bed. At 2:00 P.M., during interview with the facility director of nursing (DON), administrator and MDS nurse, the administrator stated that the fireman transfer involves a staff member on each side of the resident with arms clasped together under the resident's buttocks and their other arms clasped together across the resident's back. She indicated that the staff put their arm under each of the residents arms (under arm pits of resident), clasp their hands together and on the count of three, lifted the resident out of the recliner. The administrator stated that she did not consider the fracture of the resident's arm to be an injury of unknown origin because she "knew it was caused from the transfer." At 2:30 P.M. the DON verified that both staff involved in the improper transfer of Resident #7 out of the broken recliner chair were disciplined. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH 534.
