The Administrator was advised of the injury of unknown origin on 10/24/18 that appeared to be a hand print, the Administrator said If saw hand prints and that would raise my concern and I would investigate. I would talk to all team members, would talk to spouse, and the direct care team.

When asked if she was aware of the injuries of unknown origin for Resident #6, the SW stated, I don't specifically, it was reported or identified as abuse. This is not a resident that has ever been identified to me as a referral along those lines as being abused. She is not someone that has ever come up as someone for abuse. When abuse is identified the nurse does an interview, I do an interview. Any employee is supposed to report any suspicion of abuse and my Administrator would call me. I try to visit this resident weekly and I don't' really recall seeing any bruises. When asked if one resident with this amount of paperwork is concerning, the SW stated, I definitely hear your concerns. I've just never suspected it with her. This is concerning, I've never seen these reports. Yes, I probably should have been made aware. It should have been told to the supervisor but this should have also come to me to interview all parties. After my report, if there are concerns identified the Administrator would report the incidents. I haven't had a referral for abuse since the new Administrator started.

The Administrator stated, if any of our team has a concern, or they think something may be under the heading of abuse they are to report it to their administrative supervisor, and then immediately call myself and the DON (Director of Nursing). When asked what would make them think an allegation of abuse, the Administrator stated, if it looks like a hand print, something out of ordinary, I would be questioning that right away, and depending on the placement of where things are. When an injury occurs and no one knows how it occurred. I would look, I would ask if they had a lab draw, if we don't know how it happened, if there is no reasonable expectation. When there is an injury of unknown source it should be reported no later than 24 hours, if there is hospitalization or sign injury you have a two hour time frame. When asked why reporting is not happening the Administrator stated, I can't answer for anything prior to [DATE]. I was not here, we did have a different DON. She was shown there were six injuries of unknown origin for Resident #6 since her tenure. The Administrator then said, I have no problem at all reporting every bruise and every skin tear, if we look at it immediately and if we can't give an answer if we don't have an immediate answer, we will report it. The Administrator was advised of the injury of unknown origin on 10/24/18 that appeared to be a hand print, the Administrator said If saw hand prints and that would raise my concern and I would investigate. I would talk to all team members, would talk to spouse, and the direct care team. I would want to know if anyone saw anything, someone maybe said she went to fall and they went to grab her, etc. I would be concerned about possible abuse. When asked about next steps, The Administrator stated, the nurse would then call the DON and myself, I have a concern here, I would send it in to you. If there is any thought that this could be abuse, it would be reported. A nurses writing the report is self reporting.

(sic) Review of the bruise/skin tear/ abrasion investigation form reveals that only one staff member was interviewed regarding the injury of unknown origin. There is no evidence or any other information provided that would indicate a complete investigation was conducted. On 5/9/19 at 8:43am an interview was conducted with Employee C, the SW (Social Worker). When asked if she was aware of the injuries of unknown origin for Resident #6, the SW stated, I don't specifically, it was reported or identified as abuse. This is not a resident that has ever been identified to me as a referral along those lines as being abused. She is not someone that has ever come up as someone for abuse. When abuse is identified the nurse does an interview, I do an interview. Any employee is supposed to report any suspicion of abuse and my Administrator would call me. I try to visit this resident weekly and I don't' really recall seeing any bruises. When asked if one resident with this amount of paperwork is concerning, the SW stated, I definitely hear your concerns. I've just never suspected it with her. This is concerning, I've never seen these reports. Yes, I probably should have been made aware. It should have been told to the supervisor but this should have also come to me to interview all parties. After my report, if there are concerns identified the Administrator would report the incidents. I haven't had a referral for abuse since the new Administrator started. On 05/09/19 at 09:39 AM an interview was conducted with the facility Administrator. When asked if she knew the cause of the injuries of unknown origin and multitude of bruises Resident #6 has sustained, the Administrator stated, I can't answer , I don't know what meds she is on, she is ataxic and does a lot of failing. The Administrator was made aware that the SW stated they investigate prior to reporting, she talked about mandated reporting, but reporting of abuse allegations is not occurring. The Administrator stated, if any of our team has a concern, or they think something may be under the heading of abuse they are to report it to their administrative supervisor, and then immediately call myself and the DON (Director of Nursing). When asked what would make them think an allegation of abuse, the Administrator stated, if it looks like a hand print, something out of ordinary, I would be questioning that right away, and depending on the placement of where things are. When an injury occurs and no one knows how it occurred. I would look, I would ask if they had a lab draw, if we don't know how it happened, if there is no reasonable expectation. When there is an injury of unknown source it should be reported no later than 24 hours, if there is hospitalization or sign injury you have a two hour time frame. When asked why reporting is not happening the Administrator stated, I can't answer for anything prior to [DATE]. I was not here, we did have a different DON. She was shown there were six injuries of unknown origin for Resident #6 since her tenure. The Administrator then said, I have no problem at all reporting every bruise and every skin tear, if we look at it immediately and if we can't give an answer if we don't have an immediate answer, we will report it. The Administrator was advised of the injury of unknown origin on 10/24/18 that appeared to be a hand print, the Administrator said If saw hand prints and that would raise my concern and I would investigate. I would talk to all team members, would talk to spouse, and the direct care team. I would want to know if anyone saw anything, someone maybe said she went to fall and they went to grab her, etc. I would be concerned about possible abuse. When asked about next steps, The Administrator stated, the nurse would then call the DON and myself, I have a concern here, I would send it in to you. If there is any thought that this could be abuse, it would be reported. A nurses writing the report is self reporting. This nurse is also a medical doctor, ,who didn't like being a doctor and is a nurse. She is a board certified practitioner.
