- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date June 22, 2019
The state investigators determined that the nursing home failed to ensure that a CNA plus transferred the resident “using the total lift with two-person assist per the resident’s individualized Care Plan [according to] manufacturer’s information on the proper use of the lift.”
The investigators reviewed the resident’s Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment that shows that the severely, cognitively impaired resident had “short-term and long-term memory problems. The resident was assessed as being totally dependent on staff for transfers, with two-person physical assist.” The document also indicates that the resident requires “extensive assistance with bathing, with one-person physical assistance.”
The resident’s Care Plan instructs the nursing staff to transfer the resident using a “full-body lift and staff of two.” However, the facility’s Resident Incident Report and Investigation File documented that on May 11, 2019, the Certified Nursing Assistant who transferred the resident “from the bed to the shower gurney (bath boat) did not follow [the resident’s] Plan of Care, which indicated the resident requires two-person assistance with the mechanical lift transfer.”
Instead, the CNA used “the mechanical lift by herself to transfer [the resident]. After the transfer was complete and during the provision of the shower, [the resident] became combative and fell off the shower gurney.” The document indicates that “the resident’s fall did not occur during the transfer or as a result of the transfer.”
The investigators interviewed the CNA, who confirmed that she failed to use a two-person assist when transferring the resident “from the bed to the bath boat with a total lift.” The CNA indicated that “the resident could have fallen or had an accident.” The facility Executive Director confirmed that the CNA failed to follow the resident’s Care Plan.
