- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date January 9, 2019
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to follow its policy to ensure [one resident], who had a high risk for falls, [had a] bed [that] was maintained at the lowest position to prevent further falls and injuries. This failure violated the patient’s rights to safety and a clear environment.”
A review of the resident’s Fall Risk Assessment indicated that the resident scored a two out of ten, placing her at a moderate risk for falls. She “had fallen in the past and had impaired balance and an unsteady gait. She ambulates with an assistive device and receives narcotics that can cause dizziness.”
The Incident Report indicates that the resident “had a fall that was witnessed by the roommate, by attempting to go to the restroom without assistance from the staff. The nursing staff transferred the resident to the General Acute Care Hospital due to right hip pain.” X-ray results revealed that the resident had an injury to the right femur and humerus.
In a separate summary statement of deficiencies dated July 25, 2018, the facility staff members “failed to ensure that [one resident] was supervised and did not have a toothpick lodged in his throat. This deficient practice resulted [in the resident] requiring a transfer to the nearest emergency room for the removal of the toothpick.”
A Progress Note indicated that at about 4:00 PM, the resident “had a toothpick stuck in his throat.” At 5:54 PM, the resident saw his nurse and “was pointing to his throat. The nurse had the resident open his mouth and saw a toothpick stuck in his throat. The Charge Nurse and Supervisor were notified. The emergency services (911) were called after an unsuccessful attempt to get the toothpick out.”
The resident “was transferred to the General Acute Care Hospital for further evaluation.” Additional toothpicks “were found in his pocket and locker.”
The facility Administrator stated that the nursing facility “found out it was family members bringing the toothpicks to the resident, and although they asked him not to do it, they have since found additional toothpicks.” The Assistant Director of Nursing stated “it is a cultural thing, someone in his family brought the toothpicks to him. She believed [the resident] was chewing on the toothpick when it was accidentally swallowed.”
