Failure to Obtain Nursing Assessment After Resident Lowered to Floor
D
F0684 F684: Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Short Summary

A resident with multiple fractures and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, who was cognitively intact and dependent on staff, was standing in the bathroom holding a grab bar when the resident reported being unable to continue standing due to knee weakness. A CNA lowered the resident to the floor, then independently lifted the resident, placed the resident in a wheelchair, and transferred the resident back to bed before notifying nursing staff, despite facility policy requiring a nursing assessment for injury before moving a resident found on the floor. Nursing staff later learned of the event only after the resident was back in bed and initially were informed only of a skin tear sustained during a transfer, not that the resident had been lowered to the floor, resulting in the resident not being assessed by a nurse prior to being moved.

Failure to Maintain Complete CNA Flow Sheet Documentation for Multiple Residents
E
F0842 F842: Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards.
Short Summary

The facility failed to maintain complete CNA flow sheet documentation for three residents, including individuals with Type 2 DM, HTN, UTI, dementia, anxiety, and a right lower leg infection following a fall. Policy required all services and changes in condition to be documented, yet multiple entire days and shifts in two consecutive months were left blank for each resident. A CNA reported they are expected to document care in the electronic flow sheets after providing care and noted there is no electronic alert for missing entries, while the DON stated CNAs are expected to complete flow sheets at the end of each shift and acknowledged multiple days of missing documentation.
