Resident Burned After Unauthorized Use of Space Heater
G
F0689 F689: Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Short Summary

A resident with paraplegia and impaired sensation sustained a second-degree burn on the elbow after an LPN, despite knowing facility policy, set up a portable heater in the resident's room at the resident's request. The injury was discovered by another nurse and CNA, and subsequent infection required antibiotic treatment. Facility policy prohibits space heaters due to fire and burn risks.
