Failure to Perform Neurological Checks After Resident's Head Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice for one resident who sustained a head injury from a fall. Specifically, the resident did not receive the required neurological checks while awaiting transport to the hospital. The facility's Head Trauma Protocol and Neurological Check policy mandate that neurological checks be performed every 15 minutes for the first hour and every 30 minutes for the next hour following a head injury, but these checks were not documented for the resident in question. The incident involved a resident with dementia and anxiety disorder who was found on the floor with a large hematoma on the forehead and a painful hematoma on the lower thigh. The Registered Nurse Supervisor assessed the resident, notified the physician, and received an order to transfer the resident to the hospital. However, there was no documentation of the required neurological checks being performed from the time of the initial assessment until the arrival of emergency medical services. Interviews with the staff revealed that the Licensed Practical Nurse monitored the resident but did not complete the neurological check flow sheet, assuming it was unnecessary due to the pending hospital transfer. The Director of Nursing confirmed that neurological checks should have been documented according to the protocol until the resident was transported. The lack of documentation and adherence to the protocol resulted in a deficiency in the care provided to the resident.
