A resident, dependent on staff for mobility due to morbid obesity, fell from a mechanical lift, resulting in fractures. The incident occurred when a CNA attempted a transfer alone, contrary to the requirement for 2 to 4 staff members. The sling ripped during the transfer, and the resident was injured. The facility's policy on fall management, which required adequate supervision, was not followed.
Failure to Follow Care Plan for Safe Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement care plan interventions related to safe transfers for a resident, resulting in actual harm. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Cirrhosis of the Liver, Bipolar Disorder, and Morbid Obesity, was dependent on staff for mobility and required assistance from 2 to 4 staff members for transfers. However, during a transfer using a mechanical lift, only one CNA was present, contrary to the care plan requirements. This led to the resident falling and sustaining fractures to the right wrist. The incident occurred when the CNA attempted to transfer the resident to bed after a shower. The sling used in the mechanical lift ripped, causing the resident to fall. The CNA admitted to being the only staff member present during the transfer, despite knowing the resident required more assistance. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan was not followed, resulting in the resident's injury.
Failure to Provide Adequate Supervision During Resident Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent a fall from a mechanical lift for a resident, resulting in actual harm. The resident, who was cognitively intact and dependent on staff for mobility due to morbid obesity, required the assistance of 2 to 4 staff members for transfers. However, during an attempt to transfer the resident to bed after a shower, only one CNA was present. The CNA turned away momentarily, and upon turning back, found the resident on the floor with a ripped sling, indicating that the transfer was not conducted according to the manufacturer's guidelines, which recommended two assistants. The incident resulted in the resident sustaining distal radial and ulnar fractures, as confirmed by hospital documentation. Interviews with the CNA and the Director of Nursing corroborated that the CNA was aware of the requirement for additional staff assistance during transfers but proceeded alone. The facility's policy on fall management emphasized adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents, which was not adhered to in this case, leading to the resident's injury.
