A resident with severe cognitive impairment and total dependence on staff for transfers was injured when CNAs transferred them without using the required mechanical lift, as per their care plan. The resident's leg was lacerated during the transfer, necessitating emergency medical intervention. The CNAs involved were unaware of the resident's need for a mechanical lift, and it was unclear if they attended the shift huddle where such information was communicated.
A resident's care plan was not updated to reflect the removal of a urinary catheter, despite facility policy requiring regular review and revision. The resident, with a history of multiple health issues, confirmed the catheter's removal, but the care plan remained unchanged. Nursing staff interviews indicated that the oversight might be due to new nurses still learning their responsibilities.
Failure to Use Mechanical Lift Results in Resident Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #134 received adequate supervision and assistance devices consistent with their care plan, resulting in an accident. Resident #134, who had severe cognitive impairment and was totally dependent on two staff members for transfers, was transferred from a wheelchair to a bed without the use of a mechanical lift, as required by their care plan. This incident occurred on 10/04/2023, when Certified Nursing Assistants #6 and #3 assisted the resident without using the mechanical lift, leading to the resident's left leg scraping against the wheelchair and causing a laceration that required emergency medical intervention. Resident #134 had a history of anemia, cerebrovascular accident, and non-Alzheimer's dementia, which contributed to their need for total assistance with transfers. The care plan specifically indicated the use of a mechanical lift for transfers, which was not followed by the staff involved. The incident report and subsequent investigation revealed that the CNAs involved were not aware of the resident's need for a mechanical lift, and it was unclear if they participated in the shift huddle where such information was communicated. Interviews with staff, including the Registered Nurse Supervisor and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that the CNAs did not adhere to the care plan instructions. The facility's investigation noted that the CNAs were trained to use the Point of Care system to verify resident care instructions, but this was not done in this instance. The failure to use the mechanical lift as required by the care plan resulted in actual harm to Resident #134, necessitating medical treatment for the injury sustained during the transfer.
Failure to Update Resident's Care Plan Post-Catheter Removal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's comprehensive care plan was reviewed and revised to accurately reflect the resident's current status. Specifically, the care plan for a resident with a history of atrial fibrillation, heart failure, benign prostatic hyperplasia, renal insufficiency, and obstructive uropathy did not document the discontinuation of the resident's urinary catheter. The resident, who had intact cognitive status, confirmed that the catheter was removed two weeks prior to the survey observation. The facility's policy requires regular review and revision of care plans, but this was not adhered to in the case of the resident whose catheter was discontinued on April 18, 2024. Despite the nursing progress note documenting the removal, the comprehensive care plan was not updated. Interviews with the nursing staff, including the Registered Nurse Supervisor and the Director of Nursing, revealed that the responsibility for updating care plans lies with the nurses and nursing supervisors. However, the care plan was not updated due to oversight, possibly attributed to the presence of new nurses still in training.
