Based on record review of R#1; Incident Reports dated 2/2/00, 2/4/00, 2/15/00, 2/18/00, 4/27/00, 5/6/00, and 5/9/00; staff interviews and physician (Z#1) interview, it was determined that the facility failed to adequately supervise R#1 to prevent severe head injury.
Per interview of Z#1 (per phone on 5/12/00 at approximately 10am), R#1 is currently in the Intensive Care Unit of St. Anthony's Hospital due to head injury sustained while at the facility. Per Z#1 "this resident has had too many falls (incidents) for this type of resident. His mental/medical status had not changed nor had his medicines."
Review of Incident Reports on 5/11/00 and 5/12/00 indicated that R#1 has had nine (9) reportable incidents since February, 2000. The latest three incidents 4/29/00, 5/6/00 and 5/9/00 have all resulted in severe injuries.
On 4/29/00 at 1:20pm on Saturday, R#1 "tipped his Merry Walker over". He received a laceration to his head and a fractured nose.
On 5/6/00 at 8:30 pm on Saturday, R#1 was found on the floor of his room with a 2" laceration above his left eye.
On 5/9/00 at 6:30am, R#1 again tipped over his Merry Walker.
Per E#1, on 5/11/00, it was noted that the Merry Walker had been modified with "outriggers" left and right side after the incident 4/29/00. That incident was not witnessed. Per E#2, E3 and E4 however, chair was on its side.
On 5/9/00, R#1 tipped chair forward. E#1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25 interviewed on 5/11/00 and 5/12/00.
Per E#10 on 5/11/00 at 2:05pm, R#4 had a habit of reaching out for people. He would lean side to side and forward in the Merry Walker.
Per E#10 on 5/11/00 at 2:50pm, R#1 almost tipped Merry Walker over once before when near nurses station when front wheel got caught.
Per E#23 on 5/12/00 at 10:30am, R#1 has a history of getting out of bed when he is wet. Has done this several times.
Per the CNA assigned to hall 200 (R#1's room on 200) and one of two CNA's on hall 100 - both were taking a break on 5/6/00 at 8:30pm when R#1 was found out of bed and injured. This (per staff) left one CNA to cover both halls (100/200) rather than the assigned three (3) CNAs.
On Saturday 4/29/00 at 1:20pm, both E#9 and R#8 stated they were "in the lunch room" during the time of incident. Per review of schedule, there were only six (6) CNAs assigned on the 3pm-11pm shift on 4/9/00 for all 4 halls/75 residents.
The facility failed to address the recommendations of the physical therapist on 5/3/00 when a recommendation to increase supervision was made. The care plan fails to address any change on R#1's care plan since 2/2000 despite numerous injuries.
There is no tracking mechanism in place to keep track of the number of incidents, location of incidents and method of injury. Per E#1, he keeps a record of each incident, but it is "not tracked".
R#1 is an 88-year-old male with severe Alzheimer's and combative behaviors. He has a history of agitation.
