the effectiveness of new or revised interventions. The P&P indicated, resident supervision was a core component of the systems approach to safety. The type and frequency of supervision may vary among residents and over time for the same residents. The P&P indicated, for example, resident supervision may need to be increased when there was a change in the resident's condition.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised 3/2018, the P&P indicated, based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff identified interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. The P&P indicated, if the resident continued to fall, staff re-evaluated the situation and whether it was appropriate to continue or change current interventions. The P&P indicated, if falling recurred despite initial interventions, staff implemented additional or different interventions, or indicate why the current approach remained relevant.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised 3/2022, the P&P indicated, care plan interventions were chosen only after data gathering, proper sequencing of events, careful consideration of the relationship between the resident's problem areas and their causes, and relevant clinical decision making. The P&P indicated, when possible, interventions address the underlying source(s) of the problem area(s), not just symptoms or triggers. The P&P indicated, assessments of residents were ongoing and care plans were revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change. The P&P indicated, the facility reviewed and updated the care plan when there had been a significant change in the resident's condition and when the desired outcome was not met.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 37662 Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide care and services to prevent a fall (move downward, typically rapidly and freely without control, from a higher to a lower level) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) as indicated in the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, and Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, by failing to:

1. Ensure Certified Nursing Assistant 1 and/or Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 provided supervision/monitoring when Resident 1, who was assessed as being high risk for falls, had increased agitation and confusion, repeated episodes of getting out of bed, and ambulating in Resident 1's room unassisted.

2. Ensure LVN 1 revised Resident 1's untitled care plan for falls and implemented new interventions after Resident 1 first fell on [DATE REDACTED] at 1:20 AM to prevent Resident 1 from further falls and injuries.

As a result, on 6/24/2024 at 2:15 AM, after the first fall at 1:20 AM, Resident 1 fell to the floor again. Resident 1 sustained a moderately displaced fracture (bone breaks into two or more pieces and move out of alignment) and mildly impacted fracture (occurs when the broken ends of the bone are jammed together by force of the injury) at the neck of the left subcapital femur (neck of the thigh bone). Resident 1 was transferred and admitted to General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) 2 on 6/24/2024 at 3:08 AM for further evaluation and had a left hip hemiarthroplasty (a type of partial hip replacement surgery that involved replacing half of the hip joint) on 7/1/2024.
