that on, otherwise we would have her more supervised and up at the nurse's station. V2 stated Resident R2's only major health concern was that she didn't have fingers or toes, so we wanted to keep her safe. V2 stated the bed alarm was not an effective intervention for Resident R2, the alarm was only effective when used in her wheelchair. V2 stated in agreement that Resident R2 already had use of bed and chair alarms in place prior to her fall [DATE REDACTED], it would not have been a new intervention. V2 stated in agreement that Resident R2's bed had already been put in low position with a fall mat in place prior to her fall on [DATE REDACTED] and that it wasn't added to her care plan interventions until after the fall. V2 stated maybe they could have put the alarm box inside Resident R2's bedside table to keep her from turning it off.On [DATE REDACTED] at 11:50 AM, V11 (Medical Director) stated his main concern for Resident R2 was preventing falls. V11 stated he hadn't seen Resident R2 yet but was scheduled to see her this month. V11 stated in his clinical expertise, a TSH (thyrotropin) level of 34 and having hypothyroidism would not have an effect on the risk of falls. V11 stated he would expect staff to be following the fall risk care plan interventions if they were able to do so. V11 stated he would expect interventions to be progressive and resident centered, if Resident R2 was able to turn off the alarm, he would expect the facility to attempt to prevent her from being able to do so by hiding it. V11 stated if the fall risk interventions were not being followed and
they were previously working, it could pose a higher risk for Resident R2 to fall.On [DATE REDACTED] at 2:18 PM, V2 (DON) stated the facility did not have an alarm policy but they did have guidelines for Personal Alarms. The Personal Alarms guidelines (undated) documented bed exit alarms are often used as an intervention for fall reduction programs, but they are not always used effectively. It continued to document it is important that when placing an alarm to consider many reports describe patients deliberately deactivating their alarms and may not be appropriate.The facility's Falls Management Policy dated [DATE REDACTED] documented it is the policy of the facility to assess and manage resident falls through prevention, investigation, and implementation and evaluation of interventions.
