10514 BROWN'S HEALTH & REHAB CENTER 115604 226 SOUTH COLLEGE STREET STATESBORO GA 30458 2011-02-01 280 D 1 0 S73111 Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to revise the care plan to put interventions in place to provide safe methods of transportation for one (1) resident (#1), who had been assessed to be at risk for falls, on the survey sample of five (5) residents. Findings include: Cross refer to F323 for more information regarding Resident #1. Record review for Resident #1 revealed a Quarterly Minimum Data Set of 10/21/2010 which indicated the resident had both long-term and short-term memory problems, required extensive assistance with all activities of daily living, required assistance with transfers, and ambulated via a wheelchair. Further review revealed the Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs) triggered for the risk of falls, and a 07/22/2010 Care Plan entry identified this risk for falls. A Nurse's Note of 01/12/2011 at 6:45 p.m. documented that while a certified nursing assistant (CNA) was pushing the resident in a wheelchair from the dining room to her room, the resident planted her feet firmly on the floor causing her to fall from the wheelchair. During interviews conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) "BB", CNA "CC", LPN "DD", and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant "EE" conducted on 02/01/2011 at 2:35 p.m., 2:40 p.m., 2:45 p.m., and 2:50 p.m., respectively, all staff members stated that they had observed Resident #1 to have the behavior of putting her feet down while being transported in the wheelchair. However, despite the resident's assessed fall-risk and staffs' knowledge of the resident's behavior of lowering her feet during transport via wheelchair, record review revealed no evidence to indicate that the facility had reviewed and revised the resident's Care Plan to develop interventions to address this behavior until a 01/14/2010 entry on the Care Plan indicated that leg rests were to be placed on the wheelchair while staff were assisting the resident with locomotion. 2014-06-01
