On 10/14/2010 a large, dark purple bruise was noted on Resident #5's back and left side of his chest; he was unable to state how the injury happened. There was no documentation to indicate the facility reported the incident as an injury of unknown origin. (1 of 5 sampled residents reviewed) The findings included: The facility admitted Resident #5 on 2/07/2009 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 7/12/2010 indicated the resident had no memory problems with moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision-making. Review of the Nurses' Note dated 10/14/10 at 1:30 PM stated, "large dark purple bruise note L (left) side of chest and back. Res (resident) stated, I don't know it happened..." Review of the "Incident/Accident Report" form signed 10/18/2010 revealed a date of 10/15/2010 as the date a large, dark purple bruise was noted on the left side of the chest and back of Resident #5. The incident report included the statement, "I don't know what happened." There was no documentation that a referral was made to the State Survey Agency. An interview on 12/01/2010 at approximately 10:38 PM with the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the findings. The Administrator stated they did not feel the bruises were significant enough to make a report. The Administrator further stated it was the facility practice to determine the cause of the bruise instead of reporting.	2014-04-01
