Findings include: Per record review conducted on 10/26/10, on 6/3/10 Resident #1 was found on the bathroom floor after falling. The Resident was assessed by the RN (Registered Nurse), who identified that the Resident complained of back, left hip and left leg pain. The Resident's left leg was also rotated outward and shorter than the right leg. This was documented by the nurse in the facility Event Assessment, which was identified as the facility documentation practice by the DNS during the entrance conference. In the facility policy "Care of a Resident with Possible Injury" it is stated "Warning: If there is a question of hip, or spinal fracture do not move the resident. Stabilize only."
