Based on review of facility documents, observations, and staff interview, the facility failed to assure nursing staff followed the practice instituted by the facility for the safe transport of residents in wheelchairs, after a male resident was injured after falling forward out of his wheelchair while being transported. Additionally, the facility failed to assure licensed nursing staff secured a stocked medication cart against unauthorized access prior to leaving the cart unattended in the resident hallway.

The director of nursing (DON - Employee #14) was informed of the observation. She agreed these residents should have had leg rests on their wheelchairs. When asked where staff would locate leg rests to place on the residents' wheelchairs, she directed this surveyor to a locked storage building in the back of the facility. -- b) Random observations of the resident environment found an unlocked medication cart sitting in the 200 hallway of the facility. Observations found no nurse was present in the vicinity of the unlocked cart. A registered nurse (RN - Employee #2) was asked to come with this surveyor to determine if the medications in the cart were accessible. Testing found the drawers of the cart containing medications were unlocked and easily opened. 2014-07-01
