32 | Based on C1's PCP recommendations, xrays were taken of C1's left arm in the afternoon of 04/16/21 in Urgent Care. C1 was given ibuprofen for pain management with a referral to an orthopedic specialist. Xrays were taken again on C1's left arm and further assessments/Xrays were done by an orthopedic specialist on 04/19/21.
Review of C1's records reveal that since 03/08/21, C1 has engaged in increased physical and occupational therapy activities prior to his left arm injury. C1 was required to use an arm sling to immobilize his left arm and all his physical and occupational therapy activities were placed on hold by his doctors until his left arm heals. Staff did not witness C1 have any incident of a fall, slip, physical aggression or physical contact with other clients. PCPs and staff could not identify cause of C1's injury.
During the tele-visit, LPA observed C1 resting comfortably in his bed wearing a left arm sling. LPA observed C1 was not in any pain with his immobilized left arm. LPA observed C1 to be well groomed, in good spirits and smiled at staff. LPA observed 2 DSPs assisting C1 inside the bedroom.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation that resident sustained injury while in care due to neglect did occur. Therefore, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
