Client C1's record lacked evidence to indicate the registered nurse (RN) had re-assessed the client after the dislocation of the right hip, and there was no evidence the licensee had reported the significant injury to the CEP. In addition, the client's record lacked documentation pertaining to the client transferring without assistance. This was verified by employee C (RN) on June 16, On June 16, 2015, employee E (LPN) stated she questioned staff as to what might have caused the dislocation, and staff reported that the client often attempted to get up without assistance.

If the incident must be reported to the CEP, the RN would make the report as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours after the incident, consistent with the vulnerable adult reporting policy. If it was a reportable incident, the RN would immediately begin an investigation. The nurse would document in the client's chart the details of any incident involving the client and would document the follow-up actions that were taken. The licensee's "Vulnerable Adult Reporting and Investigation" policy and procedure dated June 7, 2014, indicated if staff observed an unexplained physical injury they should immediately notify the RN, who would conduct and internal investigation to determine whether the injury was unexplained and whether a report to the CEP was required.
