The DON stated residents at risk for falls or residents with a history of falls were automatically placed with a chair or bed alarms. The DON stated the Director of Staff Development (DSD) had not educated the staff on position change alarms because the DSD was not aware that position change alarms could be consider as a restraint. On 8/22/18 at 11:05 a.m., during an interview, DON reviewed the clinical record for Resident 2 and was unable to find documentation of Resident 2's physician's order for the bed alarm.

Resident 95 was sent to GACH and the facility did not knew when he would come back. The SSD stated, "I didn't know I had to notify the ombudsman. I haven't done that for residents that went to the acute care, nobody ever told me. I was not aware of the new regulation." On 8/22/18 at 11:00 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, "I don't know that we were supposed to be notifying the ombudsman if a resident gets transferred to the hospital and does not come back."

This failure resulted in Resident 24's dental care needs going unmet. Findings: Resident 24's face sheet (a document with resident profile information) indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on 9/18/15 and readmitted on 5/10/18. 8/21/18 at 10:01a.m., during an observation and concurrent interview, Resident 24 stated, "I lost my dentures before I came [to the facility] but I want some.

Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify resident care needs) dated 8/10/18, indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- an assessment of cognitive status) score of three points out of fifteen points which indicated Resident 2 had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required extensive assistance of two staff members to transfer from one surface to another. Resident 2's progress notes dated 8/22/18, indicated "... Resident [2] accusing her roommate ... of stealing her belongings, roommate very upset about it, daughter here, asked [Resident 2] and daughter if she [Resident 2] would like to move out of the room, [Resident 2] said yes, asked [Resident 2] if she would like to move to [another] room ...

It's a nursing measure. It doesn't need a [physician's order]. I didn't know that bed and chair alarms are considered restraints... We just thought it was a nursing measure." The DON stated residents at risk for falls or residents with a history of falls were automatically placed with a chair or bed alarms. The DON stated the Director of Staff Development (DSD) had not educated the staff on position change alarms because the DSD was not aware that position change alarms could be consider as a restraint.

As a result of this failure, Resident 1 suffered a right femoral (hip) fracture (broken bone). Resident 1 was sent to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) where she underwent general anesthesia (medication to render the resident unconscious and pain free during surgery) in preparation for repair of the hip fracture. Resident 1 experienced complications of anesthesia and was determined to be too high risk to proceed with the surgical repair; the surgery was cancelled and Resident 1 spent seven days in the GACH recuperating from the fall. Resident 1 experienced a decline, suffered pain, and became bedbound following the fall and fracture. Findings: Review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, "Admission Record (record containing resident personal information)," indicated Resident 1 was 95 years old and was admitted to the skilled nursing facility (SNF) on 4/16/15 with diagnoses that included dementia (a disorder that affects memory, reasoning, judgement, and ability to communicate) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (disease affecting the lungs and the ability to breathe).

This failure had the potential for ATB's to be used when it was not indicated and placed Resident 34 at risk to develop an ATB resistant bacteria. Findings: On 8/24/18 at 10:34 a.m., during an interview, Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) stated Resident 34 was placed on prophylactic ATB without urinalysis. The ICP stated, "The Urologist (A doctor who specializes in the study or treatment of the function and disorders of the urinary system) ordered Antibiotics from 7/19/18 to 8/7/18 with no UA labs done prior to the start of the medication." On 8/24/18 at 1:03 p.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the Urologist did not do a UA prior to the start of antibiotics. The DON stated, "We are supposed to do a UA." The DON stated, "The urologist ordered the treatment because [Resident 34] has a history of chronic [frequent] UTI (urinary tract) infections."
