F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered comprehensive care plan for one of six sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 did not have a care plan with measurable goals and interventions after testing positive for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19-a highly contagious infectious disease caused by a virus from respiratory droplets that can spread from person to person) on 11/10/23 and Licensed Nurses did not develop a care plan for oxygen therapy since her admission to the facility on [DATE]. These failures had the potential for Resident 1's COVID-19 and oxygen therapy care needs to go unmet. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR-document containing resident demographic information and medical diagnosis) undated, the admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnosis included type 2 diabetes mellitus (high levels of sugar in the blood), atrial fibrillation (a fib-type of abnormal heartbeat), history of pulmonary embolism (a blood clot travels through the bloodstream to the lungs), weakness, and difficulty in walking. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool used to identify resident cognitive (mental process) and physical function) Assessment dated 11/10/23, indicated Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS -assessment of memory and judgment) assessment score was 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately impaired, 00-07 indicates severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/27/24 at 12:00 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. LVN 1 stated she was unable to locate a COVID-19 care plan initiated on 11/10/23. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 had a change of condition when she tested positive for COVID-19 and a care plan should have been initiated. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's care plans should have included specific interventions to guide the care for treating COVID-19 and preventing complications. During an interview on 3/27/24 at 1:35 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated Resident 1 tested positive for COVID-19 on 11/10/23. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/24/23 at 2:37 p.m. with LVN 1, Resident 1's COVID-19 care plan dated 11/13/23 was reviewed, the care plan indicated, .

LVN 1 stated she was unsure why the COVID-19 care plan was entered three days after the COVID-19 diagnosis. LVN 1 stated the interventions would not be effective in meeting the goal of maintaining Residents 1's airway and oxygen exchange. LVN 1 stated the interventions were not personalized to meet Resident 1's needs. LVN 1 stated the goal which indicated normal O2 saturation was not appropriate because normal was different for everyone. Resident 1's physician orders dated November 2023 were reviewed. The orders indicated, . Oxygen 3 liters / min [LPM] or to keep O2 above 92 % . via Nasal Cannula [a device that delivers oxygen through a small tube into the nose], Humidification [addition of heat or moisture to a gas] . Continuously via concentrator [medical device that provides extra oxygen] . LVN 1 stated Resident 1 received supplemental oxygen at 3 LPM via nasal cannula since admission to the facility on [DATE]. LVN 1 stated she was unable to locate a care plan for oxygen use and the licensed nurses should have initiated on upon admission. During a concurrent telephone interview and record review on 4/24/24 at 4:24 p.m. with the infection preventionist (IP), Resident 1's Infection Note, dated 11/10/23, at 10:04 p.m., was reviewed. The IP stated she had received a phone call from the charge nurse on 11/10/23 notifying her Resident 1 had tested positive for COVID-19. The IP stated the process when a resident tested positive for COVID-19 was the charge nurse to complete an assessment, SBAR and change of condition note, notify the physician, obtain orders if appropriate, notify the family and initiate a care plan. The IP stated she was unable to locate a care plan initiated before 11/13/23. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/25/24 at 3:56 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. The DON stated she was unable locate a COVID-19 care plan initiated on 11/10/23. The DON stated a COVID-19 care plan should have been initiated within one day of the positive test result. The DON reviewed Resident 1's COVID-19 care plan dated 11/13/23. The DON stated Resident 1's care plan goal indicated, . Resident will maintain airway and oxygen exchange as evidence [evidenced] by normal O2 saturation and respiratory rate . The DON stated when the care plan was developed, Resident 1's medical history and baseline status should have been considered in determining person-centered goals. The DON stated Resident 1's COVID-19 care plan was generic, not personalized and did not include specific care needs such as supplemental oxygen, vital signs, or symptom management. The DON stated care plans were important because they directed the plan of care provided to the residents. The DON reviewed Resident 1's care plans in the EMR and stated she was unable to locate a care plan for oxygen therapy. The DON stated when Resident 1 was admitted to the facility, an oxygen care plan should have been initiated and included individualized goals and interventions. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated, .

Oxygen Therapy . Oxygen is considered a medication and, therefore, requires a prescription and continuous monitoring by the nurse to ensure its safe and effective use . nasal cannula is the simplest oxygenation device . a non-rebreather mask consists of a mask attached to a reservoir bag that is attached with tubing to flow meter . The flow rate for a non-rebreather mask should be set to deliver a minimum of 10 to 15 L/minute . Disadvantages . there is a high risk of suffocation if the gas flow is interrupted . Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/25/24 at 3:56 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's nurse's notes dated 11/14/23, at 5:03 a.m. and 10:58 p.m., written by LVN 2, were reviewed. The DON stated the notes indicated Resident 1 had removed her nasal cannula and LVN 2 placed a non-rebreather mask on the resident. The DON stated a non-rebreather mask was usually used if a resident was in respiratory distress (a condition where the body needs more oxygen) and LVN 2's notes did not indicate the resident was in distress. The DON stated if a resident needed a non-rebreather, it was usually an emergency, and the physician should have been notified after the mask was applied. The DON stated an order was needed for a non-rebreather mask but in case of an emergency, the nurse could apply the mask and call the physician as soon as possible. The DON stated LVN 2's notes indicated the non-rebreather mask was used because Resident 1 was removing her nasal cannula. The DON reviewed LVN 2's documentation and stated she was unable to determine if a non-rebreather mask was necessary.

Findings: During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission Record (AR-a document with person identifiable and medical information), undated, the AR indicated, Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (lack of bladder control caused by nervous system condition), pressure ulcer (injury to the skin and tissue below the skin due to long periods of pressure) of sacral region (bottom of the spine) stage 4 (full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle), pressure ulcer of left hip stage 3 (full thickness tissue loss without exposed bone, tendon, or muscle) and paraplegia (paralysis of the legs). During a review of Residents 4 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify resident cognitive and physical function) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 4 ' s Brief Interview of Mental status assessment (BIMS – assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgement) scored 15 of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately impaired, and 00-07 indicates severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident 4 was cognitively intact. During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/27/24 at 10:09 a.m. with the TN, the TN prepared Resident 4 ' s wound care supplies on top of the treatment cart. The TN had a blue plastic basket on top of the cart and placed the wound care supplies into the basket. The TN took the blue basket into Resident 4 ' s room and placed it onto the bedside table without a barrier in between the table and basket. The TN donned (put on) gloves without sanitizing her hands and removed the soiled dressing. The TN placed the soiled dressing and gloves into a plastic bag and donned a new pair of gloves without performing hand hygiene. The TN cleaned the wound with a moist gauze (a fabric bandage to dress wounds), patted it dry and doffed (took off) the gloves. The TN did not perform hand hygiene, donned new gloves, and applied the cover dressing. The TN stated she was not aware she should sanitize her hands in between glove changes. The TN stated the purpose of hand hygiene was to make sure nothing dirty gets into the wound.

The TN took the basket, hand sanitizer and box of gloves off Resident 6 ' s bed and placed them on top of the treatment cart without sanitizing the items. The TN stated the cardboard box of gloves could not be properly sanitized and should not have been placed on Resident 6 ' s bed. The TN stated she should have placed the items on a barrier and not directly on the bed because it could spread an infection to the other residents. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 3/27/24 at 1:35 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated her expectation when the nurses provide wound care was for hands to be washed before and after wound care, the nurse should don gloves, remove the dirty dressing, and change her gloves. The IP stated wound supplies are single use, should not be taken into a resident ' s room and back to treatment cart. The IP stated If reusable supplies were taken into a room, then a barrier would need to be placed under the items and the items cleaned properly before returning to the treatment cart. The IP stated if a box of gloves were taken into a resident room, the box should be left in the room. The IP stated a resident ' s bed was not a clean area and wound care supplies should never be placed on the bed. The IP stated the treatment nurse should always place the wound care supplies on a barrier on top of the bedside table for infection control. The IP stated she was unsure if the nurse ' s hands needed to be sanitized in between glove changes while providing wound care. The IP stated it was important for staff to follow the infection control guidelines during wound care to prevent infections and cross contamination. During an interview on 3/27/24 at 1:58 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated gloves should be changed after a dirty dressing is removed, during wound care, and prior to applying a clean dressing. The DON stated her expectation for hand hygiene was for hands to be washed with soap and water or use hand sanitizer. The DON stated if proper hand hygiene was not performed during wound care, it could introduce bacteria into the wound. The DON stated if wound supplies were taken into a resident room, there should be a barrier between the bedding and the basket with the wound supplies. The DON stated the basket would need to be cleaned thoroughly after being in the resident room. The DON stated if infection control procedures were not followed it could spread infections to other residents.
