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, . Resident has DIAGNOSIS OF

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, . A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that
includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional
needs is developed and implemented for each resident . The comprehensive, person-centered care plan

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to meet professional standards of practice for one of six
sampled residents (Resident 1) when Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 did not follow professional
standards for the administration of oxygen (O2- an odorless gas that is present in the air and necessary to
maintain life) on 11/14/23 when she administered oxygen to Resident 1 with a non-rebreather mask (a
special mask placed over the nose and mouth to provide oxygen in emergencies) without a physician's
order.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure placed Resident 1 at risk for suffocation (die from being unable to breathe) from improper usage
of a non-rebreather mask.
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 an interview on 3/27/24 at 1:35 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated Resident 1
had tested positive for COVID-19 on 11/10/23. The IP stated when a resident tests positive for COVID-19,
their vital signs with oxygen (O2) saturation were checked every 2 hours.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/24/23 at 2:37 p.m. with LVN 1, Resident 1's physician
orders dated November 2023 were reviewed. The orders indicated, . Oxygen 3 liters / min [LPM-the flow of

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.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an effective infection control program
for two of six sampled residents (Residents 4 and 6) when the Treatment Nurse (TN) failed to follow
infection control precautions during wound care.
Residents Affected - Some
These failures placed Residents 4 and 6 at risk for wound infections.
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.
During a review of Resident 6 ' s AR, undated, the AR indicated, Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses which included non-pressure chronic ulcer (wound caused by poor circulation) of left
lower leg, infection of amputation (partial or total loss of the limbs) stump (part of a limb left following
amputation), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (disease that occurs when your blood sugar is too high).

During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/27/24 at 10:50 a.m. with the TN and Resident 6,
Resident 6 was sitting up in bed, his right leg was missing from the mid-thigh down. The TN prepared the
wound care supplies and placed them into the blue basket. The TN took the basket, a bottle of hand
sanitizer and a box of gloves into the room and placed them directly onto Resident 6 ' s bed. The TN
sanitized her hands with hand gel, donned gloves, removed the soiled dressing, and discarded the gloves
and dressing into a plastic bag. The TN sanitized her hands and donned new gloves and performed the
wound care. The TN discarded her gloves and sanitized her hands. 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.
