F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to treat one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 27) with respect and dignity when: 1. Resident 27 had a clothing protector, commonly known as bib on for over three hours after breakfast hours; and 2. Registered Nurse (RN 1) addressed Resident 27 as [NAME] during incontinent care. These failures resulted in Resident 27 to not receive individualized care and had potential for Resident 27 to not feel respected. Findings: During a record review of Resident 27's admission Record dated 2/23/22, it indicated Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a record review of Resident 27's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment used to plan care) dated 1/27/22, the MDS assessment indicated, Resident 27's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMSan assessment for cognition status) score was five (5) out of 15, indicating severe mental impairment. 1. During an observation on 2/22/22, at 10:03 a.m., Resident 27 was sitting in a wheelchair outside his room. Resident 27 had a large towel clothing protector on around his neck, covering his chest. During another observation on 2/22/22, at 11:15 a.m., Resident 27 still had the clothing protector on while he was sitting in his wheelchair by his bed. During an observation and interview on 2/22/22, at 11:35 a.m., Resident 27's clothing protector was on his bedside table. RN 1 stated she removed Resident 27's clothing protector when she provided incontinent care to him. RN 1 stated, we always put the bib [clothing protector] because he [Resident 27] drools a lot and spits on the floor. During an interview on 2/22/22, at 1:58 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated staff put the clothing protector on residents before they eat and removed when residents were done eating. The DON stated it was a resident's dignity issue if clothing protector was not removed after Resident 27 was done eating his breakfast. The DON stated facility served breakfast around 8:00 a.m. that day.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 2. During an observation on 2/25/22, at 8:33 a.m., Resident 23 requested assistance from Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 3) in emptying the colostomy bag (a bag attached to an opening into the abdomen to excrete the fecal matter). Resident 23 was in lying position. Resident 23 removed the blanket from the lower part of his body while his legs and colostomy were exposed. CNA 3 handed a bed pan to Resident 23 and told him to put it in between his legs right above the genital area. Resident 23's bed was right by the door, which was wide open. CNA 3 did not pull the privacy curtain while Resident 23 emptied the colostomy bag. Residents Affected - Some During an interview with CNA 3 and Resident 23 on 2/25/22, at 8:45 a.m., at Resident 23's bedside, CNA 3 apologized for not pulling the privacy curtain during colostomy care. Resident 23 stated he would like the staff to pull the privacy curtain to provide him privacy during colostomy care. During a record review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity and Privacy During Care, the P&P indicated, Staff shall promote, maintain, and protect resident privacy, including bodily privacy during assistance with personal care . Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure privacy and confidentiality of medical information for two of two sampled residents (Residents 23 and 30) when: 1. Resident 30's electronic medical record was left exposed at Medication Cart 1; and 2. Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) did not provide privacy during toileting for Resident 23. These failures had the potential for unauthorized access to Resident 30's medical information and it violated resident's right to privacy for Resident 23. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/25/22, at 9:33 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), the computer screen was observed open to Resident 30's medical record on Medication Cart 1. The computer screen was also observed exposing Resident 30's name, vital signs, physician name, allergy status, code status, photo, care plan, and pain assessment. LVN 2 stated Resident 30's record should have been secured when she stepped away from the cart. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/25/22, at 9:48 a.m., the DON stated there is a button on the computer screen for staff to use that secures the computer screen when they step away from the workstation. The DON further stated securing the computer displaying resident personal and medical information is important because the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires medical records be kept confidential.

During an observation with Certified Nursing Assistant 1(CNA 1) on 2/24/22, at 9:07 a.m., Resident 30's overbed table [a table with metal base with four wheels, a metallic leg on one side and a wooden tray on the top] was at her bedside. All four sides of the top wooden tray of the table were unfurnished, uneven and rough to touch. CNA 1 stated Resident 30 used the overbed table daily. When asked about her thoughts about overbed table being unfurnished and rough to touch, CNA 1 stated, what can I say. During an observation with Registered Nurse (RN 1) on 2/24/22, at 9:58 a.m., in Resident 30's room, RN 1 stated, most of them [overbed tables] were old in the facility. RN 1 stated, because the overbed tables were rough and uneven, that could scratch resident's hands. RN 1 stated, staff reported the facility's administration of furniture repairs needs back in 12/2021 [almost two months ago]. During another observation with RN 1 and CNA 2 on 2/24/22, at 10:04 a.m., Resident 8 and Resident 2's overbed tables were observed. The edges of the top wooden tray for Resident 8 and Resident 2 were scratched, uneven and rough to touch. The top wooden tray for Resident 8's table also had multiple chipped areas.

The weekly overbed table log indicated, Examine all overbed tables weekly to ensure they are clean and in good repair. Wheels are clean and roll smoothly. Note location of table and comment on repairs made or need to discard or replace. AADM stated, the log did not indicate if overbed tables for Resident 30, 8 and 2 required repairs or needed to be replaced and the comment section was left blank. The AADM also stated, he did not think overbed tables for Resident 30, 8 and 2 turned into an unfurnished condition just in one month. The AADM stated, the maintenance supervisor was not available during the survey week. During a record review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Homelike Environment, the P&P indicated, Residents are provided with a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment .2 .The facility staff and management shall maximize to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized, homelike setting.

F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 23) received the necessary services to maintain personal hygiene when Resident 23 did not receive incontinent (inability to hold urine or bowels) care. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to make Resident 23 feel the lack of dignity and respect. Findings: During an interview on 2/22/22, at 11:15 a.m., with Resident 23, Resident 23 stated, there was an incident during the night shift when Resident 23 called a certified nursing assistant (CNA) to help with emptying Resident 23's colostomy bag (a plastic bag that collects fecal matter from the digestive tract through an opening in the stomach wall called a stoma). Resident 23 further stated, the CNA came to the room, handed Resident 23 the bedpan and gloves, and the CNA left the room without assisting Resident 23 with emptying the colostomy bag. During an interview on 2/23/22, at 6:44 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), LVN 3 stated, Resident 23 usually calls at night to request staff help hold the bedpan (receptacle used by a bedridden patient as a toilet) while Resident 23 empties the colostomy bag contents into the bedpan. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/25/22, at 8:33 a.m., in Resident 23's room, Resident 23 stated, staff does not help with incontinence care. Resident 23 was observed to asking Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) to hold the bedpan for Resident 23 to empty their colostomy bag contents into the bedpan. CNA 3 was observed stating she did not want to hold the bedpan for Resident 23. During an interview on 2/25/22, at 10:04 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, we empty the colostomy bag for Resident 23. The DON further stated, sometimes Resident 23 can empty the colostomy bag but staff has to help Resident 23. During a review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive health assessment) Section H - Bladder and Bowel, dated 1/17/22, the MDS Section H indicated, Resident 23 has an ostomy for bowel continence. During a review of Resident 23's MDS Section G - Functional Status, dated 1/17/22, the MDS Section G indicated, Resident 23's needs one-person physical assistance for toilet use. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Activities of Daily Living (ADL-term used in healthcare to refer to people's daily self-care activities), (undated), the P&P indicated, Each resident shall be offered and provided ADL support, while maintaining their highest practicable function, with safety, comfort and dignity.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to attempt to use alternatives, explain the risk and benefits and obtain informed consent from the resident and resident representative (RR) prior to installment of the bed side rails for 29 out of 29 residents (Resident 17, 13, 3, 8, 9, 27, 2, 20, 24, 29, 15, 30, 6, 1, 7, 14, 19, 22, 18, 23, 31, 26, 28, 21, 5, 11, 10, 16, and 25). Also, there was no side-rail assessment conducted prior to initiation of the bed side rails for Resident 30. The facility's failure to assess bed side rail use for Resident 30 placed Resident 30 at risk for entrapment and injuries. Also, these failures resulted in 29 of 29 residents and their RR's to be unaware of risks and benefits of side rails and to be able to make an informed decision. [cross reference F835] Findings: During a record review of the facility's undated document titled, Half side rails list, it indicated all 29 residents residing at the facility had half side rails when in bed as enabler. During an observation on 2/22/22, at 11:15 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., side rails were up on both sides of the bed for all 29 residents residing at the facility. During another observation on 2/24/22, between 9:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., bilateral bed side rails were up again for all 29 residents. During a record review of Resident 17, 13, 3, 8, 9, 27, 2, 20, 24, 29, 15, 6, 1, 7, 14, 19, 22, 18, 23, 31, 26, 28, 21, 5, 11, 10, 16, and 25's Side rail utilization assessment-V4,it indicated, three sections: 1. Assessment criteria, 2. Rationale, and 3. Signatures. The assessment did not indicate any section pertaining to explanation of risks and benefits or if residents/ RR agreed to provide an informed consent related to side rail use. During an interview with the Administrator (ADM ) on 2/24/22, at 12:44 p.m., the ADM stated, the facility did not have any evidence indicating the facility attempted to use alternatives prior to installing bed side rails on all 29 resident's beds. The ADM stated, the only alternative for side rails would be no side rails. The ADM also stated, we don't have the informed consent documented. During an interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/25/22, at 12:11 p.m., Resident 1's side rail assessment dated [DATE] was reviewed. Resident 1's assessment had the DON, Activity Director (AD) and Social Services Director (SSD) names on the assessment. The DON stated, the Inter-Disciplinary Team (IDT) names on the assessment indicated which team members discussed side rails use. The assessment also indicated, the RP [Responsible Party] under Responsible Party Signatures. The DON stated, RP meant Resident 1's RR was aware of side rail use and it's risks and benefits. When asked if she talked to Resident 1's RR to discuss side rail use, the DON stated, I haven't talked to anyone recently. The DON stated the IDT was responsible to obtain informed consent for side rail use.

During an interview with the DON on 2/24/22, at 10:07 a.m., the DON stated, she was aware the facility needed to obtain an informed consent for side rails from the resident or RR because it could be considered a restraint. The DON stated the facility did not have documentation indicating if risks and benefits for side rail use were explained to residents and/or RR to choose or decline side rails. During a concurrent observation and interview with Registered Nurse (RN 1) on 2/24/22, at 9:58 a.m., Resident 30's bed was observed with half side rails up on both sides. RN 1 stated Resident 30's bed always had half side rail up because Resident 30 always tried to get out of bed. During an interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/24/22, at 10:22 a.m., the DON was unable to locate a side rail assessment and stated, the facility did not complete the side rail utilization assessment for Resident 30. The DON stated the facility placed bedside rails on all 29 residents' beds since their date of admission. The DON further stated, Resident 30 was placed on side rails since her admission date on 1/24/22.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to record and document one controlled medication (medication with potential or risk for abuse) when Norco (medication for severe pain) was not recorded and documented on the facility's Narcotics (a drug or substance that affects mood or behavior) Log for one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 26). This deficient practice had the potential for loss or diversion of Resident 26's pain medication. Findings: A record review of Resident 26's admission Record, dated 2/24/22, indicated Resident 26 was admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record also indicated Resident 26 had medical diagnoses including multiple fractures (broken bones) of ribs and a history of falls.
