This survey cited 12 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to initiate a change of condition (COC) for one of six sampled residents (Resident 13), who was readmitted from a general acute care hospital (GACH) with significant weight loss. As a result, a physician was not notified of Resident 13's weight loss, which placed Resident 13 at risk for further weight loss. Findings: A review of Resident 13's admission Record, indicated Resident 13 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including thrombocytopenia (low platelet level), elevated white blood cell count (measures the number of white cells in the blood), end stage renal disease (a condition in which the kidneys lose the ability to remove waste and balance fluids), chronic respiratory failure (a condition when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood), muscle weakness, dysphagia (inability to swallow), type 2 diabetes (body's inability to process blood sugar), depression (loss of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time), peripheral vascular disease (a circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs), hypertension (elevated blood pressure), chronic vascular disorders of intestine (narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the intestines), hypothyroidism (low thyroid levels), and atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in artery walls). A review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care-screening tool), dated 2/27/2024, indicated Resident 13's cognitive (relating to mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision-making were severely impaired. MDS indicated Resident 13 was dependent on staff with activities of daily livings (ADLs-bed mobility, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene). A review of Resident 13's Nutritional Screen and assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident's weight was 110 lbs (pounds) on 3/6/2024. The Nutritional Screen and Assessment indicated Resident 13's body mass index (a measure of body fat based on height and weight) was within normal limits and the weight loss (18.5%) on readmission from acute care was likely related to aggressive hemodialysis treatment (normal a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not functioning) with fluid removal in hospital. The Nutritional Screen and Assessment indicated dietary recommendations plan of care met estimated needs, and to continue to monitor and adjust diet for Resident 13. Supplements as indicated.

Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in inappropriate treatment of oxygen delivery, placing Resident 118 at risk to experience shortness of breath and/or hypoxia (a state in which oxygen is not available in sufficient amounts at the tissue level to maintain adequate homeostasis) Findings: A review of Resident 118's admission Record, indicated Resident 118 was initially admitted on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including bipolar disorder (a disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs), anxiety disorder (persistent worry), depression (a mood disorder characterized by feelings sadness), anemia (low blood red blood cells), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), chronic respiratory failure (not enough oxygen), pressure ulcer of sacral region (bed sores), psoriasis (a condition in which cells build up and form scales and itchy patches), epilepsy (a seizure disorder), emphysema (a type of lung disease that causes breathlessness), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), hypercalcemia (elevated calcium levels), and dysphagia (inability to swallow). A review of Resident 118's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care-screening tool), dated 12/14/2023, indicated Resident 118's cognitive (relating to mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision-making were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 118 was dependent on staff with activities of daily livings (ADLs-bed mobility, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene). A review of Resident 118's Physician Orders dated 3/7/2024, indicated an order for oxygen at 2 liters/minute (measures amount of fluid passes through cross-sectional area) via nasal cannula (used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient in need of respiratory help) as needed to maintain oxygen saturation (a measure of how much hemoglobin is bound to oxygen) at 95%. During an observation and a concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) in Resident 118's room, on 3/13/2024 at 9:25 AM, Resident 118 was observed on oxygen via nasal cannula at 1 liter per minute. LVN 5 confirmed and stated, the physician's order was for Resident 118 to receive 2 liters. LVN 5 stated Resident 118 was not receiving the correct oxygen treatment. LVN 5 further stated, not following the physician's order can lead to the resident to experience increased shortness of breath. A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P & P) titled, Oxygen Administration dated October 2010, indicated, the purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration. Preparation includes to verify that there is a physician's order for the procedure and review the physician's orders.
