Resident 177 had an uncovered urinary collection bag (when urine drains from the bladder into a clear plastic drainage bag); and,2 . A staff member stood over Resident 4, while assisting with a meal.These failures had the potential for Residents 4 and 177 to feel exposed and undignified. Findings:1. Resident 177 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], after a hospital diagnosis of bacteremia (a bacterial infection in the bloodstream), per the hospital discharge records, dated 12/11/25.During initial tour on 12/15/25 at 9:42 A.M., Resident 177's bed was empty. According to Licensed Nurse 31 (LN 31), Resident 177 was outside the secured unit (a specialized, controlled environment within a facility, for residents with mental illness or memory loss) attending a physical therapy session.An observation was conducted of LN 32 on 12/15/25 at 2:34 P.M., as she was administering Resident 177 an intravenous antibiotic (medication administered directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein) in the resident's room. Resident 177 had a urinary collection bag hanging from the right bedframe. The collection bag was a milliliter cylinder type (usually utilized in a hospital setting for closely monitoring the urine output) and was uncovered. The urine was visible in the collection bag. A dignity bag (a dark colored bag utilized to cover urine collection bags) was not covering the collection bag or attached to the resident's wheelchair, which was used earlier to transport Resident 177 to physical therapy. A joint observation and interview was conducted with LN 32 while inside Resident 177's room on 12/15/25 at 2:54 P.M. LN 32 observed visible urine within Resident 177 urine collection bag and stated the drainage bag should have a dignity bag covering it, and there was not one present. LN 32 stated dignity bags were important to protect the resident's privacy and to provide dignity.An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON ) on 12/18/25, at 8:50 A.M.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure: 1.Timely assessment, monitoring and immediate physician notification in response to significant clinical changes, including suspected gastrointestinal (referring to the stomach and intestines) bleeding and ongoing nausea or vomiting for one of three sampled residents reviewed for closed record (Resident 1). Cross Reference F 580. 2. A physician's order was obtained from the attending physician prior to blood sugar checks on a resident (Resident 9) who was on insulin (antidiabetic medication). In addition, blood sugar checks was obtained without proper time interval. This deficient practice resulted in a delay in the resident receiving treatment to address Resident 1's necessary care and services and placed Resident 1's health at risk. In addition, Resident 9 had blood sugar checks without physician's order, without appropriate time interval and caused discomfort to Resident 9. Findings: Residents Affected - Some Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included pneumonia (infection of the lungs), per the facility's admission Record. A review of Resident 1's history and physical (H&P) dated [DATE] was conducted. Per the H&P, Resident 1's Computed Tomography (CT scan, a type of imaging that uses X-ray techniques to create detailed images) of his chest, abdomen and pelvis at the general acute care hospital (GACH) indicated Resident 1 had left chest wall large hematoma with active extravasation (a collection of blood in the extra thoracic space). The H&P indicated one of Resident 1's active medications was enoxaparin (anticoagulant, blood thinner medication). On [DATE] at 8:38 A.M., a joint record review and interview was conducted with LN 32. LN 32 stated Resident 1 was transferred to the GACH on [DATE] at 10:50 A.M. after a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR, a life sustaining treatment) was initiated at the facility. LN 32 stated Resident 1 was at GACH when he passed away. LN 32 stated per LN 1's nurses progress notes on [DATE] at 1:36 A.M. Resident 1 vomited large amount of coffee ground emesis (medical term for vomiting). LN 32 stated the progress notes indicated, after Resident 1 vomited a coffee ground emesis, Resident 1 received ondansetron (antiemetic medicine to prevent nausea and vomiting). LN 32 stated there was no documentation indicating Resident 1 was assessed before the antiemetic medications were given. LN 32 stated the progress notes indicated there were no documentation to indicate the physician was notified of Resident 1's change in condition (CIC) until 10:50 A.M. on [DATE]. LN 32 stated Resident 1 had CIC at 1:36 A.M. and that was more than nine hours after LN 1 observed Resident 1 had a CIC. LN 32 stated the LNs should have immediately informed the attending physician because Resident 1 was on anticoagulant and vomited a coffee ground emesis. LN 32 stated there was no monitoring documented for Resident 1. LN 32 stated the purpose of monitoring Resident 1 for further bleeding was to notify the attending physician because coffee ground emesis was a sign of bleeding and could be dangerous to Resident 1's health. On [DATE] 4:08 P.M., a joint review of Resident 1's clinical record and an interview were conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated Resident 1 had been receiving and anticoagulant from GACH. The DON stated the timeline was as follows: - - [DATE], Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility, and was on anticoagulant.

LN 33 reviewed Resident 99's physician order for Ativan behavior monitoring, which listed a behavior of restlessness. LN 33 stated the behavior was too vague and subjective. LN 33 stated the behavior should be more specific like, repeatedly pacing. getting up and down from bed. LN 33 stated the behavior of restlessness should have been captured sooner by staff and changed to a specific targeted behavior. An interview and record review was conducted regarding Resident 99 with LN 31 on 12/18/25 at 8:34 A.M. LN 31 stated specific behaviors needed to be listed by the physician for staff to monitor for, when receiving a psychotropic medication. LN 31 reviewed Resident 99's physicians' order for Ativan behavior monitoring. LN 31 stated the behavior of restlessness was too vague and was unacceptable for monitoring. LN 31 stated the behavior needed to be very specific such as yelling and/or screaming at staff.
