Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain one of four sampled residents' privacy
(Resident 1) when licensed nurse (LN) 3 used her personal phone to take a photograph of Resident 1. This
failure resulted in a violation of Resident 1's privacy, potentially negatively affecting his psychosocial
well-being. Findings:Findings:A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, admission RECORD,
(contains clinical and demographic data) indicated Resident 1 had been admitted to the facility with
diagnoses which included dementia (a general term for a loss of brain function that is not a normal part of
aging, causing significant problems with memory, thinking, and social abilities).A review of Resident 1's
clinical document titled, Progress Note, dated 9/2/25, by LN 3, indicated LN 3 was informed by a NOC shift
(6:30 a.m. through 7 p.m.) nurse that Resident 1's arm was tied to the bed during the Intravenous (IV plastic tube placed in the vein to deliver medication) line placement. LN 3 informed the NOC nurse that she
needed to untie Resident 1's arm from the bed because it was a form of a restraint (devices that limit a
resident's movement). LN 3 took a picture with her personal phone before the arm was untied from the
bed.During an interview with the Administrator (ADM) on 12/5/25 at 10:34 a.m., the ADM confirmed LN 3
had taken a picture of Resident 1's right arm on LN 3's personal phone. The ADM stated that the
importance of not taking pictures on staff's personal phone was that the phone may not be encrypted
(coded to protect against unlawful access) and could have been accessed by people who were not
employed by the facility. A review of the facility policy titled, Resident Rights, revised 2/2021, indicated, .
Employees shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity . Federal and state laws guarantee
certain basic rights to all residents of this facility. These rights include the resident's right to . a dignified
existence . privacy and confidentiality .

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of four sampled residents (Resident
1) environment was free of accident hazards when Resident 1's right wrist remained in an arm positioning
device (a medical tool that holds a patient's arm in a specific, stable, and extended position during the
procedure and does not allow for movement) following a mid-line insertion (medical procedure of placing a
thin, flexible tube (catheter) into a large vein in the upper arm, with the tip terminating just below the
armpit).This failure had the potential for injury related to the arm positioning device being secured to
Resident 1's bedframe, potentially negatively affecting Resident 1's health, safety, and emotional
well-being.A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, admission RECORD, (contains clinical and
demographic data) indicated Resident 1 had been admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included a
fall, abnormal gait, and impaired mobility (any unusual walking pattern that deviates from a normal, smooth,
and coordinated stride).A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, Order Details, dated 8/31/25,
indicated, . May insert midline ., During an interview with certified nursing assistant (CNA) 1 on 11/14/25 at
4:34 p.m., CNA 1 stated she received a shift report from CNA 2 regarding Resident 1's current health
condition. CNA 1 explained that when she and CNA 2 went into Resident 1's room, CNA 1 stated she saw
the Resident 1's arm in a positioning device. CNA 1 further explained she informed licensed nurse (LN) 1
about the arm positioning device. CNA 1 stated the arm positioning device was still on Resident 1 when she
changed his brief (adult diaper) in the morning. CNA 1 explained she removed the arm positioning device to
change Resident 1 and when she was done changing him, she put the arm positioning device back on
Resident 1.During an interview with LN 1 on 11/14/25 at 4:39 p.m., LN 1 stated she first became aware of
the arm positioning device at approximately on 9/1/25 at 6:00 a.m. when she passed medications. LN 1
explained she did not remove the arm positioning device. LN 1 further explained she informed the
oncoming day shift nurse (LN 3) of the device.During an interview with CNA 2 on 11/14/25 at 5:26 p.m.,
CNA 2 confirmed that during shift change (a set of nurses are done working and a new set of nurses start
working) he discussed the arm positioning device with CNA 1 and stated he asked CNA 1 if she would
inform the nurse. CNA 2 explained CNA 1 told her he would inform the nurse. CNA 2 further stated CNA 1
had informed LN 1 about the arm positioning device.During an interview with LN 2 on 11/18/25 at 10:53
a.m., LN 2 stated she was aware of the arm positioning device when LN 4 (from an outside agency)
requested assistance from LN 2. LN 2 explained she saw the arm positioning device on Resident 1's right
wrist as she held Resident 1's left arm to assist LN 4. LN 2 further explained LN 4 required assistance due
to Resident 1's agitation and aggression. LN 2 stated she had not realized the arm positioning device had
still been in place because Resident 1's right wrist was covered.During an interview with LN 3 on 11/21/25
at 11:49 a.m., LN 3 stated that at change of shift on 9/1/25, LN 1 informed her that the arm positioning
device on Resident 1's right wrist was still in place. LN 3 explained she informed LN 1 the arm positioning
device should not still be on and told LN 1 to remove the device. LN 3 further explained that around 9 a.m.,
CNA 3 asked her why Resident 1's right arm was secured to the bedframe, LN 3 informed CNA 3 Resident
1's right arm should not be secured to the bedframe. LN 3 stated she went to take a picture of Resident 1's
right arm in the arm positioning device so she could inform the administrator. LN 3 stated LN 1 tried to
prevent her from taking the picture and managed to unsecure the arm positioning device before she could
take the picture. LN 3 further stated she informed the administrator regarding the arm positioning
device.During an interview with CNA 3 on 12/2/25 at 1:47 p.m., CNA 3 confirmed she informed LN 3 about
the arm positioning device. CNA 3 stated Resident 1's right arm was secured to the bedframe, and he could
