Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure respect and dignity was
maintained for 3 of 25 sampled residents (38, 91, and 106) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 38's privacy curtain was not drawn while she was voiding (passing urine from the body) on a
toilet seat;
2. Resident 91 did not have appropriate covering or clothing and was exposed to view from her room; and
3. Resident 106's urinary catheter drainage bags (a urinary catheter is a thin, flexible tube used to drain
urine from the bladder) was left uncovered.
These failures had the potential to affect the emotional and psychosocial well-being of the residents.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 5/4/21 at 3:15 p.m., Resident 38 was on a toilet seat beside her bed. Her
privacy curtain was not drawn and the resident's door was open to the hallway where other residents and
staff passed by. Two activity staff were present in the room. Resident 38's lower body part was exposed
naked from waist level to lower legs.
During an interview with LVN J on 5/4/21 at 3:35 p.m. , LVN J stated the curtain should be drawn to provide
visual privacy while the resident was on a commode to promote resident dignity.
A review of the facility's policy titled Resident's Rights dated 1/15/2007, indicated residents shall have the
right to be treated with consideration, respect and full recognition of dignity and individuality, including
privacy in treatment and in care of personal needs.
2. During an observation and concurrent interview with licensed vocational nurse E (LVN E) on 5/4/21 at
2:55 p.m., Resident 91 was sleeping in bed. Her privacy curtain was not drawn. Resident 91 was visible
from the hallway with no clothes on except for an adult diaper. LVN E confirmed the observation and
immediately drew the curtain and helped Resident 91 put on her clothes. She stated Resident 91 had the
tendency to pull her clothes off due to her behavior. LVN E acknowledged Resident 91's dignity should
always be protected by checking and making frequent rounds.

Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition
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 complete a significant change in status assessment
(SCSA) in the minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) for one of 25 sampled residents (87) when the
resident had significant weight loss, had declined in activities of daily living (ADL, daily self-care tasks, e.g.,
bathing, toileting, and transferring) and had declined bowel continence.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures had the potential to result in Resident 87 unable to achieve or maintain optimal status of
health, function and quality of life.
Findings:
Review of Resident 87's face sheet (summary page of a patient's important information) indicated he was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing), major
depressive disorder (mood disorder that interferes with daily life) and schizoaffective disorder (a mental
illness that can affect your thoughts, mood and behavior).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 1:41 p.m., with registered dietitian BB (RD
BB), she reviewed the clinical records of Resident 87 and stated the ideal body weight (IBW) is 130
lbs.-155 lbs. and his height is 5'6. She further stated that Resident 87 was below his IBW.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 2:08 p.m., with the RD BB, she reviewed the
clinical records of Resident 87 and stated readmission weight on 9/25/21 was 114 lbs., on 10/24/21, weight
is 105 lbs. She further stated that Resident 87 had a 7.8% weight loss in a month.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 3:52 p.m., with RD BB, she reviewed the
weight variance committee meeting notes dated 10/26/2020. She stated there was no nursing staff present
during the discussion about Resident 89's weights and the director of nursing was aware about weight loss
of 5 % or more in the last 30 days. She further stated that the weight loss of Resident 87 was unplanned.
Review of Resident 87's MDS dated [DATE], indicated his cognition (mental, thought processes) and brief
interview for mental status (BIMS, cognition level) score of four is severely impaired. He required extensive
assistance with two persons assist in activities of daily living (ADL), locomotion on unit indicate activity
occurred only once or twice, walk in room needs limited assistance with one person assist and locomotion
off unit did not occur over seven day period. His bowel continence is frequently incontinent- two or more
episodes of bowel incontinence but at least one continent bowel movement.
Review of Resident 87's MDS dated [DATE], he required extensive assistance with more than two people
physical assist with bed mobility, dressing and personal hygiene. Eating required extensive assistance with
one-person assist, locomotion on unit and locomotion off unit did not occur over seven day period and for
transfer activity occurred only once or twice with one person physical assist. His bowel continence is always
incontinent-no episode of continent bowel movement.
During an interview and concurrent record review with minimum data set coordinator D (MDSC D) on
5/7/21 at 4:11 p.m., he reviewed the RD notes, care plan and weight variance meeting notes and confirmed
that Resident 87 had a weight loss of 7.8 % within 30 days. He stated he was not aware of the

have been done within 14 days from the determination of the significant change in status.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/7/21 at 4:30 p.m. with MDSC D, he reviewed the MDS
dated [DATE] and 9/25/2020. He stated Resident 87 had two or more decline in ADL's, declined bowel
continence and a weight loss of 7.8 % within the last 30 days from the readmission weight on 9/25/21 was
114 lbs., on 10/24/21, weight is 105 lbs.
MDSC D confirmed there was no evidence a SCSA comprehensive assessment was done and no
interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a
common goal for residents) discussion about criteria of a SCSA.
Review of Resident Assessment Instrument Manual 3.0 Version 1.16.1, dated 10/2018, indicated .a
significant change in status assessment must be completed on the fourteenth calendar day after
determination that a significant change in the resident's status occurred. The manual further indicated a
SCSA MDS is appropriate when a resident declined in two or more areas or the emergence of an
unplanned weight loss problem .
Review of the facility's general policy guidelines revision dated 10/29/2015, titled Weight Management,
indicated a weight management committee (IDT) will review all significant weight variances. All residents
with significant weight change will be discuss in the weight committee, stand -up meeting and /or care
conferences (IDT). Any significant weight change that may require a new MDS according to RAI guidelines
will be evaluated by the IDT.

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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered
care plan with measurable objectives, goal and person-centered interventions, for one of 25 sampled
residents (118).
This deficient practice had the potential to result not meeting the resident's needs.
Findings:
During an observation on 5/3/21 at 10:21 a.m., Resident 118 was lying in bed, with a fall mat on the floor
next to his bed and had a low bed. Resident 118 had unclear speech, slurred and mumbled words.
A review of Resident 118's face sheet indicated he was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included Schizophrenia (chronic brain disorder characterized by hallucinations, disorganized thoughts
and speech, and trouble thinking), Alzheimer's (a progressive disease that destroys memory and mental
functions), dementia (decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability
to perform everyday activities), Anxiety disorder (medical condition includes symptoms of intense anxiety or
panic that are directly caused by a physical health problem.) and type 2 diabetes mellitus(high blood sugar).
Review of Resident 118's minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 4/8/21, indicated his
cognition (mental, thought processes) and a brief interview for mental status (BIMS, cognition level) score
of three is severely impaired. He required extensive assistance with one person physical assist in activities
of daily living (ADL), non-ambulatory, wheelchair locomotion on and off unit did not occur and transfer
activity did occur but only one or twice in seven days from bed to wheelchair. His speech was unclear; he
slurred or mumbled words and only sometimes understands.
A review of Resident 118's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated a fall risk score of 17 (High Risk =
10 or above).
A review of Resident 118's Care plan dated 7/7/17 indicated Resident 118 was at risk for falls due to
psychoactive drug use, impaired physical function, gait or balance problem and behavior issues related to
diagnosis of dementia and schizophrenia.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/5/21 at 4:47 p.m., with the assistant director of
nursing (ADON), she reviewed Resident 118's baseline Fall Care Plan dated 7/7/17 and 4/23/21. She
stated most of the fall interventions on the care plan were not relevant to the resident. Resident 118 could
not walk, and providing non-skid footwear, ensure usage when ambulating and propelling himself in his
wheelchair did not apply, providing verbal cues, encouragement and frequent reminders to ask for
assistance using the call light when getting in and out of bed were not meaningful interventions. Resident
118 was not cognitively aware and was not capable of using the call light to ask for help. The ADON further
stated it was her expectation for care plans to be individualized, resident specific, realistic and measurable
goal and implemented.

obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a disease that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related
problems.)
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 117's physician order indicated he had an order for oxygen 2 liter (L, a metric unit of
volume) per minute (LPM) to 5 LPM as needed every shift related to COPD.
During an observation with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 5/3/21 at 10:25 a.m., Resident 117 was
lying in bed and was administered oxygen at 1.25 LPM.
During a concurrent interview with LVN C, she confirmed Resident 117 was administered oxygen at 1.25
LPM. LVN C stated it should have been 2LPM.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure bladder care was provided
for one of five residents with indwelling urinary catheter (hollow tube that is inserted into your bladder to
drain urine) when Resident 329's urinary collection bag was not emptied. This failure had the potential to
cause resident's urinary tract infection (when bacteria gets into urine and travels up to bladder).
Findings:
During an observation on 5/4/21 at 3:30 p.m., Resident 329's urinary collection bag was full, bulky and
hanging beside the bed. It contained more than 1000 ml of amber urine .
During an interview with LVN K on 5/04/21 at 3:32 p.m., LVN K stated the urinary collection bag was not
emptied since this morning and should have been emptied on every shift to avoid it becoming too full and
heavy, which may pull on the catheter. This should occur every 2 to 3 hours or when the bag is about half to
three-quarters full.
Review of Resident 329's physician order dated 1/25/21, indicated Catheter care daily (per facility protocol)
- AM every day shift.
Review of Resident 329's care plan to address risk for urinary system alteration related to retention of urine
secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, obstructive uropathy and renal stone, revised date 9/30/2020,
