2. A review of Resident 384's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 4/21/2022, indicated
Resident 384's brief interview for mental status (BIMS, cognition level) score was 14 (a score of 13 to 15
indicates intact cognition).
During an interview with Resident 384 on 6/20/2022 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 384 stated she felt cold
whenever the temperature outside was 38 degrees Fahrenheit (F, a scale of temperature).
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 384 on 6/21/2022 at 9:07 a.m., a hard plastic
was covering part of the vent to redirect the air from Resident 384 to the door. Resident 384 stated, I give
up already honey. I don't think they can do anything about it. My hands feel cold. Resident 384 further
stated, it happened four to five weeks ago, she felt icy cold in her room around 4:10 a.m. Resident 384
stated she talked to the maintenance in charge, but the only solution he did was to cover the vent. There
was no thermostat inside Resident 384's room.
During an observation on 6/24/2022 at 9:36 a.m., the hallway where Resident 384's room was located had
a thermostat near the nurse station. The thermostat indicated the temperature was 70 degrees F.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comfortable and safe
temperature level for two of three sampled residents (Resident 59, and Resident 384 ) and in hallway
temperature was not maintained in the range of 71 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
This failure had the potential for the residents to have an uncomfortable environment.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 6/20/22 at 9:45 a.m., Resident 59 stated, I feel cold all the time, I use extra
blankets, and hat. Vent is blowing cold air all the times, I informed a staff about the cold room last week.
During an observation on 6/20/22 at 3:03 p.m., thermostat indicated 69 degrees Fahrenheit in hallway near
Nurse's Station.
During a follow up observation on 6/21/22 at 8:51a.m., thermostat indicated 70 degrees Fahrenheit in
hallway near nurse's station.
During a review of Resident 59's clinical record indicated she was admitted with diagnoses that include
anemia (condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells) unspecified

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 accurately complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment tool) for two of 20 sampled residents (Residents 31 and 8). Failure to accurately assess the
residents had the potential to compromise the facility's ability to develop and implement resident-centered
care plans and interventions.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 31's Change of Condition Evaluation, dated 3/7/2022, indicated Resident 31 had an
unwitnessed fall and was found sitting on the floor.
Resident 31's MDS dated [DATE] was reviewed. Section J1800 asked the question, Has the resident had
any falls since admission/entry or reentry or the prior assessment, whichever is more recent? The person
who completed the MDS coded 0, which indicated Resident 31 did not have any falls during the specified
time frame.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN) on 6/22/2022
at 11:15 a.m., the MDSN reviewed Resident 31's medical record and confirmed the resident fell on
3/7/2022. The MDSN stated this fall should have been coded on the MDS dated [DATE]. The MDSN
reviewed Resident 31's 4/5/2022 MDS and confirmed the fall was not coded. The MDSN stated that instead
of coding 0 in section J1800, the person who completed the MDS should have coded 1 to indicate Resident
31 fell during the specified time frame.
Review of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 10/2019 Resident Assessment Instrument
3.0 User's Manual (RAI Manual, MDS coding instructions) indicated for section J1800, Code 1, Yes if the
resident had fallen during the specified time frame.
2. During an observation on 6/20/2022 at 10:57 a.m., Resident 8 was lying in bed. Resident 8 was
observed raising her left hand pointing to her lower abdominal area, while her right arm was resting at the
right side of her chest.
During an interview with the certified nurse assistant C (CNA C) on 6/20/2022 at 11:00 a.m., CNA C stated
Resident 8 was not using her right hand anymore.
During an interview with restorative nurse aide D (RNA D) on 6/22/2022 at 9:55 a.m., RNA D confirmed
Resident 8 had limitation to the right arm.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the MDSN and the director of nursing (DON) on
6/22/2022 at 11:24 a.m., both MDSN and DON reviewed Resident 8's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE].
Section G0400A which was about Functional Limitation in Range of Motion to Upper extremity was coded
0, which indicated there was no impairment on Resident 8's upper extremity. The quarterly MDS dated
[DATE] and the annual MDS dated [DATE] were also reviewed. The MDSN and DON confirmed Section
G0400A was coded 0 on both of these MDS assessments. The MDSN and the DON were not able to
confirm the limitation on Resident 8's right upper extremity.
During an interview with licensed vocational nurse G (LVN G) on 6/24/2022 at 8:33 a.m., LVN G confirmed
Resident 8's right upper extremity had been weak and the resident was not able to use it ever

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure three out of 12 sampled residents
(Residents 5, 31, and 46) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affects brain
activities associated with mental processes and behaviors) when:
1. Resident 5 received lorazepam (brand name: Ativan; an anti-anxiety medication) without adequate
indication for use, and without a gradual dose reduction (GDR, a tapering of a dose to determine if
symptoms, conditions, or risks can be managed by a lower dose or if the dose or medication can be
discontinued) since April 2020 (more than 2 years ago); and trazodone (medication for depression) without
a GDR since August 2018 (almost for 4 years ago);
2. Resident 31 received sertraline (brand name: Zoloft; medication for depression) since April 2021 without
an attempted GDR; and
3. Resident 46 received sertraline since March 2019 (more than 3 years ago) without evidence of an
attempted GDR.
The failure resulted in unnecessary medications for the residents, which had the potential for increased
risks associated with psychotropic medication use that include, but not limited to, sedation, blurred vision,
falls, constipation, anxiety, agitation, confusion, and fatigue.
Findings:
The potential side effects related to anti-depressant medication use for which the facility monitored for
residents receiving anti-depressants included: Nausea, headache, diarrhea/constipation,
insomnia/somnolence, dizziness, nervousness, agitation, blurred vision, sedation, fatigue, confusion, and
fatigue.
1. Resident 5 was an elderly resident admitted to the facility with diagnoses including psychotic disorder
(condition characterized by an impaired relationship with reality, often including confusion, hallucinations,
and delusions), major depressive disorder (MDD, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest), vascular dementia (general term describing problems with reasoning,
planning, judgment, memory and other thought processes caused by brain damage from impaired blood
flow to the brain), and history of falling and fracture of the thighbone.
A review of Resident 5's medical record indicated Resident 5 had been receiving:
- Lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) twice daily related to anxiety disorder as
evidenced by (aeb) #1 yelling out repetitive words, ex 'mar, mar', yelling out numbers and #2 constant
restlessness, dated 4/3/2020;
- Trazodone (an anti-depressant) 25 mg daily at bedtime related to insomnia since 8/30/2018.
The medical record also indicated the resident had been on a high dose olanzapine (Zyprexa) 10 mg in the
morning and 7.5 mg at bedtime (total 17.5 mg) for OTHER PSYCHOTIC DISORDER since 4/20/22.
