What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. 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 ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), who had a history of fall, received care and supervision in accordance with the resident's individualized plan of care. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1's fall on 1/19/2024, and a right-hand fracture. Residents Affected - Few Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/17/2024, with diagnoses including history of falling, and muscle weakness. A review of Resident 1's physician History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/18/2024, indicated the resident could make needs known but could not make medical decisions. A review of Resident 1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 had intermittent (comes and goes) confusion or poor safety awareness, had 1-2 falls in the past three months, was ambulatory and incontinent. The fall risk assessment indicated Resident 1 had a total score of 18, as a score of 10 or greater indicated the resident was considered a high risk for potential falls. A review of Resident 1's Care Plan for Risk for Falls dated 1/18/2024, indicated Resident 1 was at risk for falls and injuries related to impaired vision, impaired cognition, poor body balance/control, history of falls, and use of psychotropic (medication that affect the mind, emotions, and behavior ), and antihypertensive medications (medicines that bring your blood pressure down). The care plan goal indicated the resident would be free from injury due to fall for the next three months. The interventions indicated to visibly observe resident frequently, monitor resident's medication for possible use, provide resident with a safe and clutter-free environment, keep frequently used personal items within easy reach, and keep the call light within easy reach. A review of Resident 1's Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR) Communication Form dated 1/19/2024 at 3:50 AM, indicated Resident 1 was found on the floor, was confused, agitated, and hearing voices thinking people were talking about her. A review of Resident 1's SBAR Communication Form dated 1/19/2024 at 3:13 PM, indicated the facility received Resident 1's X-ray (digital image) results for right hand, right fingers, and right arm. A review of Resident 1's Radiology Report dated 1/19/2024, indicated Resident 1 had a nondisplaced fracture (broken bones, but the pieces were not moved far enough during the break) at the right proximal metaphysis of the second metacarpal (the bone that connects the wrist to the index finger-hand).

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 2/2/2024 at 9:26 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated, Resident 1 was confused and non-compliant (not following the rules). She would ask where she was, and I would tell her that she was inside a facility. When I would try to change her, she would scream and not let me change her. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 was not able to walk. CNA 1 stated, I provided frequent visual monitoring to Resident 1 and I reported to my charge nurse. I did not document my visual observations in the resident's medical chart. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/2/2024 at 2:40 PM, with the facility ' s Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. The ADON stated Resident 1 was non-compliant with her care, had previous history of fall and episodes of hallucination (a sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch that a person believes to be real but is not real ) and she refused to be transferred to hospital for evaluation after she fell on 1/19/2024. The ADON stated Resident 1 was trying to get out of bed. She was on psychotropic medication which could affect her decision making. The ADON stated he initiated a person-centered care plan for Resident 1's high risk for fall on 1/18/2024. The ADON stated one of the care plan interventions was to visibly observe the resident frequently. The ADON stated, Frequently means that the CNA assigned to the resident is required to watch the resident frequently, every hour. Staff were providing the frequent monitoring for Resident 1 but there is no specific chart regarding their hourly monitoring inside Resident 1's chart. Licensed nurses document resident's frequent visual monitoring in the nursing note section. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/2/2024 at 1:20 PM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 1's fall care plan and nursing notes were reviewed. LVN 2 stated one of the care plan interventions for Resident 1 was to visibly observe the resident frequently. LVN 2 stated, This means we go to the resident's room at least every hour or every two hours to check on the resident. LVN 2 stated, We do not document the exact time and frequency that we perform this monitoring. We just document in the nursing notes that we perform the frequent visual checks. LVN2 stated there was no nursing progress note in Resident 1's medical records for 1/18/2024, during the 7AM-3PM shift. LVN 2 stated documenting frequent visual check in the nursing note without frequency and time was not an effective way to implement Resident 1's care plan intervention. LVN 2 stated the potential outcome was recurrent falls. During a telephone interview on 2/5/2024 at 8:05 AM with LVN 1 who was assigned to Resident 1 on 1/18/2024, during the 11PM-7AM shift, LVN 1 stated Resident 1 was confused and unable to walk. LVN 1 stated, On 1/19/2024, at around 3 AM, I made my rounds, and I went to Resident 1's room. Resident 1 thought there was someone outside the facility, so I went to the window, and I checked. I showed her that no one was there, and I even opened the curtains for her to look outside. I got her situated and I walked out. Within a minute or two of going to the nurse ' s station, I heard noises coming from Resident 1's room. When I got to Resident 1's room, she was on the floor. LVN 1 stated that Resident 1 stated she got up to use the restroom. LVN 1 stated, Resident 1 was a new admission; we did not know her behavior. We were monitoring her frequently. I was monitoring her pretty much every hour. I did not document each time that I checked in on Resident 1 in her chart. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plans-Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised March 2022, indicated a person-centered care plan includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident ' s physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. Care plan interventions are chosen only after data gathering, proper sequencing of events, careful consideration of the relationship between the resident ' s problem areas and their causes, and relevant clinical decision making.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Fall Risk Assessment, revised 12/2022, indicated the nursing staff, in conjunction with the attending physician, consultant pharmacist, therapy staff, and others, will seek to identify and document resident risk factors for falls and establish a resident-centered fall prevention plan based on relevant assessment information. The staff will seek to identify environmental factors that may contribute to falling such as lighting and room layout.
