F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to treat residents with respect and dignity and maintain privacy for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 1's self-worth and psychosocial wellbeing. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses including but not limited to type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disease that occurs when there is a problem in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as fuel), end stage renal disease (advanced stage kidney failure) and hypertension (high blood pressure). During a record review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and tool), dated 4/15/2025, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) for toileting and shower/bathing self. The MDS also indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for rolling left and right, sitting to lying, and lying to sitting on side of bed. During a record review of Resident 1's care plan, the care plan indicated Resident 1 stated male resident went into her room and touched her gown and leg. The care plan interventions for staff were to monitor resident for mood regarding male going into her room, keep resident safe and assign Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) for 1:1 close monitoring. During a record review of Resident 1's SBAR (an acronym for Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation is a technique used to provide a framework for communication between members of the health care team), dated 5/10/2025, the SBAR indicated Resident 1 verbalized another resident went into her room and touched her leg and gown. During a record review of Resident 1's Nursing Note, dated 5/10/2025, the record indicated Resident 1 reported to CNA 1 that a male resident was in her room around 7:30 PM. CNA 1 pulled Resident 2 out of room and reported to charge nurse.
