**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure the completed MDS (Minimum Data Set - a federally
mandated health status screening and assessment tool used for all residents of long-term care health
facilities) discharge assessments for two of two sampled residents (Residents 11 and 33) were submitted in
a timely manner.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in resident data inaccuracies which could affect the facility's
improvement efforts to provide high quality care to its residents.
Findings:
During a review of the Long-Term Care Survey Process (LTCSP - a computer application that supports the
survey process for long-term care facilities) final sampling process, the non-mandatory facility task,
Resident Assessment, was triggered. Residents 11 and 33 were triggered under this task for investigation
of MDS records over 120 days old.
During a review of Resident 11's Electronic Health Record (EHR), the admission Record (AR), dated
1/11/24, indicate in part, Resident 11 was an [AGE] year-old female resident who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses including, non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (brain
bleed), hypertension (high blood pressure), and cerebral edema (swelling of the brain). The AR further
indicated, Resident 11 was discharged to an acute care hospital on 9/4/23. Review of Resident 11's EHR
under MDS Summary, indicated no discharge assessment was initiated.
During a review of Resident 33's, EHR the AR dated 1/11/24, indicated in part, Resident 33 was an [AGE]
year-old male resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses including, liver
cell carcinoma (liver cancer), hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (a chronic
condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar). The AR indicated, Resident 33 was
discharged on 9/4/23. Review of Resident 33's EHR under MDS Summary, indicated no discharge
assessment was initiated.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Residents 11 and 33's, EHR under MDS Summary, on
1/11/24 at 10:24 a.m. with Assistant MDS Coordinator (AMDS), Residents 11 and 33's, EHR under MDS
Summary, were reviewed. AMDS verified the discharge date s and confirmed that no MDS discharge
assessments were initiated for both residents. AMDS verbalized the facility is required to complete the
resident's discharge assessment from the date of the resident's discharge from the facility up to 14 days
and also to electronically submit the discharge assessment from the date the assessment was completed
up to 14 days. AMDS acknowledged the discharge assessments for Residents 11 and 33 should have

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:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Develop a person-centered interdisciplinary team nutrition care plan (IDTNCP - detailed plans of care
created by representatives from several medical disciplines or specialties) for one of 16 sampled residents
(Resident 37) to include the resident's goals and desired outcomes. In addition, the IDTNCP lacked clear
and specific measurable objectives and physician input, related to a planned weight gain for Resident 37.
This failure resulted in unclear measurable weight gain goal and impedes the IDT from effectively
monitoring, evaluating and revising the care plan, as appropriate, to ensure care needs would not go
unrecognized and unmet.
2. Develop a care plan for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 35) receiving blood thinners.
This failure had the potential to result in medication adverse consequences to not be monitored.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11 a.m. with Registered Dietitian (RD),
Resident 37's admission Nutrition Assessment (NA), dated 12/4/23, was reviewed. The NA indicated,
Resident 37's admit weight was 98 pounds (lbs) and his usual body weight (UBW) was 108 lbs. RD stated
she assessed Resident 37's nutritional needs at 30-35 calories per kg (kilogram) to promote weight gain
because his BMI was low and because he had already lost weight from a previous admission to the facility.
RD stated she wanted Resident 37 to gain weight. The NA also contained a check mark next to maintain
weight. RD stated in her mind when she marked a goal of maintain weight it meant that weight loss was not
the goal, and the goal was at a minimum to maintain weight with the desire for weight gain. RD stated she
did not specifically document what the weight goal was but in my mind I would want him to re-gain weight to
his UBW (usual body weight) of 108 lbs. RD verified the weight goal was not clearly documented in the NA.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:30 a.m., with RD, RD stated she had not
discussed that she assessed Resident 37's daily nutritional needs to promote weight gain with the resident
or what his weight gain goal would be to ensure resident centered care.
During a review of Resident 37's Weight Variance Progress Notes (WV), dated 1/10/24, the WV indicated,
Resident 37 currently weighed 112 lbs, and the recommendation/plan was Continue POC (plan of care) diet, fluids, nutritional supplements, monitoring po intake, wts [weights], and all other nutritional parameters.
Dc [discontinue] from weekly weight monitoring.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:35 a.m. with RD, Resident 37's IDT

.Maintain weight +/-5% q [every] month x 3 months .Target Date: 03/03/2024 . RD stated, the goal
indicated, Maintain weight +/-5% q month x 3 months. RD stated, the goal was not for weight loss, so the
-5% of weight as part of the goal would not be applicable and was not accurate. RD verified the goal in her
mind was for the resident to gain weight to UBW of 108 lbs. RD verified without a measurable goal the IDT
would not know when the rate of weight gain or amount of weight gain might be of concern. RD verified
without a specific measurable goal weight listed, the IDT would not be able to effectively monitor the POC,
nor know when to revise when appropriate.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:38 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 37's IDT nutrition care plan (IDTNCP), initiated by RD on 12/06/23, was reviewed. DON stated,
the documented goal was, Maintain weight +/-5% q month x 3 months. DON verified the goal was not for
the resident to lose weight, therefore the care plan goal was not accurate when it included -5% as being
part of the goal. DON stated the goal is for weight maintenance or +5% weight gain. DON verified the IDT
nutrition care plan had not contained clear, measurable goals when DON was unable to answer what the
maintenance weight was, and was not aware RD assessment was for a planned weight gain, and was
unable to state how much weight gain was planned, based on the IDT nutrition care plan, since the
measurable goal was not clear. In addition, DON confirmed the expectation was for the IDT care plans to be
developed with the participation of the physician, and with the resident's goals for outcomes which would
include a planned weight gain.
2. During a review of Resident 35's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/9/23, the H&P indicated Resident
35 was admitted on [DATE] with a history of atrial fibrillation (when the heart beats irregularly which can
produce blood clots leading to stroke or heart related death) and taking Eliquis (a blood thinning medication
that controls blood clots).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/9/24 at 2:57 p.m. with Resident 35, in the room,
Resident 35 was observed sitting up in wheelchair and stated, I have heart disease and take Eliquis.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/11/23 at 3:35 p.m. with a licensed nurse (LN 3),
Resident 35's clinical record was reviewed. LN 3 verified Resident 35 was taking Eliquis but unable to find
documentation of a nursing care plan for monitoring.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/12/23 at 8:27 a.m. with the DON, Resident 35's
clinical record was reviewed. Resident 35's, Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 11/8/23, indicated in
part, . Eliquis tablet, give10 milligrams (mg), by mouth, twice a day for seven days ending 11/15/23 .and
Eliquis tablet, give 5 mg, twice a day . Resident 35's, Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated
12/1/23 - 1/11/24, was also reviewed and indicated the same Eliquis order. The DON stated the Eliquis
order was current. When asked if a care plan was developed in conjuction with Resident 35 taking Eliquis,
DON was unable to find a documented care plan and acknowledged one should have been developed as it
was the facility's policy.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,Care Planning And Care Plans, dated
April 2013, the P&P indicated, Purpose: To ensure that this facility is in compliance with the regulations by

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain and provide a prescribed, routine
antihypertensive medication (a medication used to lower blood pressure) ordered for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 40).
This failure had the potential to result in uncontrolled blood pressure levels and subsequent complications
for Resident 40.
Findings:
During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 9:18 a.m. with a licensed nurse (LN 4), Resident 40's
Losartan Potassium (a medication to treat high blood pressure) scheduled to be administered for 9 a.m.
was not available in the medication cart.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:11 a.m. with LN 4, LN 4 stated, This
resident (referring to Resident 40) just transitioned from short-term to long-term care ( short stay to long
stay in the facility). The pharmacy does not auto refill ( automatic dispensing) medications for short term
residents, only for long term. LN 4 verbalized the medication was reordered on paper and showed the
facility form titled, Medication Reorder Sheet, dated 1/8/24, was faxed to the pharmacy. LN 4 could not
confirm if the faxed reorder form was received by the Pharmacy (1/10/24 the medication is not available in
the facility to administered). LN 4 confirmed all resident medications prescribed to be given in the facility
should be available at all times.
During a review of Resident 40's, Electronic Health Record (EHR), the Medical Diagnosis section dated
12/14/23 indicated, Resident 40 was a [AGE] year-old female with admitting diagnoses including, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of diseases that causes airflow blockage and
breathing-related problems), chronic atrial fibrillation (quivering of the heart), and essential hypertension
(HTN - high blood pressure). Further review of Resident 40's EHR, under Medication Review Report, the

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP)
identified and reported irregularities during the medication regimen review (MRR) when
nonpharmacological interventions (NPI) were not implemented for the behaviors exhibited for depression
and psychosis for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 34)
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 34 receiving unnecessary medications.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 34's, Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 1/1-1/31/24, the MAR
indicated the following medication orders: Seroquel Oral Tablet (Quetiapine Fumarate), give 37.5 mg
(milligram) by mouth one time a day for psychosis, manifested by aggressive behavior at 4 p.m. (start date:
12/9/23), Seroquel Oral Tablet (Quetiapine Fumarate) Give 12.5 mg by mouth one time a day for psychosis,
manifested by aggressive behavior at 9 am (start date: 1/4/24), and Fluoxetine HCl (Prozac) capsule 20
mg, give one capsule by mouth one time a day for depression with anxiety manifested by demonstrating
restlessness as evidenced by picking at own skin (start date: 1/4/24). No documentation of the NPI
monitoring for psychotic behaviors and picking of skin was noted or located in Resident 34's MAR.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 01/12/24 9:26 a.m., with the director of nursing (DON)
and nurse supervisor (NS), confirmed NPI's were not documented as implemented in the MAR for Resident
34 and should have been.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/12/24, at 9:51 a.m., with the facility's consultant
pharmacist (CP) and Manager of Clinical Operations (MCO), in the presence of the DON and NS, Resident
34's psychotropic medication profile was reviewed. The CP confirmed that implementation of NPI's were not
reviewed with Resident 34's monthly medication review and acknowledged failing to identify that NPI's were
not being implemented while Resident 34 was on psychotropic medication.
Review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Monitoring 8.1 Medication Regimen
Review and Reporting, dated 01/23, the P&P indicated: Policy: Medication Regimen Review (MRR) or Drug
Regimen Review is a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of
promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with
medication. The MRR includes review of the medical record in order to prevent, identify, report, and resolve
medication-related problems, medication errors, or other irregularities. The MRR also involves collaborating
with other members of the IDT, including the resident, their family, and/or resident representative.
Procedures: 2. The consultant pharmacist reviews the medication regimen and medical chart of each
resident at least monthly to appropriately monitor the medication and ensure that the medications each
resident receives are clinically indicated. Identification of irregularities may occur by the consultant
pharmacist utilizing a variety of sources including medication administration records (MAR), prescriber's
orders, progress notes, nurse's notes, the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), Minimum Data Set
(MDS), laboratory and diagnostic test results, behavior monitoring information and information from the
nursing care center staff and other health professional involved in the resident's care.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure its medication error rate
during medication pass observation was less than five percent (5%). The facility had a cumulative
medication error rate of 10.34% when three errors out of 29 opportunities for errors were observed
between two licensed nurses (LN 2 and LN 4) who administered medication to two sampled residents
(Residents 25 & 40) and one unsampled resident (Resident 547). The observed medication administration
errors were:
Residents Affected - Few
1. LN 4 administered one capsule of Urox (a medication that supports bladder control) by mouth to
Resident 25 instead of the prescribed order of two capsules.
2. LN 2 failed to administer the full dose of Clearlax (a laxative to treat occasional constipation) mixed in
apple juice to Resident 547 when half of the mixture was thrown away.
3. LN 4 administered one puff of Tiotropium Bromide Monnohydrate (Spiriva - an inhaled medication that
relaxes and opens the air passages of the lungs) to Resident 40 instead of the prescribed two puffs.
These failures had the potential to compromise the health and safety of these residents.
Findings:
1. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 8:30 a.m., with LN 4, LN 4 was observed
administering one capsule of Urox 840 mg (milligram) by mouth to Resident 25.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/10/24, at 11:35 a.m., with LN 4, Resident 25's,
Medication Review Report (MRR), dated 1/10/24, was reviewed. The MRR indicated the medication order,
Urox (Lindera) 840 mg give two capsules by mouth in AM one time a day for OAB (overactive bladder)
(start date of 9/2/23). LN 4 confirmed giving only one capsule to Resident 25 instead of two and
acknowledged not following the order.
2. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 8:58 a.m. with LN 2, LN 2 was observed mixing
Clearlax 17 gm (gram) with four oz. (ounces) of apple juice in a five oz. cup to administer to Resident 547.
Resident 547 was observed to have drank only half of the mixture and the remainder thrown away by LN 2.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 12 p.m., with LN 2, Resident 547's,
Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 1/1-1/31/24, was reviewed. Resident 547's MAR indicated
the medication order, Miralax (different brand name for Polyethylene Glycol, same as Clearlax) Powder 17
gm by mouth in the morning for constipation .Dissolve in 4 oz. of water/juice, hold for loose stools (start
date: 11/28/23). LN 2 confirmed that Resident 547 took about 50% of the mixture and did not document it in
the chart. LN 2 acknowledged that she should have documented that the resident did not receive the full
dose.
3. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 9:18 a.m. with LN 4, LN 4 was observed
administering Tiotropium Bromide inhaler to Resident 40. The resident only received one puff of the inhaled
medication.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe food handling when
puree chicken, a TCS food (Time-Temperature Control for Safety - food that requires time-temperature
control to prevent the growth of bacteria), was not accurately cooled down.
As a result, the residents who were scheduled to be served the planned alternate entrée of puree
chicken, in lieu of the main entrée of puree fish, were placed at an increased risk for developing a
foodborne illness.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/09/24 at 11:15 a.m. with Dietary Manager (DM), in the
walk-in refrigerator in the kitchen, a small steam table pan of puree chicken was covered and dated 1/9/24.
DM stated the puree chicken was the planned alternate for that night's dinner for the resident's on a puree
diet who disliked the main entrée of puree fish.
During an interview on 01/09/24 at 11:16 a.m. with Cook, [NAME] stated at 6:30 a.m. that morning he
cooked chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (Fahrenheit). [NAME] stated he then pureed
the chicken and placed the puree chicken in a holding pan that was on ice to cool down. [NAME] stated two
hours later he checked the temperature of the puree chicken and it was 69 degrees F at 9:30 a.m. [NAME]
was asked if there was a cooling log and cook pointed to a log posted on the wall in the kitchen titled,
Cooling/Chilling Temperature Log. There were no documented entries on the cooling log for 1/9/24. [NAME]
stated he had not yet documented any cool down temperatures for the puree chicken on the log. [NAME]
was asked if there were any further steps he needed to do for the puree chicken. [NAME] stated he was
done until dinner time when he would then re-heat the puree chicken to 165 degrees F to place into the
steam table for dinner meal service.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/09/24 at 11:20 a.m. with DM, DM removed the pan of
puree chicken from the walk-in refrigerator and placed it on a counter in the kitchen. DM inserted a digital
thermometer in the middle of the puree chicken, and DM stated, It's 59 degrees F. DM verified the
thermometer obtained from the cook was calibrated that morning. DM pointed to the Thermometer
Calibration Log posted on the wall that was completed that morning by the cook.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 01/09/24 at 11:34 a.m. with Cook, in the presence of DM,
[NAME] stated he cooked the chicken to 165 degrees F this morning. He pureed the chicken and placed
the pan of puree chicken on ice and checked the temperature two hours later and it was 69 degrees F.
[NAME] then stated after the 2 hour temperature check of 69 degrees F, he checked the temperature of the
puree chicken again three hours later around 11:30 a.m and it was 39 degrees F. The pan of puree chicken
was currently located on the counter, and DM stated the temperature was just checked and it was 59
degrees F. [NAME] was asked if he was able to explain how the temperature reached 39 degrees F at
11:30 a.m., when it was removed from the refrigerator and it was only 59 degrees F currently. [NAME] did
not have an answer, and [NAME] stated, Anyway we are going to throw it out. A copy of the Cooling/Chilling
Temperature Log was requested.
During a review of the facility's Cooling/Chilling Temperature Log (CL) that was provided, dated 01/09/24,
the CL indicated, Puree, 6:00 [am] 165 degrees F, 8:00 am 69 degrees F, 9:30 am 39 degrees F, initialed as
completed by the cook. That was the only logged entry for 1/9/24 on the CL.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure documentation of
non-pharmacological interventions (NPI - any intervention intended to improve the health or the well-being
of individuals that do not involve the use of drugs or medicine) for the use of psychotropic medications
(medications used for mood and behavior modification) in one of three sampled residents (Resident 34)
was in place. Resident 34 was placed on Prozac (medication to treat depression) and Seroquel (medication
to regulate mood, behaviors and thoughts) with no documented NPIs.
This failure had the potential to result in incomplete data used as basis for possible continued or
discontinued use of psychotropic medication usage on Resident 34 and other residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/11/24 at 8:30 a.m. with certified nursing assistant (CNA
1), in the facility dining room, Resident 34 was observed eating breakfast. CNA 1 reported Resident 34 eats
very well and independently, sometimes able to answer simple questions but other times not able to and
usually ate meals in the dining room. CNA 1 verbalized observing Resident 34 exhibiting behaviors such as
waving hands or acting like trying to hit someone and other times does not respond to conversations and
seemed like not there.
During an interview, on 1/11/24 at 8:21 a.m. with licensed nurse (LN 1), LN 1 stated a consent had to be
obtained from the resident or responsible party (RP - family member/significant other) prior to starting the
resident on psychotropic medication. A new consent is obtained when there an increase in the medication
dose. LN 1 added that medication adverse effects to the resident where checked and if needed, staff would
try NPIs. When asked what NPI's were implemented, LN 1 stated it was all about the approach to the
residents, making them feel they are part of their care. When asked if these NPI's were documented in
Resident 34's chart, LN 1 stated they were not.
During a review of Resident 34's, Electronic Health Record (EHR), the EHR indicated in part, Resident 34
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses including dementia (a group of symptoms
affecting memory, thinking and social abilities) with behavioral disturbance, psychosis (a condition of the
mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real), and major depressive disorder
(a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).
During a review of Resident 34's, Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated health status screening
and assessment tool used for all residents of long-term care health facilities) Summary, with assessment
reference date (ARD) of 11/3/23, indicated in part, Section E: Mood and Behavior Patterns . no
hallucination, no delusion, no behaviors exhibited.
During a review of Resident 34's, Care Plans (CP), dated 11/10/23, a CP focusing on Resident 34's,
Antidepressant use, indicated interventions including, Monitor medication adverse effects . Use of
protective sleeves to protect against skin picking. Another CP focusing on Resident 34's, Antipsychotic
