What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medial record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide an environment free from the physical restraint (physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's body) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2). Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to obtain the orders to place a soft mitten on Resident 2's left hand. * The facility failed to ensure the appropriate assessment was completed prior to placing a soft mitten restraint on Resident 2. * The facility failed obtain the consent for the application of the soft mitten restraint for Resident 2. * The facility failed to monitor Resident 2 for the use of restraints. * The facility failed to ensure the comprehensive plan of care for Resident 2 was revised to reflect the current resident assessment for restraints. These failures had the potential to negatively affect Resident 2's physical mobility and psychosocial well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Physical Restraint Application revised 10/2010 showed the following: 1. Verify physicians' order for the use of restraints. 2. Review the resident's care plan to assess for any special needs of the resident. 4. Check on the resident every 30 min 5. Remove the restraint every two hours for at least 10 minutes and change the resident's position. Exercise the resident. 6. The following information should be recorded in the resident's medical records: (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Review of Resident 2's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed under Section C, Resident 2's cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired and the resident did not use physical restraints in bed, chair and/or out of bed. Section GG showed Resident 2's functional abilities for the upper and lower extremities were impaired on both sides. Review of Resident 2's H&P examination dated 3/13/25, showed the resident was not competent and not able to enter a contract, including admission agreement. On 3/19/25 at 1346 hours, during an observation, Resident 2 was lying in his bed with a soft mitten on his left hand with the ties wrapped around his left wrist. On 3/20/25 at 1040 hours, during an observation, Resident 2 was lying in bed wearing a soft mitten restraint on his left hand with the ties wrapped around his left wrist. Review of Resident 2's medical record failed to show the following: - There was no physician's order for the use of restraint. - There were no physical assessments conducted for the resident's restraint. - There was no informed consent for the restraint. - There was no monitoring of the resident for the use of the restraint. - There was no care plan to address and implement restraints. On 3/20/25 at 1705 hours, an interview was conducted with the DSD. When asked what was considered a restraint, the DSD stated any device used when the residents were unable to move by themselves such as side rails and mittens. On 3/20/25 at 1707 hours, a concurrent observation, interview, and medical record review was conducted with the DSD. The DSD verified Resident 2 was wearing a soft mitten restraint on his left hand. Review of Resident 2's medical record was conducted with the DSD. The DSD verified there was no physician's order, no assessments, no informed consent, no monitoring, and no care plan for the use of the restraint. The DSD stated the care plan should reflect mittens to make sure it was not too tight and check for the skin integrity by removing the restraints. When asked if the mitten was considered a restraint, the DSD stated yes, if not, there should be an order for that. On 3/27/25 at 1710 hours, the Administrator and RN 3 acknowledged the above findings.

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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to maintain the highest practicable well-being for two of three sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2). Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to assess the resident for the use of supplemental oxygen and failed to obtain a physician's order for Resident 1's use of the oxygen as per the facility's P&P. * The facility failed to follow up with the pharmacy services for Resident 1's delivery of the breathing treatment medications. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 2's humidifier was labeled, dated, and changed when it was empty. These failures had the potential to negatively affect the resident's well-being as the necessary care and services were not provided. Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Oxygen Administration revised 10/2010 showed the following: 1. Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure. 2. Before administering oxygen, and while the resident is receiving oxygen therapy, assess for the following: signs of symptoms of cyanosis (blue tone to the skin and mucous membranes), hypoxia (rapid breathing, rapid pulse rate, restlessness, confusion), oxygen toxicity (tracheal irritation, difficulty breathing, or slow, shallow rate of breathing), and vital signs. 3. After completing the oxygen set up or adjustment, the following information should be recorded in the resident's medical record: a. the date and time procedure was performed; b. name and title of the individual who performed the procedure; c. the rate of oxygen flow, route, and rationale; d. the frequency and duration of the treatment; e. the reason for the PRN administration; Review of the facility's P&P titled Changes in a Resident's Condition or Status revised 2/2021 showed the nurse will record in the resident's medical record information relative to the changes in the resident's medical/mental condition or status. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 3/19/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and transferred to the acute care facility on 12/4/24.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few including acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (condition where the lungs are failing to provide enough oxygen to the blood), COPD with acute exacerbation and pneumonia (infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi). Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 12/4/24, for oxygen at 3 liters per min via nasal cannula continuously for COPD every shift. Review of Resident 1's eINTERACT Change in Condition V5 Form dated 12/4/25, showed Resident 1 had a change in condition starting on 12/4/24, in the afternoon. The form showed the following vital signs: - On 12/3/24 at 2351 hours, the respiration rate was 19 respirations per minute. - On 12/3/24 at 2351 hours, the temperature was 97.8 Fahrenheit degrees. - On 12/3/24 at 2351 hours, the oxygen saturation level was 96%. - On 12/4/24 at 1023 hours, the blood pressure was 138/68 mmHg. Further review of Resident 1's eINTERACT Change of Condition V5 Form dated 12/4/24, showed the resident had abnormal lung sounds with shortness of breath and dropped in the oxygen saturation when the oxygen was lowered to below 15 liters per minute via non re-breather mask. The form further showed the resident with cracklesin bilateral lung fields. Further Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report did not show a physician's order to administer the 10-15 liters per minute of oxygen via non re-breather mask prior to the change of condition. Review of Resident 1's closed medical record failed to show the resident was monitored for the use of receiving supplemental oxygen per the facility's P&P prior to the resident's change in condition. On 3/21/25 at 1230 hours, an interview and concurrent closed medical record review was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 began to have breathing issues after breakfast on 12/4/24. When asked if a physician's order was needed when administering the oxygen at 10-15 liters per minute, LVN 1 stated normally yes, along with a change of condition. LVN 1 stated the physician was notified of the resident's change in condition on 12/4/24 at 1400 hours, and not prior. LVN 1 stated when Resident 1's oxygen saturation levels fell below 88%, LVN 1 was not sure why Resident 1 needed 10-15 liters per minute of oxygen. LVN 1 verified Resident 1 did not have the physician's orders for the oxygen to be administered at 10-15 liters per minute. LVN 1 verified there was no documented evidence the resident's oxygen saturation levels were monitored before the change in condition. 2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Pharmacy Services Overview revised 4/2019 showed the nursing staff communicate prescriber orders to the pharmacy and are responsible for contacting the pharmacy if a resident's medication is not available for administration. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 3/19/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and transferred to the acute care facility on 12/4/24.
