Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition
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 the significant change in status assessment (SCSA
- a comprehensive assessment that must be completed when the interdisciplinary team [IDT - a group of
healthcare professionals and staff from different areas who work together to create the best possible care
plan for a resident] has determined that a resident meets the significant change guidelines for either major
improvement or decline) Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive assessment and screening tool) was
completed within the required time frame for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient
practice had the potential to negatively affect the provision of necessary care and services.Findings:During
a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility admitted the
resident originally on 5/28/2025 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including traumatic subarachnoid
hemorrhage (SAH - bleeding in the space between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain) with loss
of consciousness, G-tube, mood disorder (a mental health condition characterized by persistent changes in
mood that significantly interfere with daily functioning), and neuromuscular (of or relating to nerves and
muscles) dysfunction of bladder. During a review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated
that Resident 1's cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding
through thought, experience, and senses) was severely impaired. The MDS was coded as a quarterly
review assessment (non-comprehensive assessment that must be completed at least every 92 days that is
used to track a resident's status between comprehensive assessments). During a review of Resident 1's
MDS history, the MDS history indicated the following MDS assessments: admission assessment dated
[DATE] Quarterly assessment dated [DATE] During a review of Resident 1's Weight Summary from
6/3/2025-9/3/2025, the Weight Summary indicated the following weights which were obtained using a
mechanical lift (a device used to safely move or transfer a resident who has limited mobility): On 6/3/2025,
194 pounds (lbs.-unit of weight) On 6/24/2025, 166 lbs. (weight loss of 28 lbs. in 21 days, 14.4 percent [%]).
On 6/30/2025, 150 lbs. (weight loss of 16 lbs. in six [6] days, and weight loss of 44 lbs. in 27 days, 22.7 %).
On 9/3/2025, 137 lbs. (weight loss of 13 lbs. in 65 days, and weight loss of 57 lbs. in 92 days, 29.4 %).
During a review of Resident 1's Skin and Wound Evaluation (SWE), the SWE indicated the following wound
conditions and their progress: On 6/13/2025, unstageable pressure ulcer (PU - localized damage to the skin
and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) due to slough (dead tissue that is usually yellow,
tan, gray, or green in color, usually moist and stringy in texture, that may be found in wounds) or eschar
(dead tissue that is hard or soft in texture; usually black, brown, or tan in color, and may appear scab-like,
usually firmly attached to the base, sides and/or edges of the wound and over time falls off) on sacrococcyx
(the connection between the large triangular bone at the base of the spine and the tailbone), and the size
that indicated, length - 4.0 centimeter (cm - a unit of measurement), width - 2.6 cm, depth - not applicable.
On 9/3/2025, unstageable PU due to slough or eschar on sacrococcyx, and the size

record review on 9/24/2025 at 12:40 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDCS), Resident 1's
Weight Summary and the SWEs were reviewed. When the MDSC was asked when a SCSA MDS should
be completed, the MDSC stated that the SCSA MDS should be completed if there are changes in two or
more MDS areas and the resident's condition is not expected to return to baseline in 14 days. The MDSC
further stated that a SCSA comprehensive assessment should have been done for Resident 1 when
Resident 1 had the significant weight loss, developed a blister that is considered stage II (Partial-thickness
loss of skin, presenting as a shallow open sore or wound) PU on 8/22/2025, and when the sacrococcyx
area had worsened on 9/3/2025, instead of the Quarterly assessment dated [DATE]. The MDSC stated that
when completing a SCSA MDS, each IDT member would reassess the resident and review and or revise
the resident's plan of care. During an interview on 9/26/2025 at 10:45 a.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated that Resident 1's SCSA MDS should have been completed on 9/4/2025 instead of
a quarterly assessment due to the unplanned severe body weight loss and the newly developed PU on the
right feet. The DON stated that the IDT should have reassessed Resident 1 to determine if there was a
need to revise the Resident 1's care plan During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled
Comprehensive Assessments last reviewed on 1/30/2025, the P&P indicated, Comprehensive MDS
assessments are conducted to assist in developing person-centered care plans. Significant Change in
Status Assessment (SCSA) - The SCSA is a comprehensive assessment for a resident that must be
completed when the IDT has determined that a resident meets the significant change guidelines for either
major improvement or decline. It can be performed at any time after the completion of admission
assessment, and its completion date depend on the date that the IDT's determination was made that the
resident had a significant change. A significant change is a major decline or improvement in a resident's
status that: a. will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard
disease related clinical interventions. b. impacts more than one area of the resident's health status; and c.
requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision of the care plan.

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
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: 1. Obtain weekly weights as ordered for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1) 2. Ensure that staff monitored and documented intake (food and fluid
consumption) and output (urine and stool amounts) in accordance with professional standards of practice
and per the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) for one of three sampled resident (Resident 1), who had a
gastrostomy tube (G-tube - a tube surgically inserted through the abdomen directly into the stomach to
provide a way to deliver nutrition and medication when a person cannot eat or drink enough by mouth) and
an indwelling catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder to allow urine to drain freely). This deficient practice
had the potential to result in unrecognized weight changes, nutritional decline, and dehydration (a state
where the body loses more water and fluids than it takes in). During a review of Resident 1's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility originally admitted the resident on 5/28/2025 and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH - bleeding in the
space between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain) with loss of consciousness (the state of being
awake and aware of one's surroundings), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM - a chronic condition where your
body either doesn't produce enough insulin [natural hormone that turns food into energy and manages your
blood sugar level] or doesn't use insulin properly, causing too much sugar to build in the blood, leading to
energy problems and potential organ damage over time) and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (a
condition where damage to the nerves that control the bladder [organ that stores urine] prevents normal
bladder control and function). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident
assessment tool) dated 9/4/2025, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's cognition (the mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) was severely
impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on staff with activities of daily living (ADLsactivities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily) except for rolling left and right in
bed, which Resident 1 required maximal staff assistance. 1. During a review of Resident 1's Physician's
Orders dated 5/28/2025, the Physician's Orders indicated to obtain weekly weight for four (4) weeks. During
a review of Resident 1's Weight Summary from 5/28/2025 to 6/17/2025, the Weight Summary indicated that
Resident 1's weights, obtained using a mechanical lift (a device used to safely move residents who can't
bear their own weight or whose weight makes manual lifting risky for both the resident and facility staff),
were as follows: a. For Week 1 (5/28/2025 to 6/1/2025) - On 5/30/2025, Resident 1 weighs 194 pounds (lbs.
- unit of weight)b. For Week 2 (6/2/2025 to 6/8/2025) - On 6/3/2025, Resident 1 weighs 194 lbs.c. For Week
3 (6/9/2025 to 6/15/2025) - Resident 1 was not weighed, and no weight was documented. d. For Week 4
(6/16/2025 to 6/22/2025) - Resident 1 was transferred to General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) on
6/17/2025 During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/25/2025 at 7:50 a.m., with Restorative
Nursing Assistant 1 (RNA 1 - a specialized certified nurse assistant [CNA] who helps residents regain or
maintain physical function and independence through specific exercises and activities), Resident 1's Weight
Summary from 5/28/2025 to 6/17/2025 was reviewed. RNA 1 stated that she (RNA 1) was unable to find
documented evidence that Resident 1's Weekly Weight for Week 3 (6/9/2025 to 6/15/2025) was obtained.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/25/2025 at 1:35 p.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN
1), Resident 1's Physician's Orders dated 5/28/2025 and Resident 1's Weight Summary from 5/28/2025 to
6/17/2025 were reviewed. RN 1 stated that the weight for the week of 6/9/2025 to 6/15/2025 was missed.
RN 1 stated that obtaining weekly weights was important because Resident 1 has behavioral episodes
involving pulling out the G-tube. RN 1 further stated that weekly weights

should be monitored to assess baseline nutrition and hydration (the process of maintaining adequate water
levels in the body) status and to determine whether weekly weights should continue, particularly if there is
unplanned or undesired weight loss or gain. During a review of the facility's P&P titled Weight Assessment
and Intervention last reviewed on 1/30/2025, the P&P indicated, Resident weights are monitored for
undesirable or unintended weight loss or gain. Residents are weighed upon admission and at intervals
established by the interdisciplinary team (IDT - a group of healthcare professionals and staff from different
areas who work together to create the best possible care plan for a resident) . 2. During a review of
Resident 1's Physician Order Summary Report, the Physician Order Summary Report indicated the
following orders: - Admit to the facility under the service of Primary Care Physician 1 (PCP 1). Order Date:
5/28/2025. - Enteral (providing nutrition and medicine directly into the digestive system via a feeding tube
rather than by mouth) Feeding Order: Provide Glucerna (a brand of specialized nutritional product
specifically used for residents with DM or high blood sugar levels) 1.5 via G-tube for a total of 1500 cubic
centimeters (cc - unit of measure) at rate of 75 cc for 20 hours or until dose met. Order date: 5/28/2025. Foley Catheter (brand name for a type of indwelling catheter, a thin flexible tube inserted into the urethra
[the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body] to drain urine from the bladder) French (Fr- a
unit of measurement for the catheter's external diameter) 16/10 (One Fr is equal to 1/3 of a millimeter [mlunit of measure], so a higher Fr number indicates a wide catheter) care every shift. Order Date: 5/30/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/25/2025 at 10:39 a.m., with Licensed Vocational
Nurse 1 (LVN 1), Resident 1's medical chart was reviewed. There was no documented evidence found that
staff had completed intake and output (I/O) monitoring from 5/28/2025 to 9/18/2025. LVN 1 stated that the
admission nurse did not include I/O monitoring in the admission orders, which resulted in staff not
monitoring or documenting I/O in the Medication Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation
record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident). LVN 1
further stated that per facility's protocol, I/O should be monitored for at least one month following admission
for residents with G-tube and an indwelling catheter, after which the need for continued monitoring is
evaluated but failed to do so for Resident 1. LVN 1 stated that a resident's nutritional status and hydration
needs, including fluid retention or deficits, are assessed by monitoring intake and output for residents with
G-tube. LVN 1 stated that there was no intake and out monitoring performed from the initial admission on
[DATE] until the most recent hospitalization on 9/18/2025. During an interview on 9/25/2025 at 5:19 p.m.,
with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON reviewed Resident 1's from 5/28/2025 to
9/18/2025. The ADON stated that the licensed nurses did not monitor or document Resident 1's intake and
output in the MAR. When the ADON was asked why Resident 1 needed intake and output monitoring, the
ADON stated that it is necessary to assess the resident's nutritional status, fluid balance and hydration
status. During an interview on 9/26/2025 at 10:17 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
that admitting nurses should include monitoring intake and output for residents with G-tube feeding and/or
indwelling catheter in the Physician's Orders upon admission and readmission to the facility. The DON
further stated that Resident 1's intake and output should have been monitored beginning at admission and
during the first four weeks following admission or readmission to assess the resident's nutritional and
hydration status after hospitalization. The DON stated that if the Physician's Order for intake and output
monitoring was missed by the admitting nurses, clinical staff reviewing the resident's clinical records for a
new admission or re-admission should identify the omission. The DON further stated that monitoring intake
and output is especially important for residents, like Resident 1, who have episodes of

Residents admitted with a urinary catheter, or existing resident with a newly inserted urinary catheter, will
be placed on I&O for 30 days with an evaluation included in the weekly nursing progress notes. I&O
monitoring will be implemented by the facility when needed to evaluate resident's I&O status and will be
discontinued when resident's status is consistent with their overall treatment plan, or as discontinued per

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 follow the physician's orders dated 8/26/2025 to obtain
laboratory services (any examination of materials derived from the human body for purposes of providing
information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment
of the health of human beings) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice had
the potential to negatively affect the provision of necessary care and services to meet Resident 1's
needs.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the
facility admitted the resident originally on 5/28/2025 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH - bleeding in the space between the brain and the tissues that
cover the brain) with loss of consciousness, gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a feeding tube that is surgically
placed through a small opening in the abdomen through the stomach to allow feedings to be administered
directly to the stomach), and neuromuscular (of or relating to nerves and muscles) dysfunction (abnormal)
of bladder. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive assessment and
screening tool) dated 9/4/2025, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's cognition (the mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) was severely
impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 1 was dependent on staff with activities of daily living (ADLsactivities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily) except for rolling left and right in
bed which the Resident 1 required maximal assistance from staff. During a review of Resident 1's physician
order summary report, the order summary report indicated an order dated 8/26/2025 that the following
laboratory (lab) tests were to be done: Complete Blood Count (CBC - an all-purpose blood test; combining
diagnostic evaluations of red blood cell count, white cell count, erythrocyte indices, hematocrit, and a
differential blood count), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP - a blood test that measures several
substances in the body to assess overall metabolic health and organ function), and Magnesium (a type of
electrolytes, help control the amount of fluid and the balance of acids). During a concurrent interview and
record review on 9/25/2025 at 12:16 p.m. with LVN 3, Resident 1's physician's orders and Lab & Radiology
binder were reviewed. LVN 3 stated that the physician's order dated 8/26/2025 to perform CBC, CMP, and
magnesium lab tests were not done on 8/26/2025. LVN 3 stated that the order requisition slip (a form used
by healthcare staff to request specific tests, procedures, or services) for the lab tests scheduled on
8/26/2025 was folded, which meant that the phlebotomist (a trained healthcare professional who draws
blood from people for medical tests) did not take Resident 1's blood samples on 8/26/2025. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 9/25/2025 at 2:05 p.m. with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), Resident
1's physician's orders were reviewed. RN 1 stated that the physician's order dated 8/26/2025 to perform
CBC, CMP, and magnesium lab tests were not done and that the physician was not informed of the missed
lab tests. RN 1 further stated that it was important to follow the physician's order to obtain laboratory
services because the lab test results would provide information about the Resident 1's nutritional and
hydration status. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Lab and Diagnostic Test
Results - Clinical Protocol last reviewed on 1/30/2025, the P&P indicated, The physician will identify, and
order diagnostic and lab testing based on the resident's diagnostic and monitoring needs. The staff will
process test requisitions and arrange it for tests.
