LN 11 stated she was confused as to what was the specific behavior Resident 52 exhibited. LN 11 stated there should be specific behavior the resident manifested to indicate if the resident still needed the medication. On 1/15/25 at 3:40 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. The DON stated the expectation was to indicate the target behavior being monitored for the use of psychotropic medications.

The facility did not have documentation of hospice staff visits, 2. There was no schedule when a resident will be visited by hospice staff, 3. The facility did not have an agreement with the hospice agency. This failure had the potential to put Resident 67 at risk for uncoordinated medical care between the facility and the hospice agency. In addition, Resident 67's ADL need for grooming was not met. Findings: Resident 67 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (a condition where there is not enough oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in the body) according to the facility's admission Record. 1.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee (QAA-facility group that monitors concerning trends in a facility) failed to identify and include in the facility's Quality Assurance Performance Improvement plan (QAPI-plan developed by QAA to help improve conditions in the facility) deficient trends found by surveyors during the recertification survey concerning grooming/hygiene and the management of residents with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD- a mental health condition that's caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event - either being part of it or witnessing it). Residents Affected - Some This failure had the potential for facility to overlook trends in resident care that might have affected residents' health and quality of life. Cross Reference: F677, F699 Findings: On 1/16/25 at 1:32 P.M., a concurrent interview with the Administrator (ADM), the Infection Preventionist (IP) and the Director of Nursing (DON) and a review of QAPI program was conducted. The ADM stated that the main areas that the QAPI team were monitoring were falls, pressure ulcers and infection control monitoring of hand hygiene and PPE usage. During the recertification survey, deficient trends in basic grooming (nailcare and beard care) and the staff's lack of knowledge about caring for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder residents were found. The ADM stated that neither of these trends had been identified by the QAA Committee and/or included in the QAPI plan. On 1/16/25 at 1:40 P.M., an interview with the ADM was conducted. The ADM stated that the expectation was the QAA Committee should have identified the trends that were identified by the surveyors. In addition, the ADM stated the deficient trends should have been included in the QAPI plan. The ADM stated the importance of QAA Committee identifying deficient trends and including them in the QAPI plan was to promote the highest standard of care for their residents. On 1/16/25 at 1:50 P.M., an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON stated that the expectation was that the QAA Committee should have identified the trends identified by surveyors. In addition, the DON stated the deficient trends should have been included in the QAPI plan. The DON stated the importance of QAA Committee identifying trends was to maintain residents' dignity (for grooming/hygiene) and to promote the highest standard of care for their residents with PTSD. Review of facility policy titled Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement dated February 2020 indicated .The objectives of the QAPI Program are to 1. Provide a means to measure current and potential indicators for outcomes of care and quality of life. 2. Provide a means to establish and implement performance improvement projects to correct identified negative or problematic indicators. 3.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure infection control procedures were followed when a Licensed Nurse (LN) 12 did not wear a gown for Resident 55 with enhanced barrier precautions (EBP - involves gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities for residents [example: residents with medical devices]), and perform hand hygiene (the practice of cleaning hands to remove germs, dirt, or other harmful substances) consistently after removing his gloves while passing medication (med/s) during med pass observation. Residents Affected - Few These failures had the potential for cross contamination, spread of infection and Resident 55's decline of health. Findings: A review of Resident 55's admission Record indicated Resident 55 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included Resident 55 had a gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings/ meds to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems). On 1/15/25 at 8 A.M., an observation and an interview were conducted with Licensed Nurse (LN) 12 while preparing medications for Resident 55. There was an EBP sign attached to Resident 55's door. LN 12 stated he will check Resident 55's vital signs. LN 12 checked Resident 55's vital signs without putting a gown. On 1/15/25 at 8:12 A.M., another observation of LN 12 was conducted. LN 12 went back to Resident 55's room and checked Resident 55's g-tube placement without putting a gown. On 1/15/25 at 8:36 A.M., an observation was conducted of LN 12 while preparing Resident 55's medications. LN 12 put gloves on, removed a gown from the wall, took out the gown from the plastic package, placed the plastic package in the trash bin with his gloves, opened the trash bin with gloved hands, put the gown to himself, moved the trash bin with gloved hand, did not remove his gloves, went to Resident 55's room and proceeded to give the medications to Resident 55. LN 12 instilled medication drops to Resident 55's eyes then gave the medications to Resident 55 via the g-tube. On 1/15/25 at 12:30 P.M., an interview was conducted with LN 12. LN 12 stated when providing care to residents with EBP, staff were required to wear PPE, such as giving meds, checking residents' vital signs and peri care to prevent cross contamination. LN 12 stated any direct contact to residents with EBP required PPE use. LN 12 stated he forgot to wear a gown when he checked Resident 55's vital signs and g-tube placement. LN 12 stated he did not realize he did not perform hand hygiene and changed gloves when he touched the trash bin and gave Resident 55 his medications. LN 12 stated the trash bin was considered dirty. On 1/15/25 at 3:40 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. The DON stated the expectation was for the staff to follow the procedures on EBP, to perform hand hygiene and changed gloves when gloves were contaminated to prevent infection because residents were prone to getting an infection.
