Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the PASRR (pre-admission
screening and resident review, a federal requirement to help ensure individuals are not inappropriately
placed in nursing homes for long term care) for one of two residents (Resident 3). This failure had the
potential to put the resident at risk for not receiving appropriate care and services.
Findings:
Review of Resident 3's clinical record indicated he had the diagnoses of depression (a group of conditions
associated with the elevation or lowering of a person's mood), dementia (disorder of the mental process
caused by brain disease or injury), schizoaffective disorder (a combination of schizophrenia [a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly] and mood disorder), and unspecified psychosis
(a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality).
Resident 3's preadmission PASRR Level 1 screening, dated 12/03/22, was reviewed. Question number 10,
section 3 asked, Does the individual have a serious diagnosed mental disorder such as Depressive
Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder, or symptoms of
Psychosis, Delusions, and/or Mood Disturbance? The person who filled out the PASRR Level 1 screening
marked no.
Resident 3's physician's order, dated 3/14/23, indicated he was receiving Risperidone (medication used to
treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (a disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from
depressive low to manic high), or irritability associated with autistic disorder (a serious developmental
disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact) 0.25 milligrams (mg, unit of dose
measurement) one tablet by mouth one time a day for schizoaffective disorder evidenced by striking
out/continued yelling.
During an interview with the Minimum Data Set Consultant (MDS C) on 6/16/23, at 10:07 a.m., she stated
the admissions personnel or the MDS was responsible for the PASRR program.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the MDS Director (MDS D) on 6/16/23, at 1:34 p.m.,
she verified that Resident 3's PASRR Level 1 screening, dated 12/03/22, was filled out incorrectly. The MDS
director confirmed the person who filled out the form should have marked yes for question number 10,
section 3.
According to Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS.gov) [was created to administer oversight of
the Medicare Program and the federal portion of the Medicaid program], titled Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASRR) Technical Assistance for States dated 9/30/2009, description ,The state uses the
evaluation to determine, prior to admission , whether Nursing Facilities (NF) placement is appropriate for
the individuals, and whether the individuals requires specialized services for mental illness (MI)/mental
retardation (MR),These screens generally consist of forms completed by hospital discharge planners,
community health nurses , or other as defined by the state. Individuals who do or may have MI/MR are
referred for a level II PASRR evaluation .(

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow professional standards for
one of 22 sampled selected residents (Resident 6) when Licensed Vocational Nurse G (LVN G) did not wait
for the recommended time between each puff of the inhaler medications.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 6 to not receive the full amount of each medication
and the adverse effects on resident's health.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 6's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility with diagnosis
including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, a common lung disease causing restricted
airflow and breathing problems).
During a record review of Resident 6's physician orders included the following:
- Tiotropium Bromide Monohydrate (Spiriva, oral inhaler to treats asthma) 18 micrograms (mcg, unit of
mass), 1 capsule inhale orally in the morning for 2 inhalations.
Symbicort 80-4.5 mcg (oral inhaler, used long-term to improve symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease), 1 puff inhale orally and two times a day.
During a medication pass observation on 6/14/2023 at 9:17 a.m., LVN G administered the Spiriva inhaler to
Resident 6. Resident 6 self-administered the inhaler and performed two inhalations. Following this, the
nurse immediately administered the Symbicort to Resident 6. Resident 6 self-administered the inhaler with
one puff. However, LVN G did not instruct Resident 6 to wait five minutes between the two different
medications.
During an interview with LVN G on 6/15/2023 at 5:27 p.m., LVN G confirmed the above observation and
she stated that she was not aware of the requirement to wait between different medications.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration Operating
Standard Guideline, dated 12/2012, indicated, Inhalers - .Wait 5 minutes between different medications .

post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health condition that may develop after a traumatic event).
Review of Resident 145's physician orders indicated she had an order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute via
nasal cannula (a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or airflow) as needed for oxygen saturation
less than 92% on room air, dated 7/17/22 and discontinued on 6/5/23.
Review of Resident 145's Smoking Safety Screen, dated 1/11/23 indicated the answer, Yes to Resident has
expressed continued desire to smoke despite explained health and safety risks. The Smoking Safety
Screen also indicated, Resident is a safe smoker and may smoke independently. (Note: Residents on
Oxygen may not be independent smokers.)
During an interview on 6/15/23 at 10:15 a.m., the director of nursing (DON) confirmed Resident 145 should
not have been assessed to be an independent smoker because the resident was on oxygen.
Review of the facility's policy, Smoking Policy, revised 2/2018 indicated the IDT (interdisciplinary team, a
group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for residents) was
responsible for evaluating safety risks and staff will provide appropriate supervision for prohibiting smoking
in the presence of oxygen use.

diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a group of symptoms affecting thinking and social abilities
interfering with daily functioning), ataxia (impaired balance or coordination), polyneuropathy (nerve problem
that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body), history of
falling, nicotine dependence and unspecified visual loss.
Review of Resident 39's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool), dated 2/25/2023, indicated
Resident 39's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, cognition level) score was 13, meaning he was
cognitively intact. A review of Resident 39's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 39's BIMS
score dropped to a 10, meaning he was moderately impaired with his cognition.
Review of Resident 39's Smoking Safety Screen dated 2/27/2023, indicated, Resident is safe to smoke
independently and smokes about 2 cigarettes daily. Staff keeps his lighter while resident may keep
