1. Failing to ensure Certified Nursing Assistant 2 was not standing over one of one sampled resident
(Resident 38) while assisting the resident during a meal during review of dignity care area.
Residents Affected - Few
2. Failing to ensure CNA 4 was not standing over one of seven sampled residents (Resident 64) while
assisting the resident during a meal during review of dining observation task.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 38 and 64's self-esteem, self-worth, and the
residents' sense of independence.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 38's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/28/2017, and
readmitted the resident on 2/11/2024, with diagnoses including muscle wasting (loss of muscle tissue) and
atrophy (a decrease in the size of a body part, cell, organ, or other tissue), dementia (loss of memory,
language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life),
and major depressive disorder (a mental health condition that causes a persistently low or depressed mood
and a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy).
A review of Resident 38's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/14/2024, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/17/2024, indicated the resident sometimes had the ability to make self-understood and understand
others. The MDS indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (problems remembering things
and solving problems). The MDS also indicated the resident required substantial to maximal assistance on
eating.
During an observation and interview on 3/2/2024, at 8:07 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2),
observed CNA 2 standing with CNA 2's right knee propped on a stool at the left side of Resident 38 while
feeding Resident 38. Resident 38 was facing her right side with the head of the bed elevated at 40 degrees.
CNA 2 stated she should be sitting down and facing the resident when assisting the resident with eating.
CNA 2 stated it is important to feed the resident within eye level to prevent choking and to see if the
resident was swallowing the food without pocketing them on the resident's cheeks.
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 12:23 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff
should feed residents at eye level to observe for swallowing difficulties. The DON stated if staff were not
sitting on eye level, they will miss what was going on while feeding the resident. The DON stated the CNA
should have sat down to show respect and provide dignity to the resident. The DON also stated CNA 2
should sit in front of the resident and lower the bed to be at eye level with the resident.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Feeding Residents, last reviewed on 9/29/2023,
indicated staff should be eye level of resident.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to keep the call light (device used to
alert nurses and other facility staff to assist a resident in need) within reach of the resident for one of three
sampled residents investigated under the environment facility task (Resident 204) when Resident 204's call
light was observed on the floor next to the resident's bed.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the resident not being able to call the facility staff for
assistance and delay provision of care and services.
Findings:

diagnoses including, but not limited to, generalized muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, and dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing).
A review of Resident 204's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 3/13/2024, indicated Resident 204 was able to make herself understood and understand others and
had moderately impaired cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience, and the senses). The MDS further indicated Resident 204
needed supervision or touching assistance with eating, partial assistance with oral hygiene, toileting
hygiene, showering or bathing, upper body dressing, personal hygiene, rolling left and right, sitting to lying
in bed, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, sitting to standing, chair or bed-to-chair transfer, and toilet
transfers, and required maximal assistance with lower body dressing and putting on or taking off footwear.
A review of Resident 204's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/13/2024, indicated Resident 204 was
awake and alert.
A review of Resident 204's Licensed Nurses Note, dated 3/19/2024, indicated Resident 204 was dependent
on staff, with one person assistance, for picking up objects on the floor from a standing position.
A review of Resident 204's Care Plan, dated 3/8/2024, indicated Resident 204 was at risk for falls related to
decreased strength and or endurance, unsteady gait (manner of walking) and history of falls. Resident
204's care plan further indicated approaches (or interventions) included attach call light to bed within
access of the resident.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 204, on 3/19/2024, at 8:44 a.m., inside
Resident 204's room, Resident 204 was observed in bed with her call light on the floor to the right of the
resident's bed. Resident 204 stated she did not know how to call for help from the facility staff, did not know
what a call light was, and did not know where her call light was located.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 3, on 3/21/2024, at 9:44 a.m.,
inside Resident 204's room, Resident 204 was observed lying down in bed with a call light on the floor to
the right of the resident's bed. RN 3 confirmed Resident 204's call light was on the floor and stated the
resident's call light should be within reach of the resident. RN 3 stated Resident 204 has periods of
confusion and would not be able to get the call light on her own. RN 3 further stated it is important to have

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, and record review, the facility failed to provide an environment that is restraint-free
as indicated in the facility's policy for one resident (Resident 60) out of one sampled resident investigated
during review of physical restraints care area by:
Residents Affected - Few
1.
Failing to ensure an order was obtained from the physician prior to use of bed pad alarm.
2.
Failing to ensure the informed consent was obtained from Resident 60 or responsible party (RP) prior to
use of bed pad alarm.
3.
Failing to ensure a restraint assessment was completed prior to use of bed pad alarm.
These deficient practices placed Resident 60 at risk for unnecessary prolonged use of restraints which can
lead to a decline in functioning.
Findings:
A review of Resident 60's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on
4/17/2019 and readmitted the resident on 3/13/2024 with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a
condition in which brain function is disturbed either temporarily or permanently due to different diseases or
toxins in the body), dementia (a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions
that interferes with doing everyday activities), generalized muscle weakness, and history of falling.
A review of resident 60's History and Physical dated 3/15/2024, indicated the resident did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 60's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
3/18/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required supervision/touching assistance with eating and oral hygiene;
substantial/maximal assistance with lower body dressing, putting on/taking off socks, and sit to stand;
partial/moderate assistance with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be
accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 60's Fall Risk Assessment forms indicated the following:
On 5/5/2023, Resident 60 was determined to be a high risk for fall with a score of 26.

A review of Resident 60's Order Summary Report did not indicate a physician's order for the use of an
alarm device in the bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/19/2024 at 9:35 a.m. in Resident 60's room, Certified
Nursing Assistant 7 (CNA 7) verified the presence of a bed pad alarm attached on the right lower part of
the bed. CNA 7 stated Resident 60 has been using the bed pad alarm prior to the resident's recent transfer
to the hospital and the resident continued using the bed pad alarm when the resident was readmitted due
to frequent fall incidents. CNA 7 stated Resident 60 was able to get up with minimal assistance and
required assistance in ambulation to the restroom.
During a concurrent observation, interview, and record review on 3/21/2024 at 10:04 a.m., with Registered
Nurse 3 (RN 3), reviewed Resident 60's electronic health record (EHR) including Order Summary Report,
restraint assessment, and informed consent. RN 3 verified the presence of bed pad alarm attached on the
right lower side of Resident 60's bed. RN 3 stated Resident 60 was a high risk for falls due to frequent fall
incidents. RN 3 verified there was no physician's order, no restraint assessment, and no informed consent
in place prior to use of bed pad alarm when the resident was readmitted on [DATE].
RN 3 stated the restraint assessment should have been completed, the physician order should have been
obtained, and the informed consent should have been obtained from the resident's responsible party. RN 3
stated the bed pad alarm will emit a loud sound when the resident tries to get up and is considered a
restraint because it restricts the resident's movement. RN 3 stated the use of bed pad alarm should have
been clarified with the physician prior to use.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/2024 at 11:34 a.m., with the Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), reviewed Resident 60's HER including Order Summary Report, restraint assessment,
and informed consent. The MDSC verified Resident 60 was determined to be high risk for falls based on the
Fall Risk Assessment forms dated 5/5/2023, 8/4/2023, 11/3/2023, and 3/13/2024. The MDSC verified the
only restraint assessment completed upon readmission on [DATE] was for the bilateral upper siderails with
bilateral floor mats. The MDSC verified there was no restraint assessment, no physician's order, and no
informed consent was obtained from the resident or RP prior to use of bed pad alarm upon readmission.
The MDSC stated a restraint assessment should have been completed to ensure appropriateness of the
use of the alarm device for safety as there could be changes in Resident 60's

Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the
resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to complete and provide the resident or resident
representative the bed hold notification form on 11/22/2023, when the resident was transferred to general
acute care hospital 1 (GACH 1), for one out of three sampled residents (Resident 101) selected for closed
record review.
This deficient practice had a potential to result in the resident's responsible party being unaware of the bed
hold policy and can lead to a transfer of the resident to another skilled nursing facility/acute care hospital
not of the resident's or responsible party's preference.
Findings:
A review of Resident 101's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/16/2023,
and readmitted the resident on 11/23/2023, with diagnoses including fracture of lower end of left femur (a
beak of a bone in the thighbone that occur just above the knee joint), sepsis (the body's extreme response
to an infection), mild protein-calorie malnutrition (a nutritional status in which reduced availability of
nutrients leads to changes in body composition and function).
A review of Resident 101's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/17/2023, indicated the resident had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 101's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 10/22/2023, indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others.
A review of Resident 101's Change of Condition (COC)/Interact Assessment Form, dated 11/22/2023,
indicated the resident had abscess (an enclosed collection of pus in tissues, organs, or confined spaces in
the body) around the surgical site. The COC/Interact Assessment Form indicated post op surgical site
noted with abscess and cleansed with normal saline (NS, a mixture of salt and water) and new dressing
was applied by treatment nurse. Medical Doctor 1 (MD 1) called general acute care hospital 1 (GACH 1) to
arrange for the transfer. Physician and Responsible Party notified.
A review of Resident 101's Physician Order, dated 11/22/2023, indicated an order to transfer to GACH 1
related to abscess around surgical site, with 7-day bed hold.
A review of Resident 101's Notice of Proposed Transfer/Discharge, dated 11/22/2023, indicated the
resident was transferred to GACH 1 for abscess on surgical site.
A review of Resident 101's Notification of Bed Hold, dated 10/16/2023, indicated no information on the
effective date of transfer, name of resident, and transfer location. The bed hold start date and stop date was
not indicated on the form.
During an interview on 3/20/2024, at 4:29 p.m., with Medical Record Staff (MR), the MR stated the staff
should have filled out the lower portion of the bed hold notification policy to be given to the resident or
resident representative to inform them on the date and destination of transfer of the resident and to let them
know of when they will be losing the bed.

that organizes information about the resident's care) addressing the use of bed pad alarm for one (1) out of
1 sampled resident (Resident 60) reviewed for use of physical restraints.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 60 not to receive the appropriate care and treatment
specific to her needs.

Findings:
A review of Resident 60's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on
4/17/2019 and readmitted the resident on 3/13/2024 with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a
condition in which brain function is disturbed either temporarily or permanently due to different diseases or
toxins in the body), dementia (a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions
that interferes with doing everyday activities), generalized muscle weakness, and history of falling.
A review of resident 60's History and Physical dated 3/15/2024, indicated the resident did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 60's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
3/18/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring

A review of Resident 60's Order Summary Report did not indicate a physician's order for the use of an
alarm device on the bed.
A review of Resident 60's Fall Risk Assessment forms indicated the following:
On 5/5/2023, Resident 60 was determined to be a high risk for fall with a score of 26.
On 8/4/23, Resident 60 was determined to be a high risk for fall with a score is 26.

A review of Resident 60's baseline care plans did not indicate there was a baseline care plan initiated
addressing the use of bed pad alarm.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/19/2024 at 9:35 a.m. in Resident 60's room, Certified
Nursing Assistant 7 (CNA 7) verified the presence of a bed pad alarm attached on the right lower part of
the bed. CNA 7 stated Resident 60 had been using the bed pad alarm prior to the resident's recent transfer
to the hospital and the resident continued using the bed pad alarm when the resident was readmitted due
to frequent fall incidents. CNA 7 stated Resident 60 was able to get up with minimal assistance and
required assistance in ambulation to the restroom.
During a concurrent observation, interview, and record review on 3/21/2024 at 10:04 a.m., with Registered
Nurse 3 (RN 3), reviewed Resident 60's baseline care plans. RN 3 verified the presence of bed pad alarm
attached on the right lower side of Resident 60's bed. RN 3 stated Resident 60 was a high risk for falls due

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 develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for:
1. One of two sampled residents investigated under the communication-sensory care area (Resident 9)
when the facility failed to develop interventions in Resident 9's care plan to include the use of a
communication board (an assistive visual aid with pictures and words translated into various languages
used to facilitate communication between residents and staff).
This deficient practice had the potential for the delay of Resident 9's care and communication with staff and
visitors.
2. One of one sampled resident investigated under the respiratory care area (Resident 50) when a care
plan for Resident 50's use of personal Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP - a machine that delivers
pressurized air into the lungs to facilitate breathing via a mask which is worn over the nose and mouth
improving the level of oxygen in the blood) was not developed.
The inconsistent implementation of the care plan that may lead to a delay in or lack of delivery of care and
services for Resident 50.
Cross-reference F676 and F695
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 9 on
6/26/2019 and readmitted the resident on 9/5/2019 with diagnoses including, but not limited to, major
depressive disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of
interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life). The admission record further indicated
Resident 9's primary language was Arabic.
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/15/2023, indicated Resident 9 had moderate difficulty with hearing (speaker has to increase
volume and speak distinctly), had moderately impaired vision (limited vision; not able to see newspaper
headlines but can identify objects), was sometimes understood and sometimes understood others and had
short-term and long-term memory problems. The MDS indicated Resident 9's preferred language was
Arabic. The MDS further indicated Resident 9 required supervision or touching assistance with eating and
was dependent on staff with activities of daily living such as dressing, hygiene, and surface-to-surface
transfers.
A review of Resident 9''s Social Services Progress Notes, dated 3/15/2024, indicated Resident 9 was
oriented to person and communicates in Arabic and English.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 9, on 3/19/2024, at 10:33 a.m., inside
Resident 9's room, Resident 9 was observed in bed awake. An attempt to interview Resident 9 was
conducted and Resident 9's responses were incomprehensible. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 was

stated Resident 9 does not speak English well and is disoriented. Further observation indicated there was
no communication board present at the bedside.
During a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 3, on 3/19/2024, at 10:40 a.m., inside Resident 3's
room, CNA 3 confirmed Resident 3 did not have a communication board at the bedside. CNA 3 stated
Resident 9 does not speak English and CNA 3 stated he has not seen a communication board inside the
resident's room.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, on 3/20/2024, at 12:21 p.m., LVN 4 stated
Resident 9 usually communicates in a different language and is able to understand simple commands. LVN
4 stated she did not know if the facility has a communication board for residents who do not speak English.
LVN 4 further stated it is important to provide residents with a communication board to make sure residents'
needs are met and it would be difficult to communicate with the resident if there was a language barrier.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Social Services Assistant (SSA), on 3/20/2024, at
2:27 p.m., Resident 9's Care Plans for cognitive and or communication deficits, revised 9/15/2023,
indicated Resident 9 has confusion and forgetfulness, moderate difficulty in hearing, and speaks English
and Arabic. The SSA confirmed Resident 9's care plan did not indicate interventions to provide Resident 9
a communication board or use of translation services and stated it is important to implement those
interventions so that residents can communicate with staff and can get what they need from the staff. The
SSA stated Resident 9 speaks Arabic and he used a translation service to speak with the resident. The
SSA stated interventions for residents who do not speak English include providing a communication board
at the bedside. The SSA further stated if a resident is not able to communicate with the staff, residents'
needs will not have their needs met.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/22/2024, at 2:17 p.m., the DON stated
communication boards make it easier to communicate between staff and residents. The DON stated if a
communication board was not provided to the resident, residents would not be able to communicate their
needs and their condition might worsen. The DON stated it is important to develop a plan of care for
communication that the staff will know how to take care of the resident and know what language needs to
be interpreted to the resident. The DON further stated if the care plan was not developed there would be no
communication between the staff and residents and the facility would not be able to provide good care to
the residents.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Accommodation of Needs Related to
Communication Deficits, last reviewed 9/29/2023, indicated communication needs will be identified and
appropriate interventions, including care planning, will be developed in order to accommodate the needs of
the resident.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, last reviewed 9/29/2023,
indicated comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to
meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs are developed and implemented for each
resident. The P&P further indicated the comprehensive, person-centered care plan describes the services
that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being.

blocks airflow and makes it hard to breathe), acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition that occurs
when there is not enough oxygen in the blood making it difficult to breathe), and generalized muscle
weakness.
A review of Resident 50's History and Physical dated 2/14/2024, indicted the resident had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 50's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident had an intact cognition (mental action
or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) and required supervision/touching assistance with
eating; partial/moderate assistance with upper body dressing, and personal hygiene; dependent on staff
with tub/shower transfers; substantial/maximal assistance with all other activities of daily living (ADLs basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 50's Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order to administer oxygen at two
(2) liters per minute (LPM - a unit of measurement) via nasal cannula (a medical device used to deliver
oxygen directly into the nostrils) may titrate up to 5 LPM for oxygen saturation less than 90 percent (% - a
unit of measurement) dated 2/5/2024. The Order Summary Report did not indicate a physician's order for a
BiPAP machine to be used by the resident.
A review of Resident 50's care plans: risk for respiratory distress due to current respiratory condition and
diagnosis of COPD initiated 2/6/2024 and last revised on 2/17/2024 and oxygen therapy initiated on
2/6/2024, with target date 5/13/2024, did not indicate the use of BiPAP as one of the interventions nor was
there a care plan developed addressing the use of BiPAP machine at the resident's bedside.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/2024 at 1:30 p.m., with Registered Nurse 3 (RN
3), reviewed Resident 50's care plans. RN 3 verified Resident 50 has a BiPAP machine at the bedside that
was brought in from home by the resident's family. RN 3 stated Resident 50 turns on the machine and
places the mask over her nose and mouth by herself. RN 3 verified there was no documented evidence that
a care plan was developed addressing the use of BiPAP machine. RN 3 stated a care plan should have
been developed so everyone would be aware of Resident 50's current condition and would be able address
the needs of the resident promptly.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/2024 at 2:46 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), reviewed Resident 50's care plans and physician orders. The MDSC verified there
was no documented evidence that a physician's order was obtained prior to the use of BiPAP machine
including orders obtained for the correct setting, monitoring of the BiPAP setting, and maintenance of the
machine every shift. The MDSC stated there was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed
for Resident 50's use of BiPAP machine. The MDSC stated comprehensive care plans are developed no
more than 21 days after admission. The MDSC stated the care plan should have been developed and
implemented so that staff are aware of the resident status and the interventions needed in providing care to
the resident.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, last reviewed 9/29/2024,

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to review and revise the resident's care plan to
reflect the accurate status of the resident for one out of four sampled residents (Resident 38) investigated
during review of pressure ulcers/injuries (damage to an area of the skin caused by constant pressure on
the area for a long time) by failing to resolve the care plan for actual pressure injury when the resident's
pressure injury was resolved on 2/26/2024.
The deficient practice had the potential to result in the failure to address a resident's changing needs.
Findings:
A review of Resident 38's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/28/2017, and
readmitted the resident on 2/11/2024, with diagnoses including mild protein calorie malnutrition (a
nutritional status in which reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in body composition and
function), pressure induced deep tissue damage of sacral region (occur when a bony prominence, such as
the sacrum [tailbone], is subjected to prolonged pressure and can result in soft tissue injury), and muscle
weakness.
A review of Resident 38's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/14/2024, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/17/2024, indicated the resident sometimes had the ability to make self-understood and understand
others. The MDS indicated the resident was dependent on rolling from left and right on bed, sitting on side
of bed to lying flat on bed, and vice versa.
A review of Resident 38's Care Plan titled, Actual Pressure Sore. Resident was noted with sacro-coccyx
deep tissue injury (DTI, persistent non-blanchable deep red, purple or maroon areas of intact skin,
non-intact skin or blood-filled blisters caused by damage to the underlying soft tissues), secondary to ., last
reviewed on 2/25/2024, indicated the care plan was still on the active list of care plan being implemented.
During an interview on 3/21/2024, with Treatment Nurse 1 (TX 1), TX 1 stated the DTI was resolved on
2/26/2024, and was communicated to the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC). TX 1 stated the MDSC
should have resolved the actual pressure injury care plan since the resident does not have a pressure
injury anymore. TX 1 stated it is important to revise and update the care plan of the resident to reflect the
actual status of the resident.
During an interview on 3/21/2024, at 3:06 p.m., with the MDSC, the MDSC stated she was aware that the
pressure injury was resolved, and she should have resolved the actual pressure injury care plan the day
she was informed. The MDSC stated it was important to update the care plan on an ongoing basis to show
residents status accurately.
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 1:08 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
MDSC should have resolved the care plan as soon as the pressure injury was resolved. The DON state it
was important to review and revise the care plan to ensure the accurate information of the

1. Ensure licensed nurses rotate (a method to ensure repeated injections are not administered in the same
area) subcutaneous (beneath the skin) administration sites of insulin (a hormone that lowers the level of
sugar in the blood) to Resident 48 and Resident 91.
The deficient practice had the potential for adverse effect (unwanted, unintended result) of same site
subcutaneous administration of insulin such as lipodystrophy (abnormal distribution of fat) and cutaneous
amyloidosis (a rare disease that occurs when a protein called amyloid builds up in organs).
2. Ensure licensed nurses clarified the order for prednisone for Resident 48 dated 3/6/2024 from the Nurse
Practitioner (NP) before administering the medication to the resident.
The deficient practice resulted in a medication error due to licensed nurse administered the wrong dosage
of prednisone to Resident 48 for two days.
Cross reference F755 and F760.
Findings:
1.
A review of Resident 48's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/9/2024, with
diagnoses including prediabetes (a serious health condition where the blood sugar levels are higher than
normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes [ a disease that occurs when the blood
sugar is too high]), abnormal glucose (also called blood sugar), and merkell cell carcinoma (a very rare
disease in which malignant cells form in the skin).
A review of Resident 48's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/10/2024, indicated the resident had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 1/15/2024, indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated the resident was on insulin injection.
A review of Resident 48's Order Summary Report indicated the following orders:
- 1/10/2024 Insulin Lispro (1 Unit Dial) Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector 100 unit per milliliter (unit/ml, a
unit of fluid volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter) (Insulin Lispro). Inject as per sliding scale (the

Location of Administration of insulin administration. RN 1 stated there were multiple repeated insulin
administration on the same sites to Resident 48 between 1/2024 to 3/2024. RN 1 stated the site of insulin
administration should be rotated to prevent lipodystrophy (the term describing the localized loss of fat
tissue).
During an interview on 3/21/2024, at 1:46 p.m., with the Physician Consultant (PC), the PC stated the staff
should rotate insulin administration site to prevent lipodystrophy, bumps on the skin, scar on the skin that
interferes with insulin absorption (taking in or reception).
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 12:54 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated they recommend rotating
the site of insulin administration to prevent skin bruising and pain.

A review of Resident 48's Physician and Telephone Order, dated 3/6/2024, indicated an order of prednisone
20 ms po daily. Follow up (telehealth MD 2 (Derm) at General Acute Care Hospital 3 (GACH 3).
A review of Resident 48's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for 3/2024, indicated an order for:
- prednisone oral tablet 1 milligram (mg, a unit of mass or weight) (prednisone). Give 2 tablets by mouth
one time a day for merkell cell carcinoma. Administer with breakfast. With order date of 3/7/2024;
discontinued on 3/8/2024.
-The MAR indicated the medication was given on 3/7/2024 and 3/8/2024.
During an interview and record review on 3/21/2024, at 9:17 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1),
reviewed Resident 48's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and physician orders. RN 1 stated
Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) received the prednisone order from the Nurse Practitioner (NP) on 3/6/2024 and
RN 2 entered the order as prednisone 2 mg one time a day. RN 1 stated she spoke with the NP on

confusing). Transmit the appropriate copy to the pharmacy for dispensing.
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 12:54 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated when they receive orders
from the MD and the NP, the nurse will place the orders electronically. The DON stated the medication
ordered will be sent within 4 hours to the facility. The DON stated they do not fax orders to the pharmacy.
The DON stated the nurse should have called the MD or NP if the nurse needed clarification of the order for
the safety of the resident.

2. A review of Resident 91's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/14/2024 with
diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2 - also known as high blood sugar, a condition that
happens because of a problem in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as a fuel), long term use of
insulin, and overactive bladder.
A review of resident 91's History and Physical dated 12/8/2023, indicated the resident did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 91's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
2/8/2024, indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required supervision/set up assistance with eating; partial/moderate
assistance with oral hygiene; substantial/maximal assistance with upper body dressing, and personal
hygiene; dependent on staff with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be
accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). The MDS indicated DM as an active diagnosis and
received insulin during the last seven days.
A review of Resident 91's Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order for the following:
12/7/2023: insulin glargine subcutaneous solution pen-injector 100 units per milliliters (unit/ml, the number
of units of insulin in one milliliter) (insulin glargine-yfgn). Inject six units subcutaneously one time a day for
type 2 DM hold for blood sugar less than 90.
12/7/2023: insulin lispro (one unit dial) subcutaneous solution pen-injector 100 units per milliliters (unit/ml,
the number of units of insulin in one milliliter) (insulin lispro). Inject as per sliding scale (the increasing
administration of the pre-meal insulin dose based on the blood sugar level before meals): if 60-150 = 0; 151
- 200 = 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 - 400 = 10 units,
subcutaneously before meals and at bedtime for type 2 DM. notify MD if blood sugar is above 400 or below
60. Give insulin 5-10 minutes before mealtime, may give orange juice 8 ounces (oz - a unit of measurement
for liquids) or glucose gel by mouth (an over-the-counter medication, consisting primarily of dextrose and
water used to treat low blood sugar) if blood sugar below 60.

Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were provided a
communication device to allow communication between staff and residents for one of two sampled
residents investigated under the communication-sensory care area (Resident 9), when Resident 9 was not
provided a communication board (an assistive visual aid with pictures and words translated into various
languages used to facilitate communication between residents and staff) to communicate with staff and
visitors.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to delay Resident 9's care and communication with staff and
visitors.
Findings:
A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 9 on 6/26/2019
and readmitted the resident on 9/5/2019 with diagnoses including, but not limited to, major depressive
disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in
activities, causing significant impairment in daily life). The admission record further indicated Resident 9's
primary language was Arabic.
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/15/2023, indicated Resident 9 had moderate difficulty with hearing (speaker has to increase
volume and speak distinctly), had moderately impaired vision (limited vision; not able to see newspaper
headlines but can identify objects), was sometimes understood and sometimes understood others and had
short-term and long-term memory problems. The MDS indicated Resident 9's preferred language was
Arabic. The MDS further indicated Resident 9 required supervision or touching assistance with eating and
was dependent on staff with activities of daily living such as dressing, hygiene, and surface-to-surface
transfers.
A review of Resident 9''s Social Services Progress Notes, dated 3/15/2024, indicated Resident 9 was
oriented to person and communicates in Arabic and English.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 9, on 3/19/2024, at 10:33 a.m., inside
Resident 9's room, Resident 9 was observed in bed awake. An attempt to interview Resident 9 was
conducted and Resident 9's responses were incomprehensible. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 was
assisting Resident 9's roommate and overheard the interview between the surveyor and Resident 9 and
stated Resident 9 does not speak English well and is disoriented. Further observation indicated there was
no communication board present at the bedside.
During a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 3, on 3/19/2024, at 10:40 a.m., inside Resident 3's
room, CNA 3 confirmed Resident 3 did not have a communication board at the bedside. CNA 3 stated
Resident 9 does not speak English and CNA 3 stated he has not seen a communication board inside the
resident's room.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, on 3/20/2024, at 12:21 p.m., LVN 4 stated
Resident 9 usually communicates in a different language and is able to understand simple commands. LVN
4 stated she did not know if the facility has a communication board for residents who do not speak English.
LVN 4 further stated it is important to provide residents with a communication board

to make sure residents' needs are met and it would be difficult to communicate with the resident if there
was a language barrier.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Social Services Assistant (SSA), on 3/20/2024, at
2:27 p.m., Resident 9's Care Plans for cognitive and or communication deficits, revised 9/15/2023,
indicated Resident 9 has confusion and forgetfulness, moderate difficulty in hearing, and speaks English
and Arabic. The SSA confirmed Resident 9's care plan did not indicate interventions to provide Resident 9
a communication board or use of translation services and stated it is important to implement those
interventions so that residents can communicate with staff and can get what they need from the staff. The
SSA stated Resident 9 speaks Arabic and he used a translation service to speak with the resident. The
SSA stated interventions for residents who do not speak English include providing a communication board
at the bedside. The SSA further stated if a resident is not able to communicate with the staff, residents'
needs will not have their needs met.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/22/2024, at 2:17 p.m., the DON stated
communication boards make it easier to communicate between staff and residents. The DON further stated
if a communication board was not provided to the resident, residents would not be able to communicate
their needs and their condition might worsen.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Accommodation of Needs Related to Communication
Deficits, last reviewed 9/29/2023, indicated communication needs will be identified and appropriate
interventions, including care planning, will be developed in order to accommodate the needs of the
resident.

Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents receive proper
assistive devices to maintain vision and hearing abilities by failing to notify the resident's physician of a
missed ophthalmology (the branch of medical science dealing with the anatomy, functions and diseases of
the eye) appointment and by failing to follow the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor's recommendation for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 29) investigated during review of communication and sensory
care area.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in worsening of the resident's condition and could
negatively affect their daily activities and overall well-being.
Findings:
A review of Resident 29's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on
5/2/2022 and readmitted the resident on 3/18/2024 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease with acute exacerbation (COPD, a lung disease characterized by long term poor airflow),
unspecified hearing loss, and history of falling.
A review of Resident 29's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool)
dated 1/14/2024 indicated the resident's hearing as highly impaired (absence of useful hearing), used
hearing aids, made self-understood and understood others.
A review of Resident 29's ENT visit notes, dated 11/28/2023, indicated an audiogram was recommended
for observation of abnormal hearing and the resident complaining of hearing problems. The ENT visit notes
indicated an audiogram has been ordered.
A review of Resident 29's Ophthalmologist Evaluation and Management Report, dated 1/23/2024, indicated
a follow-up with the optometrist (professional who examines, diagnoses, and treats patients' eyes) for new
glasses and a follow-up treatment in six to 12 months.
A review of Resident 29's physician orders indicated a follow-up appointment with the resident's
ophthalmologist on 3/15/2024 at 12 p.m.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/20/2024 at 2:00 p.m., at Resident 29's bed side,
Resident 29 stated he has hearing issues that seems to be getting worse and his left ear would sometimes
hurt. Resident 29 stated he uses an amplifier on his right ear. Observed corded headphone on the
resident's right ear connected to an amplifier the resident was holding on his right hand. Resident 29 stated
he was supposed to see his ophthalmologist but missed the appointment because he was at the hospital.
The resident stated he wanted to see his eye doctor and get his ears checked before his hearing and vision
gets worse. The resident further stated he is scared to lose his vision and hearing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/2024 at 8:49 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN
1), reviewed Resident 29's physician orders. Registered Nurse 1 stated Resident 29 had an appointment
with the ophthalmologist on 3/15/2024 but the resident was sent out to the hospital and came back on
3/18/2024. RN 1 stated the resident's appointment should have been rescheduled. RN 1 stated there was
no order placed for the ENT doctor's recommendation on 11/28/2023 for an audiogram. RN 1 stated the
recommendation should have been followed-up with the resident's attending physician and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide care consistent with professional
standards of practice to prevent pressure ulcer/injury (breakdown of skin integrity due to pressure) for five
(5) out of 5 sampled residents (Resident 51, 303, 38, 7, and 57) investigated during review of pressure
ulcers care area by failing to set the low air loss mattress (LALM, designed to distribute the resident's
weight over a broad surface area and help prevent skin breakdown) according to the resident's weight.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential for the development and worsening of pressure ulcers/injuries.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 51's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/19/2024 with
diagnoses including same level fall incident, left femur fracture (a break in the thigh bone), generalized
muscle weakness, and difficulty in walking.
A review of resident 51's History and Physical dated 1/21/2024, indicated the resident had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 51's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
1/25/2024, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required supervision/set up assistance with eating; partial/moderate
assistance with oral hygiene and upper body dressing; dependent on staff with lower body dressing, putting
on/off socks, toileting, and bathing; substantial/maximal assistance with all other activities of daily living
(ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 51's physician's order dated 1/29/2024, indicated an order for low air loss mattress for
skin management.
A review of Resident 51's electronic health record (EHR) indicated the resident's current dated 3/15/2022
was 106 pounds (lbs, unit of measurement)
A review of Resident 51's care plan on risk for developing pressure sore, and other types of skin breakdown
related to aging process, limited mobility, and left femur fracture initiated on 2/4/2024 with target date
4/26/2024, indicated an intervention for pressure relieving devices as needed.
A review of Resident 51's weekly Wound Risk assessment dated [DATE], 1/26/2024, 2/2/2024, and
2/9/2024 indicated the resident was a moderate risk for skin breakdown.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/19/2024 at 10:48 a.m. in Resident 51's room with
Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 verified the resident's LALM setting was at 240 lbs. CNA 1
stated the setting should be lower as the resident does not weigh 240 lbs. CNA 1 stated not having the
correct setting for the LALM placed Resident 51 at risk for skin breakdown.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who was
incontinent of bladder received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI,
common infections that happen when bacteria infect the urinary tract) for one (Resident 98) out of one
sampled resident during a random observation by:
1. Failing to ensure the urinary catheter (a tube that is inserted into the bladder, allowing urine to drain
freely) tubing was not touching the floor.
2. Failing to ensure the urinary drainage bag (a bag designed to collect urine from the bladder via a
catheter) was not placed on top of the bed.
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 98's urine not to flow freely which may lead to
urinary tract infection.
Findings:
A review of Resident 98's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/14/2024 with
diagnoses including obstructive and reflux uropathy (a condition in which the flow of urine is blocked
causing the urine to back up and injure one or both kidneys), generalized muscle weakness, and difficulty
in walking.
A review of resident 98's History and Physical dated 2/15/2024, indicated the resident had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 98's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
2/20/2024, indicated the resident had an intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) and required supervision/set up assistance with eating, partial/moderate assistance
with oral hygiene and upper body dressing, dependent on staff with lower body dressing and putting on/off
socks, and substantial/maximal assistance with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that
must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 98's Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order for Foley catheter (also
known as indwelling catheter ([a tube that is inserted into the bladder, allowing urine to drain freely]) due to
obstructive uropathy every shift.
A review of Resident 98's care plan on at risk for complications from catheter use due to obstructive
uropathy was initiated on 2/14/2024 with target date 5/22 2024 indicated the following interventions:
Staff to maintain proper alignment of the Foley catheter to promote proper drainage.
Staff to provide Foley catheter care every shift and as needed as ordered.

F 0695
Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide residents with necessary
respiratory care and services that is in accordance with professional standards of practice to one (1) out of
two sampled residents (Resident 50) investigated during review of respiratory care area by:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Failing to obtain an order from the physician regarding the use of personal Bilevel positive airway
pressure (BiPAP - a machine that delivers pressurized air into the lungs to facilitate breathing via a mask
which is worn over the nose and mouth improving the level of oxygen in the blood) from home prior to use.
2. Failing to obtain an order from the physician regarding monitoring of setting and maintenance for the use
of BiPAP.
3. Failing to complete an assessment prior to use the BiPAP machine.
These deficient practices could place the resident at risk for respiratory problems related to the use of the
BiPAP machine without monitoring and without a physician's order.
Cross Reference to F656
Findings:
A review of Resident 50's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on
12/2/2023 and readmitted the resident on 2/5/2024 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD - a condition caused by damage to the airways or other parts of the lung that blocks airflow
and makes it hard to breathe), acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition that occurs when there is
not enough oxygen in the blood making it difficult to breathe), and generalized muscle weakness.
A review of Resident 50's History and Physical dated 2/14/2024, indicted the resident had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 50's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
2/11/2024, indicated the resident had an intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) and required supervision/touching assistance with eating; partial/moderate assistance
with upper body dressing, and personal hygiene; dependent on staff with tub/shower transfers;
substantial/maximal assistance with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be
accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
A review of Resident 50's Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order for to administer oxygen at
two (2) liters per minute (LPM - a unit of measurement) via nasal cannula (NC - a medical device used to
deliver oxygen directly into the nostrils) may titrate up to 5 LPM for oxygen saturation less than 90 percent
(% - a unit of measurement) dated 2/5/2024. The Order Summary Report did not indicate a physician's
order for a BiPAP machine to be used by the resident.
During an observation on 3/19/2024 at 1:12 p.m., observed Resident 50 sitting on the bed with oxygen
ongoing at 3 LPM via NC. Observed a machine at the bedside. Resident 50 stated it is a rental

BiPAP machine that her family brought from home. Resident 50 stated she has been using the machine at
home and in the facility while sleeping due to COPD and stated she is capable of operating the machine by
herself.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/2024 at 1:30 p.m., with Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3)
reviewed Resident 50's EHR including physician orders and resident assessments. RN 3 verified Resident
50 has a BiPAP machine at the bedside that was brought in from home by the resident's family. RN 3 stated
Resident 50 turns on the machine and places the mask over her nose and mouth by herself. RN 3 verified
there is no physician orders for the use and monitoring of settings of the BiPAP machine nor was there an
assessment conducted prior to the resident's use of the machine to ensure resident safety.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/21/2024 at 2:46 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), reviewed Resident 50's EHR. The MDSC verified there was no documented evidence
that a physician's order was obtained prior to the use of BiPAP machine including orders obtained for the
correct setting, monitoring of the BiPAP setting, and maintenance of the machine every shift. The MDSC
stated there should be a physician's order prior to the use of BiPAP machine to ensure Resident 50 was
receiving the necessary amount of oxygen and pressure required while asleep to prevent complications
such as hypercapnia (a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood resulting in rapid
shallow breathing) and respiratory distress. The MDSC stated an assessment should have been completed
prior to allowing Resident 50 to operate the device to ensure safety and to prevent medical complications.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, CPAP/BIPAP Support, last reviewed 9/29/2023,
indicated the following purposes:
To improve oxygenation in residents with respiratory insufficiency, obstructive sleep apnea, or
restrictive/obstructive lung disease.
To promote resident comfort and safety.
The policy indicated the following preparation steps:
Review the physician's order to determine the oxygen concentration and flow, and the PEEP pressure
(CPAP, IPAP and EPAP) for the machine.
Review and follow manufacturer's instructions for machine set up and oxygen delivery.
The policy indicated specific cleaning instructions are obtained from the manufacturer/supplier of the
device.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to post daily staffing information that
included the total number of Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) and their actual hours worked for three of
three sampled dates (3/18/2024, 3/19/2024, and 3/20/2024) during review of sufficient and competent staff
facility task.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice resulted in residents, visitors, and facility staff not knowing how many staff were
available to provide care to the residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/20/2024 at 11:00 a.m., with the Director of Staff (DSD),
the DSD stated the lobby is the only place where they post the nurse staffing information. The DSD stated
the posting does not show how many staff are working but it shows the projected hours and the actual
hours.
The DSD stated the nursing staffing information posted dated 3/18/2024, should have been updated. The
DSD stated the posting of nurse staffing data is done by the Business Office Assistant.
During an interview on 3/22/2024 at 12:34 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
nursing staffing information should be posted daily so the residents will know they are following the
regulations and meeting the per patient daily staffing requirement. The DON stated the residents would
complain if they do not have enough staff working per shift.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Posting Direct Care Daily Staffing Numbers, reviewed
by the facility's Patient Care Policy Committee on 9/29/2023, indicated that the facility will post daily for
each shift nurse staffing data, including the number of nursing personnel responsible for providing direct
care to residents. The P&P indicated within two hours of the beginning of each shift, the number of licensed
nurses (Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Licensed Vocational Nurses) and the number of
unlicensed nursing personnel (Certified Nursing Assistants and Nursing Assistants) directly responsible for
resident care is posted in a prominent location (accessible to residents and visitors) and in a clear and

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services accurately and
safely to one out of one sampled resident (Resident 48) investigated during review of pharmacy services by
failing to clarify an order of prednisone (a drug used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune
system) prior to administration of the medication to Resident 48.
The deficient practice had resulted to administering an incorrect dose of prednisone for two days, placing
the resident at risk for medical complications.
Cross refereance to F658 and F760.
Findings:
A review of Resident 48's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/9/2024, with
diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition where the body does not have
enough oxygen in the tissues and have too much carbon dioxide in the blood), merkell cell carcinoma (a
very rare disease in which malignant cells form in the skin), and malignant neoplasm (another term for a
cancerous tumor) of prostate.
A review of Resident 48's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/10/2024, indicated the resident had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 1/15/2024, indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others.
A review of Resident 48's Physician and Telephone Order, dated 3/6/2024, indicated an order of prednisone
20ms PO daily.
A review of Resident 48's Order Summary Report, dated 3/8/2024, indicated an order of prednisone oral
tablet 20 milligrams (mg, a unit of mass or weight) (Prednisone). Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day take
with breakfast.
A review of Resident 48's Medication Administration Record for 3/2024, indicated 2 mg of prednisone was
given by mouth one time a day for merkell cell carcinoma on 3/7/2024 and 3/8/2024.
During an interview on 3/19/2024, at 10:04 a.m., with Resident 48, in the resident's room, Resident 48
stated he was not happy with the facility administration and the doctors in the facility. Resident 48 stated the
doctor in the facility stated that he does not need the prednisone 20 mg medication. The resident further
stated he showed the facility doctor the email from the General Acute Care Hospital 2 (GACH 2) doctor
indicating to continue taking prednisone 20 mg daily.
During an interview and record review on 3/21/2024, at 9:17 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1),
reviewed Resident 48's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and physician orders. RN 1 stated
Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) received the prednisone order on 3/6/2024 from the Nurse Practitioner (NP) and
RN 2 entered the order as prednisone 2 mg one time a day. RN 1 stated the telephone order was not
clarified as it contained unapproved abbreviation of milligrams and the dosage was unclear. RN 2

ms but the NP clarified the order as 20 mg. RN 1 stated she corrected the dosage as soon as she clarified
the order with the NP. RN 1 stated the MAR indicated prednisone 2 mg was given on 3/7/2024 and
3/8/2024. RN 1 stated not clarifying a medication order had the potential to result in medication
underdosing or overdosing.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 3/21/2024, at 9:40 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
staff should have clarified the order with the NP or Physician to prevent medication overdosing or under
dosing.
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 9:50 a.m., with the PC, the PC stated the staff should have faxed the
Telephone Order to the pharmacy because the nurse might have read the order incorrectly. The PC stated
the facility could either enter the order electronically or fax the written order. The PC stated it would be safer
to fax the written orders because the pharmacist would be able to detect irregularities in medication orders.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Medication Orders, last reviewed on 9/29/2023,
indicated medications are administered only upon the clear, complete, and signed order of a person
lawfully authorized to prescribe. The prescriber is contacted to verify or clarify an order (e.g., when the
resident has allergies to the medication, there were contraindications to the medication, the directions are
confusing). Transmit the appropriate copy to the pharmacy for dispensing.

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 act upon the recommendations of the consultant
pharmacist and review a resident's medical record for one of one sampled residents investigated under the
antibiotic (medication that inhibits the growth or destroys microorganisms) use care area (Resident 80)
when the facility failed to obtain a stop date from the physician for Resident 80's erythromycin (a type of
antibiotic) ophthalmic (relating to the eye and its diseases) ointment and review the medication during the
February 2024 medication regimen review (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).
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 80 to develop antibiotic resistance (when germs like
bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them) and decrease the efficacy
(the ability to produce a desired or intended result) of antibiotics prescribed in the future.
Cross-reference F757 and F881
Findings:
A review of Resident 80's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident to the facility on
1/29/2024 with diagnoses including, but not limited to, dry eye syndrome (a group of symptoms which
consistent occur together) of unspecified lacrimal gland (gland that secretes tears).
A review of Resident 80's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/8/2024, indicated Resident 80 had moderately impaired vision, was rarely or never understood, and
was dependent on staff for activities of daily living, such as repositioning, transferring between surfaces,
eating, and hygiene.
A review of Resident 80's Order Summary Report, dated 1/29/2024, indicated Resident 80 was ordered
erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five milligrams (mg - a unit of measure) per gram (gm - a unit of
measure) and instill 0.5 inch for both eyes four times a day for eye infection. The order summary report
further indicated the end date was indefinite.
A review of Resident 80's Drug Regimen Review, dated 1/29/2024, indicated the pharmacy consultant
reviewed Resident 80's erythromycin eye ointment and recommended to provide a stop date for the
medication. Further review did not indicate whether the recommendation was acted upon.
A review of Resident 80's Antibiotic Time Out, dated 1/31/2024, indicated an order for erythromycin
ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm, 0.5 inch in both eyes, four times a day. The antibiotic time out
indicated under the section current antibiotic order reviewed with provider (name, dose, route, length) and
provider determination indicated no and continue with current antibiotic therapy. Further review indicated
under the section to verify the total length of antibiotic treatment, including doses already given, was
marked other with no further notes.
A review of Resident 80's Care Plan, dated 1/31/2024, indicated Resident 80 was on erythromycin
ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm for the treatment of eye infection with interventions including providing
treatment as ordered.

infection to the resident between 3/1/2024 to 3/21/2024.
During an interview with the Pharmacy Consultant (PC), on 3/22/2024, at 9:33 a.m., the PC stated the
physician ordered Resident 80 erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm and instill 0.5 inch for both
eyes four times a day for eye infection on 1/29/2024 and the order did not have a stop date. The PC stated
the order was still active. The PC stated the typical indication for use of erythromycin is between five to
seven days, depending on the situation and the resident should not be on the medication anymore. The PC
stated the medication was given excessively and Resident 80 could potentially become resistant to the
antibiotic, which could make it more difficult to treat other infections. The PC further stated she did not know
why she missed the medication on review.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/22/2024, at 2:17 p.m., the DON stated it is
important to follow the recommendations of the PC for antibiotic use to prevent residents from developing
resistance against antibiotics. The DON further stated if residents develop antibiotic resistance, antibiotics
would not be as effective in treating infections.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Regimen Review (Monthly Report),
last reviewed 9/29/2023, indicated recommendations are acted upon and documented by the facility staff
and or the prescriber.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from unnecessary
drugs for one of one sampled resident (Resident 80) investigated under the antibiotic (medication that
inhibits the growth or destroys microorganisms) use care area when Resident 80 was administered
erythromycin (a type of antibiotic) ophthalmic (relating to the eye and its diseases) ointment without a stop
date.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 80 to develop antibiotic resistance (when germs like
bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them) and decrease the efficacy
(the ability to produce a desired or intended result) of antibiotics prescribed in the future.
Cross-reference F756 and F881
Findings:
A review of Resident 80's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident to the facility on
1/29/2024 with diagnoses including dry eye syndrome (a group of symptoms which consistent occur
together) of unspecified lacrimal gland (gland that secretes tears).
A review of Resident 80's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/8/2024, indicated Resident 80 had moderately impaired vision, was rarely or never understood, and
was dependent on staff for activities of daily living, such as repositioning, transferring between surfaces,
eating, and hygiene.
A review of Resident 80's Order Summary Report, dated 1/29/2024, indicated a physician's order for
erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five milligrams (mg - a unit of measure) per gram (gm - a unit of
measure) and instill 0.5 inch for both eyes four times a day for eye infection. The order summary report
further indicated the end date was indefinite.
A review of Resident 80's Drug Regimen Review, dated 1/29/2024, indicated the pharmacy consultant
reviewed Resident 80's erythromycin eye ointment and recommended to provide a stop date for the
medication.
A review of Resident 80's Antibiotic Time Out, dated 1/31/2024, indicated Resident 80 was ordered
erythromycin ophthalmic ointment. The Antibiotic Time Out indicated under the section current antibiotic
order reviewed with provider (name, dose, route, length) and provider determination indicated no and
continue with current antibiotic therapy. Further review indicated under the section to verify the total length
of antibiotic treatment, including doses already given, was marked other with no further notes.
A review of Resident 80's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 1/1/2024 to 1/31/2024, indicated
the facility administered erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm and instill 0.5 inch for both eyes
four times a day for eye infection to the resident between 1/29/2024 to 1/31/2024.
A review of Resident 80's MAR, dated 2/1/2024 to 2/29/2024, indicated the facility administered
erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm and instill 0.5 inch for both eyes four times a day for eye
infection to the resident between 2/1/2024 to 2/29/2024.

A review of Resident 80's MAR, dated 3/1/2024 to 3/31/2024, indicated the facility administered
erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm and instill 0.5 inch for both eyes four times a day for eye
infection to the resident between 3/1/2024 to 3/21/2024.
During an interview with the Pharmacy Consultant (PC), on 3/22/2024, at 9:33 a.m., the PC stated
Resident 80 was ordered erythromycin ophthalmic ointment on 1/29/2024 and the order did not have a stop
date. The PC stated the order was still active. The PC stated the typical indication for use of erythromycin is
between five to seven days, depending on the situation and the resident should not be on the medication
anymore. The PC stated the medication was given excessively and Resident 80 could potentially become
resistant to the antibiotic, which could make it more difficult to treat other infections.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/22/2024, at 2:17 p.m., the DON stated it is
important to follow the recommendations of the PC for antibiotic use to prevent residents from developing
resistance against antibiotics. The DON further stated if residents develop antibiotic resistance, antibiotics
would not be as effective in treating infections.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Consultant Pharmacist Services Provider
Requirements, last reviewed 9/29/2023, indicated a resident's drug regimen review must be free of
unnecessary drugs. The P&P further indicated an unnecessary drug is any drug when used in excessive
duration.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two out of five sampled residents
(Resident 48 and Resident 91) were free from significant medication errors by failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Ensure licensed nurses rotate (a method to ensure repeated injections are not administered in the same
area) subcutaneous (beneath the skin) administration sites of insulin (a hormone that lowers the level of
sugar in the blood) to Resident 48 and Resident 91.
The deficient practice had the potential for adverse effect (unwanted, unintended result) of same site
subcutaneous administration of insulin such as lipodystrophy (abnormal distribution of fat) and cutaneous
amyloidosis (a rare disease that occurs when a protein called amyloid builds up in organs).
2. Ensure licensed nurses clarified the order for prednisone for Resident 48 dated 3/6/2024 from the Nurse
Practitioner (NP) before administration of medication to Resident 48.
The deficient practice resulted in a medication error due to licensed nurse administered the wrong dosage
of prednisone to Resident 48 for two days.
Cross reference to F658 and F755
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 48's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/9/2024, with
diagnoses including prediabetes (a serious health condition where the blood sugar levels are higher than
normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes [ a disease that occurs when the blood
sugar is too high]), abnormal glucose (also called blood sugar), and merkell cell carcinoma (a very rare
disease in which malignant cells form in the skin).
A review of Resident 48's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/10/2024, indicated the resident had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 1/15/2024, indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated the resident was on insulin injection.
A review of Resident 48's Order Summary Report indicated the following orders:
- 1/10/2024 Insulin Lispro (1 Unit Dial) Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector 100 unit per milliliter (unit/ml, a
unit of fluid volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter) (Insulin Lispro). Inject as per sliding scale (the
increasing administration of the pre-meal insulin dose based on the blood sugar level before the meal): if 60
- 150 = 0 unit (the standard amount required for a precise measured of activity); 151 - 200 = 2 unit; 201 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 - 400 = 10 units, subcutaneously before meals
and at bedtime for type 2 diabetes Mellitus (DM). For finger stick blood sugar (FSBS, is a simple, common,
safe blood test that can diagnose prediabetes and diabetes) greater than (>) 400 give 12 units; Notify
MD if Blood Sugar 400 or below 60; Give Insulin 5-10 min before mealtime, may give orange juice 8 ounces
(oz, a unit of weight that is equal to one-sixteenth of a pound) or glucose gel orally (PO) if Blood Sugar

to fax the written orders because the pharmacist would be able to detect irregularities in medication orders.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Medication Orders, last reviewed on 9/29/2023,
indicated medications are administered only upon the clear, complete, and signed order of a person
lawfully authorized to prescribe. The prescriber is contacted to verify or clarify an order (e.g., when the
resident has allergies to the medication, there are contraindications to them medication, the directions are
confusing). Transmit the appropriate copy to the pharmacy for dispensing.
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 12:54 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated when they receive orders
from the MD and the NP, the nurse will place the orders electronically. The DON stated the medication
ordered will be sent within 4 hours to the facility. The DON stated they do not fax orders to the pharmacy.
The DON stated the nurse should have called the MD or NP if the nurse needed clarification of the order for
the safety of the resident.

During a concurrent interview, LVN 3 stated the Lorazepam oral concentrate bottle for Resident 27 was not
open and stored at room temperature. LVN 3 stated according to the label on the Lorazepam bottle, the
bottle should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain potency (effectiveness.) LVN 3 stated this bottle is
now considered expired and should not be used due to storage conditions against the manufacturer
recommendations. LVN 3 stated if the Lorazepam is used in error, it will be ineffective and will not treat
Resident 27's anxiety and agitation and can further escalate the resident's anxiety and agitation. LVN 3
stated the Albuterol vials for Resident 2 was stored outside of the foil pouch and not labeled with a date
when storage outside the pouch began, the Levalbuterol foil pouch for Resident 28 was open and not
labeled with a date indicating when the pouch was opened, the Ipratropium vials for Resident 60 was
stored outside of the foil pouch. LVN 3 stated not knowing when the inhalation vials were opened, used, or
stored outside the foil pouch, the expiration dates are unknown which can lead to the administration of
expired and ineffective medication in error to Residents 2, 28, and 60, and can cause harm by not treating
the shortness of breath, wheezing and COPD,

causing breathing difficulty, stoppage of breathing, and may require hospitalization. LVN 3 stated per facility
policy and procedures multi-dose (used for more than one dose) medications like the inhalation solutions
should be labeled with the date when first opened and used to know when they expire. LVN 3 stated the
lorazepam bottle, Albuterol, Ipratropium and Levalbuterol vials need to be discarded and replaced with new
ones from pharmacy.
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation on 3/19/2024 at 2:04 pm in the Medication Room, in the presence of LVN 3, the
following medications were found expired and not discarded, and stored contrary to facility policies:
1.
Two unopened Amikcain (an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections) ophthalmic (used for the eye)
bottles for Resident 42 was found stored in the refrigerator and labeled with an expiration date of 3/3/2024.
According to the pharmacy label affixed to bottles and the bag the bottles were stored in, the Amikacin
ophthalmic bottles should be used and discarded after 3/3/2024.
2.
One opened vial of Afluria (an influenza [also known as flu] vaccine [a substance that provides immunity to
an infectious disease] used to provide protection against the flu vaccine for the 2023 -2024 flu season) for
facility stock was found stored in the refrigerator and labeled with a date indicating that use of the vial
began on 12/28/2023.
According to the manufacturer storage and labeling, once the Afluria multi-use vial is used it should be
discarded within 28 days.
During a concurrent interview, LVN 3 stated that the Amikacin ophthalmic bottles for Resident 41 expired on
3/3/2024 and the Afluria vial expired on 1/25/2024 and both need to be removed from facility and placed in
the expired medication bin to be disposed of to not accidentally be used for residents. LVN 3 also stated
both medications have short expiration dates because they are sterile (free from bacteria or viruses)
medications and should be used within the expiration time to prevent additional infections because of
decreased sterility. LVN 3 stated that expired medications remaining in the facility are a concern as they can
be accidentally used and not be effective in treating Resident 42's eye infection, and not provide protection
to the flu virus for all the residents receiving the flu vaccine in the facility.
During an interview on 3/19/2024 at 2:43 pm, the DON stated per facility policy, multi-dose medications,
such as inhalation solutions need to be labeled with the date when opened, and the vials to remain in the
foil pouch to protect from light and maintain potency. The DON stated without an open date label it is
unknown until when the medication can be used for. The DON stated inhalation solutions are usually
discarded within 2 weeks of opening the foil pouch. The DON stated using medications beyond the
expiration date will not be effective in treating residents' SOB, wheezing, COPD due to the diminished
(decreased) potency, and can harm Residents 2, 28, and 60 by causing difficulty in breathing potentially
leading to hospitalization. The DON stated these medications are considered expired, should not be used,
removed from the medication carts, and replaced immediately with new ones from pharmacy. The DON
stated several LVNs failed to label multi-dose medications with the date opened

and store the unused vials in the foil pouch, which can potentially lead to the accidental use of expired
medications and harm residents. The DON stated the Lorazepam oral concentrate for Resident 27 was not
stored in the refrigerator as indicated on the bottle. The DON stated that inappropriate storage can cause
the medication to lose its potency and be ineffective, causing Resident 27 to experience anxiety and
agitation. The DON also stated both Amikacin ophthalmic bottles for Resident 42 and the open Afluria flu
vaccine vial were expired and needed to be removed from the medication room and be discarded in the
waste container not to be used accidentally in error. The DON stated administering expired Amikacin to
Resident 42 will not only be ineffective in treating the eye infection but can also cause additive infection as
expired ophthalmic medications are no longer sterile. The DON stated administering expired Afluria vaccine
to residents will not provide any protection from the flu. The DON stated several LVNs failed to store
Lorazepam in the refrigerator and failed to remove expired medications from the refrigerator which can
potentially lead to the accidental use of expired medications and harm residents.
During an observation on 3/20/2024 at 10:47 pm, in Medication Cart Middle, in the presence of LVN 4, the
following medications were found either stored in a manner contrary to their respective manufacturer's
requirements, not labeled with an open date as required by their respective manufacturer's specifications,
or stored and labeled contrary to facility policies:
1.
One unopen insulin Novolin R Flexpen for Resident 17 was found stored at room temperature and not
labeled with a date on which use at room temperature began, and an additional label from pharmacy
indicating to refrigerate until used.
According to the manufacturer's product labeling, opened Novolin R Flexpen should be stored at room
temperature below 86 degrees Fahrenheit and used or discarded within 28 days of opening or once storage
at room temperature began.
2.
One unopen insulin Lispro Kwikpen for Resident 46 was found stored at room temperature, and not labeled
with a date on which use at room temperature began, and an additional label from pharmacy indicating to
refrigerate until used.
According to the manufacturer's product labeling, opened Lispro Kwikpen should be stored at room
temperature below 86 degrees Fahrenheit and used or discarded within 28 days of opening or once storage
at room temperature began.
During a concurrent interview, LVN 4 stated the Novolin R Flexpen for Resident 17, and the Lispro Kwikpen
for Resident 46 were not labeled with the date when storage at room temperature began. LVN 4 stated all
multi-dose medications like insulin pens need to be labeled with a date when first used or brought to room
temperature or should be stored in the fridge until used. LVN 4 stated these insulin pens are considered
expired as LVN 4 is unaware when the pens were stored at room temperature and when they expire. LVN 4
stated insulins at room temperature are good for 28 days and can be used in error after that date if not
labeled with the date when stored at room temperature began. LVN 4 stated administering expired insulin is
not effective in treating residents blood sugar levels and can harm Resident 17 and 46 causing high blood
sugar levels leading to coma (a life-threatening complication that can result from very high blood sugar or
very low blood sugar levels) and hospitalization.

During an interview on 3/20/24 12:03 PM, the DON stated that the unopened insulin Novolin R Flexpen for
Resident 17 and Lispro Kwikpen for Resident 46 should be stored in the refrigerator or labeled with a date
when they came to storage at room temperate and discarded within 28 days. The DON stated insulins
without a label indicating the date of use or storage at room temperate are considered expired, should not
be used, and removed from medication carts. The DON stated several LVNs failed to store unopen insulin
pens in the refrigerator or label with a date indicating when storage at room temperature began, which can
potentially lead to the administration of expired insulin to residents leading to medication errors. The DON
stated administering expired insulin to residents will not be effective in controlling the blood sugar levels and
can harm residents by causing high blood sugar levels, leading to confusion, shock, and hospitalization.
The DON stated these insulin pens need to be replaced with new ones from pharmacy because of
improper storage.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to incorporate resident's food preferences for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 57) being investigated under food preferences by failing to serve prune juice
on his breakfast tray on 3/19/2024.
This deficient practice denied Resident 57 of his right for food preferences.
Findings:
A review of Resident 57's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/13/2022, and
readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including moderate protein-calorie malnutrition (a nutritional status in
which reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in body composition and function), dysphagia
(swallowing difficulties), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (is a disease that occurs when the blood glucose, also
blood sugar, is too high).
A review of Resident 57's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/26/2024, indicated the resident did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/19/2023, indicated the resident usually makes self understood and understand others. The MDS
indicated Resident 57 required supervision or touching assistance on eating.
A review of Resident 57's Resident Detail, dated 12/20/2023, indicated prune juice 4 fluid ounces (fl oz, a
unit of measuring liquid volume or capacity) during breakfast Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday under preferences.
A review of Resident 57's Order Summary Report, dated 11/10/2023, indicated an order of constant
carbohydrate (CCHO, consistent, constant, or controlled carbohydrate diet), no added salt (NAS) diet,
mechanical soft texture (a texture-modified diet that restricts foods that are difficult to chew or swallow), thin
consistency (no additive, includes all liquids and is non-restrictive), and large portion.
A review of Resident 57's Care Plan titled, Resident has alteration in nutritional status., last revised on
10/26/2023, indicated an intervention to adhere to food preferences.
During an interview on 3/19/2024, at 10:15 a.m., Resident 57 stated his frustration regarding the dietary
department. Resident 57 stated that he has been asking for prune juice every breakfast every day but the
dietary keeps forgetting to send the prune juice to him. Resident 57 stated that this morning (3/19/2024)
there was no prune juice on his tray.
During an interview on 3/19/2024, at 10:26 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) stated he was the
one who served the breakfast tray to Resident 57 and there was no prune juice on Resident 57's tray this
morning. CNA 5 stated that it was indicated on the diet ticket that prune juice was his preference.
A review of Resident 57's Diet Meal Ticket, dated 3/20/2024, indicated on the notes that Resident

During an interview on 3/21/2023, at 11:29 a.m., the Dietary Supervisor (DS) stated there was lack of
prune juice on the weekends. The DS stated he does not work on weekends and there was no other way to
get the resident prune juice when it runs out during weekends. The DS stated the next delivery of prune
juice was Monday (3/19/2024) but it was not delivered. The DS stated it was important to honor food
preferences because it was their right. The DS also stated honoring resident's food preferences will make
the residents feel satisfied with their food and they will eat more.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 3/22/2024, at 1:13 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was
important to honor resident's preferences because it was their right and to encourage them to eat more.
The DON stated the DS should make sure the prune juice was available every day.
A review of the facility's recent policy and procedure titled, Resident Food Preferences, last reviewed on
9/29/2023, indicated individual food preferences will be assessed upon admission and communicated to
the interdisciplinary team. Modifications to diet will only be ordered with the resident's or representative's
consent. The admission Nutritional Assessment Form is to be initiated by the Dietary Service Supervisor on
each new resident within 3 days of admission.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
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 and sanitary food
storage and food preparation practices in the kitchen by:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Failing to ensure 13 clear plastic containers of blueberries and one container of strawberries with white
patches were discarded timely.
2. Failing to ensure three bottles of spices were labeled when they were opened.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross-contamination
(the physical movement of transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object, or place to another) that
could lead to foodborne illness (any illness of a toxic or infectious nature contracted through consumption of
contaminated water or food) in 92 out of 95 medically compromised residents who receive food from the
kitchen.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview accompanied by the Dietary Supervisor (DS), observed
during a kitchen tour are the following:
13 clear plastic containers of blueberries and 1 container of strawberries with white gray patches.
3 bottles of spices did not indicate the label of when they were opened.
The DS stated the white gray patches on the fruits were molds (a type of fungi that cause food spoilage).
The DS stated the fruits had signs of spoilage and should have been discarded for food safety and follow
food protocol which placed the residents at risk for food borne illness. The DS stated the bottles of spices
should have been labeled when they were opened. The DS stated the label should have been reapplied if
they came off the bottle and can be used up to one year from date opened. The DS stated it was important
for food items to be labeled with the date they were opened for staff to know when to discard and to ensure
that they were using non-expired food condiments and seasonings.
During an interview on 3/22/2024 at 2:40 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated food items in the
kitchen should have been checked according to their schedule to ensure no signs of spoilage with the fruits
and/or vegetables and other food items to avoid giving vulnerable residents food items that are not good
anymore which may lead to the residents getting sick. The DON stated the bottle of spices should have a
label to indicate when they were opened to ensure that they were using non-expired food condiments and
seasonings.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Storage of cans and Dry Goods, last reviewed
9/29/2024, indicated food and supplies will be stored properly and in a safe manner. The policy indicated

Residents Affected - Some
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
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records that are complete and accurately
documented for one of three (Resident 90) sampled residents investigated during medication regimen
review by failing to maintain accurate documentation of Resident 90's Klonopin (a prescription drug used to
treat anxiety [persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities]) ordered on 3/1/2024 and
3/4/2024.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the resident's medical record containing inaccurate
documentation.
Findings:
A review of Resident 90's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on
1/3/2024 and readmitted the resident on 2/5/2024 with diagnoses including anxiety disorder and
unspecified mood (affective) disorder (mental health condition marked by disruptions in emotions [severe
lows or highs]).
A review of Resident 90's History and Physical, dated 2/6/2024, indicated the resident has the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 90's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/11/2024, indicated the resident understood others and made self-understood.
A review of Resident 90's physician orders indicated the following:
Klonopin oral tablet 0.5 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), give 0.5 mg by mouth two times a day for
anxiety manifested by constant screaming and yelling, order dated 3/4/2024.
Klonopin oral tablet 0.5 mg, give one tablet by mouth at bedtime for anxiety manifested by constant
screaming and yelling, order dated 3/4/2024.
A review of Consolidated Delivery Sheets: Controlled Substances, dated 3/7/2024, indicated a delivery was
made for Resident 90's clonazepam (generic name for Klonopin) 0.5 mg tablet, 14 tablets on 3/7/2024.
During an interview on 3/22/2024 at 10:00 a.m., the Medical Records Director stated the consolidated
delivery sheets dated 3/7/2024 was the only delivery made for Resident 90's Klonopin for the orders placed
on 3/1/2024 and 3/4/2024.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/22/2024 at 10:23 a.m., reviewed Resident 90's
physician orders, nursing progress notes, and [DATE]/2024 with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1). LVN

Residents Affected - Some
purpose of ensuring accurate documentation is ensure medications were given as ordered. LVN 1 stated if
the resident's medications were not available but was documented as given there is a potential for the
resident's behavior to get worse and for Resident 90 would exhibit more screaming behaviors. LVN 1 stated
from 3/1/2024 to 3/6/2024 there were a total of five opportunities that should have not been signed as given
because Klonopin was not available at that time and there was no physician order to obtain the dose from
the emergency kit.
During an interview on 3/22/2024 at 12:38 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the licensed nurses
should not sign the medication as given when it is not available. The DON stated licensed nurses
administering medications are expected to document accurately and follow the standard of practice. The
DON stated when licensed nurses document the medication as given but was not available the resident
may exhibit increased behavior of yelling or screaming.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication and Treatment Administration
Record, reviewed by the facility's Patient Care Policy Committee on 9/29/2023, indicated medications and
treatments shall be administered as prescribed by the physician and shall be recorded by the responsible
licensed nurse as the medication is provided. The P&P indicated the attending physician shall be notified in
the event an order cannot be administered or prescribed.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one of seven sampled
residents (Resident 12) investigated under the infection control care area when Housekeeper (HK) 1 was
observed cleaning Resident 12's bathroom without wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE - protective clothing used to protect the wearer's body from infection), when Resident 12 was placed
under enhanced standard precautions (ESP - a resident-centered and activity-based approach for
preventing multi drug resistant organism transmission in skilled nursing facilities).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for transmission of infection to staff and other residents.
Findings:
A review of Resident 12's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 12 on
10/11/2023 and readmitted the resident on 2/24/2024 with diagnoses including gastrostomy status (a
surgical opening into the stomach that may be used for feeding).
A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/20/2023, indicated Resident 12 had moderately impaired cognition (the mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses), required
moderate assistance with oral hygiene, upper body dressing, and personal hygiene, required maximal
assistance with lower body dressing, putting on or taking off footwear, rolling left and right in bed, sitting to
lying, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, and sitting to standing, and was dependent on staff for toileting
hygiene, shower or bathing self, and chair or bed-to-chair transfers. The MDS further indicated Resident 12
received 51% or more of calories (a unit of energy used to express the nutritional value of food) and 501
milliliters (ml - a unit of measure) or more fluids through tube feeding.
A review of Resident 12's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/17/2023, indicated Resident 12 did not
have the capacity to understand and make decisions, and received gastrostomy tube feeding.
A review of Resident 12's Order Summary Report, dated 2/22/2024, indicated Resident 12 was ordered a
full liquid diet, full liquid texture, thin consistency, on top of gastrostomy tube (tube inserted through a
surgical opening into the stomach) feeding as tolerated.
During an observation, on 3/19/2024, at 9:17 a.m., inside Resident 12's room, HK 1 was observed wearing
a surgical mask and gloves while cleaning the resident's bathroom. HK 1 was observed not wearing an
isolation gown while cleaning the bathroom. Outside the room, next to the doorway to Resident 12's room,
signage indicating ESP was posted. The ESP signage indicated everyone must clean hands on room entry
and when exiting and providers and staff must also wear gloves and a gown for the high contact resident
care activities, including cleaning the environment.
During an interview with HK 1, on 3/19/2024, at 9:20 a.m., HK 1 stated she was cleaning Resident 12's
bathroom. HK 1 stated she was not wearing an isolation gown while cleaning the bathroom. HK 1 further
stated she did not need to wear anything while cleaning inside the room.

During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP), on 3/21/2024, at 3:36 p.m., the IP stated Resident
12 is on ESP because of her gastrostomy tube. The IP stated residents are placed on ESP if the residents
have any medical devices, such as a gastrostomy tube, are on antibiotics (medication that inhibits the
growth or destroys microorganisms), or if they have a history of multi drug resistant organisms. The IP
stated the PPE required for ESP rooms include gowns and gloves. The IP stated housekeeping needs to
wear an isolation gown and gloves while cleaning the environment. The IP stated it is important for
housekeeping to wear PPE while cleaning to limit transmission between the environment and themselves.
The IP further stated if housekeeping staff do not wear the appropriate PPE while cleaning, they can
transmit organisms on themselves and to others.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 3/22/2024, at 2:17 p.m., the DON stated the
PPE required in an ESP room are gown and gloves. The DON stated PPE is required during resident
contact and when cleaning the environment. The DON further stated it is important to wear the correct PPE
to protect themselves and not transmit any infections to staff, residents, and or roommates.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Enhanced Standard Precautions, last reviewed
9/29/2023, indicated ESPs are used as an infection prevention and control intervention to reduce the
spread of multi-drug resistant organisms acquisition (e.g. Residents with wounds or indwelling medical
devices).
A review of the ESP signage provided by the facility, dated 9/8/2021, indicated everyone must clean hands
on room entry and when exiting and providers and staff must also wear gloves and gown for high contact
resident care activities including activities of daily living, toileting & changing incontinence briefs, caring for
devices & giving medical treatments, wound care, mobility assistance & preparing to leave the room, and
cleaning the environment.

Resident 80's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/29/2024 with diagnoses
including dry eye syndrome (a group of symptoms which consistent occur together) of unspecified lacrimal
gland (gland that secretes tears).
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 80's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/8/2024, indicated Resident 80 had moderately impaired vision, was rarely or never understood, and
was dependent on staff for activities of daily living, such as repositioning, transferring between surfaces,

erythromycin ophthalmic ointment five mg per gm and instill 0.5 inch for both eyes four times a day for eye
infection on 1/29/2024 and the order did not have a stop date. The PC stated the order was still active. The
PC stated the typical indication for use of erythromycin is between five to seven days, depending on the
situation and the resident should not be on the medication anymore. The PC stated the medication was
given excessively and Resident 80 could potentially become resistant to the antibiotic, which could make it
more difficult to treat other infections. The PC further stated she did not know why she missed the
medication on review.
During an interview with the DON, on 3/22/2024, at 2:17 p.m., the DON stated it is important to follow the
recommendations of the PC for antibiotic use to prevent residents from developing resistance against
antibiotics. The DON further stated if residents develop antibiotic resistance, antibiotics would not be as
effective in treating infections.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Antibiotic Stewardship, last reviewed 9/29/2023, indicated if an antibiotic
is indicated, prescribers will provide complete antibiotic orders including the following elements:
a. drug name
b. dose
c. frequency of administration
d. duration of treatment:
1. start and stop date; or
2. Number of days of therapy
e. route of administration
f. indications for use
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its Antibiotic Stewardship Program
([ASP]-a set of commitments and actions designed to improve the use of antibiotics [a medication used to
treat bacterial infections]) for one of three sampled residents investigated under the medication
administration care area (Resident 54) and for one of seven sampled residents investigated under the
infection control care area (Resident 80) when the facility failed to follow its Antibiotic Stewardship policy
and procedure (P&P) for Resident 54's Bactrim (an antibiotic used for urinary tract infection [UTI - an
infection in the system of organs that makes urine]) order and Resident 80's erythromycin (a type of
antibiotic) order.
These deficient practices had the potential for inappropriate antibiotic therapy, of increasing the risk of
adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have) and leading to
antibiotic resistance (the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic) for
Resident 57 and Resident 80.

Bactrim.
During a review of Resident 57's Medication Administration record ([MAR] - a record of medications
administered to residents) for November 2023, indicated Resident 57's physician prescribed Bactrim
Double Strength (DS) 800-160 milligram ([mg] - a unit of measure of mass) to give one tablet by mouth
every morning for UTI prophylaxis (treatment given with the intention of preventing infection) starting
11/15/2023 at 9:00 AM. The physician order did not indicate a stop date (a date of completion) or days of
therapy for the Bactrim DS order.
During a review of Resident 57's MAR for 3/2024, the MAR indicated Bactrim DS Double Strength 800-160
mg to give one tablet by mouth every morning for recurrent UTI continued to be administered since
11/15/2023.
During a review of Resident 57's Complete Blood Count ([CBC] - a laboratory test to check for [NAME]
Blood Counts [WBC] that indicate infection) results on 11/28/2023, 2/8/2024, 2/9/2024 and 3/19/2024, the
results indicated WBC of 5,080 per microliter ([ul] - unit of measure of volume), 5,010 per ul, 5,260 per ul
and 5,360 per ul respectively. According to the laboratory reported reference range, the normal WBC range
falls between 4,000 and 11,000 per ul.
During a review of Resident 57's Infection Risk and Standard Precautions Risk Assessment document,
dated 1/14/2024 at 7 pm, the document indicated that Resident 57 did not have a current active infection.
During a review of Resident 57's clinical record, the clinical record did not include documentation for the
days of therapy or stop date for Bactrim DS that started on 11/15/2023 and did not include documentation
of antibiotic surveillance tracking (a form used to track the use of antibiotic for residents in the facility,) or
any additional urine cultures.
During an interview on 3/19/2024 at 2:38 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated the
Bactrim DS order for Resident 57 does not indicate a stop date or days of therapy. LVN 1 stated for UTI
prophylaxis, Bactrim is usually ordered for 7 days.
During an interview on 03/20/2024 at 11:21 a.m., with Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated the Bactrim
DS order for Resident 57 prescribed on 11/15/2023 does not indicate a stop date or days of therapy and
that antibiotics ordered for prophylaxis should not be continued for long. The IP stated as part of the ASP
program the IP initiates an Antibiotic surveillance tracking form to assess the appropriateness of the
antibiotic and if it meets Mcgeers (set of criteria used to determine true infection) criteria. The IP stated that
the IP overlooked to monitor Resident 57's Bactrim DS order from 11/15/2023 to ensure it had a stop date
or duration of therapy and failed to initiate the Antibiotic Surveillance tracking form. The IP stated the only
urine culture for Resident 57 was from GACH

4 laboratory results from 10/23/2023 indicating MRSA in the urine and that no subsequent cultures have
been ordered since. The IP stated the CBC results from 11/28/2023, 2/8/2024, 2/9/2024 and 3/19/2024
indicate that WBC counts are normal and the Infection Risk and Standard Precautions Risk Assessment on
1/14/2024 indicate Resident 57 does not have an active infection. The IP stated according to the WBC
counts, Infection Risk and Standard Precautions Risk Assessment, and Resident 57 being afebrile (free
from fever) with normal vital signs (clinical measurements that include heart rate, temperature etc), there
was no reason to continue the Bactrim DS order until now. The IP stated administering Bactrim DS without
a need for a long duration can lead to MDRO and cause harm to Resident 57's kidneys (pair of organs
found below the rib cage in the back that filter waste materials out of the blood and pass them out of body
as urine.)
During an interview on 3/20/2024 at 4 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that the
goal of ASP is to reduce and prevent MDRO, and that giving antibiotics to residents without valid indication
is leading to an increase in MDRO's. The DON stated that all antibiotic orders should have a stop date or
days of therapy, especially for prophylactic antibiotics. The DON stated it is inappropriate to continue
antibiotics without a clinical need, without cultures or laboratory results indicating an infection. The DON
stated that the IP failed to follow the ASP policy and program for Resident 57's Bactrim DS order and failed
to follow-up to identify days of therapy or continued need of the antibiotic. The DON stated using antibiotics
without a need for an extended time can harm Resident 57 by negatively affecting the kidneys and leading
to MDRO's.
During an interview on 03/21/2024 at 4:32 p.m., with the Pharmacy Consultant (PC), the PC stated that the
Bactrim DS order for Resident 57 should have a stop date or days of therapy and Resident 57 should have
laboratory test results indicating the need for continuation of the Bactrim DS until now. The PC stated
Resident 57 did not have additional urine cultures after 10/23/2023 or any urinalysis (laboratory
examination of urine) to monitor the need for the continuation of the Bactrim DS order, and several CBC
results indicate normal WBC counts. The CP stated the IP was responsible for reviewing Resident 57's
Bactrim DS order on 11/15/2023, completing the Antibiotic surveillance tracking form to identify if the
Bactrim DS order meet McGeers criteria, and communicating with the physician for days of therapy. The PC
stated that the PC had reviewed Resident 57's Bactrim DS order back in November 2023 but had not done
any follow-ups for the continued need or days of therapy since then. The PC stated the PC will recommend
to the physician today to indicate a stop date or duration of therapy for the Bactrim DS order and to monitor
for the need for the continuation of the Bactrim DS. The PC stated administering prophylactic antibiotics for
too long without any reason will damage Resident 57's kidneys, as well as build antibiotic resistance.
Review of facility's P&P titled, Antibiotic Stewardship, dated 4/2023, the P&P indicated that Antibiotics will
be prescribed and administered to residents under the guidance of the facility's antibiotic stewardship
program.
1. The purpose of our Antibiotic Stewardship Program is to monitor the use of antibiotics in our residents.
2. Orientation, training, and education of staff will emphasize the importance of antibiotic stewardship and

Give their staff education on dementia care, and what abuse, neglect, and exploitation are; and how to
report abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's in-service training
program by failing to monitor the mandatory in-service (training) attendance, including abuse-related and
dementia (a collection of symptoms that affect the mind, where there has been some loss of contact with
reality) training, of four of four Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA 1, CNA 2, CNA 3, and CNA 4)
investigated under sufficient and competent staffing.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in an increased risk of failing to recognize and properly
handle instances of abuse or neglect towards residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/22/2024 at 9 a.m., reviewed the following in-services
and the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated:

4/13/2023 - Elder abuse prevention P&P, CNA 1 and CNA 4 did not attend.
11/4/2023 - Prevention of abuse and mistreatment, CNA 1, CNA 2, CNA 3, and CNA 4 did not attend.
12/2/2023 - Dementia Abuse Prevention, CNA 1, CNA 2, and CNA 3 did not attend.
1/11/2024 - Dementia in Long-Term Care, CNA 2 and CNA 3 did not attend.
1/16/2024 - Elder abuse, CNA 3 and CNA 4 did not attend.
During an interview on 3/22/2024 at 9:08 a.m., the DSD stated their in-service program policy indicated that
it is the CNA's responsibility to attend the required in-services. The DSD stated she keeps track who
attended the required in-services. The DSD stated the DSD Assistant (DSDA) has a log of who attended
the required in-services. The DSD stated they have makeup days that CNAs could attend, and she verbally
informs the staff who missed the scheduled in-service.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/22/2024 at 11 a.m., reviewed CNA 1, CNA 2, CNA 3,
