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
interview and record review, the facility failed to initiate and implement resident-centered nursing care plans
for one of three sampled residents, when:
1. A nursing care plan was not initiated when Resident 1 developed a urinary tract infection (UTI- when
bacteria enter the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by
bacteria from the bowel); and,
2. Nursing care plan interventions were not implemented when Resident 1 experienced constipation for
three days
These failures had the potential to worsen or delay improvement of Resident 1's medical conditions.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's admission Record, printed 4/10/25, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis (hemiplegia is a severe condition
involving paralysis on one side of the body, while hemiparesis is a milder form of weakness on one side) of
the right dominant side, vascular dementia (a type of dementia caused by impaired blood flow to the brain,
leading to damage and eventual loss of brain cells), anxiety, and muscle weakness.
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized, comprehensive assessment tool used
in long-term care facilities to evaluate residents' health status and functional capabilities), dated 1/14/25,
indicated Resident 1 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status-a standardized cognitive assessment
used in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to quickly screen for cognitive impairment,
particularly dementia) of four (4), indicating severe cognitive deficit.
1.
A record review of Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 4/2/25 at 15:01 p.m., indicated Resident 1 left the
facility with her sister.
A record review of Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 4/2/25 at 20:12 p.m., indicated Resident 1's sister
called the facility to tell them Resident 1 was at Santa [NAME] Memorial Hospital due to stomach pain.

A record review of Resident 1's Providence After Visit Summary, dated 4/2/25, indicated Resident 1
received blood and urine testing, and a computed tomography scan (CT scan - a medical imaging
technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body) of the abdomen. Resident
1 was diagnosed with an acute (a condition or illness that has a sudden onset and relatively short duration)
UTI with abdominal pain and was treated with intravenous (existing or taking place within, or administered
into, a vein or veins) fluids, pain medications and an antibiotic (medications that specifically target and
eliminate bacteria causing infections in humans and animals) injection. Resident 1 was then discharged
back to the facility via ambulance at 12:45 a.m. on 4/3/25.
A review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 4/10/25, indicated Resident 1 was prescribed the
following: Cefpodoxime Proxetil (used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body) Oral
Tablet 200 mg (milligram-a unit of measure), give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for UTI for 10 days.
Order date 4/3/25, end date 4/13/25.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/10/25 at 2:51
p.m., the DON acknowledged nursing staff did not initiate a nursing care plan for Resident 1's UTI or for
antibiotic treatment. The DON stated this slipped by because the condition was found by an outside
hospital, and Resident 1 arrived back at the facility late at night. The DON also stated a UTI care plan was
important because it directed nursing staff in appropriate interventions.
During an interview on 4/10/25 at 3:35 p.m. with Licensed Vocation Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated Resident
1 was still on antibiotic treatment for UTI and was doing well. LVN 1 acknowledged there was no nursing
care plan for Resident 1's UTI, and this was not facility policy. LVN 1 stated many nursing interventions,
such as increased water intake and observing for signs of systemic (affecting the entire body) infection,
were typical interventions in a UTI care plan, and nursing staff should have notified the DON that the care
plan was missing.
During a review of facility policy and procedure (P & P) titled, Urinary Tract Infections/Bacteriuria-Clinical
Protocol, dated 1/2018, it indicated, empirical treatment should be based on documented description of an
individual's symptoms and on consideration of relevant test results, co-existing conditions, and pertinent
risk factors, and, .nursing staff will review the status of individuals who are being treated and adjust
treatment accordingly.
During a review of facility P & P titled, Care Plans – Comprehensive Person Centered, dated 1/2018,
it indicated, the nurse and/or the interdisciplinary team must review and update the care plan: a. when there
has been a significant change in the resident's condition .
2.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/10/25 at 3:15 p.m. with the DON, Resident 1's
Progress Notes, dated 1/15/25, and the Medication Administration Report (MAR- keeps track of every dose
that the individual takes or misses for whatever reason) for January 2025, were reviewed. The DON agreed
Resident 1 did not have a bowel movement (BM) for three days on 1/15/25, but no bowel care medications
were administered. The DON stated facility bowel protocol was to implement specific interventions if a
resident did not have a BM in three days.
During a record review of Resident 1's Care Plan Report, printed 4/10/25, it indicated interventions for
constipation instructed, administer Dulcolax (rectally inserted medicine used to relieve constipation), Fleet's
enema (liquid is inserted into the rectum and colon through the anus), and MOM

(Milk of Magnesia- Magnesium hydroxide, used to orally treat occasional constipation in children and adults
on a short-term basis) as ordered .Follow facility bowel protocol for bowel management.
During a record review of Resident 1's Order Details, dated 7/10/24, it indicated the following, Milk of
Magnesia (MOM) Suspension 1200 mg/ml (milliliter-a unit of measure) by mouth; give 30 ml by mouth as
needed for bowel care management/bowel care; give 30 ml PO (by mouth) if no bowel movement in 3 days
in the evening, and Dulcolax Suppository 10 mg rectally; insert 1 suppository rectally as needed for bowel
care management/bowel care; give 1 suppository if no (sic) MOM is ineffective on NOC (night) shift.
During an interview on 4/10/25 at 3:35 p.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated bowel care, including suppository
administration, was done and documented by Licensed Nursing staff, not Certified Nursing Assistants
(CNAs), and bowel care intervention is triggered in the electronic medical record (EHR) if a resident has not
had a BM in three days.
During an interview on 4/10/25 at 3:15 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated she did not know if Resident 1
failed to receive bowel care management per the nursing care plan on 1/15/25, or if the nurse just failed to
document it.
A record review of facility P & P titled, Bowel (Lower Gastrointestinal Tract) Disorders – Clinical
Protocol, dated 1/2018, indicated, treatment/management: the physician will identify and order
cause-specific and symptomatic interventions; for example institute a regimen to prevent constipation.
