Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a complete and accurate informed consent was
obtained prior to the administration of psychotherapeutic medication (prescription drugs designed to
manage mental and emotional disorders by altering the brain's chemical makeup and nervous system) for
one of five sampled residents (Resident 3) when Resident 3, who was her own representative party (RP-a
person designated to received updates of resident's care and make decisions), did not sign an informed
consent and was administered clonazepam (psychotherapeutic medication used to manage anxiety
disorders) 0.5 milligrams (mg- a unit of measurement for medication dosage).This failure resulted in
Resident 3's clonazepam informed consent not being complete and accurate prior to administration which
lead to Resident 3 not being fully informed prior to receiving psychotherapeutic medication. During a review
of Resident 3's admission Record (AR - a summary of information regarding a patient which includes
patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact information and
other pertinent information), dated 2/19/26, the AR indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses of rhabdomyolysis (rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle releasing toxins into the
blood), spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal), chronic pain syndrome, and anxiety disorder (excessive,
persistent fear or worry). During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment
tool used to identify cognitive [mental processes] and physical functional level assessment), dated 2/6/26 ,
the MDS indicated Resident 3 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - a test given by medical
professionals to determine cognitive (involving the process of thinking, learning and understanding)
understanding on a scale of 1-15 ) score of 15 (a score of 0-7 suggests severe cognitive impairment, 8-12
suggests moderately impaired, 13-15 suggests cognitively intact), which suggested Resident 3 was
cognitively intact.During a review of Resident 3's Medical Record, dated 2/19/26, the Order Listing Report
(OLR), indicated Resident 3 had an order for clonazepam 0.5 mg every 12 hours, as needed (PRN), for
anxiety, from 2/5/26 to 2/17/26. The OLR indicated Resident 12's clonazepam 0.5 mg order was revised on
2/17/26 to be given every 12 hours, scheduled, for 14 days. Resident 3's Psychotherapeutic Drug Informed
Consent Form (IC), dated 2/5/26, indicated informed consent had been obtained for Resident 3's
clonazepam 0.5 mg every 12 PRN order. Resident 3's Medical Record did not indicate a new IC had been
obtained for clonazepam 0.5 mg every 12 hours, scheduled, before administration. Resident 3's Medical
Record indicated, clonazepam 0.5 mg every 12 hours, scheduled, had been administered on 2/17/26 at
9:00 p.m. and 2/18/26 at 9:00 a.m., before Resident 3 signed an IC.During a concurrent interview and
record review on 2/18/26 at 9:54 a.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 3's Medical Record, dated
2/18/26 was reviewed. RN 1 stated Resident 3 was her own RP and signed her own informed consents. RN
1 stated she could not locate an informed consent for Resident 3's clonazepam 0.5 mg, every 12 hours, for
14 days, scheduled order. RN 1 stated she could only locate Resident 3's previous order, clonazepam 0.5
mg every 12 hours,

PRN, informed consent. RN 1 stated the current informed consent did not match the current order for
clonazepam. RN 1 stated any time a psychotherapeutic medication changed, including frequency, a new
informed consent was required. RN 1 stated it was important to obtain an informed consent prior to
administration of psychotherapeutic medication to ensure the resident was aware of risks, benefits and
potential side effects of the medication they were administered. During an interview on 2/18/26 at 10:54
a.m. with Resident 3, in Resident 3's room, Resident 3 stated she was unaware her clonazepam 0.5 mg
medication was switched from PRN to scheduled every 12 hours. Resident 3 stated she requested the
medication be changed from PRN to every 12 hours scheduled, so she could receive the medication at 9
a.m. and 9 p.m., but she did not know it had gone into effect yet.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 2/18/26 at 9:47 a.m. with the Medical Records (MR), Resident 3's Medical Record, dated 2/18/26
was reviewed. The MR stated after informed consents were obtained they were brought to her to upload
into the resident chart. The MR stated she reviewed informed consents before upload into the Medical
Record to ensure accuracy and completion. The MR stated informed consents required Resident and/or
Resident's RP signatures to ensure informed consent was obtained. The MR could not locate a consent for
Resident 3's clonazepam 0.5 mg every 12 hours scheduled order.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 2/19/26 at 3:49 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 3's Medical Record, dated
2/19/26, was reviewed. The DON stated Resident 3 was a BIMS of 15, made her own medical decisions
and signed her own informed consents. The DON stated on 2/17/26 Resident 3, the provider, and herself
spoke on the phone and the provider agreed to switch Resident 3's medication from PRN to scheduled, as
per Resident 3's request. The DON stated the provider gave a verbal order to give the medication
scheduled. The DON signed her signature, as the receiving licensed nurse of the verbal order, on Resident
3's informed consent on 2/17/26. The DON stated Resident 3 did not sign the informed consent. The DON
stated Resident 3's medication was then administered. The DON stated she was taught since the provider
was not at bedside, Resident 3 could not sign the informed consent until the provider was at bedside. The
DON stated she signed, as the licensed nursing staff, to give informed consent for Resident 3 on 2/17/26.
The DON stated on 2/18/26 Resident 3 and the provider signed the informed consent. The DON stated
Resident 3 had received two doses of clonazepam 0.5 mg every 12 hours, scheduled, before Resident 3
signed the informed consent.During an interview on 2/20/26 at 12:22 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated
she could not locate a policy, in-service, or education that supported Resident 3 not being able to sign
informed consent if the provider was not at bedside. The DON stated she reviewed facility policy, previous
in-services and education, and facility policy had not been followed in obtaining informed consent for
Resident 3. The DON stated licensed nursing staff could sign in place of the resident in emergent
situations, but emergent conditions were required to be documented, which they were not. The DON stated
an informed consent was required for all psychotherapeutic medications and when medication changes
occurred. The DON stated informed consents were important to obtain to ensure residents were aware of
their medication, risks, benefits and plan of care changes.During a review of the facility's manual title,
California LTC Facility Pharmacy Services and Procedures Manual, the policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
3.8 Psychotropic Medication Use, dated 12/1/07, indicated .all medications used to treat behaviors must
have clinical indication.facility staff should inform the resident and/or resident representative of the initiation,
reason for use, and the risks associated with the use of psychotropic medications, per facility policy or
applicable state regulations.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Informed Consent, dated 1/1/26, the
P&P indicated, .the facility shall ensure that informed consent is obtained, documented, maintained, and
renewed for all psychotherapeutic drugs administered to residents in

Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or
bed-hold policies.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure its policy on against medical advice (AMA-patient
chooses to leave before the doctor recommended discharge) was followed for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 57) when Resident 57 left the facility AMA on 2/6/26, and there was no documentation
the medical doctor (MD) and administrator (ADM) were notified.This failure had the potential to place
Resident 57 at risk of health complications, including worsening of her condition. During a review of
Resident 57's admission Record (AR- a document containing resident profile information) dated 12/9/25,
the AR indicated Resident 57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included right hip
effusion (abnormal accumulation of excess fluid within the hip joint capsule), spinal stenosis (narrowing of
spinal canal squeezing the nerves and causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness), muscle weakness
and abnormalities of gait and mobility. During a review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident
assessment tool used to identify resident cognitive, physical abilities and needs) assessment dated [DATE],
the MDS assessment indicated Resident 57's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-screening tool sed to
assess resident cognitive status) 0-15 scale (0-6 severe cognitive deficit, 7-12 moderate cognitive deficit,
13-15 no cognitive deficit)assessment score was 13 out of 15 which indicated Resident 57 had no cognitive
deficit.During an interview on 2/19/26 at 3:01 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated he
was working the day Resident 57 signed herself out AMA and assisted Resident 57's nurse with the
process. LVN 1 stated Resident 57 was not happy and wanted to leave. LVN 1 stated he explained what
AMA meant and the potential consequences, and Resident 57 signed the AMA form. LVN 1 stated he did
not remember notifying or calling the MD and the ADM regarding of Resident 57's decision to leave AMA.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/19/26 at 3:18 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN)2, RN
2 stated she was Resident 57's nurse when Resident 57 signed herself AMA on 2/6/26. RN 2 reviewed
Resident 57's progress notes and stated she sent a message to the Director of Nursing (DON) but did not
notify Resident 57's MD or the ADM. RN 2 stated she assumed the DON notified the ADM. RN 2 stated, I
am new in the facility and did not know what to do. During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/20/26 at 10:49 a.m. with Social Service Designee (SSD), Resident 57's SSD notes were reviewed. The
SSD stated she did not find any documentation indicating she had spoken with Resident 57 about wanting
to go home or requesting a room change. The SSD stated Resident 57 was not happy with her roommate
and had been shown different room where she could have moved. The SSD stated she should have notified
the ombudsman (an official advocate for resident's rights), but she did not, and did not call Resident 57 to
follow-up after leaving AMA. During an interview on 2/20/26 at 12:20 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated,
She (Resident 57) threatened to leave so many times and we talked to her but there are no
documentations. The DON stated she was not sure about the facility policy on AMA, but we can not keep
them against their will. The DON stated she reviewed the nurse documentation when Resident 57 signed
herself out AMA. The DON stated the nurse progress note did not indicate the MD and ADM were notified
or made aware of Resident 57's decision to leave AMA. During a review of facility's policy and procedure

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure Minimum Data Set Assessment
(MDS-assessment of physical and psychological functions and needs) accurately reflected resident's health
and functional status for one of five sampled residents (Resident 58) when Resident 58's Infection of the
foot in Section M (Skin Condition) was inaccurately coded in the MDS assessment dated [DATE]. This
failure had the potential to result in Resident 58's care needs not met and the potential for adverse reaction
to not be monitored.During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/17/26 at 10:48 a.m. during initial
tour in Resident 58's room, Resident 58 was observed lying in bed with facial grimacing stating he has pain
on his right foot. Resident 58's right foot was covered with kerlix roll dressing (sterile, crinkled, cotton gauze
bandage used to cover, protect, and pack wounds) from above the left ankle to toes, left foot covered with
elastic bandage ( stretchy, woven, and reusable fabric wrap) from below the knee to the toes. Resident 58
stated, The nurse said it is too soon for another pain medication. During a review of Resident 58's
admission Record [AR-a document with personal identification and medical information], dated 2/19/26, the
AR indicated Resident 58 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA-a bacteria that does not respond to antibiotic
[medicines that treat bacterial infections by killing bacteria or stopping their growth]) Infection, diabetes
mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) and
absence of other right toes. During a review of Resident 58's Order Summary Report [OSR], dated 2/19/26,
the OSR indicated, .Clean wound to [R] plantar [bottom] foot with NS [Normal Saline-salt water solution] &
Pat Dry. Apply iodine soaked gauze to the area and wrap w/ [with] Kerlix QD [daily] . Order Date: 2/16/26,

During an interview on 2/17/26 at 9:15 a.m. with Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated Resident 58 is on
Isolation Precaution due to MRSA to wounds on his feet. The IP stated Resident 58 is currently on
intravenous antibiotics for the wounds to his feet. The IP stated Resident 58's wounds are covered with
dressings and changed daily. During an interview on 2/19/26 at 9:24 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistance
(CNA) 4, CNA 4 stated she was familiar with Resident 58's care. CNA 4 stated Resident 58 complained of
pain on his feet and did not want to be touched to take care of him. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 2/19/26 at 1:25 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist
(ADON/IP), Resident 58's clinical record was reviewed and she stated Resident 58 was sent out to acute
hospital on 1/19/26 for debridement (cleaning out a wound to allow healthy, new tissue to grow) of wounds
to bilateral heels. The ADON/IP stated Resident 58 has chronic wounds to heel area. The ADON/IP stated
Resident 58 was re-admitted on [DATE] with intravenous antibiotic for MRSA until 3/3/26. During a

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 ensure a comprehensive, person-centered
care plan (a plan that provides direction for individualized care of the resident) was developed and
implemented to meet the identified needs for two of 10 sampled residents (Residents' 5 and 10) when:
1.Resident 5's change in condition on 2/14/26, when the resident complained of a cough and subsequently
received new physician orders, including cough medication, steroids (medicine used to reduce swelling and
inflammation), antibiotics (medicine used to treat infections caused by bacteria [germs]) and diagnostic
testing. This failure had the potential to result in inconsistent care, lack of staff awareness regarding
Resident 5's change in condition and failure to monitor the effectiveness of interventions, which could have
led to a decline in Resident 5's respiratory status. 2.Resident 10 did not have a care plan for a fall that
happened on 2/15/26. This failure put Resident 10 at risk for additional fall and for potential injuries from the
fall.1.During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (AR -a summary of information regarding a patient
which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact
information and other pertinent information), dated 2/19/26, the AR indicated Resident 5 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of fracture (a break or crack in a bone) of right lower leg, and muscle
weakness (the muscles [a soft tissue in the body that helped a person move] did not work as strongly as
they usually did).
During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool used to identify
cognitive [mental processes] and physical functional level assessment), dated 1/3/26, the MDS indicated
Resident 5 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - a test given by medical professionals to
determine cognitive (involving the process of thinking, learning and understanding) understanding on a
scale of 1-15 ) score of 14 (a score of 0-7 suggests severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 suggests moderately
impaired, 13-15 suggests cognitively intact), which suggested Resident 5 was cognitively intact.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/17/26 at 8:26a.m. with Resident 5 in his room, Resident
5 stated he had developed a productive cough beginning on 2/14/26. Resident 5 stated he had been
receiving cough syrup, and throat lozenges and had undergone a chest X-ray, with results pending at the
time of interview.
During an interview of 2/19/26 at 9:29a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated a care
plan was something she followed as a CNA. CNA 1 described it as her guide for how to care for the
residents and referred to it as the resident's personal index. CNA 1 further stated new developments should
be care planned because it provided her with an FYI on what to monitor and how to look out for changes in
the resident's condition.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 5's electronic health record on 2/19/26 at
10:09 a.m. with Registered Nurse (RN)1, review of Resident 5's physician orders indicated guaifenesin
(medication used to help loosen mucus in the chest) 15militers (ml- a way to measure small amounts of
liquid) every 6 hours as needed for cough, dextromethorphan-benzocain (a medicine to help relieve cough
and sooth a sore throat) lozenges every 4 hours as needed, Prednisone (a medicine used to reduce

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 meet professional standards of practice for
three of 10 sampled residents (Resident 12, 49 and 29 ) when:1. Resident 12 was administered 2.5 LPM
(liter per minute-a unit of measurement for the flow rate of oxygen) of oxygen therapy (a colorless, tasteless
gas essential to living organisms) without a physician's order.This failure resulted in Resident 12 receiving
oxygen therapy without a physician's order which had the potential to result in shortness of breath, oxygen
toxicity (lung damage that happens from breathing in too much extra oxygen therapy), and serious medical
conditions.2. Resident 49 was not monitored or observed while receiving her medication through hand held
nebulizer (HHN-device designed to convert liquid medication into fine mist for treating asthma and
respiratory issues), nebulizer machine was turned off by a CNA when Resident 57 stated her treatment was
completed and licensed nurse did not verify medication in the HHN was completedThis failure had the
potential for Resident 57 to not received the whole medication dose which could lead to continued
respiratory distress.3.The facility did not ensure appropriate reassessment and management of Resident
29's permacath (a special soft tube that was placed into a large vein in the chest to allow blood to be
cleaned) after hemodialysis (a treatment that used a machine to clean a person's blood when their kidneys
were not working properly) treatments were discontinued. This failure had the potential risk to result in
improper catheter maintenance, increased risk of infection and delayed removal of an unnecessary invasive
device no longer in use. 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 10:15 a.m. during
the initial tour of the facility in Resident 49's room, Resident 49 was observed sitting at edge of bed holding
a handheld nebulizer. Resident 49 appeared appropriately dressed and stated she did not have any
concerns. Resident 49 stated she also used oxygen pointing at a portable oxygen concentrator (breathing
machine to help with low blood oxygen levels) at bedside, nasal cannula (flexible, plastic tube with two
small prongs that fit just inside the nostrils to deliver supplemental oxygen) dated [DATE].
Residents Affected - Some

room, CNA 5 assisted Resident 49 and turned off the nebulizer machine after Resident 49 asked for the
machine to be turned off. CNA 5 stated CNAs are not allowed to turn on or off any machine residents are
using, stated not part of our job description. CNA 5 stated HHN machine had medication, and CNAs are not
allowed to touch resident medications. CNA 5 stated she asked Resident 49's nurse if she could turn off the
nebulizer machine and was told yes by LVN 2.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:35 p.m. with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated she should have stayed with Resident
49 while the HHN machine was still on because there was still medication in the chamber. LVN 2 stated the
practice was to stay with residents to ensure medication was completed and Resident 49

could not be guaranteed past expiration dates. The PC stated the PC did a spot check of the medication
room monthly and removed expired medications. The PC stated licensed nursing staff were expected to
review expiration labels before opening and removing medications from the medication room. The PCS
stated the facility was expected to adhere to all policies and procedures regarding expired medications. The
PCS could not state facility policy and procedure regarding expired medications.
During an interview on 2/20/26 at 12:22 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated facility policy and procedure
was not followed when the medication room contained five expired bottles of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride
180 mg, one bottle of Dextromethorphan HBr 20 mg Guaifenesin 400 mg, and two bottles of Vashe wound

Resident 5 was tested for COVID-19 (Coronavirus is an infectious respiratory disease) in accordance with
the facilities policy and procedure titled COVID-19, after Resident 5 developed a cough. This failure had the
potential to delay identification of communicable diseases and increase the risk of transmission to other
residents and staff within the facility.2. LVN 1 did not wear enhanced barrier precaution (EBP- infection
control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms) personal protective
equipment (PPE- protective equipment designed to protect and prevent spread of infection or illness) while
handling Resident 4's gastrostomy tube (G-tube-an indwelling medical device inserted into the stomach)
during a enteral feeding (a feeding tube that delivers nutrients directly into the stomach) administration. This
failure had the potential to result in the spread of germs and bacteria that could result in infection and
illness. 1. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (AR - a summary of information regarding a
patient which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family
contact information and other pertinent information), dated 2/19/26, the AR indicated Resident 5 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of fracture (a break or crack in a bone) of right lower leg,
and muscle weakness (the muscles [a soft tissue in the body that helped a person move] did not work as
strongly as they usually did).

cognitive [mental processes] and physical functional level assessment), dated 1/3/26, the MDS indicated
Resident 5 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - a test given by medical professionals to
determine cognitive (involving the process of thinking, learning and understanding) understanding on a
scale of 1-15 ) score of 14 (a score of 0-7 suggests severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 suggests moderately
impaired, 13-15 suggests cognitively intact), which suggested Resident 5 was cognitively intact.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/17/26 at 8:26 a.m. with Resident 5 in his room,
Resident 5 stated he had developed a productive cough beginning on 2/14/26. Resident 5 stated he had
been receiving cough syrup, and throat lozenges and had undergone a chest X-ray (imaging test to take
pictures of the inside of the body), with results pending at the time of interview. Resident 5 described the
cough as painful and stated no other testing had been performed aside from the chest X-ray.
During an interview of 2/19/26 at 9:29a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated her role
was to observe residents and report any changes in condition to the nurse immediately. CNA 1 stated if a
resident had a cough, she would report it to the nurse.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 5's electronic health record on 2/19/26 at
10:09a.m. with Registered Nurse (RN)1, RN 1 stated she was the nurse assigned to Resident 5 on 2/14/26
when he developed a cough. RN 1 stated the facilities COVID-19 protocol required resident's exhibiting
signs or symptoms of COVID-19 to be tested. RN 1 stated Resident 5 was not tested for COVID-19. Review
of Resident 5's Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated Resident 5 had a PRN (as needed)
order for COVID-19 testing, which had not been administered. RN 1 stated testing was important to
determine the resident's COVID-19 status.
