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 that one of four residents (Resident 1) was educated, informed and allowed to make her own medical decisions before administering a psychotropic (alters mood and behavior). Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in Resident 1 to receive an unnecessary medication and had the potential for adverse effects such as sedation, dry mouth, weakness, headaches, dizziness, nausea and being unable to sleep. Refer to F758. Findings: A review of a facility policy titled Informed Consent Policy, undated, under documentation form, indicated This verification that informed consent was given shall be made available to the facility from either the person who obtained the consent (physician or nurse practitioner - only if they were the one who prescribed the medication) or who gave the consent (patient/resident, or responsible party, if patient/resident is not capable) in either verbal, FAX, e-mail, or document (copy or original). The facility staff who are authorized to take such orders shall either document or include the printed or electronic version of the IC with the patient's medical record. Informed consent policy under procedure: When a medication is going to be used in a psychotherapeutic manner the facility will need to verify from the physician or their office staff that IC has been obtained .The facility will need to obtain the indication for use from the physician. The facility provided its informed consent policy, which states that The facility shall verify that informed consent (IC) has been obtained by the physician before a psychotherapeutic medication is administered except the it is deemed to be an emergency situation, or the resident refuses to want to know or the physician deems the information contained in the IC would be too disturbing. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including heart failure, acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (a disease affecting the lungs ability to remove carbon dioxide or deliver oxygen to your blood) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with acute exacerbation and bronchitis due to respiratory syncytial virus (COPD refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing related problems complicated by a respiratory infection) and cognitive communication deficit (difficulty communicating, thinking, remembering and responding accurately). A review of a hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 was able to give a clear history and was not taking any psychotropic medications. A review of a Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR-screening for mental illness) dated (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

MDS RN stated Resident 1 ' s hospital discharge summary should have been scanned into EMR and given to the admissions nurse. MDS RN confirmed it could not be found in EMR and stated she was unaware Resident 1 ' s BiPAP was ordered and delivered at bedside. During a phone interview on 2/14/2024 at 10:13 am, MDir stated he was not responsible for how many admissions a facility would receive, but that six admissions in one day would be unusual. MDir stated the admissions coordinator puts everything into the EMR (which he has access to) including discharge records from hospital, which he reads after admission is finalized. When told that AS had the order for the BiPAP prior to admission and that it did not come in until 14 days post admission, MDir stated AS should have relayed that to DON or ADON. MDir stated he did not know how any of that happened. Regarding Resident 1 not feeling well after not receiving ordered BiPAP for 14 days, MDir stated if she wasn ' t doing well, what could happen, did happen.

This failure resulted in a decline in Resident 1 ' s respiratory and metabolic status (a condition where the decline of the lung function negatively affects the functioning of the rest of the body) resulting in emergent transfer to a hospital for treatment. Refer to F695. Findings: A review of facility policy titled CPAP/BiPAP Support and Cleaning dated March 2015, indicated only a qualified and properly trained nurse or respiratory therapist should administer oxygen through a CPAP/BiPAP mask. A resident ' s medical record should be reviewed to determine his/her baseline oxygen saturation, respiratory, circulatory status. The physician ' s order should be reviewed to determine the oxygen concentration and flow and pressure settings for the machine. A review of Resident 1 ' s hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] at 1:08 pm, indicated she had been hospitalized for 9 days for treatment of acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia (respiratory system fails and carbon dioxide [a gas by product that is removed from the body by exhalation] builds up in the body), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a condition of the respiratory system causing shortness of breath, cough, fatigue and frequent lung infections), toxic metabolic encephalopathy (a condition of acute brain dysfunction resulting in seizures, behavior changes , memory loss, confusion and altered consciousness) and congestive heart failure. During her hospitalization she was started on bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP-a breathing machine that delivers positive air pressure when you breathe in and out). Resident 1 was transferred to a long-term care facility on 12/29/2023. During a review of hospital order sheet faxed to the long-term care facility dated 12/29/2023 at 11:25 am, indicated a hospital medical doctor ordered BiPAP on at bedtime and off for 6 hours during the day to keep her oxygen level above 90-92% (normal is 95-100%). During a record review of an admission assessment dated [DATE] at 5:42 pm, by Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, no documentation of Resident 1 ' s need for BiPAP was noted. During a review of a document titled Order Summary, indicated that there was an oxygen order dated 12/29/2023, for Resident 1 to receive 3 liters via nasal cannula (a flexible tube worn under the nose delivering oxygen) or shortness of breath, as needed.

This failure resulted in Resident 1 to receive an unnecessary medication and put her at risk for adverse side effects such as sedation, dry mouth, weakness, headaches, dizziness, nausea and being unable to sleep. Refer to F552. Findings: A review of facility policy titled Psychotropic Medication Use, dated July 2022, indicated the use of any psychotropic medication is based on comprehensive review of the resident. Residents who have not used psychotropic medications are not prescribed or given these medications unless the medication is determined to be necessary to treat a specific condition that is diagnosed and documented in the medical record. A review of facility policy titled Informed Consent Verification, undated, indicated the facility shall verify that informed consent (IC) has been obtained by the physician before a psychotherapeutic medication is administered. When a medication is going to be used in a psychotherapeutic manner the facility will need to verify from the physician or their office staff that IC has been obtained and will need to obtain the indication for use from the physician. The facility staff who are authorized to take such orders shall either document or include the printed or electronic version of the IC with the resident ' s medical record.

A review Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment and care screening tool) dated 1/05/2024, by MDS Registered Nurse (MDS RN) documented that Resident 1 was not considered to have a serious mental illness, there was no evidence of an acute change in mental status. A review of Skilled Charting dated: 12/29/2023, 12/30/2023, 12/31/2023, 1/1/2024, 1/2/2024, 1/04/2024, 1/05/2024, 1/06/2024 (at 12:03 am), 1/06/2024 (at 12:42 pm), 1/08/2024, 1/09/2024, 1/10/2024, 1/11/2024, 1/12/2024, 1/13/2024, 1/14/2024, 1/15/2024, indicated Resident 1 had no changes to mood and behavior. A review of document titled Progress Note, alert note, on 1/11/2024 at 1:30 pm, by Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) documented Nurse Practitioner (NP) in to see Resident 1, Lexapro (antidepressant) for depression ordered 5 milligrams (mg) daily. A review of Resident 1's record indicated no nursing progress note by ADON nor any physician or NP notes found in the record to indicate the clinical justification for the Lexapro. During a phone interview on 2/14/2024 at 10:13 am, Medical Director (MDir) stated he was not responsible for how many admissions a facility would receive, but that six admissions in one day would be unusual. MDir stated the admissions coordinator puts everything into the Electronic Medical Record (EMR, which he has access to) including discharge records from hospital, which he reads after admission was accepted. When told that AS had the order for the BiPAP prior to admission and that it did not come in until 14 days post admission, MDir stated AS should have relayed that to DON or ADON. MDir stated he did not know how any of that happened. Regarding Resident 1 not feeling well after not receiving ordered BiPAP for 14 days, MDir stated if she wasn ' t doing well, what could happen, did happen. Carbon dioxide goes up, then she would eventually become lethargic, and comatose. MDir stated, usually the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of multidisciplinary team members who discuss resident plan of care) meet to discuss residents who are on psychotropic medications. MDir stated there needs to be a clinical reason documented and discussed before starting a psychotropic, including informed consent (discuss risks and benefits) of a medication. When told that there was no indication in her medical record that Resident 1 was depressed, MDir stated that may have just been bad judgement by the Nurse Practitioner.
