F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide accommodation of needs for one of 22 residents (Resident 81) when Resident 81 did not have the appropriate staff call device (call button) that she would be able to use if she needed to call for assistance. This failure had the potential to result in the resident not getting assistance timely and delay necessary care and services. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of Resident 81's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including respiratory failure and quadriplegia (complete or partial paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and arms, usually due to a spinal cord injury). Review of Resident 81's Nursing admission Screening/History, dated 9/16/24 indicated the resident was alert x 4 (alert to person, place, time and event). Review of Resident 81's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 10/2/24 indicated her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) score was 15 (cognitively intact). Review of Resident 81's physician order, dated 5/30/24 indicated she had an order for bilateral resting hand splints at all times except ADL's (activities of daily living) for contracture prevention. During an observation on 10/15/24 at 9:23 a.m., Resident 81 was in bed. Resident 81 had hand splints on her hands and arms. Resident 81's call button was on the bed next to her. During a concurrent interview with Registered Nurse K (RN K), he stated Resident 81 yells out when she needs help. During an interview on 10/16/24 at 1:59 p.m. the maintenance director (MD) stated the facility has other call devices available. He stated if a resident was not able to push on the call button using their fingers and the nusring staff could put a special call device if the resident needs it. During an interview with Resident 81 and an interpreter on 10/15/24 at 10:31 a.m., Resident 81 stated she calls out when she needs help. During an interview on 10/16/24 at 2:14 p.m., nurse supervisor M (NS M) stated Resident 81 has not been assessed for an appropriate call device. She stated there are other call devices available. NS (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.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm M stated she thinks a call device that could be turned on by pressing it with her head would be good for Resident 81. During an observation on 10/17/24 at 11:10 a.m., Resident 81 was in bed. Resident 81 had hand splints on her hands and arms. Resident 81's call button was on the bed next to her. Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/17/24 at 2:03 p.m., when the Director of Nursing (DON) was asked if Resident 81's call button was appropriate for the resident and the DON asked if Resident 81 whether could move her thumbs. Resident 81 moved her arms slowly up and down and stated that she was not able to. The DON stated we have other call devices, including a padded call device or a call device that could be placed by her head. Review of the facility's policy, Assistive Devices and Equipment, revised 1/2020 indicated, Certain devices and equipment that assist with resident mobility, safety and independence are provided for residents.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a baseline care plan was completed within 48 hours of admission for two of 22 sampled Residents (Resident 66 and Resident 25). This failure had the potential for the residents and/or responsible party (RP) to be unaware of the plan of care. Findings: During a review of Resident 66's Baseline Care Plan (BCP), dated 10/04/2024, the BCP indicated Resident 66 was admitted on [DATE]. It also indicated the following were left blank: Therapy Services, BCP Completion Date, Date Reviewed With Resident/Representative, Staff Name and Signature, Resident signature, Representative Name and Signature. During a review of Resident 25's BCP, dated 10/10/2024, the BCP indicated Resident 25 was admitted on [DATE]. It also indicated the following were left blank: Safety, BCP Completion date, Date Reviewed With Resident/Representative, Resident signature, Representative Name and Signature. During an interview with Nurse Supervisor M (NS M) on 10/18/24 at 11:20 a.m., NS M stated the admission nurse would start the BCP upon admission and should have been completed within 72 hours. During a concurrent interview and record review with MDS Coordinator G (MDS G) on 10/18/24 at 11:58 a.m., MDS G confirmed the above findings and stated baseline care plans would be completed within 72 hours upon admission. During a concurrent interview and record review with Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/18/24 at 2:13 p.m., the DON confirmed the above findings. The DON stated all areas of the BCP should have been completed within 72 hours of admission for Resident 66 and Resident 25. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled (P&P), Care Plans - Baseline, dated December 2016, the P&P indicated, 1. To assure that the resident's immediate care needs are met and maintained, a baseline care plan will be developed within Seventy-Two (72) hours of the resident's admission. 2. The interdisciplinary team will review the healthcare practitioner's order (e.g., dietary needs, medication, routine treatments, etc.) and implement a baseline care plan to meet the resident's immediate care and needs including, but not limited to the following: a. Initial goals based on admission orders; b. Physician orders; c. Dietary orders; d. Therapy services; e. Social services . 4.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional standards of practice were followed for five out of 22 sampled residents (Residents 25, 35, 75, 93, and 98) when: Residents Affected - Some For Residents 25, 35, 93, and 98, there were incomplete physicians orders, which had the potential for unsafe implementation of the orders and untimely treatment or intervention residents' medical conditions. For Resident 75, the staff took the blood pressure (BP) on the same arm where the resident has the AV fistula (arteriovenous fistula, connection that's made between an artery and a vein for dialysis access), did not monitor her intake and output (the measurement of the fluids that enter the body and the fluids that leave the body). The failures had the potential to cause injury and unmonitored medical condition. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 93's clinical record indicated an order for Admelog [insulin lispro, a short-acting insulin to lower blood sugar] Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML [milliliter] . Inject 3 ml [milliliters] subcutaneously [injection under the skin] as needed for DM [diabetes mellitus], dated 7/19/2024. The order had a dose of 3 ml which would be equal to 300 units of insulin; and did not have a frequency and parameters, such as blood sugar (BS) above certain readings, when to give it. During a concurrent interview and record review with Registered Nurse B (RN B) on 10/15/24 at 10:29 a.m., he reviewed Resident 93's Admelog order and stated he would give it if the BS was above 130 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) as BS above 130 mg/dL would be considered high. RN B stated the 3 ml is a questionable dose and confirmed the order had no dosing frequency nor parameters for when to give it. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/15/24 at 12:14 p.m., she reviewed Resident 93's Admelog order and stated, It is totally unclear, and the dose is wrong as 3 ml (or 300 units) would be too high. 2. A review of Resident 35's clinical record indicated he had the following orders for lorazepam (medication for agitation or anxiety): - Lorazepam 1 mg, Give 1 tablet by mouth as needed for Anxiety for 90 days, dated 4/20/24; it was discontinued on 5/17/24; - Lorazepam 1 mg, Give 1 tablet by mouth as needed for Anxiety for 90 days, dated 5/17/24; it was discontinued on 7/16/24. The above orders did not include the dosing frequency (how often to give it). A review of Resident 35's medication administration records (MARs) and the Controlled Drug Record for lorazepam indicated the nursing staff administered 28 lorazepam doses from 4/30/24 to 7/16/24 while the orders did not include a dosing frequency. There was no documented evidence the nursing staff clarified the order with the physician.

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a concurrent interview and record review with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) on 10/15/24 at 4:16 p.m., she confirmed the above finding and acknowledged the nursing staff carried out the order and administered the medication while the order did not have the frequency. 3. A review of Resident 98's physician orders included the following insulin orders: Residents Affected - Some - Insulin glargine (long-acting insulin), inject 17 units subcutaneously every 12 hours for DM, dated 9/19/2024 - Insulin lispro, inject as per sliding scale (a set of instructions for administering insulin dosages based on specific BS readings) . If BS < 60 follow hypoglycemic [low blood sugar] protocol, dated 9/20/2024. There was no written hypoglycemic protocol in Resident 98's clinical record. During a concurrent interview and record review with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) C on 10/17/24 at 11:19 a.m., when asked what he would do if the resident had a BS reading below 60, he stated he would call the doctor and give the resident some juice if she could drink; and if not, he would given Glucagon (an injectable medication to treat low BS). When asked if there were prescribed orders for hypoglycemic protocol, LVN C stated he could not find any. During a concurrent interview and record review with the DON on 10/17/24 at 11:35 a.m., she reviewed Resident 98's clinical record and confirmed there were no prescribed or an established hypoglycemia protocol.

A review of Resident 25's physician's orders included the following: - Insulin Glargine, inject 5 unit subcutaneously at bedtime for DM, dated 10/11/2024 - Insulin Lispro, inject per sliding scale . FSBS [finger-stick BS] <70 Refer to hypoglycemia orders, dated 10/11/2024 There was no prescribed hypoglycemia orders in Resident 25's medical record. During a concurrent interview and record review with the MDSC on 10/17/24 at 3:20 p.m., she confirmed despite having 2 insulin orders, there were no prescribed or an established hypoglycemia protocol in place for the nursing staff to follow in case the resident had BS readings below 70. She stated she just had the order clarified with the doctor about an hour before this interview. A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Medication Therapy, revised 4/2007, indicated, Each resident's medication regimen shall include only those medications necessary to treat existing conditions and address significant risks . All medication orders will be supported by appropriate care and practices . All decisions related to medications shall include appropriate elements of the care process, such as .

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 ensure accurate accountability of controlled drugs (medications that can be easily abused and are under strict government control) and document medication administration as in accordance with the facility policy and procedures (P&P) for 3 out of 5 residents (Residents 35, 39, and 85). The failure had the potential for medication errors and controlled drug abuse or diversion (when healthcare providers obtain or use prescription medicines illegally). Findings: During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/15/24 at 3:40 p.m., she explained that each time a resident requested an as-needed controlled medication, the nurse assesses the resident, reviews the physician's order, signs it out of the CDR, administers the medication to the resident, documents the medication administration on the MAR, and re-assesses the resident for effectiveness of the medication within one hour. 1. A review of Resident 39's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 12/11/23, for diazepam (a controlled medication to treat anxiety or other medical conditions) 5 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement), give 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for intermittent jerking. On 10/15/24 at 3:50 p.m., in the presence of the DON, an interview and record review was conducted with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC). A review of Resident 39's CDR for diazepam 5 mg and the June, August, and September 2024 medication administration records (MARs) indicated the nursing staff signed out of the CDR but did not document on the MAR to show the medication was administered to the resident, on 5 occasions, as follows: - 6/23/24 at 4 a.m. - 6/27/24 at 8 p.m. - 6/27/24 at illegible time - 8/7/24 at 8 p.m. - 9/12/24 at 8:30 p.m. During the interview and record review above, the MDSC confirmed this finding. She reviewed the nursing progress notes and stated there was documentation showing diazepam was given one time on 6/27/24 and on 9/12/24. However, both the DON and MDSC stated the nursing staff is expected to document the medication administration on the MAR so the computer system would prompt the re-assessment in one hour, and also to prevent the medication from being given again too soon. 2. A review of Resident 35's clinical record indicated a physician's order for lorazepam (medication for agitation and anxiety) 1 mg, give 1 tablet by mouth as needed for Anxiety for 90 days, dated 4/20/24.

During a concurrent interview and record review with the MDSC on 10/15/24 at 4:29 p.m., a review of Resident 85's oxycodone 5 mg CDR and the July and August 2024 MARs indicated the nursing staff removed one tablet on the following dates and times without documenting in the respective administration on the MAR: - 7/22/24 at 4:30 a.m.; - 7/23/24 at 10:00 p.m.; - 7/24/24 at 6:00 a.m.; - 8/1/24 at 6:00 a.m. During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/15/24 at 4:35 p.m., the MDSC verified: three tablets of diazepam 5 mg for Resident 39; nine tablets of lorazepam 1 mg for Resident 35; and four tablets of oxycodone 5 mg for Resident 85, were unaccounted.

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 consultant pharmacist (CP) failed to identify and report irregularities to the facility during the monthly regimen review (MRR) for two out of 20 sampled residents (Residents 5 and 93). The failure resulted in an unsafe order without being clarified for Resident 93, and Resident 5 not receiving the medication in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications to optimize drug therapy. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 93's clinical record indicated an order for Admelog [insulin lispro, a short-acting insulin to lower blood sugar] Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML [milliliter] . Inject 3 ml [milliliters] subcutaneously [injection under the skin] as needed for DM [diabetes mellitus], dated 7/19/2024. The order had a dose of 3 ml which would be equal to 300 units of insulin; and did not have a frequency and parameters, such as blood sugar (BS} above certain readings, when to give it. During a concurrent interview and record review with Registered Nurse B (RN B) on 10/15/24 at 10:29 a.m., he reviewed Resident 93's Admelog order and stated he would give it if the BS was above 130 milligrams/deciLiter (mg/dL) as that would be considered high. RN B stated the 3 ml is a questionable dose and confirmed the order had no dosing frequency nor parameters when to give it. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/15/24 at 12:14 p.m., she reviewed Resident 93's Admelog order and stated, It is totally unclear, and the dose is wrong as 3 ml (or 300 units) would be very high. When asked whether the CP identified this as an irregularity during the monthly MRR since July 2024, the DON stated she could not find any recommendation related to this. During a telephone interview with the CP on 10/17/24 at 3:35 p.m., when asked whether she had identified and reported to the facility the irregular Admelog order for Resident 93, the CP responded she did not. She stated, Looks like I did not see it. 2. A review of Resident 5's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including chronic kidney disease (CKD, long-term condition where the kidneys are damaged and can not filter blood properly). Resident 5's physician's orders included an order for: - Calcium Acetate (Phoslo; a phosphate binder, medication to prevent high blood phosphate levels in patients who are on dialysis due to severe kidney disease) 667 mg, give 2 tablets by mouth three times a day for CKD, dated 6/3/2024. It was scheduled to be administered at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. According to the Prescribing Information from the manufacturer for calcium acetate, dated 3/2011, it indicated, Calcium acetate . when taken with meals, combines with dietary phosphate to form an insoluble calcium phosphate complex, which is excreted in the feces, resulting in decreased serum phosphorus concentration. It indicated to take the medication with each meal. The facility scheduled breakfast at 7 a.m.; lunch at 12 noon; and dinner at 5 p.m. Thus, the calcium acetate administration time was not scheduled at the same time with breakfast and lunch.

On 10/16/24 at 11:18 a.m., an interview was conducted with Resident 5, who had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a scale to determine a patient's cognitive understanding) of 15, conducted on 8/23/24, indicating she had intact cognition. When asked whether she took her Phoslo with food or whenever the nursing staff gave it to her, she stated, Whenever they give it to me. She said she did not know it has to be given with food. During a concurrent interview and record review with the DON on 10/16/24 at 12:09 p.m., she acknowledged the calcium acetate should be given with meals. She reviewed Resident 5's calcium acetate administration schedule and confirmed they were not consistent with meal times. A review of the Resident Details (a document showing the actual medication administration time) with the DON showed Resident 5's calcium acetate doses were not given during meal times 35 times out of 39 administrations from 10/3/24 to 10/15/24. A review of Resident 5's laboratory test, dated 3/6/24, indicated her phosphorous level was at 5.8 (high; the normal range is 2.5 - 5.0).

F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two out of 22 sampled residents (Residents 35 and 98) were free from unnecessary medications when Resident 35 received warfarin (a blood thinner to prevent blood clots) for a wrong indication; and Resident 98's lidocaine patch (a topical medication applied to the skin for pain) was not administered in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. This deficient practice resulted inadequate indication for medication use; and the potential for adverse effects of medication. Residents Affected - Few Findings: 1. A review of Resident 35's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including chronic embolism and thrombosis of other specified veins (conditions that involve blood clots and can lead to serious complications) and saddle embolus of pulmonary artery with acute cor pulmonale (condition occurs when a large blood clot becomes lodged at the intersection where the main pulmonary artery divides and branches off into the left and right lungs). A review of Resident 35's physician's orders indicated the resident has been receiving warfarin, a blood thinner that required frequent blood testing and dosage adjustment based on the test results. He had the following orders: - Warfarin 1 mg, give 1.5 tablets by mouth at bedtime for pulmonary edema (condition where too much fluid builds up in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe), dated 9/13/24; - Warfarin 1 mg, give 1.5 tablets by mouth at bedtime for pulmonary edema, dated 9/20/24; - Warfarin 1 mg, give 1.5 tablets by mouth at bedtime for pulmonary edema, dated 9/25/24; During an interview with Resident 35 on 10/16/24 at 4:09 p.m., he stated he had been receiving warfarin for a massive saddle PE (saddle pulmonary embolism, a rare, life-threatening condition that occurs when a large blood clot gets lodged in the pulmonary artery, blocking blood flow to both lungs) that required very long hospitalization. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/17/24 at 11:45 a.m., she reviewed Resident 35's warfarin orders and confirmed the diagnosis for warfarin should be pulmonary embolism, not pulmonary edema. 2. A review of Resident 98's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including back pain. A review of her physician's orders indicated an order for lidocaine patch 4%, apply to back topically one time a day for pain management, dated 9/21/24. On 10/17/24 at 11:19 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse C (LVN C) was asked to show the lidocaine patch that was administered to Resident 98 earlier that morning. LVN C provided a lidocaine 4% patch box labeled Lidocaine Pain Relief Patch. The manufacturer's directions in the back of the box indicated to not use longer than a 12-hour period. A review of Resident 98's medication administration record (MAR) with LVN C indicated a new patch was scheduled to be administered at 9 a.m., and the removal of the used patch was scheduled at 0859 a.m. (same time as the new patch application).

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility had a medication error rate of 5.56% when two medication errors occurred out of 36 opportunities during the medication administration for 2 out of 6 residents (Residents 67 and 93). The failures resulted in the nursing staff not following the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) and had the potential for the residents not receiving full therapeutic effects or complications of medications. Residents Affected - Few Findings: 1. During the medication administration observation on 10/14/24 at 9:15 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) A was observed preparing and administering 15 medications to Resident 67. Included in the medications was an oral inhaler called Alvesco (medication for asthma). After shaking the Alvesco inhaler, LVN A gave it to the resident and asked her to press on the inhaler and inhale deeply. After she finished, LVN A asked Resident 67 to repeat by giving herself another puff without allowing some time in between the inhalations. There was about 4 or 5-second time lapse between the 2 puffs. During an interview shortly after the observation, on 10/14/24 at 9:37 a.m., LVN A was asked whether he should have allowed time between the 2 puffs of inhaled medication, he stated, Not typically. He also stated he was not familiar with spacing out inhaled medications. A review of Resident 67's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 10/10/24, for Alvesco Inhalation 160 micrograms/actuation (unit of measurement), inhale 2 puffs orally two times a day for asthma prevention and control. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/14/24 at 3:07 p.m., she stated, For patients with multiple inhalations, they [the nurses] should allow 1-2 minutes between inhalations. A review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications through a Metered Dose Inhaler, dated 10/2010, indicated, Repeat inhalation, if ordered. Allow at least (1) minute between inhalations of the same medication . 2. During the medication administration observation on 10/14/24 at 10:09 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN) B was observed preparing 10 medications, 1 liquid and 9 solid medications, for Resident 93. The resident was receiving medications via the gastrostomy tube (or G-tube, tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition and medications directly to the stomach). RN B crushed each solid medication separately and diluted each with about 10 milliliters (mL, unit of measurement) of water. He also added some water to the liquid medication to dilute it. On 10/14/24 at 11 a.m., after attaching a 60-mL syringe to the resident's G-tube, RN B was observed flushing the G-tube with about 50 mL of water. Then he poured each of the medication in the syringe, one by one, without flushing with water between the 10 medications. He flushed the tubing with about 60 mL of water after the last medication. Shortly after the observation, on 10/14/24 at 11:19 a.m., RN B confirmed he did not rinse or flush the tubing with water between the medications. He said he was supposed to.
