F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 80) had an accurate discharge assessment. Resident 80 was discharged to the community. This deficient practice had the potential to cause improper planning for Resident 80's care upon discharge from the facility. Residents Affected - Few Findings: During a review of Resident 80's face sheet on 11/17/22, the face sheet indicated Resident 80 was admitted to the facility in 2022. During a review of Resident 80's discharged summary, dated 9/3/22, the discharge summary indicated under disposition, Resident 80 was discharged to an Assisted Living (a type of housing in a community setting for people who need various levels of medical and personal care). During a review of Discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool used to direct health care needs) dated, 9/3/22; Section A2100 indicated 03 which meant Resident 80 was discharged to an Acute Care Hospital. During a concurrent interview and record review, with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), on 11/17/22, at 11:11 a.m., the MDSC stated, the Discharge MDS was inaccurate. The MDSC confirmed, Resident 80 was discharged to Assisted Living. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), dated November 2019, the P&P indicated, under policy interpretation and implementation 3. The information captured on the assessment reflects the status of the resident during the observation (look-back) period for that assessment.

ADON stated Resident 75 did not have a nursing care plan for their skin discolorations on their right and left arms. ADON stated Resident 75 should have had a nursing care plan for their skin issues. ADON stated Resident 75 needed a nursing care plan for skin issues and skin changes. ADON stated residents were at risk for inappropriate care if they did not have an individualized nursing care plan. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised March 2022, the P&P indicated, Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change. 056381 Page 2 of 9 056381 11/18/2022 Delta View Post Acute 1210 A Street Antioch, CA 94509

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate fingernail care for two of 18 sampled residents (Residents 19 and 26). Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to cause Residents 19 and 26 injury, pain and infection. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/15/22, at 10:42 a.m., with Resident 19, Resident 19's fingernails were observed long with dark gray matter under the fingernails of both hands. Resident 19 stated staff had never cut residents fingernails. Resident 19 stated it made them feel upset. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/15/22, at 11:01 p.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 19's fingernails were observed.

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 four medication errors out of 28 medication pass observations which resulted in an error rate of 14.29%. Physician Orders were not followed during medication administration for Resident 67 and 63. For Resident 67, this had a potential to cause poor pain control when Lidocaine 5% patches (a patch with local anesthetic applied to skin to help control pain) were cut in half, and another 1/2 patch was applied on the left knee without physician orders. For Resident 63, Cozaar 50 milligram (mg) tablet (a type of medication that helps manage high blood pressure), was not given and could result in poor management of high blood pressure. Residents Affected - Some Findings: 1. During an observation and interview on 11/15/22 at 08:40 a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated they would prepare Resident 67's medications that included Lidocaine 5% patches. RN 1 removed two Lidocaine 5% patches for Resident 67 from the medication cart. RN 1 opened one Lidocaine 5% patch and cut it in half, then wrote the current date and initial. RN 1 opened the second patch and cut it in half. RN 1 stated that they cut the patch in half because it was too big for Resident 67's shoulder. RN 1 stated they will save the half patch for the next day since Resident 67 only needs it in three areas. RN 1 proceeded to Resident 67's room. Resident 67 was lying in bed. RN 1 uncovered the Resident 67's shoulders. RN 1 removed a 1/2 patch from each of Resident 67's shoulders, then RN 1 applied 1/2 patch of Lidocaine 5% to each of Resident 67's shoulders. RN 1 uncovered Resident 67's left knee. RN 1 stated the Lidocaine 5% patch was not applied from the day before. RN 1 applied the 1/2 Lidocaine 5% patch to Resident 67's left knee. Review of Resident 67's Physician Orders (PO) titled Order Summary Report for the month of November 2022 showed Lidocaine Patch 5% Apply to each shoulder topically one time a day for 12 hrs., on at 9 AM, off 9 PM, and Remove Lidocaine patch at 2100 at bedtime with order date of 10/21/22. Resident 67's Order Summary Report did not indicate an order for Lidocaine Patch 5% for their left knee. During an interview on 11/15/22 at 2:44 p.m., with RN 1 said they only applied 1/2 Lidocaine 5% patch on each shoulder, and they applied 1/2 Lidocaine patch on Resident 67's left knee. RN 1 stated the Lidocaine 5% patches were not removed at 9 p.m. RN 1 said the Lidocaine 5% patch were only ordered for Resident 67's shoulders, there was no PO order for the left knee. RN 1 said they should have called the doctor to get an order for Lidocaine 5% patch for the left knee. RN 1 further added that they documented the Lidocaine 5% patch applied on the left knee under Supplementary Documentation under the MAR, and RN 1 did not reply when asked if the PM shift nurse would know to remove the Lidocaine 5% patch on the left knee if there was no PO for it. 2. During an observation and interview on 11/15/22 at 08:00 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN stated they needed to check Resident 63's blood pressure then they would start preparing Resident 63's medication. LVN 1 proceeded to check Resident 63's blood pressure and heart rate, Resident 63's BP 135/63 and heart rate 43 beats per minute (bpm). LVN 1 prepared Resident 63's medications that included Cozaar 50 mg tablet given by mouth. LVN 1 stated they would not administer Resident 63's Cozaar 50 mg tablet, since their heart rate was 43 bpm. Review of Resident 63's Physician's Orders titled Order Summary Report for the month of November 2022 showed Cozaar Tablet 50 MG (Losartan Potassium) Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for hypertension hold for systolic blood pressure less than 120 and heart rate less 50. 056381 Page 4 of 9 056381 11/18/2022 Delta View Post Acute 1210 A Street Antioch, CA 94509

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not destroy the controlled substance (CS - drug or other substance that is tightly controlled by the government because it may be abused or cause addiction), to render it unusable after removing them in their individual packaging. This deficient practice could result in a potential case of controlled substance diversion. Findings: During an observation and interview on 11/15/22 at 3:15 p.m., with Director of Nurses (DON) in the presence of Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) in the DON's office, DON grabbed a gallon sized plastic container with gray colored top from behind their chair. Observed the inside of the container which contained a dark dry substance wrapped in thin plastic, dry whole capsules, and tablets. DON stated that the medications inside the container were the controlled substances that were Destroyed back in October by her and the pharmacist. DON stated when the pharmacist was in the facility, they verified the number of tablets/capsules from the bubble pack or bottle, removed them from the packaging and emptied them into the container. DON stated the pharmacists do not take the destroyed CS, because they have another company that incinerate the waste. Observation of a paper label in front with the manufacturer's name Stericycle CSRX System Container indicated to add water to fill about 1/3 of the container.

One-way disposal path. Deactivation by activated carbon. A bittering additive and solidifier to further deter diversion. Compliant and effective disposal via incineration. The Stericyle CSRX container had to be securely fastened to the wall. When water was added the pods of activated carbon dissolved and when controlled substance was added, the activated carbon will deactivate the controlled substances, and the deterrent was release into the container preventing the ingestion of the liquid.
