483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents’ choices,
including but not limited to the following:
(k) Pain Management.
The facility must ensure that pain management
is provided to residents who require such
services, consistent with professional
standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents’
goals and preferences.
(l) Dialysis. The facility must ensure that
residents who require dialysis receive such
services, consistent with professional
standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents’
goals and preferences.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, medical record review, and
facility document review, the facility failed to
provide the necessary care and services after a
hip surgery for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 1). The facility failed to provide
necessary hip precautions to Resident 1 when
she was readmitted to the facility after a hip
surgery, which resulted in a dislocation of her
left hip prosthesis. This failure caused
Resident 1 to be readmitted to the acute care
hospital for close reduction of the left hip
dislocation. In addition, the facility failed to

promptly carry out a physician's order for a

resulting in a delay in treatment for the
resident.
Findings:
According to the Foundations and Adult Health
Nursing, fifth edition, nursing interventions after
a surgery of a fractured hip included the
following:
- Avoid elevating the affected extremity when
sitting.
- The head of the patient's bed is to be
elevated at maximum of 45 degrees to avoid
flexion of the hip and strain on the fixation
device.
- Do not allow patient to cross their legs
because this could adduct (cross body part
over the midline) which can dislocate the hip.
- Do not allow patient to abduct their legs by
using an abductor pillow for 7 to 10 days
following surgery to prevent dislocation of the
prosthesis.
Medical record review for Resident 1 was
initiated on 11/8/17. Resident 1 was
readmitted to the facility on 10/17/17, with
diagnoses including dementia and left femoral
neck fracture with status post left hip
hemiarthroplasty.
Review of the History and Physical
Examination dated 10/18/17, showed Resident
1 did not have the capacity to understand and
make decisions.
Review of the Admission/Readmission Nursing
Data Tool showed Resident 1 arrived at the
facility on 10/17/17 at 1800 hours, via
ambulance. The entry for Musculoskeletal

On 11/8/17 at 1430 hours, an interview was
conducted with the Director of Rehabilitation.
The Director of Rehabilitation stated she
evaluated Resident 1 on 10/18/17 (one day
after admission), and noticed Resident 1's legs
were uneven (one leg was shorter than the
other), and Resident 1 was screaming in pain
when she was touched. The Director of
Rehabilitation stated the residents who
underwent this type of hip surgery should have
hip precautions in place. When asked what the
hip precautions were, the Director of Rehab
stated the resident's affected leg should not be
externally rotated, the resident could not cross
their affected leg over the other or bend their
hips more than 90 degrees. In addition, for the
residents with poor safety awareness like
Resident 1, they needed to use an abductor
pillow (a wedge that is placed between the
resident's legs) to prevent the resident from
crossing their leg over the other to maintain
proper alignment.
On 11/8/17 at 1504 hours, an interview was
conducted with the OT Assistant. The OT
Assistant stated he was approached by the
ADON on 10/18/17, regarding Resident 1's leg
discrepancy. The OT Assistant stated he
provided Resident 1 with an abductor pillow
because Resident 1 was not compliant with the
hip precautions due to poor safety awareness.
The OT was asked how the staff should have
turned or positioned Resident 1 in bed. The
OT Assistant stated when the staff needed to
turn Resident 1, they should stand on the
resident's right side of the bed and log roll her
(turn her trunk and legs to maintain alignment
to prevent her left leg crossing over).
On 11/8/17 at 1532 hours, an interview was
conducted with the ADON. The ADON stated

she did the admission assessment for Resident
1 on 10/17/17. The ADON stated she did not
receive any instructions regarding the use of an
abductor pillow and could not remember if
Resident 1 had one on admission. The ADON
also stated the morning of 10/18/17, when she
went to administer the intravenous medication
to Resident 1, she noticed the resident's leg
discrepancy. The ADON stated she notified
physical therapy staff right away. The ADON
also stated there was no abductor pillow in
between Resident 1's legs at that time.
On 11/9/17 at 1134 hours, a follow-up
telephone interview was conducted with the
ADON. The ADON stated she was aware
Resident 1 had a hip surgery; however, there
were no instructions from the acute care
hospital regarding hip precautions. The ADON
stated the evening of 10/17/17, when Resident
1 was readmitted to the facility, she was not
able to review all of the resident's discharge
instructions from the acute care hospital
because she was working on two admissions.
The ADON stated she could not remember if
she gave the instructions to the CNA to keep a
pillow in between Resident 1's legs. The
ADON verified there was no care plan or
interventions developed to address the hip
precautions. When asked if she contacted the
physician to clarify or obtain an order for hip
precautions, the ADON stated she called
Resident 1's primary care physician (PCP) to
verify the medication orders but did not ask the
physician about any precautions or
interventions for a hip surgery.
Review of the Physical Therapy Plan of Care
dated 10/18/17, showed a discrepancy of a half
an inch in length for Resident 1's left leg. The
interventions included strict hip precautions.
There was an entry showing a nurse to call the
physician for recommended hip x-ray to rule
