The SSA stated two residents approached her complaining they could not sleep because of Resident 10's noisy behavior. The SSA stated she did not file the residents' complaints as grievances because they did not request it as such. During a follow-up interview on 4/4/17 at 12:30 p.m., SSA O recalled Resident 10 had been yelling for about a year and he was audible to the end of the hallway. When Resident 10 yelled, the SSA stated, he often asked for pain medication and he would curse and call people names. She said he was currently yelling approximately six times per day. During an interview on 4/6/17 at 8:15 a.m., the director of social services stated she was aware of Resident 10's behavior of yelling and being loud.

This failure had the potential to allow for unsafe and improper administration of medication. Findings: During a meal observation on 4/4/17, at 12:45 p.m., in Resident 12's room, one bottle of liniment oil was found on top of her bedside table. During a concurrent interview with Resident 12, she stated the liniment oil had always been available at her bedside because she personally applied the oil whenever she had pain to her knees. During a review of the Resident 12's clinical record the Minimum Data Set ((MDS), an assessment tool) dated 1/2017 indicated moderate impairment with her cognitive status. The physician's order did not show an order for liniment oil. The last IDT assessment for selfadministration was on 9/17/14. During an observation with assistant director of nursing K (ADON K) on 4/4/17, at 2:50 p.m., in Resident 12's room, one bottle of liniment oil was seen on top of the resident's bedside table next to a bottle of lotion.

During an observation and interview on 4/4/17 at 3:30 p.m., Resident 18 was in her bed and her feet were exposed. Her toenails, especially the great toenails, were long and curving over the end of the toe. During an interview at the time of observation, licensed vocational nurse (LVN) I described Resident 18's left and right great toenails as long and curved, and 3 cm (centimeter, a metric unit of measurement, one inch is 2.5 cm) in length (area situated farthest from the point of attachment). The left third and forth toenails were three cm and the second toenail was 2.5 cm in length. LVN I stated Resident 18 should have podiatry services. During an interview on 4/6/17 at 8:15 a.m., the director of social services (DSS) stated a podiatrist came to the facility every other week. A podiatry referral for Resident 18 was sent in February 2017 and the DSS did not know why there had been a delay in obtaining podiatry services. A review of Resident 18's podiatry note indicated her ten toenails were long and thickened and all nails were debrided (trimmed). The "Availability of Services, Podiatry" policy dated August 2013, indicated podiatry services was to be provided to residents as needed.

During an interview with registered nurse E (RN E) on 4/3/17 at 4:05 p.m., she reviewed the clinical records of Residents 21, 28, 29, and 30 regarding PICC measurement. She stated staff measured the external length and arm circumference for PICC use to ensure the placement. She stated staff should obtain the original length left at insertion from an acute care hospital upon admission. She stated any differences should be reported to the physicians, and nurses who measured had all different ways to measure the length. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 4/4/17 at 1 p.m., he stated nurses had different ways to measure PICC's external length and arm circumference. He stated when there was any difference identified in measurement of more than 2 cm, the physician should be notified. He stated the facility did not have a policy and procedure regarding how to measure PICC's external length and arm circumference and when staff should notify physicians.

This failure had the potential for staff to inaccurately evaluate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the medication and placed the resident at risk for receiving unnecessary drugs. Findings: Review of Resident 10's clinical record indicated his diagnosis included major depressive disorder (mental disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness or a lack of interest). Review of Resident 10's physician order indicated Paroxetine (also known as Paxil) was started on 11/01/2016 for depression for verbalization of sadness related to left hand contracture (abnormal shortening of muscle tissue, rendering the muscle highly resistant to stretching). It also indicated Resident 10 also had a physician's order, started on 11/01/2016, to monitor episodes of depression as evidenced by verbalization of sadness related to left hand contracture every shift (eight hours). Review of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Notes, titled Psychosocial Psychotropic/Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR)/Behavior Management, with the completion date of 01/22/17, indicated twice under Behavioral Summary that Resident 10 had "no behaviors" exhibited for depression. It also indicated "no monitoring" and "na" under Summary of Target Behavior. Review of the MRR with the completed dates of 11/28/2016, 11/30/2016, 1/5/2017, 2/7/2017, and 3/31/2017 indicated no irregularities were reported to the staff or physician regarding the behavior monitoring for depression to support the use of Paroxetine.

She stated only the nurses' initials was documented and there was no frequency documented for the number of episodes the behavior was exhibited by Resident 10. During a concurrent record review and telephone interview with CP M on 4/5/17 at 3:50 p.m., she stated behaviors have to be quantified to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication. She stated she reviewed the behavior monitoring monthly for the psychotropic review to identify if it is appropriate and would go to the MAR to look for how many times a behavior occured in the prior 14 days. She reviewed the MAR and was unable to find documentation of the frequency for the behavior monitoring of depression for Paroxetine. She stated staff had to indicate how a behavior happened and quantify the behavior to evaluate effectiveness but it was not being done. Review of the Clinical Pharmacist Job Description, dated 2013, indicated the pharmacist must "perform for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Serices (CMS) required Medication Regimen Review as required by law" and "identify patients receiving medication known to have high potential of risks and manages associated risk by improving monitoring."

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure all controlled substance (CS) medications (medications with a high risk for abuse and addiction) were accounted for appropriately during a review of random CS records for one of 24 sampled residents (21) and one non-sampled resident (25). Staff signed out the CS medication from the inventory sheet without subsequent documentation in the Medication Administration Record (MAR) as given. These failures had the potential to result in the abuse or the misuse of controlled medications.
