These failures had the potential for unsafe administration of medications or treatments that could possibly result to adverse effects and reactions. Findings: During the initial tour on 11/13/17 at 8:28 a.m., two tubes labeled "Medline clear and skin protectant" and "Hydrophilic wound dressing" creams were found at the bedside table of Resident 20. In a concurrent interview with registered nurse E (RN E), she confirmed the above observation and stated, she was not sure if those creams could be left at bedside but had to check with the director of nursing (DON). RN E then took the creams out of the room. Resident 20's clinical record indicated, she was admitted to the facility on 11/7/2017, with "Assessment for Self-Administration of Medications" done on 11/7/17 indicating she cannot self-dminister medications. No evidence was found indicating that a care plan, physician's order or IDT review for medication self-administration were done. During an interview with DON on 11/14/17 at 11:35 a.m., she stated no creams used for treatment or for skin protection and prophylaxis are be left at bedside without a doctor's order. In an interview with the assistant director of nursing (ADON) on 11/15/17 at 10:30 a.m., she stated, she talked to Resident 20 and told her that no creams are to be left at bedside and only nurses are allowed to apply creams used for skin protection.

A review of Resident 21's interdisciplinary team (IDT, a coordinated group of experts from several different fields who work together toward a common goal that requires multiple skills sets or areas of expertise in order to succeed) assessment for self - administration of medications dated 10/29/17 indicated Resident 21 preferred licensed nurses (LN) to administer his medications. During the initial tour, on 11/23/17, at 8 a.m., a plastic bottle of herbal dietary supplement was at the bedside of Resident 21. In another observation and interview, on 11/15/17 at 4:50 a.m., Resident 21's family member (FM) was at the bedside. The FM stated she brought the bottle of Chinese herb, a kind of fruit syrup, for Resident 21's sore throat (condition marked by pain in the throat, caused by inflammation (reddened, swollen, hot) due to a cold or other virus). The FM stated she did not notify the facility staff about the herbal bottle. In a concurrent interview, on 11/15/17, at 5 p.m., the DON stated Resident 21 should have a physician's order for the herbal medication. She also stated Resident 21 should not be allowed to keep the herbal medication at bedside. A review of the facility's 12/2016 revised policy on "Self Administration of Medication" indicated, residents have the right to selfadminister medications if the he nurse will obtain a physician's order for each resident conducting self-administration of medications".

The resident has a right to be treated with respect and dignity, including: §483.10(e)(1) The right to be free from any physical or chemical restraints imposed for purposes of discipline or convenience, and not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms, consistent with §483.12(a)(2). 42 CFR §483.12, 483.12(a)(2) The resident has the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation as defined in this subpart. This includes but is not limited to freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary seclusion and any physical or chemical restraint not required to treat the resident’s symptoms.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure Resident 6 was free from physical restraint when behaviors of getting up or ambulating unassisted was not properly assessed, evaluated or monitored and when restraint was indicated to prevent unassisted transfer. This failure could have contributed to Resident 6's agitation and repeated falls. Findings: A review of Resident 6's clinical record indicated he was admitted on 11/21/16 with diagnoses including dementia (decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities) and altered mental status (AMS, changes in brain function, such as confusion, amnesia (memory loss), loss of alertness, disorientation (not cognizant of self, time, or place), defects in judgment or thought, unusual or strange behavior, poor regulation of emotions, and disruptions in perception) secondary to urinary tract infection (UTI, infection in any part of the urinary system kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra). A review of the nurses notes on 11/22/16 indicated Resident 6 was verbally responsive with confusion, with episodes of getting up unattended, and was non-compliant to stay in the wheelchair. On 11/23/16, Resident 6 was again verbally responsive with confusion with episodes of repeatedly getting up from wheelchair, had attempted to ambulate, was combative and attempted to hit staff.

A review of the IDT quarterly physical restraint assessment dated 2/26/17, 5/30/17, and 8/23/17 indicated seatbelt in wheelchair to prevent unassisted transfer and ambulation. A review of the restraint care plan dated 11/24/16 indicated Resident 6 was "at risk for agitation due to use of physical restraint" (seatbelt in wheelchair) and to monitor resident behavior while on restraints. A review of the following physician's orders were indicated for agitation: on 8/25/17, Paxil (an antidepressant drugs, used to treat major depressive disorder (causes severe symptoms that affect feeling, thinking, and handling daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working) was started for depression with agitation (state of feeling irritated or restless) manifested by fidgeting, on 8/26/17, Depakene 250 milligram/5 mililiter (mg/ml, unit of measurement) was started for agitation with behavioral disturbance manifested by grabbing staff, and on 8/24/17, Ambien was started every hour of sleep for insomnia.

The DON also reviewed Resident 6's hourly monitoring for 14 days. She stated staff entries were incomplete for 7/19/17 and 7/20/17. She added there was no IDT assessment or evaluation for the hourly monitoring whether it was effective or not for Resident 6's safety.

Per report, the certified nursing assistant (CNA) while changing the resident's diaper turned the resident to the left side, the CNA tried to prevent the fall but because the resident's weight was too much she put the resident to sit on the floor.
