This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide necessary care and services consistent with the comprehensive plan of care for two of 10 sampled residents (5 and 8). For Resident 5, a fall intervention was not implemented. For Resident 8, the assessment of an AV fistula (connection made between an artery and a vein to create an access for dialysis [a medical procedure using special machines to filter waste and excess water from the body]) and intake and output monitoring were not consistently done. These failures had the potential to affect the residents' health and safety. Findings: 1. Review of Resident 5's clinical record indicated she had diagnoses including osteoporosis (bone weakness) and dementia. Review of Resident 5's Situation Background Assessment Recommendation (SBAR) Communication Form (communication tool) and progress notes, indicated she fell on 4/15/17. Review of Resident 5's Morse Fall Scale (an assessment tool that can predict the likelihood that a person will fall), dated 4/15/17, indicated her score was 75. A score of 45 and higher indicated a high risk for falls.

LVN F confirmed the star label intervention was in Resident 5's care plan and stated the star label should be on her door. Review of the facility's 12/2007 policy, "Managing Falls and Fall Risk," indicated staff will try various interventions based on assessment of the nature or category of falling. 2. Review of Resident 8's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including end stage renal disease (kidneys no longer function well enough) and congestive heart failure (inability of the heart to pump enough blood). Review of Resident 8's physician order, dated 5/10/17, indicated hemodialysis (process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally) three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays at 12 p.m., fluid restrictions 1200 milliliters (ml, unit of measurement) per day and to monitor intake and output every shift. Review of Resident 8's intake and output records indicated there were missing entries of the amount she drank or voided from the periods of 7/20/17 to 7/28/17 and 7/30/17 to 8/2/17. Review of Resident 8's nursing care plan dated 5/11/17 indicated to monitor intake and output. During an interview on 8/2/17 at 3:15 p.m. with certified nursing assistant M (CNA M) she stated CNA's should have recorded Resident 8's intake and output every shift from 7/20/17 to 7/28/17 and 7/30/17 to 8/2/17.

She stated the CNA's should have recorded Resident 8's intake and output on those days. During an interview on 8/3/17 at 11:00 a.m. with the director of nursing (DON), he stated intake and output for Resident 8 should have been recorded because there was a physician order. Review of the undated facility's policy and procedure entitled, "Intake, Measuring and Recording", indicated to maintain an accurate measurement of the resident's intake and output and assess fluid balance on residents with specific physicians' orders for measurement on intake and output and of residents with an order for specific total fluid intake. 3. Review of Resident 8's physician order, dated 5/10/17, indicated to monitor for the presence of a bruit (whooshing sound heard on listening auscultation) and thrill (vibration felt by palpation) on the AV (arteriovenous fistula-a passageway between an artery and a vein made in order to cleanse the blood of waste products and water when the kidney can no longer perform that function.) fistula every shift.

During an interview on 8/3/17 at 7:55 a.m. with registered nurse L (RN L), the RN L confirmed there was no documentation that licensed staff in the facility monitored the bruit and thrill of Resident 8's AV fistula on the above dates. During an interview on 8/3/17 at 11:25 a.m., Resident 8 stated staff in the facility did not check her right arm. The resident stated only staff in the dialysis center check her right arm whenever she goes there for dialysis. Review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 6/9/17 indicated her cognition (ability to remember, judge and reason out) was intact. During an interview on 8/3/17 at 11:46 a.m., LVN F stated licensed nurses should monitor the bruit and thrill on Resident 8's right arm AV fistula as ordered by the physician every shift to prevent possible complications. Review of the facility's policy and procedure dated 4/2013 entitled, "Hemodialysis Catheters", indicated the general medical nurse should document in the resident's medical record every shift as follows: if dialysis was done during shift and observation post dialysis.
