(ii) The resident’s wishes and preferences must
be considered in the exercise of rights by the
representative.
(iii) To the extent practicable, the resident must
be provided with opportunities to participate in
the care planning process.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one sampled
resident (5) and one non-sampled resident (30)
were appropriately assisted by the legally
appointed individual/representatives to exercise
their rights. This failure had the potential of not
promoting and maintaining the residents'
highest practicable mental, physical and
psychological well-being.
Findings:
1. Resident 30's clinical record was reviewed.
The resident was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including dementia (a gradual loss
of memory and cognition) without behavioral
disturbance, epilepsy (a disorder of the nervous
system that can cause people to suddenly
become unconscious and to have violent,
uncontrolled movements of the body), anxiety
disorder (a mental illness in which a person is
so anxious that their normal life is affected),
paranoid schizophrenia (a disease of
disordered thoughts causing someone to be
unreasonably suspicious of other people), and
psychosis (a severe mental disorder in which
thought and emotions are so impaired that
contact is lost with external reality).

indicated his cognitive skills for daily decision

Review of Resident 30's Physician Orders for
8/1/17-8/31/17, indicated: "MD determines that
Resident does not have the Mental Capacity to
make healthcare decisions as per History
& Physical or Transfer orders or preferred
intensity of care".
Review of Resident 30's face sheet dated
August 17, 2017 indicated the facility's
interdisciplinary team (IDT, facility staff
members from different departments who
coordinate care provided to residents) was
designated as the responsible party (RP, health
care decision maker).
During an interview with the social service
assistant (SSA) on 8/17/17, at 4:15 p.m., she
confirmed the IDT as the responsible party
(RP) for Resident 30. The SSA reviewed
Resident 30's clinical record and was unable to
find documentation indicating an
interdisciplinary team meeting was conducted
to designate the IDT as the responsible party.
2. Review of Resident 5's clinical record
indicated she was readmitted to the facility with
diagnoses including dementia. Resident 5's
MDS dated 4/28/17 indicated Resident 5 had a
BIMS (Brief interview of mental status) score of
7 (ranging from 0 to 15, 7 indicating severe
impairment).
Review of Resident 5's Physician Orders dated
4/21/17 indicated she did not have the mental
capacity to make healthcare decisions. On
4/21/17, Resident 5 signed consent to treat,
consent to the disclosure of her medical record
and consent to photograph. Resident 5 also
signed an undated consent for immunization
and admission bedhold acknowledgement.

During an interview with licensed vocational

indicated that Resident 5 was confused and
she would not let Resident 5 sign a document
but would call a family member.
During an interview and record review with the
director of nursing (DON) on 8/15/17 at 2:10
p.m., she claimed that if the physician's order
indicated Resident 5 had no capacity to make
healthcare decisions, Resident 5 should not be

Review of the facility policy titled "Epple Bill",
dated November 2016, indicated "To determine
the existence of a person with legal authority,
the physician must interview the resident,
review the medical record and consult with
facility staff, as appropriate, and with family and
friends of the resident, if any have been
identified. The Ombudsman must be contacted
also and verify that there is no available or
willing representative for the resident. Where
informed consent is required and the physician
has determined that the resident lacks capacity
to make health care decisions and there is no
person with legal authority to make those
decisions on behalf of the resident, the facility
shall conduct an interdisciplinary team (IDT)
(sometimes referred to as an Epple Committee)
to review the prescribed medical intervention
prior to its administration. The IDT shall
oversee the care of the resident, utilizing a
team approach to assessment and care
planning. The team shall include the resident's
physician, the registered professional nurse
with responsibility for the resident, and other
appropriate staff in disciplines as determined
by the resident's needs, and where appropriate,
a resident representative, in accordance with
federal and state requirements. The
Ombudsman must be contacted and must
validate the resident does not have any

Based on interview and record review, the

20 sampled residents (14) when Resident 14
refused the antibiotic (medication used to treat
infections), requested to have intravenous (IV,
medication given into the vein) line and be
transferred to the emergency department (ED)
for insertion of intravenous access for an IV
line. This practice had the potential to cause a
delay of treatment and inability to address the
condition timely.
Review of Resident 14's clinical record
indicated he was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including UTI (urinary tract
infection), overactive bladder and paraplegia
(paralysis of the lower half of the body). The

he came from an appointment with his primary
physician and had an order to take
clindamycin. Resident 14 indicated that he
requested to have IV clindamycin instead of
taking it by mouth, to licensed vocational nurse
P (LVN P). According to Resident 14, LNV P
said he told him the order was only to take by
mouth. Resident 14 told LVN P that he wanted
to be transferred to the ED to get the IV
medication. Resident 14 claimed he refused to
take the antibiotic by mouth because, "They

Findings:
Review of Resident 14's clinical record
indicated he was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including UTI (urinary tact infection),
overactive bladder, anxiety and paraplegia
(paralysis of the lower half of the body). The
Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool)
dated 1/28/17 indicated Resident 14 had a

During an initial tour on 8/15/17 at 7:45 a.m.,
Resident 14 was in the bed located by the door
and had his curtains closed. An oxygen
concentrator (a device used to deliver oxygen)
being used by his roommate in the next bed,
was situated by Resident 14's bedside table in
between the beds.
During a concurrent observation and interview
with licensed vocational nurse E ( LVN E), she
opened Resident 14's curtain and fixed the
oxygen concentrator without asking Resident
14 permission. She stated the oxygen
concentrator belonged to Resident 14's
roommate. LVN E stated there were not
enough electric outlets, and the oxygen
concentrator was connected to an extension
cord. LVN E stated the oxygen concentrator
should not have been occupying Resident 14's
space.
During an interview with Resident 14 on

open his curtains without asking his permission
whenever his roommate used the oxygen
concentrator. He further stated the oxygen
concentrator noise bothered him and at times it
was hard to fall asleep.

(d) The facility must provide medically-related
social services to attain or maintain the highest
practicable physical, mental and psychosocial
well-being of each resident.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide medically-related social
services for one of 20 sampled residents (16).
Resident 16 had $87 missing and the resident
had no follow-up regarding the result of the
investigation by the facility. This failure had the
potential to negatively affect the mental and
psychosocial well-being of the resident.
Findings:
Review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, an assessment tool) dated 7/3/17
indicated she was cognitively intact and could
make decisions.
During a group meeting on 8/15/17 at 10:10
a.m., Resident 16 stated she had $87 missing
and it happened three weeks prior. She stated
she reported the missing money to the social
service assistant (SSA) but the SSA never
came back and talked to her about the missing

During interview and record review with the
SSA on 8/15/17 at 3 p.m., she stated she was
aware missing money of Resident 16's and it
was reported to her on 7/30/17. There was no
documentation the SSA followed up regarding
Resident 16's missing money.
Review of the facility's 11/2016 policy, "Theft
and Loss Report", indicated missing property
not located by nursing staff or the laundry
department within 24 to 48 hours was to be
referred to the Social Service Department.
Social Services will inform the resident and
family of their right to file a grievance with
facility administration or the ombudsman. The
facility department heads are responsible for
follow-up of missing item complaints received.
Review of the facility's, "Job Description of

the SSA follows up on missing items or
property and provides a positive approach to
effectively solve the problem.

The facility must provide(i)(1) A safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike
environment, allowing the resident to use his or
her personal belongings to the extent possible.
(i) This includes ensuring that the resident can
receive care and services safely and that the
physical layout of the facility maximizes
resident independence and does not pose a
safety risk.
(ii) The facility shall exercise reasonable care
for the protection of the resident's property from
loss or theft.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure a home-like
environment for one sampled resident (14)
when a personal electric fan was not
maintained in a clean order. This practice had
the potential to affect the resident's physical
and emotional well-being.
Findings:
Review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, an assessment tool) dated 1/28/17
indicated Resident 14 had a BIMS (Brief
interview of mental status) score of 14 (ranging
from 13 to 15, 14 being cognitively intact).
During an observation on 8/16/17 at 1:25 p.m.,
Resident 14's black electric fan was operating
and had a thick accumulation of gray particles
on its front grill and blades.
During a concurrent interview with Resident 14,
he stated that the fan has been "dirty" and the
facility was not doing anything about it.

supervisor (HS) on 8/17/17, she stated
Resident 14 was known to have the door and
curtains closed all the time and it was a
challenge to clean the resident's room. The HS
stated the facility knew of this problem and she
was not aware of the fan condition. There was

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to update a care plan for one of 20
sampled residents (8) related to falls. Resident
8's care plan for falls, dated 4/27/17, 5/7/17,
5/11/17, 5/21/17, and 6/6/17 was not updated
and revised to prevent future falls. These
failures had the potential to result in the
inability to identify the resident's individualized
care issues and implement person-centered
care plans to address the respective identified
needs.
Findings:
Review of Resident 8's clinical record indicated
he was admitted with diagnoses including falls,
dementia (memory problem), dysphasia
(communication disorder), Alzheimer's disease
(progressive mental deterioration), muscle
weakness, and lack of coordination. His
Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool)

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to provide services
according to accepted standards of clinical
practice for one of 20 sampled residents (11)
and one non-sampled resident (30). For
Resident 11, the licensed nurses administered
two doses of furosemide (water pill, treats fluid
retention in people with congestive heart
failure) and potassium chloride (supplement
used to treat low amounts of potassium in the
blood, helps the heart work properly). For
Resident 30, there were no physician orders,
care plan, and interdisciplinary team (IDT)
notes for use of socks on both arms. These
failures had the potential to cause health
complications to the residents.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 11's clinical record
indicated he was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including congestive heart failure.
Review of the physician's order dated 7/14/17
indicated to give Furosemide 40 mg (mg, unit
of measurment), one tablet by mouth one time
a day for edema, and to hold from 7/17/17 to
7/23/17. On 7/20/17, a physician's order
indicated to give Furosemide 80 mg by mouth
one time a day for edema with no stop date.
On 7/14/17, a physician's order indicated to
give Potassium Chloride Liquid 20

nursing (DON) on 8/16/17 at 8:30 a.m., NS A
confirmed the above observation. She stated
the red indicator on the oxygen tank meant it
was empty and needed to be replaced. The
DON indicated that staff should be checking
the oxygen condition during nursing rounds to
see if it's functional.
A review of the facility's 2012 "Oxygen Use"
policy indicated routine equipment inspection
and maintenance should be performed based
on manufacturer's recommendations.

483.45(e) Psychotropic Drugs.
Based on a comprehensive assessment of a
resident, the facility must ensure that-(1) Residents who have not used psychotropic
drugs are not given these drugs unless the
medication is necessary to treat a specific
condition as diagnosed and documented in the
clinical record;
(2) Residents who use psychotropic drugs
receive gradual dose reductions, and
behavioral interventions, unless clinically
contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue
these drugs;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure 3 of 20 sampled
residents (8, 12, and 17) were free from
unnecessary drugs when:
1) The facility did not monitor the target
behavior for the use of Nuedexta (medication to
treat pseudobulbar affect, PBA, a specific
condition of sudden, frequent laughing and/or
crying episodes) on Resident 17; two licensed
nurses were unable to identify the indication
and target behaviors for Nuedexta; two
licensed nurses and the director of nursing
(DON) did not find any care plan and target
behavior monitoring for the use of Nuedexta for
Resident 17

2) The facility did not identify the behavior and
side effects for the use of alprazolam
(antianxiety medication) for Resident 12
3) The facility did not monitor the target
behaviors for the use of Depakote (an
anticonvulsant medication) for Residents 8
This failure had the potential to result in
unnecessary medication for the residents.
Findings:
1. Resident 17 was admitted on 8/2/17 with
diagnoses including insomnia (inability to
sleep), obstructive sleep apnea (the airway
collapses or becomes blocked during sleep),
bipolar disorder (a brain disorder that causes
unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels,
and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks),
history of venous thrombosis (formation or
presence of a blood clot in a blood vessel) and
embolism (obstruction in a blood vessel due to
a blood clot or foreign matter), anxiety disorder
(a mental illness in which a person is so
anxious that their normal life is affected),
hypertension (high blood pressure).
On 8/16/17, a review of Resident 17's clinical
record indicated a physician order with start
date of 8/2/17 for, "Nuedexta Capsule 20-10
mg (mg, unit of measurement) Give 1 capsule
by mouth two times a day for neurological
disorder due to multiple CVAs".
(Cerebrovascular Accidents-the medical term
for a stroke. A stroke is when blood flow to a
part of the brain is stopped either by a blockage
or the rupture of a blood vessel.).
There was no documented evidence in the
medical record that the facility monitored target
behaviors and had a care plan specific to
Nuedexta for Resident 17.

During an interview with licensed vocational
nurse F (LVN F) on 8/17/17 at 1:30 p.m., he
stated he could not remember what the
indication was for Nuedexta, and he was not
familiar with the drug. LVN F checked the
doctor's order on the computer, he quoted the
order for Resident 17 was for, "neurological
disorder for multiple CVAs". LVN F could not
state the target behaviors monitored for
Nuedexta, and he confirmed there was no
target behaviors monitored for the use of
Nuedexta for Resident 17.
During an interview with registered nurse G
(RN G) on 8/17/17 at 3:40 p.m., she stated
Nuedexta is a, "psych medication". She could
not state the indication and target behaviors for
Nuedexta. RN G could not show any care plan
or target behavior monitoring on Nuedexta for
Resident 17. In a concurrent interview with the
DON, she reviewed Resident 17's medical
record and stated she could not find a care
plan and target behavior monitoring on
Nuedexta for Resident 17.
During an interview with registered nurse J (RN
J) on 8/18/17 at 9:20 a.m., she stated if the
resident had been there two weeks, a care plan
should have been initiated.
According to http://www.avanir.com/nuedexta
(website for Nuedexta), Nuedexta is approved
for the treatment of PseudoBulbar Affect
(PBA). PBA is a medical condition that causes
involuntary, sudden, and frequent episodes of
crying and/or laughing in people living with
certain neurologic conditions or brain injury.
PBA episodes are typically exaggerated or
don't match how the person feels. PBA is
distinct and different from other types of
emotional changes caused by neurologic
disease or injury. Nuedexta is not an
antidepressant, an antipsychotic, anxiolytic, or

2. Review of Resident 12's clinical record
indicated she was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including anxiety disorder (the
reaction to situations perceived as stressful or
dangerous).
A review of the physician's orders on 8/15/17
indicated to give alprazolam tablet (used to
treat anxiety disorders) 0.25 milligram (mg, a
unit measurement) every twenty-four hours as
needed for anxiety .
Review of Resident 12's medication
administration record (MAR) indicated that
alprazolam was given on 8/2, 8/3, 8/8, 8/9,
8/12, and 8/14/17.
During an interview and record review with
nursing supervisor A (NS A) on 8/17/17 at 7:45
a.m., she indicated there should be a
description of Resident 12's behavior whenever
alprazolam medication was given as this was
an as needed medication, and documentation
for effectiveness under order administration
notes. On 8/16/16, alprazolam 0.25 mg was
given at 19:28 with Resident 12's behavior
described as increased agitation, kicking staff
and throwing away clothes. NS A confirmed
that on 8/2, 8/3, 8/8, 8/9, 8/12, and 8/14/17
there were no identified behaviors documented,

3. Review of Resident 8's clinical record
indicated he was admitted on 2/18/17 with
diagnoses including delirium (a mental
disturbance characterized by confused thinking
and disrupted attention) and dementia (memory
problem). His Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment tool), dated 2/25/17, indicated the
resident had severely impaired cognition
(mental process). There was no documentation
for specific behavior monitoring for delirium.
Review of Resident 8's physician's order dated
7/9/17 indicated Depakote 125 mg by mouth
two times daily for delirium.
Review of Residents 8's potential behavior
disturbance care plan, dated 3/27/17 indicated
it was related to delirium as evidenced by
picking at things which were not present,
talking to people that were not present, heading
in the direction of objects or things that are not
present, placing the resident at increased risk
for fall with injury.
During an interview with the pharmacy
consultant on 8/16/17 at 4:30 a.m., he stated
Resident 8 should have specific behavior
monitoring for the use of Depakote. He also
stated the specific behavior should have been
monitored, which could potentially endanger
the safety of the resident related to a fall.
During an interview with the director of nursing
(DON) on 8/18/17 at 11:50 a.m., she
acknowledged Resident 8's Depakote should
include specific behaviors to be monitored for.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review the
facility failed to ensure an accurate clinical
record for three sampled residents (6, 10, and
17) and one non-sampled resident (30) when:
1) Resident 6's preadmission screening and
resident review report (PASRR, an evaluation
data requirement to determine whether a
resident with mental illness (MI) required
specialized services such as referral to a
mental health authority) did not reflect a mental
illness (MI) diagnosis.
2) Resident 10's updated PASRR was not
uploaded timely to the point click care (PCC, a
clinical record system) and the minimum data
set (MDS, an assessment tool) did not reflect
psychiatric/mood disorder diagnosis.
3) Resident 17's PASRR did not reflect the
presence of a MI diagnosis and prescribed
psychotropic medications.
4) Resident 30's PASRR Mental Illness Screen
did not reflect an MI diagnosis.
These had the potential to inaccurately reflect
the clinical status necessary to meet and

should submit another PASRR.

admission: If a resident's record at the time of
admission does not indicate a mental disorder
and later information is provided stating that the
resident does have a mental disorder a PASRR
is to be submitted as a Resident Review
