facility failed to provide supervision for one of 3
sampled residents (1). Resident 1 required
supervision due to impaired safety awareness
and an unstable psychological condition. This
failure resulted in Resident 1 lighting his
mattress on fire and endangering the lives of
the residents in the facility.
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated
diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder (mental
disorder characterized by abnormal thought
process), adjustment disorder with mixed
disturbances of emotions and conduct (a
mental disorder with excessive reaction to a
stressful life event which causes negative
behavioral changes and impacts emotional
stability), and major depressive disorder (a
mental health problem characterized by
persistently depressed mood or loss of interest
in activities, causing significant impairment in
daily life). Further review of Resident 1's
clinical record indicated a physician order dated
9/15/17 for oxygen at two liters per minute via
nasal cannula as needed for shortness of
breath.
Review of Resident 1's care plan initiated on
9/15/17 indicated heightened safety risk due to
impaired safety awareness and unstable
psychological condition. Among the
interventions included staff supervision during
smoking times and staff to retain lighters.
During an interview with licensed vocational
nurse A (LVN A) on 1/11/18 at 10:40 a.m., she
stated Resident 1 requested to smoke. LVN A
stated she gave certified nursing assistant B
(CNA B) Resident 1's cigarette and lighter. She
stated the charge nurse has Resident 1's
lighter locked in the medication cart. LVN A
stated activity staff who supervised Resident 1
