Findings: Review of Resident 32's clinical record indicated the facility transferred her to an acute care hospital on 10/25/19 and 11/28/19. There was no documentation in the clinical record indicating the facility informed the ombudsman of these transfers. Review of Resident 4's clinical record indicated the facility transferred her to an acute care hospital on 8/16/19.

This failure had the potential to limit the rights of the resident or his responsible party (RP, a person who is accountable in making decisions on behalf of the resident) to know the duration of a bed-hold and permitting for return to the facility. Findings: Review of Resident 21's clinical record indicated on 12/2/19, Resident 21 was transferred to an acute care hospital for evaluation after a chemotherapy (type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anticancer drugs) appointment. The record had no documentation or evidence that a written notice of bed-hold was given to the resident or to the resident's family or RP. During an interview with the admission manager (AM) on 12/18/19 at 1:27 p.m., he confirmed the bed hold notification was not issued.

Review of Resident 15's care plan dated 8/1/19, indicated she needed assistance with activities of daily living (ADL's, basic tasks of everyday life i.e. eating, bathing, dressing) related to weakness due to recent illness. During observations on 12/16/19 at 11:00 a.m. and 12/17/19 at 7:42 a.m., Resident 15 was in bed with her eyes closed. During an interview with licensed vocational nurse G (LVN G) on 12/17/19 at 7:42 a.m., he stated Resident 15 had been refusing to get up, refusing to take medications, and usually was non-verbal for quite a long time. During an interview with the interim director of nursing (IDON) on 12/17/19 at 12:19 p.m., she reviewed Resident 15's care plan.

The committee noted Resident 16 had been at risk for pressure injury and recommended to keep feet elevated off of the bed at all times while in bed. Review of the physician wound service (PWS) "Initial Wound Evaluation and Management Summary" dated 11/27/19, indicated Resident 16 had a Stage III PU of the left heel for at least seven days duration (11/20/19). The PWS recommended to off-load heel wound (keep left heel up and not touching the bed) and to reposition resident according to facility protocol. Review of Resident 16's "Treatment Administration Record (TAR)" dated October through December, indicated Resident 16 was turned every two hours since admission beginning on 10/16/19 but there was no indication Resident 16's heels were offloaded from the bed. During an observation on 12/18/19 at 10:50 a.m., Resident 16 was lying in bed with lower legs elevated with two pillows and received assessment and treatment to his left heel by the PWS. PWS confirmed Resident 16's left heel Stage III PU developed after he was admitted to the facility. During an interview with the interim director of nursing (IDON) on 12/19/19 at 9:39 a.m., she stated the facility identified Resident 16's left heel wound was preventable.

CNA H stated she did not remember nurses telling her to check on Resident 4 every hour. CNA H stated the CNA's were busy and were not able to watch on her all the time. During an interview and record review with the interim director of nursing (IDON) on 12/18/19 at 10:15 a.m., she stated the post-fall committee should have recommended new interventions to prevent Resident 4 from having further falls for the falls on 6/11/19 or 6/19/19. The IDON stated toileting Resident 4 before breakfast and before bed were not new interventions, but were usual expectations of a certified nursing assistant (CNA). The IDON stated interventions which could have been recommended by the committee to prevent further falls were: to move Resident 4 closer to the nurses' station at an earlier date, to order physical therapy (PT) or occupational therapy (OT) for a strengthening evaluation and to provide written instructions of interventions to the CNA. The IDON stated the facility was unable to track if Resident 4 was actually checked on or toileted more than one time per shift due to the limitations of the facility's electronic documentation system which only allowd the CNA to document toileting and safety monitoring one time per shift.

The interventions included to administer analgesia (pain medication), monitor/document for side effects of pain medication, and notify physician if interventions are unsuccessful. Resident 213's care plan did not include nonpharmacological (without medicine) interventions to manage her pain. During an interview on 12/16/19 at 12:08 p.m., the interim director of nursing (IDON) reviewed Resident 213's orders and stated residents usually have pain medication ordered for mild, moderate, and severe pain. The IDON confirmed Resident 213's pain medication orders did not address pain with a rating of 4-6.
