Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' functional status assessments were accurate for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers, Resident #32. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #32's admission record showed the resident was initially admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following unspecified cerebrovascular disease affecting right dominant side. During an observation on 5/28/2024 at 9:15 AM, Resident #32 was lying in bed, wearing a hospital gown and a splint on his right hand. During an interview on 5/28/2024 at 9:15 AM, Resident #32 stated, I wear the splint on my hand for my contracture. I am able to move my left hand and arm. I will use my left hand to help me move the right hand. I am able to move my lower extremities, but not much. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 10:10 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, [Resident #32's name] is part of the restorative program where he is provided range of motion and placement of a splint.

[Resident #32's name] has always had extremity impairment since the beginning of his stay here. I consider there to be impairment in all extremities. The elbow would be the greater majority of it. Review of Resident #32's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed no impairment documented in functional limitation in range of motion of upper and lower extremities. During an interview on 5/30/2024 at 2:41 PM, the MDS Coordinator stated, [Resident #32's name] was coded incorrectly regarding his impairment of extremities. It will need to be corrected.
