F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record reviews, observations, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the medical records were accurately documented in accordance with acceptable standards of practice for one (Resident #81) of two residents reviewed for respiratory care; and for one (Resident #91) of one resident reviewed for skin care, from a total of 23 residents in the sample. The findings include: 1. A record review for Resident #81 revealed an admission date of 9/11/21, with diagnoses including cancer, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/asthma (diseases that block air flow and make it difficult to breath). A review of the quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15 points, indicating she was cognitively intact and able to independently make decisions. A review of Resident #81's physician's order dated 11/1/21 revealed BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) AUTO order that read: At bedtime and as needed, ok to use home settings, every shift. A review of the care plan for Resident #81 revealed she was care planned on 2/16/22 for her diagnosis of sleep apnea, with a goal to adhere to her BiPAP physician's orders and tolerate treatment through the next review date. Interventions included BiPAP as ordered; Assure it is working correctly; Assess frequently for tolerance to treatment; and encourage to wear as ordered. Instruct resident on the benefits and risks related to treatment. If resident refuses to use the BiPAP, document the refusal, inform the physician and if needed, get a risk/benefit form signed. (Photographic evidence was obtained) During an inspection of Resident #81's room on 3/28/22 at 11:31 AM, a BiPAP machine was observed on the resident's bedside table. During a follow up inspection of Resident #81's room on 3/30/22 at 10:15 AM, the BiPAP machine was observed in the same location with two bed pillows sitting on top of the machine. An interview was conducted with Resident #81 on 3/30/22 at 1:21 PM. She stated, she was doing well. When she was asked about her use of the BiPAP machine. She said, she used the device at home, but had never used it since her admission to the facility. She no longer needed it. Resident #81 stated if she did need to use it, she was sure all she had to do was to notify the nurse; however, there was no reason for her to use it.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A record review of Resident #81's electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) for March 2022 revealed the BiPAP device was signed off, indicating it was used, on every shift (day, evening, night) by the facility nurses for the entire month of March 2022. A Key Code at the bottom of the eMAR revealed the number 2 was to be used for any medication/treatment refused. The code had not been used all month. (Photographic evidence was obtained) Residents Affected - Few During an interview with Employee B, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 3/30/22 at 1:41 PM, she confirmed that she had never seen Resident #81 use the BiPAP machine. During an interview with Employee C, Registered Nurse (RN) on 3/30/22 at 2:34 PM, she thought Resident #81 used her BiPAP, but had never seen her using it. She explained that if the resident refused to use the machine, staff would code the electronic medication or treatment administration record to indicate resident refusal. Employee C, RN reported that Resident #81 was alert and oriented. A second interview was conducted with Resident #81 on 3/31/22 at 9:50 AM. During the conversation, she again denied ever using the BiPAP while a resident of the facility. She only used it at home. Observation at this time found the BiPAP in same location on the bedside table, and the snorkel (nosepiece) had not moved since the first observation.

She was asked to review the resident's March eMAR. After reviewing the eMAR, she confirmed that the nurses had signed off that the machine was being used during the day, evening, and night shift from 3/1-3/29/22. She explained that Resident #81 was alert and oriented and, to her knowledge, had never refused any medications or treatments.
