F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record review, interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure that residents unable to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs), received necessary care and services to maintain proper grooming and personal hygiene, by failing to provide nail care for two (Residents #8 and #11) of four residents reviewed for ADLs, from a total sample of 16 residents. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: 1. During an interview with Resident #8 on 2/12/24 at 10:10 AM, his left hand was observed to be contracted around a washcloth. He explained that without the washcloth, his fingernails would dig into his palm. The resident's fingernails on both hands were soiled with dark brown substance resembling feces around the cuticles and under each nail. When asked if he was receiving any assistance with handwashing or nail care, he replied, No, I am not. A record review for Resident #8 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of medically complex conditions, bipolar disorder, diabetes mellitus, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and contracture. A review of the 5-day Medicare minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dated 12/15/23, revealed Resident #8 had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15 points, indicating cognitively intact. The assessment did not indicate any rejection of care. The resident required some help to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) and had upper and lower extremity impairments on one side. The resident was dependent on staff and required substantial to maximum assistance with bathing. A second observation of Resident #8 was made on 2/13/24 at 9:30 AM. He was feeding himself breakfast. The fingernails on both hands were again observed with dark brown matter under the nails and around the cuticles. Resident #8 again denied receiving assistance with handwashing or nail care, explaining he just runs his right hand under the water from the sink in his room to wash it. After confirming he was his own representative, Resident #8 granted permission to photograph his nails. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of Resident #8's care plan dated 8/9/23, indicated the resident needed assistance with ADLs related to weakness, decreased mobility status-post recent hospitalization/illness. The goal was to maintain and or his improve current level of function through next review date. Interventions included, but were not limited to, encourage and assist with ADLs including bathing and hygiene.

He showed both hands and fingernails. Both of his hands were severely contracted, and his fingers were bent in several directions. The nails on both hands were elongated and several of them had dark gray matter underneath them. Resident #11 stated he scratches himself a lot and that might be what the dark debris was from. He stated he was his own representative and granted permission for a photo. (Photographic evidence obtained) The resident held his hands out and said his fingernails had grown out; they used to be nubs. He could not report how often his nail care was offered and provided. A record review for Resident #11 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of cerebrovascular accident (CVA, or stroke), quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis and hand contracture. A review of the quarterly MDS assessment, dated 1/14/24, revealed Resident #11 had a BIMS score of 15, indicating cognitively intact. The resident was dependent on staff for showering/bathing and required partial to limited assistance with personal hygiene. During a second visit to Resident #11's room on 2/13/24 at 1:30 PM, he was asked if he had ever refused to let staff provide fingernail care. He stated, Not to my knowledge. Resident #11 was care planned on 1/14/24 for an ADL self-care performance deficit related to chronic medical conditions, and CVA. Interventions included provision of appropriate assistance with hygiene. He was also care planned for his behavioral needs, which included his preference to have nails trimmed every week.

If a resident needs care they should be provided that care. Resident #8 requires prompts in the morning to complete hygiene. He sometimes refuses, but when he needs it, he demands that care. When asked if she knew he engaged in rectal digging, due to the color of the debris under and around his nails, she stated she believed he might. Resident #8 might also be trying to wipe himself after bowel movements. When shown the photographs of Resident #8 and Resident #11's fingernails, she acknowledged the undesirable conditions.

Employee B RN confirmed that Resident #3 had an order for the wound vac the day he was admitted to the facility, but he didn't bring it with him from the hospital, the facility was to supply the wound vac. She had already ordered one before Resident #3 was admitted , because she had to send a used one back to the new company they now use. The new company replaces it, which takes about 3 days for the wound vac to come.
