F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a care plan for one resident (#78) of three residents sampled for Transmission Based Precautions. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident #78 revealed an admission date of 10/29/2021, with diagnoses that included cystitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL), as per the face sheet. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for March 2022 showed a physician order for Imipenem-Cilastatin Solution (an antibiotic) 250 milligrams (mg); use 250mg intravenously every 6 hours for ESBL until 03/25/2022, started on 03/16/2022. On 03/21/2022 at 11:07 a.m., Resident #78 was observed seated in a chair beside the bed, groomed and dressed. The resident's room had a sign outside the door stating, Special Droplet/Contact Precautions, and a caddy was present with personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. In an interview with the resident following the observation, he confirmed he was on isolation for an infection in his urine, and said he gets antibiotics for the infection through his vein. The resident did not recall when the antibiotics or the isolation started. A review of the resident's care plan on 03/21/2022 revealed: -Focus: the resident is on IV [intravenous] medications r/t [related to] ESBL in urine until 03/25/2022, initiated 03/17/2022. The care plan did not include a focus, goals, or interventions related to Transmission Based Precautions. Review of a care plan provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) on 03/23/2022 at 12:32 p.m. revealed: -Focus: the resident has a urinary tract infection/ESBL, initiated 03/23/2022. On 03/23/2022 at 1:32 p.m., an interview was conducted with the DON. She reviewed the care plan and said it was her expectation interventions for Transmission Based Precautions would be added to the care plan at the time they were initiated, and when the ESBL was identified. The DON said she was unaware the focus, goals and interventions for Transmission Based Precautions were added as of 03/23/2022. A review of a facility-provided policy titled Care Plan - Interdisciplinary Plan of Care from Interim to Meeting, dated March 2017 showed: (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A review of Resident #140's medical record revealed Resident #140 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of flaccid hemiplegia and peripheral vascular disease. A review of Resident #140's care plan revealed a problem, revised on 10/28/2021, that Resident #140 had potential/actual impairment to skin integrity. Interventions included to monitor/document location, size, and treatment of skin; and report abnormalities, failure to heal, signs and symptoms of infection, and maceration to the resident's physician. An interview was conducted on 03/22/2022 at 10:29 a.m. with Resident #140 in the resident's room. During the interview, Resident #140's top left foot was observed to have two white bandages over it with no date. Resident #140 stated the nurse that worked on 03/20/2022 put the bandages on his left foot because he had scratched the area with his right foot to the point that the skin was opened. During the interview, Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) entered the room to administer Resident #140's medications. Staff F, LPN was not able to state any information related to Resident #140's foot wound and stated she would need to check Resident #140's chart for additional information.

Staff E, LPN stated she noticed Resident #140 had a bandage on his left foot on 03/22/2022 and removed the bandage to observe the area. The wound to Resident #140's left foot was no longer open, so a new bandage was not applied. Staff E, LPN reviewed Resident #140's medical record and observed there was no physician order for care of the wound to Resident #140's left foot and no assessment of the wound was documented in the medical record. Staff E, LPN stated the wound to Resident #140's left foot should have been assessed and documented in the medical record. Staff E, LPN also stated a treatment for the wound should have been ordered for Resident #140's wound and the bandage to Resident #140's left foot should have been dated.

The DON stated if a dressing is observed on a resident and it is not dated, the nurse should remove the dressing, observe the wound, and review the resident's record to ensure that wound care orders were in place. A review of the facility policy titled Weekly and PRN (as needed) Skin Check, effective in October 2021, revealed under the section titled Policy that the Weekly and PRN Skin Check is used to document skin condition throughout the Resident stay in the facility. The nurse will conduct weekly skin check and/or a PRN skin check when applicable as a proactive measure to identify impairment or suspected impairment timely to reduce the risk of further decline in skin integrity. The policy also revealed under the section titled Procedure once a week and when an area of skin impairment is reported the skin check should be documented on the Weekly & PRN Skin Check documentation tool. If a new area is identified the appropriate skin grid should be initiated within 8-hours.
