This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, staff and resident interviews, medical record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure that one (Resident #47) of 35 sampled residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' choices, specifically, failure to apply physician-ordered, medicated cream/ointment to an ongoing rash. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 12/19/22 at 11:50 a.m., Resident #47 was observed lying in bed, awake. She was scratching at her upper chest and both upper extremities. Her upper chest and both upper extremities were observed with a patchy, red rash. The rash was comprised of small red circles, some raised slightly and some flat. Some areas were observed open with scratch marks and some were intact. The resident stated the rash was related to nerves from her last roommate. She stated, It gets itchy and I think I'm supposed to have some kind of antibiotic cream but no one has put it on. On 12/20/22 at 9:15 a.m., Resident #47 was observed lying in bed, awake. She was scratching at her upper chest and both upper extremities. Her upper chest and both upper extremities were observed with a patchy red rash. The upper chest rash area was observed with pin point spots of blood. The resident stated, I scratched at it. I couldn't help it. It's so itchy. I wish they'd give me something for it. She was asked if she had let staff know that the rash is itchy. She stated, Yes, I let them know but I guess they don't have anything for me. On 12/21/22 at 8:20 a.m., Resident #47 was observed lying in bed, awake. She was scratching at the rash on her upper chest. Both upper extremities remained red with the rash as well. She was asked if she had let staff know her rash had been bothering her since at least yesterday. She stated, Yes, but no one does anything. She was asked if any staff member had applied ointment or cream to her rash or provided any care for the rash. She stated no. On 12/21/22 at 2:53 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) A was asked if she was aware of the rash that Resident #47 had on her upper arms and chest. She replied, Yes, I know she has a rash. She's had that since I first came here in November (2022). It's chronic. I don't recall what it is but she gets a cream for it. RN A then asked Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) D, the nurse caring for Resident #47, if she knew about the rash. LPN D stated, Yeah, she gets hydrocortisone cream for that. LPN D was asked how often the cream was applied. She stated, it's just prn (as needed). She was asked if the resident had received any cream today. She replied, No, she didn't ask for it. She just asked for a pain pill and I gave her that. On 12/21/22 at 3:00 p.m., in an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B, she was asked (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.

On 12/22/22 at 8:50 a.m., Resident #47 was observed lying in bed, awake, and scratching her upper chest. Her upper chest and both forearms were observed with a red rash. The rash was comprised of small, red, raised and open spots covering the top of each forearm and her upper chest. She was asked if she told staff her rash was itchy since yesterday. She stated, Yes I told them and they don't do anything. It's itching like crazy. She was asked if any staff applied lotion to her rash since yesterday. She stated, No, no one has at all.

She stated, No, I haven't heard that. I haven't been in to see her yet today. She was asked to open the treatment cart and see if there was any hydrocortisone cream for Resident #47. She opened the cart and this cream was not in the cart for the resident. The nurse stated, She must have run out. I'll reorder it from the pharmacy. We have two treatment carts on the unit, it could be in that (the other) cart. On 12/22/22 at 9:07 a.m., RN E was asked if she had a treatment cart on her wing. She stated yes. She was asked how many treatment carts the facility had. She stated two. She was asked if she could open the treatment cart on her wing to check if there was Hydrocortisone cream for Resident #47 in the cart. She opened the cart and the cream was not found in the cart. She stated, I know she had it. I'm the one who ordered it for her to begin with for the rash on her arms, but I haven't cared for her in maybe over a month now, so I haven't seen her in that time. RN E was asked where she would sign out the treatment when it was administered. She stated, On the treatment sheet. That's where it's signed out when it's used because it's an as needed order. She was asked if signing the treatment out was an expectation when the treatment was provided. She stated yes. On 12/22/22 at 10:59 a.m., in an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), she was asked what the expectation was when a treatment was provided to a resident. She stated, It should be signed out on the treatment sheet. She was asked if a treatment was not signed out, where would it be documented if it was provided. She stated, In a progress note, but it should also be initialed on the treatment sheet if it was done. In a medical record review for Resident #47, it was revealed that the resident had an MDS (Minimum Data Set) quarterly assessment completed on 11/23/22. The assessment revealed a BIMS (brief interview for mental status) score of 13 out of 15 possible points, indicating that that resident was cognitively intact.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, medical record review, staff interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate of 5% or less. There were four errors and 33 opportunities for error, resulting in an error rate of 12.12% and involving two errors for Resident #50, one error for Resident #69, and one error for Resident #28. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 12/21/22 at 4:20 p.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) F was observed preparing medications for Resident #50. One of the tablets (Bumex 2 mg (milligrams) was observed to fall onto the medication cart when popped out of the blister pack. LPN F was observed picking up the tablet with an ungloved hand and placing it in the medication cup with another tablet (Coreg 25 mg). LPN F was observed picking up the medication cup and then proceeded to walk toward the resident's room. He was stopped and asked if he was going to give the medication he had dropped and picked up with his ungloved hand to the resident. He stated, Yes, the cart is clean. If I dropped the pill on the floor, I would throw it away and get a new one. He was advised at that time that the medication cart and his ungloved hands were not considered clean. He then proceeded to pop two new pills for the resident from the blister pack. LPN F was then observed leaving the pills he wasn't going to administer to the resident on top of the cart in a medication cup. He walked into the resident's room. The medication cart was out of his sight for six minutes while he administered the medications. Upon returning to his medication cart, he saw the pills he had left out and threw them in the trash. He was asked if he should leave medications out on top of the medication cart and out of his sight. He stated, No, that's why I just threw them away when I saw I left them there. On 12/21/22 at 4:30 p.m., LPN F was observed preparing medications for Resident #28. LPN F entered the resident's room and handed him the medication cup with the pills in it. LPN F was asked if he had checked the resident's blood pressure for the ordered parameters before administering the medication. He stated, Hold on and left the room. He left the resident holding the medication cup, with three pills in the cup, unattended. He returned 90 seconds later and stated, His blood pressure is 119/69, and he instructed the resident to take the pills in the cup. On 12/21/22 at 4:50 p.m., LPN G was observed preparing medications for Resident #69 to be administered via gastric tube (feeding tube). These medications included Vitamin C 500 mg, give one tablet via gastric tube, and Ferrous Sulfate liquid 325mg/5ml (milligrams per milliliter), give 5 ml via gastric tube. LPN G was observed bringing separated medications in two medication cups into the resident's room and setting them on the bedside table. She then stated, Oh, I need my stethoscope, and left the room. She was observed leaving the two medications (Vitamin C and ferrous sulfate) unattended and out of her sight on the resident's bedside table. She was asked if she usually left medications unattended when she left a resident's room. She replied, Well, the med cart has to be plugged in and it won't reach to this room. She was asked about leaving the Vitamin C and Ferrous Sulfate on the resident's bedside table unattended while she went to go get her stethoscope. She stated, Oh, well generally I wouldn't do that. I guess I should have taken them with with me when I went to get my stethoscope.
