She stated they were planning on ordering a carrot splint because they do not have those kind of splints here, but they are trying the washcloth first to see if that will be beneficial. She stated they very rarely do splinting here because so few people benefit from splints, stating the contractures are not going to be reduced by a splint. She further stated they would use palm guards more often than splinting. Staff M was apprised that over the past 4 days, Resident #84 has not been observed with any kind of washcloth or splint device in his severely contracted right hand, to which she could not comment. An inquiry was made where the OT wrote the recommendation for the washcloth to the right hand to which she confirmed the recommendation had not been officially documented, just that nursing was verbally notified. An inquiry was made who would be responsible for ensuring the rolled washcloth was put in place to which she stated that should be done by nursing. Staff M further confirmed the OT who did the assessment on Resident #84 on 05/11/22 did not write an order for nursing for his recommendation for the resident's right hand contracture. She stated Resident #84 will be seen as soon as possible for follow up. Based on observation, interview, record review and review of policy and procedure, it was determined that the facility failed to provide treatment and care for application of a hand splint to address the resident's positioning needs for 3 of 9 residents observed for splints/range of motion (ROM), (Resident #36, Resident #21, and Resident #84). The findings included: Review of the facility policy and procedure on Restorative and Nursing Services documented in part, 'Restorative Nursing Policy: The facility will ensure that a resident's abilities in activities of daily living do not diminish unless circumstances of the individual's clinical condition demonstrate that diminution was unavoidable A resident who enters the facility without a limited range of motion does not experience reduction in range of motion unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrates that a reduction in range of motion is unavoidable. Procedure: Restorative Nursing Programs from the following categories may be implemented: 1. Range of Motion 4. Contracture-Splint/Brace/Seating/Positioning.' 1) During an initial observational screening tour conducted on 05/23/22 at 10:20 AM, Resident #36 was observed as having limited range of motion/weakness of her right-hand and no splint in place.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 05/26/22 at 9:24 AM, a request was made to Staff G Registered Dietitian, Staff H Certified Nursing Assistant, and Staff I Nurse Manager to weigh Resident #23. The resident was weighed with a Hoyer lift (a piece of machinery that is used to safely lift a resident out of bed without injuring them) with a gown, an adult brief, and the Hoyer sling. The Hoyer was zeroed before weighing the resident (which Staff G told was facility policy). The weight was 128.4 pounds. After Resident #23 was safely lowered back into the bed, Staff H and Staff I asked if she should be weighed a second time. Staff G said yes, they should do a double weight (she said it was facility policy that each resident is weighed twice and that they document the second weight). Staff H and Staff I re-zeroed the Hoyer lift and reweighed Resident #23. The second weight was 127.5 pounds. Staff G verbalized she would document the first weight in Resident #23's chart. The second weight of 127.5 pounds shows an additional weight loss of 3.1 pounds in 22 days; this brings Resident #23's weight loss to 27.23% since her admission to the facility on [DATE]. A review of the Initial Nutritional Risk Assessment written on 12/24/21 showed Resident #23 had an initial weight documented of 175 pounds. Staff G indicated in the note that Resident #23 was asked what her usual weight is, and she replied 164 pounds. The resident was not reweighed to confirm if the documented weight of 175 pounds was accurate. Staff G recorded that Resident #23 would be ordered a Regular diet, thin liquids; Staff G added that the No Added Salt, Low Fat, Low Cholesterol diet would be in place because of Resident #23's history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Staff G wrote that the nursing staff had indicated that Resident #23's appetite was poor, so she wrote for Eldertonic Elixir as an appetite stimulant and (name of supplement) three times per day to promote oral intake. Staff G also said the resident had no reports of chewing or swallowing difficulties at this evaluation. On 02/23/22, a Significant Change Nutritional Risk Assessment was documented by Staff G. She stated in this assessment that Resident #23's weight was 143.3 pounds, indicating a significant weight loss of 20.7 pounds (or 12.6%) since admission. Staff G documented this weight loss may have been partly due to improving edema status as Resident #23 was admitted with edema in January. Staff G reported in this note that Resident #23 receives assistance from the staff to consume her meals and nutritional supplements. Staff G also wrote that a CNA reported that Resident #23 occasionally chews and spits out food that may be too tough to chew. Staff G wrote Resident #23 received Eldertonic Elixir and Marinol for appetite stimulants. Staff G did not write for any changes in diet, supplements, or appetite stimulants despite noting the significant weight loss in this note. There were no other follow-up notes or assessments that were documented from the Dietary department during March and April. However, the resident's weight continued to drop. On 05/23/22, a Quarterly Nutritional Risk Assessment was documented by Staff G. She stated in this assessment that Resident #23's weight was 130.6 pounds, indicating an additional significant weight loss of 12.7 pounds (or 8.9%) in 90 days. Staff G referred to her last note regarding the CNA's report of Resident #23 having difficulty chewing and swallowing some foods. She stated in this note that her recommendation is to downgrade Resident #23's diet at this time. Staff G wrote, Recommend to encourage PO (oral) intake to help improve. Nursing to continue to encourage additional 240 ml fluids per shift to promote hydration. She also indicated that Resident #23 continued to receive the Marinol but not the Eldertonic Elixir for appetite stimulation. Staff G offered no further recommendations regarding Resident #23's additional significant weight loss in this note. Resident #23 received a Speech Therapy (ST) Consultation on 12/24/21. The note stated Resident #23 had no changes in swallow noted or reported by the staff.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few maintained her baseline level of cognition and could convey her wants and needs adequately to the team. The note ended with No further ST at this time. There were no further Speech Therapy evaluations done despite the CNA reporting Resident #23 having difficulties swallowing certain foods and the noted significant weight loss in the two Nutrition Notes. An interview was conducted with Staff G on 05/26/22 at 1:43 PM. She said the facility used to have three full-time dietitians and a part-time dietary manager, but she was the only full-time Dietitian at this time. When asked about the facility's policy on weights, she stated that each resident is supposed to be weighed on admission, then weekly for at least four weeks, and then once the resident is stable, they are changed to monthly weights. When asked how often she does assessments on the residents, she stated she does an initial evaluation when a resident is admitted and then quarterly assessments unless a resident has a significant change that requires an additional evaluation, such as significant weight loss. She clarified that significant weight loss is calculated as a 3% weight loss in 1 week, 5% weight loss in 1 month, or 7.5% weight loss in 90 days. She stated that if a significant weight loss happens, she looks at the resident's meal intake record and physician's orders to see if supplements or appetite stimulants are ordered. She further stated that she would ask the resident if they had complaints about the food or different meal preferences, and then she would make her recommendations based on that assessment. She said she could recommend appetite stimulants, supplements, fortified foods, or the downgrade of a diet if it is noted that a resident is having trouble swallowing. Staff G further reported that she encourages residents to have their families bring in food to ensure they receive meals they prefer whenever possible. When asked how she knows what the resident's weights are, she stated she provides the CNAs with an Excel spreadsheet of each resident where they document the weights, and then she inputs the weights into the system. When asked if the CNAs specify what scale they use for each resident's weight, she said they sometimes make a notation on the spreadsheet but not always. According to Staff G, some CNAs are better than others at getting the resident's weights and that if she questions a weight based on it being drastically different than the last weight, she asks the CNA to reweigh the resident, and then she documents the new weight. When asked specifically about Resident #23's weight loss, she said she remembers the resident was admitted with edema, so it was not a surprise when there was a weight loss at first. When asked about what was done regarding the continued weight loss, she stated Resident #23 already had physicians' orders for appetite stimulants and Ensure supplements. She also said the documentation showed Resident #23 was consuming 100% of the Ensure and varied meal intake. When asked what other recommendations she made, she stated she hoped that Resident #23 would have a better meal intake with the diet being changed to mechanical soft. A review of Resident #23's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Treatment Administration Records (TAR) for the months of January 2022 through May 2022 was conducted. These records show how much supplements Resident #23 consumed during these months. When tallying the total percentage of supplements consumed from January to May, it showed that Resident #23 had 100% of 160 supplements, 75% of 99 supplements, 50% of 132 supplements, 25% of 49 supplements, and 0% of 18 supplements. This indicates Resident #23 consumed 68% of her supplements throughout her stay at the facility. It is also documented on the MARs and TARs that Resident #23 did consistently receive her Eldertonic Elixir three times per day until the order was discontinued on 03/29/22 and the Marinol two times per day. However, despite these 2 appetite stimulants, Resident #23 consistently lost weight. An abbreviated review of Resident #23's CNA Charting of Meal Intake was conducted from 03/09/22 to 03/31/22. For these dates, there were 69 meals documented. The calculated meal consumption percentage was 35.8%.
