This survey cited 12 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident dignity during incontinence care for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for dignity of a total sample of 56 residents, (#107). Findings Review of resident #107's medical record documented he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of stroke and Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] showed he was cognitively intact, required extensive assistance with all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), had impairment on one side of upper and lower extremity and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Review of the resident's plan of care revealed the resident was unable to perform self care, required total assistance with ADLs with intervention to provide privacy. On 03/13/22 at 2:27 PM, resident #107 stated he was incontinent and wore a brief. He said the staff had to provide incontinence care and help him to wash up. He explained the staff closed the room door when they provided care but there was no privacy curtain to pull around the bed. Observations on 03/15/22 at 9:39 AM and at 1:39 PM revealed the resident still did not have a privacy curtain around his bed. 03/15/22 at 10:44 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) F said she had cared for resident #107 on 03/14/22. She recalled she had closed the room door and was only able to pull the privacy curtain around the resident's roommate's bed as resident #107 did not have a privacy curtain. She noted that if anyone had walked into the room during incontinent care, it would have been embarrassing for resident #107 as he would have been exposed. Of course there should have been a privacy curtain to ensure the resident did not get exposed. On 03/16/22 at 10:26 AM, resident #107 indicated staff closed his room door when they provided care but staff had come into his room while incontinence care was being provided. This was embarrassing to have my private areas exposed to the person coming into the room. On 03/15/22 at 10:38 AM, the C Wing Unit Manager acknowledged the resident's privacy curtain was missing. If the resident was provided care without a privacy curtain he would have been exposed. The CNA should have notified me of the missing curtain.

Residents Affected - Few Findings: Resident #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including gastrostomy tube, tracheostomy, stroke, seizures, brain damage due to lack of oxygen, respiratory failure, dependence on supplemental oxygen. A tracheostomy is a hole that is created surgically through the front of the neck and into the windpipe. A tube is inserted into the hole to keep it open for breathing and to maintain a permanent or temporary airway as indicated. A gastrostomy tube is inserted directly into the stomach through a surgically created opening in the abdominal wall. It is used to provide nutrition and hydration for patients who cannot swallow normally (retrieved on 3/25/22 from www.mayoclinic.org). Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Annual assessment with assessment reference date (ARD) of 8/01/21 revealed resident #1 enjoyed activities that included listening to music. The assessment showed participating in her favorite activities was somewhat important to her, and religious practices were not very important. The Quarterly MDS assessment with ARD of 1/26/22 revealed resident #8 had short and long term memory problems, severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making and limitation in range of motion of all extremities. On 3/13/22 at 1:39 PM, resident #8 was in bed. Her eyes were partially open, she was non-verbal and did not show a response to her name being called. The privacy curtain in the middle of the room was drawn to separate the resident's bed from her roommate and the hallway outside the room. The blinds at the window beside the resident were closed, and the room was silent. There was no radio or television in the resident's room to provide sensory simulation. On 3/13/22 at 2:59 PM, in a telephone interview with resident #8's mother, she stated her daughter was bedbound and could not communicate verbally. She explained she bought a 32-inch television as her daughter was always in bed and did not participate in activities outside her room.

Residents Affected - Few Findings: Resident #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including tracheostomy, dependence on supplemental oxygen, convulsions, stroke, brain damage due to lack of oxygen, shortness of breath, and respiratory failure. A tracheostomy is a hole that is created surgically through the front of the neck and into the windpipe. A tube is inserted into the hole to keep it open for breathing and to maintain a permanent or temporary airway as indicated (retrieved on 3/25/22 from www.mayoclinic.org). Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment with assessment reference date of 1/26/22 revealed resident #8 had short and long term memory problems and severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The assessment indicated she received oxygen therapy, tracheostomy care, and respiratory therapy during the lookback period. Review of Physician Orders for March 2022 revealed resident #8 had a physician's order dated 12/27/21 for continuous oxygen at 6 liters per minute (L/min) via tracheotomy collar. The resident had a care plan for altered respiratory function related to tracheostomy with oxygen, initiated on 10/27/20. The interventions included administration of oxygen as ordered. On 3/14/22 at 9:30 AM, resident #8's oxygen tubing and the mask that provided her with oxygen through the tracheotomy tube were connected to the oxygen concentrator machine at her bedside. The concentrator's flow meter was set at 10 L/min. On 3/14/22 at 9:31 AM, the B Wing Unit Manger (UM) validated the resident's oxygen concentrator was set to administer oxygen at 10 L/min. She was unsure of the physician's orders and stated she would review the medical record to obtain the information. On 3/14/22 at 9:36 AM, the B Wing UM returned to resident #8's room and explained the physician's order was to administer oxygen at a flow rate of 6 L/min. She said, It is way high at 10 liters. She explained the resident's assigned nurses were responsible for ensuring oxygen settings were accurate. The B Wing UM stated nurses should verify each resident's oxygen flow rate at the start of the shift. On 3/16/22 at 3:00 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) L stated she was assigned to resident #8 on Monday, 3/14/22 during the day shift. She was informed the flow meter on the oxygen concentrator was discovered at 10 L/min at 9:30 AM, almost three hours after the start of the day shift.

The RT explained she saw residents either every two weeks or once monthly. She stated the facility's nursing staff were responsible for daily monitoring of these residents, and could contact her by telephone if they had questions or concerns. The RT stated she checked oxygen concentrators during her visits but never changed oxygen flow rates since they were prescribed by a physician based on clinical status. She recalled the last time she assessed resident #8, her oxygen flow rate order was 6 L/min. The RT recalled occasions in the past when she found resident #8's oxygen flow rate set at a higher level than ordered and she had to lower it. She said, I have actually said to the nurses that they should keep it at the ordered level. The RT stated nurses should ensure oxygen was administered at the correct rate and call the physician for an order rather than adjust it themselves if resident #8 required additional supplemental oxygen. Review of the policy and procedure for Oxygen Administration effective 12/08/05 revealed oxygen should be administered under orders of the attending physician. The procedure directed nurses to obtain an order for oxygen flow rate and route of administration, and to check the flowmeter to verify the correct liter flow. The Facility Assessment Annual Review 2021-2022 indicated the facility had all necessary equipment and competent staff to provide necessary care and services for residents who had tracheostomies.

LPN D said she was assigned to resident #637's care on 3/10, 3/11, 3/14 and today and could not recall if she had documented his pain level. LPN D and the UM reviewed the MAR and reported the nurses from 3/10 to present had not assessed the resident's pain level as per physician orders. LPN D explained she had not documented the pain scale as it did not appear on the electronic MAR so she only checked the box but did not note the pain scale. The UM indicated the nurse who entered the original order did not enter it properly. She said the nurse would have had to click special requirements to add pain scale of 0-10. LPN D acknowledged she gave prn Norco for pain to the resident yesterday and could not recall what his pain level was pre/post administration. The LPN and UM conveyed it was important to document pain level to assess if the resident received adequate pain management. On 3/15/22 at 4:36 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) C verified she was assigned to resident # 637 on 3/12/22 the 7-3 and 3-11 shifts.
