F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 1/10/24 at 3:27 p.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said the rash should have been assessed and documented in the weekly skin checks. The DON said the risks for not addressing the rash for several weeks included that the resident would be more uncomfortable and that they could not say if the rash was infectious or not. 2. Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Catheter Insertion and Care revised 1/17/2019 showed Midline catheter (catheter inserted into a vein) dressings will be changed at specified intervals, or when needed, to prevent catheter-related infections associated with contaminated, loosened, or soiled catheter-site dressings. The policy noted to label the dressing with initials, date and time. On 1/9/24 at 11:56 a.m., Resident #453 was observed with a midline intravenous catheter inserted to the right upper arm. The midline dressing was lifting around the edges. The dressing was not dated. Resident #453 said the dressing keeps getting unglued. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #453's most recent admission to the facility was 1/2/24. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] noted Resident #453 scored 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status, indicating intact cognition. The physician's orders dated 1/2/24 included administering Daptomycin (antibiotic) 750 milligrams intravenously every 48 hours for staphylococcus aureus infection and changing the midline dressing every seven days and as needed if soiled. Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) revealed the midline dressing change was scheduled for 1/9/24. Licensed Practical Nurse Staff F placed her initials on the TAR on 1/9/24 indicating the dressing change was done as ordered. On 1/10/24 at 12:30 p.m., Resident #453's undated midline catheter dressing remained unchanged and lifted on three sides. The resident's sleeve was caught underneath the dressing. Resident #453 said she was receiving antibiotics through the midline for a blood infection, and no one had changed the dressing since the midline was inserted. She said she told a few nurses, including the nurse who infused her antibiotic the night before the dressing was coming off and needed to be changed. The nurse did not change it. Photographic evidence obtained. On 1/10/24 at 2:20 p.m., in a joint observation, the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the resident's midline dressing was coming off and was not dated. Resident #453 told the DON the dressing has not been changed since the midline was inserted. On 1/10/24 at 4:20 p.m., the DON said Resident #453's midline dressing was from the hospital prior to the resident's readmission date of 1/2/24. She also verified LPN Staff F documented on the TAR she changed the dressing on 1/9/24. On 1/11/24 at 8:24 a.m., in an interview LPN staff F confirmed she did not change Resident #453's midline dressing on 1/9/24 but documented in the TAR she had changed the dressing.

The findings included: Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 12/8/23 noted the resident's cognition was intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. Diagnoses included Parkinson's Disease (disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement), Cerebrovascular Accident, Transient Ischemic attack, or Stroke. Resident #26 had functional limitation of both lower extremities and required substantial assistance to roll left and right. The care plan initiated on 11/21/23 noted the resident was at risk for falls related to debility, and bilateral fixed knee contractures (joint deformity and loss of movement around the joint). On 12/15/23 the care plan noted Resident #26 had an actual fall with a goal to minimize the risk of further incident through the next review date. The interventions included to continue with bilateral grab bars to the bed to assist with bed mobility and provide substantial assistance of two staff members for bed mobility and incontinence care. On 1/8/24 at 11:18 a.m., Resident #26 was observed in bed, awake, oriented to person and place, able to converse and answer questions appropriately. Resident #26 said she recently fell out of bed when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff AA rolled her away from her while providing incontinent care. Review of the fall investigation dated 12/15/23 at 3:30 a.m., revealed Licensed Practical Nurse W documented Resident #26 was found in a sitting position at her bedside. The CNA said the resident fell due to continuing to roll over on her side when changing linens and incontinence care .The resident was not able to explain what happened . The fall investigation included a witness statement from CNA Staff AA which noted Resident #26 fell due to continuing to roll over on side. The CNA documented she advised the resident not to turn too much so she would not fall but the resident continued to turn and resulted in the fall. The investigation noted the root cause of the incident was the resident rolled too far over while the CNA repositioned her for incontinence care. The investigation did not address CNA Staff AA rolling the dependent resident away from her while providing care. On 1/11/24 at 10:44 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said she personally reviewed the incident, looked at the interventions, observed the room and spoke with the resident.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few at fault. She said Resident #26 had grab bars at the head of the bed and was able to use them to roll in bed therefore there was no need to re-educate the CNA. The DON said the CNAs should roll more dependent residents toward them while providing care to prevent falls. The DON said the Occupational Therapist provided in-service to the CNAs twice a year on positioning, moving, and transferring residents. On 1/11/24 at 10:57 a.m., Resident #26 was observed in bed with grab bars elevated at the head of the bed bilaterally. Resident #26 had a splint to the left hand and wrist. The middle finger of the right hand was curled toward her palm. Resident #26 said she had a Trigger finger (finger stuck in a bent position). Resident #26 was not able to grab the bars and reposition herself in bed. The DON was present at the time of the observation. Resident #26 said she was still upset about the fall. She said CNA Staff AA was rolling her away from her in the bed. She repeatedly told the CNA to stop as she was falling but she did not listen and kept rolling her until she fell. On 1/11/24 at 11:42 a.m., Physical Therapist Staff U said Resident #26 would not be able to reposition herself in bed is she was falling. Review of the CNA skills fair dated 5/24/23 noted the Director of Therapy reviewed the proper techniques for assisting residents to perform transfers and bed mobility safely. The technique for dependent roll included, Pre-roll positioning. The person assisting positions him/herself on the side of the bed toward which the resident is to roll . Gently roll the resident toward you onto his/her side . There was no documentation CNA Staff AA attended the training. On 1/11/24 at 1:51 p.m., the DON verified CNA Staff AA did not use proper technique by rolling Resident #26 away from her while providing care. She also verified CNA staff AA did not attend the CNAs skills fair on 5/24/23 or in November 2023.

Residents Affected - Some On 1/11/24 at 1:03 p.m., the DON stated that the policy for ADLs should be followed. Residents who are incontinent should be checked and changed every couple of hours and as needed. Based on observation, record review, review of policies and procedures, staff and residents interview, the facility failed to provide services to restore bladder function and prevent urinary tract infections to the extent possible for 3 (Residents #92, #254, and #11) of 3 residents reviewed for bladder function. The findings included: 1. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #92 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 12/12/23 noted the resident's cognition was intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13. Resident #92 had an indwelling catheter (catheter inserted in the bladder to drain urine). The care plan initiated on 12/5/23 noted the resident had an indwelling catheter related to urinary retention. The Certified Nursing Assistant Kardex (provides instructions for care) noted the resident was not toileted. Staff was to empty the catheter drainage bag and perform catheter care per policy. Review of the physician's orders revealed the orders related to the resident's urinary catheter were discontinued on 12/19/23. The care plan and the Kardex were not updated when the catheter was removed. On 1/8/24 at 10:30 a.m., in an interview Resident #92 said she had a urinary catheter which was removed in December. She said she has been wearing incontinent briefs since her admission and staff did not always answer the call light to assist her to the bathroom. Resident #92 said she was aware of the need to urinate, but it often took three hours for staff to answer the call light and she was not able to hold her urine for that long.
