**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received showers on her
scheduled shower days and/or per the resident's request for 1 of 4 sampled residents reviewed for Choices,
Resident #38.
The findings included:
review review documented Resident #38 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
Malignant Neoplasm of the Esophagus, Encounter for attention to Gastrostomy, Dysphagia, Chronic
Fatigue, Muscle Weakness, and Abnormalities of Gait and Mobility.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 09/23/2, documented Resident #38's
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) was a 15 out of 15, indicating cognition was intact. Resident 38's
assessment for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) documented that Resident #38 required extensive
assistance for transfering between surfaces, for personal hygiene, and for dressing. Resident #38 also
required physical help in part of the bathing activity.
On 10/25/23 at 9:35 AM, Resident #38 stated that she had not had a shower since her admission on
[DATE]. She confirmed she occasionally was given bed baths, and she had gotten a really good bed bath
that morning, but she would really love to have a shower. Resident #38 said she had asked different nurses
about getting a shower; and Some nurses said I wasn't allowed to have a shower because of my PEG tube,
and other nurses said I was allowed to have a shower. The resident confirmed that none of the CNAs
(Certified Nursing Assistants) assigned to her had given her a shower.
On 10/25/23 at 9:43 AM, Staff A, Registered Nurse/RN, assigned to Resident #38, stated, There is no
reason why [Resident #38] cannot have a shower. I will talk to the Director of Nursing [DON] and the
resident, and I will get her a shower today.
On 10/25/23 at 9:55 AM, interview with the resident confirmed Resident #38 was to be scheduled for a
shower later that day. The resident stated that since she had already been given a good bed bath that
morning, she would discuss with the nurse and CNA to wait and have her shower the following day.
Review of the electronic CNA Task sheets for period 09/26/23 to 10/24/23 documented that Resident #38 is
scheduled for showers on Tuesdays and Fridays on the 3 PM-11 PM shift. The Task Sheet shows Resident
#38 has not had a shower at any time during this 29 day review period.

contained a blank form signed by Staff C (CNA) and the Nurse on duty, which was for 10/23/23 at 6:50 PM.
There was nothing noted on the form regarding a shower or bed bath, and no skin check information was
documented at this time.
A second form, dated 10/13/23 at 7:00 PM, was completed by Staff D (CNA). She documented that
Resident #38 had refused her shower because she had received a bed bath earlier that morning.
No other Shower / Body Check Forms were found in this binder for Resident #38.
On 10/26/23 at 11:30 AM, Resident #38 confirmed that she had received a shower that morning. It felt so
wonderful to get a shower and get scrubbed down. I feel like a new person.
On 10/26/23 at 12:05 PM, an interview was conducted with Staff B (one of 3 CNAs for the 200 unit). She
stated that she was not assigned to Resident #38 today, but she has cared for this resident in the past.
When asked what she would do if a resident requested a shower on one of her non-scheduled days and
times, she stated, I would try my best to accommodate the resident and give her a shower. There may be
times that I would not be able to do it because of my schedule and other tasks I would have to complete,
but I would try to fit it in.
On 10/26/23 at 1:55 PM, a call was placed to Staff C to inquire about Resident #38's showers, but the call
went to voice mail. A message was left requesting a call back as soon as possible, but Staff C did not return
the call before the time of exit from the survey.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure accuracy of the Minimum Data Set (MDS)
assessment related to medication use for 1 of 5 sampled residents, Resident #14.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the record revealed Resident #14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to
include anxiety. Review of the current MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #14 received
an anti-anxiety medication on 7 of 7 days during the look-back period of 08/26/23 through 09/01/23.
Review of the corresponding Medication Administration Records (MARs) revealed Resident #14 was
receiving diazepam (an anti-anxiety medication) once daily. Further review of the August 2023 MAR
revealed the medication was held on 08/30/23 and 08/31/23. Review of the corresponding progress notes
revealed the medication was held on those two days for lethargy.
During a side-by-side record review with the Director of Nursing (DON), and a phone interview on 10/26/23
at 2:07 PM, the MDS Coordinator agreed with the inaccurate MDS, and confirmed the anti-anxiety
medication should have been coded as a 5, instead of a 7, on that MDS assessment, indicating Resident
#14 received the medication five days during that look-back period.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure care plans were initiated to reflect diuretic usage for
1 of 5 sampled residents, Resident #10.
The findings included:
During the unnecessary Medication, Psychotropic Medications, and Medication Regimen Review process
for Resident #10, it was revealed Resident #10 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Hypertension (high blood pressure).
The quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment, reference date 07/02/23, recorded a Brief Interview for
mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating Resident #10 was cognitively intact. Further review of this
MDS, under section N for medication, subsection G for Diuretic, it was revealed that Resident #10 had
received diuretics 7 times on the 7 days look back period.
Additional record review evidenced a physician order dated 10/12/23 of Bumetanide (a diuretic) 1 MG give
1 tablet by mouth one time a day every other day for fluid retention.
Review of the October 2023 medication administration record (MAR) indicated Resident #10 had received
the Bumetanide on the following days in October 2023: 10/12, 10/14, 10/16, 10/18, 10/24 and 10/26/23.
Additional review of Resident 10's record revealed the comprehensive care plans, with review start date
09/09/2023 completed date 09/21/2023, and a care conference was held on 09/20/23. It was revealed that
Resident #10's record lacked any evidence of a care plan to reflect the diuretic usage.
On 10/26/23 at 1:04 PM, an interview was conducted with the nurse consultant, who reviewed Resident
#10's records. She agreed there was no evidence of a care plan generated to reflect the diuretic order.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure proper care
and services for 1 of 1 sampled resident, Resident #38, who received medications and nutrition via an
enteral tube (feeding tube), as evidenced by failure to check for placement of the PEG (percutaneous
endoscopic gastrostomy / surgical procedure for placement of a feeding tube), failure to administer
medication via gravity, and failure to utilize purified water, as per facility policy.
The findings included:
Review of the policy, titled, Administering Medications through an Enteral Tube, revised November 2018,
documented, in part, Steps in the Procedure: . 6. Verify placement of feeding tube. 9. Dilute medication: .
with purified water. 11. Reattach syringe (without plunger) to the end of the tubing. 12. Administer
medication by gravity flow.
A medication administration observation for Resident #38 was made on 10/24/23 beginning at 1:32 PM with
Staff E, Registered Nurse / RN. The RN obtained two medications, crushed each one, and put them into
separate small medication cups. Upon entering the resident's room, Staff E obtained tap water from the
bathroom sink, using it to dilute each medication. The RN then drew up about 20 ml of the tap water into
the piston syringe and stated, I want to flush it. Staff E then quickly pushed the tap water through the PEG
tube. Resident #38 jumped slightly and grimaced. The RN provided the two medications and flushes
between and after each medication in the same manner, but with less force. Staff E failed to check for
placement prior to administration of any fluids or medications, and failed to administer the fluids and
medication via gravity.
During an interview on 10/24/23 at 1:52 PM, when asked why she pushed the medications using the
syringe into the resident's PEG tube instead of via gravity, Staff E stated she has done it via gravity before,
and the resident usually coughed and the medications splashed up. When asked if she noted the resident
jumped with the initial flush, the nurse stated she did notice and so she pushed the rest of the medications
with less force.
Review of the record revealed Resident #38 obtained the PEG tube on 09/21/23. Review of the care plan
initiated on 09/22/23 documented the resident required the PEG tube and staff were to check for tube
placement per facility protocol. Further review of the record lacked any documented evidence, care plans,
or orders for the nursing staff to push the fluids or medications through the PEG, instead of via gravity. The
record also lacked any documented difficulty with the PEG tube for Resident #38.
During an interview on 10/25/23 at 9:57 AM with Resident #38, when asked if the nurses usually use the
syringe to push the medications through her PEG, or if they administer them via gravity, Resident #38
stated sometimes they have to push them through when they get stuck. The resident explained they also
have had to use the long stick to get it opened up. When asked about the fluid and medication
administration from the previous day when she jumped, Resident #38 stated it wasn't painful, but that she
was surprised that she felt something that time.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review, and policy review, failed to ensure proper care and services and
properly assess 2 of 2 sampled residents, Residents #20 and #107, during respiratory treatments via a
nebulizer (a device for administering a medication by spraying a fine mist), failed to document findings in
the record; and failed to change the nebulizer tubing weekly for 1 of 2 sampled resident, Resident #107, as
per facility policy.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the policy, titled, Administering Medications through a Small Volume (Handheld) Nebulizer,
revised October 2010, documented, in part, Steps in the Procedure . 17. Remain with the resident for the
treatment. 18. Approximately five minutes after treatment begins (or sooner if clinical judgment indicates)
obtain the resident's pulse. 19 Monitor for medication side effects, including rapid pulse, restlessness and
nervousness throughout the treatment. 20. Stop the treatment and notify the physician if the pulse
increases 20 percent above baseline or if the resident complains of nausea or vomits. 21. Tap the nebulizer
cup occasionally to ensure release of droplets from the sides of the cup. 26. Obtain post-treatment pulse,
respiratory rate and lung sounds. Documentation: The following information should be recorded in the
resident's medical record. 5. Pulse, respiratory rate and lung sounds before and after the treatment. 6.
Pulse during treatment. 8. The resident's tolerance of the treatment.
Review of the policy, titled, Departmental (Respiratory Therapy) - Prevention of Infection, not dated,
documented, in part, staff were to change the oxygen cannulae and tubing every seven (7) days, or as
needed.
1. A medication administration observation for Resident #20 was made on 10/24/23 beginning at 2:04 PM
with Staff E, Registered Nurse (RN). The RN obtained a vial of Acetylcysteine (an inhalant medication used
to destroy or dissolve mucus) from the medication cart, and drew up the ordered dose. Before starting the
nebulizer treatment, Staff E obtained the resident's heart rate, oxygen saturation level, and assessed his
lungs. The RN started the treatment, verbalized it lasts about 15 minutes, and stepped outside of the room
and into the hallway, leaving the door open. Staff E stated she usually waits right outside of the room until
the medication is completed, as the resident will keep talking and try to take the mask off if she stays in the
room. The RN stood outside of the door, occasionally looking into the room at the resident until the
treatment was over. The RN failed to reassess the resident's pulse at about five minutes into the treatment.
Review of the record revealed Resident #20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with orders for nebulizer
treatments. Further review of the record lacked documented evidence of the nurses assessment of oxygen
levels, heart rates, and lung sounds with each nebulizer treatment, as per facility policy. Review of the
current care plan for oxygen therapy initiated 10/25/23 documented the resident removes his oxygen at
times.
2. On 10/25/23 at 12:17 PM, upon entering the room of Resident #107, the resident was noted lying in bed
with a nebulizer treatment running. There was no staff present in or about the room. Staff F, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN), had been seen in the alcove, halfway down the hall, on the way to the resident's
room, which was located at the end of the hall. The surveyor stood outside the door until 12:35 PM, and no
staff entered or came near the room. While waiting outside of the room, Resident

#107 could be heard coughing numerous times. At 12:35 PM, the surveyor walked back through the hallway
and did not see the LPN. Upon return to the resident's room at 12:39 PM, Staff F was in the process of
disconnecting the tubing and mask from the nebulizer, and was telling the resident she was going to get
new tubing. An observation of the tubing revealed a label dated 10/17, eight days prior. Resident #107
voiced to the LPN that she was still coughing, and the LPN stated she would call the physician.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 10/25/23 at 12:45 PM, when asked the process for nebulizer administration, Staff F
explained she would confirm the medication, listen to lung sounds, start the treatment, and stay with the
resident for 15 minutes in case they aspirate or something. Staff F explained when the treatment was
completed she would listen to the lungs again and wash out the equipment. When asked if there was
anything else she would do, the LPN stated she would also check the resident's oxygen saturation level.
When asked if there was anything else, the LPN stated not that she was aware of. When asked how often
the nebulizer tubing and mask were changed, the LPN stated she was unsure, but would change it if it
looked nasty or at least every three days. When asked if she noted the date on the oxygen tubing when she
worked yesterday or before administration today, Staff F stated in report she was told the tubing had been
changed and so she didn't verify it. When asked why she did not stay with Resident #107 today during her
treatment, Staff F stated she was trying to verify an order with the physician for another resident, and
volunteered, I could have stayed with her. When asked if the other resident had an emergency that took her
away from Resident #107, the LPN stated it was not. When told their facility policy documented to reassess
the resident's heart rate at about five minutes into the treatment, the LPN stated she was unaware of that
and was unaware of the possible side effect of an increased heart rate.
During an interview on 10/25/23 at 4:03 PM, when asked if the staff stay with her during the nebulizer
treatments, Resident #107 stated they do not, and volunteered that she even took off the mask herself
today. When asked if staff check her oxygen and or heart rate before, during, or after the treatment,
Resident #107 stated they check her oxygen level and heart rate before the treatment, but never
afterwards. When asked if the staff assess and or listen to her lungs, Resident #107 stated, nobody has
ever listened to my lungs.
Review of the record revealed Resident #107 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The record lacked any
order or assessment for the self-administration of medications, and the baseline care plan completed on
10/16/23 documented No to the question regarding self-administration of medications. Review of the
current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #107 had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident was cognitively
intact. Review of the record lacked documented evidence of the nurses assessment of oxygen levels, heart
rates, and lung sounds with each nebulizer treatment, as per facility policy. Further review of the record
lacked any order or documentation for changing the nebulizer tubing on a weekly basis.
Review of the current care plan initiated 10/17/23 documented Resident #107 had COPD (Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) related to Asthma, and staff were to administer the aerosols or
bronchodilators as ordered. This care plan also instructed to monitor and document any side effects and
the effectiveness of the treatments.
During an interview on 10/26/23 at 10:25 AM, Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN), confirmed the oxygen and
nebulizer tubing and masks were to be changed once weekly on Sunday nights, or as needed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to timely assess and treat a newly voiced
complaint of pain for 1 of 1 sampled resident, Resident #14, who voiced pain on 08/17/23, after having not
taking any pain medications since 08/11/23, and staff did not thoroughly assess the location or underlying
cause of the new pain, and the resident was diagnosed with a fracture on 08/24/23.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the policy, titled, Pain Management, effective 10/25/22, documented, in part, Pain Management
Guidelines: . 2. Pain management is a multidisciplinary care process that includes the following: . b.
Effectively recognizing the presence of pain; c. Identifying the characteristics of pain; d. Addressing the
underlying causes of the pain; . 4. Conduct a comprehensive pain assessment upon admission to the
community, at the quarterly review, whenever there is a significant change in condition, and when there is
onset of new pain or worsening of existing pain. 5. Assess the resident's pain. Assessment: . Characteristics
of pain, such as: (intensity, pattern, location, frequency, and duration) . Monitoring and Modifying
Approaches: 1. Re-assess the resident's pain and consequences of pain at least each shift for acute pain or
significant changes in levels of chronic pain. 3. Monitor the following factors to determine if the resident's
pain is being adequately controlled: a. The resident's response to interventions and level of comfort over
time. b. The status of the underlying cause(s) of pain, if identified previously; . 6. If pain has not been
adequately controlled, the multidisciplinary team, including the physician, shall reconsider approaches and
adjust as indicated. Documentation: 1. Document the resident's reported level of pain with adequate detail
(i.e., enough information to gauge the status of pain and the effectiveness of interventions for pain) as
necessary and in accordance with the pain management program. Reporting: Report the following
information to the physician or practitioner: 1. Significant changes in the level of the resident's pain; .
Review of the record revealed Resident #14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to
include chronic pain syndrome. Review of the facility's incident log included a fracture for Resident #14 on
08/24/23.
Review of the physician orders and progress notes revealed Resident #14 started refusing her scheduled
oxycodone pain medications on 08/02/23 secondary to hallucinations, requesting it to be decreased from
three times daily to twice daily. On 08/08/23, the resident declined her scheduled dose related to lethargy.
On 08/10/23, Resident #14 declined both doses of oxycodone, and on 08/11/23, the resident refused her
morning dose of oxycodone. As per a progress note dated 08/11/23 at 1:37 PM, Resident #14 explained
that she did not like the way the oxycodone made her feel throughout the day, and agreed to a PRN (as
needed) dose only. Further review of the record revealed Resident #14 did not request any PRN oxycodone
from 08/11/23 until 08/17/23. Review of the pain level assessments conducted on each shift documented a
pain level of 0, 1, or 2, on a pain scale of 0 to 10, from 08/01/23 through 08/16/23.
Further review of the progress notes and corresponding August 2023 Medication Administration Record

of the new pain of 08/17/23, until 08/24/23.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 10/25/23 at 3:30 PM, Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN), was asked the process should
a resident ask for a PRN pain medication. The RN stated she would attempt non-pharmacological
interventions, and if ineffective she would assess the level and location of the pain, and provide the ordered
pain medication. When asked if Resident #14 can make her needs known and or describe the location and
intensity of her pain, Staff A confirmed the resident was alert and oriented, and if eye to eye contact is
made and time given, she will make her needs known and provide requested information. Staff A
volunteered the resident had a time prior to her fracture that she did not want pain medications as it made
her foggy. When asked about the fracture of Resident #14, Staff A stated she just recalled she was told of
the fracture and they all were in-serviced on logrolling. When asked if she noted the initiation of the PRN
pain medications after the routine had been discontinued, Staff A stated she just thought that her chronic
pain had returned after not having her routine pain medications.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 10/26/23 at 11:00 AM, the daughter of Resident #14 stated she did tell the nurses
several days that her mom was in pain. The daughter stated the staff kept telling her that they were giving
the pain medications, but that after several days the daughter told them she understood they were treating
the pain, but that they were not finding out the cause of the pain.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to follow through with an ordered laboratory test for 1 of 1
sampled resident, Resident #3.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Record review revealed Resident #3 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on
[DATE], with diagnoses that included: high blood pressure (Hypertension), Hyperlipidemia (high
cholesterol), Non-Alzheimer's Dementia, and malnutrition. The quarterly minimum data set (MDS)
assessment, reference date 09/13/23, recorded a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 08,
indicating Resident #3 was moderately cognitively impaired. This MDS recorded mood of Feeling down,
depressed, or hopeless. Trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much. Feeling tired or having little
energy. No behavior exhibited. This MDS indicated Resident #3 required extensive assistance with activity
of daily living (ADLs).
Subsequent review of the records evidenced a physician assessment dated [DATE] at 12:05 PM, it
indicated that Resident #3 had Dementia, COPD (Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease), CKD stage 3
(Chronic Kidney Disease), A fib (Atrial Fibrilation), Depression, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia and
decreased endurance. The Plan was: medications reviewed and ordered to get labs next week.
Additional record review revealed a Physician order for a laboratory (LAB) test, dated 10/03/23 for complete
blood count (CBC), and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) for high blood pressure. During additional
review of Resident #3's record, it was revealed that a comprehensive care plan with review start date
09/13/23, review completed date 09/25/23, and a care conference meeting held date 10/12/23. This
comprehensive care plan revealed Resident #3 had weight loss of 11 pounds with 6.8% weight loss in 1
week and 10 pounds 6% weight loss in 2 weeks which was likely related to fluid, diuretic use. Intervention
included: obtain and monitor lab / diagnostic work as ordered; Report results to MD and follow up as
indicated.
Further review of Resident #3's records and progress notes lacked evidence of the laboratory test result
and reason for omitting the lab. On 10/26/23 at 12:25 PM an interview was conducted with the Director Of
Nursing (DON). She was made aware there was no evidence of the ordered lab. She voiced she was going
to look for the result. At 12:56 PM, a subsequent interview was held with the DON, with the nurse
consultant present. The DON and nurse consultant voiced the lab was missed, it was not done. The nurse
consultant added the requisition was there for the blood to be drawn, however they were not aware why it
wasn't done. The nurse consultant stated they were going to call the physician today and reorder the lab.
