F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4. During an observation on 03/13/22 at 11:22 AM, Resident #100 was noted to have a possible contracture (a tightening and shortening of a muscle) to her right hand. A hand splint was noted on the resident's over-bed table. Residents Affected - Few Review of the current Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 02/22/22, documented Resident #100 received both passive range of motion (PROM) services and the application of a splint three days during the MDS seven-day look-back period of 02/16/22 through 02/22/22. During an interview on 03/14/22 at 11:01 AM, the Restorative Nurse was asked about Resident #100 related to her right hand contracture. The Restorative Nurse explained Resident #100 has had the right hand contracture for years, has a splint but refuses to wear it, and now is unable to do so, but will hold a towel in that hand at times. The Restorative Nurse stated she believed Resident #100 was receiving PROM. The Restorative Nurse was asked to provide documented evidence of the services. The Restorative Nurse reviewed the record under the Point of Care section in the electronic medical record, the section for documentation of services, and stated Resident #100 had not been receiving the PROM services. Review of the Point of Care History for Restorative Services from 02/16/22 through 02/22/22 documented each day either not performed / refused or unanswered. During an interview on 03/16/22 at 10:14 AM, the MDS Lead was asked about the MDS coding of 3 for both the PROM and splint assistance for the Quarterly MDS dated [DATE]. The MDS Lead provided a progress note from the Restorative Nurse that documented, 02/22/22 Restorative Nursing / Quarterly Review . Resident continues on Restorative Nursing Program daily for PROM and splinting / hand roll as tolerated secondary to contractures . The MDS Lead stated she saw that Quarterly Review progress note and coded her as receiving the services. When asked why she coded it a 3 when the note documented daily, the MDS Lead stated because the restorative services are normally three times weekly. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure comprehensive assessments were accurate for 4 of 29 sampled residents (Resident #32, #37, #100 and #246), as evidenced by failure to capture all accurate diagnoses for Resident #32, failure to accurately document skin conditions for Resident #37, failure to accurately document specialized services for Resident #100 and failure to accurately document the use of physical restraints for Resident #246. The findings included: 1. Clinical record review conducted on 03/14/22 revealed Resident #32 has a Minimum Data Set (MDS), quarterly assessment with reference date of 01/01/22. The diagnosis section did not indicate the resident had an infection during the seven days look back period. Physician's order, dated 12/29/21, documented, Azithromycin tablet; 250 mg daily. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) validated the resident received the prescribed antibiotic from 12/29/21 thru 01/01/22. Review of the Progress Notes dated 12/29/21 documented 'patient on ABT (antibiotic) for right ear infection'.

The findings included: During observations on 03/13/22 at 10:36 AM and 03/15/22 at 9:17 AM, Resident #74 was noted in bed with both legs bent up at the knees. Review of the record revealed Resident #74 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Further review of the record revealed two orders related to restorative services as follows: 02/11/22, Active Range of Motion (AROM) exercises with two-pound weights to upper and lower extremities three times weekly, as tolerated, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. 02/11/22, Sit-to-stand transfers (times 10) with rolling walker and/or handrails in hallway with maximum assistance on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Review of the current care plan, dated 02/11/22, documented Resident #74 had the potential for alteration in range of movement, related to decreased mobility and weakness. The care plan Approaches included to encourage the resident to partake as actively as possible in the exercise programs, and to encourage the resident to perform active ROM. Review of the Point of Care History for restorative services from 02/12/22 through 03/15/22 revealed two areas for documentation as follows: Related to the number of minutes for active range of motion (AROM), on 02/24/22, 03/03/22, and 03/10/22 the documentation was unanswered, indicating Resident #74 did not receive the services 3 of 14 scheduled restorative service days. Related to the number of minutes transferring, the only documented completion of the task was on 02/15/22, indicating the provision of services one of the 14 scheduled restorative service days.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 03/16/22 at 12:53 PM, the Restorative Nurse was shown the Point of Care History for Resident #74. The Restorative Nurse stated she believed her restorative staff was pulled to work the floor on two Thursdays recently. When asked what the deferred due to condition documentation on 02/22/22 and 03/03/22 means, the Restorative Nurse was not sure. The Restorative Nurse stated one of the Restorative Aides who documented that was in the building, and she would get her for an interview. When shown the lack of documentation related to the transferring, the Restorative Nurse stated, I know my staff wasn't pulled to the floor all those days. During an interview on 03/16/22 at 1:13 PM, Staff K, a Restorative Aide (RA), along with the Restorative Nurse, confirmed they were only pulled to work as a direct care aide on one of the scheduled restorative services days. During this interview, Staff K-RA explained the documented deferred due to condition was because Resident #74 was unable to do the exercise. When asked if she told anyone, Staff K-RA stated she informed the direct care nurse. The Restorative Nurse stated she was not informed of the inability to do the sit-to-stand exercises and explained the process would have been to either refer Resident #74 back to therapy or to discontinue the intervention if no longer appropriate. The Restorative Nurse agreed with the lack of the provision of restorative services.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A follow up interview with the Restorative Nurse was conducted on 03/16/22 at 9:28 AM. The surveyor shared the Point of Care documentation dated from 02/16/22 through present, showing Resident #88 had multiple episodes of bowel incontinence and documented by different aides. The Restorative Nurse stated in the last couple of weeks, the resident had something happening with access to cigarettes and maybe that situation is affecting her. Residents Affected - Few Interview with the Director of MDS conducted on 03/16/22 at 9:30 AM revealed the section for bowel incontinence was coded strictly by the aide documentation. The Director was just informed that if there is a change in resident's functioning, she was to refer the resident to the restorative program and confirmed Resident #88 was not referred for restorative services. Interview with Resident #88 conducted on 03/16/22 at 1:25 PM revealed at times she has incontinence accidents, both urine and bowel; it does not happen very often and she does not need incontinence briefs. The resident was not able to explain why there was a brief hanging from the back of her wheelchair. Based on the review, Resident #88 experienced a decline in her bowel continence status. The facility identified the decline and no interventions were implemented to restore the resident's level of functioning.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to follow through with ordered speech therapy evaluations for 1 of 5 sampled residents who sustained weight loss, Resident #63; and failed to consistently document the meal intake for Resident #63, in order to accurately assess the resident's meal consumption on 24 of 28 days reviewed. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: During an observation on 03/13/22 at 1:36 PM, Resident #63 was sitting up in bed with her eyes closed, appeared to be sleeping, and her untouched lunch tray was in front of her. On 03/13/22 at 2:13 PM, Resident #63 began eating with the help of Staff Q, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The record lacked documented of the amount of food eaten by Resident #63 for that meal. On 03/14/22 at 9:26 AM, Staff R-CNA, stated Resident #63 did not eat any breakfast. Staff R-CNA stated the resident's daughter usually brings in food for Resident #63 for lunch. The record lacked any documented intake for the breakfast meal. During an interview on 03/14/22 at 11:53 AM, the daughter of Resident #63 explained she visits on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and brings in food for her mother to eat. When asked why she brings in food, the daughter stated, because she (Resident #63) won't eat their food. She doesn't like the pureed food. It looks different and tastes different. When asked if her lack of eating had been addressed by the facility, the daughter stated they were going to speak with the nutritionist or someone about the pureed food (for a possible upgrade in texture). When asked if the resident has had a swallowing study, the daughter was unsure. Additional observations on 03/15/22 at 8:54 AM revealed Resident #63 ate only 50% of the sausage and a few bites of eggs, with the rest of the breakfast untouched. When asked about her breakfast, Resident #63 stated I'm just not hungry. On 03/15/22 at 1:30 PM, the lunch tray for Resident #63 was barely touched, having only eaten a few bites. Resident #63 refused the facility food at this time. The record lacked any documented lunch intake for Resident #63. Review of the record revealed Resident #63 was admitted to the 07/08/19. Review of the current Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment documented Resident #63 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 03, on a 00 to 15 scale, indicating cognitive impairment. This same MDS documented Resident #63 had an unanticipated weight loss. Further review of the record revealed on 09/13/21 Resident #63 weighed 94.8 pounds, and on 03/03/22 Resident #62 weighed 89.2 pounds, which indicated a weight loss of 5.91% over 6 months. On 07/09/21, Resident #63 weighed 101.2 pounds. Review of the Point of Care History for the breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal intake from 02/16/22 through 03/15/22 revealed the following: Fifteen (15) of the 28 days had incomplete intake information, lacking one or two meals. Nine (9) of the 28 days lacked any documented meal consumption. A Quarterly Nutritional Assessment, dated 02/02/22, documented Resident #63 was on a pureed diet with numerous supplements.

Special Instructions: Please have nutrition see the patient for diet change to soft mechanical diet. During an interview on 03/15/22 at 4:11 PM, the Speech Therapist was asked if she had seen Resident #63. The Speech Therapist stated she had not seen Resident #63 lately, but she is on my people to check list. When asked why she was on her list, the Speech Therapist stated she believed nursing had told her she was not happy with her diet, a week or so ago. When asked why she had not seen Resident #63 related to the 02/24/22 request, the Speech Therapist stated she was behind and that ideally a resident should be seen within 24 hours of the request. The Speech Therapist stated she was very busy. During an interview on 03/15/22 at 4:17 PM, the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) services was asked the process for a Speech Therapy referral. The DOR stated the RD usually speaks with the Speech Therapist and a nurse would have to get and write an order for the Speech Therapy evaluation. When asked specifically about Resident #63, the DOR stated she was unaware of the recent request for a Speech Therapy evaluation for a possible upgrade in diet, requested on 02/24/22, related to the resident's dislike in pureed texture, the daughter bringing in food from home, and the resident's weight loss.
