Resident #150 on her assignment today and has had him once before since his admission. She revealed
she was from agency staffing and floats all over the facility. She was unaware of why Resident #150 still
had his FALL RISK yellow band on his wrist and indicated those usually come with the resident when they
are discharged from the hospital. She revealed he has been here about a week and perhaps the band
should have been cut off when admitted .
On 10/8/2021 at 10:24 a.m. an interview with Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed that usually
when returning or admitted from the hospital, if a resident has that band on, it was usually removed upon
their admission.

admitted to the facility from the hospital and is wearing a wrist band, to include a FALL RISK band, it should
be removed the day of their admission to the facility. She confirmed they have facility assessments and care
plans that would identify the resident as fall risk and would not need to wear a band to identify that. She
confirmed the resident's dignity should be maintained by not wearing signage like that on their person.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to implement the care plan for one (#43) out
of twenty-two sampled residents that resided on the secured unit related to assessing the skin condition on
a weekly basis.
Findings included:
Resident #43 was observed on 10/6/21 at 8:51 a.m. in the facility's secured unit's dining room. The resident
was sitting in a wheelchair with a dirty surgical mask hanging from its handle.
Resident #43 was observed on 10/8/21 at 8:20 a.m., sitting in the secured unit's dining room. The resident's
hair was bushy and the resident's general appearance was unkept.
The Resident Face Sheet for Resident #43 indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] and included
diagnoses not limited to Type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma, age-related cognitive
decline, and hemiplegia and hemiparesis following unspecified cerebrovascular disease affecting left
non-dominant side.
The care plan, initiated on 9/18/19, for Resident #43 indicated the resident was at risk for skin breakdown
related to impaired mobility, episode of bowel/bladder incontinence, diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (DM).
Stage 3 pressure ulcer to left heel, arterial ulcer to right heel. The staff approaches for this problem
included: weekly skin checks by licensed nurse and to notify MD (medical doctor) if indicated for new skin
breakdown issues. The care plan, initiated on 10/27/18, identified that Resident #43 required extensive to
total assistance with mobility, transfer, locomotion, toileting, personal hygiene/grooming r/t (related to)
weakness, complex diagnosis. The approach instructed staff to offer and encourage assistance with bed
mobility, transfer, locomotion, dressing, eating, toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing as needed,
encourage to participate in task. A long-term goal was that Resident #43 would have no s/s
(signs/symptoms) of urinary tract infection and be free of skin breakdown r/t incontinence through the NRD
(next review date) as the resident had episodes of bowel and bladder incontinence and ADL (Activities of
Daily Living) deficits.
The Physician Order Report from 9/8/21 to 10/8/21, provided by the facility, did not include an order for
weekly skin assessment.
A review of the September and October 2021 Treatment Administration Records (TAR) indicated staff were
to assess Resident #43's skin once a day on Monday and to document under weekly skin inspections
under Observations. This treatment began on 8/10/21 and was without a stop date. The September TAR
indicated a skin assessment was completed on 9/6, 9/13, 9/20, and 9/27. The October TAR identified that a
skin assessment was completed on 10/4/21.
A review of the most recent 8 observations for Resident #43 indicated that the last Weekly Skin Inspection
was completed on 8/12/21. The Weekly Skin Inspection completed on 8/12/21 was the last observation, of
any type.
A review of the 20 most recent progress notes indicated Resident #43 was seen by wound MD weekly

continued on an antibiotic for skin rash, on 9/3/21 Dermatology was in the facility to visit the resident, and
on 8/24/21 the resident was noted to have left great toenail peeled back. The progress notes did not
describe the skin rash that was being treated.
The Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated Resident #43 had a Brief Interview of
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 00 indicative of severe cognition impairment. The MDS indicated Resident
#43 required extensive physical assistance from two persons for bathing, personal hygiene, toilet use, and
transferring.
A review of Resident #43's September Behavior Monitoring indicated the resident had rejected care on
9/11/21. A review of the resident's October Behavior Monitoring did not indicate that the resident had
rejected care. The review of the resident's 20 most recent progress notes, dated 8/21/21 to 10/1/21,
indicated that on 9/30/21 a Social Services note revealed the resident could be resistive with care at times,
on 8/24/21 a Social Services note indicated the resident had increased verbal outbursts, and a Registered
Nurse, on 8/24/21, identified the resident was seen by psych Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner.
During an interview, on 10/8/21 at 5:05 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that all residents get a
skin assessment weekly. She confirmed the last skin assessment for Resident #43 was completed on
8/12/21. She reviewed the TAR and confirmed that staff had documented that a skin assessment was
completed then stated, maybe they did a progress note. She reviewed the progress notes and stated it
should be documented if the resident refused. The DON stated her expectation was the refusal to be
documented and for the nurse to reapproach the resident.
The facility's Supporting Activities of Daily Living (ADL) policy, revised March 2018, identified that,
Residents will be provided with care, treatment, and services as appropriate to maintain or improve their
ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). The policy identified that Appropriate care and services
will be provided for residents who are unable to carry out ADLS independently, with the consent of the
resident and in accordance with the plan of care, including appropriate support and assistance with:
Hygiene (bathing, dressing, grooming, and oral care). The policy instructed, If residents with cognitive
impairment or dementia resist care, staff will attempt to identify the underlying cause of the problem and not
just assume the resident is refusing or declining care. Approaching the resident in a different way or at a
different time, of having another staff member speak with the resident may be appropriate.

and a covered plate. Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN) entered the room next to Resident #21's, and
removed Resident #29 from the room, and placed the resident in the hallway. Resident #29 propelled
himself to the doorway of Resident #21's room and moments later was observed drinking a cup of
orange-colored liquid, which was not observed in his possession when the staff member removed him from
the other room. The cup, previously observed on Resident #21's tray, was not on the tray and the lid was
lying next to the covered plate. Staff I removed Resident #29 from the doorway, into the hallway, then began
to walk away. The staff member confirmed Resident #29 probably shouldn't have the juice. As the staff
member removed the cup from Resident #29's grasp it was observed to be a thin consistency.
A review of Resident #21's diet orders indicated the resident was to receive a mechanically-altered diet with
thin liquids in addition to liquid nutrition through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube.
A review of Resident #29's physician orders for September 8, 2021 to October 8, 2021 indicated the
resident was to receive a mechanical soft diet with honey thick liquids, with pureed meats and pureed rice.
Staff Q, CNA was observed, on 10/8/21 at 12:35 p.m., with a hydration cart in the hallway of the secured
unit. She stated there were no drinks on the meal trays and it was a new process the facility was trying. She
stated she was passing liquids after the meals because if the residents see the liquids on the tray, they tend
to leave it and this way she can make sure they're getting their drinks.
The Nursing Home Administrator stated, at 1:03 p.m. on 10/8/21, the staff member had removed the liquid
from Resident #29. He stated the facility will lock all beverages in the hydration cart and residents with
mechanically altered diets would now be brought upstairs to the dining room and would not have access to
each other liquids.
2. On 10/8/21 at 12:40 p.m., Resident #45 was observed sitting on the edge of his bed, in a room at the far
end of the secured unit, drinking a cup of liquid, no other items were observed on the over-the-bed table in
front of the resident. Resident #45 was observed, at 12:48 p.m. on 10/8/21, ambulating from the opposite
end of the unit to his room eating a bread roll. Resident #45 and the bread roll were brought to the attention
of the Risk Manager, which she removed from the resident's possession.
The Director of Nursing stated, at 5:30 p.m. on 10/8/2021, that she felt the issue regarding dining was that it
was a dementia unit and the residents wander.

prescriber orders, including any required time frame . #7. Medications are administered within one (1) hour
of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for example, before and after meal orders).
In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/08/21 at 6:00 p.m., she said it was her expectation
that medications are to be given on time, which is one hour before and one hour after their scheduled time.
If a nurse is running behind, she expects them to speak up, communicate, and ask for assistance. If a
medication is given late or not at all, the physician should be notified, and it should be documented in the
chart. If a medication is an over the counter (OTC) medication, then it should be available in either one of

A review of Resident #5's Medical Record revealed that Resident #5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
A review of Resident #5's Physician's Orders revealed the following order:
- Insulin Aspart solution 100 units per ml to be administered subcutaneously four times a day (06:30 AM,
11:30 AM, 04:30 PM, and 09:00 PM) by sliding scale: If Blood Sugar is 201 to 250, give 4 units.
An observation of medication administration was conducted on 12/09/2021 at 11:45 AM with Staff B,

subcutaneously by FlexPen based on Resident #5's blood glucose reading of 210. Staff B, RN gathered
Resident #5's Insulin Aspart FlexPen, a disposable needle, and an alcohol pad from the medication cart.
Staff B, RN cleaned the tip of the Insulin Aspart FlexPen with the alcohol pad before attaching the
disposable needle to the tip of the FlexPen. Staff B, RN then dialed 4 units on the dosage selector of the
FlexPen and brought the FlexPen and an additional alcohol pad into Resident #5's room for administration.
Staff B, RN did not prime the disposable needle of the FlexPen with insulin before dialing 4 units on the
dosage selector. Staff B, RN cleaned Resident #5's right upper extremity with the alcohol pad and
administered the Insulin Aspart subcutaneously without difficulty. A follow up interview was conducted with
Staff B, RN following the observation. Staff B, RN stated that she was not aware that FlexPens needed to
be primed with insulin before administration. Staff B, RN also stated that she did not receive education
related to insulin pens and the necessity of priming the needle before administration.
An telephone interview was conducted on 12/09/2021 at 03:18 PM with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist.
The Consultant Pharmacist stated that she provided documents to the facility to assist the facility in
conducting medication administration audits and had worked with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON)
things to watch for during the audits, such as timeliness of the administration and proper documentation.
The Consultant Pharmacist also stated that she did not recall discussing use of insulin pens as part of the
plan of corrections. The Consultant Pharmacist stated that nursing staff should be priming insulin pens by
applying the needle to the pen, adjusting the dosage selector to 2 units, and injecting 2 units of insulin into
the needle before dialing up the dosage needed for administration. The Consultant Pharmacist also stated
that a resident could potentially not receive the correct dose if the needle was not primed prior to
administration.
An interview was conducted on 12/09/2021 at 04:09 PM with the facility's DON and Risk Manager (RM).
The RM stated that the initial issue that the facility was correcting was related to documentation and
medications being administered late. Medication administration times were adjusted in order to give the
nursing staff a larger window to administer them. The DON stated that education related to medication
errors was provided to facility staff by a third party and that all agency staff were educated as part of their
orientation. The DON and RM stated that facility Agency staff were not educated specifically on the use of
insulin pens and the need to prime the insulin pen needle before administering insulin. The DON stated that
insulin pens required priming of the needle with 2 units of insulin prior to administration to ensure that there
was no air in the needle of the pen. The RM stated that the facility may need to conduct more education
with their staff to ensure that staff knows how to properly use the insulin pens.
A review of the facility policy titled Insulin Administration, last revised in September 2014, revealed under
the section titled Preparation, that the nursing staff will have access to specific

instructions (from the manufacturer if appropriate) on all forms of insulin delivery system(s) prior to their
use.
A review of facility pharmacy guidelines titled Guidance for Using Insulin Products, dated August 2018,
revealed under the section titled Preparation of Product, to minimize air bubbles in pen-like devices prime
the pen prior to each and every injection by pushing 2 units into the air until a drop of insulin is seen at the
top of the needle. If this does not happen after 4 attempts, change needles. The guidelines also revealed
that air bubbles themselves are not considered dangerous but could result in a decrease in the dose
administered.
A review of the manufacturers instructions for the Novolog (insulin aspart) FlexPen indicated the following
steps under the section titled Priming your Novolog FlexTouch Pen:
- Turn the dose selector to select 2 units.
- Hold the Pen with the needle pointing up. Tap the top of the Pen gently a few times to let any air bubbles
rise to the top.
- Hold the Pen with the needle pointing up. Press and hold in the dose button until the dose counter shows
0. The 0 must line up with the dose pointer.
- A drop of insulin should be seen at the needle tip. If you do not see a drop of insulin, repeat the steps no
more than 6 times. If you still do not see a drop, change the needle.

The Housekeeping Director was observed on 10/6/21 at 8:32 a.m., standing on a ladder across from the
secured unit's elevator, cleaning the ceiling air vent. She stated that this one sweats due to a nearby
entrance door, which caused the black biofilm growth. She stated the air vents get cleaned every week or
eight days. The Housekeeping Director stated she did not know when the top of the vents were cleaned and
did not know why the other vents were dirty (bio growth).
On 10/6/21 at 9:00 a.m., the Risk Manager (RM) was observed cutting away the mesh STOP signs. She
stated she thought that staff wiped them down and the reason for taking them down was that they were no
longer necessary for the residents residing in the room. The RM confirmed the signs did appear dirty and
the ripped one in front of room [ROOM NUMBER] had been ripped for a while. She stated the residents
who wandered destroyed them as they pulled the signs from the brackets. The Housekeeping Director
stated, at 9:22 a.m. on 10/6/21, that her team wiped the STOP signs down but they only got laundered if
they were brought to the laundry area.
On 10/7/21 at 9:18 a.m., Staff K, Activity Aide, stated maintenance cleaned the chairs (on the activity
porch) but did not know how often they were cleaned. She watched as Resident #45 sat down in the glider
chair on the activity porch and confirmed the chair was not cleaned. She stated she was going to have the
chair removed from the porch. Staff P, Housekeeper came out to the activity porch and began cleaning the
glider chair, she stated the chairs were cleaned every day and the problem was the mildew.
A tour of the secured unit was conducted, on 10/7/21 at 9:41 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON). She
stated the shower room needed to be cleaned by the aides after each use and during Angel Rounds she
looked into each resident room on the unit. The Risk Manager (RM) joined, at 9:44 a.m., during the tour of
the unit. The RM observed the wardrobe in room [ROOM NUMBER] and stated the wardrobe bottom was
not cleanable. The DON and RM agreed the unused coaxial cable hanging from the resident room walls
could be hazards. The DON viewed all resident rooms with concerns and stated the Maintenance Director
was only one person and he was working on replacing the baseboards. She admitted to a sour smell in
rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]. The RM explained the holes under the towel dispensers were made as the
dispensers were moved to their current spaces. The DON stated she had informed housekeeping to wipe
down the stop signs when they were cleaning high touch areas and confirmed the signs were torn prior to
be taken down. The DON confirmed the exposed particle board on the residents' beds was not cleanable
and could be an issue with residents going in and out of other rooms. She confirmed the legs of three out of
four tables in the dining room were opened and uncapped and the residents fragile skin could be torn by
the table legs. During a tour of the activity porch with the DON, she made note of the water damage above
the door and confirmed the door frame was rusty metal. The DON stated the Maintenance Director was the
only one at the facility and was trying to do what he could. She stated that some of the issues had been
identified during the last Quality Assurance meeting and admitted that the decayed wardrobes were a
hazard and should have been replaced when they were identified.
