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** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure resident assessments accurately reflected the residents' status for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for discharge, Resident #172. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #172's physician order dated 3/19/2024 read, [Resident #172's name] will discharge home to wife on 3/23/24. Review of Resident #172's Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice dated 3/21/2024 showed the resident will be discharged home.

I should have coded the discharge status as 12, which would read home with home health care. During an interview on 6/29/2024 at 10:10 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, [Resident #172's name] was discharged home and the discharge status was coded wrong to read the resident went to the hospital.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line dressing was changed in accordance with professional standards of practice and intravenous (IV) site was assessed for 1 resident with PICC line, Resident #122 (Photographic evidence obtained). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #122's admission record showed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that include acute bronchitis, cellulitis of the left lower limb, sepsis, and pneumonia. During an observation on 6/17/2024 at 9:50 AM, Resident #122 had a midline IV line in his right arm. There was gauze under the transparent dressing covering the IV insertion site into the arm and the insertion site was not visible. The gauze had a small amount of dried red residue on it and the transparent dressing securing the IV and gauze to the arm was loose and raised from the arm at the bottom of the dressing. Review of Resident #122's physician order dated 6/13/2024 read, Insert midline. May use lidocaine one time only for antibiotics for 1 day. Review of the document titled IV ACCESS, INC. dated 6/13/2024 at 8:13 PM read, Patient Name: [Resident #122's name] . Reason for visit: New order, Midline .

Review of Resident #122's Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed that the resident received Ceftriaxone Sodium Injection Solution through the midline IV in the right arm on 6/15/2024 at 6:26 AM and 5:07 PM, on 6/16/2024 at 5:55 AM and 6:09 PM, and on 6/17/2024 at 5:31 AM.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #122's MAR showed staff initials indicating administration of monitoring IV site for signs and symptoms of infection on 6/14/2024 in the evening and night shifts, and on 6/15/2024, 6/16/2024, 6/17/2024, and 6/18/2024 in the day, evening and night shifts. During an interview on 6/19/2024 at 4:34 PM, Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Unit Manager, stated, We go by the policy for PICC dressing changes. After the midline IV is inserted, the dressing needs to be changed and the gauze covering the IV entrance site needs to be removed after 24 hours. When the dressing is changed at 24 hours, they [the nurses] do not reapply the gauze over the IV entrance site. We cannot assess the site appropriately with the gauze covering the site because the entrance into the skin and the surrounding skin is not visible. During an interview on 6/20/2024 at 6:51 AM, Staff C, LPN, stated, He [Resident #122] had gauze covering the IV entrance site under the dressing, so I couldn't assess the site initially. The bottom end of the dressing was loose, so I lifted it a little so I could see the IV entrance into the skin. I couldn't assess the entrance site for redness, swelling, or kinks in the line when it was covered with gauze. During a telephone interview on 6/20/2024 at 10:38 AM, Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN), stated, The initial midline dressing needs to be changed after a day. With the gauze covering the entrance site, you can't see to assess for patency or infection. I guess I should have changed it [Resident #122's midline IV dressing] before I administered the medication or flushed the IV. Not changing the dressing when soiled or leaving the gauze in place increases the risk of infection and the gauze being left in place obstructs the view of the entrance site. You can't appropriately assess the site with the gauze in place. During an interview on 6/20/2024 at 11:17 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Our policy for midline IVs is to change the dressing and remove the gauze 24 hours after initial placement. It is difficult to assess the entrance site of the IV with the gauze in place covering the site. Leaving the gauze in place after 24 hours creates an increased risk of infection. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled P&P PICC IV Line last reviewed on 1/17/2024 showed that it read, Policy: It will be the policy of this facility to adhere to IV/PICC line administration guidelines as set forth by infection control, state and federal regulations. Licensed nurses shall provide care according to state and federal law . Dressing changes: 1. Sterile dressing change using transparent dressings is performed: 24 hours post-insertion or upon admission if not dated upon admission; At least weekly; If the integrity of the dressing has been compromised (wet, loose, or soiled). 2. dressing changes will be documented in the clinical record.
