**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain Advance Directives and physician order for code
status for 1 of 28 residents reviewed for Advance Directives, (#459).
Findings:
Resident #459 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dementia and altered
mental status.
Review of the resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated a Brief
Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 5 that indicated severe cognitive impairment.
Review of the Hospital admission Data dated 12/2/2020 indicated resident #459 was not capable of making
his own medical decisions.
A review of the resident's medical record revealed no documentation that indicated the resident/responsible
party's wishes for code status.
On 1/4/2021 at 1:40 PM, the Unit Manager of Wing 1 stated she was unable to find a physician order for
code status for resident #459. She said the process was, Upon admission, the Social Worker discusses the
code status with the resident/family/responsible party and verifies the code status. Any documents
supporting the decision are requested. Those documents are then placed in the resident's medical record
under the Advance Directives tab. The physician is then notified, and an order is obtained and placed in
front of the medical record. The order is then submitted electronically. If a resident becomes unresponsive,
the staff calls for help and checks the hard chart for an order for either Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNRO)
or Full Resuscitation Order. The Unit Manager stated that if resident #459 was found unresponsive, Full
Resuscitation would be initiated and 911 called as there was no order for code status.
During a telephone conversation on 1/4/21 at 1:55 PM, resident #439's daughter stated she had Durable
Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Living Will dated 1/16/2020. She stated the document named her
as the resident's Health Care Agent for his health decisions. She added, The will states he does not want
anything done to keep him alive if he stops breathing. He just wants to go peacefully. The resident's
daughter noted the facility had not contacted her about her father's advanced directives.
On 1/4/21 at 2:15 PM, interviews were attempted with resident #459's admitting nurse and the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide intravenous (IV) care and services
according to standards of practice and plan of care for 1 of 1 residents reviewed for IV care, out of 28 total
sampled residents, (#65).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Resident #65 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an acute care hospital with diagnoses that
included urinary tract infection (UTI). He had a Midline IV line inserted 12/29/20 in the left arm for
administration of IV antibiotics. He was receiving Ceftriaxone (IV antibiotic) daily for UTI until 1/3/21. He had
additional orders in effect dated 12/31/20 for nurses to document the IV site appearance every shift (3 times
per day) and flush every 8 hours.
A midline catheter is put into a vein by the bend in your elbow or your upper arm . The midline tube ends in
a vein below your armpit .midline catheter may allow you to receive long-term intravenous (IV) medicine or
treatments .(www.drugs.com).
On 01/03/21 at 12:45 PM, resident #65 was observed in bed. He had a transparent dressing on his left
upper arm midline IV site with no date. The lower portion of the transparent dressing had gauze under it
which was soiled with dark brown substance and was lifting off the skin. The resident was alert and oriented
and said that he was getting IV antibiotics for a UTI and his nurse just left his room.
On 01/04/21 at 11 AM, resident #65 was observed in bed and the midline IV in his left forearm appeared
same as yesterday's observation. There was no date on the dressing which was soiled and lower 1/3 of the
dressing was lifting off the skin.
A review of the medication administration record (MAR) revealed that nursing staff documented:
Flushing IV 01/03/21- 6 AM, 2 PM and 11 PM
01/04/21- 6 AM and 2 PM
IV site appearance was unremarkable on : 01/03/21- Day, Evening and Night shift
01/04/21- Day shift
The nurses' documentation of resident #65's IV site appearance contradicted actual observations
conducted by surveyor on both days (01/03 to 01/04/21).
Resident #65's care plan initiated on 12/31/20 for IV Medications included interventions to Check dressing

not get to it yet. LPN A noted the standard of practice regarding soiled dressing was that it should have
been changed this morning when identified as not changing it could lead to infection.
On 01/04/21 at 5:37 PM, the Wing III UM said she saw resident #65's soiled IV dressing at lunch time when
she was setting up his lunch tray. She stated she spoke to assigned LPN A about the need to change
resident #65's dressing. She indicated that LPN A did not inform her that she was too busy to change the
dressing or needed help. The UM then checked the resident's orders and said the nurse should have
changed the dressing immediately as it was loose and soiled. She added that the resident had physician
orders to change the dressing as needed if soiled.
On 01/04/21 at 6:00 PM, LPN B verified that he was assigned to resident #65 on 01/03/21 day shift, 7 AM
to 7 PM. He said he did not notice that resident #65's IV dressing was soiled or lifting off the skin yesterday
(01/03/21). He said he gave the resident's IV antibiotics and documented twice on his shift that he checked
the site. LPN B indicated it was the facility policy to change IV dressings within 24 hours of admission and
there was no excuse as he should have changed it yesterday because not changing it could lead to blood
infection.
On 01/06/21 at 12:02 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said the expectation was that nurses checked the
IV site every time they went into resident rooms to give medications or flush IV. she added the nurses
should have changed the IV dressing timely as not changing it could have caused infection or the IV could
have come out.
According to the facility Infection Control policy dated 08/16, Dressing Changes .Transparent,
semi-permeable membrane (TSM) dressings are changed a minimum of every 7 days and /or prn (as
needed) whenever the dressing becomes wet, loose, or soiled

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure respiratory therapy was provided as
per physician orders for 2 of 5 residents of a total sample of 28 residents, (#73, #508).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
1. Resident #73 was re-admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on [DATE]. The resident's
diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and fracture of the left lower leg.
The Medical Certification for Medicaid Long Term Care Services and Patient Transfer 3008 Form dated
12/23/20 indicated the resident was on continuous oxygen (O2) at 2 liters per minute (LPM) via nasal
cannula.
A review of the resident's medical record revealed physician orders dated 01/03/21 for Oxygen at 2 LPM via
NC continuously for COPD every shift for shortness of breath (SOB). The resident's care plan for oxygen
noted an intervention to administer as ordered .
A review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 01/03 to 01/04/21 revealed the nurses
documented every shift (3 times) per day that the resident received the ordered dose of oxygen at 2 LPM.
On 01/03/21 at 12:20 PM and 01/04/21 at 11:05 AM and 5:10 PM, resident #73 was observed in bed with
O2 via nasal cannula. The concentrator was set at 3.5 LPM. Resident #73 was alert and oriented to person
and place and denied adjusting her oxygen concentrator.
On 01/04/21 at 5:15 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A entered the resident's room and stated the
resident's O2 concentrator was set at 3.5 LPM. LPN A stated the oxygen should be at 2 LPM. She said the
resident had COPD and getting increased oxygen could make her condition worse and cause increased
shortness of breath.
On 01/04/21 at 5:44 PM, Wing III Unit Manger (UM) stated that resident #73 was ordered to receive oxygen
at 2 LPM via NC. The UM added that the assigned nurses should have checked the liter flow every time
they went in the resident's room to ensure the prescribed rate. The UM indicated that too much oxygen with
resident that has COPD could have an adverse reaction. She said that resident #73 went out to a doctor's
appointment today at 11:30 AM and the nurse should have checked the oxygen rate when she returned to
ensure it was at 2 LPM. The UM was asked about the resident's ability to adjust her oxygen concentrator.
She stated that, even if she could get to the concentrator, I don't know that she would try to adjust it.
On 01/04/21 at 5:53 PM, LPN B verified he was assigned to resident #73's care yesterday, on 01/03/21 (7
AM to 7 PM). He said he checked her oxygen concentrator rate and put it at 2 LPM. He could not remember
if he checked during his shift. LPN B said that if the resident received a higher rate of oxygen, she could
stop breathing.
On 01/06/21 at 11:44 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said the nurses should have observed the oxygen
concentrator setting every time they went in resident rooms to ensure the correct dose was being

On 01/04/21 at 5:33 PM, the Wing 3 Unit Manager stated that the resident's O2 concentrator was set at 3
LPM. She checked the physician orders and said the orders were for the oxygen to be given at 2 LPM
continuously for SOB. The UM explained that nurses were expected to check O2 at the start, end and
throughout the shift. She added that nurses should checked the oxygen settings any time they went into the
resident's room. The UM could not explain why the oxygen was not set at the prescribed rate.
Review of the policy titled, Oxygen Therapy and Devices read, purpose is to maintain normal body function.
It indicated that oxygen is a drug which must be ordered by a physician. The policy also included to verify
