PTSD selected as a diagnosis. Review of the most recent Psychiatry consultant notes for the previous year
revealed that care included treatment for nightmares and persistent anxiety. There was one document titled
, OC Trauma Informed Care Evaluation dated 02/10/2023, all responses to questions regarding trauma
were documented as no except for a question regarding whether the resident had been diagnosed with
COVID-19, that was documented as yes. Review of Resident #5's care plan revealed no focus areas for
PTSD/Trauma or trauma-informed care.
An interview was conducted with the facility Social Services Director (SSD) on 02/21/2023 11:37 a.m. The
SSD confirmed that she was not aware that Resident #5 had any identified PTSD/Trauma.
The facility Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 02/21/2023 at 1:13 p.m. She confirmed
PTSD/Trauma was identified for Resident #5 on the facility Resident Matrix document. She stated the
resident had nightmares and neither the resident nor the son was forthcoming about any details other than
evening and nighttime were an anxious and stressful time for her. The DON stated Resident #5 had not
been forthcoming with anyone about the cause of her nightmares. The DON reported that because of the
nightmares and because of being treated for them with medication in the past, she had been identified as
having PTSD/Trauma. The DON provided documentation from Resident # 5's medical record on the
Medication Administration Record (MAR) of treatment with Prazosin at bedtime for nightmares from
08/23/2022 - 01/19/2023. The DON reviewed the Trauma Informed Care Evaluation document dated
02/10/2023 and said, because she's not forthcoming, I don't know that she would have said anything during
this evaluation. I know what I know because I've taken care of her and because of some of the
conversations I've had with her son. The DON stated, she triggered as PTSD/Trauma because she did have
the diagnosis of PTSD and nightmares when she was taking that medication. The DON reviewed Resident
#5's care plan and confirmed there was no focus area specific to PTSD/Trauma.
An interview was conducted with Staff I, RCRN, on 02/21/2023 at 3:43 p.m. She reported that trauma
informed care was the responsibility of Social Services personnel and stated, they do the assessment, they
are responsible for that being entered as a focus area of the care plan. Staff I confirmed that trauma
informed care should be an individual focus area on the care plan.
Review of facility policy titled, Comprehensive Care Plans revised 01/2022 revealed the following:
Trauma -informed care is an approach to delivering care that involves understanding, recognizing, and
responding to the effects of all types of trauma. A trauma-informed approach to care delivery recognizes
the widespread impact, and signs and symptoms of trauma in residents, and incorporates knowledge about
trauma into care plans, policies, procedures and practices to avoid re-traumatization.
3. The comprehensive care plan will describe, at a minimum, the following: .g. Individualized interventions
for trauma survivors that recognizes the interrelation between trauma and symptoms of trauma, as
indicated. Trigger- specific interventions will be used to identify ways to decrease the resident's exposure to
triggers which re-traumatize the resident, as well as identify ways to mitigate or decrease the effect of the
trigger on the resident.
5. An observation on 02/19/23 at 12:12 PM, showed Resident #81 had an oxygen concentrator at bedside
with a humidifier bottle attached.
A record review of Resident #81's medical record showed a physician order dated 01/22/23 that stated,
Oxygen at 2 liters/ min via nasal cannula humidification: Yes. A review of the comprehensive care plan
showed no focus, goal or intervention for oxygen administration.

interview, record review and, policy review, the facility failed to ensure there was ongoing communication
and collaboration with the dialysis facility for one (Resident #59) of one resident reviewed for dialysis care
and services.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
During an interview on 02/19/23 at 12:46 PM, Resident #59 stated that she went to Dialysis on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays.
A record review of Resident #59's medical record showed diagnoses of End Stage Renal Disease
(Primary) and Dependence on Renal Dialysis. A physician order dated 02/03/23 showed the resident was
to attend a local Dialysis Center on the days of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays with transportation,
location and times noted in the order.
The five day minimum data set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed Dialysis treatment for Resident #59 in section

and Dialysis.
Further record review of Resident #59's dialysis book showed blank Dialysis Communication Form. There
was no completed Dialysis Communication Forms located in Resident #59's dialysis book.
During an interview on 02/20/23 at 1:55 PM, Staff D Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated that the dialysis
communication form for Saturday 02/18/23 should have been completed and located in Resident #59's

During an interview on 02/20/23 at 2:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated there was probably no
dialysis communication forms in the dialysis book because the forms get pulled immediately from the book

the physicians come into the facility to see the residents, the dialysis information was available for review in
the electronic medical record. The DON was asked to pull up the assessment tab for review of the dialysis
communication forms scanned into electronic medical record. The DON found one Dialysis Communication
Form scanned under the assessment tab dated 01/01/23. The DON was not able to provide any other
completed Dialysis communication Forms in either Resident #59's dialysis book or in the electronic medical
record.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Hemodialysis with revised date 11/28/22 stated that the licensed nurse
will communicate to the dialysis facility via written format, such as a dialysis communication form.
