his room. It was at 17:55 when the CNA alerted the nurse. The CNA went into the room to serve the dinner
tray and he was not there. They reeducated staff and did missing resident drills. Staff did a count to make
sure everyone was accounted for. After the incident, all residents were reviewed for elopement
assessments. They had a systemic change in two things. They didn't have a receptionist at that time when

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure splints were applied to
prevent a decrease in range of motion for one resident (#45) of two sampled resident for range of motion.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
An observation conducted of Resident #45, on 04/10/2023 at 9:58 AM and 04/13/2023 at 10:00 AM,
revealed Resident #45 in his bed, without any splints or braces on his hands. Both of his hands were
observed each time with closed, fingers bent and touching the palms.
A review of Resident #45's admission Record revealed diagnoses that included Hemiplegia (partial
paralysis) following cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting left non-dominant side and dementia without
behavioral disturbance.
A review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/04/2023, Section C: Cognitive Pattern,
revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 0/15, which indicated the resident was severely
cognitively impaired. Section G: Functional Status revealed he required extensive to total assistance with
mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) performance and had functional limitations in range of motion on
one side for upper extremity (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand) and lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle foot). In
addition the MDS did not have a restorative program marked.
A review of the Order Review Report with active physician orders as of 04/13/2023 reflected the following:
May have restorative/maintenance programs as indicated, order date 08/20/2022.
The care plan for Resident #45 revealed a focus area for complications due to a stroke affecting the left
side/Hemiplegia, which included interventions: Monitor/document mobility status. If resident is presenting
with any problems or paralysis, obtain order for Physical therapy and Occupational therapy to evaluate and
treat, initiated 04/21/2021. The care plan was silent of any focus areas or interventions related to range of
motion or contracture prevention.
A review of Resident #45's Occupational Therapy Treatment Encounter, notes dated showed:
*10/05/2022, communication was conducted with supervisors regarding the delivery of bilateral upper
extremity orthotic's for the resident.
*10/07/2022, resident was compliant with adaptations; resident was discharged from case load.
*10/14/2022, resident needs to have further assessment of orthotic and wearing ability after initial fitting.
Resident had orders for occupational therapy, three times per week to increase tolerance of bilateral upper
extremity orthotic's. *11/17/2022, resident was able to tolerate left upper extremity resting hand splint and
right upper extremity slim grip orthotic for 6 hours with no pain or redness during doffing.
An interview was conducted on 04/13/2023 at 9:05 AM with Staff F, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
assigned to Resident #45. She stated she recalled the splints but has not seen them in quite a while. If he
(Resident #45) were to have splints, they would be in his room. No splints were located in

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
An interview was conducted on 04/13/2023 at 09:10 AM with Staff D, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She
stated she remembered him with splints, but therapy puts them on and off. She hasn't seen them for a
while.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview was conducted with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 04/13/2023 at 09:11 AM. She
stated therapy screens all residents not on current case load, quarterly, for position/contracture
management and other declines. If any change status, then therapy will request orders for evaluation and
treatment from the physician. Nursing also can give us a request for therapy to screen based on
observation of a problem.
In regards to, [Resident #45] the DOR stated he was seen for OT (Occupational Therapy) in November
2022. He is currently in an active restorative program. The DON is acting as our restorative nurse, at this
time. We have two CNAs that are assigned to assist with the tasks for the restorative program. Resident
#45 was discharged from OT on 11/17/22 with the splint to left upper extremity and right had slim grip. The
DOR provided a document titled THERAPY TO RESTORATIVE NURSING COMMUNICATION, for
Resident #45. The form revealed PT/OT/ST (Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy/Speech Therapy)
Functional Maintenance Intervention Suggestions:, under Bracing/Splinting was checked for the Type: Left
Upper Extremity (LUE) resting hand/right upper extremity (RUE) slim grip; Body Part: LUE/RUE; Wearing
Schedule: 6 hours, a day 5 days a week. Under section Adaptive Equipment/Special Instruction given: the
therapist documented, Conduct passive range of motion (PROM) on bilateral upper extremities (BUE's)
prior to orthotic application, 5 repetitions for 3 sets. Conduct hand hygiene prior to application. Client is to
wear orthotic's for 6 hours a day 5 days a week for ongoing duration as tolerated. Perform skin checks
before and after application. DOR stated this form was provided to nursing in November 2022. The DOR
reviewed her list of residents on the restorative program, and Resident #45 was on the list for current
residents to be seen.
An interview was conducted with Staff G, Restorative CNA, on 04/13/2023 at 11:45 AM. She stated
Resident #45's splint went missing toward the end of last year (2022). I informed the nurse, the Unit
Manager, as well as in our weekly restorative meeting. I have been placing hand rolls in his hands so that
his fingers were not digging into his hands.
An interview was conducted at 04/13/2023 10:37 AM with the DOR and Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON stated Resident #45 could not tolerate the splints therapy recommended back in September 2022.
The DON stated the expectation would be to have documentation to support that a resident could not
tolerate the splint. The DON states the Therapy Intervention was missed, and they don't know why. The
DOR stated they are going to have the resident screened for an evaluation for the splint to prevent further
decline.
Review of the policy and procedure titled, Mobility/Range of Motion, undated, revealed Intent: It is the policy
of the facility to ensure that the residents receive range of motion, in accordance with State and Federal
Regulations. Procedure: 1. The facility will ensure that based on the comprehensive assessment of a
resident: a. that a resident who enters the facility without limited range of motion does not experience
reduction in range of motion unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrates that a reduction in range
of motion is unavoidable; b. a resident with limited range of motion receives appropriate treatment and
services to increase range of motion and/or to prevent further decrease in range of motion. C. A resident
with limited mobility receives appropriate serves, equipment, and assistance to maintain or improve mobility
with the maximum practicable independence
