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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide services and treatments to prevent further decrease in range of motion for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for positioning and mobility of a total sample of 23 residents, (#1 and #14).
Findings: 1. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including weakness, spinal fusion, cerebral infarction, hemiplegia and hemiparesis. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment with assessment reference date (ARD) of 7/15/22 revealed resident #1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10 which indicated she had moderate cognitive impairment. She required extensive to total assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). The document revealed the resident did not exhibit any behavioral symptoms including rejection of care. The assessment indicated resident #1 had limited range of motion (ROM) to one side of her body for both upper and lower extremities. A care plan for limited physical mobility related to cerebrovascular accident with right sided hemiparesis was initiated 4/30/21 and revised 4/28/22. Interventions included monitor/document/report as needed any signs/symptoms of immobility: contractures forming or worsening, and skin breakdown; Physical Therapy/Occupation therapy referrals as ordered; and passive range of motion to right upper extremity. Review of resident #1's Medication Review Report for July 2022 revealed a physician order dated 4/23/21 for Physical Therapy (PT) to evaluate and treat as indicated and an order dated 4/23/21 for Occupational Therapy (OT) to evaluate and treat. The report did not contain an order for any splints. On 7/25/22 at 11:35 AM, 7/25/22 at 3:26 PM, 7/26/22 at 9:11 AM and 7/27/22 at 9:56 AM, resident #1 was observed in bed. Her right hand and arm were contracted and held tightly to her chest. Resident #1 did not have a splint on her right arm or hand and did not have a hand roll in her right hand. On 7/27/22 at 10:21 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A stated the resident was dependent on staff for most ADLs. She reported the resident was contracted on her right side and did not have a splint or assistive device. She could not recall the resident ever having a splint. CNA A explained she washed resident #1's right hand as part of ADL care and used a washcloth to clean inside her hand and between her fingers. She reported the resident expressed discomfort when she performed ADL care on her right hand. CNA A demonstrated how she washed the resident's contracted hand and the resident grimaced but allowed CNA to open her hand. At this time CNA A searched the resident's room but was unable to find a splint. On 7/27/22 at 10:44 AM, the Therapy Director stated resident #1 was not currently on therapy caseload. He recalled she had been evaluated in May 2022 and was seen up by OT from May 11 - June 23, 2022. The Therapy Director reviewed the therapy notes and reported OT worked with the resident on right upper extremity range of motion and splint tolerance for 6-8 hours. He explained resident #1 was transferred to restorative nursing program at discharge from therapy with a restorative form completed and emailed to the restorative nurse. At 11:04 AM, the Therapy Director entered resident #1's room

and assessed the resident's right hand and ROM to the right arm. The resident grimaced as he attempted to straighten her right arm. He stated the resident needed a right elbow splint and a right hand splint. He conveyed the splint would reduce pain and allow staff to clean her hands and provide nail care. He recalled an elbow splint was recommended but stated she should had a hand splint as well. The Therapy Director explained when limbs were not being used, the muscles tighten and shorten causing a contracture. He clarified that a splint would help to prevent a contracture and did not say why resident #1 did not have one. On 7/27/22 at 11:17 AM, OT B recalled resident #1 was on caseload previously with ROM to bilateral upper extremities. He stated the goal was for resident to wear a right elbow splint and a right hand splint for 6-8 hours per day to prevent contractures. He could not recall if the splint was left for the resident. He validated in the absence of a hand splint, the expected nursing intervention was to use a towel roll. On 7/27/22 at 11:43 AM, the Therapy Director reviewed the Restorative Nursing Documentation Tool and acknowledged the form did not contain any splinting information. On 7/27/22 at 11:46 AM, Restorative Aide CNA C stated she was familiar with resident #1 and reported the resident was on restorative therapy 3 times a week for upper and lower ROM. She verbalized she was aware of her right hand contracture but did not have a splint program for her. Restorative Aide CNA C reviewed the restorative program for resident #1 and verified the program contained information for Passive and Active ROM but no information for splinting. On 7/27/22 at 12:00 PM, the Administrator brought a clear plastic bag that contained a blue hard plastic splint which extended from forearm to hand and stated it was in resident #1's upper drawer of the bedside table. The Administrator explained she asked the resident if she wanted to wear the splint and the resident declined. The Administrator was informed the drawers were searched by CNA A and there was no splint in any of the drawers or in the closet. On 7/27/22 at 12:06 PM, CNA A validated she searched all drawers in the dresser, bedside table and closet and did not see a splint. She informed the Administrator that surveyors were present when she searched the room and the splint was not in the drawer at that time. The Administrator said, I wonder who has been in that room since then. The Administrator was informed that the splint she held was not the type of splint that was recommended by therapy. Restorative Aide CNA C was present in the hallway and confirmed she had never seen that splint and did not recall the resident wearing a splint on either her elbow or her hand. CNA A confirmed that she had never seen the splint either. The Administrator could not explain where the splint came from or why the splint was not of the recommended type. On 7/27/22 at 2:11 PM, the Therapy Director stated OT B erroneously checked completion goal for resident's hand splint but not the elbow splint. The Therapy Director confirmed he was still unsure of what happened to the hand splint. The Therapy Director recalled his earlier assessment resident #1 and reiterated she would benefit from both a hand splint and elbow splint. On 7/27/22 at 2:29 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she served as the restorative nurse. She explained when therapy determined a resident had met goals and needed a maintenance plan, the therapist created a restorative plan and emailed it to the nursing team to implement. The DON acknowledged she did not have a plan for resident #1's discharge from therapy on 6/23/22. She verbalized her expectation if a resident had a contracture with no obvious treatment or device in place, the staff

member should report it to a floor nurse, to PT or to the DON. She conveyed she would expect staff to place a rolled washcloth if a resident did not have a hand splint or refused splint. The DON stated she reviewed the current restorative plan for resident #1 and noted, Obviously there is a break in the process since we missed the form from 6/23/22. She acknowledged the possibility of a decline for resident with a contracture that was not maintained.

On 7/27/22 at 10:52 AM, the Therapy Director explained resident #14 had been on case load but was not currently not being seen by therapy. He recalled she had been treated for contracture management and was supposed to wear multi-podus boots to prevent plantar flexion contractures and foot drop by keeping her feet in a neutral position. He noted he was not aware the boots were too big. On 7/27/22 at 10:56 AM, resident #14 was observed in a wheel chair next to her bed. The multi-podus boots were on the floor next to her recliner. The resident stated it had been about two years since she wore them. The Therapy Director checked both boots on the floor and noted they were both large size.
