**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and records review, the facility failed to ensure call lights were within reach for 3 of
25 sample residents (Resident #1, Resident #17 and Resident #22).The findings included:1. On 09/08/2025
at 10:48 AM, it was observed that a call light in the resident's room was attached to the back of Resident
#22's bed's headboard. The observation prompted an interview with Resident #22 who reported through
gestural confirmation, because of his tracheostomy, that he wanted to use the call light, but he could not
reach it. Resident #22 affirmatively nodded, it was not the first time this situation occurred, when asked if
that was the first time it had happened. To ensure that Resident #22 could use his hands, the Assistant
Nurse Manager was immediately called to the room and was asked to hand the call light to Resident #22
and to have him press on it to activate it. Resident #22 successfully activated the call light.Resident #22
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was diagnosed with: Anoxic Brain Damage, Not Elsewhere
Classified; Quadriplegia; Tracheostomy Status.Section GG of the MDS dated [DATE] documented Resident
#22 had no impairment in range of motion for both upper and lower extremities. Section C was not
assessed. Review of the Care Plan documented Resident #22 was at risk for falls. As preventive measures
the CP outlined that staff would minimize risk of minor injury through the next review date. Also, the facility
will make sure the resident's call light is within reach and will encourage the resident to use it for assistance
as needed. At about 3:45 PM, on 9/10/2025, Staff N (registered nurse) was asked to come to the room to
verify the position of the call light. Staff N acknowledged that the call light should not have been hanging by
the bedside. She said the call light was not where it was supposed to be. Staff N also added that Resident
#22 was totally dependent. Staff N said that Resident #22 could only use his call light, when it is reachable.
Resident #22 could not roll from side to side. Therefore Resident #22's needs had to be anticipated. Staff N
also said, they checked on Resident #22 every two hours. Staff N alleged that she saw Resident #22 about
20 minutes prior to the interview with her. Staff concluded when the call light is not within reach Resident
#22 asked for it.2. On 09/09/2025 at 9:42 AM, an observation conducted in the resident's room revealed
Resident #17's call light was on the floor. The call light was not within reach. The Resident said
occasionally, when she requested her call light, they did not give it to her. During the interview, it was noted
that Resident #17 could not see anything at all.During a follow-up visit to the Resident's room on
09/10/2025 at 3:45 PM, Resident #17's call light was again found on the floor. The resident was in bed
sleeping.Resident #17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #17's diagnoses included
Atherosclerosis; Mild Cognitive Impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology; Schizophrenia, Unspecified;
Legal Blindness; Muscle Weakness (Generalized). The minimum data set (MDS) dated [DATE], section C
revealed a score of 12/15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS). Section GG0115 of the MDS
titled Functional Limitation in Range of Motion documented Resident #17 had No upper extremities

observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to attain weekly weights and identify significant
weight loss in a timely manner for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #55). The findings included:A review
of the facility's policy titled Weighing the Resident, revised on 10/04/2021, showed the following: When
there is a significant variance from the previous recorded weight, the scale should be rebalanced and the
resident reweighted, and a licensed nurse should validate. It further showed to record the weight and alert
the nurse to any significant change. A chart review revealed Resident #55 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses of Anemia, Dementia, and Dysphagia. The annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated
[DATE] showed Resident #55 with a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, which is low to
moderate cognitive impairment. In an observation conducted on 09/08/2025 at 12:13 PM in the main dining
area, Resident #55 was eating her lunch meal. Further observation showed that she ate above 75% of her
meal.A review of the weight history for Resident #55 showed the following:07/07/2025, weighing 162
pounds.08/05/2025 with a weight of 153 pounds.08/11/2025, weighing 150 pounds.08/11/2025, with a
weight of 167 pounds, which was mismarked.09/05/2025 with a weight of 145.8 pounds.The above shows
that Resident #55 experienced a significant weight loss of 5.5% in one month. The above shows that
Resident #55 experienced a significant weight loss of 10% in approximately 2 months.The nutrition care
plan revealed that Resident #55 was at risk for malnutrition related to advanced age and medical
conditions. The resident will maintain adequate nutritional status as evidenced by maintaining weight, with
no signs and symptoms of malnutrition, and consuming at least 75% of her meals. Monitor/record/report
any significant weight loss: >5% in 1 month, >7.5% in 3 months, and >10% in 6 months.A review of the
Nutrition assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #55 had a significant weight loss-a current body
weight of 153 pounds, with a usual body weight of 160 to 165 pounds. To begin weekly weights for
monitoring, and to start Med Pass (nutritional supplement) once a day, providing an additional 240 calories
and 10 grams of protein.A follow-up nutrition note dated 08/12/25 revealed Resident #55 was on a weekly
weight regimen due to significant weight loss, and the current body weight was noted at 167 pounds. In this
note, the facility's Dietitian pointed out that the weight of 153 pounds on 08/05/2025 was erroneous and to
continue weekly weight with Med Pass once a day. In this note, the Dietitian did not request a reweight to
check the validity of the weight of 167 pounds and assumed the weight of 153 pounds was not
correct.Further review of the weights for Resident #55 showed that no weekly weights were completed from
08/11/25 to 09/05/2025.A review of the Dietary progress note dated 09/09/2025 showed Resident #55 has
a significant unplanned weight loss with suboptimal meal intake. Recommend starting Med Pass two times
a day to provide an extra 480 calories and 20 grams of protein. It was again recommended to begin weekly
weights for weight monitoring. In this note, The Dietitian reported that Resident #55 was tolerating her diet
well and accepted the nutritional supplement well in the past. In an interview conducted on 09/10/25 at 9:43
AM with the facility's Dietitian, he stated that he puts the weekly weights in an internal sheet that gets
adjusted periodically. This sheet is then given to the Director of Nursing (DON), and the nursing team takes
the weights, and the weights are recorded in the electronic system. For any missing weekly weights, he will
ask the nursing team. He further acknowledged that Resident #55 had a significant weight loss and was not
sure as to why they did not have weekly weights in the system. According to the Dietitian, he assumed that
the weight of 167 pounds was accurate for Resident #55 and that the weight of 153 pounds could not have
been correct. Since Resident #55 was on weekly weights, he could see any weight loss trend if it
happened.In an interview conducted on 09/10/25, at 10:15 AM with Staff A, a Certified Nursing

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to follow the professional standards of
tracheostomy care and management for 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident # 22). The findings included:A
record review of the facility's policy titled, Tracheostomy Care, with a revision date of 08/2013, documented
the following:Assess respiratory distress.a. Measure resident's oxygen saturation with pulse oximeter.b.
Listen to lung sounds with stethoscope.c. Observe for asymmetrical chest expansion.A record review
revealed Resident #22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Anoxic Brain
Damage, Candidiasis, Quadriplegia and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia and Hypercapnia.An
electronic review of recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] under Section C, revealed
that the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was disabled.A tracheostomy care observation was
conducted on [DATE] at 10:10 AM with Staff I, Registered Nurse (RN) and Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN).Both Staff donned on personal protective equipment (PPE) gown and gloves and performed hand
hygiene either with hand sanitizer and with soap and water. Staff I, RN stated that the tracheostomy
supplies she will be using are not expired. She added she would be using these supplies and dressings,
sterile saline plastic containers, sterile T- drain sponges, inner tracheostomy cannula, and tracheostomy
care kit. Both Staff had to be reminded to oxygenate the resident before the tracheostomy care. Staff did
not apply the oximeter until they were reminded. Staff I, RN stated the oxygen saturation was at 95 %, 5
minutes before the tracheostomy care. Staff did not assess Resident #22's respiratory status by listening to
lung sounds and did not observe for chest expansion. Staff did not set up supplies on the sterile field, Both
Staff used clean technique in opening supplies like gauze, normal saline and tracheostomy care kit.Staff I,
RN picked up the sterile gloves from the tracheostomy kit and donned them. She put a protective chuck
over Resident #22's chest and put a T-drain gauze onto resident's neck. She changed the tracheostomy
collar and washed her hands. Staff I, RN put on regular gloves and stated she would change the inner
cannula. With regular clean gloves, she picked up a square box from the tracheostomy care kit and asked
Staff J, LPN to pour normal saline solution into the box.She then placed the box with normal saline solution
on top of the table (not a sterile field). Staff J, LPN opened the inner cannula box and put it on the table. The
flap of the box went back to its closing position, indicating the sterility of the inner cannula was not
maintained. Staff J, LPN did not keep the flap open for Staff I to pick it up using aseptic technique. Staff I,
RN picked up the inner cannula using clean gloves (not sterile gloves). She then inserted the inner cannula
into the tracheostomy site.Staff I, RN opened the suction tubing kit using clean gloves and picked up the
sterile suction tubing. She dipped the tip of the suction tubing into the box with normal saline. She was
asked if she will need to use sterile gloves.Staff I, RN opened another package of suction tubing on top of
resident's abdomen. The suction kit came with only one sterile glove, so she asked Staff J, LPN to give her
another kit. Staff I, RN opened another suction kit on top of resident's abdomen. She had a hard time
donning the sterile gloves stating they are too small. The resident had a big cough, and productive
light-yellow colored secretions came out and down the gauze pad.Staff I, RN inserted the suction tip inside
the inner cannula tube using her right hand (she used the normal saline solution which was opened onto
unsterile field). She stated she would keep the right hand sterile, and the left hand clean. There were more
secretions that came out and Staff I, RN used the suction tip to suck the outside sections but inserted the
suction tip inside the tracheotomy tube again. She was reminded not to do that. Staff J, LPN was reminded
to oxygenate the resident. Staff I was reminded to check the oxygen saturation.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility also failed to follow a physician order for a seizure
medication and failed to follow the professional standards of nursing practice related to the rights of
medication administration: the right time for 1 of 25 sampled residents (Resident # 26). The findings
included: A review of the facility's policy titled, Oral Administration of Medication, with a revision date of
08/15/19, documented to review Physician's order (1).According to National Institute of Health, Nurses have
a unique role and responsibility in medication administration, in that they are frequently the final person to
check to see that the medication is correctly prescribed and dispensed before administration. In upholding
patient safety, the ‘five R's' of medication administration are followed.A guiding principle for one of the five
rights is of the right time. The right time is ensuring that medications should be prescribed as closely to the
time as possible, and nurses should not deviate from this time by more than half an hour to avoid
consequences such as altering bioavailability or other chemical mechanisms.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560654/Based on multiple clinical studies, including those funded
by the National Institutes of Health, levetiracetam (Keppra) and lacosamide (Vimpat) have shown
comparable efficacy for treating focal-onset seizures. Key differences lie in their side effect profiles,
mechanisms of action, and controlled substance status. Levetiracetam is not a controlled substance while
Lacosamide is a schedule V controlled substance indicating a potential for misuse and dependence. It can
also cause abnormal heart rhythms. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40119876/1) A record review
documented Resident #26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Seizure, and
Cerebral Infarction due to unspecified Occlusion or Stenosis of the Right Anterior Cerebral Artery.An
electronic review of the recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], under Section C of the
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), revealed a score of 13, indicating Resident #26 had no cognitive
impairment.An additional review revealed that on 09/10/25 at 11:07 AM, a physician order for Lacosamide
oral tablet 50 mg by mouth, two times a day for seizures. An additional review of physician order dated
01/24/25 revealed Lacosamide oral tablet 50 mg by mouth, two times a day for seizures.During a
medication administration observation with Staff G, RN on 09/09/25 at 9:44 AM, she stated that she would
administer Lacosamide 50 mg for seizure. She added it is scheduled twice daily.A further record review of a
paper documentation called Medication Monitoring Control Record (MMCR) for Lacosamide administration
during the month of September, it revealed that it was administered with only a 4-hour interval on the
following dates: On 09/03/25, 1 (one) pill was administered at 12:35 PM with the second pill administered at
4:32 PM, both by Staff K, LPN, indicating only a 4-hour interval between administrations.On 09/06/25, 1 pill
was administered at11:03 AM, and the second pill at 4:00 PM, indicating only a 5-hour interval between
administrations, with both pills administered by Staff I, RN.In a telephone interview conducted with Staff K,
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 09/10/25 at 10:55 AM, she stated that she knew this resident, and is
familiar with the anti-seizure medication Lacosamide. When she was asked what time she usually gives a
medication that is scheduled twice daily, she responded, I work from 7 AM to 7 PM, so I would give 1 (one)
in the morning, and the next dose would be given by the next shift nurses at night. She added that a
medication scheduled to be given twice daily must have an 8-to-12-hour time interval. When she was asked
about her process of documenting in the Medication Monitoring Control Record (MMCR), she responded
that once she took a pill from the locked medication box, she would sign it out from the MMCR and would
immediately administer it to the resident. When she was asked if she verifies the physician order for any
anti-seizure medications, she responded, I check the orders, When she was asked why

room with Staff G, Registered Nurse (RN) on 09/09/25 at 10:06 AM, it revealed a big black unzipped purse
sitting on the counter next to bags of residents' antibiotics. When Staff G, RN was asked why the big black
purse was kept inside a medication storage room, she stated that facility staff leave personal items like
lunch boxes, and purses inside the medication storage room. She added that staff do not have an area
where they can keep their personal items because the facility is very small. The only place where they can
