Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to accurately assess 2 of 33 sampled residents.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was inaccurate related to indwelling urinary catheter use for
Resident #79 and related to the discharge status for Resident #141.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
1. Review of the record revealed Resident #79 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a return to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of the admission progress note on 03/15/24 at 8:48 AM documented the resident
was readmitted to the facility with a Foley catheter (indwelling urinary catheter) in place. Additional progress
notes, to include those on 03/25/24, 04/01/24, and 04/03/24, all referred to the use of the indwelling urinary
catheter.
An observation on 04/15/24 at 12:32 PM revealed Resident #79 in bed. An indwelling urinary catheter bag
was noted to bedside drainage.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments dated 03/21/24 lacked the documented
use of the indwelling urinary catheter.
During an interview on 04/18/24 at 11:00 AM, Staff D, MDS Coordinator, explained her process for the
completion of the admission MDS was mainly by review of the record and interview of the resident for the
pain assessment. The MDS Coordinator agreed with the inaccurate admission MDS for Resident #79, and
stated she most likely missed it because of the lack of an order.
2. On 04/15/24, a closed record review for hospitalization was conducted for Resident #141. The discharge
MDS dated [DATE] revealed the resident was coded as going to a short term general hospital but had
actually been discharged home. A review of a social service progress note dated 01/25/24 revealed the
resident was discharged with belongings and home health care had been arranged for him.
An interview was conducted with Staff D, MDS coordinator, on 04/17/24 at 3:55 PM. Staff D was asked to
review the discharge MDS for Resident #141 then read the social service progress note. Staff D stated the
discharge assessment was coded wrong since it should have been coded as going home and not
hospitalized . She stated it would be modified.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for 1 of 1
sampled resident reviewed with an indwelling urinary catheter (Resident #79).
The findings included:
1. Review of the record revealed Resident #79 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a return to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of the admission progress note on 03/15/24 at 8:48 AM documented the resident
was readmitted to the facility with a Foley (indwelling urinary catheter) in place. Additional progress notes,
to include those on 03/25/24, 04/01/24, and 04/03/24, all referred to the use of the indwelling urinary
catheter.
An observation on 04/15/24 at 12:32 PM revealed Resident #79 in bed. An indwelling urinary catheter bag
was noted to bedside drainage.
Review of the current care plans lacked any care plans related to the use of the indwelling urinary catheter.
During an interview on 04/18/24 at 11:00 AM, Staff D, Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator, agreed with
the lack of a care plan for the indwelling catheter for Resident #79, and stated she most likely just missed it
as there was no other documentaiton.

Provide timely, quality laboratory services/tests to meet the needs of residents.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure ordered labs were completed timely for 1 of 5
sampled residents, Resident #194.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the record revealed Resident #194 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], after a hospitalization
for a hip replacement. Review of the record revealed a physician order dated 04/05/24, for a Complete
Blood Count (CBC) and a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) to be drawn on 04/06/24.
Review of the record revealed a CBC was collected on 04/08/24. The record lacked a BMP on or about
04/06/24.
Review of the progress notes lacked any documentation related to the failure to obtain the CBC on
04/06/24 as ordered, the reason for the late collection on 04/08/24, and or the failure to obtain the BMP.
An additional order dated 04/16/24 at 8: 23 AM ordered a CBC, CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel),
and BMP for a follow up. The record revealed intravenous fluids were ordered on 04/17/24 at 4:27 PM for
dehydration, and a progress note revealed the fluids were initiated on 04/18/24 at 12:35 AM.
During an interview and side-by-side record review on 04/18/24 at 10:34 AM, the Unit Manager explained
the process for obtaining physician ordered labs was to enter the order into the electronic record so that it
will be generated for the night shift to fill out the requisition for the laboratory technician. When asked about
the failure to obtain the BMP for Resident #194 on 04/06/24 as per physician order, the Unit Manager was
unaware.
The Unit Manager obtained information directly from the laboratory's website that documented on 04/08/24
at 11:31 AM, they had rejected the order because they did not receive a specimen in accordance with the
testing ordered. Additional details were documented as, Incorrectly ordered a CMP but testing would not be
able to be completed due to only receiving a lavender vial. Note a lavender vial is used by the laboratory for
a CBC but is not able to be used for a CMP.
During an interview on 04/18/24 at 12:35 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) verbalized the same process
for ordering labs and ensuring the requisition was in the binder. The DON stated they review the labs during
the morning meetings. When asked how or why the facility did not catch the missing BMP order, the DON
had no answer. A side-by-side review of the CBC that was completed on 04/08/24 revealed it had been
reviewed by the Unit Manager.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate and complete resident
records for 4 of 33 sampled residents, as evidenced by: the record for Resident #79 lacked an order for the
indwelling urinary catheter; the record for Resident #36 lacked documentation related to a change in a code
status; the record for Resident #57 had inaccurate documentation related to a dressing change; and the
record for Resident #92 lacked documentation related to blood sugar monitoring.
The findings included:
1. Review of the record revealed Resident #79 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a return to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of the admission progress note on [DATE] at 8:48 AM documented the resident
was readmitted to the facility with a Foley catheter (indwelling urinary catheter) in place. Additional progress
notes, to include those on [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE], all referred to the use of the indwelling urinary
catheter.
An observation on [DATE] at 12:32 PM revealed Resident #79 in bed. An indwelling urinary catheter bag
was noted to bedside drainage.
Review of all orders on [DATE] and [DATE], both current and discontinued, lacked the documented use of
the indwelling urinary catheter.
Review of the record on [DATE] revealed an order as of [DATE] at 4:11 PM for the indwelling urinary
catheter. As per the Unit Manager, the nursing staff informed her today that there was no order for the
urinary catheter. The Unit Manager agreed the record had lacked the order for the past month, which led to
the inaccurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment and lack of associated care plan.
4. Record review revealed Resident #92 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Diabetes
Mellitus 2. Review of physician orders included an order for Humulin R to be administered per sliding scale,
with a note that if blood glucose reading, which was to be taken before meals and at bedtime, was greater
than 401, 22 units of insulin was to be administered and the physician or nurse practitioner was to be
notified.
Review of the [DATE] electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) for Resident #92 showed no
blood sugar results recorded for [DATE] at 6:30 AM or [DATE] at 9:00 PM. There was no nurse
documentation as to why the blood sugar results were not recorded, nor were there any notes to document
if any insulin was given, and if not, why the insulin was not provided.
On [DATE] at 9:16 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was informed of the missing 'nurse initials' and
documentation regarding Resident #92's sliding scale insulin. She stated she would look into the concern
and report back after her investigation. On [DATE] at approximately 2:00 PM, the DON stated that she had
spoken with the resident's nurse, and the nurse had made a late entry addressing the missing
documentation.
2. Resident #36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Cerebral Infarction
without residual deficits, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Pressure Ulcer of sacral region. Resident #36's Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) documented a score of 11 on the Minimum Data Set

(MDS) admission assessment with an assessment reference date of [DATE], indicating the resident had
mild cognitive impairment. On admission to the facility, the resident's code status was full code. On [DATE],
a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) was signed by the resident and the Medical Director. On [DATE], the DNR was
rescinded by resident request and a CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) order was signed by the
Medical Director.
Residents Affected - Few
Upon review of the electronic health record (EHR), the surveyor could not find any documentation of a
conversation with the resident about the change in code status. There was no documented conversation
that the resident understood what CPR was or what DNR was.
An interview was conducted with the Social Service Director (SSD) on [DATE] at 10:45 AM. The SSD was
asked about the change in code status for Resident #36 and if there was any documentation regarding the
change. On [DATE] at 11:10 AM, the SSD produced a Partners in Care POC / Individualized Plan of Care
(IPOC) summary that stated on [DATE] she met with the resident to discuss Advance Directives. The
document documented: 'The resident expressed wishes of changing from DNR to CPR [full code]. The
Medical Director would be notified and update records. Hospice to be updated.' The note did not indicate
who explained DNR to the resident or if it had been explained to the resident. The SSD stated a nurse was
with her at the time of the visit.
An interview was conducted with Staff C (Licensed Practical Nurse / Unit Manager) on [DATE] at 11:13 AM.
Staff C revealed when the patient was first admitted he was asked what his wishes were and he wanted to
be DNR. He was his own responsible party. He said he wanted to live when interviewed on [DATE] and he
wanted to change from DNR to CPR and the family also wanted him to have CPR. She stated she was in
the room when the SSD discussed the Advance Directives. Staff C stated she fully explained what CPR
meant and the resident said that he wanted to live.
The findings were discussed with the Administrator on [DATE] at 11:30 AM that these code status notes
should have been in the EHR. The Administrator agreed with this surveyor.
