Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 1) Record review for Resident #87 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included the following: Tracheostomy Status, Dependence on Supplemental Oxygen, and Malignant Neoplasm of Pharynx. Residents Affected - Few Review of Section C of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #87 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 14 out of 15, which indicated that he was cognitively intact. Review of the Physician's Orders showed that Resident #87 had an order dated 01/14/25 for Trach care: Cleanse tracheostomy site with normal saline, pat dry. Change inner cannula. Cover with drain sponge daily and as needed, during the day shift. Review of the February and March 2025 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) documented that Resident #87 received tracheostomy care as per the physician's orders indicated above. Additionally, a review of the March 2025 TAR audit report revealed Resident #87's Trach care was documented as administered on 03/01/25 at 7:53 AM, 03/02/25 at 8:08 AM, 03/03/25 at 8:00 AM and on 03/05/25 at 11:41 AM.

A review of the Care Plan dated 02/12/25 documented that Resident #87 was noted to refuse trach care, with interventions to encourage participation/interaction by the resident as possible during care and give clear explanations of all care activities. Record review of the nursing progress notes from 02/12/25 to 03/05/25 revealed no documentation of Resident #87 refusing trach care or have been observed performing self-tracheostomy care. In addition, there was no record of an assessment conducted by the facility to assure Resident #87 can self-perform trach care safely and aseptically. During the initial tour conducted on 03/03/25 at 12:07 PM, Resident #87 was observed with a tracheostomy and was walking with his walker in the hallway towards the nurses' station; however, the tracheostomy was not covered. Resident #87 stated he was waiting for the nurse to do his breathing treatment. On 03/03/25 at 3:15 PM, Resident #87 was again observed in the hallway near his room standing with his walker and was holding a clean Trach collar. He then stated he was waiting for the nurse to help him change the collar. He was then asked who cleans the Trach, he pointed to himself.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few stated he has had the Trach for 6 years and has learned how to change the canula and clean the trach prior to coming to the facility; however, he was not educated on how to clean it in this facility, and there has not been a nurse present when he does the Trach care. During an interview conducted on 03/05/25 at 2:55 PM with Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who stated she has worked at the facility for 23 years. She acknowledged that she has not performed Trach care for Resident #87 today; however, he often lets her know when he wants his trach collar changed. She stated that she only changes the collar and cleans the area around the trach and Resident #87 usually cleans the inner canula and sometimes he is seen with the canula in his hand. Staff H also stated that Resident #87 does not often require suction and therefore, she does not do it. At this time, this surveyor mentioned to Staff H that Resident #87 has been waiting for her to change his collar and will observe her provide Trach care to Resident #87. While waiting for Staff H to provide Trach care, Resident #87 was observed in the hallway with his walker and was coughing. He walked into his room, grabbed a towel, walked back into the hallway and placed the towel over the Trach to catch the phlegm as he was trying to bring it up. Then, Resident #87 was asked if the nurse assist him to remove the phlegm using the suction machine, he stated no and that he knows how to use the suction machine and sometimes does use it to clear out the phlegm. At 3:15 PM, Resident #87 was still waiting for Staff H to provide trach care. This surveyor returned to the nurses' station to locate Staff H. There were a few staff members at the nurses' station including the nurse supervisor and the Staff Development Coordinator (SDC). The nurse supervisor asked the surveyor if the incoming nurse could provide the trach care since it was change of shifts. The nurse supervisor, the SDC, and the Director of Nursing (DON) were informed that Staff H had documented in Resident #87's TAR that she had already provided Trach care this morning, however she did not perform the care. A tracheostomy care observation was conducted on 03/05/25 at 3:24 PM with Staff H for Resident #87. Staff H gathered the supplies from the medication storage room in a zippered bag. Staff H was joined by the SDC for assistance. Staff H introduced herself to Resident #87 and advised that she was going to perform tracheostomy care. The resident's room door was closed for privacy. Staff H and the SDC washed their hands, donned on gown, mask and gloves. Then, the bedside table was cleaned and waited to dry then, the protector was placed on table, and the supplies were laid out on the table which included saline, a trach care kit, and a trach collar. Staff H removed the collar from the package and adjusted the straps and then placed it back in the package. Resident #87 was asked to lay down and the soiled collar was removed. At this time, Resident #87 had a cough with phlegm, and he used a towel to clean up the phlegm from the trach opening (Neither nurse asked the resident if he wanted to be suctioned). Then Staff H removed her gloves and washed her hands. She returned to the bedside table and opened the trach care kit and removed the sterile gloves, however, did not put the sterile gloves on, instead picked up the saline container and reached inside of the trach care kit without donning the sterile gloves. At this point, the SDC told her to get another trach kit from the drawer next to the resident's bed. Without performing hand hygiene, Staff H opened the second trach care kit and dumped all its contents on the bedside table including the sterile gloves package which ended up under the sterile gauze. She was about to move aside the sterile supplies to get to the gloves when the SDC mentioned to her to get another kit. Staff H got another kit from the drawer and without performing hand hygiene grabbed the sterile gloves package and fumbled with the sterile gloves and was unable to put them on and touched all the sterile gloves with her ungloved right hand. At this point, the SDC asked if it was okay to take over the procedure. The surveyor agreed.

The SDC left the room for about 7-8 minutes during this time Resident #87 was sitting at the edge off his bed waiting. The SDC returned to Resident #87's room with a few trach care kits, saline and clean scissors. The SDC followed sterile procedure, the soiled disposable inner cannula was removed and replaced with a new clean cannula. Residents Affected - Few On 03/06/25 at 10:40 AM, an interview was conducted with the SDC. She stated that currently in the facility there is only one resident that has a Trach. She acknowledged that Staff H was educated on 11/09/23 and on 12/07/23 after last year's re-certification survey, in which Staff H had difficulty performing Trach care during that survey. She also stated that competencies are provided if a resident is admitted to the facility with a Trach or as needed. If there is no resident admitted to the facility with a Trach throughout the year, then the education is done annually since there is no need to provide the trach care. In addition, she acknowledged that all nurses performed the Trach care procedure 100% after last year's survey and therefore there was no need to conduct competencies throughout the year.

When asked regarding any of her PTSD training and in-service, she responded, There were no in services regarding PTSD. When asked how she documents PTSD in PCC, she responded , I never had a problem with the resident. He never reacted or received a trigger from him during my shift. When asked again about the Resident#103's PTSD trigger, she responded The trigger is when he has a problem. When asked on how to document PTSD trigger in PCC, she responded There is no documentation of PTSD in progress notes, but she is able to check the care plan for PTSD. In an interview conducted on 03/04/25 at 4:10 PM with Staff I, Social Worker (SW), who stated she has been working in the facility for almost 2 years, was asked regarding the process of admitting a PTSD resident, responded she will initiate a trauma care plan and make a referral to both a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist, which would be documented as consultation orders by Staff Nurses. When asked if the PTSD triggers are documented in the resident's care plan, she responded, We initiate a Trauma- Informed care plan, talk to resident and ask what the triggers are. When asked about common resident triggers, she emphasized, The triggers sometimes feel like a little depressed. She added that she will document the PTSD, speak with the resident, and identify the resident's PTSD triggers. When asked how she would coordinate and communicate the care of PTSD diagnosed residents with Nurses, she responded, Most of the time there is no trigger, so I based my care plan based on the PTSD diagnosis. She added that if there is no trigger, there is nothing to report to the Nurses. The Nurses can continue providing care for the resident like they normally would care for other residents, and because the PTSD diagnosed resident is seen by both the Psychiatrist and Psychologist, the medications might be controlling the PTSD. In another interview with Resident #103 with Staff I, SW on 03/04/25 04:36 PM, was asked about his triggers, responded, She knows that my triggers are loud noises. Staff I, SW did not say a word and just looked at the resident on 03/04/25 at 4:39 PM. In an interview with Staff Q, SW on 03/06/25 10:50 AM, who has been working in the facility for 1.5 years, was asked if the facility has a PTSD resident, responded, There is one. When asked if this resident told her about his triggers, she responded, I had few and short encounters with the resident. During those encounters, he never mentioned his triggers, and he is being followed by a Psychologist.
