Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all skin conditions were
appropriately addressed for two (Residents #25, #26) of 36 sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. Observations of Resident #25 on 08/15/22 at 10:27 a.m. revealed the resident had an undated dressing
to her right outer ankle. An interview with Resident #25 at this time, revealed she had issues with her ankle
and the wound care nurse came one time per week and changed her dressing and forgot to date it as she
did not have a pen handy.
Review of the resident's record revealed she had a current order dated 3/29/22 for the following,
(AC-Wound) Wound Care prevention Right outer ankle Skilled nursing to apply skin prep cover with 3 x 3
foam dressing change weekly and PRN soiling every day shift every 7 days for wound prevention
An interview on 08/17/22 at 11:51 a.m. with Staff A, Wound Care, Registered Nurse (RN), revealed the
resident's dressing order was preventative as the resident had an arterial wound on the right ankle that kept
opening up, but was now closed. She reported the resident also had hardware in that same foot that was
close to the ankle. She reported the resident had orders for weekly dressing changes and the protocol was
every dressing was to be dated and signed with the nurse's initial at the time of the dressing change. Staff
A reported that nurses should have been looking at the dressing daily to ensure that it is clean and in place,
and that she was not sure why no one noticed that the dressing was not signed or dated. She reported she
believed the dressing was changed per the order and per documentation on the MAR but could not confirm
as the dressing was not dated.
An interview on 08/17/22 at 2:23 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility did not have a
current procedure that indicated the wound dressings should be dated and labeled with the nurses' initials.
She reported dating and initialing the dressing was a nursing standard that all nurses should know and
follow.
2. An observation was conducted on 8/15/22 at 12:16 p.m., of Resident #26 attempting to transfer self
without staff. On 8/15/22 at 12:19 p.m., staff responded to the sounding of the pressure alarm on the
resident's bed and assisted the resident into a wheelchair. An observation was made with Staff G,
Registered Nurse of a foam dressing on the right ankle of Resident #26. The dressing had a nickel-sized
area of brownish discoloration and was undated. Staff G confirmed the dressing was undated.
A review of Resident #26's August Medication and Treatment Administration Records indicated at the time
of the observation there was no order for wound care to the resident's right ankle.

A skin observation evaluation was completed for Resident #26 at 9:02 p.m. on 8/8/22, which indicated there
was no new skin conditions. The evaluation identified an open wound to the outer right ankle.
On 8/17/22 at 11:42 a.m., the facility's Wound Care Nurse (WCN) stated she was aware of the dressing
that was observed on Resident #26's right ankle. She stated the facility's protocol was to date the dressing
(as to when it was put on) and the weekly skin assessments were to be accurate. The WCN stated she had
interviewed the nurse that completed the skin evaluation on 8/8/22 and the nurse reported she did not
visualize the right ankle wound as there was a dressing on it. The WCN reported the protocol for a new skin
issue was to determine the type of wound, notify the physician, and obtain appropriate (wound care) orders.
She stated she followed up on the skin issue the next time she was on duty. The WCN nurse reported she
had interviewed the nurses and all had denied putting the dressing on Resident #26. The WCN confirmed
the dressing observed on 8/15/22 could have been placed prior to the 8/8/22 as no other nurse had
claimed to have put the dressing on. She stated the wound was 100% granulation, approximate
nickel-sized, with light serosanguinous drainage and slightly macerated edges.
On 8/17/22 at 2:34 p.m., the DON stated her expectation was when a skin concern was identified, the
doctor was notified, treatment orders were obtained, families were notified, and documentation was
completed.
The DON reported, on 8/17/22 at 2:59 p.m., she reviewed the note completed on 8/8/22 and had contacted
the nurse. The DON stated the nurse (who had completed the skin evaluation) had informed her she had
not looked at Resident #26's (ankle) wound. The DON stated the nurse could not work until she had
completed a competency with the DON.
The policy - Skin & Wound Care, created 1/1/2007 and reviewed on 8/22/2017 and 3/2021, identified that
The facility will promote dignity and enhance the resident's quality of life and quality of care by maintaining
or restoring resident's skin integrity to the extent possible. The facility will evaluate risk and implement
preventative measures that meet the standards of care and in accordance with state and federal
regulations, trough initial and ongoing evaluation of resident's risk for skin breakdown and development of
pressure injuries. The procedure portion of the policy identified the following:
- Nurses will complete weekly - Use the PointClickCare (PCC) weekly Skin Observation UDA.
- Provide treatments to existing wounds and newly identified wounds that follow the current standards of
practice for wound care and will:
-- Wound/Treatment Nurse/designee will conduct wound rounds weekly and monitor wound healing in
accordance with state and federal regulations.
-- The staff nurse will describe and measure the wound, notify physician, obtain orders, and notify resident
and resident representative when a skin alteration is identified. The Wound Nurse/designee will evaluate all
new wounds and for those evaluated to be pressure injuries will measure, stage, and update treatment
orders if necessary.
-- Keep resident and resident representative updated on the condition of the wound.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain physician's orders for, assess the use
of, and develop care plans for padded side rails which were attached to the beds of four (Residents #8,
#31, #76, and #81) of 36 sampled residents .
Findings included:
1. Resident #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's Disease,
muscle weakness, and unspecified psychosis.
On 08/15/2022 at 11:15 a.m., Resident #8 was observed lying in her bed, which was low to the floor, with
the head of the bed up at approximately a 45 degree angle, with padded bilateral side rails alongside the
elevated head of the bed. An arm chair had been placed tight against the side of the bed, on the resident's
right side and bilateral floor mats were observed on either side of the bed.
During that observation, Resident #8 was continuously yelling out, with an occasional understandable word
such as No, No, No. The resident had her eyes closed and the resident's aide, Staff I, commented the
resident's vision was not good and she usually kept her eyes closed. Staff I confirmed the resident often
yelled out. At times she was taken out of bed and placed into a high backed chair, but she did better when
she remained in bed. The aide confirmed the padded side rails were for the resident to hold on to and
confirmed the resident was able to move around in the bed on her own.
Upon admission, a Side Rails Grab Bar Analysis was conducted, dated 02/16/2022. The resident was
described as ambulatory, without the ability to transfer independently, without a history of falls in the prior
three months, without the use of side rails/grab bars in the prior three months, and no history of attempting
to climb over the rails/bars. The resident was described as having no involuntary movements, but having
expressed the desire to have the side rails/grab bars raised when in bed. The resident's reason for agreeing
to the side rails/grab bars was for bed mobility, turning, positioning and support. The analysis concluded
that based on the evaluation the side rails/grab bars were indicated for the purpose of bed mobility, turning,
positioning and support. The decision was made to use two quarter rails as they would most benefit the
resident. The Analysis described the benefit to the resident by utilizing the side rails as enabling bed
mobility, turning, positioning and support. The analysis confirmed that all risks associated with the use of
side rails were present for this resident. The Rationale for the use of the side rails repeated bed mobility,
turning, positioning and support. Question #14 asked what other less restrictive alternatives had been
attempted and what was the resident's response. The answer was n/a. The answer was no to the question
whether the side rails would prevent the resident from any activity she would be able to perform without the
rails. There was no reference to the padding on the side rails.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment conducted upon admission dated 02/22/2022, and the most
recent quarterly MDS dated [DATE], did not show either improvement or decline in the resident's Activities
of Daily Living. The resident required extensive to total assistance by two staff for bed mobility and transfer,
and in both assessments the use of side rails was not identified. The resident's Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score was a 5 at admission and a 3 on the quarterly, both indicating severe cognitive
impairment.

Care plans were reviewed for Resident #8 and noted to not include a care plan for the use of padded side
rails, used for mobility or to assist in the prevention of falls. It was also noted that there was not a
Physician's order for the use of side rails or grab bars.
An interview was conducted with the Unit Manager on 08/18/2022 beginning at 10:30 a.m. She confirmed
the Side Rail/Grab Bar assessment had been completed upon admission on [DATE] for Resident # 8 but
the resident had not been reassessed for the use of side rails. She confirmed there was no physician's
order nor care plan for the use of the side rails/grab bars but there should have been both an order from the
physician and a care plan developed.
At 1:00 p.m. on 08/18/2022 the Unit Manager reported upon further review and discussion with other facility
staff, the side rails/grab bars for Resident #8 were attached to the bed in error and they had been removed.
She reported that it was a mistake to have the bars on the resident's bed as she would not have benefited
from their use.
2. Resident #31 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included unspecified mood
disorder, unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbances, unspecified psychosis and having difficulty
walking. Observation of the resident on 08/15/2022 at 11:00 a.m., revealed an elderly male sitting back
against a raised head of the bed, almost upright, dozing. Padded side rails were observed along side the
raised head of the bed. The side rail pad to the left of the resident was observed to be ripped along the top
seam and was scratchy to the touch. A private sitter was in a chair next to the bed and she reported that
she noticed the padding on the side rail and how it was ripped and was a potential skin tear hazard. She
reported that staff had never commented on it to her. She reported that the resident did not reach out to the
side rails and she wasn't sure why they were attached to the bed.
Upon readmission, on 03/09/2022, a Side Rails Grab Bar Analysis was conducted for Resident #31. It
documented the resident was not ambulatory, not able to transfer independently, had no history of falls in
the past three months, but the resident had attempted to climb over or around the rails. The Analysis
indicated the resident was able to use the side rail/grab bars for bed mobility, positioning, turning or
support, and specifically for bed mobility. The Analysis indicated the resident had not expressed a desire to
have the side rails/grab bars raised while in bed. The evaluation indicated the use of two quarter side
rails/grab bars for this resident, for the purpose of turning and repositioning. The risks associated with the
use of the side rails/grab bars included skin tears, bruises, and /or lacerations. The benefit of the use of the
side rails/grab bars to the resident was for turning and repositioning. Question #14 asked what other less
restrictive alternatives were attempted. The answer was n/a. The side rails/grab bars were identified as not
preventing the resident from any activity he would be able to perform without the rails.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment completed on 03/16/2022, for his readmission on [DATE],
identified the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) as 8, indicating moderately impaired
cognition. The resident's bed mobility and transfer ability were identified as requiring extensive to total
assist by two staff. The MDS did not include side rails were in use. A quarterly MDS was completed on
06/09/2022 which identified the resident's BIMS as 2, indicating severely impaired cognition. His bed
mobility and transfer abilities were assessed as the same as in March and the assessment did not include
the use of side rails.
The resident's care plans were reviewed and noted for not including a care plan for side rails or grab bars. A
relevant care plan was reviewed which identified the resident at risk for pressure

Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate
was less than 5.00%. Twenty-five medication administration opportunities were observed, and two errors
were identified for two (Residents #32 and #26) of six residents observed. These errors constituted a 8.00%
medication error rate.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
On 8/16/22 at 4:18 p.m., an observation of medication administration with Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN), was conducted with Resident #32. The Staff E was observed dispensing the following medications:
- Eliquis 2.5 milligram (mg) tablet
- Gabapentin 400 mg capsule
- Hydralazine 25 mg tablet
- Gabapentin 400 mg capsule
Staff E dispensed the medications by keeping the blister packaging in the drawer of the medication cart,
popping the medication into her gloved hand then placing it into the medication cup. Staff E stated she had
seen others take the packaging out of the cart (demonstrated) but it did not feel right to her. Staff E
confirmed 4 tablets/capsules had been dispensed.
Staff E entered the resident room and handed Resident #32 the medication cup. The resident asked if it
contained Potassium and Staff E stated that it did. When the resident questioned it again, Staff E left the
room and reviewed the medications (left on the med cart) and confirmed the medication cup contained two
capsules of Gabapentin and not Potassium. Staff E returned to the room and asked the resident for the
medication, the resident informed the nurse the medications had been taken. Staff E returned to the
medication cart and dispensed one 10 milliequivalent tablet of Potassium ER which was then administered
to the resident.
A review of the August Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #32 indicated that the
following order:
- Gabapentin capsule 400 mg - Give 1 capsule by mouth three times a day related to other intervertebral
disc degeneration lumbar region. Start Date 10/6/21 and discontinued 8/17/22 at 10:38 a.m.

the resident to the room. Resident #26 refused the two remaining (after Divalproex was removed from the
medication cup) medications and Staff F was able to administer the Novolog.

placed her on speaker. Staff F reported she had dispensed the medication, left the nursing station and after
being asked by this writer to check the Divalproex order, she saw the order was for 1.5 tablets of
Divalproex, she took the medication (Divalproex) out of the cup, and attempted to administer the other
medications to Resident #26, which were refused. The DON informed Staff F she could not document
Divalproex (Depakote) was refused if she had taken the medication out of the med cup and it was not
offered. Staff F stated she probably signed it out with the other medications. The DON ended the telephone
call and left the interview.
