5. A review of the policy titled Scabies Identification, Treatment, and Environmental Cleaning, revised on
08/21/23, showed the following: Diagnosis may be established by recovering the mite from its burrow and
identifying it microscopically. Failure to identify scrapings as positive does not necessarily exclude the
diagnosis. It is difficult to obtain a positive scraping because only one or two mites may cause multiple
lesions. Often, diagnosis is made from signs and symptoms, and treatment is followed without scrapings,
although scrapings are preferred. The facility will follow the primary physician's discretion on treatment and
management.
Resident #35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Anemia, Depression, and
Hypokalemia. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed that Resident #35 has a Brief
Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which is cognitively intact.
In an interview conducted on 12/05/23 at 1:10 AM with Resident #35, she stated that she first had
symptoms of itching and scratching, which started 6-8 months ago. The in-house Dermatologist treated her
for the first time when the initial symptoms began. She was given a white cream for 8-10 hours to be used
only once and was treated again in October of 2023 by the in-house Dermatologist, and the same
treatment was done earlier with the white cream. The symptoms never went away, and she only saw the
in-house Dermatologist twice in 6-8 months. She further said that she could not sleep at night and was
itching and scratching. She showed the Surveyor the bites all over her legs, back, and even the bottom of
her feet. The Surveyor asked Resident #35 if skin scraping had ever been done, and she said no.
In an interview conducted on 12/05/23 at 1:25 PM with Resident #35's husband, he stated that his wife has
been suffering from a rash all over her body for months and that he asked the Director of Nursing for an
outside Dermatologist to see his wife. The Director of Nursing told him that his wife needed to see another
dermatologist since the rash and the itching did not go away, but his wife did not see another
Dermatologist, and the issue has not been resolved.
In an interview conducted on 12/05/23 at 2:11 PM with the Director of Nursing, he stated that they decided
to move forward by looking for another in-house dermatologist and keeping the current one until they get
another dermatologist. They had some issues with the in-house Dermatologist, and this is why the Medical
Director stepped in and told the facility that he would see the residents who had skin issues.
A Progress note dated 05/02/23 showed that Resident #35 was informed that she was exposed to a
resident that had scabies and, therefore, she would be placed in isolation.
A review of the medical chart showed a prescription note dated 05/03/23, which was prescribed by the
in-house Dermatologist for Elimite (treatment cream for scabies) to be applied to the body and washed off
after 10 hours and repeated after five days. The Medication Administration Record showed that the cream
was applied once on Resident #35 but was not repeated after five days as prescribed by the in-house
Dermatologist. Further review did not show any follow-up notes by the in-house Dermatologist regarding
the continued symptoms of itching and scratching and treatments that Resident #35 had.
Continued electronic chart review showed that Resident #35's Primary Doctor ordered Elimite to the entire
body, which was dated 10/21/23, and was called again on 10/26/23. Another note by the Primary
Physicians, dated 11/29/23, showed that Resident #35 had a rash on the upper chest and back. He
prescribed Hydrocortisone Cream (general cream for itching) and Benadryl (treats pain and itching).

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to provide equipment assessed as needed by therapy for 1 of
3 sampled residents reviewed for falls (Resident #297).
The findings included:
Resident #297 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Stroke and Diabetes. Record
review revealed a comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] that documented the resident had severe
cognitive impairment and required substantial/maximal assistance with activities of daily living.
A review of Resident #297's record revealed a care plan for the resident, as at risk for falls, related to
episodes of incontinence, impaired mobility, and medication side effects. The resident was further care
planned for the need of assistance with activities of daily living care related to multiple factors including
right sided weakness and decreased mobility.
Record review revealed Resident #297 had a fall out of bed with injury on 10/18/23, which required
hospitalization.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/06/23 at 1:30 PM related to Resident
#297's family's request for bedrails. The DON stated the rehabilitation (rehab) would assess a resident for
the need of a side rail, and a physician order was needed for two side rails.
An interview was conducted with the Rehab Director on 12/07/23 at 10:30 AM. The Rehab Director stated
when a resident initially comes into the facility, they determine if a resident would benefit from a side rail
using the Restorative Bed Rail Observation form. If so, would communicate with maintenance using a
communication log kept in therapy. Maintenance would install the side rail.
A side-by-side review with the Rehab Director of the Restorative Bed Rail Observation form for Resident
#297 dated 09/20/23 revealed the resident could benefit from the use of right-side enabler (side rail) to
assist with functional mobility skills. An assessment of the resident post readmission dated 10/27/23
documented the same.
A side-by-side review of the maintenance communication log was conducted with the Rehab Director. The
maintenance log documented a request for a right-side rail dated 10/27/23, after Resident #297's
readmission to the facility post fall. The Rehab Director confirmed there was no communication of the
resident's need for a side rail documented in the maintenance communication log for the resident's initial
assessment dated [DATE]. The Rehab Director stated they may have given verbal instructions to
maintenance for Resident #297's initial request for side rail, as she believed the resident had a side rail. The
Director further stated that the resident would have been coded for having a side rail in the initial
comprehensive assessment, or the DON would know how to tell if Resident #297 had a side rail on the bed
as initially assessed.
An interview was conducted with the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator on 12/07/23 at 10:50 AM. The
MDS Coordinator stated he was the one responsible for Resident #297's comprehensive assessments. The
MDS Coordinator further stated side rails were not documented in the comprehensive assessments.

a resident would be documented as having a side rail in the comprehensive assessment, and rehab was
responsible for initiating, providing, and documenting side rails.
A subsequent interview was conducted with the Rehab Director in the presence of the DON. The Rehab
Director stated again they assess new residents for the need/benefit of side rails. Maintenance was

Director further confirmed Resident #297 did not have a request in the maintenance logbook for 09/23.
An interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director on 12/07/23 at 2:00 PM. The Maintenance
Director stated he gets requests from therapy for side rails by the maintenance log in therapy. Once he
provides the side rails, he writes done next to the request. The Maintenance Director further stated if a
verbal request was made, he would still write the resident's name and that it was done in the maintenance
log. If the request for side rails was not in the maintenance logbook, the resident did not receive side rails.

On 12/06/23 at 10:41 AM, perineal/foley catheter care observation for Resident #32 performed by Staff A,
CNA commenced. Observation revealed the resident's privacy (cubicle) curtains were not drawn; and blinds
were open during the catheter care. Observation revealed a large urinary drainage bag covered by a
privacy linen by the resident's left side of the bed. The bag contained approximately 300 cc of yellow urine.
Observation revealed Staff A performed hand washing, retrieved a basin with water and donned gloves.
Observation revealed Staff A, with one damped wash cloth, cleaned Resident #32's inguinal (between the
legs) left and right area with one stroke down from top to bottom with the same wash cloth. Further
observation revealed Staff A continued using the same wash cloth to clean the residents thighs and again
wiped the inguinal/peri areas with up and down strokes breaking the infection control measures.
Furthermore, observation revealed Staff A retrieved a clean wash cloth, pulled back the resident's foreskin,
cleaned the area and then with the same wash cloth and without using a different area of the cloth, cleaned
the catheter tubing straight down. Continuing observation revealed Staff A retrieved an alcohol pad and
cleaned the foley catheter tubing port and connected a foley leg bag around the residents leg.
During the observation, at 10:55 AM, the Maintenance Director knocked at the resident's door and without
waiting for an answer form Staff A, he opened the door. Resident #32 was exposed, privacy curtains were
not pulled, and he was covered with a sheet, privacy was not provided. Staff A was asked when she will do
the resident's bottom and stated she will do it in the shower.
At 11:01 AM, observation revealed Staff A, CNA assisted Resident #32 to the in room shower. The resident
foley catheter tubing was connected to a leg bag attached to his leg. Observation revealed that Staff A
disconnected the resident's foley leg bag and stated that she did not want the leg bag straps to get wet
because it can cause skin itching. Staff A proceeded to provide the resident with his shower. Staff A left
Resident #32's foley catheter disconnected and hanging down while he was sitting in a shower chair getting
a shower. The foley tubing was disconnected from the bag from 11:01 AM to 11:16 AM and was exposed to
potential infection. During the observation, Staff A stated that normally she pulls the privacy curtain but did
not because the surveyor was in the room. Staff A confirmed the Maintenance Director opened the door.
Staff A was apprised that Resident #32 was exposed to the Maintenance Director when he opened the
door, and the resident was uncovered and the privacy curtain was not drawn/closed. Staff A stated that for
pericare she used two wash cloths, one to clean the inguinal area, the legs and another cloth to do the
penis and the tubing.
On 12/06/23 at 11:34 AM, an interview was conducted with the Unit Manager and was apprised of the
peri/foley catheter care observation's findings. A side by side review of the facility's foley care procedure
was conducted with the Unit Manager.
On 12/07/23 at 1:02 PM, a joint interview was conducted with the Infection Preventionist/Staff Development
Educator and Staff A, CNA. Staff A stated that normally when a resident who has a foley catheter needs a

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to follow the Physician's tube feeding orders
for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for tube feeding (Resident #81).
The findings included:
A chart review showed that Resident #81 was readmitted on [DATE] with a history of Motor Vehicle
Accidents resulting in multiple fractures. Resident #81 was hospitalized for three months prior to her
transfer to this facility. The Order Summary Report showed the following: Regular diet, pureed texture, thin
consistency for the breakfast meal tray only, which was dated 11/15/23, Enteral feeding with Jevity 1.5 (tube
feeding formulary type) at 65 milliliters (ml) an hour for 20 hours to start at 10:00 AM and stopped at 6:00
AM which was dated 11/06/23.
A review of Resident #81 Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment dated [DATE] documented a
Brief Interview of the Mental Status (BIMS) score of 0, indicating that the resident had severe cognition
impairment. The assessment documented under Functional Status that the resident needed total
assistance from the staff to complete the activities of daily living.
In an observation conducted on 12/04/23 at 12:48 PM, Resident # 81 was in her room alone, in bed, sitting
in a 90-degree position, and eating a pureed diet. Further observation revealed that the tube feeding Jevity
1.5 was running at 65 ml while Resident #81 was eating her lunch tray.
In an observation conducted on 12/05/23 at 3:25 PM, Resident #81 was noted in her bed with the tube
feeding on hold. Resident #81's mother, who was at the bedside, stated that she paused the tube feeding to
give her daughter some juice. She further noted that Resident #81 was allowed to eat breakfast alone but
needed the Speech Therapist to be with her while she ate lunch.
In an observation conducted on 12/06/23 at 8:42 AM, Resident #81 was noted in her room with no tube
feeding running. At 8:50 AM, staff came into the room with the breakfast tray, which showed a meal ticket
for a Pureed diet. Continued observation at 9:10 AM showed that Resident #81 ate a few bites of her
breakfast tray.
On 12/06/23 at 10:00 AM, an observation showed Resident #81 in her bed with no tube feeding running.
On 12/06/23 at 11:30 AM, an observation showed Resident #81 in her bed with no tube feeding running.
An observation conducted on 12/06/23 at 1:03 showed that Resident #81 was noted in her room with the
tube feeding Jevity 1.5 running at 65 ml an hour. The tube feeding bottle showed that it was started on
12/06/23 at 12:20 PM. The tube feeding bottle was noted at the 1000 ml mark out of a 1000 ml capacity
bottle.
An interview was conducted on 12/06/23 at 1:10 PM with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse, who stated that
Resident #81 tolerates her tube feeding well and runs for about 20 hours daily with no issues. It may be

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

In an observation conducted on 12/06/23 at 6:30 PM, Resident #81 was noted in her room with the tube
feeding running at 65 ml an hour. The tube feeding bag showed that it was started on 12/06/23 at 12:20
PM. The closer review showed that the tube feeding was at the 850 ml mark out of a 1000 ml capacity
bottle. This showed that only 150 ml was delivered in 6 hours and not the 390 ml that should have been
administered according to Physicians' orders.
Residents Affected - Few
In an observation conducted on 12/07/23 at 8:50 AM, Resident #81 was noted in the room with her
breakfast tray. Resident #81's mother, who was also at the bedside, stated that her daughter eats about 50
to 80 percent of her breakfast meals and gets a mechanical soft diet consistency for lunch but only during
trials done with the Speech Therapist.
A progress note dated 11/15/23 revealed the following: The speech therapist (ST) recommended at this
time that the patient be at liberty for the pleasure of eating puree and thin liquids with the family. The mother
has been educated on safe swallow strategies and is able to reteach/return demo strategies when assisting
the patient. Resident #81 is not to receive meal trays from the kitchen and is on trials of mechanical soft
consistencies to continue with ST only during dysphagia treatment.
In an interview conducted on 12/07/23 at 10:38 AM, the full-time ST reported that when Resident #81 was
admitted , she was on tube feeding only. After doing swallow exercises and oral motor exercises, she could
manage her secretion and swallow on command. Resident #81 was then started on pureed food trials, and
a Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBS) was done on 11/13/23. According to the MBS results, Resident
#81 was placed on a mechanical soft diet for breakfast but tired towards the middle of the meal. The ST
decided to discontinue that order and place Resident #81 on pleasure foods like pudding, but it is not for
hydration or meeting any nutritional needs. The ST further stated that this past Monday, Resident #81 was
started on a breakfast meal of a pureed diet, and during ST treatments, she gets trials of mechanical soft
meals. When asked by the surveyor if it was okay for Resident #81 to eat her lunch while the tube feeding
was running, she said, It may be okay. The ST stated that she tries to do her trials of mechanical soft
consistency to not interfere with Resident #81's tube feeding scheduled times. When asked if she knew
Resident #81's scheduled tube feeding times, she did not know. The Speech Therapist reported that the
goal is to decrease tube feeding and slowly provide more meals by mouth.
A Dietary progress note dated 11/06/23 showed a slow progressive weight decline, and it was
recommended to increase the tube feeding to 65 ml an hour for 20 hours.
An interview was conducted on 12/07/23 at 11:53 AM with the facility's clinical dietitian, who stated that she
adjusted the tube feeding times to allow Resident #81 to be hungry enough to eat her breakfast meal. This
is why the tube feeding was changed to stop at 6:00 AM and to restart at 10:00 AM. Staff told her that
Resident #81 tolerates her pureed diet well but did not give her any specific percentage intake of the meals.
According to the Dietitian, she will only reduce the tube feeding rate if she has a more accurate percent
intake of Resident #81's meals and meets her nutritional needs by mouth to proceed further with making
the tube feeding changes.
An interview conducted on 12/07/23 at noon with Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistants, states that Resident
#81 only eats about 25% of her breakfast meals.
An interview conducted on 12/07/23 at 12:10 PM with Staff B, Certified Nursing Assistants, states that
Resident #81 only eats about 30% of her breakfast meals.
