Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure wheelchair anti-tippers were positioned correctly to prevent accidents for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for falls and accident hazards, of a total sample of 35 residents, (#44).
Findings: Resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, anxiety, and diabetes. Review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status evaluation was not done because the resident was rarely or never understood. The MDS assessment noted resident #44 required extensive assistance of one staff member for transfers and locomotion on the unit and used a wheelchair for mobility. On 10/04/21 at 3:34 PM, resident #44 was seated in his wheelchair in the third-floor common area. The back of the resident's wheelchair had anti-tippers that were not positioned correctly. The anti-tipper devices were positioned upwards, pointing towards the ceiling instead of downwards, towards the floor. Wheelchair anti-tippers keep a wheelchair from tipping over backwards and prevent users from having accidents and being injured by falling over backwards (retrieved on 10/19/21 from www.wheelchairparts.com). Further review of resident #44's medical record revealed there was no physician's order for the wheelchair anti-tippers nor were the anti-tippers addressed on the resident #44's Fall/Accident care plan. On 10/6/21 at 12:05 PM, resident #44 was seated in his wheelchair in the atrium. The wheelchair anti-tippers were still positioned incorrectly, pointing upwards towards the ceiling. On 10/07/21 at 11:01 AM, the resident was again seated in his wheelchair in the atrium, with the wheelchair anti-tippers still incorrectly positioned. On 10/07/21 at 12:54 PM, during an observation of resident #44's wheelchair with the Therapy Manager (TM), he validated the anti-tippers were not in the correct position. He stated the anti-tippers should point downward, toward the floor. The Therapy Manager looked around the atrium and acknowledged resident #44 was the only resident in the area whose wheelchair anti-tippers were positioned incorrectly. He did not explain if nursing staff were responsible for ensuring residents' safety devices were in the correct position, and stated he could not speak to that. He was not able to provide an explanation as to why resident #44's anti-tippers were not correctly placed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide dressing changes for a midline intravenous (IV) catheter according to current professional standards of practice, for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for IV catheters of a total sample of 35 residents, (#34).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings: Resident #34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including joint replacement for left hip fracture. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident was cognitively intact. Review of the physician orders reflected a midline catheter was inserted on 9/15/21.

A midline catheter may allow you to receive long-term intravenous (IV) medicine or treatments. (retrieved on 10/18/21 from www.drugs.com). A review of the Medication Administration Record showed the resident's midline IV dressing was marked with a check mark indicating the dressing was changed on 9/24/21 and 10/1/21. On 10/04/21 at 10:34 AM, during a joint observation of resident #34 with the 3rd floor Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), he validated the resident had a midline IV catheter inserted in his right upper arm. The ADON confirmed the transparent dressing at the site was dated 9/24/21 and was loosely secured with surgical tape. He acknowledged the dressing at the IV site should have been changed weekly to minimize infection, according to facility policy. The ADON stated resident #34's dressing should have been changed on 10/01/21 but it was not. Review of nursing progress notes revealed no documentation to show the resident's IV dressing change was done after 9/24/21. On 10/07/21 at 11:20 AM, the Infection Preventionist stated the clinical ADONs were responsible for checking all residents with IVs on their units. She explained a contracted IV specialty nurse from an outside company came to the facility to insert midlines. The Infection Preventionist stated facility nurses were responsible for obtaining and entering physician orders for IV flushes and weekly dressing changes. She stated orders would be transcribed to the medication and/or treatment administration records with specific days and shifts identified for each task. Review of the policy and procedure for Intravenous Therapy dated July 2020 revealed,6) IV dressing changes will be done every 7 days and [as needed] per the doctors' orders.10) IV documentation is recorded in the nurses' notes and or Medication Administration Record.
