with Resident #103 on 01/25/23 at 08:45 a.m., the resident stated he did not know his catheter was visible
to passersby in the hallway. The resident stated it was no one's business to see his catheter. Resident #103
said, I'd like it covered.
A review of Resident #103's electronic medical record (MAR) showed the resident was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include: neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, encounter of
artificial openings of urinary tract and malignant neoplasm of bladder.

Manager. Staff C made the observation of Resident #103 from the hallway outside the resident's door. Staff
C stated, that is not good, we should ensure a more dignified living. Staff C stated the resident's catheter
should not be exposed to the public. She stated they should probably move it to the other side of the bed for
privacy. Staff C stated the privacy flap should be pulled over to cover the output. Staff C stated they would
switch out the catheter to one that provided privacy. She stated she had spoken to the certified nurse's aide
(CNAs) and nurses. She stated in-servicing staff was a never-ending job. Staff C said, we owe it our
residents. Staff C confirmed resident's catheters should not be exposed to the public.
On 01/25/23 at 12:40 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). She stated
Staff C had notified her there was a catheter that was exposed. The DON stated it was their goal to ensure
resident's privacy was respected. She stated catheters should not be within sight of anyone walking down
the hall. The DON confirmed a privacy bag should be provided for all residents with catheters.

of psychosis, diabetes mellitus, and major depressive disorder. Resident #53 had a diagnosis of
unspecified dementia added to the medical record on 11/6/2019.
A review of Resident #63's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) dated 8/6/2013
revealed no qualifying mental health diagnosis and no PASARR Level II was required.
A review of Resident #63's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an Assessment
Reference Date (ARD) of 12/27/2022 revealed, under Section I: Active Diagnoses, diagnoses of
Non-Alzheimer's Dementia, anxiety disorder, depression, and psychotic disorder.
Review of Resident #63's medical record revealed the resident was not assessed for PASARR Level II.
6. A review of the admission Record revealed Resident #94 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of

A review of Resident #94's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed a diagnosis of
psychotic disorder and the resident was not assessed for PASARR Level II.
Review of a facility policy titled, Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR), revised
10/06/22, showed the facility will ensure that potential admissions are screened for possible serious Mental
Disorders (MD) or Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and related conditions. This initial prescreening is referred to
as PASARR level I and is completed prior to admission to a nursing facility. A negative level I screen
permits admission to proceed and ends the PASARR process unless a possible serious mental disorder or
intellectual disability arises later. A positive level I screen necessities an in-depth evaluation of the individual
by the state's designated authority known as PASARR level II which must be conducted prior to admission
to a nursing facility. Under procedure: (1.) Ensure level I PASARR screening has been completed on
potential admissions prior to admission. (5.) When a level II PASARR screening is warranted, it must be
obtained as well as determination letter prior to admission. The level II PASARR cannot be conducted by
the nursing facility. (13.) Any resident with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual
disability or a related condition must be referred by the facility to the appropriate state designated mental
health or intellectual disability authority for review. (14.) Referral for level II resident review evaluation is
required for individuals previously identified by PASARR to have a mental disorder, intellectual disability, or
a related condition who experiences significant change.
Based on record review, staff interviews, and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to complete the
Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) Level II upon a new qualifying mental health
diagnosis for six (Residents #40, #78, #95, #55, #63 and #94) of seven residents

would notify the Director of Nursing (DON). The SSD reviewed the PASARRs for the sampled residents and
said, diagnosis should be checked. I probably missed them. If a resident obtained a new diagnosis, a new
PASARR should be obtained. The SSD stated she would discuss the findings with the DON.
On 01/25/23 at 1:09 p.m., an interview was conducted with the DON. She stated PASARRs were completed
prior to admission. She stated in the morning meeting all the departments review the new admission file.

content was complete, and to ensure accuracy of the content. The DON stated the SSD was reviewing
resident files on an-ongoing basis, for completeness and accuracy. She stated following survey findings,
they discussed the PASARRs and noted some were missing documented diagnoses, or they were not
checked. She stated they would be reviewing in the morning meeting going forward to make sure current
PASARRs were accurate and to see if we need to adjust. The DON said, if a resident had a new diagnosis,
it should be reflected. We should submit a new PASARR for each new diagnosis. The clinical team would be
reviewing this on an-going basis. The DON confirmed if a resident had a new significant mental health
change, a level II PASARR should be submitted for review. DON stated they will be resubmitting those
today for review.

On 01/24/23 at 11:17 a.m. an interview was conducted with Resident #49. The resident stated her arm was
hurting and no one had looked at it. The resident re-stated she was hurt when she was being transported to
therapy. Resident #49 stated a nurse had put a dressing on the arm and no one had looked at it since then.
The dressings were noted on the resident's arm, undated and with blood spotting visible to the surface.
Review of the Physician orders dated 01/25/23 showed the resident did not have any orders to treat the
skin tears and bruising. The review showed orders were initiated on 01/25/23 after this surveyor notified the
facility of concerns. The new orders showed to clean right arm with normal saline, pat dry, and apply clean
border dressing, leave in place for two days then remove and leave open to air.
Review of a Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #49 showed the resident was not
receiving any treatment for the skin tears and bruising.
On 01/25/23 at 8:45 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Unit
Manager and Resident #49. Staff C observed the resident and stated she did not know why the resident
had the undated dressings on her right arm. Staff C stated she was not aware of any incidents that may
have caused the resident's injuries. She stated either way the dressings should be dated. Whoever put
them on should have said something. Resident #49 stated the dressings had been on her arm for 2 to 3
weeks from an incident that happened when she was being assisted to therapy. The resident stated her
arm got caught on the door and was bleeding from the injury. Resident #49 stated a nurse cleaned her up
and put the bandage on.
On 01/25/23 at 9:58 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff C. Staff C stated the resident did not have
any orders to treat the bruising. Staff C stated the nurse who was notified of the injury should have reported
and contacted the physician to obtain orders. Staff C stated if the resident had orders in place, the wound
care nurse would have looked at her and treated the skin tears. Staff C removed the dressing on the lower
right arm revealing a dry scabbed area with dried blood. Staff C attempted to pull the second dressing off
the upper right arm. Staff C stated she would have wound care assess her. Staff C said, It looks like she is
still bleeding. Staff C stated she would contact the physician to obtain orders to treat.
On 01/25/23 at 10:08 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff C who reviewed the resident's orders and
confirmed the resident did not have any orders to treat the skin tears. She stated the nurses should always
obtain physician orders prior to treating. She stated an incident report should have been completed
detailing the incident. Staff C confirmed the resident was still bruised and bleeding. Staff stated she will
conduct an evaluation and follow-up with orders to treat.
On 01/25/23 at 11:30 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON
stated she just became aware the resident had an incident during therapy a few weeks ago. She stated she
just spoke to the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) and notified her if there was ever an injury incident in her
department, she needed to submit a report and notify administration. The DON stated the DOR notified a
nurse who put a dressing on the resident. She did not remember who it was. The DON stated the
expectation was to assess the resident, obtain orders to treat if needed, and to report an injury incident .
She stated the incident should have been documented and wound care should have been looking at her.
The DON stated they were initiating an investigation. The DON confirmed the dressings should be dated.
The DON stated anyone, a nurse or a certified nurses' aide (CNA) should have noted the bleeding dressing
and done something about it. She stated they had educated all nurses

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure behavioral and side effect monitoring related to
the use of psychotropic medication was completed for one (Resident #32) of five residents sampled for
unnecessary medication use.
Findings included:
A review of Resident #32's medical record revealed Resident #32 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses of dementia, anxiety disorder, and mood disorder.
A review of Resident #32's physician's orders revealed an order, dated 1/18/2023 for Lorazepam 0.5
milligrams (mg) by mouth twice a day for anxiety and every 24 hours as needed for anxiety. Resident #32's
physician's orders did not reveal orders for monitoring of behaviors or side effects related to use of
Lorazepam.
An interview was conducted on 1/25/2023 at 12:10 p.m. with Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff
E, LPN stated Resident #32 was prescribed Lorazepam both as needed and routinely and residents
receiving psychotropic medications were monitored for any behavioral changes and side effects of the

#32 did not have orders for monitoring of behaviors or side effects related to use of Lorazepam. Staff E,
LPN stated Resident #32 should have an order for behavioral and side effect monitoring related to use of
Lorazepam and the nurse who put the medication order in the electronic medical record should also put the
orders in for monitoring.
An interview was conducted on 1/25/2023 at 1:20 p.m. with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON stated behavioral monitoring related to use of psychotropic medications should be conducted to
observe for any type of behavioral symptoms the resident may have, which would be documented in the
resident's medical record every shift. The residents using psychotropic medications should also have an
order in place for monitoring of side effects related to the specific class of medication being used, which
was recorded in the resident's medical record every shift. The DON stated the orders for behavioral
monitoring and side effect monitoring should be in place at the same time the medication was ordered.
A telephone interview was attempted on 1/26/2023 at 11:08 a.m. with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist. A
voicemail message was left for a return call, but the call was not returned.
A review of the facility policy titled Psychotropic Medication Use, last revised on 10/24/2022, revealed under
the section titled Procedure psychotropic medications to treat behaviors will be used appropriately to
address specific underlying medical or psychiatric causes of behavioral symptoms. The policy also revealed
facility staff should monitor the resident's behavior using a behavioral monitoring chart or behavioral
assessment record for residents receiving psychotropic medications. Facility staff should monitor behavioral
triggers, episodes, and symptoms and should document the number and/or intensity of symptoms and the
resident's response to staff interventions.
