She stated she had not seen a dentist and explained she had never been without teeth and really wanted to have the partial denture replaced. On 12/14/22 at 3:48 PM, resident #53 clarified it was the [NAME] Wing Unit Manager who told her the facility would pay to replace her partial denture. She noted she was unsure why it was taking so long to have the denture replaced. Resident #53 stated she had been a public speaker and appearance was very important to her. She expressed she feels terrible not having upper teeth and as a result lisped when she talked. She said she hated meeting new people because she felt like she had to explain why she did not have front teeth. On 12/14/22 at 2:01 PM, the Social Services Assistant (SSA) confirmed a grievance was filed June 15, 2022 for the missing partial denture. She stated she did not know what happened to resident #53's partial denture but a replacement was in the works. On 12/14/22 at 3:04 PM, the Social Services Director (SSD) stated when a resident reported lost items, the facility would first search for the item and if not found, the facility would replace the missing item. She clarified if a resident lost a denture and it was unable to be located, the resident would be placed on the dental list to be seen on the next visit. On 12/14/22 at 3:34 PM, the SSA provided a form which showed resident #53 was approved for a dental program on December 1, 2022. She explained the application took 54 days to get approved.

Review of resident #311's medical record revealed that he or his representative signed consent for Psychoactive Medication Ativan to be given BID (twice per day) for jitters and restlessness. The medication administration record (MAR) revealed the nurse gave Ativan per orders from 12/8/22 to 12/13/22 for symptoms of anxiety and alcohol withdrawal delirium. The IV orders were dated 12/7/22 for STAT (immediate) placement of IV for antibiotics Vancomycin and Zosyn for sepsis for 10 days. On 12/14/22 at 1:09 PM, the Resident Care Specialist (RCS) A said she was one of the nurses who was responsible for completing the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments as well as care plans. She explained the interim/baseline care plans were initiated on admission. She noted her supervisor, the MDS Coordinator attended the morning meetings where residents were reviewed and care plans were updated to reflect new orders. The RCS reviewed resident #311's care plans, and acknowledged there were no interim care plans for IV antibiotics or psychotropic medications. On 12/14/22 at 1:18 PM, during a telephone interview, the Lead RCS explained the admission nurse or unit manager were responsible to initiate or update the interim care plans since his comprehensive care plan was not due until 12/19/22.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident #311 was on psychotropic medication, Ativan since 12/6/22 for alcohol withdrawal and anxiety. She said, it was the UM's responsibility to ensure the interim/baseline care plan was completed. The Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) joined interview and reviewed the resident's medical record and verified he had psychotropic medications ordered since his admission on [DATE] and IV antibiotic ordered on 12/7/22, the day after admission. The ADON explained, nurses were responsible for completing the interim care plan for IV therapy and Social Services (SS) staff were responsible for initiating interim care plan for psychotropic drugs. The ADON explained, they should have initiated the care plan when the resident started IV antibiotic therapy and acknowledged there were no baseline care plans for IV antibiotic therapy or psychotropic medications until it was brought to their attention by the surveyor. On 12/14/22 at 2:09 PM the SS Assistant (SSA) said she usually visited new residents within 72 hours of admission and it was the responsibility of the SS Director (SSD) to initiate the baseline/interim care plan for a resident on psychotropic medications. The SSA reflected and said, she did not know why the baseline care plan was not initiated for resident #311. On 12/14/22 at 2:54 PM the SSD said she was new and learning how to do the care plans. She added that when she worked at a prior facility, MDS staff did all the care plans. She was not aware she was responsible to initiate interim care plans for residents on psychotropic medications. The SSD said it was important that a resident with a history of alcohol abuse to have current plan of care to reflect his history and current interventions, but did not understand why she would need to do them. On 12/15/22 at 11:16 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said she thought interim care plans only needed to include falls, activities of daily living, skin, pain, and nutrition needs. She added she was not aware the interim care plans should also reflect IV antibiotic therapy and psychotropic medications. She said she thought those could wait until the comprehensive care plan was completed. The DON stated, I am not good at care plans and don't know when they are supposed to be initiated. The facility's Baseline (Interim/Initial/IPOC) Plan of Care, revised 2/18/19 read, The facility must develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and person centered care of the resident that meet professional standards of quality care .A comprehensive care plan can be developed in place of the Baseline Care Plan .including, but not limited to .physician orders .The nurse will consider the following areas when developing individualized care plan for each resident .Update the Interim (Initial) Plan of Care on and ongoing basis, as necessary, until the Comprehensive Plan of Care is finalized .

On 12/14/22 at 3:34 PM, the SSA provided paperwork which revealed resident #53 was scheduled to be seen by dental services 10/19/22. She stated the resident was out of the facility at the time of the visit and was not seen. The SSA was unable to explain why the dental referral was scheduled in October when the facility became aware of the missing partial denture in June. A review of resident #53's medical record revealed no documentation to indicate why a referral did not occur within 3 days of the facility becoming aware of the missing partial denture as per facility policy. The record also did not contain any documentation of steps taken to ensure resident #53 could eat and drink adequately while awaiting dental services. The facility's policy and procedure for Dental Services revised 8/29/17 read, The facility will refer residents with lost or damaged dentures for dental services within three days of notification. If the referral cannot occur within three days, the facility will provide documentation of measures implemented to ensure the resident's hydration and nutrition status are maintained. The document identified the social services designee was responsible for coordinating dental services in the facility.
