PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, staff interviews, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident in a long term care nursing facility, who was identified with a MD/ID (Mental Disorder/Intellectual Disability) and/or other related conditions was re-evaluated to determine if specialized care and services were required, in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs, for one resident (Resident #29) in a total sample of 20.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include: On 04/09/24 at 10:45 AM, a record review revealed that Resident #29 had a Level 1 PASRR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) that indicated she had a serious MI (Mental Illness) and that a Level 2 PASRR evaluation was indicated. The PASRR was signed on 6/10/2020 from an acute-care hospital. There was no Level 2 evaluation available in the electronic medical record (EMR) or in the resident's paper chart. On 04/10/24 at 1:55 PM, an interview was conducted with Social Services Director (SSD) B, who stated she had been employed at the facility since 01/09/2024. She was asked what the facility's process was for identifying residents with a possible MD/ID or related condition prior to admission to the facility. SSD B stated, Admissions receives the PASRR prior to the resident coming into the facility. The PASRR is uploaded into [the EMR] under the miscellaneous tab. The interdisciplinary team (IDT), including the Director of Nursing (DON), Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), SSD, Administrator, and Therapy, reviews the PASRR to make sure the resident is appropriate for admission. When she was asked how the facility identified residents with newly evident or possible serious MD/ID or a related condition after admission to the facilitym SSD B replied, The staff observe the residents for any changes in mental status, behaviors, or depression. I am not qualified to complete a PASRR screening, but we have [physician's name], who is employed here at the facility and is qualified to do the Level 1 PASRR screening. When she was asked who was responsible for making the referral when a Level 2 PASRR was triggered, SSD B stated, I can make the referral or [physician's name] can make the referral. A review was conducted with SSD B of Resident #29's Level 1 PASRR screening in the EMR. It indicated the resident had a serious mental Illness and individual may not be admitted to an Nursing Facility. SSD B was asked who made the decision to re-admit the resident to the facility, in spite of the indication on the Level 1 PASRR. SSD B stated, It was the IDT's decision. When asked whether Resident #29's Level 1 PASRR should have triggered a Level 2 PASRR referral, SSD B stated, In my opinion, a Level 2 PASRR should have been triggered for this resident. When she was asked to explain why the referral was not made, she replied, To be honest with you, I can't answer that question. I don't know why. A record review revealed that Resident #29 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was

(Photographic evidence obtained) On 04/10/24 at 12:22 PM, an interview was conducted with Registered Nurse A, who reported the CNAs (certified nursing assistants) were primarily responsible for assisting residents with ADL (activities of daily living) care, but it is everyone's responsibility to see that they are taken care of. She stated the residents had their hair washed, were shaven, and received nail care on the days they received showers or bed baths. When she was asked who provided nail care, she replied, The CNAs give nail care on the resident's shower days; the activities staff does the nail polish; and the CNAs cut the fingernails unless the resident is diabetic. She further stated the nurses cut/trimmed the fingernails for diabetic residents, and the podiatrist took care of trimming toenails. RN A was accompanied to Resident #25's room. The resident stated, [Employee name] came this morning and asked me about a shave, but I can shave myself. Resident #25 had a long mustache that had grown past his bottom lip. He stated, She asked me if I wanted my fingernails cut and I said yes. She said she would come back later on and cut them, but if you want to cut them now let's go ahead and get it over with. RN A was asked if the resident was receiving anticoagulant/antiplatelet medication, and she stated yes. She was asked if she thought Resident #25 was in need of nailcare due to the implications of side effects of antiplatelet therapy and she stated, Yes he does need some nail care, especially on his left hand. A record review revealed that Resident #25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including heart failure, chronic pulmonary edema, respiratory failure, cerebral infarction (stroke), anemia, chronic kidney disease, and adult failure to thrive.

He required supervision or touching assistance with transfers, partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene, and partial/moderate assistance with toileting. There were no behaviors identified and the resident participated in the assessment. A review of the physician's orders revealed the resident was receiving Clopidogrel Bisulfate (Plavix antiplatelet - keeps blood platelets from attaching to one another and making clots) 75 mg (milligrams) by mouth daily.
