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 address services related to Activities of Daily Living (ADL) related to the grooming of a resident's fingernails; as evidenced by failure to ensure the fingernails were trimmed and cleaned for 1 (Resident # 137) of 1 resident reviewed. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: In an observation conducted on 10/17/22 at 9:30 AM, Resident #137 was noted in bed. Closer observation showed long, thick, sharp-edged, dirty fingernails with some dark, black matter noted at the rim of the nail base/bed. In this observation, Resident #137 was asked if she wanted her fingernails trimmed and she said yes. (Photographic evidence obtained). A chart review showed that Resident #137 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Dysphagia, Dementia and Anxiety. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed that Resident #137 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 out of 15 which indicate the resident is cognitively intact. The Care Plan dated 10/17/22 showed that Resident #137 is at risk for deterioration in ADL function and medical stability secondary generalized weakness, and anxiety. It further showed that Resident #137 will maintain current level of ADL functional status according to her abilities through the review date. Check nail length and clean and/or trim on bath day as necessary and report any changes to the nurse. In an observation conducted on 10/18/22 at 8:10 AM Resident #137 was noted in bed. Closer observation showed long, thick, sharp-edged, dirty fingernails with some dark, black matter noted at the rim of the nail base/bed. In an interview conducted on 10/19/22 at 9:00 AM, Staff C, a Certified Nursing Assistant, stated that the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift usually cut and trim the resident's fingernails and sometimes activities will do it. Staff C further stated that she looks at resident's fingernails daily and if she feels that they need to be trimmed or cut she will go ahead and do it. Staff C was then asked why she did not cut and trim Resident #137 fingernails. Staff C stated that Resident #137 is fidgety about her fingernails and does not like them cut. During this interview, Staff C was asked to accompany the surveyor to Resident #137's room. Resident #137 was asked if she would like to have her fingernails cut and trimmed by Staff C and she responded yes. A review of the facility's policy titled Fingernails, Care of revised in February 2022 showed that following: The purposes of this procedure are to clean the nail bed, to keep nails trimmed, and to prevent infections. Proper nail care can aid in the prevention of skin problems around the nail bed. Trimmed and smooth nails prevent the resident from accidentally scratching and injuring his or her skin. Watch for and report any changes in the color of the skin around the nail bed, blueness of the nails, any signs of poor circulation, cracking of the skin between the toes, any swelling, bleeding. During an interview conducted on 10/20/22 at 11:00 AM, the facility's Director of Nursing was informed of the findings.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation and interviews the facility failed to perform appropriate nutrition monitoring on a resident who was admitted with a stage two pressure ulcer and poor oral intake and failed to provide the appropriate assistance during dining for 1 of 8 sampled residents reviewed for nutritional risk (Residents #490). Residents Affected - Few The findings included: A review of the facility's Nutritional Assessment, revised on 1/18/2022, documented that the nutritional assessment will be a systematic, multidisciplinary process that includes gathering and interpreting data and using that data to help define meaningful interventions for the resident at risk for or with impaired nutritional. A chart review showed that resident #490 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of anorexia, dysphagia, and dementia. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #490 has a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 04 out of 15 , which indicate the resident has severe cognitive impairment. Section G of the MDS showed that Resident #490 needed extensive assistance with one person assist for eating. In an observation conducted on 10/17/22 at 12:28 PM, Resident #490 received her lunch tray in the room and ate her lunch meal without assistance from staff. Continued observation showed staff assisting Resident #490's roommate with lunch meal. At 12:50 PM, Resident #490's lunch tray was taken out of the room and was noted to be 95% untouched. In an observation conducted on 10/18/22 at 7:40 AM, Resident #490 received her breakfast tray in the room and ate her meal without assistance from staff. She ate 100% of her oatmeal and a few spoons of her eggs. At 8:00 AM, staff came in the room and encouraged Resident #490 to finish her breakfast tray. At 8:07 AM the tray was taken out of the room by staff. The weights documented in the electronic chart showed the following weights recorded for Resident #490: admission weight on 09/05/22 at 124 pounds, on 09/13/22 at 122 pounds, on 09/19/22 at 119 pounds and on 10/07/22 at 117 pounds. The Nutrition Full Assessment conducted on 09/06/22 which was 4 days after Resident #490's admission showed that Resident #490 was admitted with a stage 2 pressure ulcer to the sacrum, recent hospitalization, and was placed under isolation for COVID-19 infection. In this note, the facility's Registered Dietitian assessed her caloric daily needs at 1680 calories and her protein daily needs between 67 grams to 78 grams a day. A review of the facility's Menu Nutritional Analysis revealed that the Week 1 menu cycle provides a weekly average of 84.6 grams of protein, Week 2 provides a weekly average of 80.9 grams of protein, and Week 3 provides a weekly average of 69.6 grams of protein. Week 4 provides a weekly average of 89.3 grams of protein.

Resident #490 consumed 52% to 61% of her estimated protein needs that the Clinical Dietitian recommended in the Nutrition Full Assessment. The Malnutrition Risk Assessment completed on 09/06/22 by the facility's Clinician Dietitian, showed that Resident #490 was at risk for malnutrition upon admission. The Nutrition/Dietary Note completed on 09/13/22, 11 days after Resident #490's admission, showed that she was at high risk for weight loss and decline in nutritional parameters due to COVID-19 infection. It further showed that Resident #490 was seen by the Wound Care doctor and that she had nutritional support in place for wound healing. In this note, it was recommended to start Resident #490 on a bottle of Glucerna® (nutritional supplement) once a day which was created on 09/06/22. The Clinical Dietitian noted that Resident #490 was with acute kidney failure and that she would monitor and intervene as needed. The Nutrition/Dietary Note completed on 09/20/22, 18 days after Resident #490's admission, showed that she continued with poor PO (oral/by mouth) intake and that the Wound Care Doctor saw her for the s`stage 2 sacrum wound. On this note, the Clinical Dietitian recommended Megace (appetite stimulant) but did not increase the Glucerna® to more times a day and did not recommend any extra protein for wound healing. The Nutrition/Dietary Note completed on 09/21/22, 19 days after Resident #490's admission, showed that a Prealbumin lab (the lab that shows visceral protein status) was taken. A follow-up Nutrition note dated 09/26/22 showed that Megace (for appetite stimulant) was started on 09/26/22, )24 days after Resident #490's admission) and Pro-Stat Liquid (protein supplement for wound healing), started on 09/26/22 (24 days after Resident #490's admission). A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) intake for the Glucerna®once a day showed that from 09/06/22 to 09/30/22, Resident #490 consumed the following: 3 cans at 75% intake, 1 can at 50% intake, and 10 cans at 100% intake. This showed that the Resident drank an average of 64% of the bottle daily. A continued review of the MAR for October 2022 showed that the Clinical Dietitian recommended increasing the Glucerna® supplement to twice a day which was only done on 10/09/22, (37 days after admission). The Care plan dated 09/15/22 showed that Resident #490 is at nutritional risk with 7#/5.6% significant weight loss x 30 days and poor PO intake. It further showed to monitor intake at all meals, offer alternate choices as needed, and alert the Doctor and Dietitian to any decline in intake. The Wound Care note dated 09/06/22 showed that Resident #490 had a Sacrum stage 2 pressure injury that measures 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.2 centimeters (cm).

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record reviews, observations and interviews the facility failed to perform adequate tracheostomy care for one (Resident #78) out of one resident residing in the facility with tracheostomy. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the facility policy titled Tracheostomy Care, revision date January 2022, revealed the following: In the Procedure Guidelines, which spells out each step for the staff to follow during tracheostomy care, this policy specifies the staff is supposed to wash their hands and don (put on) non-sterile exam gloves and remove oxygen tubing from on top of the tracheostomy and remove the old tracheostomy dressings and the disposable inner cannula (the tube that the resident breaths through). The staff is then supposed to remove the non-sterile exam gloves, wash hands, and then open the tracheostomy cleaning kit. While maintaining a sterile field, the staff should set up the supplies which are included in the kit (hydrogen peroxide, normal saline, gauze pads) along with a new tracheostomy inner cannula, new neck ties (a fabric device used to keep the tracheostomy in proper placement in the resident's neck), and a new fenestrated gauze pad (a special gauze pad which is split down the middle to fit around the outside of the tracheostomy stoma to help keep the area clean). After the supplies are set up, the staff is then supposed to don sterile gloves. Using these sterile gloves, the staff should place the new inner cannula into the tracheostomy. After this is in place, the staff should remove the sterile gloves and don non-sterile exam gloves to clean, dry, and disinfect the stoma. After this is complete, the staff should replace the neck ties, place the new fenestrated gauze pad around the insertion site, and replace the oxygen tubing onto the tracheostomy. The staff is then done with tracheostomy care and can remove their gloves and wash their hands. Records reviewed revealed Resident #78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #78 medical history include but not limited to significant brain damage caused by lack of oxygen, seizures, and respiratory failure. An Annual Minimum Data Set was completed on 09/07/22. The Brief Interview of Mental Status score was 99, which indicates Resident #78 had severe cognitive dysfunction. Under Section O (for Special Treatments) it is documented that Resident #78 required tracheostomy care, suctioning, and oxygen. Review of Resident #78's Care Plans, revealed care plans in place regarding Resident #78 having a tracheostomy due to chronic respiratory failure and impaired breathing mechanics. Review of Resident #78's physician orders, revealed orders in place for tracheostomy care to be done each shift and as needed and for suctioning of the tracheostomy to be done as needed for phlegm. During an observation and interview tracheostomy care was conducted on 10/19/22 at 2:23 PM. The staff involved were Staff F, Registered Nurse (RN) as the lead and Staff G, RN assisting; there was also a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in attendance. The supplies were gathered and were on a clean surface prior to the surveyor entering Resident #78's room-there were 2 sterile tracheostomy cleaning kits which each included sterile gloves, sterile normal saline, sterile gauze, sterile Q-tips, hydrogen peroxide, and fenestrated gauze pads; there was also a new tracheostomy inner cannula, a new tracheostomy mask (which delivers oxygen into the tracheostomy), and new neck ties.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations and interviews the facility failed to ensure proper storage of medications as evidenced by failure to lock medication carts and secure for 1 out of 2 medication carts observed on the facility's 4th floor. 2) Failed to ensure medication refrigerators are plugged into emergency outlet in event of a power outage. There were 140 residents residing in the facility at the time of this survey. The findings included: During a tour of the facility conducted on 10/18/22 at 4:57 PM, an observation was made of a medication cart that had been left unlocked and unattended in the main hallway of the 4th floor near room [ROOM NUMBER]. Photographic evidence was obtained of this unlocked cart. On 10/18/22 at approximately 5:00 PM, the surveyor asked a passing Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) which nurse was responsible for the cart, and the CNA replied that it was Staff I, RN. Staff I then came to the surveyor and was notified of her unlocked medication cart. The nurse did not verbally respond but did walk over and lock the cart. On 10/18/22 at approximately 6:30 PM the Director of nursing was informed of the observations. Observation and interview conducted by the Life Safety Surveyor with the Maintenance Director and the Regional Facilities director on October 20, 2022, between the hours of 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on the second, third and fourth floors in the medication rooms at the nurses' stations revealed the medication refrigerators are not connected to the emergency electrical branch. Unapproved connections to the medical refrigeration can pose harm and danger to patient's medicines in the event of a power failure or electrical shortage.
