**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a newly inserted
pacemaker for 1 (Resident #204) of 3 residents reviewed for pacemakers.
The findings included:
Review of Resident #204's clinical record revealed an admission date of 4/26/23. Diagnoses included
cardiac dysrhythmia (abnormal heart activity).
Review of the hospital documentation revealed on 4/6/23 Resident #204 underwent a surgical insertion of a
cardiac pacemaker (Device to help control the heartbeat).
On 5/10/23 at 3:45 p.m., Resident #204 said he recently had a pacemaker implanted in his chest. The
resident said no one told him about any special precautions for the pacemaker.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] listed the code for the presence of a
Pacemaker in the diagnoses.
The physician's orders as of 5/10/23 did not include instructions on care of the cardiac pacemaker.
The care plans initiated on 4/26/23 did not address the recently inserted pacemaker with appropriate
interventions to meet the resident's identified needs related to the pacemaker.
On 5/11/23 at 11:17 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff F said there is a checklist in the front of the
paper chart for areas to be completed and verified.
Review of the Clinical admission Checklist located in front of Resident #204's paper chart revealed N/A (not
applicable was entered for If pacemaker-order to include follow up care.
On 5/11/23 at 11:22 a.m., the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator said she is responsible to ensure the
care plan for each resident is accurate. She said all residents with pacemakers should have a pacemaker
care plan. She verified Resident #204 did not have a care plan for the pacemaker.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide appropriate services to
maintain highest level of range of motion for 1 (Resident #37) of 3 residents reviewed for limited range of
motion and activities of daily living.
The findings included:
A review of the Clinical Services Policy, Support Activities of Daily living (ADL), effective 4/2022 stated
residents should be provided with care, treatment, and services such that their activities of daily living do
not diminish unless the circumstances of their clinical condition(s) demonstrate that diminishing ADLS are
unavoidable.
A review of the clinical record for Resident #37 revealed a Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
completed on 2/15/23 noted Resident #37 had functional limitation in Range of Motion (ROM) on one side
of the upper extremities. The resident's cognition was severely impaired. The resident was rarely or never
understood. Resident #37's diagnoses included Dementia, Contracture (deformity, rigidity of joint) of the
right hand.
The physician's orders dated 11/18/22 included the use of a Carrot (device to position the fingers away
from the palm to protect from pressure, moisture and nail puncture) to the right hand every shift.
Resident #37 care plan revised on 9/5/2021 noted a right hand contracture. The interventions included to
use a carrot to the right hand at all times, as tolerated, off twice daily for hand hygiene.
On 5/8/23 at 12:12 p.m., 3:22 p.m., and 5/9/23 at 9:48 a.m., Resident #37's right hand was observed tightly
closed. The resident was not wearing a carrot or alternative device to prevent the fingernails from pressing
into her palm.
On 5/9/23 at 3:43 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff E, confirmed the resident was not wearing
the carrot to the right hand as ordered. She stated, I know how to do range of motion but there is not
anything we do for her now.
On 5/9/23 at 3:45 p.m., the Rehabilitation Director stated Resident #37 was not on a restorative program to
maintain the current range of motion. The Director said not all residents were provided with restorative
services, only those that tend to benefit and may continue to improve over time.
On 5/10/23 at 1:37 p.m., CNA Staff I stated the Rehab Director brought a stuffed carrot to place in the
resident's hand this morning. He stated he had never seen Resident #37 with a carrot before.
On 5/10/23 at 2:53 p.m., the Rehab Director stated, I checked yesterday because I knew she was
supposed to have one and realized she didn't have it. I got one for her this morning and gave it to the CNA.
She should have it in her hand all the time except when they remove it for hygiene.
Review of the documentation on the Treatment Administration Record for May 2023 showed the nurses
placed a check mark each shift, including on 5/8/23, and 5/9/23 for, Carrot to right hand every shift.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, staff interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents
reviewed with an indwelling foley catheter had a valid medical justification for continued use of an indwelling
foley catheter (catheter placed in the bladder to drain urine). The facility failed to provide appropriate care
and services to 2 (Resident #13 and #203) of 5 sampled residents with a urinary catheter to prevent urinary
tract infections.
The findings included:
1. On 5/8/23 at 10:18 a.m. Resident #1 was observed connected to an indwelling foley catheter.
A review of Resident #1's medical record revealed Resident #1's initial admission was 5/3/22 with a
readmission date of 4/27/23. Initial admission diagnoses were acute cystitis with hematuria, atherosclerotic
heart disease, hyperlipidemia, anxiety disorder, syncope, and nonrheumatic aortic stenosis. The
comprehensive nursing progress note dated 2/7/23 noted Resident #1 as continent of bowel and bladder.
A hospital transfer form dated 4/21/22 stated Resident #1 was sent to the emergency room for an
evaluation related to a fall. Resident #1 was alert, oriented, and able to follow commands. The functional
status section noted Resident #1 did not have an indwelling foley catheter but needed assistance with
toileting and Resident #1 was incontinent of the bladder only.
The nursing comprehensive note dated 4/28/23 said Resident #1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]
from the hospital after a fall resulting in a hematoma to her head. The progress note further said Resident
#1 was alert and oriented times 3, vital signs were stable, and continent of bowel.
The nursing comprehensive note dated 4/30/23 noted Resident #1 was alert and oriented, able to express
her needs, and had a pleasant affect. Resident #1 had no complaints of pain and no signs and symptoms
of distress.
A Physician's order dated 4/28/23 for catheter care for indwelling catheter care every shift and monitoring
for redness, irritation, swelling, and sign and symptoms of urinary tract infection was noted.
A Physician's progress note dated 4/28/23 at 12:43 p.m. noted the chief complaint as transition of care
encounter for readmission to the nursing home on 4/27/23. A review of the physician's progress note
revealed no documentation of Resident #1's indwelling foley catheter or a justification for the continued use
of the indwelling foley catheter.
The Prevention of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection Policy #CS-50-12, dated 1/2009 and last
revised 7/2015, stated the purpose of these guidelines was to reduce the risk of urinary tract infection
associated with the use of a catheter. Section A said the utilization of a urinary catheter when a resident's
clinical condition demonstrated a need, the catheter would be left in place only as long as needed. A
catheter could be used for residents with chronic urinary retention or bladder outlet obstruction, to assist in
healing a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer in incontinent residents, or to improve comfort for end-of-life care if
needed.

documentation related to the clinical justification for the continued use of the foley catheter after Resident
#1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. She said they would call Resident #1's primary care physician
to determine if Resident #1 needed the foley catheter.
On 5/11/23 at 11:04 a.m. the Interim DON said Resident #1's primary care physician said Resident #1 did
not need a foley catheter, so they discontinued Resident #1's foley catheter on 5/10/23.
