then, but they should still be filling out a sheet for refusals and charting.

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a range of motion program was in
place for a resident with functional limitations in range of motion for one of four residents (R64) reviewed for
range of motion in the sample of 42.
Findings include:
The facility's Restorative Nursing Program policy (revised 01/2019) documents the following: A
maintenance program is established based on the resident specific needs for the program. A care plan is
then initiated. A functional maintenance program may include range of motion provided during routine daily
care such as dressing, grooming/hygiene, eating, transfers, etc. Range of Motion programs may include
Active Assistive Range of Motion, Active Range of Motion or Passive Range of Motion.
R64's Annual Minimum Data Set Assessment (dated [DATE]), Section GG 'Functional Limitation in Range
of Motion,' documents R64 has impairment on both sides of her upper and lower extremities. This same
section also documents the following: R64 is dependent with toileting hygiene, shower/bathing self, lower
body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear; and R64 requires substantial/maximum assistance with upper
body dressing and personal hygiene.
R64's current care plan documents the following: I am at risk for an ADL (activities of daily living) Self Care
Performance Deficit related to: requires extensive assist to total dependence with daily care needs, history
of Covid-19 resulting in prolonged hospital stay and critical illness myopathy, other contributing factors
include: congestive heart failure, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), morbid obesity, RLS
(Restless Leg Syndrome), polyneuropathy, limited ROM (range of motion) of bilateral upper and lower
extremities.
On [DATE] at 12:50 PM, R64 was sitting in an electric wheelchair in her room operating her cellular phone
which was positioned on a cellular phone stand in front of her on a bedside table. Two upper 1/4 bedrails
were attached to R64's bed and secured in the upright position. R64 stated she utilizes the bedrails often to
reposition herself due to generalized weakness. R64 stated she, nearly died, after having Covid-19 some
time ago, I was so weak. I have lost some of the use of my arms and legs. I've gotten some strength back,
and hopefully can continue to regain more. I really lost a lot in my hands and fingers. R64 then lifted her
right arm up and pointed out all four of her fingers that were maintained in a curved, rigid, claw-like position.
R64 stated, I cannot straighten my fingers. They have been like this since I was so sick with Covid-19. R64
stated facility staff currently do not assist her to perform any type of range of motion exercises. R64 stated, I
was receiving physical therapy and occupational therapy, but I am not right now. You know how they have to
take you off therapy for a few months before they can put you back on. They took me off a little over month
or so ago. R64 stated she is required to utilize a sit-to-stand lift to transfer due to her weakness.
R64's medical record has no documentation of any type of range of motion program in place.
On [DATE] at 11:20 AM, V8 (Minimum Data Set Coordinator/Registered Nurse) confirmed that R64 does
not have any type of range of program in place, and stated R64 would benefit from range of motion
exercises.

medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to document an appropriate medical
indication for the use of an Antipsychotic medication for one resident (R36) and failed to identify and
monitor for target behaviors that warrant the use of an Antipsychotic medication for two of three residents
(R36 and R39) reviewed for psychotropic medications in the sample of 42.
Findings include:
The facility's Psychotropic Medication-Gradual Dose Reduction Policy (Revised 02/2018) documents,
Purpose: To ensure that residents are not given psychotropic drugs unless psychotropic drug therapy is
necessary to treat a specific or suspected condition as per current standards of practice and are prescribed
at the lowest dose therapeutic to treat such conditions.

behaviors were displayed by R36 during this time frame.
On 02/07/24 at 01:20 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated R36 was admitted to the facility in November
2023 with an order for her antipsychotic, Aripiprazole, and has been taking it as prescribed while residing at
the facility. V2 stated the medical indication documented for the use of R36's Aripiprazole is Anxiety, which
is not an appropriate indication for the use of an antipsychotic medication. V2 stated R36, has never really
displayed any behaviors, and therefore, indicated the facility has not identified any target behaviors to
monitor R36 for. V2 stated, We have a generalized behavior sheet, and document any behavior a resident
displays even if it hasn't been identified as a target behavior, being the reason for the use of the medication.
V2 confirmed that if there are no target behaviors monitored, the facility cannot evaluate the effectiveness
of R36's Aripiprazole to determine if a gradual dose reduction is appropriate. V2 then stated R36 is, pretty
mellow, and is not a harm to herself or others.

hands before and after handling foods, after touching any part of the uniform, face, or hair, and before and
after working with an individual resident. Gloves are to be changed any time hand washing would be
required. This includes when leaving the kitchen for a break or go to another location in the building; after
handling potentially hazardous food; or if gloves become contaminated by touching the face, hair, uniform,
or other non-food contact surface, such as door handles and equipment. Staff should be reminded that
gloves become contaminated just as hands do and should be changed often. When in doubt, remove
gloves and wash hands again.

hygiene while serving. V4 set a plate on a tray to be served and the bread stick fell off onto the tray. V4
picked it up and put it back onto the plate.

breadsticks not her hand. V5 also stated that V4 is to wash her hands and apply clean gloves after touching
her uniform and other objects in the kitchen.
