Findings include: On 01/23/23 at 9:35 AM, R15 was observed in her wheelchair with a carrot (an aid to prevent fingers from going into the palm) in left hand. On 1/23/23 at 9:37 AM, V5, Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA), was questioned if R15 receives any range of motion exercises (ROM) on her hand. V5 stated that they do ROM exercises with R15's left hand. V5 was asked to perform the exercises on R15. V5 then performed finger stretches in and out of the left hand and bending of the first knuckle of the fingers on the left hand. V5 failed to do repeated flexion and extension of the finger at all joints. On 1/23/23 at 9:40 AM, V13, Registered Nurse/ Restorative Nurse, was questioned about where the resident's restorative plan of care could be located and who was in charge of making up the restorative plans. V13 stated that she oversees the restorative nursing program, and she makes up the resident's programs if they need one and the program can be found in the residents Care Plan. On 01/24/23 at 8:45 AM, V13 was questioned as to why R15 did not have a Range of Motion plan of care in place for her left hand due to contractures. V13 stated that the staff do work with R15's hand but there is not a plan made up for it and she is going to get an order from the doctor for range of motion today. V13 further stated that she was not aware that R15 did not have an order or a plan of care for range of motion. On 1/24/23 at 2:30 PM, V1, Administrator, stated, I do expect everyone with a contracture to have a program put in place, so they do not get further contracted and then the staff know what exactly the resident's program is. (V13) and I talked of this last night, and she knows everyone with a contracture needs to have a plan that address it in their care plan. On 1/25/23 at 10:30 AM, V2, Director of Nurses, stated, Range of Motion should be done on all planes. R15's admission Record, print date of 1/24/23, documents that R15 was admitted on [DATE] and has diagnoses of Dementia and personal history of a stroke.
