On 10/16/2024 at 12:05 PM with V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that R1 has a tooth problem. V2 said, I think her tooth was broken and she complained of pain. Per V2, R1 was seen by the dentist on 9/12/2024 and recommended tooth extraction. R1 was scheduled to go out to an outside dental clinic but was cancelled due to transfer problem. R1 uses Hoyer lift for transfer and the dental clinic does not have equipment to transfer R1 from the wheelchair or stretcher to dental chair. Dental clinic was concerned about the safe transfer of R1. V2 said, that R1 has an appointment on 10/18/2024 for in-house tooth extraction and that R1's diet was changed from regular to mechanical soft. R1's Tylenol medication schedule was changed from as needed to every 8 hours. V2 was handed R1's full care plan to review. After full review, V2 pointed and acknowledged the care plan for oral/dental health problems related to tooth pain dated 10/16/2024. V2 stated that it was just done today and R1 did not have a care plan for oral/dental health problem until today. V2 stated that R1's care plan needs to be comprehensive enough to address all issues included in the interventions including pain, diet, and other areas that may be affected by R1's tooth problem. On 10/17/2024 at 11:24 AM, V1 (Administrator) explained that R1 was scheduled for an appointment going to outside dental clinic but was unable to go due to transfer issue. Dental clinic cannot accommodate because it is hard to transfer R1 from wheelchair or stretcher to the dental chair because R1 needs Hoyer lift. V1 was made aware that care plan was not started until today (10/16/2024) to address these concerns and contingencies such as the issue she (V1) just mentioned in case interventions by facility failed related to R1's dental/oral care. V1 stated that she was aware and will address the issue. Care Plan policy dated 7/26/2024, reads: It is the policy of the facility to ensure that all care plans including base line care plans are in conjunction with federal regulations.
