F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a wound was assessed and the wound nurse practitioner notified of a new wound. The facility failed to ensure pressure relieving interventions were in place for residents who are at risk for pressure ulcer for 4 of 5 residents (R98, R105, R121 and R240) reviewed for pressure injuries in the sample of 29. Residents Affected - Some The findings include: 1. On 6/25/24 at 10:59 AM, R98 was lying in bed. R98's left heel was laying directly on the bed. R98's heel protector boots were sitting in the wheelchair in her room. R98 was provided incontinence care. R98 had an open area on her sacrum that was approximately 3 centimeters (cm) x 3 cm x 0.2 cm. The wound was covered in white appearing cream. R98 had scar tissue present in the same area. On 6/25/24 at 11:27 AM, V6 (Wound Care Registered Nurse) said that R98 is at high risk for pressure ulcers. V6 said that R98 has a history of a very large unstageable pressure ulcer on her bottom and has had heel pressure ulcers in the past as well. V6 said that intervention put in place to prevent pressure ulcers for R98 include: an air mattress, frequent incontinence care, repositioning and offloading her heels when in bed. V6 said that the staff notified her of an area they were concerned about on her bottom. V6 said that she went and assessed the area and found that she had a skin tear in the same area as her previous pressure ulcer. V6 said that the flap of skin was still intact, so they kept the piece of skin there but eventually it came off and exposed pink tissue. V6 said that once the skin tear was found, an order to apply zinc cream was obtained and that is the treatment that has been in place daily since. On 6/26/24 at 10:30 AM, V13 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) said that she comes to the facility to see residents two times per week. V13 said that she sees all wound types. V13 said that if she is notified of a new wound, she would see the resident at her next visit to the facility. V13 said that she would do a wound assessment that included the type of wound, description of the wound and measurements of the wound. V13 said that she would ensure that the treatments in place were appropriate for the wound. V13 said that she would then see the resident weekly to do another assessment to ensure that the wound is healing and provide new treatment interventions if it is not healing. V13 said that she was not notified to see R98's wound. V13 said that the last time she saw R98 was in March, and she did not have any sacral wounds. V13 said that she has been to the facility multiple times since 6/7/24. On 6/26/24 at 10:40 AM, V14 (Registered Nurse) performed a wound assessment. The sacral wound measured 3.5 cm x 4 cm x 0.5 cm. The wound bed was pink with two areas in the middle of the wound that had whitish/yellow tissue present. V14 tried to clean the areas off to ensure that it was not cream present. The areas remained after cleaning. On 6/26/24 at 1:00 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said that she would expect her staff to report any new wounds to the physician or nurse practitioner to get orders for the wound and report the wound to the wound nurse. V2 said that the wound nurse would then do an assessment of the wound and document the assessment on the skin alteration form. V2 said that the wound nurse would then notify the wound Nurse Practitioner to see the resident on their next visit. V2 said that the wound should be assessed at least weekly or whenever the wound has a deterioration or change. V2 said that the assessments should be documented in the resident's medical record.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 6/26/24 at 1:24 PM, V7 (Nurse Practitioner) said that she went and saw R98's wound today and it looks like a stage 2 to 3 pressure ulcer now. V7 said that the wound bed was pink with a couple areas of yellowish fat tissue present (The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel says stage 3 pressure injuries are full thickness loss of skin, in which adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer). V7 said that to her it sounds like the wound started as a skin tear and then developed into a pressure ulcer. V7 said that the nurse should be monitoring and assessing any open area and if it gets worse, they should notify the physician or nurse practitioner. V7 said that R98 had zinc cream previously ordered but now that it is worse, she does not want zinc on it and put in a new order for collagen ointment and a dry dressing. V7 said that they do not do measurements for skin tears but once the wound changed to an open wound, an assessment should have been done at that time and the physician notified. R98's Nursing Notes dated 6/7/24 shows, Called to see pt (patient) due to the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) noted skin friction tear, upon assessment noted skin flap intact and pulled over, base of the wound pink and dry. Site is of healed wound area and over scar tissue. Pt already on air mattress, and seen by NP (Nurse Practitioner), treatment ordered. R98's Nurse Practitioner Note dated 6/07/24 shows, The pt was noted to have a new shearing/skin tear on her sacrum Skin: skin tear over sacrum, shearing-new .Plan: Wound care nurse to evaluate; zinc oxide added . No other assessment of R98's wound was documented in her clinical records from 6/7/24 to 6/25/24. There were no skin alteration forms completed in R98's clinical records between 6/7/24 and 6/25/24. There were no measurements or other descriptions of the wound documented until 6/26/24. R98's Quarterly Skin Evaluation Form dated 4/1/24 shows that she is at risk for pressure ulcer development. R98's Care Plan shows she has a history of a stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer and a stage 2 left heel pressure ulcer with intervention to include: off load heels as ordered. The facility's Wound Care Guidelines Policy revised on 1/24/24 shows, Elevate resident heels off the bed as indicated (place pillows under calf .or use heel protectors that offload the heel from the bed surface .The resident's skin alteration/breakdown (pressure ulcer, arterial, diabetic, venous ulcer and etc.) shall be documented in the resident's clinical records Pressure Injury treatment .Timely referral to the facility's Wound Care Specialist for all pressure injuries and/or wounds Wound assessment documentation shall include but are not limited to: type of wound and/or ulcer, etiology, location, date, stage (if applicable), length, width, and depth; wound description, wound edge description and if present, exudates, undermining, tunneling, and wound related pain. 2. On 06/24/24 at 10:25 AM, R240 was in bed with a pillow under her left side. R240's heels were flat on the bed. On 06/24/24 at 12:10 PM, R240 remained in the same position in bed with a pillow under her left side. R240's heels were flat on the bed. On 06/25/24 V6 Wound Registered Nurse said to reduce pressure on heels, interventions of heel boots or offloading the heels with pillows can be used. V6 said R240 does not like heel boots so pillows are used to float her heels off the bed. R240's Skin and Wound Note dated 6/21/24 shows R240 has an unstageable pressure injury to her right hip and shows float heels while in bed with use of foam boots.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 residents received their range of motion (ROM) exercises as ordered and failed to ensure splints were placed for a resident with contractures as ordered for 4 of 10 residents (R5, R14, R28 and R79) reviewed for restorative services in the sample of 29. The findings include: 1. On 6/24/24 at 10:10 AM, R28 was transferred from his bed to the wheelchair with two person assist. R28 was unable to stand up straight and required maximal assistance to pivot transfer to the wheelchair. R28 was not provided a walker to transfer. On 6/24/24 at 9:53 AM, R28 said that he used to be able to walk but can now barely get out of bed and it takes two people to get him up. On 6/25/24 at 1:38 PM, V3 (Restorative Nurse) said that all residents should receive their ordered restorative services. V3 said that it should be charted under that task section in the computer. V3 said that if the resident refuses, it should still be charted. V3 said that if it was not charted, then it was not done. On 6/25/24 at 2:00 PM, V10 (Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant) said that R28 is in the restorative program. V10 said that they stand him on the side of the bed with two persons daily to help with his leg strength and she either does arm exercises with him or has him use the arm bike for upper extremity strength daily. V10 said that when she performs the exercises, she documents it under the tasks in the computer program. V10 said that she would also document if he refuses. V10 said that she is not able to perform her restorative duties if she is pulled to work the floor but another restorative aide or the restorative nurse should be doing the residents who require restorative services. On 6/25/24 at 2:05 PM, R28 said that they do not have him stand on the side of the bed with his walker because he can't do it anymore. R28 said that he does not ever recall using an arm bike for exercise. R28's Physical Therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE] shows that R28 requires moderate assistance for transfers and can currently ambulate 20-40 feet with his rolling walker. R28's Discharge Recommendations include: restorative range of motion, bed mobility and transfer program. R28's Physician's Order Sheet shows orders dated 5/2/24 for: upper extremity bike range of motion exercises daily for 15 minutes and sit to stand to rolling walker/grab bar as tolerated up to 7 days/week. R28's Electronic Task History shows that R28 is to complete sit to stand with rolling walker or grab bar to strengthen bilateral lower extremities up to 7 days/week. The task history from 5/28/24 to 6/26/24 shows that this was performed 9 times and refused one time.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure fall interventions were in place for residents with a history of falls for 2 of 29 residents (R108, R33) reviewed for safety in the sample of 29. The findings include: 1. On 6/24/24 at 9:56 AM, R108 was in bed with fall mats on each side of the bed. R108's bed was not in the lowest position. R108 said he fell and broke his hip and leg. On 6/25/24 at 9:46 AM, R108 was in bed (not in lowest position) with the call light on the floor near the head of the bed. On 6/25/24 at 1:55 PM, R108 was yelling out help me. R108's bed was not in the lowest position and his call light was wrapped around the bed rail and dangling down towards the ground, not within R108's reach. On 6/26/24 at 10:48 AM, V3 Restorative Nurse said after R108's fall he implemented the interventions of bed alarm, floor mats, and bed in lowest position. The facility's Post Fall Investigation dated 6/16/24 for R108 shows R108 got up from bed and fell. The same form shows interventions to address incident: Provided resident with bed alarm to alert staff when resident attempted to get up from bed unassisted and provided floor mats on both side of bed, position bed at lowest position. 2. On 6/24/24 at 12:22 PM, R33 was in bed. Hanging on the bed frame was a bed alarm box. The sensor pad for the bed alarm was hanging behind the headboard of R33's bed.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure food preparation equipment was sanitized prior to preparing food. This has the potential to affect all 138 residents receiving food from the kitchen. The findings include: The CMS 671 dated 6/24/24 shows there are 139 residents residing in the facility. Facility provided Diet Type Report shows that there is only one resident with an order of NPO (nothing by mouth) and does not receive food from the kitchen. On 6/24/24 at 10:37 AM, V18 (Chef) said that he had just finished pureeing the chicken for lunch and had to finish pureeing the noodles and broccoli. On 6/24/24 at 10:42 AM, V18 went to the prep sink where water was running onto a soiled food processor container, food processor lid, food processor blade, and spatula. V18 grabbed a rag from a green bucket next to the sink and proceeded to use it to wash the items in the prep sink. When finished, V18 returned the rag to the green bucket, removed the items from the sink, and brought all the items to the prep table to begin his puree process. V18 placed the spatula on the prep table and assembled all the food processor components before placing them onto the food processor base. The items were still wet from being washed and were not sanitized. On 6/24/24 at 10:46 AM, V18 returned to the prep table where he began to puree the broccoli. At 10:52 AM, V18 picked up the un-sanitized spatula that was on the prep table and used it to scoop the pureed broccoli out of the food processor pitcher and into a serving pan. At 10:55 PM, V18 brought the food processor components and the spatula back to the prep sink where he continued the same process as before, washing all the items in the prep sink and returning them to the prep table without sanitizing and air drying. On 6/24/24 at 10:55 AM, V17 (Food Service Director) confirmed that the contents of the green bucket were only water with soap. On 6/24/24 at 10:59 AM, V18 began to puree the pasta. At 11:03 AM, V18 finished with the pureed pasta and used the un-sanitized spatula to scoop the pureed pasta into a serving pan. On 6/24/24 at 12:10 PM, V17 said that no additional purees were made for lunch and the ones used for service were the ones made by V18. On 6/25/24 at 1:24 PM, V17 said that V18 should have brought the food processor pitcher, lid, blade, and the spatula to the dish room to wash, rinse, and sanitize the parts. He (V18) . needs to wash, rinse, sanitize, and air dry before starting the next puree. V17 said in a perfect world, the facility would have two or more complete food processor pitchers for the puree process.
