This applies to 1 of 30 residents (R40) reviewed for dignity in the sample of 30. The findings include: R40's face sheet showed R40 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including, chronic diastolic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral vascular disease, and unspecified dementia, without behavioral disturbance. R40's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated May 15, 2024, showed R40 was severely cognitively impaired, and required staff assistance with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) including set up assistance with eating and oral hygiene and partial assistance with bed mobility, transfer, toilet hygiene, bathing, and dressing. R40's care plan initiated on January 30, 2023, interventions for incontinence included .Use adult incontinence products as needed . and provide dignity related to the use of incontinence products. On June 10, 2024, at 10:50 AM, R40 was sitting in the hallway in the second floor Medicare unit, without wearing pants, with his genitals exposed. There was another resident in the hallway sitting in a wheelchair nearby, the maintenance staff was in R40's room, and a housekeeping staff was cleaning the adjacent room. Staff did not respond until the surveyor pointed out the concern to V12 (Restorative Nurse) who was at the nurse's station across the hall from R40's room. On June 10, 2024, at 11:06 AM, V11 (CNA) stated she last saw R40 at 10:00 AM in his room and R40 must have wheeled himself into the hallway. V11 stated there were no pull up briefs in R40's room at that time, for R40 to wear, which is the only incontinence product R40 will use. V11 stated the pull up incontinence product was not available because the family did not bring in more supply.

R102 had multiple diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side and aphasia following cerebral infarction, based on the face sheet. R102's significant change MDS dated [DATE] showed that the resident was cognitively impaired. R102 had impairment/functional limitations in range of motion to one side of both upper and lower extremities. The same MDS showed that R102 required moderate to total assistance from the staff with most of her ADLs (activities of daily living). On June 10, 2024 at 12:58 PM, R102 was in bed, alert but nonverbal. R102 uses signs, gestures and sounds to communicate. R102 was eating independently using her left hand while in bed. R102 had weakness on her right arm and right hand. R102 was asked to raise her right arm and to open her right hand, but the resident was not able to perform as requested. R102 kept on pointing to her right arm and hand using her left fingers, while moving her head from side to side to indicate that she cannot move her right upper extremity. On June 11, 2024 at 11:17 AM, R102 was in bed, alert but nonverbal. R102 uses signs, gestures and sounds to communicate.

V8 stated that R102 had weakness to the right arm and right hand. V8 was prompted to request the therapy department to screen and/or evaluate R102 for the need for any splint or device to the right arm/hand and any therapy services. R102's OT (occupational therapy) evaluation and plan of treatment dated June 11, 2024 created by V9 (Occupational Therapist) showed that the resident had right sided paralysis and her right upper extremity was flaccid. The same OT evaluation showed that in order to prevent contracture to R102's right hand, a resting hand splint was recommended to be used daily for one to two hours with frequent skin checks for redness, swelling, discomfort or pain. On June 12, 2024 at 9:40 AM, V9 stated that she had evaluated R102 on June 11, 2024 after lunch, per nursing request. V9 stated that R102 had right upper extremity paralysis (flaccid) and her right hand was in a fisted position, and because of this the resident had increase potential to decline due to rigidity of the right upper extremity. According to V9, based on her evaluation of R102, the resident would benefit from the use of the right resting hand splint daily for one to two hours as tolerated to prevent contracture. V9 added that she also recommended for R102 to receive occupational therapy services three times a week for three weeks. 3. R23 had multiple diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebrovascular disease affecting right dominant side and polyarthritis, based on the face sheet.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few fingers (left and right hands) were deformed, and some fingers were hyperextended without any splint or device in place. On June 11, 2024 at 11:42 AM, R23 was in bed, alert, verbally responsive but confused. V8 who was in the room acknowledged that the resident's fingers were deformed, and some were hyperextended. V8 also acknowledged that R23 had no splint/device in place. V8 was prompted to have the therapy department evaluate or screen the resident for possible use of splint/device and/or therapy services. R23's OT evaluation and plan of treatment dated June 12, 2024, created by V9 (Occupational Therapist) showed in-part under impressions, Based on assessment, [patient's] [left] hand demonstrate swan neck deformity, PIP (proximal interphalangeal) joints are hyperextended, and DIP (distal interphalangeal) joints are in flexion. [Right] hand is showing signs of deformity occurring PIP joints of the 3rd and 4th digits are hyper extending. In order to prevent further deformity of [left/right] hand, a hand-based thumb spica orthosis and oval-8 finger splints are recommended. Thumb spica orthosis is recommended 1 x a day for 30 minutes and gradually increasing the time to 2 hours. Oval-8 finger splints is recommended 3 x a day for 20 minutes and gradually increasing the time to 1 hour. On June 12, 2024 at 1:05 PM, V9 stated that she had evaluated R23 that morning per nursing request. V9 stated that based on her evaluation of R23, the resident had arthritis of her fingers (both hands) with lots of deformities. V9 stated that she was recommending for R23 to use a right thumb spica splint to immobilize the joints of the right hand to prevent further progression of the deformities and to maintain current motion of the fingers. V9 stated that for R23's left hand she had recommended the use of an oval-8 splint due to the hyperextension of the middle and ring fingers. The oval-8 splint will help prevent further hyperextension of the fingers and prevent further progression of the deformities. According to V9, the right thumb spica splint and the left hand oval-8 splint could be applied at the same time. The right thumb spica splint is recommended to be applied once daily for 30 minutes and gradually increased to two hours as tolerated and the left hand oval-8 splint is recommended to be applied three times a day for 20 minutes and gradually increased to one hour as tolerated by the resident. V9 added that she also had recommended for R23 to receive occupational therapy services three times a week for four weeks. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to assess and provide appropriate splints and therapy services to maintain and/or prevent further progression of deformities or reduction in range of motion. This applies to 3 of 5 residents (R2, R23, R102) reviewed for Range of Motion (ROM) in the sample of 30. The findings include: 1. R2 has multiple diagnoses including rheumatoid arthritis, unspecified, generalized Osteo Arthritis, and Neuralgia according to the face sheet. R2's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated March 12, 2024, identifies R2 as cognitively intact. R2 has functional limitations of ROM (Range of Motion) to one side of both upper and lower extremities.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few and determined it appropriate to have Occupational Therapy (O/T) department evaluate efficacy of splinting or other therapeutic options, to maintain or increase R2's use of that hand and fingers. R2's OT evaluation and plan of care dated June 12, 2024, written by V9 shows [R2] is below baseline and would benefit from skilled OT. Based on assessment resident's right hand demonstrates claw hand deformity indicating ulnar nerve injury. [R2] also demonstrates deformities in digits one thru (through) three due to Arthritis. In order to prevent further deformities a figure 8 anti-claw splint is recommended 1 time per day, initially for 30 minutes, and an oval 8 finger splint is recommended three times per day initially for 20 minutes. Both splint times being increased as tolerated. On June 12 2024 at 11:45 AM, V9 stated she noted ulnar nerve damage causing right claw-hand deformity of ring and pinky finger (fingers 4 & 5) and based on her evaluation she will recommend an oval 8 anti-claw splint to be applied daily for 30 minutes per day initially then increasing it to 2 hours over the next 4 weeks to prevent further deformity and move fingers into proper alignment. V9 further stated she will also recommend an oval 8 finger splint to the right pointer and index fingers (fingers 2 & 3) three times per day initially for 20 minutes per day and gradually increasing to 1 hour per day to prevent further deformity and move fingers into proper alignment.

The facility also failed to administer g-tube flushes and medications using the proper technique. This applied to 1 of 1 resident (R147) reviewed for g-tube medication administration. The finding included: R147's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R147 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included pneumonitis due to inhalation of food/vomit, dysphagia, major depressive disorder, anxiety, protein-calorie malnutrition, Right lung malignant neoplasm, Clostridium Difficile (C-diff) and adult failure to thrive. R147's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated, May 27, 2024, showed R147 was cognitively intact and had history of coughing or choking during meals when swallowing. R147's care plan showed R147 required tube feeding and stoma site care due to dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Interventions included . check placement and patency of feeding tube prior to administering medications, feedings, and flushes. On June 11, 2024 at 3:28 PM, V3 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) prepared R147's 4:00 PM medications for administration. There were two pills scheduled to be administered. V3 crushed the first pill in a plastic sleeve and then placed the crushed pill into a plastic medication cup. V3 repeated the same process with the second medication. V3 poured 15 ml of water into each medication with the crushed pill. V3 filled two additional medication cups with 30 ml of water, V3 said she will be using it to flush the g-tube. V3 donned PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) before entering the room due to R147 being in contact isolation for Clostridium Difficile (C-diff). V3 explained to R147 what she was going to do. V3 turned off the tube feeding that was currently running. V3 disconnected the tube feeding from the port and then palpated the abdomen around the insertion site and asked R147 if there was any pain. R147 denied pain and V3 said ok good, I was checking placement. V3 used 30 ml of water and administered a water flush by pushing the water into the tube. V3 said she was making sure the tube was patent. V3 proceeded to administer one medication with 15 ml of water by pushing/injecting the medication into the tube, added another 15 ml of water into the medication cup to get the medication residual still in cup and then administered by pushing/injecting the medication into the tube. Second medication was administered by pushing/injecting the medication with 15 ml of water into tube and finished with 15 ml water flush which she pushed through the tube.
