F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to refer two (R14, R33) of eight residents with newly evident or possible serious mental disorder to the appropriate state-designated authority for review in a sample of 35. Findings include: R33's current face sheet documents R33 is a [AGE] year-old individual with medical diagnoses that include but not limited to: paranoid schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified, depressive disorder not elsewhere classified. R33's face sheet further documents R33's medical diagnosis dated 09/17/2018 as paranoid schizophrenia, 11/12/2014 as depressive disorder not elsewhere classified, and unspecified schizophrenia unspecified condition. R33's initial admission date is documented as 11/12/2014, and admission dated as 09/17/2015. Record review documents R33 has an initial level I PASRR (preadmission screening and resident review) screening dated 03/04/2014. There is no documentation showing R33 was screened for level II PASRR. On 08/08/2024 at 3:16pm, V1(Administrator) stated the system triggers V1 to refer the residents for PASRR I or II PASRR screening or renewal of the resident's PASRR screening. V1 stated level I PASRR is to determine if a resident is appropriate for nursing home. V1 further stated level II is for the resident to continue to stay in the facility and gives information if the resident is eligible to live in the community. V1 stated when completing the PASRR, some of the questions on the form include the residents medical/psychological diagnosis and when the resident was diagnosed. V1 stated she was not sure why a level II PASRR is required. V1 stated R33 would be appropriate for a PASRR II screening because of R33's diagnoses of paranoid schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and paranoid schizophrenia unspecified. V1 stated if R33's information was put in the state designated authority portal, R33 should trigger for PASRR II screening. V1 stated she was not working at the facility when R33 was admitted , therefore V1 does not know if R33's information was sent to the state designated authority for PASRR level II screening. V1 stated all residents including those admitted a long time ago like R33 and have mental health diagnosis should have a level II PASRR screening completed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow professional standards of medication administration documentation after administration of medication to prevent medication errors for 19 of 19 (R4, R7, R8, R32, R50, R59, R65, R67, R82, R83, R91, R92, R101, R109, R126, R137, R142, R167, and R172) residents reviewed for medication pass. This failure affected 19 residents whose medications were not documented in a timely manner. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: On 08/07/2024 at 8:25AM, surveyor located on the first floor of the facility with V15 (RN/Registered Nurse). V15 states she has completed her 9:00AM medication pass. V15 stated she began her medication pass at approximately 6:45AM today for resident's 9:00AM scheduled medications. V15 states she is responsible for medication cart #2 on the first floor of the facility. On 08/07/2024 at 9:05AM, surveyor observed that V15 is no longer located at the first-floor nurses' station and the hard chart MAR (medication administration record) for medication cart #2 is no longer on top of medication cart #2. Surveyor inquires to other staff members about the location of the manual/hard chart medication administration record/MAR for V15's assigned residents for medication cart #2. Several staff members then begin to try to locate V15 and the MAR for medication cart #2. On 08/07/2024 at 9:08AM, V15 observed walking down the hall on the first floor of the facility with the hard chart MAR. Surveyor inquires to V15 about why she took the MAR from on top of the medication cart if she was finished performing her 9:00AM medication administration pass. V15 states she took the MAR so that she could sign off for the medication that she administered during her medication pass. V15 states she administered medications to residents but did not sign the MAR. Surveyor inquires to V15 about the protocol and professional standards for documenting administered medications. V15 states medications should be documented immediately after it is administered to the resident. V15 states if medication administration is not documented then it is interpreted that the medication was not administered. On 08/07/2024 at 9:15AM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing/DON) was made aware of surveyor's observations. Surveyor inquires to V2 about professional standards and administering medications. V2 states if administration of medication is not documented, then it was not given. V2 acknowledges if medication administration is not documented, then it is a possibility for a medication error to occur. V2 states the time frame for nurses to administer resident medications is one hour before and one hour after the scheduled administration time. Record review of the MAR for the first-floor medication cart #2 shows that V15 did not sign for medications administered to R4, R7, R8, R32, R50, R59, R65, R67, R82, R83, R91, R92, R101, R109, R126, R137, R142, R167, and R172.

On 08/06/2024 at 12:40pm, surveyor observed R92 in his room lying in bed, with bed flat and in low position. R92 was observed chewing on something in his mouth. On 08/06/2024 at 12:42pm, surveyor asked V5(Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA) to go to R92's with surveyor. Surveyor and V5 observed R92 chewing something in his mouth that was light blue and white in color. V5 asked R92 what was in his (R92) mouth, R92 did not answer. V5 asked R92 to take out what was in his (R92) mouth. R92 continued to chew on the item, refusing to take it out. V5 told R92 if he took out the stuff R92 was chewing, V5 would give R92 a chocolate candy bar. R92 spit the item R92 was eating into V5's hand and V5 gave R92 a mini chocolate bar. V5 stated the stuff R92 was chewing was a piece of R92's incontinence wear, and R92 like to tear his incontinence wear and eat it.

On 08/06/2024 at 1:05pm, V7(Registered Nurse/Supervisor) stated residents should be monitored and residents should not be eating their incontinent briefs because it is a choke hazard. V7 further stated staff should not give their food items to residents because some residents have dietary restrictions and risk for aspiration. V7 stated R92 eating a piece of his incontinent brief is a behavioral issue and R92 needs to be monitored and assessed. V7 stated V5 should not have given R92 a chocolate bar but should have asked R92 to remove what R92 was eating and notify R92's nurse for assistance and assessment, because R92 could have had more items in his mouth and adding the cholate bar could have cause R92 to choke. V7 stated he will take R92's vitals and notify R92's physician.
