F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to apply a bilateral knee immobilizer to one resident (R93) of 3 residents reviewed for positioning devices listed in Restorative program. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: On 4/25/23 at 11:00am, observed R93 in bed asleep, and breathing. R93's lower extremities covered with a blanket. List of restorative devices, R93 is on the list for bilateral knee immobilizer. Physician orders says bilateral knee immobilizer on at all times, may remove for inspection and hygiene every shift with an order date of 2/1/23. On 4/25/23 at 11:15 am Restorative Aide (V8) with surveyor and observed that R93 was not wearing the immobilizer. Immobilizer device by V8 found on wheelchair in plastic bag. Not in use. V8 stated, It was supposed to be on R93. On 4/25/23 at 11:45 am interviewed V23 (CNA) and V23 admitted that it was not put on that day due to they stopped and removed the immobilizer couple of days ago and have not seen the device in resident's room. On 4/27/23 at 12:25pm V27 (Physical Therapy Director) stated that R93 was admitted in the facility beginning of this year, already admitted with contractures and with order for bilateral knee immobilizer. Restorative initiated the immobilizer. I re-evaluated R93, and the bilateral knee immobilizer was change on 4/26/23 to bilateral knee splint. With scheduling time, alternating schedule time. We don't put two immobilizers both at the same time, and I recommended to make a wearing schedule for the alternating wearing time for right and left knee splint at this time. On my assessment there are more flexion and worsening of contractions. On 4/27/23 at 1240pm (V13) stated that the immobilizer is used immobilized the legs of any resident with order for immobilizer. R93 has that contracture, and it is most likely ordered to prevent further contraction. Restorative Contracture Observation sated 2/1/23 reads in part: left knee and right knee: fixed joint or no joint mobility available. Resident has splint/orthosis: Bilateral Knee Immobilizer Physical Therapy Screening Form dated 2/1/23 reads in part: Joint limitations/contractures. Patient admitted from nursing home. Patient at baseline restorative will refers if any changes.
