self-administration assessment tool sheet last week for (R3). I should not have signed the same
assessment tool from admission. I should have done a whole new sheet and put the date and time. I could
not find the Breo Ellipta so I ordered one and seen there were no medications on the assessment tool, so I
added the Breo Ellipta. I did not get a chance to ask all questions. Usually this is done on admission. V5
stated, 09/24/2024 was the first day the Breo Ellipta was ordered.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a person-centered care plan and interventions that
meet the needs of a resident receiving dialysis treatment. This deficiency affects one (R65) of one resident
in a sample of 15 reviewed for dialysis.
Findings include:
R65 is a [AGE] year old, female, admitted in the unit on 09/27/24, with diagnosis of End Stage Renal
Disease. R65 goes to an outpatient dialysis center for hemodialysis three times a week.
On 10/08/24 at 2:40 PM, R65 was observed in her room, sitting in bedside chair. R65 is alert, oriented, and
verbal. R65 was asked regarding dialysis treatment. R65 replied, I go to dialysis Monday-Wednesday-Friday
around 1-2 PM, for 3 and a half hours treatment. I go to outpatient dialysis center.
R65's care plan read:
Impaired fluid balance related to renal disease: Resident to go to Outpatient dialysis after scheduled
therapy
Hemodialysis - Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule; fluid restriction.
There were no other specific interventions written in R65's care plan regarding monitoring, amount of fluid
to be restricted and access care.
On 10/09/24 11:29 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) was asked regarding dialysis care plan. V2 verbalized,
Care plan is developed, depends on the order from doctors. If there is an order for fluid restriction or diet, it
will be reflected in the care plan. Admitting nurses do the care plan. They don't usually do anything from the
nursing standpoint in terms of interventions. There is not a written plan. It is not individualized.
Facility was asked to present policy regarding care plan, but nothing was presented during the course of
the survey period.
