Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from neglect when they failed to
assess, treat, and implement interventions to prevent pressure ulcers, accurately assess for skin
breakdown, discontinue psychotropic medications as ordered by the physician, and provide oral care for 1
of 5 (R12) residents reviewed for neglect in the sample of 19. This failure resulted in R12 being transferred
to the local hospital on [DATE] for altered mental status and possible sepsis. Once at the hospital it was
determined R12 had received Haldol and Clonazepam without a physician order from 11/23/24 until
12/01/24. R12 had developed 15 new wounds including a Stage 2 and Stage 3 to his buttocks, a Stage 2 to
the left knee, and two deep tissue injuries to his bilateral heels. R12 also had a buildup of a hardened
yellow/brown coating with cracking and fissures noted to be covering the tongue from lack of oral care.
This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy, which was identified to have begun on 11/23/24 when the
facility failed to 1. Assess R12's skin upon return from the hospital on [DATE], 2. Put treatment orders in
place for the pressure ulcer identified throughout R12's hospital stay 3. Identify, assess, treat, and notify the
physician of the new pressure areas identified on R12's 11/30/24 shower sheet, 4. Discontinue
psychotropic medications as ordered on the hospital discharge instructions on 11/23/24, and 4. Provide oral
care per current standards of practice.
V1 (Administrator) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 12/11/24 at 1:30 PM. The surveyor confirmed
by observations, interview, and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 12/11/2024, but
the noncompliance remains at Level Two due to additional time needed to evaluate implementation and
effectiveness of training.
Findings Include:
R12's admission Record with a print date of 12/5/24 documents R12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that include fracture of left femur, hypotension, diabetes, schizophrenia (diagnosis added on
11/07/24), bipolar disorder (added on 11/07/24) difficulty walking, and muscle weakness.
R12's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 10/17/2024 documents R12 has a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental
Status) score of 15, which indicates R12 is cognitively intact. This same MDS documents R12 required
partial to moderate assist for transfers, was independent for bed mobility, and was at risk for developing
pressure ulcers. R12's local hospital records dated 12/01/24 documents R12 is more confused upon arrival
to the hospital.

Clonazepam had been discontinued in the progress notes. V18 stated when she returned to work the next
day, she noticed they were still active on R12's medication list so she held them waiting for clarification. V18
stated she spoke with the night shift nurse (V19/RN) who said she had taken care of it and the medications
were reinstated so she assumed the physician had given an order to resume them.
On 12/28/24 at 10:00 AM, V19 (RN) stated V18 was the day shift nurse when R12 returned from the
hospital, and she (V19) was the oncoming night shift nurse. V19 stated V18 reported to her R12's
medications were discontinued by the hospital. V19 stated R12 doesn't have any medications ordered on
night shift other than Tylenol. V19 stated she did not call the physician to clarify the medication orders from
the hospital discharge. V19 stated she wouldn't have had a reason to look at those medications and/or
orders since R12 didn't take medications on her shift and V18 had reported to her they were discontinued.
On 12/4/24 at 2:35 PM, V5 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) stated mid-November, R12 stopped eating,
started refusing care, and became a two person assist. V5 stated it was a change in R12's condition and it
worsened when he came back from the hospital on [DATE]. V5 stated R12 would get up for meals before he
went to the hospital and when he came back, he would barely eat and/or drink and even stopped yelling
down the halls. V5 stated she reported this to an unknown nurse, and she thought the nurse assessed R12
and documented it.
On 12/9/24 at 12:50 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nurses) stated the Haldol and Clonazepam were started
because R12 had extreme behaviors. V2 stated after it was discontinued at the hospital, she assumed V15
(Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner/Psych NP) had resumed the order when he returned to the facility and that
was why he was still getting the medications.
On 12/9/24 at 1:02 PM, V15 (Psych NP) stated the facility did not notify her R12 had been to the hospital
and/or that the medication had been discontinued by the hospital physicians. V15 stated she looked back at
her communication with the facility, and she got a message R12 needed a refill on his Clonazepam but was
never notified by the facility the medication had been discontinued. V15 stated she hadn't seen R12 since
10/24/24 and her expectations would be that if a medication were discontinued while the resident was at
the hospital it would stay discontinued when they returned to the facility.
R12's Braden Scale dated 11/10/24 documents a score of 14, which indicates R12 is at moderate risk of
skin breakdown. R12's Braden Scale dated 11/24/24 documents a score of 12, which indicates R12 is at
high risk of skin breakdown.
R12's current Care Plan documents a Focus area of (R12) is at risk for skin breakdown r/t (related to)

if she did a physical assessment of R12's skin from 11/23/24 until 12/01/24 and if she completed the
11/24/24 Weekly Skin Check and V19 stated, I don't remember. I usually just ask the CNA if the residents
have any skin changes.
On 12/9/24 at 12:50 PM, this surveyor reviewed the 11/23/24 initial skin assessment and the 11/24/24
weekly skin assessment with V2 (DON) and she stated the 11/24/24 assessment looks like it was copied
and pasted from the 11/23/24 assessment.
R12's Skin Monitoring: Comprehensive CNA Shower Review documents dark bruising to R12's left arm,
heels as red, coccyx as dark red, a bandage to the inside of his inner right leg and a bandage on his left hip
with V17's (CNA) signature dated 11/30/24. This Review documents V2 (DON's) signature with a date of
11/30/24 with no assessment of the new areas documented under Nurse Assessment.
On 12/5/24 at 8:37 AM, V17 (CNA) stated R12's condition had declined when he returned from the hospital
on [DATE]. V17 stated R12 wasn't eating, drinking, and/or communicating as well. V17 stated she gave R12
a bed bath on 11/30/24 and found a bandage on his left hip that was looking a little rough. V17 did not
remember if there was a date on the bandage that would indicate when it was placed. V17 stated when she
rolled R12 over she noticed R12's coccyx was dark red, and his right hip was splotchy in color. V17 stated
she was concerned R12 was mottling and then she removed his socks and noted that both of his heels
were dark red as well. V17 stated there was a bandage on R12's inner thigh that didn't look as bad as the
one on his left hip, but she again didn't know if there was a date on it. V17 stated she didn't remove the
bandages, so she didn't know what his skin looked like under them. V17 stated she documented the areas
on the shower sheet and told V2 (Director of Nurses) who was working as her nurse that night. V17 stated
she told V2 she was worried R12 was dying and that his family needed to be notified. V17 stated she also
reported the change in R12's condition to the oncoming shift and her supervisor (V21/CNA Supervisor).
V17 stated R12 was sent out to the hospital two days later so she assumed someone heard her concerns.
When asked what interventions were in place to prevent the pressure injuries from worsening, V17 stated
there was a pillow under his left hip that was always there because of previous skin issues but that was the
only intervention in place. V17 stated R12 was clean and dry when she changed him and that he was
dependent on staff for all care.
On 12/5/24 at 1:48 PM, V21 (CNA Supervisor) stated V17 told her R12's skin looked bad, but she didn't
remember the date this occurred. V21 stated she asked V17 if she had reported it to the nurse and V17 told
her she reported it to V2 (DON).
On 12/5/24 at 12:04 PM, V2 (DON) stated she didn't remember signing off on the 11/30/24 shower sheet
that documented the new areas of skin breakdown for R12. V2 stated she was working the floor that day
and was told she had to get skin assessments on all the residents. V2 stated she attempted to get other
nurses to assist her with it and was not able to get anyone to assist. V2 stated V17 (CNA) helped her by
doing skin assessments and documenting them on the shower sheets. V2 stated she knew R12 was
declining, not getting out of bed, not eating, and not drinking. V2 stated, I am really pi**ed off at myself and
the building because I had zero help except for the CNA's who can't make calls or write orders. It can't be
just me. I don't have any help at all. When asked if she ever assessed R12's skin, V2 stated, No. V2 stated
the skin assessments were done on Sunday 11/30/24 but she didn't sign them until Monday, December 01,
2024. V2 stated she wished V17 had told her on Friday, how bad R12's skin was. When asked to clarify if
R12's skin was assessed on Friday 11/29 or Saturday 11/30, V2 stated they were working midnight shift,
and she wasn't sure if it was before or after midnight. V2 stated it was miscommunicated and they missed it.
V2 stated if she had done R12's skin assessment she would have notified the physician and obtained
orders for treatments. V2 stated they recognized

asked what interventions were implemented to prevent pressure ulcers from developing, V24 stated they
were turning and repositioning R12 and using pillows for support. V24 stated she was aware of the areas of
skin breakdown on R12, and he had them for probably a couple of weeks.

she did not. V5 stated one of the nurse's was wanting to set up a cart for them so oral care would be offered
when the residents got up. When asked if she ever provided oral care for R12, V5 stated she didn't. V5
stated it was hard to provide care for R12 because he would refuse.
On 12/5/24 at 11:16 AM, when asked about oral care, V18 (RN) stated it was an issue. V18 stated for
Christmas she bought rolling carts and was going to have them put their morning care supplies on the cart.
V18 stated she had a concern oral care wasn't being provided but it had been identified as an issue and a
plan was in place to attempt to improve it.
On 12/5/24 at 11:47 AM, V20 (Family Member) stated he had concerns about the care R12 was provided at
the facility. V20 stated he was told by the nurse at the hospital R12's bandages/treatments were not
changed after he left the hospital on [DATE] and the areas were worse. V20 stated he also had concerns
R12 wasn't getting good oral care because every time he would go to the facility his lips were always dry
and chapped and R12 was always thirsty.

on his tongue could be food or cancer but he wasn't able to tell from the pictures and did not elaborate
further on why oral care was important.
On 12/18/24 at 3:00 PM, V39 (Physician) stated she provided care to R12 during his hospital stay
beginning on 12/01/24. V39 stated R12 had been discharged from the hospital about a week (11/23/24)
prior and when he returned to the hospital on [DATE], he had more pressure ulcers that had developed
while at the facility. V39 stated when R12 was discharged from the hospital on [DATE] they had
discontinued the Haldol and Clonazepam. V39 stated the facility continued to give R12 those medications.
V39 stated those medications caused somnolence which in turn caused R12 to not eat and/or drink the
way he should have. V39 stated this caused R12 to end up back in the hospital with dehydration. V39 stated
R12 wasn't turned and repositioned while at the facility which led to R12 developing more pressure ulcers.
V39 stated R12 was not provided oral care for probably 5-6 days leading to R12's tongue having the crusty
build up on it that is evidenced in the photos that were taken at the hospital. V39 stated she considered
these failures by the facility to be neglect.
According to the National Library of Medicine found at A preventive care approach for oral health in nursing
homes: a qualitative study of healthcare workers' experiences - PMC .Studies have reported that poor oral
health affects older adults' wellbeing and is associated with issues pertaining to pain and problems with
eating, swallowing and social interactions [3]. Impaired oral health can also have a negative impact on
general health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and it can lead to malnutrition and
aspiration pneumonia

from the hospital. V18 stated she attempted to do a skin assessment, but he was resisting, and she didn't
want to cause him distress. V18 stated she did see the dressings that had been applied at the hospital and
looked under them and didn't see any open areas. V18 stated she meant to put an order in to remove and
replace them every three days and just forgot to do it. When asked what interventions were implemented to

she assessed any other skin on R12 and she stated, No, I just looked at his arm. V19 stated they have
another nurse who does all the treatments for south side. This surveyor reviewed with V19 that R12 wasn't
located on that side and V19 stated she thought he was. This surveyor then asked V19 if she did a physical
assessment of R12's skin from 11/23/24 until 12/01/24 and if she completed the 11/24/24 Weekly Skin

On 12/9/24 at 12:50 PM, this surveyor reviewed the 11/23/24 initial skin assessment and the 11/24/24
weekly skin assessment with V2 (DON) and she stated the 11/24/24 assessment looks like it was copied

splotchy in color. V17 stated she was concerned R12 was mottling and then she removed his socks and
noted that both of his heels were dark red as well. V17 stated there was a bandage on R12's inner thigh
that didn't look as bad as the one on his left hip, but she again didn't know if there was a date on it. V17
stated she didn't remove the bandages, so she didn't know what his skin looked like under them. V17 stated
she documented the areas on the shower sheet and told V2 (Director of Nurses) who was working as her
nurse that night. V17 stated she told V2 she was worried R12 was dying and that his family needed to be
notified. V17 stated she also reported the change in R12's condition to the oncoming shift and her
supervisor (V21/CNA Supervisor). V17 stated R12 was sent out to the hospital two days later so she
assumed someone heard her concerns. When asked what interventions were in place to prevent the
pressure injuries from worsening, V17 stated there was a pillow under his left hip that was always there
because of previous skin issues but that was the only intervention in place. V17 stated R12 was clean and
dry when she changed him and that he was dependent on staff for all care.
On 12/5/24 at 1:48 PM, V21 (CNA Supervisor) stated V17 told her R12's skin looked bad, but she didn't
remember the date this occurred. V21 stated she asked V17 if she had reported it to the nurse and V17 told
her she reported it to V2 (DON).
On 12/5/24 at 12:04 PM, V2 (DON) stated she didn't remember signing off on the 11/30/24 shower sheet
that documented the new areas of skin breakdown for R12. V2 stated she was working the floor that day
and was told she had to get skin assessments on all the residents. V2 stated she attempted to get other
nurses to assist her with it and was not able to get anyone to assist. V2 stated V17 (CNA) helped her by
doing skin assessments and documenting them on the shower sheets. V2 stated she knew R12 was
declining, not getting out of bed, not eating, and not drinking. V2 stated, I am really pi**ed off at myself and
the building because I had zero help except for the CNA's who can't make calls or write orders. It can't be
just me. I don't have any help at all. When asked if she ever assessed R12's skin, V2 stated, No. V2 stated
the skin assessments were done on Sunday 11/30/24 but she didn't sign them until Monday, December 01,
2024. V2 stated she wished V17 had told her on Friday, how bad R12's skin was. When asked to clarify if
R12's skin was assessed on Friday 11/29 or Saturday 11/30, V2 stated they were working midnight shift,
and she wasn't sure if it was before or after midnight. V2 stated it was miscommunicated and they missed it.
V2 stated if she had done R12's skin assessment she would have notified the physician and obtained
orders for treatments. V2 stated they recognized there was an issue and have put things in place to make it
better. V2 stated they are checking each morning during clinical rounds to make sure skin assessments are
being done. V2 stated R12 should have had a head-to-toe assessment on 11/23/24 when he returned from
the hospital and again before he went back to the hospital on [DATE].
On 12/5/24 at 11:16 AM, V18 (Registered Nurse) stated she followed R12 closely even when she wasn't his
nurse. V18 stated he wasn't eating well, and his oxygen dependence was increasing. V18 stated R12 didn't
start showing skin breakdown until 11/30/24 and she was working on the other side that day. V18 stated
she told his nurse she would be over there the next day and would look at him then.
On 12/09/24 at 10:18 PM, V24 (CNA) stated she provided care to R12 between 11/23/24 and 12/01/24.
V24 stated R12 was incontinent of bowel and bladder and was not able to turn and reposition himself.
When asked what interventions were implemented to prevent pressure ulcers from developing, V24 stated
they were turning and repositioning R12 and using pillows for support. V24 stated she was aware of the
areas of skin breakdown on R12, and he had them for probably a couple of weeks.

Clonazepam Tablet 0.5 MG, give 0.5 mg by mouth three times a day for anxiety Resident's medication was
dc'd (discontinued) at the hospital. Reaching out for clarification on medication.
R12's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 11/01/24 to 11/30/24 documents an order for

11/24-11/30/24 and at 2:00 PM 11/26-11/30/24. This same MAR documents the Clonazepam was held at

administered 20 times and held three times. This same MAR documents an order for Haldol 5 mg to be
administered at 9:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 9:00 PM with initials documented indicating R12 was administered
Haldol at each dose time from 11/23/24 to 11/30/24.
On 12/18/24 at 3:00 PM, V39 (Physician) stated she provided care to R12 during his hospital stay
beginning on 12/01/24. V39 stated when R12 was discharged from the hospital on [DATE] they had
discontinued the Haldol and Clonazepam. V39 stated the facility continued to give R12 those medications.
On 12/16/24 at 12:37 PM, V18 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated she was responsible for readmitting R12 to
the facility after his return from the hospital on [DATE]. V18 stated she charted the Haldol and Clonazepam
had been discontinued in the progress notes. V18 stated when she returned to work the next day, she
noticed they were still active on R12's medication list so she held them waiting for clarification. V18 stated
she spoke with the night shift nurse (V19/RN) who said she had taken care of it and the medications were
reinstated so she assumed the physician had given an order to resume them.
On 12/28/24 at 10:00 AM, V19 (RN) stated V18 was the day shift nurse when R12 returned from the
hospital, and she (V19) was the oncoming night shift nurse. V19 stated V18 reported to her R12's
medications were discontinued by the hospital. V19 stated R12 doesn't have any medications ordered on
night shift other than Tylenol. V19 stated she did not call the physician to clarify the medication orders from
the hospital discharge. V19 stated she wouldn't have had a reason to look at those medications and/or
orders since R12 didn't take medications on her shift and V18 had reported to her they were discontinued.
On 12/4/24 at 2:35 PM, V5 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) stated mid-November, R12 stopped eating,
started refusing care, and became a two person assist. V5 stated it was a change in R12's condition and it
worsened when he came back from the hospital on [DATE]. V5 stated R12 would get up for meals before he
went to the hospital and when he came back, he would barely eat and/or drink and even stopped yelling
down the halls. V5 stated she reported this to an unknown nurse, and she thought the nurse assessed R12
and documented it.
On 12/9/24 at 12:50 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nurses) stated the Haldol and Clonazepam were started
because R12 had extreme behaviors. V2 stated after it was discontinued at the hospital, she assumed V15
(Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner/Psych NP) had resumed the order when he returned to the facility and that
was why he was still getting the medications.
On 12/9/24 at 1:02 PM, V15 (Psych NP) stated the facility did not notify her R12 had been to the hospital
and/or that the medication had been discontinued by the hospital physicians. V15 stated she looked back at
her communication with the facility, and she got a message R12 needed a refill on his Clonazepam but was
never notified by the facility the medication had been discontinued. V15 stated

she hadn't seen R12 since 10/24/24 and her expectations would be that if a medication were discontinued
while the resident was at the hospital it would stay discontinued when they returned to the facility.
On 12/11/24 at 8:14 AM, V15 (Psych NP) stated she did not have a diagnosis of schizophrenia documented
in her records for R12. V15 stated she wasn't able to give him a diagnosis of schizophrenia since he wasn't
able to give her a history documenting he had been diagnosed with it in his past. V15 stated her diagnoses
for R12 were anxiety disorder, mild cognitive impairment, and unspecified psychosis. V15 stated R12 has a
seventh-grade education which made it hard to diagnose an intellectual disability. V15 stated R12 was
having behaviors of yelling out, hitting himself, and suicidal ideations. V15 stated the facility called her and
asked for an order for Haldol and she told them she would order Clonazepam but not Haldol since he didn't
have a diagnosis of schizophrenia. V15 stated the facility sent her a physician progress note from another
physician dated 7/7/24 that documented a diagnosis of schizophrenia, so she ordered the Haldol for him.
