soap and water when they are visibly soiled, before or after eating or handling food, after using the
restroom and after caring for a resident with known or suspected clostridium Difficile or norovirus infection.
Standard Precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of blood borne and other significant
pathogens. Standard Precautions apply to all contact with any blood, body fluid, secretion and excretion,
except for sweat, from any human being, regardless of diagnosis or presumed infection status. Standard
Precautions means that contact with any blood, body fluid, secretion and excretion except for sweat should
be avoided. This also includes any items soiled with body substances or fluids. Wear gloves when touching
or handling: Blood; All body fluids, secretions, and excretions, except sweat, regardless of whether they
contain visible blood; Non-intact skin; Mucous membranes; Surfaces and equipment visibly soiled by these
body substances . Gloves should be removed promptly after use and hands should be washed or sanitized
to avoid transfer of microorganisms to other individuals or the environment.
The facility's Clean Wound Care Treatment Technique, dated 10/11/24, documents guidelines of cleaning a
wound and applying dry dressing. These guidelines document the following: Perform hand hygiene and put
on PPE, if indicated; Prepare for dressing change; Put on clean, disposable gloves and remove old

Obtain a doctor's order to admit a resident and ensure the resident is under a doctor's care.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Hospice providers provided the facility with written
physician orders for one of three residents (R42) reviewed for Hospice services in a sample of 38 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The Hospice's Agreement for Nursing Facility, Inpatient and Inpatient Respite Services dated [DATE] stated
Appendix C Facility Services 1.4 Physician Orders: To the extent permitted by applicable law, rules, and
regulations, (Hospice) nurses may receive and transcribe physician orders in the Facility's clinical records
for any Residential Hospice Patient. Such physician orders will be countersigned by Facility's Director of
Nursing or other Facility nurse.
The Physician Orders-Obtaining and Transcribing policy dated [DATE] documented 1. All orders for
medications, tests and treatments shall be written on the physician's order form and signed by the
physician or physician extender unless entered into EHR (Electronic Health Record).
R42's Care Plan documented R42 was admitted to Hospice services on [DATE] with a terminal prognosis
related to Advancing Alzheimer's Disease and Severe Protein Malnutrition. R42 expired on [DATE].
On [DATE] at 10:30 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated after R42 expired that the Facility requested R42's
Hospice records from the Hospice Agency. V1 stated We didn't have much information (Hospice
documentation) in our records.
The Hospice record (received post R42's expiration) dated [DATE] documented adjusted meds
(medications); [DATE] cut Morphine (medication for pain and restlessness) dose to half 2.5 mg (milligram);
[DATE] Aspiration Risk, increase Morphine 0.125 ml (milliliter) every four hours and Morphine 0.125 ml
every three hours as needed; [DATE] discontinue oral medications; and [DATE] Morphine every four hours
scheduled, as needed Ativan increased to every four hours.
R42's Order Summary did not include medication order changes dated [DATE]; did not include an order for
Aspiration Risks on [DATE]; did not include an order to discontinue oral medications on [DATE]; nor an
order to crush Ativan (antianxiety medication) with instructions on how to administer the medication.
The Medication Administration Record dated [DATE] through [DATE] documented R42 received Ativan and
Morphine orally [DATE] through [DATE].
On [DATE] at 2:22 PM, V6 (Hospice Nurse) stated R42's Ativan should have been crushed, mixed with
water and administered between the gum and cheek for optimal absorption. V6 stated When a resident
cannot swallow anymore, the facility nurses should be administering medications between the gum and
cheek. Orders are given to the facility nurse's verbally and it's up to them (nurses) to enter the orders into
their (facility's) EMR (Electronic Medical Record) and ensure nurses know what routes to use when
administering medications.
On [DATE] at 11:47 AM, V26 (Registered Nurse) stated Hospice orders are received verbally from the
Hospice nurse and the Facility's nurse enterers the order into the Electronic Health Record. V26

stated orders are every once in a while faxed to the facility but rarely and the Hospice Nurses do not leave
their Progress Notes or Plan of Cares at the facility.
On [DATE] at 12:00 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the Hospices sometimes write the orders and
sometimes verbally give the orders. V2 agreed the facility nurses are taking verbal orders from the Hospice
nurses without written documentation of the order and who the prescribing physician was.
On [DATE] at 1:28 PM, V5 (Registered Nurse) stated I didn't know to crush (R42's) Ativan and how to
administer it. The (physician) orders did not include an order that (R42) was not to have medications orally
and we don't have records (Hospice) available to verify what the Hospice has changed. The Hospice nurses
do not have access to our records (Electronic Medical Record/EHR). I've entered orders (into the EHR) the
Hospice nurse has given me verbally, but I now understand that is not safe. They should be in writing. That's

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure facility staff were educated and
competent in providing Hospice and End of Life Care for Hospice Residents for nine of nine residents (R14,
R23, R40, R43, R51, R52, R61, R62, R65) reviewed for Hospice services in a sample of 38 residents
Findings include:
The Hospice Agreement for Nursing Facility, Inpatient and Inpatient Respite Care Services dated 8/10/16
documented 4.6 Experience and Competence. It and its employees and personnel providing services
pursuant to this agreement are (i) familiar with the administrative and patient care needs associated with
hospice patients, (ii) competent in the care of terminally ill persons and in recordkeeping, and (iii) otherwise
fully capable of performing its and their obligations hereunder in accordance with generally recognized
professional standards of care.
The facility's current Matrix 802 documents R14, R23, R40, R43, R51, R52, R61, R62, and R65 receive
Hospice care.
On 2/26/25 at 12:10 PM, V5 (Registered Nurse/ Date of Hire: 5/14/24) and V9 (Licensed Practical
Nurse/Date of Hire: 1/15/25) Training Transcripts did not indicate Hospice or End of Life education had been
completed.
On 2/26/25 at 12:10 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated I thought End of Life training was completed on all new
hires, but I don't see that it was assigned or completed for either of these two (V5 and V9) upon their hiring.
On 2/27/25 at 1:28 PM, V5 stated she had not received Hospice or End of Life training since her date of
hire.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document clinical rationale for extending PRN (as
needed) psychotropic medication for one (R6) of two residents reviewed for psychotropic medications in a
sample of 38.
Findings include:
The facility's Psychotropic Medication Management System policy, dated 10/26/24, documents (Named
facility) has developed a system to ensure a resident is not given psychotropic medications unless a
comprehensive assessment identifies clear indications and parameters for their use, based upon regulatory
compliance and best practice. With administration of a psychotropic medication, the following will be
documented: PRN orders are limited to 14 days unless the prescriber believes it is appropriate to extend
the order beyond 14 days and documents their rationale in the clinical record and indicates the duration for
the PRN order.
R6's current Physician Order Statement/POS, dated 2/5/25, documents an order for Alprazolam
(psychotropic) oral tablet 0.5mg (milligrams) give one tablet by mouth as needed for Anxiety for 30 Days
TID (three times per day).
On 2/27/25, at 1:45pm, V16 Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN/Resource Nurse stated We use the 14 days only
if there is no stop date. (R6's) order was written by the prescriber to extend out to 30 days instead of 14.
When asked if there is a written rationale V16 stated No, it is not written and it is probably so that it doesn't
drop off (after 14 days).
R6's clinical record does not include a documented rationale for R6's Alprazolam to be extended to 30
days.
