On 8/7/24 at 10:46 AM, V8 (Wound Care CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant) and V9 (CNA) were wearing gown and gloves to perform R97's incontinence care. R97 was instructed to roll toward V8. V8 assisted R97 with staying on his right side. R97 was wearing a gown that was open in the back. When R97 was turned, his back, buttock, scrotum and posterior legs were exposed. R97's door was open to the hallway. V7 (Wound Care Coordinator) was outside the door preparing his wound care supplies. At 10:50 AM, V7 entered the room and shut the door. After R97's care was completed, he said he wouldn't want people seeing him like that. R97 said that would be embarrassing.

R97's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed he had moderate cognitive dysfunction and was dependent on staff for rolling left and right. On 8/8/24 at 11:32 AM, V2 (DON - Director of Nursing) said the staff should ensure the door and privacy curtains are pulled to prevent the residents from being exposed. V2 said this is done for resident privacy and dignity. The facility's Incontinent and Perineal Care Policy reviewed 7/31/24 showed, It is the policy of the facility to provide perineal care to ensure cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent infection and skin irritation, and to observe the resident's skin condition.

V13 stated, We don't close her blinds because she doesn't like the dark room. Normally we would but for her we don't. R31 then stated, It bothers me a little bit that my blinds were open because I'm a modest person and I wouldn't want anyone seeing me without clothes on coming to their car. I asked her to close it, but she still left it part way open. On 8/8/24 at 11:11AM, V11 (Clinical Care Coordinator) stated, When staff are providing personal cares for a resident, they should be ensuring that the door, privacy curtain, and window curtains are all closed so there are no opportunities for their privacy to be violated. This would also be a dignity concern as our residents are from a generation where they are very modest. The facility's policy titled, Privacy and Dignity reviewed 6/6/24 showed, It is the facility's policy to ensure that resident's privacy and dignity is respected by the staff at all times .1. During care that requires privacy such as incontinence care, the resident will be placed in bed and the privacy curtain will be drawn to provide full visual privacy. If the privacy curtain is not sufficient to provide full visual privacy, the combination of the privacy curtain and privacy screen will be used .door may also be closed to provide additional layer or privacy during care .

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure physician prescribed medications were administered as ordered for 1 of 2 residents (R1) reviewed for medication administration in the sample of 32. The findings include: R1's face sheet printed on 8/8/24 shows diagnosis including but not limited to neuropathy, heart disease, asthma, schizoaffective disorder, dysphagia, gout, anemia, depression, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, and functional quadriplegia.

They are my 9:00 medicines. I asked her to just leave them. They do it all the time. R1's MAR (medication administration record) was reviewed and showed 12 assorted medications were signed off as been given at his 9:00 AM medication pass. On 8/7/24 at 2:24 PM, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated residents are allowed to take their own medication if they have been assessed to be safe. They need a safety assessment, physician order to leave at bedside, and care plan interventions in place before they can self-administer their own medications. R1's EMAR (electronic medical record) was reviewed, and no documentation of the required forms were found. On 8/8/24 at 10:10 AM, V2 reviewed R1's EMAR and verified the required safety assessment, physician order, and care plan were not present. V2 said they are important to ensure residents can properly manage their own medications. The facility's Self-Administration of Medication policy revision dated 6/6/24 states: 1. The IDT will assign a staff to evaluate resident's ability to safely administer medication. A Self-Administration Evaluation will be filled out to determine capability. A return demonstration will be done to accurately evaluate resident's ability after the health teaching. 2. The resident may store the medication at bedside if there is a physician order to keep it at bedside.

These failures apply to 4 of 9 residents reviewed for infection control in the sample of 32. Residents Affected - Some The findings include: 1. R95's electronic face sheet printed on 8/8/24 showed R95 has diagnoses including but not limited to fracture of head and neck of right femur, sepsis, osteomyelitis, pressure ulcer of sacral region, stage 4, flaccid hemiplegia, post laminectomy syndrome, and cord compression.

I just checked all of the signs earlier this week so I have no idea how she couldn't have the right sign unless someone moved it.
