On 5/09/23 at 1:10 PM V3 RN stated, I found out (R53) admitted to us in January 2023 and from taking a look at the record, (R53) had catheter issues at the other nursing facility he came from, we did not document that we identified the (penile wound) until February 2023. V3 stated, I think the April Urologist appointment was the first appointment that was available for (R53), I was not able to find any further documentation that the appointment has been rescheduled or if (V10) was notified. I saw the order for the Petroleum jelly was stopped on 2/14/23, I have no idea why. On 5/9/23 at 1:15 PM during wound care observations, R53's penis was fillet opened from the tip of the urethral opening down to the scrotum. The wound bed had light pink tissue. When asked R53's if the penile wound was sore (causing pain), R53 replied yes, more than you know. On 5/10/23 at 4:00 PM V10 Wound Physician stated, urethral splits are caused from chronic long term catheter use, the friction of the catheter rubbing causes it, they start out as small slits and can get bigger, when patients get these type of things they need to see a urologist. (R53's) was pretty stable for a long time and recently got worse. V10 confirmed R53 needs to be seen by a urologist. V10 stated, patients with these need to have the catheter repositioned frequently and petroleum jelly applied. On 5/10/23 at 2:00 PM V3 RN stated, the only time we go over (V10's) recommendations with (V7) is if it is medications, otherwise we start the the other recommendations. The petroleum jelly and the urology consult should have been initiated. I spoke to (V9 Licensed Practical Nurse- Wound Nurse) and she said they had applied the petroleum jelly for a few days and it was causing more drainage to the open area, so they discontinued it, I dont know if it was a miscommunication or what, I did not see a follow up or documentation if (V10) had been notified. On 5/10/23 at 12:00 PM V2 DON stated, catheter bags should be placed on the bottom of the bed rail, not on the floor. The facility's policy, with a revision date of November 2020, titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown - Clinical Protocol documents, Treatment/Management: 1- They physician will authorize pertinent orders related to wound treatments. 2- The physician will help identify medical interventions related to wound management. The wound nurse/designee will initiate a care plan which will include the location/type of area in the problem statement, a realistic goal, and any/all interventions that are pertinent to the treatment and healing of the wound. The facility's policy, with a revision date of September 2014, titled Urinary Catheter Care documents, Infection Control: 2-b: Be sure the catheter tubing and drainage bag are kept off the floor. Steps in the procedure: 13- With nondominant hand separate the labia of the female resident or retract the foreskin of the uncircumcised male resident. 15- For female: Use a washcloth with warm water and soap to cleanse the labia. Use one area of the washcloth for each downward, cleansing stroke. Change the position of the washcloth with each downward stroke. Next, change the position of the washcloth and cleanse around the urethral meatus. 17- Use a clean washcloth with warm water and soap to cleanse and rinse the catheter from insertion site to approximately four inches outward. The following items should be documented in the residents medical record: 1- The date and time that catheter care was given. 2.) On 5/08/23 at 9:39 AM R52 was lying in bed. R52's urinary catheter collection bag was touching the floor, and not secured to the bed. R52 stated R52 has had the catheter for several months and it was inserted after admission.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to identify significant weight loss, notify the physician and Registered Dietitian, implement nutritional interventions, complete nutritional assessments, and record nutritional supplement intake for two (R13, R16) of four residents reviewed for nutrition in the sample list of 39. These failures resulted in R13 experiencing an additional significant weight loss of 6.65 % in one month.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: The facility's Impaired Nutrition/Unplanned Weight Loss Clinical Protocol revised October 2020 documents the nursing department are responsible for monitoring resident weights. Significant weight loss is identified as a loss of at least 5% in one month, 7.5 % in 3 months, and 10 % in 6 months. The physician will review possible causes of weight loss. Interventions will be implemented to address weight loss. The Dietitian and Physician will determine the resident's diet including if nutritional supplements need to be added. Monitoring weight loss/nutrition includes evaluating the care planned interventions, evaluating the resident's response to the interventions, determine weight monitoring intervals, identifying additional risk factors such as pressure ulcers, fever, or acute illness, and observing/reporting significant weight loss. The facility's Nutritional Assessment policy revised September 2011 documents nutritional assessments will be conducted upon admission and with changes in condition that include a risk for impaired nutrition. These assessments will be used to develop interventions to address the resident's risk for impaired nutrition. The Dietitian's component of this assessment will include the estimated calorie, protein, nutrient and fluid needs, and if the resident's intake is adequate to meet nutritional needs. 1. R13's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documents R13 has short and long term memory impairment, had a significant weight loss within the last month, and is not on a prescribed weight loss regimen. R13's Care Plan revised 4/25/23 documents R13 had significant weight loss noted 1/9/23 and 4/5/23. Interventions dated 1/7/22 include to notify the family and physician of significant weight loss, review diet, intakes, disease process, and behaviors to determine cause, and the dietitian should assess the resident annually and as needed to ensure needs are met. R13's Care Plan dated 7/2/19 documents R13 is at risk for nutritional deficit and includes an intervention revised on 5/4/23 that documents the dietitian evaluated R13 on 2/10/23 with no recommendations, on 3/14/23 with no recommendations, and on 4/28/23 with recommendations. R13's dated 5/10/23 documents R13 weighed 169.2 pounds (lbs.) on 12/1/22, 163.6 on 1/9/23, 153.8 on 1/31/23 (5.64 % loss since 1/9/23), 160 on 2/7/23, 159 on 3/2/23, 156.2 on 3/8/23, 153 on 3/16/23, and 150.4 on 4/3/23 (5.41% loss since 3/2/23). There are no recorded weights again until 5/4/23 when R13 weighed 140.4 lbs (an additional 6.65 % loss since 4/3/23, and a 17% loss since 12/1/22).

frozen nutritional supplement is ordered for R13's weight loss. V25 stated V25 evaluated R13 on 2/10/23 and V25 did not order any new interventions since the frozen nutritional supplement was implemented two days prior by the physician. V25 evaluated R13 in March and R13's weight had stabilized. V25 did not evaluate R13 again until 4/28/23 and recommended the addition of a nutritional shake twice daily. V25 stated V25 did not receive notification in April of R13's significant weight loss until 4/28/23. Additional supplements may have prevented R13's weight loss and confirmed not receiving the frozen nutritional supplement may have affected R13's weight. V25 stated if residents are trending weight loss V25 would expect the facility to follow their weight monitoring policy. In the past V25 has made recommendations to monitor weights weekly, but V25 recently stopped doing that because V25 wasn't sure it was something V25 should be doing. On 5/09/23 at 3:36 PM V2 Director of Nursing stated weights are obtained monthly unless otherwise ordered. If the resident triggers for a significant weight loss then we notify the physician and dietitian. V25 rounded on 4/26 and 4/28/23 during April. Per R13's care plan, V25 evaluated R13 on 2/10/23 with no new recommendations, 3/14/23 with no new recommendations, and on 4/28/23 with the recommendation to add nutritional shakes twice daily. V2 reviewed monthly dietitian reports and stated V2 did not see documentation that R13 was evaluated by a dietitian in January 2023. On 5/1/23 we increased the frozen nutritional supplement and stopped the shakes due to R13 not liking the shakes. The nurses are responsible for documenting the amount consumed of each supplement. On 5/10/23 at 10:25 AM V2 stated we ran a weight report on 1/24/23 and R13 did not flag for weight loss at that time. The next weight report was not done until 2/16/23 and R13 triggered a significant weight loss. V2 stated weight reports are only done on a monthly basis and that is how R13's significant weight loss on 1/31/23 was missed. There is no documentation that R13's January significant weight loss was reported to the physician and dietitian, and confirmed there were no new nutritional interventions implemented until February 2023.

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 record review and interview the facility failed to identify targeted behaviors, implement interventions, complete assessments, attempt gradual dose reductions and/or justify the duplicity of psychotropic medications for four residents (R52, R53, R66, and R75) of five residents reviewed for psychotropic medications in a sample list of 39 residents.
Findings include: The facility's Psychotropic Medication Policy and Procedure dated March 2021 documents to determine underlying causes of behaviors to implement appropriate treatment including environmental, medical, and/or behavioral interventions. The physician should document the rationale and diagnosis for psychotropic use and identify targeted symptoms. Gradual dose reductions will be attempted in two separate quarters and annually thereafter unless clinically contraindicated. The interdisciplinary team will review the use of psychotropic medications quarterly and determine targeted behaviors and adverse effects. 1.) R66's Physician's Order Summary printed 5/10/23 includes the following orders for psychotropic medications: 1. Risperdal (Antipsychotic) 0.5 milligrams. Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day related to Unspecified Dementia with Behavioral Disturbance (Originally ordered 2/22/22), 2. Seroquel (Antipsychotic) 50 milligrams 0.5 tablet by mouth one time a day related to Unspecified Dementia with Behavioral Disturbance (Originally ordered 5/10/22), and 3. Lexapro (antidepressant) 10 milligrams Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to Other Specific Depressive Episodes. (Originally ordered 3/9/22) R66's medical record documents psychotropic assessments dated 11/22/22 and 3/15/23. R66's medical record does not contain assessments for the quarters prior to this. R66's medical record does not contain documentation of tracking of targeted resident specific behaviors for R66 or the interventions attempted for behaviors. R66's medical record does not document a justification for the use of duplicative antipsychotic medication. On 5/10/23 at 1:05 PM, V2 Director of Nursing verified R66's duplicative antipsychotics had not been addressed and that R66 had missing quarterly assessments. 2.) R75's Physician's Order Summary printed 5/11/23 includes the following orders for psychotropic medications: 1. Risperidone (antipsychotic) 0.25 milligrams, Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day related to Vascular Dementia, Unspecified Severity with Other Behavioral disturbance, 2. Sertraline HCl (Hydrochloride) 50 milligrams, Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to Depression Unspecified. R75's medical record does not contain documentation of tracking of R75's targeted resident specific behaviors or interventions attempted for behaviors. On 5/10/23 at 1:00 PM, V16 Social Service Director a verified that she had been tracking diagnoses rather than resident specifics behaviors. V16 stated Social Service is a fairly new roll for me. I was not aware we have to track resident specific behaviors.

Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: R50's May 2023 Order Summary documents an order dated 7/9/21 to administer Azithromycin (antibiotic) 250 milligrams by mouth three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). R50's Care Plan revised 9/21/22 documents in the problem category that R50 receives a prophylactic antibiotic for COPD and in the interventions it lists that R50 receives the prophylactic antibiotic to prevent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). R50's Hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] documents R50 receives Azithromycin three times weekly to prevent bronchitis. There is no documentation that the use of this antibiotic was assessed or re-evaluated for appropriate use. On 05/09/23 at 2:59 PM V3 Infection Preventionist stated the facility uses McGreer's criteria (infection control resource) to determine appropriate use of antibiotics and V3 notifies the provider if appropriate criteria is not met. R50 receives prophylactic Azithromycin to prevent UTIs and confirmed COPD is not an appropriate diagnosis to warrant the use of an antibiotic. On 5/10/23 at 9:11 AM V3 stated R50 admitted to the facility with the Azithromycin order and it was prescribed to prevent bronchitis. V3 stated prior to yesterday, there was no assessment to evaluate appropriate use of this antibiotic in R50's medical record. The facility's Antibiotic Stewardship policy dated 1/29/19 documents the facility will closely monitor the use of antibiotics. When antibiotics are prescribed, the order will include the duration for treatment with a start and stop date. The facility will utilize the McGreer's Definition of Infection, and this will also be used to notify the physician. The Infection Control nurse/designee is responsible for reviewing antibiotic use. This policy does not reference the use of prophylactic antibiotics. This policy includes the undated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention brochure titled Get Smart Know When Antibiotics Work, documents: To avoid the threat of antibiotic-resistant infections, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that you avoid taking unnecessary antibiotics.
