F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately code a Minimum Data Set for one of 12 residents (R11) reviewed for restraints on the sample list of 12. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: R11's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 1/2/24 documents R11 is alert and oriented, uses bed rails as a restraint daily and is independent with rolling side to side. On 3/11/24 at 9:35 AM, R11 was sitting up in the recliner in R11's room. R11 stated R11 does not use any restraints explaining, I'm able to walk independent down the hall and that R11 uses upper side rails so I (R11) can turn myself in bed. I (R11) want/need them so I (R11) don't have to ask for help. R11's Side Rail assessment dated [DATE] documents R11 uses 1/4 upper rails bilaterally per request to enable in repositioning. R11's Care Plan dated 1/15/24 documents R11 can change positions in bed with assist of one and prefers to use side rails on a daily basis to help with positioning. This care plan also documents R11 has signed the bed rail agreement and understands the risks of having them in place. On 3/11/24 at 3:04 PM, V3 MDS/Care Plan Coordinator stated R11 does not use any restraints, only side rails to aid in repositioning. V3 explained V3 coded them as a restraint on the MDS because V3 thought they had to be coded that way due to R11's use of side rails.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Base on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a fall risk assessment quarterly and failed to ensure safety equipment was in use during a transfer for one of one residents (R5) reviewed for falls on the sample list of 12. This failure resulted in R5 falling and sustaining a four centimeter laceration requiring seven sutures to the forehead and a fractured humerus. Findings Include: R5's Fall Risk Assessments dated 8/16/23 and 1/29/24 document R5 is a high risk for falls. On 3/12/24 at 10:40 AM, V3 MDS (Minimum Data Set)/CP (Care Plan) Coordinator stated fall risk assessments are to be completed upon admission, with significant changes and quarterly. V3 confirmed R5 only has an August and January assessment completed. V3 is unsure why one was not completed in November stating, that was before my time, but one should have been completed in November 2023. R5's MDS dated [DATE] documents R5 is alert and oriented, and requires substantial/maximal assistance when transferring from a sit to stand position and for chair/bed to chair transfers. On 3/11/24 at 9:41 AM, R5 was sitting up in a recliner with R5's right arm in sling. R5 stated R5 fell when transferring from the chair and sustained a fractured shoulder. R5's CP dated 1/29/24 documents R5 needs extensive assistance of one for transfers using a gait belt and walker and up to extensive assist of two using a gait belt (changed from assistance of 1 which was on the original care plan dated 8/17/23) and walker to ambulate and transfer. R5 is to be encouraged to walk during the day, and staff are to bring a wheelchair behind R5 for long distances so that R5 can take a break if needed. R5 has a history of knees buckling so please be cautious of this during ambulation and transfers. R5's Progress Notes dated 2/16/24 by V9 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) documents at 1750 on 2/16/24, the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) notified the nurse that R5 had fallen in R5's room.

An undated and untitled summary into R5's fall by V2 DON (Director of Nursing) documents on 2/15/24 R5 was ambulating with the walker in R5's room and experienced a fall. R5 had painful ROM (Range of Motion) to the right upper extremity as well as a laceration to the right forehead. An x-ray of the right arm revealed a fracture of the proximal right humerus and the laceration was repaired with sutures. This summary also contained a witness statement from V10 CNA that documents V10 went into R5's room to let R5 know that the facility needed to collect a urine sample. V10 then set up the 145979 Page 3 of 11 145979 03/13/2024 Gibson Community Hsp Annex 430 East 19th Gibson City, IL 60936
F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few equipment in the bathroom. R5 had stood up out of the wheelchair and was beginning to ambulate to the bathroom.

The Hospital ED (Emergency Department) Summary Report dated 2/15/24 documents R5 had a fall at the nursing home due to R5's legs giving out and sustained a 4 cm (centimeter) jagged laceration above the right eyebrow and pain to the right upper extremity. R5's X-ray report dated 2/15/24 documents an impacted fracture of the proximal right humerus extending through the humeral neck and greater tuberosity. On 3/12/24 at 10:35 AM, V7 CNA stated prior to R5's fall, R5 was a one or two assist with gait belt, depending on the day, for transfers and a one assist with walker and gait belt for ambulation. V7 explained R5 would hold onto the walker and staff were to hold onto the gait belt. On 3/12/24 at 10:45 AM, V2 DON stated V10 did not have a gait belt on R5 at the time of the fall. V2 confirmed R5 has a history of falls but wants to be independent. On 3/13/24 at 1:45 pm R5 stated, staff normally use a gait belt with R5 during transfers but at the time of R5's fall, R5 did not have a gait belt in place. R5 stated at the time of the fall, R5 didn't realize staff had not placed a gait belt onto R5 and also did not realize that staff was not next to and holding onto R5 when R5 began to walk to the bathroom. The facility's Gait Belt Use Policy dated March 2023 documents gait belts are provided to secure a grasping surface to aid with resident transfer and ambulation and to prevent injury during transfer and ambulation and to prevent injury during transfer and ambulation of the resident. A gait belt must be used, if there are no contraindications, every time a resident is transferred or ambulated with assistance. When a gait belt is used, staff must have at least one hand on the gait belt supporting the resident at all times. 145979 Page 4 of 11 145979 03/13/2024 Gibson Community Hsp Annex 430 East 19th Gibson City, IL 60936
F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 complete psychotropic medication assessments prior to starting a psychotropic medication and failed to ensure as needed psychotropic medications were limited to 14 days or less for residents. This failure affects three of four residents (R7, R11 and R65) reviewed for unnecessary medications on the sample list of 12. Findings Include: The facility's Psychotropic Medication Policy dated 11/28/17 documents psychotropic medication is any drug that affects brain activity associated with mental processes and behavior. These medications include but are not limited to: antianxiety, antidepressant, antipsychotic and hypnotic. These medications are to be given to treat a specific condition/medical symptom that is diagnoses and documented in the clinical record. Specific condition/medical symptoms alone are not enough to justify pharmacological use. An evaluation must be done to determine other possible physical, mental, behavioral, psychosocial needs. Residents that are admitted with a psychotropic medication need an evaluation by the physician and consultant pharmacist for the use of the medication and whether a reduction or discontinuation can occur. Quarterly evaluation or more frequent if needed to determine if a reduction is warranted. Initial PRN (as needed) psychotropic medications should not exceed 14 days, unless the attending physician or prescribing practitioner believes that to extend beyond 14 days and has documented the rational and indicated the duration. 1. R11's Physician Order List dated 3/11/24 documents the following orders: Duloxetine {Antidepressant} 60 mg (milligrams) - one tablet daily ordered on 12/27/23 Hydroxyzine {Antihistamine} 50 mg - one tablet every 6 hours as needed for anxiety or itching ordered on 12/27/23 and discontinued on 1/30/24 (34 days later). R11's Psychotropic Medication Assessments for the above listed medications were completed on 1/9/24 (13 days after initiated). On 3/11/24 at 3:28 PM, V3 MDS (Minimum Data Set)/CP (Care Plan) Coordinator stated V3 is the one that completes psych med assessments and completes them quarterly when all of the assessments and MDS's are completed. V3 also stated V3 does not do assessments between times, even if a new medication is started. On 3/11/24 at 3:38 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) confirmed R11 did not have any other psychotropic medication assessments completed other than the one in R11's medical record. On 3/12/24 at 9:21 AM, V2 DON stated typically PRN (as needed) psychotropic medications are ordered for 14 days however since R11's Hydroxyzine isn't your typical psychotropic medicine, that is why it did not have a 14 day time frame. It went unnoticed until pharmacy told us that because it was being used to treat R11's anxiety, that we needed to limit it to 14 days. That is why it was discontinued. 2. R65's ongoing diagnoses listing documents diagnoses of Anxiety and Major Depressive Disorder. 145979 Page 5 of 11 145979 03/13/2024 Gibson Community Hsp Annex 430 East 19th Gibson City, IL 60936

On 3/12/24 at 9:15 AM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) confirmed R65 has not had a psychotropic medication assessment completed and stated R65 is a new admission. V2 explained, the facility typically does not do medication assessments when residents are admitted on psychotropic medications, only when they are started on them after admission to the facility. 3.) R7's New Prescription Request dated 2/12/24 documents R7's order for Lorazepam (antianxiety) 2 milligrams/milliliter (mg/ml) give 0.25 ml by mouth/sublingual every four hours as needed (PRN) for agitation/anxiety/restlessness and includes a stop date of 5/10/24. This stop date is not transcribed to R7's Lorazepam order in R7's electronic medical record prior to 3/12/24. R7's February and March 2024 Medication Administration Records document R7 received Lorazepam as needed 16 times between 2/10/24 and 3/8/24. On 3/12/24 at 9:16 AM V2 Director of Nursing stated antianxiety PRN orders are ordered for 14 days and then re-evaluated for continued use with a new stop date, unless otherwise ordered. V2 stated V2 has hospice provide documentation to extend the order past the 14 days, and has been struggling with hospice to provide this documentation for R7's PRN Lorazepam. V2 stated R7's PRN Lorazepam order is good through R7's next hospice certification date. V2 reviewed R7's PRN Lorazepam order and confirmed the order does not document a stop date. V2 stated V2 puts the stop date on V2's calendar when the order is due to be re-evaluated. At 9:29 AM V2 provided pharmacy documentation that R7's PRN Lorazepam order stop date is 5/10/24. V2 stated hospice has been faxing the prescription with the stop dates to the pharmacy and not to the facility. At 9:40 AM V2 stated V2 will add the May stop date to R7's PRN Lorazepam order. 145979 Page 6 of 11 145979 03/13/2024 Gibson Community Hsp Annex 430 East 19th Gibson City, IL 60936

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow their antimicrobial stewardship policy by failing to accurately document the status of obtaining residents urine cultures and identify/document organisms results. This failure affects five (R1, R2, R4, R5, R6) of eight residents reviewed for infection control in the sample list of 12. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The facility's Antimicrobial Stewardship policy with reviewed date May 2023 documents the purpose of this program is to ensure appropriate use of antimicrobials which includes selecting the appropriate antibiotic, dose, duration and route to decrease toxicity and antimicrobial resistance.

This policy documents laboratory personnel will guide the proper use of tests/results and assist in ensuring that laboratory reports will be used to support optimal antibiotic use; and infection control personnel will develop/implement and document facility wide infection surveillance, prevention, and control activities. The January 2024-March 2024 Monthly Infection Logs do not document organisms from culture results as instructed on the form. R1, R2, and R6 had Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in January, and no cultures were obtained for R2 and R6. These logs do not document if R1 had urine cultures or the organism identified for UTIs on 1/10/24 and 12/31/23. R4, R5, and R6 had UTIs in February. These logs do not document cultures were obtained for R4 and does not document the organism from R5's urine culture.
