F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 provide a resident with a functioning over bed light and failed to provide an adaptive call/light button. This applies to 2 (R26, R31) of 2 residents reviewed for accommodation of needs in a sample of 19. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. R26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that include displace comminuted fracture of shaft of humerus of right arm, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, polyneuropathy, intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, secondary neoplasm of right lung, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism, muscle weakness, depression, and anxiety. On 07/23/24 at 11:42 AM, R26's call light was hanging on the left side of her bed near the floor out of her reach. R26 stated her hands are paralyzed and she has macular degeneration. R26 stated she has difficulty pressing the call light button. R26 stated she requires assistance with everything, but she doesn't think the staff is completely aware of her care needs. R26 stated she has waited as long as three hours after pressing her call light but when staff come in the room, they say they did not hear her call light. On 07/23/24 at 12:24 PM, V15 Family Member stated R26's call button works but R26 does not have the dexterity to make it work. V15 stated he noticed a few days ago R26 was unable to activate the call light. V15 stated R26 has neuropathy in her hands and macular degeneration so R26 was unable to make the call button work. On 07/23/24 at 12:24 PM, V5 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated the facility did have another type of call device that would be accessible for R26's use. R26's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 7/9/24 shows she is cognitively intact with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) scores of 15. R26's MDS documents she requires substantial / maximal staff assistance with toileting. R26's care plan dated 7/5/24 states R26 has an ADL self-care performance deficit and limitations in physical mobility. R26 requires assistance with ADL functioning related to impaired mobility, weakness, and debility secondary to hospitalization for a right humerus fracture and hyponatremia. R26 has impaired vision function intervention keep call light and other key items within reach. 2. R31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that includes displaced intertrochanteric fracture of left femur, pleural effusion, muscle weakness. Atrial fibrillation, osteoporosis, anxiety, chronic kidney disease, insomnia, history of liver transplant, immunodeficiency, and type 2 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0558 diabetes. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm R31's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 7/16/24 shows she is cognitively intact with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) scores of 13. Residents Affected - Few On 07/23/24 at 1:36 PM, R31 stated her over bed light was broken and would not turn off. There was no string or button to turn the light off. R31 stated the light fixture was covered with a sheet by staff so she could get rest. R31 stated the light fixture broke two days after her admission. On 07/23/24 at 2:25 PM, V6 RN (Registered Nurse) stated she did not realize R31's over bed light was broken and would not turn off. V6 RN stated there are no repair requisitions. If something is not working, she will try to trouble shoot herself or call maintenance to notify them of the repair need. On 07/24/24 at 11:10 AM, V3 EVS (Director of Environmental Services) stated staff verbally notify him of repair request but are encouraged to use the tells system to report repair requests. V3 EVS stated he was not notified of R31's light fixture needing repair until the morning of 7/24/24. The computer requisition system is available to all staff in the facility. V3 stated staff should not have place a sheet over the light fixture as it could cause a fire. Staff should have informed him of the repair need when they knew about it because it would take all of five minutes to repair. On 07/25/24 at 2:02 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated the admitting nurse should assess what type of call light is appropriate for a resident. Sometimes we know what type of call device a resident will require before they arrive. Sometimes the resident will inform us they cannot activate the call light. The nursing staff should be doing an assessment to make sure the resident is able to activate the call light. We have enough pad type call devices if a resident was having difficulty activating the call light. If equipment is broken all staff are responsible for reporting it. Staff can either call repair request or enter the request in the computer. If something isn't working or breaks during their stay, we notify maintenance. If the light wasn't turning off and the resident couldn't sleep, we could have moved them to another room. The staff should not have placed a sheet over the light. The facility repair requisition for the broken overbed light was generated on 7/24/24 at 7:34 AM. The facility's policy Call Light -Ability to Use dated 01/2024 states the call light system is provided for the residents to communicate with staff. Resident will be evaluated for the ability to use the call light system on admission, quarterly and annually. If residents are determined to be physically unable to use call lights, alternative call buttons will be provided. Staff members will ensure call lights are within reach of a resident who is able to cognitively use a call light each time they leave the room. The facility's policy Reporting Maintenance Issues dated 04/2022 states all non-emergent maintenance related concerns will be logged into the requisition system in the electronic documentation system to add workorders. All emergency situations (electrical, flooding, alarms, structural damage) need to be reported immediately to the EVS director number posted at the nursing stations.

R26 stated the first time she saw staff was at 10:40 AM and she was not provided incontinence care at that time. R26 stated she had been in the same soiled undergarment since the previous night. On 07/23/24 at 11:56 AM, after surveyor request V5 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and V6 RN (Registered Nurse) assisted R26 with incontinence care. R26's gown, disposable undergarment, absorbent bed pad, transfer sheet and bottom sheet were saturated with urine. R26 had pink blanchable skin on her right elbow, left shoulder blade, right buttock, and bilateral heels. R26's left buttock was not blanchable.

On 07/25/24 at 2:02 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated incontinence care should be provided every two hours and as needed so residents are not soaking in urine. Urine causes your skin to break down and can contribute to the development of a urinary tract infection. If urine has soaked through the brief to the absorbent pad and sheet the resident had been left too long without being provided care. R26's MDS (Minimum Data Set) show she is cognitively intact with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) scores of 15. R26's MDS documents she requires substantial / maximal staff assistance with toileting. R26's care plan dated 7/5/24 states R26 has an ADL self-care performance deficit and limitations in physical mobility.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few R262's MAR (Medication Administration Record) for July 2024 showed Latanoprost Solution 0.005 % was not administered to the resident on 7/17/24. On 7/23/24 at 12:53 PM, V8 (RN-Registered Nurse) stated, R260 did not receive Trospium 20 mg BID (twice a day) for urinary incontinence, since admission as the medicine was not available in the cart. V8 (RN) stated, if any medicine is not available for any resident, the nurse on the unit has to follow up with the pharmacy. If they cannot get it, the DON gets it for them. On 7/25/24 at 12:37 PM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) stated, the medication for any new admission is made available as soon as possible, latest within less than 24 hours. V2 (DON) stated, facility also have pixies for commonly used medications as a back-up for new admissions. V2 (DON) stated, before the resident is discharged from the hospital, floor nurse gets report from the hospital and can check with the pharmacy if the medicine is available. If the resident is taking any specialty medicine, the nurse liaison, the admission director, the administrator, and the DON discuss the medicine required and make arrangements to make it available for the resident by the time resident arrives at the facility. V2 stated, she is not sure why the medicine got so delayed for R260. The floor nurse should have called the pharmacy & followed up as to why the medicine is not sent. If they have a hard time getting the medicine from the pharmacy, they should have reported and asked for help from any nursing managers. Also, the floor nurses should have informed the Physician sooner than what they did, which was 5 days later. On 7/25/24 at 12:55 PM, V2 (DON) stated, the fact that R262 did not get his eye drops is a mistake on the part of the nurse. It is not OK that R262 did not receive the medicine. It is a medication error and should not have happened. Facility policy on Medication Administration dated 04/2024 does not include the process of making the medications available to the residents on time.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to administer ordered intravenous antibiotics for residents with infections. Residents Affected - Few This applies to 2 of 4 residents (R3 and R44) reviewed for intravenous medications in a sample of 19. Findings include: 1. R3's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R3 was to be receiving vancomycin IV (intravenous) antibiotic for MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacteremia infection. On 7/25/2024 at 2:29 PM, V12 (Pharmacist) stated she was dosing R3's vancomycin IV antibiotic medication as ordered by his provider. V12 stated patients receiving vancomycin IV require their medication therapeutic blood levels to be closely monitored because if too high the medication could be toxic or if too low it could be nontherapeutic. V12 stated she determines a patient's target tr (trough) blood medication level range based on the type of infection being treated to ensure the medication is effective. V12 stated vancomycin IV dosages and frequencies are then adjusted based on the patient's tr results. V12 stated R3 had an order to start vancomycin IV 1.5 G (grams) every 3 days on 7/13/2024. V12 stated R3's EMR was reviewed, and it was noted R3 had not started on his antibiotic as ordered. V12 stated the facility was notified on 7/13/2024 of the recommendation to continue with the current order and to obtain a tr lab draw on 7/17/2024 AM prior to the administration. V12 stated on 7/16/2024 she reviewed R3's EMR and noted R3 last received his vancomycin medication on 7/14/2024 AM and had a tr level of 4.8 (low) on 7/16/2024. V12 said she notified the facility on 7/16/2024 to change the dose and start R3 on 1 G every 24 hours on 7/17/2024, R3's target tr goal range level was 12-18, and a need for tr lab draw on 7/19/2024 AM prior to the administration. Then V12 stated she reviewed R3's EMR on 7/23/2024 and noticed R3's tr level on 7/19/2024 was less than 3 (too low) and the vancomycin recommendation from 7/16/2024 was not carried out. V12 stated she was concerned because R3 was nontherapeutic for the treatment of his blood infection. V12 stated she contacted the facility on 7/23/2024 to clarify R3's vancomycin administration doses, and V13 (Registered Nurse) confirmed R3's antibiotic order recommendation from 7/16/2024 was not carried out and R3 did not receive the correct doses and frequencies. V12 stated she then reinstructed the facility to start vancomycin 1 G every 24 hours on 7/23/2024 and repeat tr level on 7/26/2024. V12 stated the pharmacy dispenses the number of antibiotic infusion doses needed based on the order and they contact the facility daily to confirm if any change in the number of doses needed to ensure the facility has the medications available. V12 also stated the facility has access to a medication pyxis machine that has IV antibiotics available at all times, including vancomycin and cefazolin. On 7/25/2024 at 11:08 AM, V14 (Infectious Nurse Practitioner) stated she was managing R3's blood infection. V14 stated the pharmacist was to be dosing R3's vancomycin IV because the antibiotic required close monitoring and titrating of dosages to ensure R3 received a safe and effective therapeutic dose to treat his infection. V14 stated she expected the facility to follow the pharmacist's recommendations and administer antibiotics as ordered. On 7/25/2024 at 2:29 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated she expects nurses to administer scheduled intravenous antibiotics as ordered and for them to document in patients' EMAR (Electronic Medical Administration Record) once administered.
