(v) The facility is not relieved of its obligation to
provide this information to the individual once
he or she is able to receive such information.
Follow-up procedures must be in place to
provide the information to the individual directly
at the appropriate time.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure three of
three sampled residents (Resident 2, Resident
15 and Resident 10) medical record contained
a completed advance directive. This failure had
the potential to result in delaying treatment in
an emergency.
Findings:
1. During an observation on March 25, 2019 at
3:35 PM, Resident 2 was lying in bed under the
covers dressed in gown.
During a record review of the clinical record on
March 27, 2019 at 12:57 PM, there was no
documented evidence of a completed Advance
Directive or POLST (Physician Order of Life
Sustaining Treatment) in the chart at the
nurse's station for Resident 2.
During a concurrent interview with the Medical
Records Director (MRD) on March 27, 2019 at
12:57 PM for Resident 2, the MRD confirmed
there was not an advance directive in the chart.
During a subsequent record review on March
28, 2019, Resident 2 was admitted on
November 30, 2018 with diagnoses which
included: leg cast, physical deconditioning,
cervical spine osteomyelitis (infection in the
neck vertebra), pain management,

go with him and follow him there. The dialysis
staff asks me about his medications and blood
pressure because it is not on the form."
During a review of the clinical record on March
28, 2019 at 9:15 AM, the document titled,
"Dialysis Communication Record" indicated the
pain assessment was missing on the document
for the following days: March 5, 2019, March 7,
2019, March 12, 2019, March 14, 2019 and
March 19, 2019. The vital signs for March 2,
2019 were left blank on the document. The
assessment for the arterial venous shunt (AVa surgical grafting of a vein and artery) site for
a bruit and thrill was not documented on March
7, 2019, March 14, 2019, and March 19, 2019.
During an interview on March 28, 2019 at 9:21
AM, a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 4) was
asked about the assessment of the resident
prior to dialysis. LVN 4 stated, "Check for
bruits/thrills (abnormal sound generated by
turbuklent flow of blood in an artery), check for
bleeding, check for redness, take vital signs
(temperature, pulse, blood pressure,
respirations and pain). When the LVN 4 was
asked if the assessment would be complete if
the pain or bruits/thrills were not filled out, LVN
4 stated, "No, not completed."
During an interview on March 28, 2019 at 9:32
AM, the Director of Nurses (DON) confirmed
the missing entries for vital signs, pain,
thrills/bruits. The DON stated the nurse
assesses the resident by checking for a
bruit/thrill, site access, check blood pressure
and vital signs - temperature, respirations,
pulse, pain and checks oxygen saturation if on
oxygen. The DON acknowledged the nurses
were not following the policy if the pain, vital
signs, or bruit/thrill were not assessed and

A review of Admission MDS, with ARD
(assessment reference date) of February 19,
2019, indicated that section N0410 (medication
received) was coded (0) zero to reflect that
Resident 35 did not receive antipsychotic
(medication for treating psychosis) in the past
seven days.
A review of MDS, Section N0450 (antipsychotic
medication review) was coded as one (1) to
reflect response as in "Yes" which indicated
antipsychotics were received on a routine basis
only.
During an interview with MDS Nurse on March
28, 2019 at 9:50 AM, the admission MDS was
reviewed. MDS Nurse confirmed Resident 35
had no antipsychotic medication ordered.
Section N0450 (medication) was coded as
"YES." MDS Nurse stated that was an error
and should have been coded as "NO."
During a review of Resident 35's February
2019 recapitulation (summary of physician
orders) with MDS Nurse, he confirmed that
Resident 35 was not on any antipsychotic
medication ordered since admission.

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to report to the
California Department of Public Health a fall
resulting in major injury affecting the health and
safety of one sampled resident (Resident 2).
This failure to report an incident resulted in a
violation of Title 22 which requires facilities to
report unusual occurrences to CDPH within 24
hours.
During an observation on March 25, 2019 at
3:21 PM, Resident 2 laid in her bed in a gown.
A wheelchair and front wheel walker (FWW)
were in the room near her bedside.
During an interview on March 25, 2019 at 3:50
PM, Resident 2 stated she quit smoking
because she had a fall in the smoking area.
During an observation of the smoking area on
March 28, 2019 at 2:12 PM, the smoking area
had a tent covering (a veranda), a metal object
for cigarette butts, four yellow parking curb
marking the area, and a red picnic bench down
a slope from the tented area.
During a review of the clinical record on March
28, 2019 at 3:24 PM, the document titled,
"Nursing Progress Note," dated November 27,
2019 indicated Resident 2 went out to the
smoking area at 4:45 AM accompanied by CNA
2. RN 2 noted CNA 2 came to her 10 minutes
later reporting the fall. RN 2 assessed Resident
2 noting, "the resident was in pain, a cut was
on the left side of the forehead with a little
bleeding and the left foot was under her." The

regarding Resident's 2 fall resulting in injury.
When asked how the facility tracks reporting of
incidents, the DON replied, "I would put them
under the action tab under risk management
where we also put our IDT meeting notes." The
DON stated she did not see anything in

and would have to check with the Administrator
to see what he had in his records."
