**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, facility policy review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #146,
who was dependent on staff assistance for activities of daily living (ADL), received adequate and proper
assistance for dressing, personal hygiene, and incontinence care. This affected one resident (#146) of three
residents reviewed for ADL. The facility census was 166.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #146's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/22/24 and a reentry date of
01/26/24. Resident #146's diagnoses included bradycardia, type two diabetes mellitus, vascular dementia,
moderate, with psychotic disturbance, and Alzheimer's disease.
Review of Resident #146's care plan dated 01/22/24 included Resident #146 had an activity of daily living
(ADL) self-care performance deficit related to urinary tract infection, Alzheimer's disease, bradycardia and
incontinence. The goal developed was for Resident #146 to maintain, improve current level of function
through the review date. Interventions included Resident #146 required the staff assistance of one person
for transfers.
Review of Resident #146's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #146 was rarely, never understood and dependent (on staff) for bathing, toileting hygiene, and
putting on and taking off footwear. Resident #146 required substantial to maximal assistance with upper
and lower body dressing, for chair, bed-to-chair transfer and sitting to standing. Resident #46 was always
incontinent of urine and bowel.
Review of Resident #146's care plan dated 11/14/24 included Resident #146 had a urinary tract infection.
The goal developed was for Resident #146's urinary tract infection to be resolved without complications by
the review date. Interventions included to check Resident #146 at least every two hours for incontinence
and wash, rinse and dry soiled areas. Resident #146 had bladder incontinence related to Alzheimer's
disease, weakness, impaired mobility. The goal developed was for Resident #146 to remain free from skin
breakdown due to incontinence and brief use through the review date. Interventions included to provide
peri-care after each episode of incontinence.
Observation on 11/18/24 at 8:03 A.M. of Resident #146 with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #400
revealed Resident #146 was sitting in a wheelchair in the hall of the nursing unit he resided on. Resident
#146 was not wearing socks, had one shoe on his bare right foot, no show on his left foot, the shoelaces of
the shoe on the right foot were not tied and were dragging on the floor. Resident #146's bare left foot was

observed to be full of urine with the fullness observed even with the athletic pants covering the incontinence
brief. CNA #400 stated the night shift aide told her Resident #146 needed his incontinence brief changed.
Resident #146's black athletic pants were covered in what appeared to be dried food and drink stains. CNA
#400 confirmed Resident #146's pants were dirty, he did not have socks on, only one shoe, and the
shoelaces were dragging on the floor. CNA #400 also confirmed Resident #146's incontinence brief was full
of urine and needed changed. CNA #400 pushed Resident #146's wheelchair into the common area
shower room and bathroom and attempted to stand him up and transfer him to the toilet, but Resident #146
was unable to assist with the transfer and CNA #400 left the bathroom to find another staff member to
assist her. CNA #400 came back to the bathroom with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #401. LPN #401
observed Resident #146 only had one shoe on, and his bare left foot was resting on the bathroom floor,
and left the bathroom to find his other shoe before providing incontinence care. LPN #401 entered the
bathroom and stated she could not find Resident #146's other shoe, but brought non-skid socks and put
them on Resident #146's feet. LPN #401 and CNA #400 transferred Resident #146 to the toilet with great
difficulty. Resident #146 was unable to use his legs to assist with the transfer and CNA #400 and LPN #401
had great difficulty transferring him to the toilet. Resident #146's pants were removed and CNA #400
identified and confirmed the entire back of his pants was soaked with urine, and the incontinence brief was
soaked with urine. CNA #400 and LPN #401 assisted Resident #146 to stand up and CNA #400 provided
incontinence care. CNA #400 washed Resident #146's buttocks and anal area using a wash cloth and
when she was finished with the buttocks and anal area she folded the wash cloth and used the same wash
cloth to cleanse Resident #146's perineal area. After folding the wash cloth CNA #400 proceeded to wash
Resident #146's perineal area, and cleaned Resident #146's penis last with the soiled wash cloth used for
the buttock and anal area. CNA #400 picked up a towel, wet one end of the towel with water, and used the
end of the towel to rinse Resident #146's buttocks, penis and perineal area and used the dry end to dry his
buttocks, penis and perineal area. CNA #400 confirmed she used the same wash cloth and washed
Resident #146's buttocks and anal area before she cleaned his perineal area and penis. CNA #400 stated
she only had one wash cloth, and she should have washed his perineal area and penis before washing
Resident #146's buttocks and anal area. After finishing Resident #146's incontinence care, CNA #400 and
LPN #401 assisted Resident #146 back to the wheelchair without wiping the urine off the wheelchair seat
cushion with disinfectant cloths. CNA #400 and LPN #401 confirmed the cushion was not wiped with
disinfectant cloths and it should have been. CNA #400 and LPN #401 were assisting Resident #146 out of
the bathroom and when asked if they helped Resident #146 wash his hands after sitting on the toilet and
receiving incontinence care they confirmed they did not help him wash his hands and pushed him back to
the sink and assisted him to wash his hands. Further observation revealed Resident #146's fingernails were
about a half inch long. LPN #401 confirmed the length of Resident #146's fingernails and stated they
should have been trimmed on his shower day. CNA #400 and LPN #401 confirmed they had a difficult time
transferring Resident #146 on and off the toilet and CNA #400 stated Resident #146 might need a
sit-to-stand or mechanical lift.
Interview on 11/18/24 at 10:30 A.M. of the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed CNA #400 and LPN #401
told her Resident #146's incontinence care was not done properly. The DON confirmed she was notified
Resident #146's transfer to the toilet was difficult and stated sometimes Resident #146 could help with
transfers more than other times.
Review of Resident #146's medical record revealed a care plan revision, dated 11/18/24 indicating
Resident #146 required staff assistance of one to two persons for transfers. Resident #146's care plan was
revised on 11/19/24 and included Resident #146 required the use of a stand up lift with two staff.

residents would be provided with care, treatment and services as appropriate to maintain or improve their
ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents who were unable to carry out activities of daily
living independently would receive the services necessary to maintain good nutrition, grooming and
personal and oral hygiene. Appropriate care and services would be provided for residents who were unable
to carry out ADLs independently, with the consent of the resident and in accordance with the plan of care,
including appropriate support and assistance with hygiene, mobility, elimination (toileting), dining and
communication. A resident's ability to perform ADLs would be measured using clinical tools including the
MDS.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to implement adequate and
necessary interventions to address Resident #146's constipation through implementation of the facility
bowel protocol. This affected one resident (#146) of three residents reviewed for constipation.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #146's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/22/24 and a reentry date of
01/26/24. Resident #146's diagnoses included bradycardia, type two diabetes mellitus, vascular dementia,
moderate, with psychotic disturbance, and Alzheimer's disease.
Review of Resident #146's care plan dated 01/22/24 included Resident #146 had an activities of daily living

was on the list of residents who were on the bowel protocol. CNA #402 stated she was assigned to care for
Resident #146 today, and was unaware Resident #146 was on the bowel protocol and did not tell the nurse
he was on the bowel protocol. CNA #402 stated even though she did not tell the nurse Resident #146 was
on the bowel protocol, the nurses also had the residents who were on the bowel protocol pop up on their
computer screen. CNA #402 stated Resident #146 required total assistance with care.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 11/19/24 at 11:10 A.M. with LPN #403 revealed Resident #146 popped up on her computer
screen to implement a bowel protocol. LPN #403 stated she did not know before now Resident #146 was
on the bowel protocol because she had not looked at residents' on the bowel protocol since she arrived for
work at 7:00 A.M. LPN #403 indicated a resident popped up on the clinical alert area on the dashboard of
the electronic record when they did not have a bowel movement for three days (six shifts).
Interview on 11/19/24 at 11:20 A.M. with Unit Manager (UM) #404 revealed she was the unit manager for
the nursing unit Resident #146 resided on and stated Resident #146 was on the bowel protocol list from the
weekend. UM #404 stated nurses could check the dashboard in the electronic record to check if any
residents were on the bowel protocol. UM #404 stated as a back-up measure for residents on the bowel
protocol she usually checked the list every morning and alerted the nurses which residents were on the
bowel protocol. UM #404 stated yesterday (11/18/24) she was too busy to check the list and she did not get
to the list today. UM #404 indicated on 11/18/24 she told the nurses to check the dashboard for residents
on the bowel protocol, but she did not know if the nurses checked the bowel protocol list after she told them
to do it. UM #404 confirmed Resident #146 did not have a documented bowel movement for five days.
Review of the facility undated policy titled Bowel Protocol revealed nursing staff should maintain a record of
bowel evacuation on each resident in POC (electronic record). A bowel elimination protocol was initiated by
nursing staff when the resident had no recorded results after six shifts, or per resident's pattern. When the
BM record shows no bowel elimination by the third day or six shifts, the 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. charge nurse
initiated the bowel protocol unless contraindicated by resident condition or physician (or the resident had
existing orders for constipation); the first step was on the third day or after six shifts, the charge nurse gave
resident 30 cubic centimeters (cc's) of Milk of Magnesia in the morning; the second step was if the Milk of
Magnesia was ineffective, the second shift nurse may administer Dulcolax Suppository 10 mg rectally,
consult with physician or the Nurse Practitioner for Dulcolax tablets; if there were no results from the
suppository or oral tablets a Fleets type enema (sodium phosphate) was administered by the nurse; bowel
routine may be started at any time, but preferable in the morning. Bowel routine may be recorded on the 24
hour report, clinical record, and verbally communicated to oncoming shifts, in report. Note bowel sounds,
pain, tenderness, and firmness of the abdomen. Notify physician if bowel routine was ineffective.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00159838. This
deficiency is also an example of continued non-compliance from the survey dated 11/08/24.
