F 0744 Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, staff interview and review of material safety and data sheets (MSDS), the facility failed to ensure a safe environment for residents residing on the secured memory care unit, when Resident #54 was able to have direct access to chemicals (spray can air freshener). This affected one resident (#54) of one resident reviewed for accident hazards. This had the potential to affect the 31 Residents (Residents #02, #04, #05, #06, #08, #13, #15, #16, #18, #23, #28, #30, #31, #33, #34, #36, #39, #40, #42, #44, #48, #49, #51, #56, #57, #64, #66, #67 #68, #71 and #125) who resided on the facilitys' secured dementia care unit. The facility census was 73. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included chronic kidney disease, dementia and psychosis. Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #54 was cognitively impaired, does not speak English (Romanian was primary language), has active hallucinations and delusions and required hands on assistance for completing her activities of daily living (ADLs). Review of the care plan dated 06/28/22 revealed Resident #54 experienced alteration in mood and/or behavior as evidence by spraying herself and others with air freshener. No interventions related to inappropriate air freshener use or related chemicals were noted in the care plan. Observation of Resident #54 on 06/26/23 at 9:15 A.M. revealed Resident #54 was in her room, laying in bed watching television. Upon entrance in Resident #54's room Resident #54 immediately grabbed a bottle of febreeze air freshener from the bed side table behind her bed and began spraying the surveyor and shouting very loudly in her native language for approximately fifteen to twenty seconds until the surveyor left the room. Interview on 06/26/23 at 9:16 A.M., with the Housekeeper #399 who was cleaning the hallway in front of Resident #54's room while the above observation took place verified Resident #54 had the bottle of febreeze air freshener and probably should not have access to such items. The Housekeeper #399 said that was just who Resident #54 was. Interview with the Director of Nursing and the Administrator on 06/27/23 at 2:30 P.M., revealed they were aware of Resident #54 having access to items such as air fresheners and it was constant battle to educate Resident #54's family and loved ones regarding the safety of the use of such items as they are noted to frequently purchase similar items for Resident #54. Review of the MSDS sheet for the febreeze air freshener used by and located in Resident #54's room dated March 2011 revealed misuse by concentrating and inhaling the contents (the air freshener) can be harmful or fatal.
