clinical record review, observation, staff interview and policy review, the facility failed to provide an accurate
smoking assessment with smoking materials secured safely for one (Resident #25) of one resident
reviewed for safe smoking. The facility census was 68.
Findings include:
Resident #25 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, major depression, anxiety and
heart disease.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident scored a four out
of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment which was considered severely impaired
cognition.

Review of the smoking policy dated 06/12 revealed the purpose was to provide a safe environment for all
residents and proper assistance for those residents who smoked with five designated smoke times for
resident who required smoking supervision. A smoking assessment for each smoker determined if a
resident may retain cigarettes and lighter in their room. An alert and oriented resident who understood and
practiced safe smoking techniques in designated areas may retain cigarettes/ lighter locked in a secured
box in their room.

Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/17/19 at 4:47 P.M. revealed it was a battle with Resident
#25 who had friends/family that supplied his cigarettes and lighter which he kept in his room. This resident
had been smoking since he was a young man.
Interview on 12/17/19 at 5:30 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #204 revealed Resident #25 kept
his cigarettes/lighter in his room but had never smoked in his room. He did not comply with the posted
smoking schedule and became angry stating he was not in prison if anyone tried to secure his
cigarettes/lighter or tell him to smoke at certain times. LPN #204 verified Resident #7 used oxygen in room
next door to Resident #25 room and also wandered, but to her knowledge had never gone into Resident
#25's room. Observation at that time with LPN #204 verified there were three packages of cigarettes and a
lighter on the over bed table unsecured with no locked box in Resident #25's room. Resident #25 was laying
on the bed and the table was next to him.
Interview on 12/18/19 at 9:15 A.M. with LPN #111 verified both Residents #7 and #36 sometimes wandered
into other residents' rooms.
Interview with the Administrator on 12/18/19 at 10:15 A.M. revealed he realized Resident #25 had
cigarettes/lighter unsecured in his room. The staff were trying to honor Resident #25's wishes to manage
his own cigarettes/lighter. The Administrator verified Resident #25 was the only resident in the facility who
smoked. Resident #25 had never smoked in his room or anywhere else inside the facility. There had been
no incidents or accidents related to Resident #25 and smoking. The Administrator verified Resident #25
was cognitively impaired and should not be permitted to retain possession of smoking materials.
Review of the smoking policy dated 06/12 revealed the purpose was to provide a safe environment for all
residents and proper assistance for those residents who smoked. There were five designated smoking
times for resident who required smoking supervision. A smoking assessment for each smoker determined if
a resident may retain cigarettes and lighter in their room. An alert and oriented resident who understood
and practiced safe smoking techniques in designated areas may retain cigarettes/ lighter locked in a
secured box in their room.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, staff interview and policy review the facility failed to provide physician ordered
respiratory care for Resident #7. This affected one of two residents reviewed for respiratory care. The facility
census was 68.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia, anxiety and heart
disease.
Review of a physician's order dated 04/01/18 revealed the resident was to use oxygen (O2) at three liters
per minute (LPM) as needed to keep her O2 saturation at 90 percent per checks by pulse oximeter (a
device when attached to the finger determines O2 saturation).
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had severely
impaired cognition.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) from 10/01/19 to present revealed no evidence the
resident's O2 saturation levels were monitored.
Review of documentation under the vitals tab revealed the resident's oxygen level was 90 percent on
10/07/19 and 11/06/19.
A progress note dated 12/06/19 indicated the resident's O2 saturation was 85 percent with no evidence
additional oxygen was administered per nasal cannula.
A progress note dated 12/16/19 revealed the resident's O2 level was 80 percent with oxygen provided at
three liters which effectively increased the resident's level to 93 percent.
There was no other evidence found in the record that O2 saturation levels were checked.
Observations of Resident #7 on 12/16/19 at 12:57 P.M., 12/17/19 at 2:10 P.M., and on 12/18/19 at 9:07
A.M. revealed the resident removed her oxygen nasal cannula and tubing. The oxygen tank in the resident's
room was on and set to two LPM.
Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #144 on 12/18/19 at 1:35 P.M. verified Resident #7's as needed
physician's order for oxygen at three LPM to keep the O2 saturation above 90 percent. RN #144 confirmed
the order did not indicate how frequently nursing should monitor the pulse oximetry but it should be
checked by the nurse and documented at least daily. RN #144 verified the lack of evidence Resident #7's
O2 saturation level was consistently monitored.
Review of the undated policy titled Oxygen Therapy revealed for residents receiving as need oxygen, the
pulse ox was obtained prior to the initiation of oxygen for levels of 90 or below, then daily on the evening
shift. The pulse ox was also checked monthly on the day shift after the resident was off the oxygen for at
least 20 minutes to assess the need for the oxygen therapy.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the pharmacy identified perimeters for
opioid medications. This affected one (Resident #15) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary
medications. The census was 68.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #15's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included Alzheimer's dementia, depression and anxiety. Further review revealed a five day Minimum
Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed his cognition was severely impaired, he required
extensive assistance of one staff members for bed mobility, toileting and personal hygiene and total
assistance of two or more staff members for transferring.
Review of the physicians orders revealed orders on 09/24/19 for Tramadol HCL (opioid pain medication) 50
milligrams (mg) every six hours as needed for pain and Tramadol HCL 50 mg two tabs as needed every six
hours for pain and on 11/15/19 Oxycodone Immediate (opioid pain medication) 5 mg one every four to six
hours as needed for pain and Oxycodone Immediate 5 mg give two tablets every four to six hours.
Review of the pharmacy notes on 11/21/2019 revealed Monthly Record Review completed. Based upon the
information available at the time of the review, and assuming the accuracy and completeness of such
information, it is my professional judgment that at such time, the resident's medication regimen contained
no new irregularities (as defined in SOM [State Operations Manual] Appendix PP 483.60 (c)).
Pharmacy failed to identify there were no perimeters set for the pain medication as when to administer one
tablet or two tablets.
On 12/18/19 at 10:15 A.M. interview with Director of Nursing verified there were no perimeters for the pain
medication.

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
Resident #45's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of
Alzheimer's dementia, anxiety and delusional disorder. Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated
[DATE] revealed her cognition was not intact. She required extensive assistance of one for bed mobility,
dressing, eating, toileting and personal hygiene.
Review of the Pharmacy Consultation report for 11/21/19 revealed Resident #45 is receiving Seroquel
(antipsychotic) 50 mg at night time for behavioral or psychological symptoms of dementia. Please evaluate
for a gradual dosage reduction attempt at this time.
Response on 12/16/19 by the Certified Nurse Practioner (CNP) revealed the resident's dementia was
worsening and her acting out behavior was increasing with all in contact with her.
Review of Resident #45's documented behaviors revealed the only documented behaviors were one in
07/2019, 08/2019, two in 09/2019, none in 10/2019, 11/2019 and two for 12/2019. There was no
documented evidence the behaviors had increased. There was no documented evidence for the justification
of not attempting the gradual dose reduction.
On 12/18/19 at 2:34 P.M. interview with the Director of Nursing verified the lack of documentation on
behaviors and no increase in behaviors to justify not attempting the GDR with the Seroquel.
Based on record review, observations, staff interviews and policy review, the facility failed to support the
use of psychoactive medications for two (Residents #41 and #45) of five residents reviewed for
unnecessary medications. The census was 68.
Findings include:
1. Clinical record review revealed Resident # 41 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including bipolar
disorder. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had
moderately impaired cognition. The resident had a physician's order dated 05/01/19 for a psychoactive
medication (Risperidone), antipsychotic, at 1.0 milligram (mg) daily which was decreased to 0.5 mg on
12/17/19.
Review of the resident's behavior intervention documentation in the Medication Administration Record
(MAR) since 11/01/19 revealed there was nothing specific about what behaviors were monitored or
evidence the resident was having any behaviors to support the use of the psychoactive medication. Review
of the resident's progress notes since 11/01/19 revealed the only behavior noted was tongue chewing on
12/17/19.
Multiple observations of the resident on 12/16/19 at 2:28 P.M., 12/17/19 at 9:21 A.M., 12/18/19 at 10:04
A.M. and 12/19/19 at 9:07 A.M. revealed the resident was in bed and appeared content. The surveyor
observed no evidence of any behaviors.
Interview on 12/19/19 at 9:25 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #144 verified the behavior intervention

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, staff interview and policy and procedure review the facility failed to follow infection
control guidelines in regards to cleaning a glucometer. This had the potential to affect four residents
(Residents #21, #42, #67 and #273) who were ordered to have blood sugar checks by fingerstick on Station
II. The facility census was 68.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
On 12/18/19 at 3:57 P.M. observation of a finger stick blood sugar (FSBS) for Resident #273 revealed
Licensed Practical nurse (LPN) #245 obtained the FSBS using a glucometer. She then went to the
medicine cart, placed a barrier on top of the cart and placed the glucometer on it. Using a sani cloth
germicidal wipe, she wiped the glucometer for four seconds and left it on the barrier to dry, reporting it had
to dry for five minutes. Review of the manufacturers guidelines on the container revealed it was to remain
visibly wet for four minutes.
On 12/19/19 at 8:53 A.M. LPN #245 verified she did not follow the facility policy or the manufacturer
guidelines of cleaning the glucometer. Four residents (Residents #21, #42, #67 and #273) were identified
on Station II as having FSBS orders and all used the same glucometer.
Review of the facility policy Glucometer Usage and Cleaning (not dated) clean glucometer using germicidal
wipe (with gloves on) wrap glucometer in the wipe place testing site down in a plastic cup. Needs to stay
wet for four minutes. If wipe dries before four minutes, repeat process using two wipes. After four minutes
you can take out and place in the individual space for the glucometer.
