Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident's comprehensive care
plans included a care plan that identified him as having bilateral lower extremity contractures and reflected
his non-compliance with restorative nursing for passive range of motion. This affected one (Resident #54) of
29 residents reviewed for comprehensive care plans.
Findings include:
A review of Resident #54's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included muscle wasting and atrophy, muscle weakness, difficulty in walking and contractures of
an unspecified joint.
A review of Resident #54's range of motion (ROM) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was
noted to have moderate limitations in range of motion in his hips, ankles, feet and toes when passive range
of motion (PROM) was provided. The resident had severe limitations in ROM of his bilateral knees when
PROM was provided.
A review of Resident #54's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, an assessment tool used by the facility
to identify a resident's level of care for reimbursement purposes, dated 05/26/19 revealed the resident did
not have any communication issues. His cognition was intact with no impairment noted. He was not
identified on the MDS as having displayed any behaviors nor was he known to reject care. He required
extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility and was totally dependent on two staff for transfers.
Ambulation did not occur. He was indicated on the MDS as having a functional limitation in his range of
motion on both sides of his lower extremities.
A review of Resident #54's active care plans revealed he did not have a care plan in place to address his
contractures to his bilateral lower extremities. None of the existing care plans addressed him having
contractures or included interventions that addressed them.
On 07/09/19 at 8:19 A.M., an observation of Resident #54 noted him to have contractures of his bilateral
lower extremities. He had his legs bent at the knees with his legs drawn up to where his heels were near his
upper posterior legs. None of the observations made of the resident in bed or in his specialty chair noted
him to have his legs extended out away in a normal anatomical position.
On 07/11/19 at 3:57 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #45 confirmed Resident #54 had
contractures of his bilateral lower extremities. She reported she was the facility's restorative nurse, and the
resident had refused to participate in a restorative nursing program for passive range of motion. She also
confirmed the resident's active care plans did not address his contractures nor did they indicate he was
non-compliant with the restorative nursing program for passive range of motion that had been
recommended by therapy.

#22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included chronic embolism and deep vein
thrombosis of left lower extremity and dementia.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the physician's order dated 10/17/18 revealed for the resident was to wear compression stocking
in the A.M. and remove them in the P.M. Further review of the skin integrity care plan initiated 10/11/18
revealed it was updated on 04/30/19 to have the resident wear compression stockings in the A.M. and
remove them in the P.M.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and observation, the facility failed to adequately assess resident's hearing loss and
provide timely audiology services to assess hearing loss and repair of hearing aids to ensure the
resident-maintained hearing abilities. This affected one (Resident #46) of one resident reviewed for hearing.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Record review revealed Resident #46 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted [DATE] with
diagnoses including communication deficit and diabetes.
Review of Resident #46's 360 Care audiology visit dated 04/03/19 revealed the resident was seen by a
nurse practitioner and reported chronic hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing noise) in both ears. The
resident reported her hearing aids were not working well or have been broken for almost four years. The left
hearing aid was broken, and the right hearing aid didn't fit properly in her ear. The resident would like
audiology to consult to get new hearing aids. An audiology referral recommendation was made on
12/03/18. An audiology referral recommendation was being made as the resident would benefit from a
hearing test by an audiologist in the next one to six months for hearing loss based upon additional
information from the facility, resident, and doctor. The resident needed a new pair of hearing aids.
Review of Resident #46's communication deficit plan of care revealed the resident reported chronic hearing
loss and chronic tinnitus. The resident's goal included the resident would retain/improve conversation. The
resident's intervention included to arrange for a hearing consult as needed, and arrange for follow-up as
ordered. There was no evidence the resident had hearing aids.
Review of Resident #46's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated the
resident had adequate hearing and no hearing devices.
Review of the MDS Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) manual revealed to interview the resident and
ask about hearing function in different situations, review the medical record, and prior to beginning the
hearing assessment, ask the resident if he or she had own hearing aids or other hearing appliance and, if
so, whether they were at the nursing home.
Interview on 07/09/19 at 8:37 A.M., with Resident #46 revealed she had hearing aids that were in disrepair.
She reported her hearing had changed due to her diabetes. She had been waiting four months to have a
hearing test done so she could get new hearing aids.
Interview on 07/10/19 at 10:41 A.M., the Administrator verified the resident had not seen the audiologist for
hearing testing at this time. The audiologist would not be back until 08/07/19.
Interview and observation on 07/10/19 at 1:02 P.M., of Resident #46 with Registered Nurse (RN) #84
revealed the resident had two hearing aids in a box in her dresser. One hearing aid was broken. The
resident reported she had stepped on it. She has had the hearing aids for five to six years and had brought
them to the facility upon admission. She reported she would like to hear again and would like new hearing
aids. She reported she had voiced concerns to staff, however she still had not seen the audiologist for her
hearing test. The television was playing at normal volume during observation.

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 ensure Resident #38, who was at risk for
developing pressure ulcers, had interventions in place to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. This
affected one of one resident reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident #38 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cerebral vascular
accident with right sided hemiparesis, muscle wasting, weakness and edema. The resident did not sleep in
her bed but preferred to sleep in her wheelchair.
Review of the impaired skin integrity care plan, initiated 10/17/18, revealed interventions included to
encourage the resident to elevate her legs and include the resident and/or responsible party in the
treatment plan.
Review of the current physician's order initiated 04/07/19 revealed to encourage and assist the resident
with elevating her heels while in bed, and assist with repositioning in bed at least every two hours and as
needed.
Review of the most recent Braden assessment, an assessment to determine the risk for developing
pressure ulcers, dated 04/30/19 and completed by the wound Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #106,
revealed the resident scored a 16 which indicated the resident was at risk for developing pressure ulcers.
Review of the 05/13/19 Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was not able to be
interviewed. The resident required assistance from staff with activities of daily living (ADL) including
dressing. The resident did not have any pressure ulcers.
Review of the physician's order dated 05/01/19 revealed to apply Unna boot to the right lower extremity, a
compression dressing made by wrapping layers of gauze around your leg and foot up to the base of the
toes. It is often used to protect an ulcer or open wound. The Unna boot was covered with Co-Ban which
was used to secure and protect the Unna boot. It also helped immobilize injuries and provide compression.
The dressing was changed weekly on Wednesdays (Wednesdays in May 2019 were 05/01/19, 05/08/19,
05/15/19, 05/22/19 and 05/29/19).
Review of the weekly skin rounds assessments dated 05/04/19 (Saturday), 05/12/19 (Sunday) and
05/25/19 (Saturday) revealed bony prominence's were assessed which included the right and left heel, and
they were intact despite the heels not able to be observed due to the above dressing which could not be
removed. The only pressure relieving device in place was a pressure relieving mattress. (Staff indicated the
resident did not sleep in bed).
Review of the May 2019 Treatment Administrator Record (TAR) revealed the documentation was not
consistent to accurately reflect when the Unna boot was changed. Also the TAR indicated the resident legs
were elevated daily while in bed despite the resident not sleeping in bed. Further review of the May 2019
Medication Administrator Record (MAR) revealed the resident was monitored for behaviors including
resisting care and being non-complaint with treatment and there were no behaviors noted for the month.

Review of the weekly skin rounds assessments for June 2019 revealed the only assessment completed
was on 06/01/19 which indicated the right heel was intact. This assessment was completed on Saturday.
Review of the physician's order dated 06/06/19 revealed to cleanse the right heel with wound cleanser,
apply opritcell, an alginate based gel fiber product (best used on wounds that have a large amount of
exudate or fluid based inflammation) and used to provide an optimal moist wound healing environment and
was indicated for use on partial and full thickness wounds. Then apply a foam dressing and change with the
weekly (Wednesday) Unna boot dressing.
Review of the 06/06/19 wound observation evaluation indicated the resident was admitted with a right heel
stasis ulcer with a small amount of serosanguineous drainage measuring 2.0 centimeters (cm) in length by
1.0 cm in width by 0.3 cm in depth with pink peri-wound tissue and well-defined shape and edges which
was found during the weekly removal of the Unna boot. No new pressure relieving interventions were
initiated for the heels. Further review of the 06/19/19 wound observation evaluation indicated the wound
was unchanged yet slough tissue was present in the center and the width grew to 2.0 cm's. Further review
of the 06/26/19 wound observation evaluation indicated the wound was unchanged yet 40 percent of
necrosis and/or slough comprised the wound bed and the width measured 3.0 cm's.
Review of the June 2019 TAR revealed the documentation was not consistent to accurately reflect when the
Unna boot and dressing to the right heel were changed. Also the TAR indicated the residents legs were
elevated daily while in bed. Further review of the June 2019 MAR revealed the resident only had behaviors
on two days for the month 06/14/19 and 06/23/19.
Review of the revised skin integrity care plan, dated 07/01/19 revealed the resident had a venous stasis
pressure ulcer to the right heel. There were no added interventions for the development of the wounds.
Review of the 07/03/19 wound observation evaluation indicated the wound was unchanged yet the length
measured 3.0 cm's. The wound was moist with yellow slough and slightly macerated. No interventions were
put into place.
Review of the July 2019 TAR revealed the residents legs were elevated daily while in bed. Further review of
the July 2019 MAR revealed the resident resisted care one time on 07/02/19.
On 07/08/19 at 9:10 A.M. and 11:19 A.M., the resident was observed in her wheelchair with Unna boots
and socks, and her feet were on the floor.
On 07/08/19 at 11:20 A.M., interview with the resident revealed when asked about any sores or open areas
she pointed to her legs but was not able to give any additional information.
On 07/08/19 at 4:20 P.M., 5:47 P.M. and 6:35 P.M., the resident was observed in her wheelchair with Unna
boots and socks and her feet on the floor.

Residents Affected - Few
On 07/10/19 at 11:12 A.M. and 12:58 P.M., the resident was observed in her wheelchair with Unna boots
and socks and her feet on the floor.
On 07/10/19 at 5:00 P.M., interview with the wound nurse, LPN #106, revealed the right heel wound
currently measured 3.5 cm by 2.0 cm by 0.2 cm with 90 percent granulation and slough. LPN #106 verified
she coded the heel as a stasis ulcer but could have been developed from the Unna boot. She verified there
were no appropriate interventions in place prior to the development of the wound to the heel nor were any
additional interventions implemented after development of the wound except for the treatment of the
wound.
On 07/10/19 at 5:15 P.M., observation of the wound with LPN #106 and the wound physician #300 revealed
a large area over the bony prominence of the right heel with pink tissue around the wound, but the wound
was covered with a white area and had depth to it with drainage. During the observation the resident was
very anxious and moving around while laying in bed repeatedly saying hurry I have to get up I have things
to do.
On 07/10/19 at 5:25 P.M., interview with wound physician #300 verified the right heel was on the bony
prominence of the right heel and was in fact a pressure ulcer and not a stasis ulcer. The physician indicated
the wound had not gotten better and was going to change the treatment but decided to wait another week.
The physician was aware the resident did not sleep in bed nor did she like to elevate her legs, and she liked
to stay in her wheelchair.
On 07/11/19 at 5:40 P.M., interview with LPN #106 verified the TAR was inconsistent and could not
accurately reflect when the weekly dressing changes of the Unna boot were completed, verified there were
no interventions prior to or after the development of the heel pressure ulcer to alleviate pressure off the
heels, verified the resident did not sleep in bed despite the TAR indicating she did daily and verified she
coded the pressure ulcer as a stasis ulcer and inadvertently coded the wound as developed on admission
when the wound was actually acquired while the resident was in the facility. She verified the right heel
wound was originally found as a blister but had a depth of 0.3 cm and was not able to provide any addition
descriptions of the wound when found on 06/06/19. LPN #106 verified the size of the wound had gotten
bigger and there had been no improvement in the wound since found on 06/06/19.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to timely administer Resident #18's narcotic
pain medication. This affected one (Resident #18) of four residents reviewed for pain management.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including low back pain, displaced fracture of the neck, and muscle weakness. Review of the Minimum Data
Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated [DATE], revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15,
which indicated Resident #18 was cognitively intact. The MDS further revealed the resident had frequent
pain and the administration of opioid pain medication.
Review of the Care Plan, dated [DATE], revealed the intervention to administer pain medication as ordered,
observe for effectiveness and/or side effects, and to update the physician, as needed, regarding
effectiveness or need for order change.
During interview on [DATE] at 11:50 A.M., Resident #18 revealed that she did not receive her 9:00 A.M.
dose of Percocet, and her current pain level was a seven, on a one to ten pain level scale. The resident
further revealed the facility ran out of her pain medication and the nurse was trying to contact her physician
for a pain medication prescription.
Review of a physician order, dated [DATE], revealed an order for Percocet 5-325 milligrams (mg), an opioid
pain medication, one tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for pain. Review of Resident #18's
Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated [DATE], revealed the last dose of Percocet 5-325 mg was
given on [DATE] at 9:00 P.M.
During interview on [DATE] at 11:55 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #60 verified that Percocet 5-325
mg was not administered on [DATE] at 9:00 A.M. because the facility had been unable to reach the pain
medicine physician for a new prescription. During interview on [DATE] at 5:10 P.M., the Director of Nursing
(DON) confirmed the Percocet prescription was not available timely and the nursing staff should have
obtained a prescription five days before the prescription expired. The DON further revealed that she would
educate the staff to timely obtain medication prescriptions at least five days prior to the expiration date.
Review of the facility's policy titled Administering Medications, dated [DATE], revealed medications must be
administered in accordance with the orders, including any required time frame.

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 interview, the facility failed to ensure pharmacy recommendations were
addressed by the physician. This affected two (Resident #4 and #36) of five reviewed for unnecessary
medications.
Findings included:
1. Record review revealed Resident #4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including need
for assistance with personal care, pseudobulbar affect, major depression, pain, symbolic dysfunction,
peripheral vascular disease, psychosis, heart disease, anxiety, dementia, anemia, and osteoarthritis. The
resident was receiving Seroquel 25 milligrams (mg), an antipsychotic medication, daily for psychosis and
Celexa 10 mg, an antidepressant medication, daily for depression.
Review of Resident #4's monthly pharmacy medication regimen review flow sheet revealed the pharmacist
made recommendation to the prescriber on 01/14/19, 02/07/19, and 04/08/19. Further review revealed on
03/08/19 the pharmacist reviewed the residents record, however did not indicate if there were irregularities
or recommendations.
Review of Resident #4's pharmacy recommendations revealed no evidence the pharmacy
recommendations were addressed for 01/14/19, 02/07/19, 03/08/19, or 04/08/19.
Interview on 07/11/19 at 1:44 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #45 verified there was no documented
evidence the pharmacy recommendations were addressed by the physician on 01/14/19, 02/07/19, or
04/08/19. She found the blank recommendation for 01/14/19 that requested a stop date for Cephalexin, an
antibiotic medication, which there was no order; however, it was completed on 01/19/19. The 02/07/19
recommendation requested diagnoses on the two Seroquel orders, and she was not able to find the
recommendation for 03/08/19 or 04/08/19.
2. Record review revealed Resident #36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, urinary incontinence, hypertension, anxiety, dementia,
major depressive disorder, dysphagia, and psychosis.
Review of Resident #36's monthly pharmacy medication regimen review flow sheet revealed the pharmacist
made recommendations to the prescriber on 07/31/18, 11/19/18, and 02/18/19.
Review of Resident #36's pharmacy recommendations revealed no evidence of pharmacy
recommendations were addressed for 07/31/18, 11/19/18, and 02/18/19.
Interview on 07/11/19 at 1:44 P.M., with RN #45 verified she was unable to locate the pharmacy
recommendations for 07/31/18, 11/19/18, and 02/18/19. She was able to find blank copies of the pharmacy
recommendation for 11/19/18 and 02/18/19. The 11/19/18 recommendation was to change Metoprolol
(beta-blocker) 100 mg daily to 50 mg twice daily and 02/18/19 was for gradual dose reductions for Lexapro
(antidepressant) and Risperdal (antipsychotic). She was not able to find the recommendation for 07/31/18.
She confirmed there was no evidence the pharmacy recommendations mentioned above had been
addressed by the physician.

Review of the physicians order dated 05/18/19 revealed to give two tablets of 325 milligrams (mg) of
Acetaminophen (Tylenol), an analgesic, every four hours as needed for pain.
Review of the physicians order dated 05/20/19 revealed to give one tablet of 5-325 mg of
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (Vicodin), a narcotic pain medication, every eight hours as needed for
moderate to severe pain.
Review of the potential for pain care plan initiated 05/20/19 revealed the residents pain would be controlled.
Interventions included assess the resident for location, onset, origin, intensity of and precipitating factors of
pain utilizing a scale from zero to ten (mild, moderate and severe). Attempt to increase comfort through
non-pharmacological interventions and include the resident in the treatment plan.
Review of the May 2019 Medication Administrator Record (MAR) revealed Tylenol was given on 05/19/19
twice for a pain score of five and seven which was effective. Vicodin was given on 05/20/19, 05/21/19,
05/22/19, 05/24/19 and 05/25/19 without assessing the residents pain level and no Tylenol was attempted
prior. Also, for the doses of Vicodin given on 05/20/19, 05/21/19 and 05/25/19 there was no evidence of
attempting non-pharmalogical interventions prior to the administration of the Vicodin.
Review of the MDS 3.0 dated 05/25/19 revealed the resident had mild cognitive impairment, was on
scheduled and as needed pain medications and had occasional pain of intensity of a three from a scale of
zero to ten. No pain assessment was completed.
Review of the June 2019 MAR revealed no Tylenol was given for pain. Vicodin was given on 06/05/19
(twice), 06/06/19, 06/10/19, 06/11/19 (twice), 06/12/19 (twice), 06/13/19, 06/14/19, 06/15/19, 06/18/19,
06/19/19, 06/20/19 (twice), 06/21/19 (twice), 06/24/19, 06/25/19, 06/26/19 (twice), 06/27/19 twice and
06/29/19. The range of the pain scale was between three and eight. Also for doses of Vicodin given on
06/05/19, 0606/19, 06/11/19, 06/12/19, 06/13/19, 06/14/19, 06/15/19, 06/20/19, 06/25/19, 06/26/19 and
06/27/19 there was no evidence of attempting non-pharmalogical interventions prior to the administration of
the Vicodin.
Review of the July 2019 MAR revealed Tylenol was given on 07/03/19, 07/04/19, 07/05/19 and 07/09/19
with pain scores between three and eight. Vicodin was given on 07/01/19, 07/02/19, 07/03/19, 06/06/19,
07/06/19, 07/08/19, 07/09/19 and 07/10/19 with a pain scale between four and six. Also there was no
evidence of attempting non-pharmalogical interventions prior to administration of the Vicodin.
On 07/09/19 at 5:45 P.M., interview with LPN #51 with review of the orders and the MAR's for July 2019
revealed first non-pharmalogical interventions should be attempted prior to giving any as needed
medications. If that does not work, Tylenol should be attempted and then if the Tylenol was ineffective the
Vicodin should be given. LPN #51 verified there was no evidence non-pharmalogical interventions were
attempted prior to giving the as needed pain medications and verified there were no parameters for giving
the Tylenol and Vicodin where given for the same pain levels, and they should not be interchangeable.

On 07/09/19 at 5:57 P.M., interview with the resident revealed she was very hard of hearing but was
interviewable. The resident stated she was always in pain but did not like to take anything unless she had to
and only wanted to take Tylenol, not any narcotics. She stated she was given one Tylenol pill for mild pain
and two Tylenol pills for worse pain. The resident denied knowing she took any narcotics. She stated she
would not want a narcotic because the more you take it the more you need it. Questioned the resident
again about the use of narcotics and she repeated the same thing. When asked if the nurses asked her to
rate her pain on a scale of zero to 10 she did not understand what that meant and stated they give her one
to two Tylenol pills depending on how bad her pain was at the time.
On 07/10/19 at 1:30 P.M., interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), with the Administrator
present, revealed the concerns with no consistency of when the nurses were giving the Tylenol versus the
Vicodin and no evidence of non-pharmalogical interventions prior to giving the as needed medications on
many of the days the medications were given. The ADON verified Tylenol should be given for a pain from
one to four and Vicodin for pain five to ten. She verified the May 2019 MAR did not use the pain scale prior
to giving the medications. The ADON was informed the resident was not aware she was taking Vicodin and
indicated she did not want to take the medication but only wanted to take Tylenol.
Review of the pain assessment and recognition policy, revised March 2018, revealed the staff should use a
consistent approach and a standardized pain assessment instrument appropriate to the resident's cognitive
level. Goals of pain treatment should be established and appropriate non-pharmalogical interventions such
as local heat or ice, repositioning, massage and conversation about the pain. Medication interventions
should be ordered and provided based on the resident's individual needs. An analgesic regimen should be
utilized first as the lowest risk medications before using more problematic or higher risk approaches.
Reduction in opioid analgesics are especially important in light of their limited efficacy in the treatment of
chronic pain and their many diverse significant side effects.
Based on record review, policy review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure orders for narcotic pain
medications used on an as needed basis included parameters in which the medication should be used.
This affected two (Resident #3 and #77) of six residents reviewed for unnecessary medications.
Findings include:
1. A review of Resident #3's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included leukemia and chronic blood clots of the deep veins of her right lower extremity.
A review of Resident #3's active physician's orders included orders for her to receive Acetaminophen 650
milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) every four hours as needed (prn) for moderate pain. She also had an order
to receive Oxycodone (a narcotic analgesic) 5 mg po every four hours prn for pain. The order for
Oxycodone did not include parameters that directed the nurses on when to administer the medication.
A review of Resident #3's medication administration record (MAR) for July 2019 revealed the resident
received Oxycodone on a prn basis daily. She received between two and five doses each day for pain. The
nurse administering the Oxycodone recorded the resident's pain level when the prn pain

medication was given. The MAR indicated the nurse administered the Oxycodone to the resident on
07/04/19 at 8:00 A.M. for a pain level of one on a one to ten scale. She received two doses of Oxycodone
on 07/04/19 at 1:00 P.M. and again on 07/09/19 at 4:07 P.M. for only a pain level of three on a one to ten
scale. She received a dose of the Oxycodone 5 mg on a prn basis on 07/07/19 at 9:56 A.M. for a pain level
of four on a one to ten scale. The remaining doses were used when the resident's pain was rated a five or
higher on a one to ten scale. Findings were verified by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #21.
A review of the facility's policy on administering pain medications, revised October 2010, revealed residents
were not at risk for addiction to narcotic analgesics if used as prescribed for moderate to severe pain.
On 07/10/19 at 2:59 P.M., an interview with LPN #21 revealed Resident #3 verbalized when she had pain.
He denied she was able to report the level of her pain using a one to ten scale, but they used a pain scale
for residents with cognitive impairment. He reported the resident had a standard Tylenol order to be given
on an a prn basis but she also had an order for Oxycodone prn. He reported he would consider mild pain to
be a pain level of four or less. He would consider a pain level of five or more to be moderate to severe pain
depending on how high the number was. He confirmed the order for the prn Oxycodone did not include any
parameters that directed the nurse as to when to administer the prn Oxycodone. He reported the
Oxycodone should not be used unless the resident was having moderate to severe pain. He denied he
would use the prn Oxycodone for any pain level less than five. He reported the resident tended to sleep a
lot during the day, and it could be related to her receiving the Oxycodone on an as needed basis when it
was not really necessary. He had not known the resident to have any pain above a four on a one to ten
scale when she was lying in bed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, review of manufacturer's package insert and staff interview, the facility failed to
ensure their medication error rate was less than 5%. There were three errors out of 27 opportunities for a
medication error rate of 11%. This affected one (Resident #41) of two residents reviewed for medication
administration.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident #41's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included chronic atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular
beating of the atria), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute angle closure glaucoma of
the left eye.
A review of Resident #41's active physician's orders revealed the resident was to receive Cardizem (a
calcium channel blocker used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation) 60 milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) twice
daily. He also had an order to receive Brimonidine Tartrate (medication used in the treatment of glaucoma)
solution 2% with directions to give one drop in the left eye twice a day. His orders also included the use of
Trelegy Ellipta aerosol powder (a combination inhaler of three different medications for the treatment of
COPD) 100 micrograms (mcg)- 62.5 mcg-25 mcg one puff once a day.
On 07/10/19 at 7:58 A.M., an observation of a medication administration for Resident #41 noted Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #21 to administer the resident his morning medications. The nurse administered
Brimonidine Tartrate solution 0.2% into the resident's right eye giving him two drops. After he gave the
medicated eye drop in the resident's right eye, the resident pointed to his left eye and informed the nurse he
should have given it in that eye. The nurse reassured the resident he gave it in the correct eye, but the
resident insisted the nurse should have given it in his left eye. He stated it was always the left eye the
nurses gave it in. The nurse acknowledged his mistake and told the resident he was correct, and it should
have been given in his left eye. He then handed the resident his pills for him to take that included Cardizem
120 milligrams (mg) among his other pills. The nurse pulled the medications from a pre-packaged plastic
bag that was sealed with all the medications that were due at that time. The front of the package listed all
the medications the resident was to receive at that particular time of day. The pills were individually
packaged inside that larger package with just the name of the medication and a dosage. He ended the
medication administration pass by giving the resident his Trelegy Ellipta aerosol powder 100 micrograms
(mcg)-62.5 mcg- 25 mcg inhaler to take. He handed the resident the inhaler after he primed it without
providing any instruction to the resident. The resident inhaled the contents with one long inhalation. He
handed the inhaler back to the nurse without rinsing his mouth with water. The nurse did not instruct him on
the need to rinse and spit after using the inhaler.
A reconciliation of Resident #41's medications that were observed to be given for the morning medication
pass was completed to check against the active physician's orders for errors. The active physician's orders
showed an order change that reduced the resident's Cardizem from 120 mg once daily to 60 mg twice a
day. The active physician's orders confirmed the resident's Brimonidine Tartrate solution 2% was to be given
in the left eye (instead of the right eye in which the nurse gave it in) and he was only to get one drop
instead of two that the nurse was observed to give. Findings were verified by LPN #21. He stated he would
have to contact the resident's physician and notify her of the medication errors he committed while giving
the resident his morning medications.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident #41's medication administration record (MAR) for July 2019 revealed the resident was
to receive Cardizem 60 mg po twice daily, Trelegy Ellipta 100 mcg- 62.5 mcg- 25 mcg one inhalation once
daily and Brimonidine Tartrate solution 2% with directions to instill one drop in the left eye twice a day. The
nurse initialed the medications were given as ordered. The MAR did include instructions to have the
resident rinse his mouth after each use.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of the manufacturer's package insert for the Trelegy Ellipta revealed the instructions for use
included the need to rinse the mouth after use. The directions were specific to rinse the mouth with water
after the use of the inhaler and to spit, do not swallow the water. LPN #21 acknowledged he did not advise
Resident #41 to rinse his mouth out with water and to spit after the use of the inhaler.
On 07/10/19 at 8:25 A.M., an interview with LPN #21 revealed he acknowledged his three medication
errors he committed with the morning medication pass to Resident #41. He stated he was really nervous
and was not used to someone watching him give medications when he erroneously administered two drops
of Brimonidine Tartrate into the resident's wrong eye. He confirmed the orders was to give one drop in the
left eye and not two drops in the right eye as he administered to the resident. He stated the error with the
Cardizem was due to the packaging the medication came in. It still included Cardizem 120 mg capsules
with the direction to give 120 mg once daily as previously ordered. He stated night shift should pull out the
old package when the new prepackaged medication came in from the pharmacy with the new dosage
ordered. He stated it was ultimately his responsibility to ensure he gave the correct medication, and he
should have known by looking at the MAR the dosage was reduced to 60 mg twice daily. He knew the
resident should have rinsed his mouth with water and spit the water out without swallowing but
acknowledged he did not provide the resident the instructions to do so or hand him a cup of water to rinse
and spit after the inhaler was given. He confirmed he informed the physician of the errors and stated the
physician instructed them to hold the resident's evening dose of Cardizem since he administered the daily
dose at one time instead of two divided doses. They were to monitor him for bradycardia (low pulse rate of
less than 60 beats per minute).

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
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 and physician interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident did not
experience a significant medication error during a medication administration observation. This affected one
(Resident #41) of two residents reviewed for medication administration.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident #41's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included chronic atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by a rapid and
irregular beating of the atria).
A review of Resident #41's active physician's orders revealed he was to receive Cardizem (a calcium
channel blocker used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation) 60 milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) twice a day. The
resident had been on Cardizem 120 mg po every day, but an order was given to change the dose to 60 mg
by mouth twice a day on 07/08/19 after the resident was transferred to the hospital for bradycardia (low
heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute).
On 07/10/19 at 7:58 A.M., a medication administration observation for Resident #41 noted Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #21 to administer the resident his morning medications. Among the medications
given, LPN #21 gave the resident Cardizem 120 mg po. The medications were pulled from a prepackaged
pack that contained all the medications that were due for a particular day at a particular time. The
prepackaged pack from the facility's contracted pharmacy that was pulled from the medication cart for
Resident #41's morning medication pass for 07/10/19 included a Cardizem 120 mg capsule. The nurse
administered the medication to the resident and signed off on the medication administration record (MAR)
that the medication had been given.
A review of Resident #41's MAR for July 2019 revealed the MAR showed the resident was to receive
Cardizem 60 mg po twice a day. The times for the Cardizem to be given were 9:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. LPN
#21 initialed that he gave the resident Cardizem 60 mg by mouth as ordered despite giving the resident
Cardizem 120 mg by mouth that was included in the pre-packaged pack sent from the pharmacy. Findings
were confirmed with LPN #21.
On 07/10/19 at 8:25 A.M., an interview with LPN #21 revealed he did commit a significant medication error
with Resident #41 when he gave the resident double the dose of Cardizem that he should have. He stated
he pulled the Cardizem from the pre-packaged pack sent from the pharmacy that still had a Cardizem 120
mg capsule in it. He was not aware the resident's Cardizem dose had recently been changed from 120 mg
once a day to 60 mg twice a day due to him having bradycardia thought to be caused by receiving the
Cardizem at 120 mg in a one time dose. He reported it was normally the night shift nurse's responsibility to
remove the pre-packaged packs that contained the old medications when a change in dosage occurred and
the new packages arrived, but it was ultimately his responsibility to make sure he administered the proper
dose. He acknowledged he should have noted the Cardizem was changed to 60 mg in two divided dosages
instead of 120 mg in one dose by looking at the MAR. He indicated he would have to contact the physician
to notify her of his medication error.
On 07/10/19 at 8:40 A.M., a follow up interview with LPN #21 revealed he had contacted the physician and
notified her of his medication error pertaining to giving the resident twice the dose of his Cardizem. He
stated the resident received 60 mg of Cardizem the evening of 07/09/19 and he gave 120

mg the morning of 07/10/19. The physician instructed them to hold the evening dose of Cardizem 60 mg
that was scheduled for 07/10/19 at 9:00 P.M. The physician reported she would evaluate the resident when
she visited the facility that day.
A review of a physician progress note for 07/10/19 revealed the physician had seen Resident #41 for a
medication error. The physician indicated she had been in the facility when LPN #21 notified her of giving
Resident #41 the wrong dose of Cardizem as he gave the resident 120 mg when 60 mg was ordered. The
physician stated in her note she had recently changed the resident's dose over the weekend for
bradycardia. The resident was asymptomatic when examined by the physician. She encouraged him to
increase his fluid intake that day in an effort to flush out the medication. Poison control had been contacted
by the facility's nursing administration staff at the direction of the physician and they were directed to just
monitor the resident without any further recommendations. The resident's cardiologist was also notified of
the medication error. An appointment with the cardiologist was made for August 2019 to follow up after the
recent change in his Cardizem dosage. The physician requested an electrocardiogram (EKG) which
showed sinus bradycardia of 56 nonspecific changes were noted. She ordered vital signs every hour until
6:00 P.M. that evening and then every shift that night thereafter. She directed them to hold the Cardizem 60
mg that evening and then for a heart rate less than 55 beats per minute.
A review of Resident #41's orders after his physician visit revealed the facility's nursing staff were also to
notify the physician if the resident had any dizziness, lightheadedness or if his heart rate was less than 50
beats per minute. They could resume the Cardizem 60 mg po twice a day beginning 07/11/19.
On 07/10/19 at 9:50 A.M., an interview with Physician #500 revealed she assessed Resident #41 after it
was reported to her that there was a medication error that pertained to his Cardizem. She reported the
resident was currently stable and he was asymptomatic. His heart rate was regular at 60 beats per minute.
She stated that was their concern now (referring to his heart rate). She reported they had obtained an EKG
that was normal. She confirmed her orders were to obtain vital signs every hour until 6:00 P.M. that evening
and then to obtain vital signs every shift through the remainder of the night. They planned to hold his
evening dose of Cardizem. She indicated they had contacted the resident's cardiologist about the
medication error and had also contacted him the day prior to about his heart rate being in the high 30's over
the weekend. She reported the resident had been sent to the hospital for an evaluation the prior weekend
for bradycardia. It was then, they decided to divide his daily dose of Cardizem into two divided doses giving
him 60 mg twice a day instead of 120 mg once a day. She confirmed he had a follow up with the
cardiologist scheduled for some time the first week or two of August. She reported they were considering
the use of intravenous (IV) fluids if he became symptomatic but he was drinking well on his own. The
cardiologist did not recommend IV fluids to be given due to him having a history of congestive heart failure.
She wanted the nursing staff to monitor the resident for dizziness, lightheadedness and a heart rate less
than 55 beats per minute.

Findings include:
On 07/08/19 at 10:16 A.M., [NAME] #91 was observed preparing the pureed chicken patties. She put 13
patties and two cups of water into the Robot Coupe. Pureed them together, removed the chicken from the
Robot Coupe and placed in the steamer to keep warm.
On 07/08/19 at 10:24 A.M., interview with [NAME] #91 verified she did not follow a recipe and just added
water to the chicken patties to puree them. She was not able to find the recipe for the puree patties when
asked.
On 07/09/19 at 4:36 P.M., [NAME] #89 took the tray line temperatures which included the turkey salad and
macaroni salad which were both 40 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and the mixed vegetables which were 160
degrees F. At 4:42 P.M., the started plating the main entree for the 16 residents on the skilled unit. The main
entree was cold turkey salad sandwich, cold macaroni salad, soup and milk. She plated the cold items on a

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper sanitation during the
operation of the dish machine, during tray line, and for the ice machine. This had the potential to affect the
99 residents who received meals from the facility. The facility identified one resident (Resident #11) who did
not receive meals from the facility. The facility census was 100.
Findings include:
On 07/08/19 during the initial tour of the kitchen between 10:00 A.M. and 10:30 A.M., revealed there was a
Dietary Aide (DA) #123 and [NAME] #89 operating the dish machine. They were half way done with the
breakfast dishes. Interview with [NAME] #89 verified she did not know if the dish machine was a high
temperature or chemical and did not test nor did she know how to test to ensure the dish machine was
properly operating. Interview with DA #123 verified she did not check the dish machine for proper operation
but stated it was a chemical DM. Neither the cook nor the DA were able to locate the dish machine log.
On 07/08/19 at 10:15 A.M., this was verified by Dietary Manager (DM) #32, who also was not able to locate
the dish machine log.
On 07/08/19 at 10:25 A.M., observation of the ice machine revealed a thick black buildup of a slimy
substance the distance across the entire lip of the inside of the machine were the ice was dispensed. This
was verified by DM #32 at the time of the observation.
On 07/09/19 during tray line observation between 4:30 P.M. and 5:06 P.M., revealed flies and gnats were
flying around and landing on the various food items on tray line including the buns, turkey salad, macaroni
salad and hot dogs. This was verified by [NAME] #89 and Dietary Aid (DA) #123, who indicated it had been
an ongoing problem. At 4:36 P.M., [NAME] #89 began taking the food temperatures. [NAME] #89 took the
temperature of the pureed macaroni salad, turkey salad, macaroni salad and did not clean or sanitize the
thermometer before or after each temperature was taken. [NAME] #89 then grabbed another thermometer
and took the temperature of the mixed vegetables and then the pureed soup without cleaning or sanitizing
between temperatures taken. Now each of the two thermometers had a build up of food on them. [NAME]
#89 asked DA #123 to rinse off the thermometers. DA #123 with her gloved hands went to the dish machine
and used the hose to rinse off the thermometers and returned holding the thermometers by the stems with
her same gloved hands. [NAME] #89 then used one of the thermometers to take the temperature of the
hamburgers. After this [NAME] #89 verified the above concerns and requested Dietary Manager (DM) #32
get her a different thermometer. DM #32 returned with a new thermometer that had never been used by the
staff. [NAME] #89 placed the thermometer in the cream of mushroom soup. After this [NAME] #89 verified
she did not clean the thermometer prior to use because it came from the packet and had never been used.
The above was verified by DM #32.
On 07/09/19 at 5:07 P.M., interview with DM #32 verified the DA monthly cleaning schedule did not include
cleaning of the ice machine, and she was not able to say the last time the ice machine was cleaned and
verified the ice machine serviced the entire facility.
On 07/10/19 at 4:00 P.M., interview with the Administrator verified the above findings.

Based on review of the infection control log, observation, interview and policy review, the facility failed to
ensure Legionella monitoring, a comprehensive infection control program was implemented, and ensure
proper washing/handling of isolation laundry. This had the potential to affect all 100 residents residing in the
facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
1. Review of the infection control log dated 06/19 to 07/19 revealed no evidence of infection control log for
06/19 for the skilled unit, second floor and the third floor, only tract infections for the first three days
(06/01/19 to 06/03/19). There was no evidence of an infection control log for 07/19.
Interview on 07/10/19 at 2:47 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she was not able to locate
the complete infection control log for 06/19 except for one page for the third floor started for the first three
days of June. There was no infection control log for 07/19.
2. The surveyor requested evidence of Legionella program and monitoring per the facility policy during the
survey progress, however the facility was not able to provide documentation.
Review of Legionella Water Management Program policy, dated 07/17, revealed the facility was committed
to the prevention, detection, and control of water-borne contaminants, including Legionella. The water
management program would be overseen by the water management team. The program would identify
areas in the water system where Legionella bacteria could grow and spread. The water management
program would include a team, description and diagram of the water system in the facility, identifying areas
of growth, specific measures used to control the introduction or spread of Legionella (water temperatures,
disinfectants), control limits/parameters, system to monitor the control limits and the effectiveness of control
measure, a plan when the control limits were not met or not effective, and documentation of the program.

3. Interview and observation of the laundry room with Housekeeper #111 on 07/11/19 at 9:21 A.M.,
revealed all laundry was delivered to the laundry room through a laundry shoot. The laundry was observed
to be in clear trash bag liners. The bags were not identified as isolation (MRSA and C-diff). The
housekeeper reported isolation laundry used to come to the laundry room in red bags and was washed
separately from the other laundry, however recently he was told red bags were no longer required. He
confirmed there was no way to identify if the current laundry bags were isolation since the change.
Currently all laundry, including isolation, would be sorted and put in the in the proper bin and then washed
all together. There was a bin noted for bed lines, gowns, etc. All linens/gowns were washed in bleach,
however personal laundry items would not be washed in bleach. The nursing staff try to encourage
residents in isolation to wear gowns, so they can be bleached. Observation of the washing machine hot
water temperatures revealed the water was 143 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The MD reported the highest hot
water temperature he reached was 156.
