F 0688 Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure therapy recommendations were implemented upon discontinuation of therapy services. Actual harm occurred when Resident #1 had worsening contractures and decline in range of motion when restorative/maintenance programs for application of hand splints, passive range of motion (PROM) exercises and a timed out of bed schedule was not provided as recommended impacting the resident's mobility and skin integrity. This affected two residents (Resident #1 and #40) of three residents reviewed for range of motion. The census was 59. Findings include: 1.

She did open her eyes and fixate (her) gaze on the therapist. She was admitted with resting hand splints (a splint used to maintain hand(s) in functional positioning by supporting the hand and wrist joint during periods of inactivity). The resident was evaluated by physical therapy on 06/07/22. Initial evaluation included the resident was totally dependent for sitting, with no right or left upper or lower extremity strength. The resident was readmitted to the hospital and returned to the facility 06/18/22. The Occupational therapy evaluation (upon re-admission) was unchanged and included she was admitted with two resting hand splints however they would need to be trialed and slightly modified due to bilateral upper extremity contractures and wear tolerance of two hours. The resident had a left elbow contraction with 55-140 degrees of motion on the left and 40-150 degrees on the right elbow (normal ROM of the elbow is 180 degrees). The resident was approved for a specified number of therapy visits, three of which were used for Occupational Therapy, and discharged from therapy on 06/24/22 until she could be re-evaluated under Medicaid part B. She was discharged with hand splints up to two hours a day and weighted stuffed animals to her arms since the left arm brace did not arrive.

The resident was also to hold a large stuffed animal to left elbow to prevent contracture. Education was provided to the Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing and restorative/ MDS nurse on donning resting hand splints every four hours and not using washcloths because they do not prevent worsening of contractures. PROM education prior to donning splints was provided. Review of the medical record revealed no evidence a restorative or maintenance program was written for the nursing staff to provide. There were no instructions for the STNAs to follow, there was no physician order or treatment orders written and there was no restorative plan of care. On 03/06/23 a therapy screening was completed for Resident #1 and therapy services for contractures, positioning for promotion of skin integrity, as well as increased out of bed participation was planned. The resident was re-evaluated on 03/08/23 by occupational therapy secondary to having an increase of contractures and poor out of bed tolerance. The resident presented with decreased joint mobility in bilateral upper extremities impacting her positioning and skin integrity. The resident was re-evaluated 03/15/23 by physical therapy due to decreased range of motion in her lower extremities and had a decrease in her prior level of function with PROM of left hip abductor declining from 30 degrees of motion to 15 degrees, left hip flexion declining from 100 degrees of motion to 70 degrees, and PROM to knee extension declining from zero extension to minus 15 degrees. The goal was to improve trunk and lower extremity range of motion to improve positioning in bed and up in chair. The resident had no existing lower extremity contracture. The left lower extremity was tight in all muscle groups. The resident presented with decreasing range of motion in bilateral lower extremities and trunk due to neurological insult of traumatic brain injury and being bedfast.
