The DON verified Resident #56 had expressed multiple signs of pain after the fall and there was no documentation of pain medications given to Resident #56 before the resident was sent out to the hospital on [DATE] after 6:00 P.M. The DON verified a stat x-ray was unsuccessful because Resident #56 was unable to sit still related to pain. The DON also stated she could not provide an explanation on why the nurses did not treat Resident #56's pain, but that's part of the reasons why these nurses were no longer employed at the facility. Review of the facility policy titled, Pain Assessment and Management, revised in March 2020, revealed the purposes of this procedure were to help the staff identify pain in the resident, and to develop interventions that were consistent with the resident's goals and needs and that address the underlying causes of pain. Pain Management was defined as the process of alleviating the resident's pain to a level that is acceptable to the resident and is based on his or her clinical condition and established treatment goals. Acute pain should be assessed every 30 to 60 minutes after the onset and reassessed as indicated until relief was obtained. Ask the resident if he/she was experiencing pain. Be aware the resident may avoid the term pain and use other descriptors such as throbbing, aching, hurting, cramping, numbness or tingling. Review the medication administration record to determine how often the individual requests and receive as needed pain medication, and to what extent the administered medications relieve the resident's pain. 365423 Page 17 of 24 365423 03/04/2025 Mount Washington Care Center 6900 Beechmont Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45230

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of the medical record, observations, staff interviews, review of online resources from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and policy review, the facility failed to provide appropriate infection control measures while performing incontinence care and failed to ensure enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) were implemented and followed according to guidelines. This affected one Resident (#17) of the 17 residents reviewed for incontinence care and being on EBPs. The facility census was 80. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #17 revealed an admission date of 06/18/16. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease, type two diabetes mellitus, paranoid schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder. Review of the Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed Resident #17 was unable to complete a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) because he was rarely/never understood.

Review of the hospital records dated 02/22/25, revealed Resident #17 was admitted to the hospital for a urinary tract infection (UTI). Resident #17 had a history of frequent UTI's with extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL).

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of CDC website at (https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/hcp/prevent-mdro/faqs.html) dated 06/28/24, revealed infection control management of MDROs in healthcare settings revealed MDRO's were defined as microorganisms, predominantly bacteria, that were resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents. ESBL was considered a MDRO and was resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobial agents. EBPs are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of MDROs in nursing homes. EBPs precautions involve gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities for residents known to be colonized or infected with a MDRO as well as those at increased risk of MDRO acquisition (e.g., residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices). Review of the facility policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, undated, revealed it was the policy of the facility to implement enhanced barrier precautions for the prevention of transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms. Enhanced barrier precautions referred to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms that employed targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. 365423 Page 24 of 24
