Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of resident funds, staff interview and policy review, the facility failed to issue spend down
notifications to resident when their funds account was within $200.00 of the Medicaid resource limit. This
practice affected two (#4 and #27) out of four residents reviewed for resident funds. Facility census was 57.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the resident funds account information revealed there were no evidence of spend down
notifications issued to Resident #4 with a balance of $2,609.21 or to Resident #27 with a current balance of
$1821.95.
Interview on 08/30/18 at 1:00 P.M. with Human Resource (HR) #350 and Medical Records (MR) #340
provided verification of the lack of notification of spend down being sent to Residents #4 or #27.
Review of the facility policy titled Resident Trust Fund dated 12/01/14 revealed a notification letter to the
resident or representative whenever the funds were within $200.00 of the resource limit.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident record review and staff interview, the facility failed to develop a baseline care plan for a resident
who was administered an anticoagulant medication. This affected one (#256) of six residents reviewed for
unnecessary medication use. The census was 57.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #257 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Diagnoses include chronic bronchitis, upper respiratory infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, hypertension, chronic atrial fibrillation, atherosclerotic heart disease, alcohol abuse, morbid
obesity, hypersomnia, acute metabolic encephalopathy, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia.
Review of Resident #257's physician orders dated 08/17/18, revealed an order for the anticoagulant
medication Pradaxa (dabigatran) 150 milligrams (mg) one capsule to be administered by mouth two times a
day.
Review of the medication administration record dated 08/18 revealed Pradaxa was administered to
Resident #257 twice a day on 08/18/18, 08/19/18, 08/20/18, 08/22/18, 08/23/18, and 08/24/18, and once a
day on 08/25/18, 08/26/18, and 08/28/18.
Review of the baseline care plan dated 08/17/18 revealed the care plan was incomplete. The baseline care
plan did not identify Resident #257 was ordered an anticoagulant medication and did not include monitoring
for anticoagulant side effects.
Interview on 08/30/18 at 1:33 P.M. with the director of nursing (DON) verified the baseline careplan for
Resident #257 was incomplete. The DON verified the careplan did not identify Resident #257's
anticoagulant use or monitoring for anticoagulant medication side effects. The DON further verified the
medical record for Resident #257 contained no documentation of the facility monitoring for anticoagulant
medication side effects.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of a facility policy, the facility failed to ensure
justification for a resident's urinary catheter. This affected one (#2) of one residents reviewed for urinary
catheters. The facility identified one resident with a urinary catheter. Facility census was 57.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #2's medical record revealed an admission date of 07/24/16. Medical diagnoses
included diabetes mellitus, constipation, hypertension, major depressive disorder, dementia without
behavioral disturbance, polyneuropathy, retention of urine, and cerebral atherosclerosis.
Review of the resident's physician's orders revealed an order written on 06/11/18 for a urinary catheter to
help with healing of a wound. On 06/25/18, an order was written to change the diagnosis for the urinary
catheter to urinary retention.
Review of the resident's nursing notes revealed an entry on 07/23/18 indicating the resident's coccyx
wounds were healed, but remained tender.
Continued review of the medical record revealed no evidence indicating the resident had been checked for
urinary residuals.
Review of the resident's care plan dated 06/18/18 revealed the resident was at risk for complications from
usage of urinary catheter to help promote healing of skin due to moderate skin erosion. On 06/26/18, the
care plan was revised to include a new diagnosis of urinary retention.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/29/18 at 2:47 P.M. verified there was no clinical
justification for the resident's diagnosis of urinary retention. She stated she spoke with the medical director
regarding the resident's urinary catheter and requested supporting documentation. The medical director
gave the DON an order to discontinue the urinary catheter and to check for residual every shift, call the
medical director if residual greater than 300 milliliters. The DON verified there was no documentation of
residuals prior to 08/29/18.
Review of an undated facility policy titled Incontinence Management revealed appropriate indications for
use of a chronic indwelling catheter in the long-term care setting included urinary retention that: causes
persistent overflow incontinence, symptomatic infections, or renal dysfunction, cannot be corrected
surgically or medically, cannot be practically managed with intermittent catheterization, short-term for skin
wounds or pressure ulcers when other measures are not viable and healing is enhanced by keeping the
area dry, provision of palliative care or care of severely impaired residents for whom bed and clothing
changes are uncomfortable or disruptive, preference of a resident who has not responded to more specific
treatments.

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on time sheet review, review of staff schedule, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide
registered nurse (RN) coverage for eight consecutive hours seven days a week. This had the potential to
affect all 57 residents residing at the facility. The census was 57.
Finding include:
Review of Registered Nurse (RN) #330's time sheet dated 08/01/19 to 08/26/18, revealed on Saturday,
08/04/18 RN #330 provided six hours of coverage at the facility. Further review of the time sheet revealed
on Saturday, 08/25/18, the RN provided coverage at the facility for five and a half hours (10:00 A.M. to 3:30
P.M.) and on Sunday, 08/26/18, RN coverage was provided for five and a half hours (12:00 P.M. to 5:30
P.M.).
Review of the director of nursing's (DON)'s monthly schedule dated 08/18, revealed the DON was not at the
facility on 08/04/18. Continued review of the DON's schedule revealed the DON was at the facility on
08/18/18 from 12:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. and on 08/19/18 from 1:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. Documentation revealed
on 08/18/18 and 08/19/18 the hours worked by the DON were to provide state tested nurse aid (STNA)
hours. Further review of the DON's schedule revealed the DON was at the facility on 08/25/18 from 9:00
P.M. to 12:00 A.M. Documentation revealed the hours worked by the DON on 08/25/18 were for STNA
duties. Review of the DON's schedule dated 08/26/18 revealed the DON logged hours work on from 12:00
A.M. to 12:30 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. Documentation revealed the hours worked by the DON
08/26/18 were worked to provide residents with STNA care.
Review of RN #330's time sheet and the DON's monthly schedule revealed RN coverage was not provided
for eight consecutive hours on 08/04/18, 08/18/18, 08/19/18, 08/25/18, or 08/26/18.
Interview on 08/29/18 at 4:00 P.M. with the DON revealed the DON did not work weekend. The DON
reported the ADON was responsible for providing RN coverage every weekend. The DON revealed the
ADON was paid a set salary wage during the week for the ADON position and clocked in and out on the
weekends when providing the required RN coverage.
Interview on 08/30/18 at 9:50 A.M. with RN #330 revealed the RN worked at the facility every weekend
unless he/she had personal things to do. RN #330 verified six hours of RN coverage was provided on
Saturday 08/04/18. The RN further verified he/she was not at the facility on Saturday, 08/11/18; Sunday,
08/12/18; Saturday, 08/18/18, or Sunday, 08/19/18. RN #330 verified RN coverage was provided on
Saturday, 08/25/18 for five and a half hours, and on Sunday, 08/26/18 for five and a half hours. The facility
confirmed this had the potential to affect all 57 residing in the facility.

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** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, and review of a facility policy, the facility failed to ensure an as
needed (PRN) antianxiety psychotropic medication was time limited to fourteen days. In addition, the facility
failed to ensure a resident received non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) prior to the administration of
an as needed antianxiety psychotropic medication. This affected one (#56) of five residents reviewed for
unnecessary medications. The facility identified 19 residents who receive antianxiety psychotropic
medications. The facility census was 57.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #56's medical record revealed an admission date of 08/04/18. Medical diagnoses
included orthopedic aftercare, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, and
osteoarthritis. Review of the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident
received antianxiety medication six times during the look back assessment period. The resident's brief
interview for mental status exam score was 11, indicating moderate impairment in cognition.
Review of the resident's physician's orders dated 08/08/18 revealed an order for alprazolam (psychotropic
antianxiety medication) one milligram (mg) by mouth three times daily (tid) PRN for anxiety, 90 tablets.
There was no justification to extend the order beyond 14 days.
Review of the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2018 revealed the resident
received the PRN alprazolam ten times. Continued review of the MAR revealed the back of the MAR
contained three entries (08/04/18, 08/05/18, and 08/25/18) regarding the administration of alprazolam for
increased anxiety. There was no documentation of NPI's attempted prior to the administration of the
alprazolam.
Review of the resident's nursing notes from 08/04/18 through 08/30/18 revealed an entry on 08/08/18 and
08/21/18 indicating the resident requested and received her PRN alprazolam.
Review of the resident's care plan dated 08/14/18 revealed a care plan for the resident's risk of side effects
due to use of psychotropic drug use related to anxiety/depression. Interventions included behavior tracking
per facility policy. There was no intervention to address NPI's prior to the administration of alprazolam.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/30/18 at 10:00 A.M. verified the resident's PRN
alprazolam order was not time limited to 14 days and there was no justification to extend the order past 14
days. She also verified there were only five times the nursing staff documented when the resident received
her PRN alprazolam. She stated they did not document NPI's prior to giving PRN alprazolam as the
resident just requested it.
Review of an undated facility policy titled Behavior Management revealed the interdisciplinary team was to
ensure the following was completed before a psychoactive medication was administered: appropriate NPI's
have been identified prior and implemented based on an individual resident assessment that included
modification of the resident's environment, modification/elimination of psychological stressors to
accommodate the resident's previous lifelong activities, habits or roles, modification of

Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of the facility monthly infection control surveillance logs for July and August 2018 revealed there

Additionally, the floor nurse was responsible for completing a facility form dated 06/16 titled,
Infection/Antibiotic Report for each antibiotic prescribed. The form included McGreer's Criteria (criteria for
infections in long term care facilities) for infections but did not indicate what criteria indicated a true infection
and did not contain the most updated McGreer's criteria guidelines.
Interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #330 on 08/30/18 at 1:36 P.M. verified the facility form
Infection/Antibiotic Report did not indicate what criteria indicated a true infection and did not contain the
most updated McGreer's criteria guidelines. She verified not all infections listed on the log qualified as true
infections based on current McGreer's Criteria. The facility confirmed this had the potential to affect all 57

Review of a facility policy titled Antibiotic Stewardship Program revealed the infection control coordinator
would track antibiotic starts, monitoring adherence to McGreer's Criteria. The facility would follow McGreer's
infection criteria for determination of actual infections.
