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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, observation, record review, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure Resident #54's
passive range of motion and splint for the right upper extremity was completed per the occupational therapy
recommendation. This affected one resident (Resident #54) of one resident reviewed for use of splints. This
had the potential to affect five residents (Resident's #1, #10, #18, #53, #54) that had occupational therapy
recommendations for splints. The facility census was 65.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #54 revealed an admission date of 01/10/18 and diagnoses
including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting the right dominant side,
hypertension, and cognitive communication deficit.
Review of the care plan dated 04/27/20 revealed Resident #54 had multiple medical diagnoses including
her right side was flaccid and right hemiparesis. Interventions included right hand splint as ordered. There
were no interventions regarding passive range of motion to right hand and elbow.
Review of the Occupational Discharge summary dated [DATE] and authored by Occupational Therapist
(OT) #607 revealed Resident #54 received occupational therapy from 04/01/22 to 04/28/22. The discharge
summary recommended a restorative program be established including a restorative range of motion
program and a restorative splint and brace program. The summary revealed passive range of motion was to
be completed to Resident #54's right hand and elbow and a right-hand splint was to be worn six to eight
hours per day as tolerated.
Review of the form labeled Therapy Follow-Up Treatment Program, dated 04/29/22, authored by OT #607
revealed Resident #54 had passive range of motion exercises to the right hand and elbow with extended
stretch for three to five minutes and right finger and elbow extensions. The form revealed staff was to
perform range of motion, cleanse right hand, pat dry, and apply the right-hand splint. The form revealed
Resident #54 was to wear the right-hand splint daily, six to eight hours as tolerated.
Review of the July 2022 physician orders revealed Resident #54 had an order dated 05/30/20 to apply a
right-hand splint and right shoulder brace when out of bed as tolerated every day shift. There were no
physician's orders regarding range of motion exercises to the right hand and elbow or to wear right hand
splint six to eight hours per day as tolerated as per Occupational Discharge Summary or Therapy
Follow-Up Treatment program.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 dated 07/15/22 revealed Resident #54 had impaired
cognition and no behaviors. She required extensive assist of two staff for transfers and was unable to
ambulate. She required limited assist of one staff with locomotion on the unit. The MDS revealed no
restorative program was completed per the assessment period for passive range of motion and/or splint
assistance.
Interview and observation on 08/01/22 at 3:05 P.M. with Resident #54 revealed she was in bed, and she
stated she had not worn her right-hand splint today, 08/01/22, and she stated staff had not completed
passive range of motion. She revealed she was unsure when she was supposed to wear her splint. She

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 08/02/22 at 2:44 P.M. with State Tested Assistant (STNA) #602 revealed Resident #54 refused
almost every day to get out of bed. She revealed she thought Resident #54 was only to wear her right-hand
splint when she was up out of bed as she had never applied her splint when she was in bed.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 08/02/22 at 2:59 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #603 revealed Resident #54 had an order to
wear her right-hand splint only when she was out of bed. She revealed Resident #54 almost always refused
to get out of bed, so she very rarely wore her splint.
Interview on 08/03/22 at 1:46 P.M. with OT #607 revealed Resident #54 was to wear her right-hand splint in
and/ out of bed. He revealed he discharged Resident #54 from occupational therapy on 04/29/22 and
referred Resident #54 for restorative passive range of motion program and restorative splint program to her
right upper extremity. He revealed he provided nursing with the Therapy Follow- Up Treatment program
dated 04/29/22 with the new recommendations. He revealed Resident #54 was to wear her right-hand splint
six to eight hours per day as tolerated and he had not heard Resident #54 was not wearing her right-hand
splint or that passive range of motion was not being completed as he recommended per the Therapy
Follow-Up Treatment Program. He revealed Resident #54's order on her July 2022 physician order for right
hand splint and right shoulder brace when out of bed as tolerated every day shift was an old order and not
per the last occupational therapy recommendation on 04/29/22.
Interview on 08/03/22 at 1:52 P.M. with LPN #608 revealed she was the charge nurse for Resident #54 and
only worked at the facility as needed and had not worked at the facility for several months. She revealed
she signed off on the treatment administration record that the right-hand splint and right shoulder brace
when out of bed as tolerated every day shift had been applied but she verified that this was in error as she
had not seen the brace or splint on Resident #54 all day and did not know anything about her splint.
Interview on 08/03/22 at 1:58 P.M. with STNA #609 revealed she was the aide for Resident #54 and was
not aware when Resident #54 was to wear her right-hand splint, and she verified she had not applied her
right-hand splint today, 08/03/22.
Interview on 08/03/22 at 2:02 P.M. with the Director of Nursing revealed she had worked at the facility since
November 2021 and since then the facility had not had any restorative programs. She revealed any referral
received from therapy, nursing placed the order on the treatment administration record (TAR) including
range of motion and splints for the nurse and the aide to complete on the floor for that resident. She verified
the order on Resident #54's physician's order for the right-hand splint and right shoulder brace when out of
bed as tolerated every day shift dated 05/20/20 was an old order and the new recommendations from the
last occupational therapy discharge summary and Therapy Follow-Up Treatment Program dated 04/29/22
for passive range of motion and right-hand splint for six to eight hours per day as tolerated was not
transcribed to Resident #54's orders. She verified she had no documented evidence passive range of
motion was completed for Resident #54 as recommended.
Review of the undated facility policy labeled Splint/ Brace Application revealed qualified nursing personnel
would ensure that residents received correct application and care of splints and braces to promote proper
joint alignment, healing, avoid complications of immobility while monitoring skin integrity and avoiding
discomfort. The policy revealed a splint and brace was individualized to reflect resident needs and
functional problems. The policy revealed the splint wearing schedule orders
