F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, record review, review of facility self-reported incidents (SRIs), and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure physician's orders were followed to prevent potential resident-to-resident abuse. This affected three residents (#7, #21, and #37) of 18 residents reviewed for abuse. This had the potential to affect three other residents (#18, #19, and #67) on the 400-Unit. The facility census was 81. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #37 revealed an admission date of 12/15/23 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, mild cognitive impairment, and anxiety. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #37 was able to understand staff and was able to be understood. She refused to answer questions on the cognitive assessment; however, staff stated she had impaired memory. Resident #37 knew she was in a nursing home, where her room was, staff names and faces, and the season. Staff stated Resident #37 was independent regarding decision making for tasks of daily life. Review of the facility SRIs tracking number 247416 dated 05/12/24 revealed at 1:20 P.M. Resident #37 went into Resident #21's room and slapped her in the face. No injuries were noted, and Resident #37 was placed on 15-minute-checks. Additionally, a door alarm was placed to notify staff of wandering. Review of the facility SRIs tracking number 247423 dated 05/12/24 revealed at 18:15 P.M. a state tested nurse aide (STNA) had just left a resident's room after providing care and observed Resident #37 stand, approach Resident #7 and slap her once on both sides of the face. The STNA immediately responded and placed Resident #37 on a couch in the lounge area. Resident #7 was taken to her room. Both residents were assessed, and no injuries were noted. Resident #37 was provided one-on-one supervision until transported to the hospital for evaluation for escalating behaviors. While at the hospital, Resident #37's labs and urinalysis were withing normal limits. When she returned to the facility, she continued on one-on-one observations at all times to monitor behaviors. Review of the monthly physician's orders for June 2024 revealed Resident #37 had an order dated 05/13/24 for constant one-on-one supervision for prevention and safety. Review of the medication administration record (MAR) and treatment administration record (TAR) for June 2024 for Resident #37 revealed staff were documenting she was to have one-on-one supervision.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 06/12/24 at 10:32 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #1232 revealed she was aware there was an issue with getting Resident #2's oral chemotherapy medications as the insurance would not cover it, so the pharmacy would not send the medication. She stated Resident #2's oncologist was aware and stated to hold the medication until the facility received it. She did verify before the facility admitted someone, the admissions office reviewed the resident's medications to ensure they could provide the care and services to the resident. She was unable to state why the medications were not available on admission if the facility had followed this process. RN #1232 stated she was also not aware Resident #2 had any further appointments with her oncologist, Physician #1296.

He verified the facility had not called his office after 02/28/24 to update him that Resident #2 was not taking her medications due to unavailability. He was unable to confirm or deny if this delay in medication hindered her treatment course. Review of the facility policy titled, Medication Administration, revised May 2024, revealed nursing staff were to review the electronic medication administration record for medication administration orders and instructions and to provide the medication within one hour prior to or after the time ordered. There was nothing in the facility procedure to advise nursing staff on what to do if the medication was unavailable except that a pharmacy policy and procedure manual was available for additional guidance.

During observation, RN #1275 performed hand hygiene, put gloves on, cleaned Resident #15's bedside table, removed her gloves, washed her hands, put gloves on, cleaned Resident #15's central line venous catheter tubing end and then flushed the central with 10 milliliters (mL) of normal saline.
