Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to provide evidence of interventions included on a
resident's plan of care were implemented when a resident was having self injurious behaviors. This affected
one of three residents (#32) records reviewed for incidents. The facility census was 85.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #32 revealed an admission date of 01/05/23. At the time of the
survey, Resident #32 was at the hospital. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction, type two diabetes
mellitus, schizophrenia, post traumatic stress disorder, and chronic kidney disease stage three.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/19/23, revealed Resident #32 had
impaired cognition. The resident required supervision for bed mobility, one person physical assist with
transfers and ambulation. Resident #32 had behavioral symptoms not directed towards others such as
hitting self, pacing, disrobing in public, throwing food or bodily waste, verbal symptoms such as screaming,
disrupting sounds and rejection of care.
Review of the plan of care dated 07/29/22 revealed Resident #32 was at risk for behavior symptoms related
to Alzheimer's disease, dementia, affects of cerebral vascular accident, alcoholism, closed head injury,
mental illness, and schizophrenia with suicidal and homicidal ideation. Interventions included administer
medications per physician order, attempt psychotropic drug reduction per physician orders as needed,
observe for mental status/behavior changes when new medication was started or with changes in dose and
provide consistent approaches when giving care. On 04/23/23 interventions added included frequent
checks by staff to observe for behaviors, leave door to the room open for improved observations, and
monitor for targeted behaviors such as depression, overwhelming fear, nervousness and anxiety. If the
resident exhibited symptoms provide a quiet environment, monitor for thirst and hunger, provide fluids and
snacks of resident's preference and redirection.
Review of the plan of care dated 12/09/22 revealed Resident #32 had verbal and physical agitation and
aggression, paranoia, refused medications, refused care delivery such as showers, incontinence care and
meals related to cognitive impairment and mental illness. Interventions included administer medication per
the physician orders, approach from slightly to the side of the resident, provide diversional activity, remove
from public area when behaviors was disruptive or unacceptable, provide one on one time that was noninterrupted and non- care related, use consistent routine and caregivers for activities of daily living.
