She stated the room move did not occur because the healthcare team did not feel it would be ideal for them to be roommates and Resident #47's son did not want her to be moved. SSA #635 indicated the surveyor should discuss this further with the Interim Director of Nursing because she really only documented on the room move and was not involved with the decision not to move the resident. Interview with Interim Director of Nursing #325 on 10/20/21 at 3:20 P.M. revealed she did not know why Resident #47 was not moved to the room with her friend after she was told she would be moved. A copy of an email was provided to the surveyor which was sent from Environmental Services Director

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, interview and review of the facility policy titled Restorative Nursing Guidelines the facility failed to ensure Resident #17 received the appropriate treatment and services to increase range of motion and/or to prevent further decrease in range of motion. Actual Harm occurred when Resident #17, who was cognitively impaired and required extensive assistance/dependence on staff for activities of daily living was identified to have a decline in range of motion of her neck and left wrist with new onset contractures resulting in the resident's neck being bent to the left side with her head touching her shoulder and her left hand being in a bent downward position from her wrist. There was no evidence of a comprehensive and individualized range of motion program being implemented following therapy recommendations in June 2021 to prevent the declines and new onset contractures from occurring. This affected one resident (#17) of one resident reviewed for range of motion.
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #17 revealed an admission date of 04/15/21. The resident was admitted from the hospital after treatment for a cerebral vascular accident. Review of an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/22/21 revealed the resident had short and long term memory impairment, required extensive assistance from two staff with transfers, locomotion, dressing and hygiene. The resident required extensive assistance from one staff for eating. The MDS assessment revealed Resident #17 had impairment in range of motion of the upper and lower extremities on one side. Record review revealed the resident was provided physical therapy from 04/16/21 until 06/24/21. The physical therapy evaluation revealed the resident was exhibiting a new onset of decrease in functional mobility. Notes indicated the resident previously lived in an apartment independently. The notes indicated the resident's left lower extremity range of motion was impaired but without contractures. The physical therapy discharge summary on 06/24/21 revealed the resident required substantial/maximal assistance with transfers from chair to bed, was dependent for toilet transfer and no longer allowed attempts at walking. The discharge summary indicated follow up care was to include a restorative range of motion program. However, there was no evidence a restorative range of motion program was implemented. Record review revealed the resident was provided with occupational therapy from 04/16/21 until 06/24/21. The goal was for the resident to increase ability to engage in self care. The notes indicated the resident's right upper extremity range of motion was within normal limits. The left upper extremity range of motion was impaired but no muscle contraction was detected. Review of the occupational therapy Discharge summary, dated [DATE] revealed Resident #17 was demonstrating left neck flexion and at time of discharge had increased tightness of left upper extremity noted but the resident was unwilling to let the therapist position left upper extremity in any way. Recommendations included 24 hour care and assistance with all activities of daily living including self feeding. Chair with head/neck support recommended when out of bed to facilitate most appropriate positioning. There was no evidence any other treatment was recommended for the neck flexion or tightness in left upper extremity

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Review of Resident #17's plan of care revealed the resident had an activity of daily living deficit as evidenced by muscle atrophy and weakness multiple sites related to recent cerebral vascular accident. The care plan was initiated 04/16/21. The goal was to improve activity of daily living self performance. The only intervention included was physical therapy (which was discontinued 06/24/21). There was no evidence of any interventions in place after therapy was discontinued to improve or maintain the resident's range of motion.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 07/23/21 revealed the resident was totally dependent upon two staff for transfers, required extensive assistance from staff with dressing, eating, and hygiene, and now had impairments in range of motion on both sides including the upper and lower extremities. Record review revealed no evidence any treatment related to range of motion was provided between 06/24/21 and 10/05/21 for the resident. On 10/05/21 an occupational therapy evaluation was completed. The evaluation revealed the reason for the referral was due to worsening of range of motion. The resident's left wrist was noted to be at a 100 degree position relative to left radius and ulna, with increased tightness so much so that changes in range of motion during flexion/extension were not measurable. The evaluation indicated the resident had functional limitations due to contractures. The evaluation also revealed decreased range of motion of the left upper extremity and neck limited participation in self care without pain as well as increased risk for skin breakdown. Occupational therapy was initiated to address contracture impairment. The notes indicated Resident #17 demonstrated poor supine positioning with her head laterally flexed and rotated to left. Left upper extremity at risk for worsening contracture. Therapy to trial orthotic devices to manage decreased range of motion and increased tightness. Resident to participate in manual therapy to manage decreased range of motion. On 10/18/21 at 12:06 P.M. Resident #17 was observed in bed with her head bent to the left (touching her shoulder). The resident's left hand was contracted downward at the wrist. Staff were observed feeding the resident her lunch with her head bent completely to the left side. On 10/18/21 at 2:41 P.M. Resident #17 was observed in bed with her head bent to the left (touching her shoulder) and her left hand contracted downward at the wrist. On 10/19/21 at 7:48 A.M. Resident #17 was observed in bed with her head bent to the left (touching her shoulder) and her left hand contracted downward at the wrist. Staff were observed feeding the resident her breakfast with her head bent completely to the left side. On 10/19/21 at 9:50 A.M. interview with Resident #17's brother revealed when the resident was in the hospital her head was not leaning to the left and now it was. The brother indicated he felt this had been a decline for the resident since her admission to the facility. The resident's brother revealed about a week ago staff had talked to him about the resident wearing a collar on her neck but he was not aware if this had been implemented. On 10/19/21 at 1:34 P.M. and 4:41 P.M. Resident #17 was observed in bed with her head bent to the left (touching her shoulder) and her left hand contracted downward at the wrist.

OT #415 revealed the resident's left wrist was starting to contract during that time but that the resident would not allow him to work with her left arm. OT #415 also indicated the resident had some neck flexion starting at that time and she would allow him to provide range of motion for her neck but the neck had since worsened. OT #415 revealed he was not sure what had been done to prevent the resident's neck from further contracting after she was discontinued from therapy services on 06/24/21. OT #415 verified his discharge recommendations on 06/24/21 did not include any type of passive range of motion for her neck or left upper extremity. OT #415 verified both the resident's left wrist and neck had declined in range of motion. He stated since therapy restarted 10/05/21, she sometimes allowed him to provide range of motion and sometimes not. On 10/11/21 the resident allowed nine minutes of stretching of her neck. He stated her neck was at approximately 60 degrees laterally flexed and with range of motion he could get it to midline. The resident's left wrist was at approximately 90 degrees flexion and he could get it to about 30 degrees with range of motion now. OT #415 revealed he planned to attempt splinting for the resident's neck and wrist.
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/20/21 at 8:40 A.M. observations of an occupational therapy session revealed Resident #17 was up in a chair with lateral neck support. The resident did allow intermittent stretching of her neck to almost midline. On 10/20/21 at 11:08 A.M. interview with MDS Coordinator #145 revealed when Resident #17 was first admitted she had limitations described as left sided weakness on one side. Then when she completed the quarterly MDS in July 2021, she noticed issues on the right side. MDS Coordinator #145 revealed she did not know what the issue was that prompted her to mark both sides as having limitations in range of motion as she made no notes. During the interview, MDS Coordinator #145 also confirmed there was no plan of care in place related to range of motion. She stated when range of motion was recommended by therapy, if it was done, it was documented by nursing assistant staff. MDS Coordinator #145 confirmed there was no evidence of any range of motion program being in place or provided for Resident #17 between 06/24/21 and 10/05/21. On 10/20/21 at 2:00 P.M. interview with Interim Director of Nursing #325 and Director of Rehab #125 confirmed there was no treatment provided for Resident #17 after her therapy was discontinued on 06/24/21. Review of the facility policy titled Restorative Nursing Guideline, dated 08/2019 revealed restorative nursing care included nursing interventions that help to maintain the patient's highest level of function and prevent unnecessary decline in function. Restorative nursing programs were individualized to specific patient needs and have many tangible positive effects including preventing further decline and reducing risk of complications related to immobility. Restorative nursing does not require a physician's order. Patients may enter a restorative nursing program in several ways including after discharge from a skilled physical, occupational, or speech rehabilitation program. Techniques include passive range of motion and active range of motion. Interventions were provided by nursing staff who have completed the appropriate competency evaluation.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure pharmacy services met the needs of Resident #4 when insulin was not available in the emergency supply stock. This affected one resident (#4) of seven residents observed for medication administration.
Findings include: Record review revealed Resident #4 had a physician's order for Novolin N insulin 16 units daily (scheduled at 8:00 A.M.) for a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. On 10/20/21 at 8:30 A.M. Registered Nurse (RN) #510 was observed administering medications for Resident #4. During the observation, RN #510 revealed the Novolin N insulin was not available for Resident #4. Staff then called the physician and got a physician's order to substitute Humulin N insulin, as the Novolin N insulin was not available in the facility stock medications. However, when RN #510 went to the stock medication, Humulin N insulin was not available either. Therefore, Resident #4 was unable to receive her scheduled insulin at that time. RN #510 indicated the pharmacy was notified and the insulin would be sent at a later time. Review of the facility list of emergency stock medications to be available revealed it included Novolin N and Humulin N insulin. Interview with Interim Director of Nursing #325 on 10/21/21 at 11:01 A.M. revealed she did not know why the insulin was not available in the emergency stock as it should have been. At 11:45 A.M. she revealed the facility did not have a policy on emergency stock medications, just a list of medications to be available.

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** 2. Review of Resident #46's medical record revealed an original admission date of 09/25/15 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, chronic pain, nonthrombocytopenia purpura, anxiety, atherosclerotic heart disease, cardiac pacemaker, bradycardia, diabetes mellitus type II, anorexia, dementia with behavioral disturbance, debility, dysphagia, cognitive communication deficit, depression, peripheral vascular disease, hyperlipidemia, COVID-19, muscle wasting and atrophy, hypertension and atrial flutter. Review of the resident's quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 08/31/21 revealed the resident had a BIMS score of 3, indicating severe cognitive impairments. Review of physician's orders revealed an order (dated 09/01/21) for Risperidone 1 mg by mouth daily at bedtime for dementia related to agitation/irritability. The resident also had an order (dated 09/02/21) for Risperidone 0.75 mg by mouth daily in the morning On 10/20/21 at 11:02 A.M. interview with the Director of Nursing verified the resident was currently receiving two doses of an antipsychotic medication, Risperidone for a diagnosis of dementia with behavioral disturbance. The Director of Nursing verified these were not appropriate medications for the resident's diagnoses. No additional information was provided during the survey to justify the use of the medication for Resident #46.
Based on record review and interview the facility failed to adequately monitor and assess Resident #44 for adverse consequences following the initiation of the psychoactive medication, Ambien. The facility also failed to provide an appropriate diagnosis for the use of the antipsychotic medication, Risperidone for Resident #46. Actual harm occurred on 07/23/21 when Resident #44 sustained a fall resulting in a fractured arm (humerus) related to possible side effects of the new Ambien medication being prescribed for the resident without proper monitoring and notification of the physician of the presence of adverse side effects prior to the resident's fall/fracture. This affected one resident (#44) of three residents reviewed for falls and one resident (#46) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medication use.
Findings include: 1. Record review revealed Resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, history of falls, anxiety, depression and cognitive communication deficit. Review of the care plan, revised 11/11/20 revealed the resident was at risk for falls. Interventions included to have bed in lowest position, non-skid socks or shoes on, leave bathroom light on and leave bathroom door ajar. Review of the physicians' orders for July 2021 revealed on 07/01/21 a new order was obtained for Ambien 10 milligrams (mg), one tablet every night for insomnia.

Review of the nursing progress note, dated 07/02/21 at 3:41 A.M. revealed the resident was documented to have had an adverse reaction to Ambien as she had been excitable and yelling all night and had been attempting to wander into other resident's rooms. There was no evidence the physician was notified of the adverse reaction at that time.
Residents Affected - Few Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for 07/2021 revealed Resident #44 was documented to have received one Ambien 10 mg tablet every night from 07/02/21 through 07/23/21. There was no evidence the resident was assessed/monitored for side effects/additional adverse consequences of the medication during this time period. Review of a nursing progress note, dated 07/23/21 at 2:30 A.M. revealed Resident #44 was heard yelling out and was found lying on the floor of her room complaining of pain to her left arm. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) was notified of the fall and gave orders for the resident to be sent to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a fractured humerus. The resident was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 08/27/21 revealed Resident #44 was assessed to have mildly impaired cognition evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment score of 11. This resident was assessed to require extensive assistance from one staff member for bed mobility and toileting and limited assistance from one staff member for transfers. This resident was assessed to have suffered one fall without major injury since the prior assessment. Review of the facility list of resident falls from 10/01/20 through 10/18/21, provided by Registered Nurse (RN) #325, revealed Resident #44 was identified to have one fall during this time period, the fall on 07/23/21. On 10/20/21 at 10:30 A.M. interview with Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) #325 revealed she was not aware of any adverse side effects of the medication prior to the resident's fall/fracture on 07/23/21. IDON #325 verified the lack of evidence of monitoring of the medication between 07/02/21 and 07/23/21. IDON #325 started at the facility the beginning of July 2021. On 10/20/21 at 1:20 P.M. interview with Medical Director (MD) #675 verified he had ordered Ambien for Resident #44 but could not recall being notified of any adverse side effects of the medication by facility staff. MD #675 revealed if he had been notified of adverse side effects of the Ambien therapy, he would have placed the medication on hold until he could have reassessed Resident #44. Medication guidelines reveal Ambien is designed for short term use only and commonly prescribed for anxiety related insomnia and other sleeping difficulties. The medication may cause some people, especially older persons, to become drowsy, lightheaded, dizzy, unsteady, or less alert than they are normally, which may lead to falls as seniors are more likely to be more sensitive to the drugs' effects than younger adults. The medication can cause confusion and memory problems that more than double the risk for falls and fractures in the elderly. The recommended dose of Ambien in these patients is 5 milligrams once daily before bedtime.

f. Observations of the lunch meal on the 200 hall on 10/18/21 revealed the unheated cart containing the resident lunch trays arrived on the hall at 11:43 A.M. The lunch meal consisted of fish, noodles, spinach, bread, and a lemon bar. On 10/18/21 at 12:14 P.M. Resident #48, who had not received her tray yet, was asking if lunch had been served. Her lunch tray remained on the cart in the hall. On 10/18/21 at 12:15 P.M. (32 minutes after they were delivered) there were still three trays remaining on the lunch cart in the hall (Resident #32, #48, and #67). State Tested Nursing Assistant #555 revealed at that time, that those three residents needed assistance with eating and there were only two nursing assistants on the hall at that time and they were both assisting other residents to eat. Resident #48 was served her lunch at 12:23 P.M. (40 minutes after the trays were delivered to the hall). The surveyor was unable to ask Resident #48 about the temperature of the food when it was served as Resident #48 refused to even taste the food and requested a sandwich instead. Resident #67 was served her lunch at 12:30 P.M. (47 minutes after the trays were delivered to the hall). On 10/18/21 at 12:30 P.M. temperatures were taken of the tray remaining on the cart belonging to Resident #32. (It was determined at that time that Resident #32 was out for an appointment). The food temperatures were taken by Registered Dietician (RD) #565 at 12:30 P.M. on 10/18/21. The fish was 110 degrees, the noodles were 103 degrees, and the spinach was 114 degrees. The fish, noodles, and spinach were tasted by RD #565, who stated the food was not hot enough and should be at least 120 degrees when served. She stated the food should be served within 20-30 minutes of arriving on the hall. The surveyor also tasted the fish, noodles, and spinach. The food was cool to taste. Review of the facility policy titled Food Temperatures at Point of Service, dated 11/2020 revealed trays were to be delivered promptly after arriving in patient care areas. The policy further revealed the regulation that addressed food temperatures at point of service to the patient was Ftag 804. Proper temperature means both appetizing to the resident and minimizing the risk for scalding and burns.

floor beside Resident #70's bed. STNA #67 then removed the soiled Depend from the floor and discarded it properly. The STNA did not state how or why the incontinence brief was directly on the floor. 3. Record review revealed Resident #75 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including enterolcolitis due to clostridium difficile, hypertension, obstructive and reflux uropathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type two diabetes mellitus, and muscle wasting and atrophy. Review of the admission MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 09/14/21 revealed Resident #75 had intact cognition evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment score of 14. This resident was assessed to require extensive assistance from two staff members for toileting, bed mobility and transfers. Review of the care plan, dated 09/30/21 revealed Resident #75 had an infection of the gastrointestinal tract. Interventions included contact isolation, maintain precautions as indicated and record temperature as clinically indicated. Review of the physician's orders, dated 09/30/21 revealed an order for contact isolation related to clostridium difficile (C-Diff). On 10/18/21 at 12:05 P.M. Human Resource Director (HRD) #640 was observed to remove the lunch tray for Resident #75 from the meal cart, walked into the room of Resident #75 wearing only a surgical mask and face shield, delivered and set up the meal tray for Resident #75, then returned to her office. Interview with HRD #640 on 10/18/21 at 12:38 P.M. verified she had entered the room of Resident #75 and set up his lunch meal tray only wearing a surgical mask and face shield. HRD #640 revealed she performed hand hygiene with alcohol based hand santizer located by the resident's door on her way out of the room. Review of information from the mayoclinic (www.mayoclinic.org) related to C-Diff dated 08/27/21 revealed health care workers should practice good hand hygiene before and after treating each person in their care. In the event of a C. Diff outbreak, using soap and warm water was a better choice for hand hygiene, because alcohol-based hand sanitizers did not effectively destroy C. Diff spores. The information also indicated health care workers and visitors should wear disposable gloves and isolation gowns while in the room.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, interview and facility policy and procedure review the facility failed to ensure laboratory testing was obtained for Resident #61 as ordered by the physician to ensure proper and justified use of antibiotic treatment for a urinary tract infection. This affected one resident (#61) of six residents reviewed for laboratory testing and unnecessary medication use.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of Resident #61's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/10/21 with the admitting diagnoses of displaced spiral fracture of shaft of right femur, COVID-19, symbolic dysfunction, difficulty in walking, hypertension, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, hypothyroidism, major depressive disorder, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder and muscle weakness. Review of the resident's comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 09/17/21 revealed the resident had clear speech, usually understood others, made herself understood and had a moderate cognitive deficit as indicated by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of seven. The assessment indicated the resident had no natural teeth or fragments. The resident received oxygen therapy. Review of the progress note, dated 9/18/2021 at 8:22 P.M. revealed new orders were received to obtain a urine specimen on 09/19/20, get a urinalysis and a culture and sensitivity (UA/C&S) on 09/20/21 and start Cipro (a medication used to treat infection) 500 milligrams (mg) twice daily for three days. Review of the resident's September 2021 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the resident received a dose of Cipro 500 mg by mouth on 09/18/21 and twice daily on 09/19/21, 09/20/21 and 09/21/21. Review of the resident's medical record failed to provide UA/C&S results for the resident. On 10/20/21 at 1:27 P.M. interview with Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) #325 verified the UA/C&S was not completed and resulted in the antibiotic being administered to the resident without proper/adequate justification. Review of the facility policy titled Antibiotic Stewardship, dated 09/2017 revealed the antibiotic stewardship program would assist centers to manage and ensure the appropriate use of antibiotics while minimizing resistance to unnecessary antibiotic therapy.
