Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on medical record review, review of a facility investigation and staff interview the facility failed to
provide the necessary services to prevent Resident #4 from ingesting liquid cleaning solution used for
perineal care. This affected one resident (#4) of six residents reviewed for accidents.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #4 revealed an admission date of 04/06/19 with diagnoses
including Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, anemia, depression, and cognitive communication deficit.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, with an assessment reference date of 02/03/21
revealed the resident had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) of 01 indicating severe cognitive
impairment. The assessment revealed the resident required extensive assistance from one staff for bed
mobility, toilet use and personal hygiene, extensive assistance from one staff for transfers and limited
assistance from one staff for locomotion on the unit via wheelchair. The assessment revealed the resident
had no behaviors.
Review of a nursing progress note, dated 02/02/21 at 10:52 P.M. revealed the nurse was notified Resident
#4 drank a bottle of PeriFresh (a liquid cleaning solution used for perineal care). The on-call supervisor was
notified and instructed the nurse to contact Poison Control. Poison Control was notified and they instructed
the nurse to monitor the resident for nausea and vomiting due to the PeriFresh containing aloe vera. The
Director of Nursing (DON), Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #53 and the resident's family were
notified.
Review of the facility investigation revealed on 02/02/21 the resident reported to staff that she drank
peri-wash solution at approximately 10:00 P.M., Nurse management, Poison Control, the resident's
daughter and the physician were notified. Poison Control instructed the nurse to monitor the resident for
nausea and vomiting due to the product containing aloe which may cause gastrointestinal (GI) upset. The
resident did not experience any GI distress after the ingestion. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) was reviewed
and indicated the product was an irritant if ingested, but not toxic. The State Tested Nurse Assistant (STNA)
who initially received the report from the resident, stated she had utilized the periwash during her first round
of resident care and placed it back in the resident's bathroom cabinet, it was not a full bottle. Upon returning
to the resident's room for routine care, the STNA noted the periwash bottle was empty on the sink.
Review of the resident's plan of care revealed no evidence the resident had a history of drinking non
ingestible fluids.

On 05/20/21 at 3:12 P.M. interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility was starting to
complete audits for all new admissions and readmissions to determine their risks for drinking non-ingestible
fluids and to make sure no periwash cleansers came from the hospital. She further revealed the facility
hadn't reordered any PeriFresh since last year because it was not used that often. The DON revealed
Resident #4 had no pica behaviors (a psychological disorder characterized by an appetite for substances
that are largely non-nutritive), she never ingested toxic chemicals prior to that incident and following the
incident staff pushed fluids for her.
Review of the SDS revealed the substance labeled PeriFresh was not hazardous, would be irritating if
ingested, if ingested drink large amounts of water and to contact the physician.
On 05/19/21 at 3:52 P.M. interview with Director of Clinical Services (DCS) #90 revealed after the incident,
they removed the periwash from the resident's room, notified the physician and poison control. The
periwash wasn't toxic, but they didn't want the resident to continue to drink it. On 05/19/21 the facility began
an audit to determine if other residents had periwash in their room and indicated they would meet
collectively as an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to identify which residents should and shouldn't have it in
their room. DCS #90 revealed the goal was to reduce the risk of this type of incident from occurring again,
so the DON was also implementing formal education, as well and in-person education to staff. When asked
about the immediate interventions for Resident #4 at the time of the incident (in February), DCS #90
revealed staff were utilizing the cleanser for her care, but were no longer leaving it in her room. However, no
staff education had been completed at the time of the incident.
On 05/20/21 at 12:30 P.M. interview with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #51 revealed Resident #4
would drink something/anything if it was put in front of her.
On 5/20/21 at 12:14 P.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #22 revealed she was not aware of
the incident with Resident #4 drinking periwash. LPN #22 further stated she knows not to leave any kind of
liquid/non-drinkable items in Resident #4's room because she had worked as an STNA for several years
prior to being a nurse, but she did not elaborate the specifics as to why this resident wasn't allowed liquids
in her room. LPN #22 revealed she stopped using periwash for resident care on 05/19/21.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of hospital records, review of a fall investigation, facility policy review and resident and
staff interview the facility failed to provide timely and effective pain management for Resident #35 following
a fall with injury.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred on 09/15/20 at 2:15 P.M. when Resident #35, who exhibited moderate cognitive
impairment and required extensive staff assistance for activities of daily living, sustained a fall with
verbalization of pain, guarding to the right hip and an inability to bear weight following the incident. The
facility failed to provide effective pain management/pain medication to the resident following the incident or
notify the physician of the pain level. The resident was assessed to have pain rated a seven out of 10 on a
scale from one to ten with ten being the worst pain and did not consume dinner on 09/15/20. The resident
was subsequently diagnosed with a displaced fracture to the right hip which required surgical intervention.
The resident was transported to the hospital on [DATE] at 9:15 P.M. (seven hours after the fall occurred).
Hospital records revealed the resident's pulse was elevated at 101 beats per minute on 09/15/20 at 11:09
P.M. and upon physical examination, the resident was noted to be uncomfortable with a complaint of right
hip pain with any attempted motion. The resident was medicated with narcotic pain medication in the
hospital.
This affected one resident (#35) of one resident reviewed for pain management.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #35's medical record revealed an original admission date on 04/13/20 and readmission
on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute cystitis (urinary tract infection) without hematuria (blood in urine),
cognitive communication deficit, lack of coordination, chronic kidney disease, spondylosis (a general term
for age-related wear and tear of the spinal disks) in the lumbar region, prostate cancer, chronic atrial
fibrillation, low back pain, bilateral osteoarthritis of hip, weakness, abnormalities of gait and mobility,
presence of neurostimulator, essential tremor, ataxia (a lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary
movements such as walking), and a history of falling.
Review of Resident #35's care plan, dated 07/24/20 and revised on 08/02/20 revealed the resident was at
risk for pain. The plan revealed staff should administer medication as ordered and per the resident's
preference and request. The resident should be assisted with repositioning as needed. Alternative pain
relief measures should be attempted to include a back rub, relaxation, repositioning, exercise, or music
prior to administering any PRN (as needed) medications. The physician should be consulted as needed
related to the resident's pain. The resident should be observed for any signs or symptoms of pain, including
any nonverbal signs of pain such as facial grimacing, restlessness, or grabbing an effected area. Therapy
services as ordered by the physician.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 07/24/20 revealed Resident #35
had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11 which reflected mild cognitive impairment. The
assessment revealed the resident required extensive assistance from two staff to complete tasks including
bed mobility and toileting and was totally dependent on two staff to complete transfers. The resident was
not assessed for walking in his room due to the activity not occurring however, the resident was assessed
to be unsteady and required staff assistance to stabilize when he moved on and off the toilet or completed
a surface-to-surface transfer, for example transferred from his bed to a chair or wheelchair.

Review of physician's orders for Resident #35, for September 2020 revealed an order, initiated on 09/15/20
at 8:00 A.M. for Norco (a narcotic pain medication) 5-325 milligrams (mg) with instructions to administer the
medication orally once daily for three days and then discontinue. The resident also had an order for
Acetaminophen 650 mg with instructions to administer the medication orally three times daily for pain.
Lastly, the resident had an order for Acetaminophen 650 mg with instructions to administer the medication
orally every eight hours as needed for pain. The resident had an additional order to be monitored for any
signs or symptoms of verbal or nonverbal pain every shift.
Review of Resident #35's Medication Administration Record (MAR) from 09/01/20 to 09/30/20 revealed the
resident received a dose of Norco 5-325 mg on 09/15/20 upon rising in the morning. The resident also
received three doses of Acetaminophen 650 mg as routinely ordered on 09/15/20. There was no additional
pain medication administered to the resident on 09/15/20. There was no documentation confirming whether
the medication was effective in controlling the resident's pain. The resident was monitored for signs and
symptoms of verbal and nonverbal pain in the morning on 09/15/20 and reported a pain level of five out of
ten with ten being the worst pain. The resident was noted to be hospitalized during the night shift
observation.
Review of Resident #35's nursing progress notes revealed on 09/15/20 at 2:15 P.M. the resident had a fall
while attempting to ambulate to the restroom without assistance. The resident was assessed by Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #22. The resident was noted to be guarding the area and stated he was having pain
in his right hip area. The resident was not able to bear a lot of weight to his right leg. Neurological checks
were initiated. Additionally, red areas were noted to the resident's left temple and right side of his head at
his hairline. The resident's sister, the Director of Nursing (DON), and physician were notified of the fall and a
new order was received for a STAT (immediate) x-ray of the resident's right hip/femur (thigh bone) area.
There was no additional documentation in the nurse's notes regarding resident's pain level or status.
Review of a written statement from LPN #22 dated 09/15/20, no time provided revealed the nurse
responded to Resident #35's room at approximately 2:15 P.M. Upon entering, the resident was found sitting
on the floor. The resident stated he was going to the bathroom. The note revealed the resident complained
of right hip pain but after he was repositioned in his recliner, facial grimacing and guarding subsided and
the resident stated the pain lessened. The resident received routine Norco medication (earlier that morning
as scheduled) and routine Tylenol on this date. There was no additional documentation showing the
resident was repositioned (or any other non-pharmaceutical interventions were utilized) more than one time
when the fall occurred.
Review of Resident #35's vital signs on 09/15/20 at 3:03 P.M. revealed the resident was assessed by staff
using the Wong-Baker faces pain scale (a nonverbal pain scale). The scale ranges from zero to two with
two being the highest indication of pain. The resident was assessed at a one for negative vocalization
(occasional moan or groan or low level of speech with a negative quality), a two for facial expression (facial
grimacing), a two for body language (rigid, fists clenched, knees pulled up, pulling or pushing away, striking
out), and a two for consolability (unable to console, distract or reassure). These scores added together
determined a pain level of seven out of ten with ten being the worst pain. There was no additional pain
level/assessment documented on 09/15/20 after 3:03 P.M. There was no evidence the physician was
contacted to discuss the resident's pain level.
Review of Resident #35's meal intakes on 09/15/20 revealed the resident ate 75% to 100% at breakfast
and lunch (documented at 1:38 P.M. and 1:39 P.M.). The resident's intake decreased to zero to 25% at
dinner (documented at 6:37 P.M.).

Review of Resident #35's neurological checks on 09/15/20 from 2:20 P.M. to 8:05 P.M. revealed staff
completed checks every 15 minutes for one hour, every 30 minutes for two hours, and every hour for three
hours. The resident's blood pressure was 136/72 and his pulse was 86 at 2:20 P.M. At 4:05 P.M., the
resident's blood pressure had increased to 144/72. At 5:05 P.M., the resident's blood pressure had
increased to 146/66 and his pulse was 88. The resident's pain level was not assessed during any of the
neurological checks.
Review of Resident #35's fall scene investigation report, completed by LPN #8 and reviewed by the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Social Services (SS) #77, Registered Nurse (RN) #6, the
Administrator, and the Director of Nursing, dated 09/15/20 at 2:40 P.M., revealed on 09/15/20 at 2:15 P.M.,
the resident had an unwitnessed fall while ambulating alone to the bathroom in his room. The resident lost
his balance, slipped, and appeared to become weak. The resident was alert and oriented. The investigation
did not include any information related to addressing the resident's pain. The resident was not immediately
taken to the hospital. The resident was educated on using his call light and waiting for staff to assist him.
The Falls Team Meeting Notes at the end of the report stated a STAT (immediate) right lower extremity/hip
x-ray was obtained and positive for a proximal femoral neck fracture. The resident was sent to the
emergency room, admitted to the hospital, and was pending surgery.
Record review revealed no Pain Assessment 3.0 was completed in the electronic charting system at the
time of the incident.
On 09/15/20 at 8:00 P.M. (nearly six hours after the resident's fall), the mobile x-ray provided arrived at the
facility to complete the ordered hip and femur x-rays.
Review of Resident #35's x-ray report, electronically signed on 09/15/20 at 8:32 P.M., revealed the findings
included an oblique displaced fracture through the neck of the proximal right femur. There was limb
retraction or cranial migration by approximately one centimeter (cm).
On 09/15/20 at 8:50 P.M. (nearly seven hours after the resident's fall), a report was received from the
mobile x-ray provider that confirmed the resident had a proximal right femur fracture and an order was
received to send the resident to the emergency room. The Director of Nursing (DON), physician, and the
resident's Power of Attorney (POA) were notified.
On 09/15/20 at 9:15 P.M. Resident #35 was transferred to the hospital and remained hospitalized until
09/19/20. The resident returned to the facility on [DATE] at 1:50 P.M. with a 26 centimeter (cm) incision on
his right hip with 17 staples. Review of the hospital information revealed the resident was administered
Hydromorphone (used to treat moderate to severe pain) .5 mg per .5 milliliters (mL) intravenously one time.
The resident had additional orders for Norco 5-325 mg every six hours as needed for pain, Acetaminophen
650 mg every four hours as needed for pain, and Morphine 2 mg intravenously every three hours as
needed for pain during his hospital stay.
Review of Resident #35's hospital records, dated 09/15/20 at 11:37 P.M., revealed the resident was seen in
the emergency room for an evaluation of a right hip fracture. The x-ray showed an acute displaced fracture
of the right femoral neck fracture with proximal displacement. The fracture was discussed with an
orthopedic surgeon. The resident was admitted to the hospital with a plan for surgical intervention. The
resident's pulse was elevated to 101 on 09/15/20 at 11:09 P.M. and upon physical examination, the resident
was noted to be uncomfortable with a complaint of right hip pain with any attempted motion. The resident

from the hospital on [DATE] at 10:38 A.M.
Residents Affected - Few
On 05/17/21 at 5:29 P.M. and 05/20/21 at 1:04 P.M. interviews with Resident #35 revealed the resident had
a fall at the facility and he broke his leg. The resident stated he was scheduled to go home the day after the
fall occurred had tried to walk to the bathroom by himself and fell. The resident stated following the fall he
was in a lot of pain but thought the staff had given him a pain pill. He stated he continued to have a lot of
pain until the time he was sent to the hospital.
On 05/19/21 at 4:24 P.M. interview with LPN #22 revealed she responded to a call for a nurse to Resident
#35's room on 09/15/20. She had not been assigned to the resident that day. The nurse stated she
remembered the resident attempted to walk to the bathroom by himself and fell. The fall resulted in a hip
fracture. The nurse stated the fall was not witnessed and a state tested nursing assistant (STNA) had found
the resident on the floor and called for a nurse to assist. Since the fall was unwitnessed, the facility policy
was to start neurological checks. The nurse confirmed the resident did complain of right hip pain and was
not able to bear weight on his right leg. The nurse revealed the resident had received a scheduled Norco
medication that morning (before the fall) as well as Tylenol in the afternoon and evening time. The nurse
confirmed there was no documentation of whether the medication was effective or not with controlling the
resident's pain. The nurse confirmed she did reposition the resident at the time of the fall and it did help
reduce the resident's pain but she could not recall how often the resident had been repositioned (or if that
occurred at all) before he went to the hospital. The nurse confirmed the physician was notified of the fall and
the results of the resident's x-ray but had not been contacted to discuss the resident's pain.
On 05/20/21 at 10:43 A.M. and 05/20/21 at 12:26 P.M. interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) revealed she thought there was a four hour window for STAT orders to be completed and if it was
going to take the provider longer than four hours, they should inform the facility. Later, the ADON revealed
there was not a set turn around time for completing a STAT (immediate) x-ray in the contract with the mobile
x-ray provider. The ADON revealed the resident agreed to have the x-rays completed at the facility instead
of going to the hospital. However, the resident was not told that it could take several hours for the mobile
x-rays to be completed because the wait time varied depending on how many drivers the provider had. The
ADON confirmed the resident's pain level was assessed at a seven out of ten at 3:03 P.M. and there were
no additional pain assessments recorded or documentation about the resident's pain level from 3:03 P.M.
until the resident went to the hospital at 9:15 P.M. The ADON confirmed there was no documentation
showing whether the medication administered to the resident was effective for controlling the resident's
pain. The ADON confirmed there was not any documentation to determine the physician or Certified Nurse
Practitioner (CNP) had been contacted to discuss the resident's pain level after the initial notification about
the fall. The ADON confirmed a pain assessment was not included as part of the neurological checks that
were completed on the resident.
Review of the facility policy, titled Pain Management Program, revised on 06/12/17 revealed all residents
would be reviewed upon admission, quarterly and prn (as needed) for acute (described as passing in
nature), chronic, or no pain.

review revealed Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of fracture of the left
hip, morbid obesity and congestive heart failure.
Residents Affected - Few
The quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 02/04/21 revealed the resident had intact cognition and required
extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility and transfers and was dependent on staff for dressing the
lower body.
Review of the current physicians' orders revealed Resident #21 was receiving the antibiotic, Dificid for
clostridium difficle (C Diff) and had an order for contact isolation.
On 05/18/21 at 9:15 A.M. observation of Resident's #21's room revealed a sign on the door to see the
nurse before entering. There was a cart outside the door with personal protective equipment (PPE) that
contained masks, gowns, and gloves. STNA #19 was observed to apply/don a paper gown and gloves,
entered the resident's room and closed the door. Interview at the time of the observation revealed STNA
#19 indicated she was going to get Resident #21 dressed for physical therapy.
On 05/18/21 at 9:30 A.M. STNA #19 was observed coming out of Resident #21's room. The STNA was
observed to continue to wear the paper isolation gown and was carrying a meal tray. STNA #19 walked
around the corner of the hall with the meal tray and then came back to Resident #21's room and placed the
meal tray on the cart outside the room that contained PPE. STNA #19 then went back into Resident #21's
room and shut the door. Continued observation revealed the STNA #19 then exited the room, removed the
paper gown she had been wearing and placed it on the door to the resident's room. The STNA picked up
the meal tray and proceeded to walk down the hall carrying it.
On 05/18/21 at 9:45 A.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #37 verified Resident #21 was on
contact precautions for C Diff. LPN #37 revealed STNA #19 would need to wear a gown when in Resident
#21's room only if she was providing incontinence care. LPN #37 revealed the gown should be removed
prior to exiting the room and discarded. LPN #37 revealed she would dispose of the gown that was hanging
on the resident's door. LPN #37 revealed the facility followed the Centers for Disease Control and

Findings include:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #46 revealed an admission date of 3/07/19 with diagnoses
including Parkinson's disease, muscle weakness, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), abnormal posture,
and urine retention.
Review of the plan of care, dated 03/14/19 revealed the resident was incontinent of bladder related to
impaired mobility and diagnoses of BPH and urine retention with interventions to assist to the bathroom per
resident request and toileting program, encourage fluids, assist with incontinence care, administer
medications and obtain lab work as ordered.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, with an assessment reference date of 04/07/21
revealed the resident was cognitively intact with a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. The
assessment revealed the resident required extensive two staff assistance for bed mobility, transfers and
toilet use and extensive one staff assistance for personal hygiene. The assessment revealed the resident
was always incontinent or urine and frequently incontinent of bowel.
On 05/19/21 at 10:40 A.M. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #31 and STNA #27 were observed
providing incontinence care for Resident #46. During incontinence care, STNA #27 utilized six different
wash cloths/towels, two to clean (with soap and water) the resident's peri-area and his buttocks, two to
rinse his peri-area and buttocks, and two different towels to dry his peri area and buttocks. When she was
finished with the wash cloths and towels, she sat the contaminated articles directly on the resident's
bedside table without any type of barrier. After the care was completed, STNA #27 placed the resident's call
light on the bedside table where the wet contaminated articles had been sitting in anticipation that she was
completed with care and leaving the room.
On 05/19/21 at 10:53 A.M. interview with STNA #27 confirmed she did not sanitize the resident's bedside
table after placing the contaminated articles on it and also confirmed she sat the resident's call light on the
wet contaminated bedside table.
Review of the policy titled Perineal Care, dated 08/08/14 revealed the purpose of the policy was to prevent
infections and odors and promote comfort for all residents who are unable to do self care.
