**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview the facility failed to provide the restorative program for Resident
#30's left hand splint. This affected one out of one resident reviewed for the restorative splint program.
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #30 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia,
hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction (stroke), cognitive communication deficit, dysphagia, urethral
stricture, anemia and inguinal hernia. Review of physician orders revealed an order dated 08/14/19 for a
restorative program. The restorative program indicated to apply a left hand splint in the morning, remove in

program related to risk for contractures. The restorative program indicated a left hand splint be donned in
the morning, off at night and remove the hand splint for hygiene care once a shift.
On 02/10/20 at 4:18 P.M. an observation and interview with Resident #30 indicated the staff rarely assisted
him to don his left hand splint. Resident #30 usually asked the staff to assist him with the application of his
splint. Resident #30 indicated the splint had not been applied for several days and he had not asked
anyone to assist him today. Resident #30 was not wearing his splint at the time of the interview.

information system used by nursing staff as a way to communicate important information on their residents.
It is a quick summary of individual resident needs that is updated at every shift change.) in the electronic
system the STNAs used to document their care of the residents. STNA #55 verified the splint was not
applied to Resident #30's left hand at the time of the interview.
An interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 02/11/20 at 4:55 P.M. verified the above findings.

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure fall interventions were communicated
to staff and failed to ensure falls were thoroughly investigated to determine the root cause. This affected
one resident (Resident #41) of six residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 71.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #41's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/12/19 and diagnoses
including osteoporosis, heart disease, anemia, dysphagia, moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, dementia
with behavioral disturbance, restlessness and agitation and major depressive disorder. Review of a
minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #41 was cognitively impaired with a
brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of three, required the extensive assistance of one staff for
toileting, extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility and extensive assistance of one staff for
transfers. Resident #41 sustained two or more falls since the previous MDS assessment. Resident #41 was
not steady and could only stabilize with staff assistance.
a. Review of a care plan for Resident #41 related to falls initiated 05/13/19 and revised 01/31/20 revealed

revealed safety measures in place including encourage to wait for staff assistance and use four
wheel-walker; before exiting room, ask if she would like lights on or off; bed in lowest position while
occupied, bilateral bed canes; ensure call light is within reach and encourage resident to use it for
assistance as needed; provide prompt response to all requests for assistance; ensure resident is wearing
appropriate footwear when ambulating or mobilizing in wheelchair; perimeter mattress; provide a safe
environment with even floors free from spills and clutter, adequate glare-free light, personal items within
reach and a working and reachable call light.
An interview on 02/11/20 at 10:12 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #1 revealed Resident
#41 liked to sit across from the nurses' station and listen to the radio. STNA #1 stated staff could not leave
Resident #41 alone or she would try to get up.
An interview on 02/11/20 at 10:26 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #3 revealed staff kept Resident
#41 out in the common area so they could keep an eye on her as she was a fall risk. LPN #3 showed the
surveyor Resident #41's current [NAME] which showed a fall intervention as perimeter mattress. The
intervention regarding keeping Resident #41 up in common areas while awake was not observed on the

An interview on 02/11/20 at 11:56 A.M. with LPN #31 revealed staff kept Resident #41 out in the common
area for closer observation. LPN #31 stated for most of Resident #41's stay, she was not allowed to be in
her room alone due to fall risk.
An interview on 02/11/20 at 2:20 P.M. with LPN #36 revealed Resident #41 could be alone in her room only
if she was in bed due to fall risk. LPN #36 was not sure if this was an intervention in place due to Resident
#41's falls.
An interview on 02/12/20 at 12:42 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the fall intervention to
keep Resident #41 up in the common area while awake was on the care plan since 07/19/19 but was not
on the [NAME] for other staff to see. The DON verified this intervention was still in place and should have
been on Resident #41's [NAME].
b. Review of data for Resident #41's falls on 07/18/19, 10/25/19, 12/06/19 and 01/03/20 revealed a fall risk
observation tool assessment was completed after the resident fell and assessed information including the
resident's mental status, mobility, gait, ability to transfer, balance, medications, continence, blood pressure,
fall history, external applications, vision, hearing, predisposing conditions and potential fall interventions for
the resident.
A fall occurrence report dated 01/21/20 at 1:12 P.M. revealed STNA #21 went into the bathroom and found
Resident #41 on the floor. The fall was reported by STNA #21 on 01/21/20 at 1:12 P.M. A statement by LPN
#3 dated 01/21/20 at 12:15 P.M. revealed Resident #41 was put in the bathroom to have a bowel
movement, was told to not get up and pull the string and Resident #41 got up without assistance and fell on
her buttocks. The call light was not used. The report did not discern how long Resident #41 was alone in the
bathroom for or what time she was placed in the bathroom.
Review of Resident #41's medical record revealed no additional fall assessments for the fall dated
01/21/20.
Review of Resident #41's nurses notes revealed a late entry note written 01/24/20 at 10:49 A.M. effective
for 01/21/20 at 1:12 P.M. The nurse was called to Resident #41's room and observed Resident #41 sitting
on the floor in front of the toilet in the bathroom. Resident #41 stated she was done, lost her balance and
fell. Vitals were obtained, appropriate notifications were made and a new intervention was put into place of
a sign on the wall in the bathroom to use the call light for assistance.
An interview was conducted on 02/12/20 at 12:42 P.M. with the DON. When asked about Resident #41's fall
on 01/21/20, the DON stated she expected staff to stay with residents for toileting unless the resident asked
staff to step out of the bathroom. The DON verified the fall occurrence report did not include information
regarding what time Resident #41 was placed in the bathroom, if the resident had asked staff to step out of
the bathroom and how long Resident #41 was in the bathroom before she fell.
An interview was conducted on 02/12/20 at 12:57 P.M. with STNA #21. STNA #21 stated LPN #3 had taken
Resident #41 to the bathroom at some point, told her to pull her call light when she was done and to not get
up. STNA #21 stated she was in room [ROOM NUMBER] providing care and had come out of the room
when Resident #41's roommate told her the resident was on the floor. STNA #21 stated she never left
Resident #41 in the bathroom unattended and the resident had never asked staff to step out during toileting
in the past.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview the facility failed to ensure a toileting program was initiated for Resident #45.
This affected one out of two resident reviewed for bladder incontinence.
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #45 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's
dementia, dementia with behavioral disturbance, wandering, heart arrhythmia and cognitive communication
deficit. A review of Resident #45's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident
#45 needed extensive assistance of one staff member for her toileting needs. A review of Resident #45's
urinary incontinence assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #45 was a candidate for a toileting
program. A review of Resident #45's plan of care initiated on 01/29/19 indicated Resident #45 had bladder
incontinence and required staff assistance with all toileting needs. Interventions on the plan of care
included to establish a voiding pattern, ensure an unobstructed path to the bathroom and monitor for signs
and symptoms of a urinary tract infection.
A review of the state tested nursing assistant (STNA) documentation dated 01/29/19 to 02/11/20 indicated
no toileting program was initiated. The documentation indicated Resident #45 was continent most of the
time with incontinent episodes daily. There was no documentation a bladder incontinence tracking log had
been completed to assess for patterns of incontinence.
An interview with STNA #27 indicated she had cared for Resident #45 frequently. STNA #27 indicated
Resident #45 was not on a scheduled toileting program. Resident #27 needed verbal cues and was
independent with toilet use. STNA #27 indicated when she happened to walk past Resident #45's room she
would ask her if she needed to use the toilet but not according to a particular schedule.
An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 02/11/20 at 4:55 P.M. verified the above findings.
