F 0744 Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to maintain a safe environment for residents residing on the secured memory care unit, when Resident #21 was able to retrieve a steak knife from behind the nursing station. This affected one resident (#21) of three residents reviewed for environment, and had the potential to affect all 23 residents (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, and #23) residing on the secured memory care unit. The facility census was 100. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of Resident #21's medical record revealed an initial admission date of 02/08/23. Diagnoses included dementia, tremor, age-related debility, hypertension, and altered mental status.

The resident exhibited verbal behaviors directed toward others and other behavioral symptoms not directed toward others between one and three days within the lookback period. The resident required supervision for a majority of the activities of daily living. Review of Resident #21's current plan of care, revised 03/17/23, revealed the resident was at risk for harm to self. Goals included remaining safe in a secure setting. Interventions included assisting with decision-making as needed, allowing time to perform tasks, and minimizing environmental stimulation. Review of Resident #21's current plan of care, revised 03/17/23, revealed there was a need to monitor behaviors, resident had potential for altered behavioral patterns, disruptive interactions, disruptive verbally, resistive to care, violence/anger, agitation and/or anxiety, agitation, altered thought process, dementia, wandered into other resident rooms, refused care, rummaged in other resident belongings, carried his belongings around, hid or slept in other resident beds, got combative, and agitated with staff providing care. Interventions included administering prescribed medications, praising positive behavior, and removing from public area when behavior was unacceptable. Review of Resident #21's nursing progress notes dated 05/10/23 and timed 6:10 P.M. revealed the resident's niece attempted to cut off the resident's wander management device. The niece was educated on the importance of the resident having the device on. The niece then handed the resident a long pointed end piece of metal so he could try to take it off himself. The object was removed from the resident's possession and was in a safe keeping place.
