**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During
screening on 5/21/24 at approximately 9:43am, R448 was observed in bed. R448's urinary drainage bag
was observed halfway filled with yellowish urine output. R448's door was open, and the uncovered drainage
bag was facing the doorway, exposing R448's urine. R448's drainage bag was not covered, attached to the
lower bed frame, and could easily be viewed from R448's doorway. Another surveyor confirmed the
observation.
Review of R448's health record revealed an admission date of 5/18/24.
Review of R448's baseline care plan dated 5/18/24 revealed a care plan was developed related to
indwelling urinary catheter. However, there was no evidence that a cover or privacy bag was addressed in
the baseline care plan.
Review of R448's Kardex (documentation system that gives a brief overview of individual resident care)
revealed Bladder/Bowel. Catheter: the resident has 16Fr [French] 5 cc [cubic centimeter] indwelling urinary
catheter. Position catheter bag and tubing below the level of the bladder and check for kinks at least q
[every] shift. Empty foley catheter every eight hours and record output. Five-day bladder diary. However,
there were no instructions on how to protect R448's dignity.
During an interview with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) STNA #421 on 5/22/24 at approximately
1:05PM, STNA #421 revealed she was familiar with R448. When asked about the care and resident needs,
STNA #421 stated they used the Kardex. When asked how she provided privacy for residents with catheter
and urinary drainage bag, STNA#421 stated, We close the door. We have a bath blanket or sheet to put
over them. We have a Foley [catheter] cover.
In an interview with the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #824 on 5/22/24 at approximately 1:12pm, when
asked how staff including STNAs knew what kind of care they need to provide to residents, LPN #824
stated, When they [staff] come from another floor, they get a report from the aides [outgoing STNA] and
they get a report from me. When asked how they would protect R448's privacy who had a catheter and was
using a drainage bag, LPN #824 stated, You won't let it sit on the floor. Dignity, that's the whole purpose of
that. When asked to check R448's Kardex if provision of a cover or privacy bag had been included, LPN
#824 stated, No. But they know. I don't know if that's a Kardex thing. When asked how STNA would know to
provide privacy bag for residents with catheters and urinary drainage bags, LPN #824 stated, They should
know that.
In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 5/22/24 at approximately 3:13pm, the DON confirmed
that R448's Kardex did not include the use of privacy bag. The surveyor informed the DON of

the above-mentioned observation. When asked if staff should provide a cover or privacy bag for the urinary
drainage bag, the DON stated, It depends if the resident requests for a privacy bag [for a resident who is
inside his/her room]. The DON added, Maybe we need re-education too [for the nursing assistant that
needed the re-education].
Review of the facility policy titled Maintenance of Urinary Catheters dated 10/14 revealed .When the
resident is out of their [sic] room, a foley bag cover must be in place . However, the policy did not instruct
how to protect the dignity of residents with urinary drainage bags while inside their rooms when visible by
residents and visitors from the hallway when the door is open.
Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to maintain dignity and respect at all
times for Resident #62 and R448 by ensuring urinary drainage bags were covered. This affected two
residents (#62 and R448) of two residents reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 188.
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #62 revealed an admission date of 12/19/23 with diagnoses
that included quadriplegia, dysphagia, and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #62 was alert and
oriented to person, place, time, and was dependent on staff for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
Review of the care plan dated 11/17/16 revealed Resident #62 was at risk for skin breakdown related to
quadriplegia with interventions that included providing incontinence care every 2 hours and as needed.
Review of the physician orders dated 02/18/24 revealed an order to provide incontinence care every two
hours and as needed every shift, change catheter drainage bag every 14 days and as needed every night
shift and colostomy care every shift and as needed.
Observation on 05/21/24 at 9:26 A.M. revealed Resident #62 foley bag was seen from the hallway outside
of his room. Observation revealed a yellow liquid substance (urine) was filled to the 700 cubic centimeter
line. No privacy bag was covering the foley bag. Observation revealed multiple staff and residents walking
and/or ambulating past his room.
Observation and Interview on 05/21/24 at 12:15 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #611 revealed
Resident #62 foley bag was seen from the hallway, uncovered, exposing the resident's urine. LPN #611
revealed foley bags were only covered when being transported outside of rooms. LPN #611 confirmed and
verified the above findings.
Interview on 05/22/24 at 8:24 A.M. with LPN #433 revealed Resident #62 had a stoma that was connected
to a urinary drainage bag and was to be changed every 2 hours or as needed. LPN #433 revealed all
urinary drainage bags were to be covered with a privacy bag.
Review of the facility document titled Toileting revised April 2023 revealed the facility and a policy in place
that if a resident required assistance, staff were to follow the plan of care. Review of the document revealed
the facility did not implement the policy.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive care plan, physician
orders, and interventions of monitoring and evaluation was in place for Resident #144's hand restraint. This
affected one resident (Resident #144) of two residents reviewed for restraint use. The total census was 188.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #144 revealed he admitted to the facility 10/04/23 and had diagnoses including
sepsis, dementia, and tracheostomy status.
Review of Resident #144's comprehensive care plan revealed the resident had a tracheostomy due to
respiratory failure with an intervention initiated on 10/17/23 for bilateral hand mitts at all times to prevent
decannulation. Remove and provide care every two hours and as needed. The care plan had not been
revised and did not include specific interventions as to how often to monitor and evaluate the use of the
restraint.
Review of Resident #144's restraint assessment dated [DATE] revealed he required PRN (as-needed) mitt
restraints to minimize risk for pulling out tracheostomy tubing due to agitated behavior and risk for serious
injury or death.
Review of Resident #44's Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed he was rarely or never
understood and did not use restraints.
Review of Resident #144's nurse practitioner note dated 05/21/24 revealed the resident had an
unwitnessed JP ('Jackson Pratt') drain dislodgement and was to receive a trial of mitt restraints for two
hours and to remove them if there was no restlessness or agitation.
Review of Resident #144's active and discontinued orders revealed no evidence the restraints were
ordered.
Record review of Resident #144's progress notes and assessments revealed no specific documentation of
when the restraints were applied and removed, no documentation of notification made to family of restraint
use, and no monitoring or evaluation of the resident while the restraint was in use.
Observation of Resident #144 on 05/21/24 at 10:05 A.M. revealed he was not interviewable. He wore a mitt
restraint (a restraint made to prevent the wearer from closing their fingers around an object) on his right
hand. The restraint was no longer present during a follow-up observation at 4:32 P.M.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse #937 on 05/21/24 at 4:39 P.M. revealed she recalled Resident #144
had a history of needing mitt restraints but he had not needed them recently until this morning. She did not
apply the restraint this morning, but did take them off the resident at roughly 12:00 P.M.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/22/24 at 2:25 P.M. confirmed Resident #144 did not receive any
documented orders, monitoring, or family notification for the restraint use on 05/21/24.

- No completed communication tool on 5/1, 5/6 and 5/8/24.
- 5/3/24: BP = 84/54. The section changes since last dialysis was left blank.
- 5/13/24: PR = 54
- 5/17/24: BP = 171/72
- Dialysis information (to be filled out by dialysis) was left blank on 5/10, 5/13, 5/15 and 5/17/24.
Review of R98's Dialysis Services Communication Form and Post Treatment Report revealed missing
communication forms for 5/3, 5/10 and 5/13/24, and had incomplete assessments on 5/1 and 5/8/24.
Review of R98's progress notes revealed no monitoring of R98's BP and heart rate after dialysis on 5/3,
5/13 and 5/17/24 and that physician or nurse practitioner was notified regarding his vital signs.
In a joint interview with the Dialysis Facility Administrator (FA) #300 and the Manager of Clinical Services
(MCS) #301 on 5/22/24 at approximately 9:57am, FA #300 stated that access site care is before initiation of
treatment. When asked about her expectation from nursing home staff after a resident received dialysis,
FA#300 stated, CVC [central venous catheter], do not touch. For fistula and graft, no blood draw. The
dressing on the site [fistula and graft] can be removed the next day if they had a late treatment. But
generally, [it can be removed] the same day. When asked about the vital signs monitoring, FA#300 stated,
Pre [dialysis treatment], every half hour and as needed. FA#300 stated that they monitor the weight pre and
post dialysis treatment. FA#300 added, That's how much fluid is removed from the patient. When asked
about the communication form, FA#300 stated, We complete the same form that were sent with the
residents. FA#300 stated, We have a dietician that communicates weekly, discuss lab [laboratory] works
weekly ad as needed, weight gain and nutritional needs. When asked if they review the communication
form the nursing home, the FA#300 stated, RNs and PCT [patient care technician] review it. They take into
consideration the last set of vitals [vital signs]. We do our own set of vitals. When asked about the
expectation from the nursing staff after dialysis related to the access sites, FA#300 stated, Verify that the
dressing is intact. [For fistula and graft] they have a dressing over the site. We don't want the same dressing
when the resident comes back [for dialysis]. FA#300 explained, The residents are bringing the
[communication] form and the resident take it back. It is not our responsibility that the nurses get it. I see
forms [from previous dialysis treatment] sitting in the residents' wheelchairs [when they come back for the
next treatment]. If they did not receive [the communication forms], they can call us.
During an interview with the DON on 5/22/24 at approximately 3:34pm, when asked about the process of
dialysis communication, the DON stated, Basically when a resident comes back, they email and also call.
There is a dialysis communication form down at [name of dialysis center] and that goes into detail. The
DON stated that the [name of dialysis center] dialysis communication forms were scanned in

Residents Affected - Some
the residents' medical record. The surveyor informed the DON of R98's missing communication forms.
When asked about the importance of completing those communication forms including the post treatment
assessment, the DON stated, You want to monitor after dialysis and assess. The DON stated that resident's
weight would be checked by the dialysis nurse to determine how much weight was taken off during the
procedure. The DON added that the dialysis nurse would complete another form [Fluid and BP
Management Report] during dialysis days.
Review of R98's May 2024 Fluid and BP Monitoring Report forms contained pre and post BP, pre and post
weight, target weight (weight without the excess fluid that builds up between dialysis treatments), weight
loss, IDWG (excessive interdialytic weight gain, usually related to an overload of sodium and water) and
UFR (ultrafiltration rate, composite metric of IDWG, treatment time and postdialysis weight, calculated with
each dialysis). Review of the same records revealed that R98's target weight was 85.5 kg (kilogram).
Further review of 5/1 to 5/20/24 forms revealed that R98's post wt (post dialysis weight) had been out of
range ranging from 86.1 to 89.4 kg.

Further review of R114's Orders revealed that the facility failed to indicate R114's dialysis prescription
including the length of dialysis treatment time and resident's target weight.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of R114's May 2024 MAR and TAR revealed the following:
Residents Affected - Some
- R114 received dialysis on 5/1, 5/3, 5/6, 5/8, 5/10, 5/13, 5/15, 5/17 and 5/20/24.
- VS were checked one time a day on Mon, Wed, Fri at 6am
- dialysis catheter was monitored every shift except on 5/11 and 5/15/24

5/22/24.
Further review of R154's May 2024 MAR and TAR revealed no indication that VS were monitored after
dialysis treatment.
Review of R114's May 2024 Dialysis Communication Tool revealed R114's heart rates were as follows:
5/6/24 = 49
5/8/24 = 49
5/10/24 = 51
5/15/24 = 50
5/17/24 = 51
5/20/24 = 52
5/22/24 = 52
Review of R114's progress notes revealed no indication that the physician or nurse practitioner was notified
of R114's heart rate on the above-mentioned dates.
During an interview with the Registered Nurse (RN) #818 on 5/22/24 at approximately 1:32pm, RN#818
stated, [R114] gets hemo [hemodialysis]. When asked about the care for her access site, RN#818 stated,
So for her, we just assess her access site. When she gets showers, we cover it. When asked when would
nurses monitor R114's vital signs and weights, RN#818 stated that nurses would document in PCC and
added, Before she leaves [for dialysis] and after [she comes back from dialysis. The weight for sure, we do
pre [dialysis] weight before she goes down. We document pain. It would be the night shift nurse [who
prepares the communication form]. They complete it because they send her down. Her [night shift] nurse,
she medicates her, do her pre dialysis assessment and at that point the aide takes her to dialysis. They
pack her food. When asked if nurses would complete an assessment including the VS and the dialysis
access site upon return from dialysis treatment, RN#818 stated, [R114] returns on day shift. We would
collect the communication tool. I like to look at it. I check the vitals [vital signs]. I asked how they feel, make
sure they did not have pain at the [dialysis access] site. We

don't have a particular piece [post dialysis note] in PCC. RN#818 added, That would be every shift vital
signs. When asked to whom they would report complications or issues, RN#818 stated, Nephrologist and
primary [physician]. We follow the primary [doctor]. When asked about R114's VS parameters and when
nurses would notify the physician, RN#818 stated, [R114] is very hypotensive [low blood pressure]. [R114]
gets Midodrine for low blood pressure [routine]. We don't have [VS] parameters for her. [R114] blood
pressure is low. She runs like that. When asked if VS parameters would be important especially with R114
being hypotensive, RN#818 stated, For sure. Having parameters would be efficient.
In an interview with RN#825 on 5/22/24 at approximately 2:05pm, RN#825 confirmed that night shift nurses
prepared the dialysis communication tool. RN#825 stated, We get the vitals when they come back from
[name of dialysis center]. [Name of main clinician at the dialysis center] she calls me. If there is something
going on I tell the nurse and I make the changes for the nurse. [Name of main clinician] is good in letting us
know. Sometimes, if there is bleeding, we monitor. When asked if nurses would complete an assessment
when a resident returns from dialysis, RN#825 stated, No. The only time is when there is something acute
going on. When asked when should nurses notify physician or NP related to VS, RN#825 stated, That is just
nursing. We would call for anything below 100 for the systolic to make sure. When asked if nurses should
notify physician about low heart rate, RN#825 stated, Yes, any below 60. When asked about the care
provided to the dialysis access site, RN#825 stated, We are not allowed to take anything off. If the dressing
comes off, we put it back, intact. Tape it up. No labs [and] no blood pressure [on the access site]. When
asked if nurses would document assessment after a resident returned from dialysis, RN#825 stated, We
document if there is something going on.
Review of facility's policy titled Care of Dialysis Access Devices dated 7/21 revealed, 1. Upon return from
dialysis, ensure fistula is assessed. Remove dressing if no active bleeding .2. Once dressing is removed,
assess site for redness, swelling, bruising and pain. 3. Leave the fistula open to air. 4. Assess bruit and thrill
every shift .
Review of facility's policy titled Renal Residents with Dialysis dated 2/16 revealed, .7. Nursing staff to
monitor for complications related to dialysis and ESRD, such as potential for bleeding, alteration in fluid
volume, potential for infection, alteration in nutrition, alteration in skin integrity and the effect of dialysis r/t
[related to] medications. 8. Nurse will assess hemodialysis site for s/sx [signs and symptoms] of infection,
and to monitor for a bruit and thrill if indicated. 9. Resident will be monitored for s/sx of complications from
dialysis upon their return to the facility. 10. The nurse will notify the MD [medical doctor] and the responsible
party for any change in the resident's condition. 11. Nurse to communicate with dialysis via communication
tool.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide hemodialysis care and
services consistent with professional standards of practice related to the pre and post dialysis assessment
and ongoing communication between the facility and the dialysis center for six (R154, R114, R98, R25,
R106, R155) of six residents reviewed for dialysis.
Findings include:
1.) Review of Resident #155 electronic Medical Diagnosis form indicated diagnoses of hypertensive chronic
kidney disease with stage 5 chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease (ESRD) dated 3/7/2023,
dependence on renal dialysis dated 3/7/2023 and ESRD dated 8/10/2023.

Mental Status (BIMS) Summary Score was 15.
According to online website https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7984985/ assessed 5/29/2024
indicated, BIMS is a brief cognitive screening measure that focuses on orientation and short-term word
recall. It also indicated if an individual had an overall summary score of 13-15, then the individual's mental
status was cognitively intact.
Physician order dated 3/8/2023 and timed 3:38 p.m. indicated an order for dialysis on Monday, Wednesday,
and Fridays at 5:00 a.m.
Dialysis Communication form dated 3/11/2024 and 4/5/2024, that were scanned into Resident #155's
electronic chart indicated the Dialysis Information section of the form was to be filled out by dialysis.
However, this section was not complete and the information regarding if the resident exhibited shortness of
breath, nausea/vomiting, cramping, or complaints of pain, and what medications were administered, if
treatment was completed without complications, and if resident was assessed by RN to be released back to
the unit from dialysis was blank.
May 2024 Treatment Administrative Record (TAR) indicated an order with a start date of 3/07/2023 to
monitor dialysis catheters every shift and to reinforce if needed every shift. On 5/15/2024 for the day and
evening shift the signature slots were blank and there was no documentation the dialysis catheter was
monitored, checked, or assessed.
During an interview on 5/22/24 at 9:20 a.m., RN #818 said there are times the dialysis department would
give the post Dialysis Communication form to the resident and the resident would not always give it to the
nurse to review. RN #818 also said this process was not good practice. RN #818 verified she was the nurse
in charge of Resident #155 on 5/15/2024 during the day and evening shift and she did not document or
sign that she monitored or checked the resident's dialysis catheter on that day. RN #818 said Resident
#155 was alert and oriented and would know what the nurses did post dialysis.
During an interview on 5/22/2024 at 9:33 a.m., Resident #155 said the facility nurses did not monitor or
assess her dialysis catheter daily nor did they do it after she returned from dialysis.
During an interview on 5/22/24 at 3:19 p.m., the Director of Nurses (DON) verified the Dialysis
Communication Forms that were scanned into the electronic record for Resident #155 for 3/11/2024 and
4/5/2024 were not filled out completely and the post dialysis vital signs and the section that informed the
nurse if the resident exhibited shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, cramping, complaints of pain,
medications administered, if treatment was completed without complications, and if resident was assessed
by RN to be released from dialysis back to the unit was blank. The DON said those sections were to be
completed by the dialysis department after completion of dialysis treatment to ensure the facility nurses
have that information to monitor and assess the resident. She also said that her expectation for the nurse
was to initial the TAR once the task was completed.
During an interview on 5/22/2024 at 9:59 a.m., dialysis Facility Administrator (FA) #300 said it was not their
practice to send their dialysis records to the facility. FA #300 said the facility had their own Dialysis
Communication Form for them to fill out and send with the resident, and they would complete the dialysis
section of the form after dialysis is complete and they would give the form to the resident to give to the
nurse once they returned to the unit. FA #300 further said she witnessed Dialysis Communication forms in
resident wheelchairs from several days after treatment, therefore
