F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of the medical record and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident receiving psychotropic medications had a comprehensive care plan with measurable objectives and interventions to ensure appropriate care was being provided, a resident with multiple falls had a comprehensive care plan with appropriate goals and outcomes, and a resident with congestive heart failure and chronic respiratory failure had a comprehensive care plan with measurable objectives and interventions. This affected three (Resident #8, #9 and #44) of 12 residents reviewed for comprehensive care plans. The facility census was 40. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #8 revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include anxiety disorder, major depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia and Alzheimer's disease. Review of the physician's orders, dated 03/19/19, revealed an order for Trazadone (antidepressant) 50 milligrams (mg.) one tablet by mouth at bedtime for insomnia written on 03/19/19. A physician order, dated 08/07/19, revealed an order for Melatonin tablet three mg. at bedtime for insomnia. Review of the care plan revealed the care plan did not include the resident was having difficulty with insomnia and therefore did not have any non-pharmalogical interventions to promote sleep without using medications and/or using [NAME] medications to treat the residents symptoms of insomnia and monitoring the resident for insomnia. Interview with Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator #30 on 09/04/19 at 1:12 P.M. confirmed there was no care plan for insomnia. She stated she was sure the nurses would be monitoring her sleep and the resident was able to tell them. She agreed there was no evidence in the medical record of the resident not being able to sleep or any interventions to help promote sleep. 2. Record review for Resident #9 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive lung disease, major depression disorder and hallucinations. On 06/09/19, the resident was diagnosed with senile degeneration of the brain and was noted to exhibit short-term and long-term memory loss. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed Resident #9 was cognitively intact in 01/2019 and was cognitively impaired in 06/2019. Review of Resident #9's plan of care, last revised on 08/29/19, revealed the resident was a high risk for falls related to deconditioning, gait and balance problems, limited mobility, muscle weakness and has had repeated falls. With interventions, the resident was to be free of falls through the next review date of 10/03/19. As of 08/29/19, the resident had one fall. The interventions did not include Resident #9's cognitive changes nor were the interventions revised to address her diminished cognitive level to prevent her from falling. Observation of Resident #9 on 09/05/19 at 7:00 A.M. revealed the resident to be in a low bed with a mat. Resident #9's care plan as of 09/05/19 did not include a low bed with a mat.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 09/04/19 at 5:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Registered Nurse #2 confirmed the plan of care has not been updated to reflect the changes in Resident #9's cognitive level nor does it reflect new interventions to prevent further falls for someone who displayed increased cognitive impairment. 3. Review of the closed medical record for Resident #44 revealed an admission date of 07/03/19 with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure, congestive heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Review of the nurse's note, dated 07/25/19 at 1:24 P.M., revealed at 1:10 P.M. Resident #44 was complaining of shortness of breath and pressure in his chest and wanted to be sent out to the hospital. There was no comprehensive care plan in place for the resident's chronic respiratory failure and congestive heart failure. Interview with MDS Coordinator #30 on 09/05/19 at 1:01 P.M. verified Resident #44's comprehensive care plan did not address congestive heart failure and chronic respiratory failure. Review of the undated policy titled Care Plans-Comprehensive revealed the comprehensive care plan has been designed to incorporate identified problem areas, incorporate risk factors associated with identified problems, build on the resident's strengths, reflect treatment goals and objectives in measurable outcomes, identify the professional services that are responsible for each element of care, prevent declines in the resident's functional status and/or functional levels, and enhance the optimal functioning of the resident by focusing on a rehabilitative program.
