This affected one (#9) of one resident reviewed for abuse. The census was 44. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #9 revealed an admission date of 11/22/21, with the diagnoses of elevated liver enzymes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, syncope and collapse, encephalopathy, and bipolar disorder. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had intact cognition and required limited assistance of one staff for bed mobility, extensive assistance of one staff for transfers, locomotion, toilet use and personal hygiene. It also stated the resident had no behaviors. Review of the care plan dated 12/08/21 revealed the resident had bowel incontinence with interventions to utilize briefs and change as needed, check and change every two hours, encourage fluids during the day to promote prompted voiding responses, monitor and document for signs of urinary tract infection. Interview on 02/22/22 at 11:27 A.M., with Resident #9 revealed she had a portion of her colon removed and it caused her to have diarrhea often. She stated one aide (who she refused to tell the name of), would point her finger at her and holler at her saying she shouldn't poop the bed, but she had no control of her bowel. She stated that staff made her get out of bed and go to the bathroom and clean herself up. When the aide eventually helped her clean herself, she was rough with wiping and it caused her to cry. She stated she told State Tested Nurse Assistant (STNA) #132 about the interactions.

STNA #132 stated STNA #138 stated she asked the resident if she could get up to go to the bathroom and if she could, then she should to encourage her. STNA #132 stated she had seen STNA #138 interact with the resident before and she was never frightening, abusive or mean, and if so, she would tell the nurse and report.

The DON confirmed the bruises on Resident #6's hands could be observed without a full skin observation. The DON confirmed that the skin observations did not consistently identify wounds, including ones they were already aware of like Resident #6's pressure ulcer. The DON stated the aides are not very exact. On 02/24/22 at 11:25 A.M., the DON confirmed they had not yet documented on the bruises confirmed by RN #112 the day before, and verified they should have been documented on.
