or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview, and review of the facility policy the facility failed to ensure care planned
interventions were timely implemented for treatments for Resident #156's unstageable sacral pressure

anything about Resident #156's order to check for orthostatic hypotension, and there was no
documentation explaining why it was ordered by Medical Director #494. CNP #320 stated if the order said

been done when he ordered it. MD #494 stated Resident #156's dizziness was probably caused by
medications he was taking for heart failure. MD #494 indicated if Resident #156's orthostatic hypotension
was positive it could have contributed to his fall.

Interview on 06/24/24 at 4:20 P.M. of the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed LPN #497 no longer worked at
the facility and could not be contacted to ask why Resident #156's blood pressure and heart rate were not
checked for orthostatic hypotension. The DON stated on 04/26/24, Resident #156's blood pressure and
heart rate were not checked for orthostatic hypotension, and she did not know why. The DON confirmed
Resident #156's fall investigation did not include a witness statement from the aide, and it should have
been included. The DON confirmed the fall investigation stated there was no noted drop in Resident #156's
blood pressure from lying to standing and she did not know how that could be documented because there
was no documentation Resident #156's blood pressure was taken while lying and standing. The DON
confirmed the nurse who initiated the fall investigation used the post fall investigation instead of the fall
investigation and it was completed by three different nurses and only one nurse (LPN #433) should have
completed the form. The DON confirmed neurological checks were not completed after Resident #156's fall
and they should have been initiated because the fall was unwitnessed. The DON confirmed UM #386
checked the box on the fall investigation form for neurological checks as not applicable, but that was
incorrect. The DON stated interventions and notifications should have been done.
Review of the facility policy titled Fall Prevention and Management, dated 05/25/21, included if the resident
was identified to be at risk for falls, a care plan should be initiated that included a plan to potentially
diminish the risk for falls. The care plan should include interventions that address environmental factors,
activities of daily living (ADL) factors, risk factors that result from dementia and other mental diagnosis,
medical diagnosis that put the resident at higher risk. Issues such as toileting, eating, transferring, and
impulsiveness should be considered. The care plan can address furniture arrangements, footwear,
medications that can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and instability. If the resident hit their head or it was an
unwitnessed fall begin neuro checks per the neuro checks policy. Identify if there were any witnesses to the
fall. Ask the witnesses what they saw and have them write a statement if possible. Complete the Post Fall
Assessment and complete a Fall Follow Up UDA every shift for 72 hours.

to sit up for long periods of time or fully participate in therapies. Resident #156 also expressed that he was
unable to complete full sessions of HD (hemodialysis) due to the pain and even expressed his desire to
potentially discontinue dialysis. Resident #156's pain was severe sacral pain without radiation and was a
deep ache with occasional sharpness. Resident #156 reported minimal relief with current pain regimen of
Percocet 5-325 mg (Resident #156 did not have Percocet ordered until 04/26/24 at 5:22 P.M.) and tramadol

effect on therapy progress and tolerance. Monitor closely for side effects and discontinue medication
immediately if any signs and symptoms are present.

Review of the undated facility policy titled Pain Management and Assessment included to the extent
possible and in consideration of cognitive abilities, the nurse would provide a thorough assessment by
observation of activities and treatment, relief for detection of pain and to attempt to identify location and any
limitations imposed by the pain. Clues might include facial grimaces during care, guarding or protecting a
body limb or part. Additionally, the basis for the pain management included source, type, and intensity of
pain, the use of the appropriate pain management scale for the resident's ability to express pain, to include
non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment and whether each treatment was effective. Impact of
pain on quality of life including sleep loss, function abilities and mood. Use of the 1 to 10 pain scale for
residents with intact cognition abilities who can and are willing to determine their worst pain ever (10) and
no pain (1) range using numbers.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00154408.
