noted. Other staff were interviewed with no concerns noted. The SRI revealed out of an abundance of
caution, the incident was reported to the police department.

the Former Director of Nursing stating what the resident said when she told her she was raped. The
Administrator was not told and did not obtain written or verbal details of when, by whom or where the rape
allegedly took place. The Administrator was unaware if Former DON #342 obtained any details of the rape.
The Administrator verified the statement she had from the Former DON was that she had no knowledge of
allegations of abuse. The Administrator said that meant she was stating she had not previously heard of
these statements being made.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident #168's active care plans revealed no plan of care was in place to directly address the
surgical incision to the LAKA site. The resident did have a non-compliance care plan but it only addressed
not keeping his indwelling urinary catheter collection bag covered and did not indicate he was known to
refuse surgical wound care or the application of a dressing to the surgical wound on his amputation site.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident #168's treatment administration record (TAR's) for June 2022 revealed the order to
cleanse the incision to the LAKA site with soap and water and to pat dry, apply a dry clean dressing, and
wrap with Kerlix securing with tape daily and PRN was included on the TAR. The nurses were initialing it
was being completed as ordered daily between 6:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
A review of Resident #168's nursing progress notes revealed a nurse's note, dated 06/22/22 at 9:14 A.M.
that indicated the resident's LAKA was ordered for a dry clean dressing (DCD) daily but the resident was
known to take it off as he stated it pulled when he took his drawers up and down while using the bathroom.
The physician had been notified but no return call was received. A prior note on 06/21/11 indicated the
DCD would be applied as the resident allowed.
On 06/22/22 at 8:35 A.M., an observation of Resident #168 revealed he was lying in bed. A surgical wound
was noted to the LAKA site with sutures intact. There was no dressing in place nor was there evidence of
an old dressing having been applied and removed. An interview with the resident at the time of the
observation revealed staff had not been providing any surgical wound care to his amputation site to include
the application of a dressing.
Subsequent observations on 06/22/22 through 06/23/22 revealed no evidence of a dressing having been
applied to the resident's LAKA site. Multiple observations were made on those two days with no evidence of
a dressing having been applied or evidence it had previously been applied and removed by Resident #168.
An observation on 06/23/22 at 11:15 A.M. revealed the resident was in bed watching TV. His lower body
was covered with a blanket. He was asked if he had a dressing on his LAKA surgical site and denied having
one on. He uncovered his stump to reveal no dressing was in place. His sutures remained intact and the
surgical incision was well approximated with only slight redness noted along the incision site. There was no
drainage noted or signs of any infection.
On 06/23/22 at 11:15 A.M., a follow up interview with Resident #168 revealed the staff had not been
washing his surgical incision to his LAKA site with soap and water as ordered by the physician. He denied
he had been refusing the treatment to his surgical site or had been removing the dressing himself after it
had been applied as indicated in the progress notes. He denied his dressing was catching on his pants
when he pulled them up and down when using the bathroom as also indicated in the nurses' progress
notes. He denied he had a dressing applied to that surgical wound after they stopped using the wound vac
on 06/17/22. The resident revealed he would not be opposed to having wound care provided or a dressing
applied if the physician wanted it and it was to help prevent infection. He thought it would be good for it to
be left open to air but denied anyone had ever provided him education on the benefits/ risks associated with
the treatment provided. The resident revealed the only thing that would catch on his pants when he pulled
them up and down was his sutures as they were long and would cause discomfort. The resident stated he
had since trimmed them down using a pair of scissors so that was not as much as an issue. The resident
stated he was not sure if he should have done that or not but did it anyway.

On 06/23/22 at 11:30 A.M. an interview with LPN #303 revealed she was not aware of what the treatment
orders were for Resident #168's surgical wound to his left stump. The LPN had to check the resident's
orders and confirmed the incision was supposed to be cleansed with soap and water, pat dry, apply DCD,
and wrap with Kerlix securing with tape every day and PRN. She confirmed the order had been in place
since 06/17/22 and acknowledged the resident had not been observed to have a dressing in place during
observations from 06/21/22 to 06/23/22. She reported the treatment was to be done on day shift between
6:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. She denied she had completed the treatment to Resident #168's surgical incision
as ordered for 06/23/22 despite it being over an hour and a half past due. She reported this was the first
day she had worked with the resident in a while. The LPN revealed the last time she took care of him, the
resident still had the use of the wound vac.
On 06/23/22 at 2:38 P.M., a phone interview with RN #308 revealed she was the nurse who was assigned
to the resident's unit on 06/21/22 and 06/22/22, when he was not noted to have a dressing on to his LAKA
surgical site. She reported the resident did not like to have a dressing on to his stump as when he went to
the bathroom his pants would catch on the dressing and pulled it off. It would also catch on his suture and
cause him discomforts. She reported the resident was temperamental and did not like to be bothered or
disturbed while in the bathroom. RN #308 revealed she did not approach the resident on those days to
perform his treatment as ordered. RN #308 revealed she assumed the resident washed his stump incision
with soap and water when he was washing the rest of his body as part of his personal care. She stated she
reached out to the physician on 06/22/22 to let him know the resident was not wanting to keep a dressing
on his incision site to see if he would allow it to be left open to air. She denied they had heard back from the
physician after she reached out to him. She was going to wait and see what the physician wanted to do
before approaching the resident about his treatment or dressing applications. RN #308 revealed she tried to
tread lightly around the resident and did not want to upset him. RN #308 revealed the resident had told the
staff in the past that he felt they treated him like a baby and she just did not want to upset him. She denied
she had provided education to the resident as to why it was important to comply with treatments and to
maintain a dressing on his surgical site to prevent infection.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to adequately
assess a pressure ulcer for Resident #67 to identify the proper stage of the ulcer. This affected one resident
(#67) of two residents reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident #67's medical record revealed the resident was originally admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. He was hospitalized on [DATE] and was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #67 had
diagnoses including a fracture of the second and third lumbar vertebrae, morbid obesity and adult onset
diabetes mellitus.
A review of Resident #67's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 05/30/22 revealed
the resident was assessed to be at risk for pressure ulcers and also had an unhealed pressure ulcer. The
unhealed pressure ulcer was noted to be a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial thickness loss of dermis
presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red or pink wound bed, without slough that may also present as
an intact or open/ ruptured blister) that was present upon admission or reentry into the facility.
A review of Resident #67's physician's orders revealed the resident had an order in place to cleanse his left
heel with normal saline, pat dry, apply a nickel thick layer or Santyl (an autolytic wound debrider) ointment
to the wound bed, cover with a 4 x 4 gauze fluffed and slightly damp with normal saline, cover with an ABD,
and wrap with Kerlix. The treatment was to be completed every day and as needed (PRN) and was initiated
on 06/01/22.
A review of Resident #67's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for having
actual altered skin integrity and was at risk for related complications due to a pressure injury to the left heel.
The interventions included assessing and recording the condition of the skin surrounding the pressure ulcer
and completing a weekly skin assessment to include measurements and observations of the pressure ulcer
and record.
Review of the weekly wound assessments revealed the following:
A wound assessment, dated 05/17/22 indicated the resident was readmitted to the facility with a blister area
that was noted to have opened. The area measured 4.7 centimeters (cm) in length by 3.5 cm width and had
100% granulation tissue in the wound bed. The wound edges were not attached to the base and was
macerated/ soft.
A wound assessment, dated 05/31/22 revealed Resident #67's pressure ulcer was assessed to be an an
unstageable pressure ulcer (known pressure ulcer but was not stageable due to the coverage of the wound
bed by slough and/ or eschar) that measured 8 cm in length by 6 cm width with 0.1 cm depth. The wound
bed had 30% granulation, 50% slough and 20% eschar and the wound had indicated to have declined.
A wound assessment, dated 06/07/22 revealed Resident #67's pressure ulcer was assessed to be a Stage
II pressure ulcer at that time, despite it being identified as an unstageable pressure ulcer the week before. It
measured 8.4 cm in length by 4.5 width with 0.1 cm depth and was noted to have

purulent drainage with a slight odor. There was 60% granulation and 40% slough present in the wound bed,
which would not be present, if the pressure ulcer by definition was truly a stage II pressure ulcer.
A wound assessment, dated 06/14/22 revealed Resident #67's pressure ulcer continued to be classified as
a Stage II pressure ulcer. It measured 8 cm in length by 4 cm width with 0.3 cm depth and had a moderate
amount of seropurulent exudate. The wound bed had 70% of granulation was noted and 30% slough.
A wound assessment, dated 06/21/22 revealed Resident #67's pressure ulcer remained classified as a
Stage II pressure ulcer. It measured 7.8 cm in length by 3.8 cm width with 0.2 cm depth with a moderate
amount of seropurulent drainage. The wound bed was indicated to be comprised of 70% epithelialization
tissue and 30% slough tissue.
On 06/23/22 at 10:15 A.M. a treatment observation was completed for Resident #67's pressure ulcer to the
left heel. The treatment was performed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #303 and she was assisted by
the facility's acting Director of Nursing (DON) who was also considered the facility's wound nurse. The
treatment was performed in accordance with the physician's orders. The DON assessed the wound and
obtained measurements, after the wound had been cleansed. She reported the peri-wound area was
macerated and the wound bed had 30% slough and 70% epithelial tissue present. She was hesitant when
describing the wound bed as having epithelialization tissue present stating it more in a question than a
statement. She stated she classified the wound as a Stage II pressure ulcer despite previously stating there
was 30% slough present.
On 06/23/22 at 2:10 P.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she had just taken over
as the facility's acting DON and had been the wound nurse for the past month. She reported she was
tossed into that role and had received wound training in May 2022. She stated she took her test and
became wound certified on 05/20/22. She confirmed the resident's area on his left heel originated on
05/12/22, when he returned to the facility after a hospitalization between 05/10/22 and 05/12/22. She
reported it was a blister that opened and would have been considered a Stage II pressure ulcer at that time.
She reported she did not assess it as a Stage II pressure ulcer until the assessment completed on
05/24/22, as that was when she became wound certified and was more familiar with wounds and their
assessments. She was not sure why she classified the pressure ulcer as a Stage II pressure ulcer on
06/07/22, after the previous week she had assessed it as an unstageable pressure ulcer. She
acknowledged an unstageable pressure ulcer had to be either a Stage III or IV pressure ulcer when the
slough or eschar was removed and could not be a Stage II pressure ulcer underneath. She also
acknowledged her weekly assessments since 05/31/22 continued to assess the pressure ulcer as a Stage
II pressure ulcer even though she indicated slough was present in the wound bed. She acknowledged by
definition a Stage II pressure ulcer did not have slough present. She was then asked to clarify her
assessment on 06/21/22, when she indicated epithelialization tissue was present in the wound bed when
she agreed she should have assessed the wound as a Stage III pressure ulcer (full thickness tissue loss,
subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle was not exposed, slough may be present but
did not obscure the depth of tissue loss) at that time. She reported she was informed by the MDS nurse
that it could not be epithelialization tissue present in a Stage III pressure ulcer, as the wound healing would
occur from the base of the wound up and not from the sides. She knew epithelialization tissue healing
occurred when wounds healed by the edges closing together, such as with a Stage II pressure ulcer, skin
tear or burn and granulation tissue healing occurred when the wound filled in from the base up until it was
healed. She stated she was still learning as she went along and it was a work in progress. She revealed
she was becoming more familiar with wounds after she

A review of the facility policy titled Pressure/ Stasis/ Arterial/ Diabetic Wound Guidelines, revised 05/10/17
revealed the purpose of the policy was to provide weekly documentation of wound measurements and
condition. Reassessments/ measurements were to be completed weekly or with significant change in
wound. It did not provide any directive in staging of the pressure ulcers and the facility did not provide any
additional policies that addressed that.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to ensure fall
prevention interventions were implemented as planned for Resident #14 and Resident #51 to decrease the
residents' risk of falls. This affected two residents (#14 and #51) of four residents reviewed for falls.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #51's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including myocardial infarction, hypertropic cardiomyopathy, Alzheimer's disease late onset,
unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbance, mood disorder due to known physiological condition,
mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, unspecified psychosis not due to substance or known
psychological condition. Deficiency of B vitamin, hypothyroidism, history of falling, osteoarthritis,
hypertension, dry eye syndrome. cognitive communication deficit, difficulty walking, muscle weakness,
constipation, dysphasia and altered mental status.
A review of Resident #51's care plan, initiated 11/27/18 revealed the resident was at risk for falling related
to a history of falls, weakness, cognitive impairment and receiving medication that increases risk of falls.
The goal was for the resident to remain free of falls with major injury. Interventions included visual cues to
bathroom door to identify bathroom location as resident will allow and staff to offer early morning snack as
resident will allow.
Review of the resident's falls in the last year revealed the resident sustained falls on 08/28/21, 04/23/22,
05/04/22 and 05/08/22.
A review of Resident #51's 05/04/22 fall revealed the resident was found in front of the bathroom doorway.
The resident sustained a skin tear to the left elbow as a result of the fall. Upon questioning, the resident
thought she was looking for the toilet. A new intervention included visual cue to bathroom door.
A review of Resident #51's 05/08/22 fall revealed the resident was noted to have a fall in the morning of
05/08/22 prior to breakfast. The resident was noted to sustain two skin tears (one to right arm, and one to
left) as a result of the fall. Upon investigating, the resident was noted to receive breakfast on the memory
care unit around 7:00 A.M. A new intervention was for staff to offer an early morning snack prior to
breakfast.
Review of the 05/16/22 significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident
was coded as not having any falls since the last assessment.
Review of the 06/03/22 quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was moderately impaired for
daily decision making, exhibited rejection of care and wandering. The resident required set up assist from
one staff for bed mobility, staff supervision set up for transfers, toileting walking in room, in corridor and on
unit. The assessment revealed the resident had no falls since the last assessment and received
anti-psychotic, anti-depressant and diuretic medications.
On 06/22/22 at 2:20 P.M. and 3:15 P.M. and on 06/23/22 at 9:55 A.M., 10:03 A.M. and 12:01 P.M.

observations of the resident's room revealed there was no signage (cues) visible on the bathroom door or
walls.
On 06/23/22 at 9:55 A.M. interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #300 revealed the resident was a recent
transfer to the unit as she was exit seeking. The RN revealed she did not know anything about falls for the
resident.
On 06/23/22 at 12:04 P.M. interview with RN #300 verified there was no signage (visual cues) on the
bathroom door to alert the resident of location in the of the bathroom. RN #300 revealed the intervention did
not carry over to the resident's profile for the State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) staff to know a sign
was to be there.
On 06/23/22 at 12:09 P.M. interview with STNA #304 revealed she did not recall ever seeing a sign in the
resident's room to locate the bathroom. She did not know what the resident's fall interventions would be.
The STNA was unaware to offer the resident a snack before breakfast. STNA #304 revealed it was not on
the resident's profile, information the STNA staff could view in their documentation system to offer a snack
in the morning before breakfast. The STNA denied offering the resident a snack this morning.
On 06/23/22 at 1:55 P.M. interview with RN #320 verified the resident had falls 05/04/22 and 05/08/22
resulting in skin tears. The RN verified the 05/16/22 significant change (MDS) 3.0 assessment was coded in
error and should have coded two falls with minor injury instead of no falls since last assessment.
Review of the facility Fall Management Program Guidelines, reviewed 03/16/22 revealed the facility strived
to maintain a hazard free environment, mitigate fall risk factors and implement preventative measures. The
resident care plan shall be updated to reflect any new or change in interventions. Nursing staff would
monitor and document continued resident response and effectiveness of interventions for 72 hours. Discuss
risk and interventions with resident and/or responsible party and communication interventions during shift
report.
2. A review of Resident #14's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including a history of falling, unsteadiness on her feet, difficulty in walking, muscle
weakness, syncope and collapse and hypertension (HTN).
A review of Resident #14's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/04/22 revealed the
resident did not have any communication issues and was cognitively intact. The resident required
supervision with staff set up help for bed mobility, ambulation in room and corridor, locomotion on and off
the unit and dressing, staff supervision with the assist of one was needed for transfers and toilet use. The
resident was noted to have had one fall with injury that was not major since her prior assessment.
A review of Resident #14's active care plans revealed the resident experienced actual falls and was at risk
for falling related to syncope and collapse, HTN, pain, and the use of oxygen and oxygen tubing. The goal
was for the resident to remain free of falls with major injury. Interventions included (on 03/23/22) anti-tippers
(bars applied to the back of the wheelchair to prevent it from tipping backwards) to her wheelchair.
A review of Resident #14's fall events revealed she had a fall that occurred on 03/23/22 in the day

for the use of anti-tippers to her wheelchair.
On 06/23/22 at 5:00 P.M. an observation of the resident's wheelchair in her room revealed it did not include
anti-tippers to the back of her wheelchair. The resident confirmed she did have a fall in the activity room in
which her wheelchair tipped over. She was not sure if the facility staff ever put anti-tippers on the back of
her wheelchair after that fall occurred. Findings were verified by LPN #318.
On 06/23/22 at 5:05 P.M., an interview with LPN #318 confirmed Resident #14's fall prevention
interventions in her plan of care included the use of anti-tippers to the back of her wheelchair. She
confirmed the wheelchair in the resident's room was the wheelchair used by the resident and it did not have
anti-tippers on the back of it. She reported she would submit a work order to have them put on the
wheelchair by the maintenance department.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #49's
weights were obtained as recommended by the dietician to adequately monitor the resident's nutritional
status and to identify a significant weight loss in a timely manner. This affected one resident (#49) of three
residents reviewed for nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of Resident #49's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including adult onset diabetes mellitus, depression, anxiety, anemia, Vitamin D deficiency,
hyperlipidemia and rheumatoid arthritis.
A review of Resident #49's nutrition admission assessment, dated 05/10/22 revealed the resident's current
body weight was 195 pounds upon admission. The weight was stable with the weight obtained in the
hospital. The dietician indicated the facility would monitor the resident's weight trends and weekly weights
were ordered. Interventions listed as part of the nutrition admission assessment revealed no new
recommendations were made but they would continue to monitor her weight trends.
A plan of care, dated 05/10/22 revealed Resident #49 was malnourished/ at risk for malnutrition related to
her diagnoses, inadequate nutrient/ energy intakes, and/or metabolic demands. The interventions included
obtaining the resident's weights as ordered/ needed.
A review of a nutrition progress note, dated 06/01/22 revealed the resident was noted to have a current
body weight of 166 pounds, which was a 28.4 pound/14.6% weight loss in the past 26 days. A weight loss
of 5% in one month was a significant loss and a loss of greater than 5% was a severe loss. The dietician
indicated weekly weights for monitoring were ordered. The interventions specified the dietician
recommended to continue weekly weights for four weeks as part of her review. She also recommended
changing the resident's current supplement order of Ensure twice a day to Med Pass 120 milliliters three
times a day.
A review of Resident #49's physician's orders revealed the resident was not ordered to have weekly weights
obtained until 06/02/22. There was no evidence weekly weights had been ordered following her admission
into the facility until 06/02/22.
A review of Resident #49's weights recorded in the electronic health record (EHR) confirmed the resident
weighed 195 pounds on 05/04/22. There was no documented evidence of the resident being weighed again
until 05/30/22 when her weight was down to 166.6 pounds.
On 06/23/22 at 4:10 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #341 confirmed there was no evidence
of any weights being obtained for Resident #49 between 05/04/22 and 05/30/22. She denied knowledge the
resident was a weekly weight after she had been admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She denied it was the
facility practice to get weekly weights for four weeks on all new admissions but had seen that done in other
facilities. She acknowledged by doing weekly weights after the resident's admission they would have
identified her weights were trending down before she ended up having a significant/severe weight loss of
28.4 pounds/14.6% in less than 30 days. She acknowledged the dietician indicated in her nutrition
admission assessment, dated 05/10/22 that they would continue to monitor the resident's weight trends and
she would be weighed weekly for four weeks. She was not able to

intended for them to be monitored weekly after her initial nutrition assessment was completed.
A review of the facility policy titled Guidelines for Weight Tracking, revised 01/16/21 revealed the purpose of
the policy was to ensure weights were monitored for weight gain and/or loss to prevent complications
arising from compromised nutrition/ hydration. The procedures indicated residents would have their weight
taken and recorded upon admission to establish a baseline. Unless otherwise indicated or ordered by the
physician the resident would have their weight taken and recorded monthly.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to develop and implement
a comprehensive and individualized pain management program to provide adequate pain control for
Resident #35.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred on 06/21/22 when Resident #35, who received Hospice services for terminal
Parkinson's Disease, complained of continued, unrelieved pain despite scheduled and as needed narcotic
pain medication doses, exhibited by verbal complaints of pain and moaning. The facility failed to
comprehensively assess the resident's pain and notify Hospice services and/or the primary care physician
regarding the resident's increased pain resulting in the resident being very restless and unable to get
adequate rest due to increased pain despite additional dosages of as needed pain medication.
This affected one resident (#35) of one resident reviewed for pain. The facility identified 12 residents
receiving Hospice services and 50 residents on a pain management program. The census was 71.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #35's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/25/22 with diagnoses including
metabolic encephalopathy, Parkinson's Disease, chronic kidney disease, kidney and ureter stones. The
resident was also admitted with a pressure ulcer that was determined to be a [NAME] (terminal) ulcer by
Hospice staff.
Review of the admission Observation and Data Collection form, dated 02/25/22 revealed the resident did
not report pain on admission to the facility.
Review of the plan of care, dated 03/04/22 revealed the resident was at risk for pain related to acute pain,
pressure ulcer and treatments, cervical disc degeneration and history of femur and pubis fracture.
Interventions including notify physician of increased pain, observe for and record verbal and non-verbal
signs of pain.
Review of the Hospice team care plan (provided by the Hospice provider), dated 04/13/22 revealed the
Hospice team was responsible for professional management of care in all settings as care related to the
(resident's) terminal diagnosis and related conditions. The Hospice team was responsible for plan of care
coordination with all contracted providers. Nursing, psych/social/pastoral care and volunteer visits as
needed 24 hours per day for symptom management, emotional and spiritual support. Patient/caregiver
informed of 24/7 access to all services and phone numbers provided.
Review of the significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 04/25/22 revealed the
resident had moderate cognitive impairment and required extensive assistance of two staff to total
dependence of one staff for activities of daily living. Further review revealed the resident occasionally had
pain during the assessment and rated his pain an eight on a 1-10 pain scale, which indicated a moderate
pain level and staff relied on non-verbal indicators such as protective body movements and vocal
complaints of pain. The assessment revealed the resident received opiate pain medications seven days
during the assessment period.
Review of the physician's orders revealed the resident had an order, dated 04/13/22 for the pain
medication, Oxycodone 7.5 milligrams (mg) every two hours as needed for pain and an order, dated

A plan of care, dated 05/09/22 revealed the resident was receiving Hospice services for terminal diagnosis
of Parkinson's disease. Interventions included to administer drugs as needed for palliation per physician
orders, administer pain medication as ordered and as needed, communicate with Hospice when any
changes were indicated to the plan of care, coordinate care with the Hospice provider with the contact
number and address of Hospice provided.
On 06/21/22 at 5:15 P.M. interview with Resident #35's son revealed he wanted to ensure the resident's
pain was controlled and he was comfortable. The son stated there were recent issues with the resident's
pain control and the resident having extreme pain.
Review of a progress note, authored by Registered Nurse (RN) #385, dated 06/21/22 at 10:03 P.M.
revealed the resident was moaning out in pain. Scheduled pain medications given with negative results
noted. As needed pain medications given twice with negative results noted. One on one and repositioning
negative. The resident complained of pain in his kidneys, back and all over. The resident refused dinner,
offered and accepted fluids. The note indicated this nurse would continue to monitor.
Review of a progress note, authored by RN #385, dated 06/22/22 at 12:00 A.M. revealed the resident
continued to complain of pain. This nurse administered scheduled pain medications with an additional dose
of as needed (PRN) pain medications after one on one, toileting and repositioning were ineffective. The
resident stated his hips felt like they were breaking through his skin. The resident stated he was miserable.
The note revealed the nurse provided fluids to the resident. The resident continued to have no urine output
at this time.
Further review of the progress note, dated 06/22/22 at 4:07 A. M. revealed the resident continued to moan
in discomfort while laying in bed. The resident continued to have zero urine output at this time. The nurse
completed a bladder scan with results of greater than 400 milliliters of urine in the bladder. A urinary
catheter was inserted per order due to urinary retention. The resident tolerated the procedure with greater
than 400 milliliters of milky yellow urine obtained. The urine was noted to have a large amount of sediment
upon return. The note revealed the nurse medicated the resident with scheduled pain medication as well as
a dose of the PRN pain medication. The resident stated the pain was still terrible. The resident remained
alert and able to make his needs known during the night. The resident was very restless and unable to get
adequate rest due to increased pain despite additional dosages of PRN pain medication.
On 06/22/22 at 5:25 A.M. Hospice was notified of the change in resident condition as well as increased
pain. The nurse asked for a possible re-assessment for the need of Morphine pain medication. Awaiting a
return call from the hospice nurse.
Further review of the progress notes revealed no additional documentation regarding the Hospice
notification or the resident's pain until 06/22/22 at 2:25 P.M. when RN #309 documented the Hospice nurse
visited and a new order was received to change the resident's scheduled pain medication and increase the
dosage of the PRN Oxycodone.
Review of the PRN Oxycodone doses revealed staff documented the resident received additional
Oxycodone on 06/21/22 at 5:31 P.M. (effective), 10:03 P.M. (effective); 06/22/22 1:14 A.M. (effective) and

On 06/23/22 at 12:40 P.M. interview with Hospice Registered Nurse (RN) #401 revealed she visited
Resident #35 from Hospice and revealed Hospice staff were unaware of the resident's continued
complaints of unrelieved pain until 06/22/22 during the 5:00 A.M. hour when the Hospice triage nurse was
notified. RN #401 verified Hospice was not updated on the intensity of the resident's pain or his inability to
rest during the night and the message relayed was not as stated in the facility nurse's progress notes. RN
#401 indicated had this been described to the triage nurse, Hospice would have visited the resident sooner
for his pain management. RN #401 revealed the Hospice goal for Resident #35 was to achieve the best
level of pain control for the resident as possible. RN #401 revealed the resident would never be pain free
due to his chronic pain but Hospice wanted the resident as comfortable as possible. RN #401 revealed the
resident received scheduled Oxycodone (narcotic pain medication) every four hours and Oxycodone every
two hours as needed. RN #401 revealed the facility staff were told hospice could be called any time, day or
night, if they need to report something or the resident needed anything and the expectation would be the
same for uncontrolled pain. Further interview revealed, for a Hospice resident with uncontrolled pain,
offering food and fluids would be an ineffective intervention to attempt and if he was having issues with pain
control as indicated in the progress notes, a call should have been placed to the triage nurse to evaluate
the resident and hopefully get new orders and something different for pain control started sooner. The RN
also revealed there were always options for Hospice patients for pain control and if the resident was not
achieving comfort, he should not have been left in that amount of pain for the night, affecting his ability for
rest. Lastly, the RN stated residents with Hospice services needed to have the best pain control possible
and verbalizations of unrelieved pain and/or moaning indicated the resident did not have the best pain
control for him. RN #401 revealed the resident's pain management regimen was changed to longer acting
medications and a higher dose of Oxycodone every two hours, as needed, to prevent additional issues with
pain management.
Residents Affected - Few
On 06/23/22 at 3:28 P.M. interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing verified the progress notes
indicated the resident had uncontrolled pain and the nurse working should have contacted Hospice for the
resident before the end of her shift to ensure the resident had effective pain management. The ADON
revealed the nurse should have called the primary care physician if Hospice wasn't available but indicated
Hospice was available with an on-call nurse after hours seven days a week. The ADON also verified there
was no comprehensive pain assessment completed with the resident's uncontrolled pain on 06/21/22 into
06/22/22. The ADON verified the facility pain management policy required a comprehensive pain
assessment be completed with changes in pain and the plan of care indicated the physician or hospice
should be contacted with changes in pain. Lastly, the ADON verified the nursing progress notes indicated
the resident had severe, uncontrolled pain affecting his quality of life and his ability to sleep and/or rest with
a terminal diagnosis. The ADON also verified there was no evidence the primary care physician was
notified.
On 06/23/22 at 5:06 P.M. interview with RN #309 revealed she was the nurse who relieved night shift on
06/22/22. The night shift nurse reported the resident had excruciating pain throughout the night. The
Hospice nurse came that day and ordered medication changes. The RN verified Resident #35's pain was
usually controlled and it was unusual for him to have uncontrolled pain like he had during the shift.
Attempts to reach RN #385 during the survey process were unsuccessful.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on observation, record review, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility failed to
identify and/or monitor and measure specific targeted behaviors, perform Abnormal Involuntary Movement
Scale (AIMS) testing and/or complete gradual dose reductions as required for the use of psychotropic
medication to ensure psychotropic medications were justified and administered at the lowest effective dose
for each resident. This affected three residents (#41, #50 and #51) of five residents reviewed for
unnecessary medication use. The facility identified 55 residents who received psychoactive medications.
The facility census was 71.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #50's medical record revealed a 04/29/21 admission with diagnoses including
dementia without behavioral disturbance, multi-system degeneration of the autonomic nervous system,
orthostatic hypotension, major depressive disorder, single episode, Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic
neuropathy, psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition, severe protein-calorie
malnutrition, anxiety disorder, diverticulosis of intestine (part unspecified) without perforation or abscess
without bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease without esophagitis, allergic rhinitis, dizziness and
giddiness and repeated falls.
A review of physician's medication orders revealed the resident had an order (dated 04/20/22) for the
anti-anxiety medication Ativan one milligram (mg) twice a day and Ativan 0.5 mg once a day for anxiety. An
order (dated 04/29/21) for the anti-depressant medication, Cymbalta 90 mg daily for major depressive
disorder. An order (changed 06/07/22) for the anti-psychotic medication, Risperdal two mg at bedtime for
psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition and Risperdal one mg daily. An order
(dated 01/28/22) for the anti-depressant medication, Trazodone 300 mg at bedtime for depressive disorder.
Review of the plan of care, dated 05/14/21 for psychotropic medication use revealed the following:
A plan of care indicating the resident was at risk for developing adverse effects from the use of
anti-depressant medicine medication. The goal was for the resident to be free of adverse effects of
anti-depressants. The approach included to attempt a gradual dose reduction in two separate quarters with
at least one month between the attempts during the first year the resident received an anti-depressant
medication then yearly unless clinically contradicted.
A plan of care indicating the resident was at risk for adverse consequences related to receiving an
anti-psychotic medication for psychosis. The long-term goal was the resident would not exhibit signs and
drug related side effects or adverse drug reaction. Interventions included attempt a gradual dose reduction
within two separate quarters at least one month between attempts during the first year the resident
receives an antipsychotic medication then yearly and less contradicted. AIMS testing per guidelines.
A plan of care indicating the resident was at risk for adverse consequences related to receiving an

Review of the 05/12/22 annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was
moderately impaired for daily decision making, exhibited no moods or behaviors and required extensive
assist from one staff for bed mobility and transfers. The assessment revealed the resident received
anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication.
Record review revealed no evidence of two gradual dose reductions for the resident's Risperdal from
admission 04/2021 through 04/2022.
Record review revealed no evidence of a GDR for the use of Cymbalta. On 06/25/22 (following surveyor
intervention) the pharmacy made a recommendation for a GDR.
Record review revealed no evidence of a GDR attempt for the use of Ativan.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed staff were to document from set target
behavior/psych at the end of each shift; mark frequency (how often behavior occurred and intensity) and
how resident responded to redirection. The intensity code zero revealed the behavior did not occur, one
reflected the behavior was easily altered and two was difficult to redirect. The findings were to be
documented twice a day. The same wording was repeated for the target set behavior for anxiety and for
depression. There were 10 days between 06/01/22 and 06/22/21 where a numerical number of one or two
was entered for psychological behaviors, 16 days for depression and 17 days for anxiety. There was no
indication of what the psychological, depression and anxiety behaviors were.
There was no evidence of baseline or continued Abnormal Involuntary Movement (AIMS) testing for the
resident.
Review of a Behavior Analysis Report, documented by STNA staff revealed there were no behaviors
documented for the resident from May or June of 2022.
Review of the May and June 2022 progress notes revealed no documented behaviors exhibited by the
resident.
On 06/22/22 at 2:13 P.M. the resident was observed at a music activity. On 06/23/22 at 09:08 A.M. the
resident was at an exercise activity. No behaviors were observed.
On 06/23/22 on 5:31 P.M. interview with Registered Nurse #341 verified the resident had no identified
targeted behaviors being monitored and measured for the use of psychotropic medications. There was no

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
adverse consequences related to receiving an anti-depressant medication for depression. The long-term
goal was the resident will not exhibit signs and drug related side effects or adverse drug reaction.
Interventions included attempt a gradual dose reduction within two separate quarters at least one month
between attempts during the first year the resident receives an antipsychotic medication then yearly and
less contradicted. AIMS testing per guidelines.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the 06/03/22 quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was
moderately impaired for daily decision making, exhibited rejection of care and wandering. The resident
required one staff set up assist for bed mobility, staff supervision set up for transfers, toileting walking in
room, in corridor and on unit. The assessment revealed the resident had no falls since the last assessment
and received anti-psychotic, anti-depressant and diuretic medications.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed documentation of set target behaviors of
psychosis: delirium, hallucinations and false belief. At the end of each shift mark frequency how often
behavior occurred and intensity and how resident responded to redirection. The intensity code zero
revealed the behavior did not occur, one reflected the behavior was easily altered and two the behavior was
difficult to redirect. The findings were to be documented twice a day. The same wording was repeated for
the target set behavior for moods or behaviors (none specified). There were 18 days between 05/23/22 and
06/22/21 where a numerical number of one or two was entered for psychosis and 20 days for moods or
behavior. There was no indication of what the psychotic, mood or behaviors were.
There was no evidence of baseline or continued AIMS testing for the resident.
Review of the Behavior Analysis Report for May and June of 2022 documented by the STNAs staff
revealed on 05/07/22 grabbing and hitting redirection. A second entry for 05/07/22 revealed the resident
was redirected and 1:1 provided for rejection of care with effect. On 05/21/22 rejection of care was
documented with redirection and not effective. A 06/18/22 rejection of care notation indicated the resident
was redirected and 1:1 attention was not effective. The resident was not allowing staff to wash her post
incontinence.
On 06/22/22 at 3:15 P.M. the resident was observed sitting at a music program then in the lobby at a table
with three other residents. On 06/23/22 at 9:03 A.M., 10:03 A.M. and 12:01 P.M. the resident was observed
in bed with her eyes closed. No behaviors were observed.
On 06/23/22 at 9:55 A.M. interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #300 revealed the resident was a recent
transfer to the unit and was exit seeking. The RN revealed the resident would cycle and go from social
(being up all day) to wanting to be alone.
On 06/23/22 at 2:33 P.M. interview with RN #341 verified there was no evidence of a baseline AIMS test.
On 06/23/22 at 3:21 P. M. interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) verified the target
behaviors on the care plans of delirium, hallucinations and false belief and swinging, spitting and throwing
things at staff did not match the behaviors on the MAR. The ADON further verified the behaviors on the
MAR were not measurable when scored due to not identifying what behavior was observed.
