Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based upon interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment accurately reflected the status of use of anticoagulant medication for Resident #43, status of falls and injuries for Resident #46, and the delivery of dialysis and hospice services for Resident #68. This affected three of 23 records reviewed. The facility census was 113.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #43 revealed an admission date of 10/09/18 with diagnoses including chest pain, dyslipidemia, history of a gastrointestinal bleed, hypothyroidism, and aspiration pneumonia. Review of the physicians orders for January 2019 revealed Resident #23 received medications related to cardiac and thyroid conditions. The resident was not ordered any anticoagulant medication. Review of the medication administration record (MAR) for January 2019 revealed the resident did not receive any anticoagulant medications from 01/05/19 through 01/11/19. Review of the Annual MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 01/11/19, revealed the assessment had been coded to indicate Resident #43 had received anticoagulant medication seven of seven days during the assessment reference period. Interview on 03/0519 at 2:39 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #52 revealed the nurse who completed the MDS was new and didn't know she should not have coded the medication as an anticoagulant. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #6 revealed she stated she had completed the MDS assessment and thought Clopidogrel (an antiplatelet medication) was an anticoagulant and was not aware that the Resident Assessment Instruction(RAI) Manual included specific direction that the medication was not be coded as an anticoagulant. Review of the RAI Manual revealed Clopidogrel (Plavix) was not to be coded on the MDS as an anticoagulant medication. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #46 revealed an admission date of 09/20/18 with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anxiety, and spondylosis. Review of the nurses notes revealed the resident had falls on 10/01/18, 10/13/18, 10/22/18, 11/11/18, and 11/16/18. After the fall on 10/13/18 the resident complained of right knee pain, rating it at 8/10. After the fall on 10/22/18 the resident complained of pain in the left hip and femur.

Review of the MDS assessments revealed the staff had completed an admission MDS assessment on 09/30/18, a quarterly MDS assessment on 10/11/18, and another quarterly MDS assessment on 01/11/19. The MDS was coded as having had two falls with no injury and no falls with either minor or major injury. Interview on 03/05/18 at 2:37 A.M. with RN #146, who investigated the falls, revealed Resident #46 had x-rays performed after two of the falls because of pain. Interview on 03/06/19 at 4:33 P.M. with RN #52 revealed she stated she had missed falls and was not aware of the X-rays. She stated the MDS should have been coded to reflect the resident had two (or more) falls with no injury and two (or more) falls with injury except major since the previous assessment. Review of the RAI manual revealed the number of falls was to be coded in section J of the MDS and further classified as number of falls with no injury, falls with injury except major and falls with major injury. Minor injury was defined as bruises, sprains, skin tears and any fall related injury that causes pain. 3. Resident #68 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic pulmonary disease, acute systolic heart failure, dementia with behavioral disturbances, and acquired absence of specific parts of the digestive system. Review of Resident #68's MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 12/14/18, indicated the resident exhibited severe cognitive impairment and received dialysis. Review of Resident #68's medical record, physician orders, medication administration records (MARS) and treatment administration records (TARS) for March 2018 revealed Resident #68 received hospice services and not dialysis. Interview on 03/07/19 at 10:47 A.M. with MDS Nurse #52 confirmed Resident #68's comprehensive assessment, dated 12/14/18, was inaccurate and the resident did receive hospice services.

Review of Resident #20's plan of care (no date) revealed the resident exhibited signs and symptoms of behaviors as demonstrated by delusions/hallucinations related to Lewy Body dementia, and Parkinson's Disease. Interventions included: resident will exhibit improvement in behavior - delusion/hallucinations; encourage participation in activities of choice, and provide opportunities to discuss interests and concerns; encourage performance of independent ADL and acceptance of assistance as needed; if appropriate, stop providing care and try again later after a brief break or ask another staff person to assist; intervene as needed to ensure safety and the safety of others; monitor behaviors and assist with interventions; assist in determining if her behavior is stimulated by certain activities, noise levels, persons or events; notify resident's Medical Doctor (MD) if his/her behavior interferes with functioning, interactions with others, and/or daily routine; refer to the psychiatrist and/or psychologist services as needed, and follow treatment recommendations. Review of Resident #20's plan of care (no date) revealed the resident was at increased risk for adverse side effects and injury related to falls do to the need of psychotropic medication to manage the symptoms of anxiety, depression delusions and hallucinations, Lewy body dementia, and Parkinson's. Interventions included: administer medication as ordered, and monitor for adverse reactions such as sedation, unsteady gait decreased appetite, weight loss, dry mouth, uncontrolled body movements, dizziness, and report to MD; attempt gradual dosage reductions (GDR) if recommended by the psychiatrist, pharmacist or MD; monitor for behavior listed on log, every shift, and document on behaviors log, if increase in negative behavior is noted report to MD or physiatrist; monitor for increased falls. Review of Resident #20's nurses notes from 12/06/18 to 03/04/19 revealed no documented evidence nurses documented the monitoring of the resident signs or symptoms of delusion or hallucinations. Review of monthly pharmacy reviews, dated 11/01/18 to 02/19, revealed no irregularities, except for 01/23/19 when the pharmacist documented the resident was being treated for Parkinson's, depression, and anxiety with the history of hallucinations. Please note medications treating Parkinson's can cause psychosis. Dose reductions could be attempted to reduce psychosis. The physician responded on 01/25/19, no change at this time. GDR contraindicated due to patient currently showing symptoms. GDR could result in negative outcomes at this time. Review of Resident #20's monthly Behavior Flow Sheets, dated 11/01/18 to 02/18/19, revealed the monthly flow sheets identified behaviors as depressed mood and increased anxiety. Further review of the

Staff did not consistently document if interventions attempted were affective. Monthly Behavior Flow Sheets did not monitor for delusions or hallucinations as indicated in the plan of care. February Behavior Flow Sheet, dated from 02/19/19 to 02/28/19, was blank and contained no documented evidence staff monitored the resident's behavior. This was verified through interview with the Director of Nursing on 03/06/19 at 12:10 P.M. 2.

Further review of the monthly Behavior Flow Sheets revealed when behavior did occur, staff did not consistently document the type of behavior, such as what type of depressive symptoms the resident displayed, if a behavior was marked with the number 3, it was unclear if it was three separate behavioral incidents or one behavioral incident with three behaviors. Monthly Behavior Flow Sheets did not monitor for crying, withdrawal, or anger behaviors as indicated per the plan of care.
