cerebral ischemic attack unspecified, essential primary hypertension, hyperlipidemia unspecified, other
nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field, anemia unspecified, fecal impaction, type 2 diabetes mellitus
with hyperglycemia, and acute kidney failure unspecified. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0
assessment for Resident #84 revealed a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 06 out of 15
indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of the physician orders for Resident #84 revealed an order
for Seroquel oral tablet 25 milligram (MG) to be given one time a day at bedtime related to unspecified
dementia, unspecified severity, with psychotic disturbance. Interview on 08/25/25 at 3:51 P.M. with Director

Seroquel oral table 25 milligram (MG) to be given two tablets by mouth three times a day related to
restlessness and agitation.Interview on 08/25/25 at 3:51 P.M. with DON confirmed Resident #8's diagnosis
for Seroquel was not appropriate. She confirmed this was a previously cited resident but the medical
director or other in house staff did not review Resident #8's case to determine if the medication and
diagnosis was appropriate for continued use. Review of the facility policy titled, Psychotropic Drug Usage
dated January 2025 revealed all psychotropic medications must be supported by a clearly documented
diagnosis. The diagnosis associated with each prescribed psychotropic medication will be obtained directly
from the attending physician or consulting physician and documented in the resident's medical record.This
deficiency is a new cite found during the revisit survey for the complaint and annual survey dated 03/12/25.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, policy review, hospital record review, and interview, the facility failed to develop and
implement a comprehensive, resident centered wound management program for Resident #45 who
sustained an injury/area of non-pressure related skin impairment to the right lower leg. This affected one
(#45) of two reviewed for skin impairments. The total facility census was 81.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #45 was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted [DATE] with
diagnoses that included prepatellar bursitis of the left knee, cellulitis of the right lower limb, cerebral
infarction, dependence on renal dialysis, end stage renal disease, and type II diabetes.
The quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 01/05/25, revealed Resident #45 was
cognitively intact and used a wheelchair. The resident did not receive scheduled pain medication but did
receive as needed pain medication for occasional pain rated a four out of ten pain rating (on a 0-10 pain
scale with zero being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever experienced by the resident).
A Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR) dated 01/21/25 at 12:30 A.M.
revealed Resident #45 reported hitting a bookshelf and hurt the right leg (on 01/20/25). Resident #45's right
leg appeared swollen and was discolored. Resident #45 was administered Oxycodone (opioid for severe
pain) five milligram (mg) on 01/20/25 at 9:01 P.M. for (a pain level rating of) four out of ten (on a 0-10 pain
rating scale) pain. The pain medication was not effective. The nurse tried to get an order for an x-ray, but
Resident #45 insisted on going to the hospital.
A progress note dated 01/21/25 at 12:46 A.M. revealed Resident #45 was screaming in pain and insisted
on going to the hospital.
A nursing note dated 01/22/25 at 8:30 P.M. revealed Resident #45 returned from the hospital.
Review of the hospital discharge instructions dated 01/22/25 revealed Resident #45 had a hematoma to the
right lower leg. Resident #45 was ordered Oxycodone 10 mg every four hours as needed for severe pain for
three days. A computed tomography angiography (x-rays with contrast dye) to the right lower extremity was
completed. The assessment of the arterial vasculature was suboptimal. There was a large mixed
attenuation multiloculated hematoma in the superficial soft tissues along the medial aspect of the right mid
leg measuring approximately 3.8 centimeters (cm) by 10 cm by 20 cm. There were areas of active contrast
extravasation suggestive of active bleeding from small arterial vessels within the hematoma. There were
some foci of gas within the hematoma that was most likely posttraumatic. An infected hematoma could not
entirely be excluded. Resident #45's lower right extremity was to be wrapped tightly with an elastic bandage
for the next three to five days.
Review of the treatment administration record (TAR) for January 2025 revealed no documentation of the
elastic bandage being in place or right lower leg being monitored from 01/22/25 through 01/31/25.
On 01/23/25 a new order was received for Resident #45 for Oxycodone 10 mg every six hours as needed
for severe pain.
