F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide physician ordered care for a resident with lymphedema. This affected one of one resident reviewed for edema. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: Review of the medical record for Resident #32 revealed an admission date of 12/08/17 with diagnoses to include lower extremity cellulitis, lymphedema and major depressive disorder. Review of the physician's orders for 12/2019 revealed orders for double ace wraps to bilateral legs during the day. Review of the treatment administration record for 12/2019 revealed there were several days that were not signed by the nurses indicating the ace wraps were applied. Days that were not signed off included, 12/02/19, 12/03/19, 12/05/19, 12/15/19, 12/17/19, 12/19/19, 12/23/19, 12/25/19, 12/27/19 and 12/28/19. On 12/26/19 the nurse had signed the ace wraps were applied but observations on that date revealed the resident did not have the ace wraps on as ordered. Observation on 12/26/19 at 10:35 A.M. revealed the resident was lying in bed with the head of the bed up. Interview with the resident at the time of the observation revealed she had lymphedema to bilateral lower extremities. Her legs and feet were observed to be extremely large and edematous. She stated the nurses don't wrap them like they should. She stated they used to do it, but those nurses quit and the new nurses don't seem to have the time. She stated she needed to have her legs wrapped because it helped her to stand which enhanced her ability to do her therapy. She stated her goal was to go home and she needed therapy to accomplish this. She'd had many setbacks to this goal and became tearful stating she missed her cats. Observations on 12/27/19 between 9:00 A.M. and 4:30 A.M. revealed the resident did not have ace wraps applied to her legs. On 12/28/19 observations from 8:00 A.M. until 2:30 P.M. revealed no ace wraps were applied to the resident's legs. Staff were questioned about the ace wraps and then she was observed with ace wraps on after this time. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 12/28/19 at 2:30 P.M. confirmed the ace wraps were not signed off on the treatment administration record. She attempted to provide progress notes stating the resident was wearing the ace wraps as ordered but on further questioning she agreed the progress notes did not specifically state she was wearing the ace wraps. Interview on 12/28/19 with Licensed Practical Nurse #101 at 2:45 P.M. confirmed the resident had not been wearing the ace wraps on this date.
