meals.
Review of the behavior note dated 07/21/19 revealed the resident told the nurse if he did not get regular
silverware back they would be picking him off the floor.

because he threatened to stab another resident with a knife awhile ago because the resident stole a bag of
potato chips from him. He stated he was not going to do it, he was just mad, but no one had talked to him
again about it. They just took away regular dinner and silver ware.

for injuries of unknown origin for Resident #41. This affected one (Resident #41) of two residents reviewed
for abuse.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident #41 was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Alzheimer's disease, age related physical debility, chronic pain, lack of coordination, major depressive
disorder, restlessness and agitation, and anxiety disorder.
Resident #41's active comprehensive care plan for activities of daily living (ADL) revealed a self-care deficit
due to impaired cognition, she was known to become combative during ADL care, and will strike out and
become verbally aggressive. Care planned interventions included giving the resident space when she
became combative and re-approach when appropriate and safe.
Resident #41's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed her cognition was
severely impaired, she had hallucination and delusions, had physical and verbal behavior directed towards
others, and required two person extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, and toileting.
1. Review of Resident #41's Health Status Note on 01/06/19 at 11:29 A.M., authored by Registered Nurse
(RN) #51, revealed the nurse noticed a bruise on the top of the resident's left hand, about softball-sized.
Review of the facility incident report for Resident #41's injury on 01/06/19, revealed witness statements
were obtained. RN #49 indicated Resident #41's hand was not reddened when she passed medication at
5:30 A.M.
STNA #10's and STNA #5's handwritten witness statements confirmed Resident #41's left hand injury was
reported at shift change at 6:00 A.M.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Resident #41's Health Status Note dated 08/29/19 at 7:08 P.M. revealed Hospice was called and made
aware of the daughter's request for an X-ray of the resident's right thumb
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the facility history of incident reports for Resident #41 revealed no incident report was completed
for Resident #41's injury to her right hand, and no evidence was found the right-hand injury was
investigated.
Observation on 09/04/19 at 3:00 P.M. of Resident #41 revealed a purplish discoloration of her right hand
and thumb area. Interview with a family member revealed on 08/29/19 she discovered Resident #41's right
hand was swollen and the resident stated her hand hurt. The family member asked LPN #4 about the
resident's hand, and LPN #4 indicated the resident complained about her hand earlier but she did not see
anything. The Family member said an X-ray was done that showed tissue damage, but no fracture
Interview on 09/05/19 at 10:27 A.M. with RN #8 (acting DON) confirmed the facility did not complete an
incident report and did not investigate Resident #41's right hand injury on 08/29/19. RN #8 revealed they
thought the injury probably happened when the resident hit her right hand on a sit to stand lift during
toileting but confirmed there were no witness statements obtained and no investigation was completed.
Review of the facility policy, titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation of Resident Property,
revised 11/28/16, revealed once the Director of Nursing and/or Administrator are notified, an investigation
of the allegation violation will be conducted. The person investigating the incident should interview all
witnesses. Witnesses generally include anyone who came in close contact with the resident the day of the
incident, including other residents, family members, and employees. For injuries of unknown source, the
investigation may generally involve talking with both the shift on duty when the injury was discovered and
prior shifts as well. The investigation should be documented.

worsened. The wound bed was covered with 50% slough (white/yellow dead tissue that adheres to the ulcer
bed). The treatment was changed to Calcium Alginate (AG) (debriding and fluid absorbing dressing). There
was no evidence the area was identified and staged as a pressure ulcer.
-08/26/19 The MASD area was changed to a stage II pressure ulcer (partial thickness loss of the dermis
without slough) measuring 1.1 cm by 1.0 cm by 0.1 cm area. The wound bed was covered with 20% slough.
Calcium AG was continued to treat the area.
-09/02/19 The area was a Stage II pressure ulcer measuring 1.0 cm by 0.8 cm by 0.1 cm. Calcium AG was

were inaccurate. She confirmed the assessment completed on 08/19/19 should have identified the area
was a pressure ulcer and no longer MASD. The assessment completed on 08/26/19 indicated the area was
a stage II pressure ulcer with slough present. RN #8 confirmed by definition a stage II pressure ulcer would
not have slough. The assessment dated [DATE] continued to indicate a stage II pressure ulcer with slough.
RN #8 confirmed there was no documented evidence that treatments were administered to the left buttock's
skin/pressure ulcer from 08/07/19 to 08/20/19 and she provided education to the nurse that performed the
dressing change on 09/04/19 that did not apply the Calcium AG to the wound per orders.
4. Review of Resident #33's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 dated 08/15/19 revealed the resident
had one or more unhealed pressure ulcers and had one stage II pressure.
Review of Resident #33's plan of care revealed no evidence of a plan of care for pressure ulcers.
Interview on 09/06/19 at 10:56 A.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #44 confirmed the MDS dated
[DATE] was inaccurate due to the resident did not have pressure during the seven day look back period and
he did not have a pressure ulcer plan of care.
Review of the pressure treatment policy dated 09/13 revealed a stage II pressure ulcer was partial
thickness loss of the dermis without slough. Cleanse the wound with ordered cleanser and apply the
dressing and secure the dressing per orders.

09/04/19 at 1:22 P.M., and on 09/05/19 at 11:14 P.M., revealed the resident had her legs drawn up into her
abdominal/pelvic area and her head was tilted to the right. The resident had a neck pillow in place, however,
it was not correctly applied around the base of the neck. There was no evidence of splints to the lower
extremities.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident #3's active care plan revealed to perform active range of motion (AROM) and passive
range of motion (PROM) to contracted joints as indicated and/or ordered. Observe the resident's response
to range of motion exercise and pain tolerance. If the resident complains of pain, stop ROM exercise and
reattempt at a later time.
Review of Resident #3's nurse aide documentation under the task tab revealed no evidence AROM/PROM
was being performed.
Review of the restorative book revealed no evidence the resident was receiving restorative ROM.
Review of Resident #3's physical therapy discharge note dated 05/16/19 revealed the resident was to have
bilateral knee neuro extension braces and a restorative nursing program. Nursing staff educated on gentle
motion and stretches and on positioning techniques.
Review of Resident #3's MDS 3.0 dated 08/27/19 revealed the resident did not receive restorative services
and had limited ROM of both lower extremities.
Interview on 09/04/19 at 3:08 P.M. and 09/05/19 at 1:22 P.M., with RN #8 revealed she was responsible for
the restorative nursing program and knew there were problems with the program. She confirmed Resident
#3 was not on a restorative program nor was there evidence the resident was provided AROM or PROM
per the plan of care. She reported she would write an order and implement a ROM program for the
resident. She also reported if there was no order it would not transfer over to the nurse aide task tab to alert
them to perform range of motion task. RN #8 was not aware of any braces to the knees for Resident #3.
Interview on 09/05/19 at 10:35 AM with COTA #56 who was the therapy manager Resident #3 was seen by
physical therapy from 05/06/19 to 05/21/19 for contracture management and improved positioning. The
therapist discharge recommendation was for bilateral knee neruo extension braces and restorative nursing
program. The braces were originally denied by insurance on 06/27/19 due to the brace company not being
an approved provider. COTA #56 reported she started on 08/19/19 and found the denial letter laying on her
desk. She followed up with the insurance provider on 08/20/19 because in the first paragraph of the denial
letter it said the company was not a provider, however in the second paragraph it listed the company as one
of the three approved providers. The braces were still at the facility, but she could not issue the braces to
the resident because they were not paid for. The resident was screened yesterday (after concerns were
brought to the facility's attention) by OT for new onset of decreased postural alignment, decreased skin
integrity, joint instability, decreased neuromotor control and reduced functional activity tolerance indicating
the need for a RNP (restorative nursing program). The resident demonstrated a new cervical contracture
and her head was tilting to one side. There was no evidence the lower extremities were evaluated to ensure
there was no decline in her lower extremity contractures. She would complete a physical therapy screen for
the resident today.
Observation of Resident #3 on 09/05/19 at 11:14 A.M., and interview with STNA #19 revealed the
resident's knees had been contracted for some time and even when she was in bed her legs were drawn up

On 09/03/19 at 6:25 P.M., interview with STNAs #5 and #29 verified they should have locked the wheels of
the wheelchair, should have had non skid footwear on and should have used a gait belt but did not. STNA
#5 verified the resident was not able to bear any weight when transferred and due to contractures the right
foot always crossed over the left foot. The resident could not assist in the pivot transfers.
Residents Affected - Some
On 09/05/19 at 4:05 P.M., interview with RN #53 verified the facility did not have a policy related to pivot
transfers but the expectation was for staff to lock the wheels of the wheelchair, use a gait belt and ensure
the resident wore non skid footwear. RN #53 reported the STNAs participated in competency training to
ensure proper transfers but she was not able to locate any documented evidence of such for STNA #5 or
#29.
Based on record review, observation, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure fall
interventions were in-place per plan of care, fall care plans were revised, residents were transferred
properly, and resident smoking was supervised. This affected two (Resident #29 and #31) of two residents
reviewed for falls and 10 (Residents #12, #19, #8, #26, #342, #30, #15, #18, #6 and #34) of 11 residents
identified by the facility as smokers. The facility census was 42.
Findings include:
1. Record review revealed Resident #31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
fracture of the neck of the left femur, history of transient ischemic attack, lack of coordination, difficulty in
walking, muscle weakness, osteoarthritis of the knee, right leg pain, abnormalities of gait and mobility,
contractures of the right ankle and left knee, syncope and collapse, and a history of falls.
Review of Resident #31's fall plan of care revealed a self-releasing seat belt to the chair/wheelchair for
safety, keep the bed in low position, keep the call light in reach, and assist the resident with wearing proper
footwear. There was no evidence of anti-tippers to the wheelchair.
Observation of Resident #31 on 09/03/19 at 2:44 P.M., revealed the resident was resting in bed. Interview
revealed the resident was slightly confused and he reported he fallen recently fracturing his leg and hip.
The resident had plain white socks on at the time of the observation. There was no evidence of a
self-releasing seat belt to chair/wheelchair. There were anti-tippers on his wheelchair.
Observation on 09/04/19 at 12:39 PM with Registered Nurse (RN) #53 confirmed the resident was wearing
plain white socks instead of gripper (non-slip) socks. Resident #31 indicated he had several pairs in his
drawer. RN #53 applied the gripper socks. RN #53 confirmed the resident's bed was not in low position and,
there was no self-releasing seat belt, but there were antitippers on the wheelchair.
Interview on 09/04/19 at 2:17 P.M., with RN #54 verified the resident's fall plan of care was not revised to
reflect current fall interventions. The low bed and self-releasing seat belt were discontinued, and the
anti-tippers should be added to the plan of care.
Review of the fall and fall risk policy dated 03/18 revealed the staff would implement a resident-centered fall
prevention plan of care to reduce risk factor of falls for each resident at risk or

dining room because he did not like ham.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 09/03/19 at 9:55 A.M., interview with the resident revealed he did not like having to eat off of plastic
ware for meals and did not know why he had to. The resident indicated he ate most of his meals in his room
but denied throwing things.
Residents Affected - Few
On 09/03/19 at 12:10 P.M., the resident was observed eating in his room with plastic ware.
On 09/04/19 at 2:15 P.M., interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #8 revealed the resident ate most of his
meals in his room or in the breezeway. She verified the resident threw silverware during a meal on 05/19/19
and after that he was not permitted to have regular silverware. RN #8 verified the resident had not thrown
any of the plastic silver ware since ordered on 05/20/19 but there had not been any attempts to re-introduce
the regular dinner ware to the resident. The resident continued to eat off of plastic dinner ware despite the
resident not liking it. RN #8 verified there was no evidence the facility attempted to figure out the root cause
of the resident throwing things nor was there any evidence of interventions to attempt to control the
behavior except for removing the regular dinner ware. RN #8 stated the resident threw a wash cloth and
Styrofoam cup into the hall from his room but they did not attempt to figure out why.
On 09/05/19 at 9:30 A.M., interview Physician #60 revealed he was aware of the resident's behaviors of
throwing things into the hall and being mean to staff. He stated the resident had periodic behaviors of
isolating himself in his room. He was aware the psychiatric nurse practitioner started the resident on a
mood stabilizer but he had not communicated with her nor was he aware of any non-pharmalogical
behavior modifications plan in place for the resident.
On 09/05/19 at 10:45 A.M., interview with RN #34 revealed back in May 2019 the resident threw his
silverware in the dinning room but she did not believe he threw them at anyone specific. She verified it had
not happened again but there was no evidence of discussion of allowing the resident to resume eating off
of regular dinner ware. She verified the resident usually ate his meals in his room.
On 09/05/19 at 1:00 P.M., phone interview with Clinical Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #61 revealed she was
provided a resident list on each of her visits to see any residents with any concerns. She verified she
initiated a mood stabilizer for the resident in May 2019 because the staff stated he was mean and rude to
them. She verified she had not seen the resident since despite starting a new medication but would expect
the medication would calm his mood and behaviors.

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview the facility failed to ensure residents received the lowest effective dose of
psychotropic/sedative medication to prevent sedation/lethargy. This affected one (Resident #3) of six
reviewed for unnecessary medications.
Findings include:
Record review revealed Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
dysphagia, constipation, parkinsonism, Alzheimer's, bipolar, schizophrenia, adult failure to thrive, moderate
protein-calorie malnutrition, and anemia. There was no evidence of a signed or dated physician note from
01/2019 to 09/2019. The nurse documented the physician had seen the resident on 01/03/19 and 08/08/19.
There was no evidence the physician had visited the resident every 60 days.
Review of Resident #3's current medication list revealed the resident was receiving the following scheduled
medication that could induce sedation/lethargy; Melatonin 9 milligrams (mg) at bedtime for insomnia,
Compazine (antipsychotic/antiemetic) 5 mg before meals for nausea and vomiting, Remeron
(antidepressant) 15 mg at bedtime, Haldol (antipsychotic) 5 mg twice daily, Seroquel (antipsychotic) 200
mg twice daily, Baclofen (muscle relaxer) 10 mg three times daily, and Vistaril 25 mg three times daily for
anxiety.
Review of the pharmacy recommendations dated 01/09/19 and 07/11/19 revealed the pharmacist made
recommendations for gradual dose reduction (GDR) for Seroquel and Remeron (the resident had been on
each for over a year) and on 06/25/19 and 07/11/19 for Haldol and Compazine. The psychiatric nurse
practitioner declined the above recommendation; however, she did not include resident specific rational for
declining the GDR. There was no documented evidence the physician had reviewed the pharmacist
recommendation. There was no documented evidence of GDR in the last year for the Seroquel and
Remeron.
Observation on 09/03/19 from 10:44 A.M. to 3:01 P.M., revealed the resident was lethargic and hard to
arouse. During lunch staff had to shake resident to get her to respond to assist her with her lunch meal.
Additional observation throughout the day on 09/04/19 and 09/05/19 revealed the resident was either
asleep in the hallway by nurses' station in her chair or was in her room asleep.
Interview on 09/06/19 at 9:42 A.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #8 confirmed the resident was receiving
several medications that could cause sedation/lethargy. The RN verified the resident had been very
lethargic lately and she had notified the physician last night after the surveyor reported concerns to the
corporate nurse. The physician reviewed the resident's medication and he\discontinued the scheduled
Compazine and started Zofran as needed, discontinued the scheduled Vistaril, decreased the Melatonin to
6 mg, and decreased the Haldol to 2.5 mg in the morning and 5 mg at night. RN #8 verified the lack of
evidence for GDR for Remeron and Seroquel and/or rational for declining.

07/31/19.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident #33 pharmacy recommendation dated 04/18/19 revealed the pharmacist made a
recommendation to order a lipid panel and hemoglobin A1C to monitor antipsychotic therapy. The physician

same request as 04/18/19. The physician responded the consultant needed to review labs before making
monthly recommendations. On 06/13/19 the pharmacist reported the hemoglobin A1C was obtained,
however, the lipid panel was not drawn per orders on 04/18/19. The physician did not address the
recommendation on 06/13/19. On 08/27/19 the pharmacist made the same recommendation as 06/13/19
regarding the lipid panel.
