This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure medications were transcribed to the resident's medical record from hospital paperwork for Resident #323 and failed to ensure medications were administered according to the physician's order for Resident #72. This affected two residents (Resident #72 and Resident #323) of seven (Resident's (#18, #42, #49, #62, #72, 173 and #323) reviewed for unnecessary medication. The facility census was 75. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #323 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her admitting diagnoses included urinary tract infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, enterocolitis due to clostridium difficile, atrial fibrillation, and secondary polycythemia. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. Functionally, she required extensive assistance of one staff for most activities of daily living including toilet use and personal hygiene. Review of the resident's admission orders to the facility from the hospital showed this resident was to receive: • Eliquis (a medication to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people who have atrial fibrillation) 2.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth twice daily • Hydroxyurea (treats cancer by stopping the growth of cancer cells) 500 mg one capsule by mouth to be given two times a day. Review of the facility's physician orders in the facility, showed Eliquis 2.5 mg to be given two times a day but the Hydroxyurea order was not listed. Review of the residents Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of May 2021 revealed the resident did receive the Eliquis as ordered but did not receive her hydroxyurea. Further review of this MAR revealed this medication was not listed on the MAR. Interview on 06/16/21 at 1:50 P.M. with the Director of Nursing and Regional Clinical Services Manager #174 verified the MAR and stated that there was no policy stating that what a nurse should do (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Phone interview with this resident's physician, Physician #180 on 06/16/21 at 3:56 P.M. revealed the resident was on Eliquis. He then stated, probably discontinued the hydroxyurea because her labs were good. Residents Affected - Few Review of the physician's orders from admission to present revealed no order verbal or written to stop the hydroxyurea. 2. Review of Resident #72's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/29/21 and diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy, diabetes, sepsis, rhabdomyolysis, chronic kidney stage four, obesity, insomnia, hypertension and depression. Review of an admission/5-day MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #72 had moderate cognitive impairment, was totally dependent for transfers, required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility and required extensive assistance of one staff for hygiene. Resident #72 was on a scheduled pain regimen, and the pain assessment in the MDS indicated Resident #72 had frequent pain and described his worst pain as severe. Review of Resident #72's physician's orders revealed an order dated 05/30/21 for hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablet 200 milligram (mg), give one tablet by mouth two times a day for pain and an order dated 06/01/21 for tramadol hydrochloride tablet 50 mg, give one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed (PRN) for pain greater than a six out of ten. Review of Resident #72's May 2021 and June 2021 MARs revealed hydroxychloroquine sulfate was not documented as administered during the rise time (7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M) on 06/04/21, 06/07/21, 06/08/21, 06/09/21 and 06/14/21. Review of the nurses' notes revealed no concerns regarding Resident #72's pain and did not show any medication refusals. Interview on 06/16/21 at 1:35 P.M. with Regional Clinical Services Manager (RCSM) #174 verified the lack of hydroxychloroquine for Resident #72 on 06/04/21, 06/07/21, 06/08/21, 06/09/21 and 06/14/21 and could not explain why these doses were not administered and/or documented.

Documentation may be completed at the time of service or during the shift in which the assessment, observation or care service occurred. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH00122894.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure infection control was maintained during the wound care observation of Resident #28. This affected one (Resident #28) of ten (Resident's #11, #13, #28, #32, #62, #66, #68, #71, #72 and #325) residents reviewed for pressure wounds who received wound care. The facility census was 76. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Record review revealed Resident #28 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including heart disease, adult failure to thrive and osteoporosis. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #28 had moderately impaired cognition. A skin grid dated 06/15/21 revealed Resident #28 developed an in-facility acquired coccyx wound that progressed to an unstageable pressure ulcer (full-thickness tissue loss that is covered by necrotic tissue). A dietary note dated 06/16/21 revealed a decline in the pressure ulcer was noted, and Resident #28 went on hospice services. Observation on 06/15/21 at 3:50 P.M. of the dressing change on Resident #28 by Registered Nurse (RN) #148 revealed supplies were gathered (except for the foam outer dressing) and placed on a barrier on the bedside table. The table was not disinfected prior to or after the dressing change. RN #148 washed her hands, applied gloves and cleansed the wound. RN #148 the was given a foam outer dressing from Resident #28's top dresser drawer by State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #171 and opened it. RN #148 then dug in her scrub shirt pocket and pulled out a black marker and initialed and dated the foam dressing then laid it on the bedside table. RN #148 then picked up the medication cup of Santyl medicated ointment (removes dead tissue from wounds), swirled her index finger in the cup, gathering all the medication on her gloved finger and applied it to a piece of calcium alginate (highly absorbent dressing). RN #148 was in motion to place it on the cleansed wound bed when this surveyor stopped her. Interview with RN #148 on 06/15/21 at 3:55 P.M. verified she broke infection control by reaching for a permanent marker from her scrub shirt pocket, opening the foam dressing package that was handed to her by STNA #171 who retrieved it from Resident #28 dresser drawer, wrote on the foam dressing then did not wash her hands or change gloves before continuing with the dressing change.
