Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on record review, observation, resident and staff interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility
failed to ensure a dignified dining experience for residents. This affected one (#35) of three residents
reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 105.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #35 revealed an admission date of 07/22/21 with diagnoses
including multiple sclerosis and dementia without behavioral disturbance.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident #35 dated 03/13/23 revealed the resident was
cognitively intact and required supervision with activities of daily living (ADL's).

resident to receive insulin at meals based on a sliding scale.
Observation on 04/04/23 at 8:22 A.M. revealed Resident #35 was seated directly across the table from
Resident #38 and both residents were eating breakfast. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #875 told Resident
#38 she needed to check her blood sugar to determine if resident needed insulin per the sliding scale
order. Resident #38 consented to have her blood sugar taken at the breakfast table. LPN #875 did not
obtain consent from Resident #35 who was eating at the same table and was at a distance of
approximately three feet from Resident #38. Resident #38 placed her right hand on the breakfast table and
the nurse stuck her middle finger with a lancet which produced a large drop of blood which nurse pulled into
the glucometer and got a reading of 119. Resident #35 gasped when she saw the blood and said it hurt her
just to see that, and she was glad she didn't have to get stuck with a needle. LPN #875 cleaned Resident
#38's finger off and left the table.
Interview on 04/04/23 at 8:40 A.M. with LPN #875 confirmed she obtained consent from Resident #38 to
have her blood sugar taken at the table but she had not asked Resident #35, resident's tablemate how she

respond to phone calls including requests to access the resident/facility after hours in a timely manner.
Observation on 04/05/23 at 5:46 A.M. revealed the front entrance to the facility was locked and there was a
typed sign posted on the door which indicated the door was locked from 8:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M. and to gain
entrance to the facility the visitor had to call and request entrance. There were two local phone numbers
posted. One was the main number for the facility, and the other number was for a call phone. Surveyor

Interview on 04/05/23 at 6:03 A.M. with STNA #495 confirmed the cell phone number posted on the front
door was for the supervisor's cell phone and there was no nursing supervisor on duty at the moment.
Interview on 04/05/23 at 1:30 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed representatives of the State and
resident representatives should be permitted immediate access to the residents. Administrator apologized
for the delay the Surveyor experienced in gaining entry to the facility. Administrator confirmed they kept the
building locked from 8:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M. for security reasons and provided the main number so visitors
could call to request access and the supervisor's cell phone number was also provided as a backup option.

Review of the November 2022 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for Resident #106 revealed the TAR
did not include nonpharmacological interventions for pain.
Review of the nurse progress note for Resident #106 dated 11/29/22 timed at 12:49 P.M. revealed the nurse
verified the admitting orders with the attending physician with no changes from the hospital continuity of
care form. Orders were faxed to pharmacy at this time. There was no documentation in the nurses' notes of
nonpharmacological interventions for pain.
Interview on 04/05/23 at 8:00 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #500 confirmed she was the admitting
nurse when Resident #106 arrived to the facility from the hospital following a right total knee replacement
on 11/29/22 at approximately 11:53 A.M. RN #500 confirmed she assessed resident's pain to her right knee
immediately upon resident's arrival to the facility, and resident reported her pain was eight on a scale of one
to 10. RN #500 confirmed the facility called the doctor to verify resident's admitting orders but did not report
the high pain level to the doctor and/or request additional options for pain management. RN #500 confirmed
there was a delay in being able to pull oxycodone from the emergency supply because they had to wait
until the pharmacy gave the authorization to pull the medication. RN #500 confirmed Resident #106
received oxycodone at 3:25 P.M. but did not receive anything else for pain sooner, including
non-pharmacological interventions, because nothing else was ordered.
Interview on 04/05/23 at 1:18 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed the facility did not have a pain
management policy, and the facility assessed residents for pain on a daily basis and managed pain based
on input from the attending physician and based on physician orders.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00141072.

resident dated 04/03/23 which had not been addressed. Physician gave an order for a stat PT/INR and to
hold Coumadin until results are received. Physician also noted if nurses are unable to reach the nurse
practitioner (NP) they should call the attending physician or the facility medical director.
Review of nurse progress note for Resident #36 dated 04/05/23 timed at 6:25 P.M. revealed the nurse was
contacted by lab that blood that was drawn today for PT/INR was hemolyzed. Nurse contacted NP #885
and she gave an order to redraw blood in the morning on 04/06/23.
Review of the nurse progress note for Resident #36 dated 04/06/23 timed at 9:37 A.M. revealed lab had not
come out yet to draw blood for PT/INR for resident.
Interview on 04/05/23 at 12:35 P.M. with CN #880 confirmed Resident #36 should have had a PT/INR
drawn on 03/06/23 per physician's routine order but this did not occur due to an oversight/error. CN #880
confirmed PT/INR drawn on 04/03/23 for Resident #36 was high with an INR at 3.2. CN #880 confirmed
there was no documentation of physician notification of the abnormal lab results. CN #880 confirmed
Resident #36's April 2023 MAR indicates Coumadin was administered at 9:00 P.M. on 04/04/23 and the
INR recorded at the time of administration was 2.3 which was the INR result from 03/20/23, not 04/03/23.
Interview on 04/05/23 at 1:16 P.M. with CN #880 confirmed she notified the attending physician of Resident
#36's high INR result on 04/03/23. CN #880 confirmed she notified the physician that agency LPN #890
administered seven mg of Coumadin to resident at 9:00 P.M. on 04/03/23. Physician gave order for the
resident to have a stat PT/INR drawn and to hold Coumadin until results were received. Physician said if NP
did not respond, staff should call him or the facility Medical Director. CN #880 confirmed she spoke with the
nurse supervisor on 04/03/23, LPN #800 who confirmed she had faxed the high PT/INR results to NP #885
three times on 04/03/23 but did not receive a response.
Interview on 04/06/23 at 12:43 P.M. with LPN #800 confirmed she faxed the high PT/INR results to NP #885
three times on 04/03/23 between 5:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. but she did not get a response. LPN #800
confirmed she did not document the high INR in Resident #36's record until 04/05/23. LPN #800 confirmed
she verbally told the agency nurse to wait to give the Coumadin until they heard back from the doctor, but
she did not document any of this.
Review of the facility policy titled Coumadin Administration dated 01/26/21 revealed Coumadin will be
administered by licensed nurses and laboratory monitoring will be completed and dosage adjustments will
be made according to physician's order.
Review of online resource Medscape at
https://reference.medscape.com/drug/coumadin-jantoven-warfarin-342182#5 revealed Coumadin had a
black box warning, because the medication could cause major or fatal bleeding particularly with a higher
dose resulting in a higher INR. Risk factors for bleeding include high intensity of anticoagulation (INR
greater than four), age [AGE] years or older, highly variable INR's, history of gastrointestinal bleeding,
hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, serious heart disease, anemia, malignancy, trauma, renal
insufficiency, concomitant drugs, and long duration of Coumadin therapy. Regular monitoring of INR should
be performed on all treated patients, and those at high risk of bleeding may benefit from more frequent INR
monitoring. Careful dose adjustment to desired INR's should be made. Patients should be instructed about
prevention measures to minimize the risk of bleeding and to immediately report any signs or symptoms of
bleeding to their physician.
