The facility census was 45.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of the closed medical record for Resident #10, revealed an admission date of 02/16/24 and a discharge date of 3/11/24. Diagnoses included displaced bicondylar fracture of right tibia, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing, age related osteoporosis without current pathological fracture, and unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, with other behavioral disturbances. Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 5 out of 15 which revealed severe cognitive impairment. Resident #10 was assessed to require substantial/maximal assistance with toilet hygiene, shower/bathe, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, toilet transfer and chair/bed to chair transfer with partial/moderate assistance with sit to lying, sit to stand, and supervision for roll left to right in bed. Resident #10 was also assessed to have one fall with no injury since admission and took an antipsychotic, antianxiety and an opioid medication during the last 7 days of assessment.

Also, prop the wrist on pillows when sitting or lying down for the first few days to help reduce swelling. The resident also had a splint upon discharge with instructions to check the skin under the splint every day and do not take off the splint unless your doctor tells you to. Review of the progress notes dated 02/25/24 to 03/11/24 for Resident #10 revealed no documentation of the left wrist being iced, elevated, and the skin under the splint being checked.

Review of the physical therapy note for Resident #10 for 02/25/24 with an unknown encounter time, revealed the resident had a fall this morning resulting in swelling and bruising to the left upper wrist and the nurse reported putting in an x-ray order this morning.

The family informed this nurse that the left wrist was believed to be broken and wanted to take the resident to the emergency room for evaluation. CNP #8000 was notified, and the resident was transported to the local hospital emergency department. Review of the Fall Investigation Summary for Resident #10 dated 02/25/24 revealed the resident had pain, but no pain scale was documented, and the resident was sent to the emergency room at 2:35 P.M. Review of skilled nurses note for Resident #10 dated 02/25/24 at 2:40 P.M. authored by LPN #888 revealed the resident had pain in her right leg which was alleviated by medication.

Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 04/02/24 at 2:25 P.M. via telephone with LPN #888 about Resident #10's day of events for 02/25/24 revealed she was the nurse caring for the resident. She was informed by an aide the resident was on the floor, she assessed the resident and observed swelling to the left wrist and the resident was complaining of left wrist pain with grimacing, but no pain scale was used. The resident was assisted back to her wheelchair and taken to the recreation room that was a closed area with windows by the dining room to be observed due to being a high fall risk and she did not want to leave her in the room alone. The LPN revealed facility staff do not sit in there with the residents and the nurse's station was not in view of the room, but staff took turns checking on them. After the fall, she elevated the resident's arm on the wheelchair and applied ice to the site, called CNP #4000 and administered the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 5-325 mg (one tablet) after 8:00 A.M. and followed up with it not being effective due to the resident grimacing and not allowing her to touch the left wrist by guarding it. The LPN verified throughout the day, the resident would grimace when assessed and her left wrist then started bruising and was more swollen. No nonpharmacological pain interventions were completed such as icing or elevating due to the resident not allowing staff to touch it and would grimace and moan. She stated the resident was checked on several times throughout the day and was not able to assess the left wrist any of those times due to the guarding and grimacing. LPN #888 was unsure of what Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) checked on the resident as she was in the recreation room, and they all take turns. The LPN verified she was aware the resident was severely cognitively impaired with moments of confusion and the grimacing and not allowing the staff to touch her left wrist was an indication of pain. The LPN also verified she did not contact CNP #4000 again until 2:30 P.M. to inform her of the family's request to send the resident out to the emergency room. The LPN indicated the skilled nurse note dated 02/25/24 at 2:40 P.M. was the incorrect time and it was done sometime after 2:00 P.M. Interview on 04/02/24 at 3:10 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility nurses were educated on pain management and she was doing reeducation on pain management follow up as well as assessing pain appropriately for residents who were severely cognitively impaired. The DON stated she was aware Resident #10 also had activities in the recreation room and attended therapy for her right leg fracture but was not aware of the continued grimacing and guarding of the left wrist after the 02/25/24 fall. The DON also verified when residents were in the recreation room, all staff check on them. Interview on 04/05/24 at 2:08 P.M. via telephone with Physical Therapist (PT) #222 regarding Resident #10's session on 02/25/24 revealed the therapist did not remember Resident #10 as she was a traveling therapist between facilities. She stated she would only complete lower body exercises and would have completed those on the resident, so her upper body was not used during the session. PT #222 was able to verify the session was after 11:00 A.M. since it was signed for 4:26 P.M. but could not verify an actual time. Review of the facility policy titled Guidelines for Pain Observation and Management revised 05/23/17 revealed the observation should include self-report of pain or for those cognitively impaired and unable to self-report level of pain the observer shall observe the resident for pathological conditions that may cause pain and behavior (facial expressions, body movements, crying. Additionally, evaluate the effectiveness of pain management interventions and modify as indicated. This deficiency represents non-compliance discovered under Complaint Number OH00152040.
