Interview on 04/28/25 with ADON #124 at 12:24 P.M. revealed the pressure ulcer could have originally developed from resident not being turned. Review of the facility policy titled, Pressure, Stasis, Arterial, Diabetic Wound Guidelines, dated 05/17/17 revealed the purpose of the policy was to provide weekly documentation guidelines of wound measurements and condition. If skin alteration is noted upon admission, the admitting nurse should compete progress note assessment. The IDT should review this timely and wound nurse or designee compete an assessment in wound management or wound zoom. Document description of wound using length, width, depth, exudates, color, odor, wound margins, surrounding tissue and tunneling and/or undermining if applicable. Re-assessment/measurement weekly or with significant change in wound noting the current treatment, medical interventions provided and comments as needed in progress notes and wound management or with a follow up encounter weekly in wound zoom.
Based on medical record review, interviews and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure two resident's (#12 and #147) pressure ulcers were comprehensively assessed on admission and weekly thereafter. Additionally, the facility failed to implement interventions to prevent the development of a pressure ulcer for one resident (#42). This affected three residents (#12, #42 and #147) of six residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 44.

Actual harm occurred beginning on 08/29/24 when the facility failed to implement services to address limitations in functional ability for Resident #32, who was cognitively impaired and dependent on staff for activity of daily living care to prevent additional deterioration and/or to prevent pain (as evidenced during observation on 04/24/25) following the resident's discharge from therapy services. The resident's plan of care failed to address range of motion limitations identified by occupational therapy (OT), risk for development/deterioration of contractures and/or an individualized range of motion program for the resident's limitations in range of motion. This affected two residents (#27 and #32) of two residents reviewed for range of motion (ROM). The facility census was 44.
Findings Include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #32 revealed an initial admission date of 06/06/24 with the latest readmission of 12/06/24 with diagnoses including history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) with residual deficits including dysphagia and hemiplegia, metabolic encephalopathy, urinary tract infection, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, bibasilar pneumonia, sepsis, myalgia, constipation, dysphagia, adult failure to thrive, duodenitis, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, hypertension, depression, severe protein calorie malnutrition, anemia and hyperlipidemia. Review of the resident's admission assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident had no contractures upon admission to the facility. Review of the resident's Occupational Therapy (OT) evaluation dated 06/10/24 revealed Resident #32's range of motion to his left wrist had 20-degree flexion and 40-degree extension on admission to the facility. The assessment indicated the resident had no functional limitations due to contractures as of this time. Review of the plan of care for Resident #32 revealed the plan of care did not include the resident's range of motion limitations identified by OT, risk for development of contractures and/or an individualized range of motion program for the resident's limitations in range of motion. Review of the resident's comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was dependent on staff for activities of daily living and had moderate cognitive deficit. The MDS assessment identified no functional limitations in range of motion. Review of the OT Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed OT services were discontinued due to the resident being discharged to the hospital. Review of the OT evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 07/07/24 revealed the resident's left wrist had functional limitations at 20-degree flexion and 40- degree extension on re-admission to the

Residents Affected - Few Review of the OT evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 07/24/24 revealed the resident's left upper extremity had impaired range of motion to the elbow, wrist, thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. The resident's range of motion had declined to the resident's left wrist to 40 degrees flexion and zero degrees extension. Review of the resident's five-day MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had impaired functional limitations to both upper extremities. Review of the plan of care for Resident #32 revealed the plan of care did not include the resident's range of motion limitations identified by OT, risk for development of contractures and/or an individualized range of motion program for the resident's limitations in range of motion. Review of the venous doppler scan results dated 08/26/24 revealed no evidence of occlusive deep vein thrombosis in the left upper extremity based on available images. Review of Resident #32's OT Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed the resident had a noted decline and the resident's left arm was found to be swollen and warm to touch with mild pain. The physician was contacted and a new order for a venous doppler had been obtained. The OT summary indicated discharge recommendations to encourage to be up daily for quality of life, monitor skin due to dependent positioning in bed and positioning for left upper extremity pain. However, a restorative program or maintenance program was not recommended upon discharge. Review of the medical record from 08/29/24 to 04/28/25 revealed no documented evidence the facility implemented comprehensive or individualized interventions, including range of motion to address Resident #32's identified functional limitations with range of motion and/or to prevent further limitations to the resident's left elbow, wrist and fingers. Review of the resident's monthly physician orders for April 2025 revealed an order for a Lidocaine adhesive patch 4% with the special instructions to apply one patch topically in the morning and remove in the evening, however the physician's order did not specify where to apply the patch. On 04/21/25 at 12:07 P.M., an observation of Resident #32 revealed he was in bed with his elbow resting on a large heart shaped pillow at his side. The resident's forearm was observed to be extending up towards the ceiling in a fixed position with the wrist bent at a fixed 90-degree angle without support of a device. The resident's wrist was fixed palm up towards the ceiling with his middle finger, ring finger and little finger curled inward towards the palm of his hand without support of a device. A white Lidocaine patch was observed to his wrist and back of the hand. On 04/21/25 at 12:07 P.M., an interview with the resident's spouse revealed the resident's arm was fixed in the position with his forearm extending up towards the ceiling in a fixed position with the wrist bent at a fixed 90-degree angle without support of a device.

On 04/24/25 at 10:47 A.M., an interview with Occupational Therapist (OT) #333 revealed she first saw Resident #32 on 06/10/24 and at that time the resident had impairment to both wrists, shoulders and elbows. She said the last time she saw the resident was on 08/29/24. OT #333 revealed she would have to review her notes to see if the resident's level of impairment had changed or to see if he was impaired to the degree displayed currently. On 04/24/25 at 10:58 A.M., observation of the resident's left wrist with OT #333 revealed the resident's wrist was stiff. OT #333 revealed the impairment definitely was not like that in August 2024 when he was released from therapy. OT #333 attempted to try to complete range of motion to the left wrist. The resident was observed moaning out (in pain) when the OT attempted to complete range of motion to the left wrist. On 04/24/25 at 1:29 P.M., an interview with Therapy Director #336 confirmed the resident had not been screened by OT since he was discharged from therapy on 08/27/24 and the director stated the resident would not be screened unless a change had been reported. Therapy Director #333 revealed the functional limitations to the resident's left elbow, left wrist and left fingers had not been reported by the nursing staff. However, based on the onsite investigation and information provided as part of the survey, Resident #32's condition at the time of admission, dependence on staff for care and cognitive limitation placed him at increased risk for a decline in functional mobility, risk for impaired skin integrity and/or increased pain due to contractures warranting a comprehensive and individualized plan of care utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to ensure the resident maintained his highest level of well-being. A physician note, dated 04/27/25 sent as an email revealed Resident #32 was admitted to the facility with multiple comorbid conditions including Alzheimer's Dementia, adult failure to thrive, history of CVA with residual deficits including dysphagia and hemiplegia, chronic debility and ambulatory dysfunction. The note included the resident's functional status on admission was extremely low, requiring total/full care and the resident received enteral (tube) feedings due to chronic dysphagia. The physician included the resident's chronic dementia and significant physical limitations precluded him from being able to participate in or make any functional improvement and he was unable to conceptualize the clinical issues facing him due to his cognitive impairments. Review of this physician note validated the need for timely identification as well as comprehensive, individualized and effective interventions to address the resident's functional limitations. On 04/28/25 at 2:35 P.M. an interview with the Administrator revealed the facility did not have a policy regarding ROM or therapy services. 2. Medical record review revealed Resident #27 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including anxiety disorder, depression, psychotic disorder with delusions, contractures and cerebellar stroke. Review of the Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 02/03/23 revealed the resident was referred to OT due to a decline in the upper extremity range of motion (ROM) and need for contracture prevention. The resident's bilateral upper extremity ROM was impaired with functional limitations present due to contracture and declining in independence with hygiene ADL's. OT to address contracture impairment and further assess and order/fabricate an orthotic device. The focus of plan of treatment was restoration, compensation and adaptation.

Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #27 was cognitively intact for daily decision making, was dependent on staff for functional abilities including showering/bathing, had one side functional limitations of the upper and lower extremities and was not receiving any specialized therapies or restorative nursing programs. Review of the OT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 04/21/25 revealed the resident was referred to OT due to the resident having received a new power wheelchair that he wanted to use within the facility which prompted the evaluation. The last time the resident was receiving therapy was in February 2023. Review of the medical record revealed no interventions, range of motion programs or care plan to address Resident #27's upper extremity contractures or functional limitations. On 04/23/25 at 2:25 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #250 revealed she was Resident #27's nurse and verified the resident had contractures of his hands and right elbow. LPN #250 stated the resident does not wear any splints and nursing does not provide any interventions that she was aware of for his upper extremities. LPN #250 stated she would have to ask therapy if he was receiving therapy services. LPN #250 stated the resident does wear specialty boots on both his feet for foot drop but that was all she was aware of. On 04/23/25 at 3:41 P.M., an interview with Resident #27 revealed he was dependent on staff for all care due to his hands/fingers and right elbow being unable to bend and being stiff. Resident #27 was observed to be unable to bend his fingers or [NAME] a fist with either hand, was unable to extend his right arm much farther than 90 degrees and was unable to raise his right arm above his shoulder. On 04/24/25 at 4:00 P.M., an interview with OT #333 revealed the resident would have to have the joystick moved to the other side of the power wheelchair due to his hand contracture. OT #333 stated the resident had not complained or requested therapy services until now, if he had reported changes in ROM, they would have screened/evaluated him to see if therapy services were needed. Review of the OT Treatment Encounter Note dated 04/28/25 revealed the resident stated he did not think there was anything they could do for his upper extremity limitation, he tried on own but could only go so far. The note indicated Resident #27 did not identify new limitations, problems or worsening limitations that OT should know about. The resident stated he did not think his elbow had gotten worse, but he could not straighten it and hadn't been able to for two to three years. Resident #27 was missing 65 degrees from full extension and had no digit flexion. The resident's left elbow was lacking 32 degrees extension but was functional. Barriers included limited movements of upper/lower extremities and pain. At the end of the session the resident asked if there was anything that could be done for his fingers as he could bend the right fingers at all and could only do partial grip/digit flexion with left hand.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, infection control log review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to administer antibiotics as ordered. This affected one resident (#27) of five residents sampled for unnecessary medications. The census was 44.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #27 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including anxiety disorder, depression, psychotic disorder with delusions, contractures and cerebellar stroke. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #27 was cognitively intact for daily-decision making. Review of the Nurse Practitioner Progress Note Details dated 03/04/25 revealed Resident #27 was seen for evaluation of some right lower extremity (RLE) edema and mild pain. The assessment and plan revealed very mild cellulitis of the right lower extremity but the resident was insistent on the fact that his RLE was more painful and swollen, as well as, some mild erythema. Will start Resident #27 on a short course of cephalexin, continue supportive care and notify with any other issues or concerns. Review of the electronic Physician Orders dated 03/04/25 revealed to administer Cephalexin (antibiotic) 500 milligrams (mg) three times a day. Review of the electronic Medication Administration Record dated March 2025 revealed cephalexin 500 (mg) was administered between 03/05/25 and 03/10/25 for a total 18 doses instead of 15 doses. Review of the Infection Control Criteria evaluation dated 03/05/25 to 03/10/25 revealed Resident #27 met the infection criteria to be treated with cephalexin. There was no evidence the facility identified during the review of the antibiotic use that Resident #27 had received three additional doses of cephalexin. On 04/24/25 at 11:25 A.M., interview with Regional Nurse #332 verified Resident #27 received three additional doses of cephalexin than what was ordered to treat cellulitis. Review of the policy: Antibiotic Stewardship revised 12/16/24 revealed the purpose was to optimize the treatment of infections by ensuring that residents who require an antibiotic were prescribed the appropriate antibiotic and reduce the risk of adverse events, including the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms, from unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use. Encompass a facility-wide system to monitor the use of antibiotics.
