Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of clinical records and Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care), and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that MDS assessments accurately reflected the status of five of 24 residents reviewed (Residents R94, R30, R105, R70, and R42).Findings include: MDS instructions for section J Health Conditions, Subsection J1800 Any Falls Since Admission/Entry or Reentry or Prior Assessment indicated Has the resident had any falls since admission/entry or reentry or the prior assessment whichever is more recent? MDS instructions for section K0300 indicated that if weight loss of five percent or more in the last month or loss of 10 percent or more in the last six months to code yes. The MDS instructions further indicated to calculate 10 % weight loss in 180 days, start with the resident's weight closest to 180 days ago. MDS instructions for section PO200 revealed to identify all alarms that were used at any time (day or night) during the seven-day look-back period and to code the frequency of use as not used, used less than daily or used daily. The MDS instructions further indicated that a bed alarm includes devices such as a sensor pad placed on the bed or a device that clips to the resident's clothing. The MDS instructions further indicated that a chair alarm includes devices such as a sensor pad placed on the chair or wheelchair or a device that clips to the resident's clothing. MDS instructions for section N Medications, subsection N0350A Insulin Injections - Record the number of days that insulin injections were received during the last 7 days or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days. MDS instructions for section N Medications, subsection N0350B Orders for Insulin - Record the number of days the physician (or authorized assistant or practitioner) changed the resident's insulin orders during the last 7 days or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days. MDS instructions for section N Medications, subsection N0415E1 High-Risk Drug Classes: Use and Indication Anticoagulant - check if the resident is taking any medications by pharmacological classifications, not how it is used, during the last 7 days or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days. Resident R94's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/08/25, with diagnoses that included displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the femur (fractured hip), high blood pressure, and history of falling. Resident R94's discharge MDS with an Assessment Reference Date (ARDa look back period of time for the MDS assessment) of 12/19/25, revealed section J1800 Has the resident had any falls since admission/entry or reentry or the prior assessment, whichever is more recent? was coded as 0. No Resident R94's clinical record progress note dated 12/19/25, revealed that Resident R94 was found on floor and complaining of left hip and groin pain, orders obtained to send resident to ER for evaluation. Progress note dated 12/20/25, revealed Resident R94 was admitted with fractured femur under the hardware from previous fracture. During an interview on 1/29/26, at 1:00 p.m. Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) Employee E1 confirmed that Resident R94's 12/19/25, MDS was coded inaccurately regarding falls.

Manufacturer's guidelines for Fluticasone Salmeterol also known as Advair Diskus (maintenance medication used to prevent flare-ups or worsening COPD and prevent asthma attacks), indicated that Fluticasone Salmeterol should be safely thrown away in the trash one month after the foil pouch is opened or when the counter reads 0, whichever comes first. Observation on 1/27/26, at 1:19 p.m. of C-Hall Medication Cart, revealed one Trelegy Ellipta Diskus with the foil container opened, diskus in use, and diskus lacking an open date and one Fluticasone Salmeterol Diskus out of the foil package, diskus in use, and diskus lacking an open date. At the time of observation, Licensed Practical Nurse Employee E3 confirmed the Trelegy Ellipta and Fluticasone Salmeterol were both opened, in use and lacked an open date. 28 Pa.
