Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, and responsible party, resident, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the highest practicable care to promote pressure ulcer healing for four of four residents reviewed (Residents 2, 3, 13, and 15).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include: The policy entitled Pressure Ulcer Treatment Policy and Procedure, last reviewed without changes on January 18, 2023, revealed the registered nurse will measure and document wounds at least weekly on shower assessment or wound rounding day for positive or negative changes and act accordingly. An interview with Resident 2 on July 5, 2023, at 1:11 PM revealed she had a pressure ulcer on her buttock and right thigh. A review of Resident 2's clinical record revealed Wound Healing Solutions assessed Resident 2's wounds on June 6, 2023. Wound Healing Solutions assessed Resident 2's full-thickness ulceration of her coccyx as healed, with macerated (softening and breaking down of skin) tissue. The partial thickness ulceration of Resident 2's right posterior thigh was measured as 1.5 by 0.8 by 0.1 centimeters (cm). Wound healing solutions identified a new wound on Resident 2's right buttock measuring 0.8 by 0.2 by 0.2 cm, adjacent to the coccyx ulcer. The next assessment of Resident 2's wounds was on June 20, 2023 (14 days later). Resident 2's full-thickness ulceration of her coccyx was now reopened and measured 0.5 by 0.5 by 0.1 cm. Her right posterior thigh measured 2.0 by 0.7 by 0.1 cm, and her right buttock measured 0.5 by 0.3 by 0.2 cm. An interview with Resident 3 on July 5, 2023, at 12:56 PM revealed that she had a pressure sore on her left foot and right leg stump. A review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed Wound Healing Solutions assessed Resident 3's wounds on June 6, 2023. Wound Healing Solutions assessed Resident 3's partial thickness wound on her right posterior stump (medial) 1.8 by 1.8 by 0.2 cm, full thickness wound left heel 4.8 by 4.5 by 0.2 cm, and full thickness wound of left second toe 0.6 by 0.6 by 0.2 cm. The next assessment of Resident 3's wounds was on June 20, 2023 (14 days later). An interview with the responsible party for Resident 15 on July 5, 2023, at 11:20 AM revealed the resident came to the facility with skin breakdown on her buttocks, and probably cancer has spread to her brain, and she is at the end of her life. The responsible party also indicated that the resident does not like to be repositioned in bed and only wants to lie on her back. Review of a consultation by Wound Healing Solutions for Resident 15 dated June 6, 2023, revealed the resident had wounds that healed on both buttocks and had developed a new skin ulceration over the coccyx (tailbone) that measured 3.5 cm x 3 cm x 0.1 cm. The wound was described as a partial thickness wound and moisture related. The next assessment for Resident 15 was on June 20, 2023 (14 days later), which revealed the partial-thickness ulceration was now a Stage III pressure ulcer/injury (full-thickness loss of skin) that measured 1.5 cm x 1 cm x 0.1 cm. The facility failed to provide the necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice to promote pressure ulcer healing and prevent new ulcers from developing. An interview with the Director of Nursing on July 7, 2023, at 10:54 AM confirmed these findings for Residents 2, 3, and 15.

Clinical record review for Resident 13 revealed a progress note dated June 22, 2023, at 11:10 AM noting an assessment of the resident after a fall. A dark hard area was noted on the residents left heel noting skin prep was applied and the resident would be placed on the list for the wound care team. There was no evidence of any additional assessment at the time to determine the origin of the area to indicate if the area was a result of the fall, pressure, friction, or the size of the area.
Residents Affected - Some A skin assessment dated [DATE], for Resident 13 assessed the resident as having a reabsorbed and hard right heel blister, nothing was noted on the left heel. There were no measurements of the area or interventions initiated. Resident 13 was not seen by the wound specialist until June 28, 2023, who noted an unstageable pressure area on the resident's left heel measuring 1.33 cm in area, 1.17 cm in length and 1.49 cm in width. No areas were noted on the resident's right heel. A treatment was ordered to be completed every three days to the left heel, and the wound specialist would follow up in two weeks. A skin assessment completed on Resident 13 dated July 4, 2023, assessed the resident as having a right heel blister with no measurements noted. The skin assessment did not note any area on the left heel. There was no evidence of any weekly assessment or measurements to identify any improvement, decline, or need of treatment change for the area on the resident's left heel. An observation of Resident 13's heels upon surveyor request with Employee 7, registered nurse, on July 6, 2023, at 2:28 PM revealed the resident had a treatment dressing removed from his left heel. A dark purple area was observed on the left heel. There was no evidence of any compromised area or recently healed area on the resident's right heel as the resident was noted as having a blister on the heel on assessments completed by the nursing staff dated June 27, and July 4, 2023. Employee 7 redressed the area to the resident's left heel per physician orders. No measurements or documented assessment as to the condition of the area was noted. Employee 7 indicated the facility did not have a wound nurse and a company comes in every other week to assess areas on the residents with measurements and any needed treatment changes. In an interview with the Director of Nursing on July 6, 2023, at 2:40 PM it was confirmed the facility did not have a wound nurse or the wound specialist available to assess the resident's area weekly, and Resident 13 would not be assessed by the wound specialist again until a visit the week of July 10, 2023, after the resident's initial visit on June 28, 2023. The Director of Nursing confirmed the skin assessment documentation dated June 27, and July 4, 2023, for Resident 13 inaccurately identified the area as being on the resident's right heel and not the left heel. 28 Pa.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, clinical record review, review of select facility policies, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care and services for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 15).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of the facility policy entitled Oxygen Therapy, last reviewed without changes on January 18, 2023, revealed that oxygen therapy will be provided as ordered by the physician who will order the delivery source, the liter flow, and humidity bottle and distilled water if required or needed. The nasal cannula (prongs connected to tubing inserted in nose to deliver oxygen) tubing is to be changed every 14 days and the nurse is to place a piece of tape with the date on tubing. A physician's order dated June 10, 2021, indicated that Resident 15 was to receive oxygen by way of nasal cannula at 2 lpm (liters per minute) as needed for shortness of breath. Clinical record review for Resident 15 revealed that the resident's plan of care did not include oxygen therapy. Observation of Resident 15 on July 5, 2023, at 11:22 AM revealed that the resident was lying in bed with her eyes closed. She was receiving oxygen at 1 lpm by way of nasal cannula. The oxygen tubing had a piece of tape that was dated June 5, 2023. A humidity bottle was present on the oxygen concentrator (delivery system for oxygen). The humidity bottle was empty. Observation and interview with the Director of Nursing on July 5, 2023, at 3:45 PM confirmed that Resident 15 was receiving oxygen at 1 lpm by way of nasal cannula when 2 lpm was ordered, and the humidity bottle was to have distilled water. During an interview with the Director of Nursing on July 6, 2023, at 1:45 PM the surveyor discussed the omission of oxygen therapy in Resident 15's plan of care. 28 Pa.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to regularly assess a resident's entrapment risk from the use of bed rails for one of six residents reviewed for accident hazards (Resident 1).
Findings include: The facility policy entitled, Bed Rails/Entrapment, last reviewed without changes on January 18, 2023, noted that maintenance evaluates all beds annually to ensure that all entrapment zones are within FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recommendations. Observation of Resident 1's room on July 5, 2023, at 1:26 PM revealed bilateral assist bars mounted to the head of her bed. Clinical record review of Resident 1's Bed Zones Measurement Checklist (form utilized by the facility to document the assessment of the seven bed system entrapment zones) indicated that staff last completed an assessment of Resident 1's bed system entrapment zones on October 20, 2020. Interview with the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator on July 6, 2023, at 1:45 PM confirmed that the facility had no evidence that staff assessed all potential entrapment zones for Resident 1 for more than two and two-thirds years since October 20, 2020. 28 Pa.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, facility assessment, select personnel files, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to complete skills competencies and/or annual performance reviews for three of three staff reviewed for staff competencies (Employees 1, 3 and 4; Resident 4).
Findings include: The Facility Assessment, last updated May 15, 2023, indicated that the resident care and services correlating to the resident population included that medication administration is offered by the nursing staff. Medication management is provided by the pharmacy. Staff competencies are determined according to the amount of resident interaction required by the job role, job knowledge, skills, and abilities, and those needed to care for the resident. Competencies are based on current standards of practice and may include knowledge and a test, knowledge and return demonstration, knowledge and observed ability, knowledge and observed behavior, and annual performance evaluation. Competencies are based on the care and services needed by the resident population. The facility human resources policy entitled, Benefits, last reviewed January 18, 2023, stipulated that all employees will be evaluated on their job performance at the end of their probation period and/or annually. The criteria evaluated included skill level/competencies. The facility policy entitled, Medication Administration, last reviewed without changes on January 18, 2023, listed procedural steps that included medications will be administered in accordance with a physician's order by a licensed nurse. The nurse will consult the MAR (medication administration record) for medications to be administered to the given resident. Staff will compare the medication sheet with the label of each medication for the following: right person, right medication, right date, right time, right route, right dose, and expiration date. If there is a discrepancy, the medication will not be administered. Instructions will be verified by contacting the assigned nurse who in turn may contact the pharmacist or prescriber. Staff will compare the label with the medication sheet for a second time and a third time before administering it to the individual. Review of Employee 1's (licensed practical nurse) personnel record indicated that the facility hired him on April 21, 2020. Employee 1's last Employee Annual Evaluation was dated April 27, 2023. Review of a Medication Administration Observation competency outline completed with Employee 1 dated February 28, 2022, revealed that the steps for medication administration included to verify the medication and strength with the physician's order as transcribed on the MAR. Interview with the Director of Nursing on July 7, 2023, at 9:05 AM, revealed that the facility had no evidence of an annual medication administration competency for Employee 1 after the February 28, 2022, evaluation. Observation of a medication administration pass on July 6, 2023, at 8:08 AM revealed Employee 1 prepared Tramadol (narcotic analgesic) 50 milligrams for administration to Resident 4. The labeling on the Tramadol packaging instructed staff to administer the medication four times a day (QID). Clinical record review for Resident 4 revealed a physician's order, active since November 27, 2021,

that instructed staff to administer Tramadol 50 mg three times a day (TID) to Resident 4.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Interview with Employee 1 on July 6, 2023, at 9:55 AM verified Resident 4's Tramadol had been ordered as TID since November 26, 2021; however, every card of Tramadol available in the medication cart for Resident 4's administration included instructions to administer QID. The dates on the available Tramadol medication labeling indicated the following pharmacy fill dates:
Residents Affected - Some
One card, with one of 28 tablets left, dated February 17, 2023 Three cards, with 28 tablets, dated May 12, 2023 Three cards, with 28 tablets, dated June 9, 2023 The pharmacy continued to fill Resident 4's Tramadol's prescription with incorrect medication labeling since February 2023. Staff who administered the 27 doses of the Tramadol medication from the packaging filled by pharmacy on February 17, 2023, failed to identify and/or correct that the labeling did not match the active physician order for Resident 4. Review of Employee 4's (registered nurse) personnel record revealed that the facility hired her on August 4, 2021. Interview with Employee 2 (business manager/human resources) on July 7, 2023, at 10:10 AM revealed that there was no evidence of an annual employee evaluation for Employee 4. Review of a Medication Administration Observation competency outline for Employee 4 revealed that more than a year had elapsed since the last competency assessment was completed on March 28, 2022. Review of Employee 3's (licensed practical nurse) personnel record revealed that the facility hired her on August 10, 2021. Employee 3's last Employee Annual Evaluation was dated August 12, 2022. Review of a Medication Administration Observation competency outline for Employee 3 revealed that more than a year had elapsed since the last competency assessment was completed on March 12, 2022. Interview with the Director of Nursing on July 7, 2023, at 9:39 AM revealed that all licensed nursing staff perform medication administration duties as part of their job duties. The interview confirmed that the facility had no evidence of a medication administration competency for Employees 1, 3, and 4 at least annually. 28 Pa. Code 201.20(a) Staff development 28 Pa.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a resident's medication regime was free from potentially unnecessary medications for one of five residents reviewed (Resident 10).
Findings include: Review of Resident 10's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 20, 2023, for staff to administer Lorazepam (generic name of Ativan, medication used to treat anxiety) oral concentrate 2mg/ml (milligrams/milliliter), 0.5 ml every four hours PRN (as needed for anxiety). Review of Resident 10's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 31, 2023, for staff to administer Ativan 0.5 mg two times a day. Review of Resident 10's Medication Administration Record (MAR, form used to document the administration of medications) revealed the resident received Lorazepam PRN on the following dates in 2023: March 20 at 7:50 PM March 23 at 12:51 AM March 28 at 6:39 AM, 11:19 AM, and 7:34 PM March 31 at 9:05 PM April 8 at 4:40 AM and 12:58 PM April 10 at 8:42 PM April 18 at 2:31 PM April 19 at 2:31 AM and 1:50 PM April 23 at 6:00 PM May 7 at 3:47 PM July 2 at 3:28 PM During a meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on July 5, 2023, at 3:29 PM the surveyor asked for the documented rational for the PRN lorazepam being used beyond 14 days with the duration of the medication. During an interview with the Director of Nursing on July 6, 2023, at 8:44 AM it was confirmed that the PRN lorazepam did not have a 14 day stop date nor was there a documented rationale to indicate the continued use and the duration for the PRN medication.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure accurate labeling of medications for one of two residents observed for medication administration (Resident 4).
Findings include: The online resource https://www.webmd.com/drug-medication/what-are-the-7-rights-of-medication, instructed to always triple-check that you are giving the right medication to the right person. After confirming that you have the right individual, read the medication's label, and review the resident's charts to confirm you are going to give the correct medication. Along with giving the right medication comes giving the right dose. You will be able to find the right dose on the individual's chart alongside the form that the medication comes in. In addition to following the seven medication administration rights, there are three checks that you must perform. Read the individual's chart three times before letting your resident take their medication: before you prepare the medication, while you prepare the medication, and when returning or discarding the container. Review of the Medication Administration Observation competency outline completed with Employee 1 (licensed practical nurse) dated February 28, 2022, revealed that the steps for medication administration included to verify the medication and strength with the physician's order as transcribed on the medication record (MAR, electronic documentation of the administration of medications). The facility policy entitled, Safe Medication Administration, last reviewed without changes on January 18, 2023, revealed that the steps for procedures for administration within the Medication Administration Guidelines did not instruct staff to ensure the medication labeling matched the physician order/prescriber dosing instructions before dispensing a medication. Medication Dispensing is defined as an act by a practitioner or a person who is licensed in this state to dispense medications under the Pharmacy Act (63 P.S. 390-1-390-13) entailing the interpretation of an order for a medication and, under that order, the proper selecting, measuring, labeling, packaging, and issuance of the medication for a resident or for a service unit of the facility. The Pharmacy Act (63 P.S. 390-1-390-13) Chapter 27. State Board of Pharmacy, 27.12(b)(3), stipulated that the pharmacist shall ensure that the label of the container in which a nonproprietary drug is dispensed or sold pursuant to a prescription complies with the labeling requirements of 27.18, Standards of practice. The standards of practice listed in 27.18 included a drug not in unit dose shall be labeled to indicate the resident name, drug name, drug strength, dosing instructions, and lot number. The facility policy entitled, Medication Administration, last reviewed without changes, listed procedural steps that included medications will be administered in accordance with a physician's order by a licensed nurse. The nurse will consult the MAR for medications to be administered to the given resident. Staff will compare the medication sheet with the label of each medication for the following: right person, right medication, right date, right time, right route, right dose, and expiration date. If there is a discrepancy, the medication will not be administered. Instructions will be verified by contacting the assigned nurse who in turn may contact the pharmacist or prescriber.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, observation, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to arrange for routine dental care to the extent covered under the State plan for two of three residents reviewed for dental concerns (Residents 3 and 1).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include: Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 3 on July 3, 2019. Interview and observation of Resident 3 on July 5, 2023, at 12:53 PM revealed her front tooth appeared broken. Resident 3 stated that she goes to a dentist outside the facility when the facility schedules her appointments. Further review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed she saw a dentist on August 18, 2022, and then not again until May 23, 2023. Interview with the Director of Nursing on July 7, 2023, at 10:51 AM confirmed these findings and had no further information to indicate that Resident 3 received routine dental services every six months as the State plan allows. Observation of Resident 1 on July 5, 2023, at 1:34 PM revealed she was missing several teeth; however, Resident 1 had some natural teeth. Clinical record review for Resident 1 revealed progress note documentation by the facility's consultant dental provider dated November 19, 2019, indicating that Resident 1 had no new cavities and no signs of pathology. Progress note documentation on the following dates indicated that dental appointments for Resident 1 were cancelled/rescheduled: Transport documentation dated August 17, 2022, at 1:34 PM revealed that Resident 1 had an appointment for an annual dental cleaning on October 21, 2022, at 10:00 AM.
