Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based upon
review of facility policy and procedure, clinical record review and review of documentation provided by the
facility, it was determined the facility failed to honor residents' rights relating to ambulation equipment and
medication for two of twenty-nine residents reviewed (Resident 100 and Resident 145).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy and procedure titled Administering Medications, revised [DATE], revealed
Medication administration times are determined by resident need and benefit, not staff convenience.
Factors that are considered include honoring resident choices and preferences, consistent with his or her
care plan.
Review of Resident 100's clinical record revealed Resident 100 sustained a fall consisting of slipping out of
bed on February 16, 2024.
Review of documentation provided by the facility revealed that Resident 100's walker and wheelchair would
be kept out of Resident 100's sight and reach to prevent resident from attempting to get out of bed and walk
unassisted.
Review of Resident 100's current plan of care revealed an intervention for falls stating wheelchair and
walker to be kept out of sight of resident. Resident will not ambulate without equipment.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on [DATE], at 11:15 a.m. revealed Resident 100 was unable
to ambulate without either a wheelchair or walker. The removal of the wheelchair and walker was an
attempt to keep resident from ambulating after being placed in bed. The interview further revealed that if
Resident 100 wanted to ambulate then the resident would have to ring the call bell, which Resident 100
was continually educated on and failed to do.
Removal of Resident 100's wheelchair and walker from reach and/or sight prohibited Resident 100 from
ambulating as desired.
Review of Resident 145's diagnosis list revealed a diagnosis of dementia (irreversible progressive
degenerative disease of the brain resulting in loss of reality contact and functioning ability.
Review of Resident 145's clinical record revealed Resident 145 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and

Residents Affected - Few
Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
provide the appropriate monitoring, care, and services for two of four residents receiving parenteral nutrition
(Residents 18 and 37) which resulted in actual harm to Resident 18, who developed an infection to the site
of the parenteral tube feed which caused pain, multiple hospital trips, and required IV (intravenous)
antibiotic therapy.
Findings include:
Observation of Resident 18 on March 26, 2024, and March 27, 2024, revealed the resident had a
percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG tube - tube placed through the abdomen directly into the
stomach to provide nutrition and medication when oral intake is not adequate). Further observation
revealed the resident had an IV placed in the right arm.
Review of Resident 18's care plan for the PEG tube revealed an intervention added September 6, 2022, to
provide care to the tube site per (physician) orders.
Review of Resident 18's physician orders revealed an order dated April 2, 2023, and discontinued October
11, 2023, to cleanse the PEG insertion site with soap and water, apply Bacitracin (antibiotic ointment) and
leave open to air every shift for skin care.
Review of Resident 18's October 2023, November 2023, December 2023, and January 2024 Treatment
Administration Records (TARs) failed to reveal evidence of documented care to the PEG insertion site until
January 11, 2024, when an order was obtained to apply clotrimazole 1% (antifungal) cream to the PEG site
twice a day for yeast for 10 days.
Review of Resident 18's February 2024 TAR failed to reveal evidence of documented care to the PEG
insertion site.
Review of Resident 18's progress notes revealed a provider note dated January 11, 2024, when the
resident returned from a hospitalization occurring January 7, 2024, until January 10, 2024, for gastritis
(inflammation of the stomach). Further review of the progress note revealed, while at the hospital, the
resident's PEG site was believed to be infected and positive for a yeast infection, so the resident was
started on clotrimazole until January 21, 2024.
Additional review of Resident 18's progress notes revealed a nurse's note on February 24, 2024, which
stated that the resident's PEG tube bandage was changed, and skin surrounding is red/irritated/moist and
painful to the touch. Cleaned with [normal saline] and bacitracin applied.
Further review of Resident 18's progress notes revealed a nurse's note on February 27, 2024, which stated
that the resident's PEG tube bandage was changed, and skin surrounding is red/irritated/moist and painful
to the touch. Cleaned with [normal saline] and bacitracin applied. Will continue to monitor.
Further review of Resident 18's clinical record failed to reveal evidence that the provider was made aware
of the resident's PEG site following the February 24th and February 27th nursing progress notes.
