F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to determine a resident's right to self-administer medications was clinically appropriate for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 3). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Self-Administration of Medications, with a last revised date of December 2016, revealed the following, in part: Residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so; 1. As part of their overall evaluation, the staff and practitioner will assess each resident's mental and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medications is clinically appropriate for the resident; 2. In addition to general evaluation of decision-making capacity, the staff and practitioner will perform a more specific skill assessment, including (but not limited to) a. ability to read and understand labels, b. comprehension of the purpose and proper dosage and administration time for his or her medications, c. ability to remove medications from a container and to ingest and swallow (or otherwise administer) the medication, and d. the ability to recognize risks and major adverse consequences of his or her medication. Review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), and osteoarthritis (degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, causing pain and stiffness especially in the hip, knee, and thumb joints).

Each resident's comprehensive person-centered care plan will be consistent with the resident's rights to participate in the development and implementation of his or her plan of care including the right to participate in the planning process and request meetings. The care planning process will facilitate resident and/or representative involvement. Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the resident and residents' conditions change. Review of Resident 10's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included left hand contracture (a permanent shortening and tightening of muscle fibers that reduces flexibility and makes movement difficult), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), and muscle weakness. Interview with Resident 10 on July 8, 2024, at 10:33 AM, revealed she does not remember getting invited to her care plan meetings. Review of Resident 10's clinical record revealed an annual care plan meeting note dated November 11, 2023; and two quarterly care plan meeting notes dated February 20, 2024, and May 21, 2024.

F 0657 the aforementioned care plan meetings. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of select facility documentation provided revealed Resident 125's Representative was invited to attend the care plan meeting held in May 2024 via letter. Residents Affected - Some Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on July 10, 2024, at 1:36 PM, revealed Employee 4 (Social Worker) is responsible for coordinating the care plan meetings and sends a letter to resident representatives, however, she is not sure how the meetings are communicated to the residents themselves. Follow-up interview with the NHA, in the presence of Employee 8 (Regional Director of Clinical Services), on July 11, 2024, at 10:47 AM, revealed she is unable to locate any documentation to indicate that Residents 10 or 125 were invited to their care plan meetings. During an interview with Employee 8 on July 11, 2024, at 10:48 AM, she confirmed they don't have evidence Residents 10 or 125 were invited to their care plan meetings. She revealed the misstep in their process is that Employee 4 sends a letter to resident representatives or, if residents are their own representative ,she will address the letter to the resident; however, residents who are not their own representative are not getting a letter, and they should be invited to their care plans regardless if they have a representative. She further revealed they are going to adjust their process to make sure residents are invited to their care plan meetings. Review of Resident 125's physician orders revealed an order for plastic utensils for all meals, with a start date of December 13, 2023. Email correspondence with the NHA on July 9, 2024, at 11:42 AM, the surveyor requested information about Resident 125's need for plastic utensils at meals. Review of an occupational therapy progress report from December 11, 2023, revealed a comment under objective progress for eating that stated improving with plastic utensils. Review of select facility documentation provided revealed a therapy treatment encounter note from December 13, 2023, that stated Patient setup for self-feeding. Patient demonstrated improved ability to perform task with lightweight items. Small plastic cups and plastic utensils increase independence due to lightweight and ease to grab due to poor fine motor skills on bilateral hands. Interview with the NHA on July 10, 2024, at 1:33 PM, revealed she would expect Resident 125's care plan to be updated to reflect the use of plastic utensils at meals for self-feeding ability. 28 Pa.

During an interview with Employee 8 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) in the presence of the Director of Nursing (DON) on July 11, 2024, at 10:52 AM, she revealed the pharmacy recommendation was not implemented until the second recommendation was made and signed by the physician on February 5, 2024, due to a transcription error when the order was entered on January 9, 2024, that did not prompt nursing staff to take blood pressures on the MAR. Interview with the DON on July 11, 2024, at 10:54 AM, revealed she would expect physician orders to be entered properly and followed. She further revealed she would expect medications not to be administered outside of the directed parameters.
