Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
physician's orders were implemented for two of 35 sampled residents. (Residents 135, 151)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 135 had diagnoses that included history of a stroke and high
blood pressure. On June 1, 2024, a physician's order directed staff to administer a medication (metoprolol
tartrate) two times a day to treat the resident's high blood pressure and heart rate. Staff was not to give the
medication if the resident had a systolic (top number of a blood pressure reading) blood pressure below
110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or if the heart rate was less than 50 beats per minute. A review of the
June 2024, Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed that staff administered the medication over
43 times without checking that the blood pressure and heart rate were above the hold parameters.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 151 had diagnoses that included sepsis, kidney failure, and
heart failure. On May 31, 2024, a physician's order directed staff to administer a medication (furosemide)
one time a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and to hold the medication if the blood pressure
readings were below 90/60 mmHg. A review of the resident's June 2024, MAR revealed that staff
administered the medication ten times in June 2024, without confirming that the blood pressure was above
the established parameter.
In an interview on June 27, 2024, at 12:00 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed the parameters were not
checked prior to the administration of the medications for Residents 135 and 151.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide
restorative nursing services to prevent a reduction in range of motion and/or to improve or maintain mobility
on a consistent basis for three of 35 sampled residents. (Residents 4, 31, 83)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 4 had diagnoses that included dementia, congestive heart
failure, and hemiplegia (one sided paralysis or weakness). The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired and required staff assistance for
activities of daily living. Review of Resident 4's current care plan revealed that she was at risk for loss of
range of motion due to her physical limitations and that staff was to provide a restorative nursing program
for passive range of motion exercises to her legs with morning and evening care. There was no
documented evidence to support that staff was completing passive range of motion exercises to Resident
4's legs.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 31 had diagnoses that included dementia and pain in the left
and right knee. The MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated the resident was cognitively impaired and
required staff assistance for activities of daily living. Review of Resident 31's care plan revealed that he was
at risk for loss of range of motion with an intervention for staff to provide restorative passive range of motion
exercises to his legs with morning and evening care. There was no documented evidence that staff was
completing the passive range of motion exercises for Resident 31.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 83 had diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease and anxiety. The MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident required staff
assistance for activities of daily living. Review of Resident 83's current care plan revealed that she was at
risk for loss of range of motion due to physical limitations and that that staff was to provide a restorative
nursing program for passive range of motion to her right arm with morning and evening care. In an interview
on June 26, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., Resident 83 stated that staff do not complete exercises to her right arm.
There was no documented evidence to support that staff was completing passive range of motion exercises
to Resident 83's right arm.
In an interview on June 27, 2024, at 11:57 a.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no
documented evidence that the restorative nursing programs were completed.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, review of facility documentation, observation, and staff interview, it was determined
that the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent accidents/hazards on two of four nursing
units. (Second Floor Unit and Third Floor Unit) In addition, it was determined that the facility failed to
thoroughly investigate a fall and provide appropriate interventions for one of six sampled residents identified
at risk for falls. (Resident 56)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 9 had diagnoses that included gastro-esophageal reflux
disease, dementia, and spinal stenosis. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE],
revealed the resident had cognitive impairment. On January 18, 2024, the physician ordered a dysphagia
mechanically altered texture diet. Review of Resident 9's care plan revealed she had a self-care deficit with
an intervention for staff to provide meal support. Observations on June 26, 2024, from 12:38 p.m. through
12:50 p.m., revealed Resident 9 in bed in room [ROOM NUMBER] with Resident 28 assisting to feed
Resident 9 her lunch. At no time did staff intervene.
Observations on June 27, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., revealed that the third floor unit treatment
cart was opened and unlocked. The cart contained tubes of medications, including three tubes of steroid
creams, two tubes of antibiotic creams, two bottles of antifungal medications, one tube of hemorrhoid relief
cream, and one tube of pain relief cream. Cognitively impaired residents, including Residents 56 and 88,
were observed walking around the unit and self-propelling around the unit without supervision at this time.
In an interview on June 27, 2024, at 11:45 a.m., the third floor unit manager confirmed the drawer on the
treatment cart should have been locked.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 56 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included
dementia, anxiety, and diabetes mellitus. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the
resident had multiple falls and used an indwelling urinary catheter (a device used to drain urine when you
cannot urinate on your own). Review of the current care plan revealed that Resident 56 was at risk to fall
due to unsteady walking and behaviors and an intervention was for the resident's bed to be kept in a low
position. After a fall on April 9, 2024, documentation on the facility incident report and care plan revealed
that the intervention added to prevent further falls was to toilet the resident for urinary incontinence, even
though the resident had a urinary catheter in place. On April 24, 2024, Resident 56 was again found on the
floor next to his bed. Review of the nursing notes and the facility incident report did not indicate if Resident
56's bed was in a low position when he fell. Review of the facility incident report and an interdisciplinary
team note dated April 24, 2024, revealed that the intervention was to educate nursing staff on maintaining
the resident's bed in a low position.
In an interview on June 27, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 56 used an
indwelling urinary catheter and would not be appropriate for a toileting program to prevent falls. The Director
of Nursing also stated that there was no documentation to support that Resident 56's bed was in the low
position when he fell out of bed on April 24, 2024.
