Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was completed to accurately reflect the resident's status for two of
20 sampled residents. (Residents 11, 21)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Section N (Medications) of Resident 11's MDS assessment dated
[DATE], indicated that the resident was not on an opioid medication during the seven-day review period,
however review of the resident's record revealed that the resident did receive an opioid (tramadol) during
the seven-day review period.
Clinical record review revealed that section P of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated that
Resident 21 used a chair or other alarm less than daily during the seven-day review period. Review of

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 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 two of 20 sampled residents. (Residents 11, 21)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 11 had diagnoses that included traumatic brain injury,
functional quadriplegia (complete inability to move due to severe disability), and bilateral hand contractures.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was cognitively
impaired and dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. Review of Resident 11's current care plan
revealed that the resident is at high risk for contractures due to immobility and that staff was to provide a
restorative nursing program for passive range of motion to bilateral upper extremities at fingers and
shoulders to reduce risk for further contracture twice a day. There was a lack of documentation to support
that the resident was offered restorative range of motion on 18 of 30 days.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 21 had diagnoses that included chronic pain and
osteoarthritis. The MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was alert and oriented and
required limited assistance from staff for activities of daily living. In an interview on July 10, 2024, at 10:55
a.m. Resident 21 stated no one was walking him like they were supposed to. Review of Resident 21's
current care plan revealed that he had self-care performance deficit due to his physical limitations and that
staff was to provide a restorative nursing program to ambulate with a four wheeled walker and gait belt, with
assistance of one staff person with a wheelchair to follow 50 to 125 feet twice a day. There was a lack of
documentation to support that the resident was offered restorative ambulation on 17 of 30 days.
In an interview on July 12, 2024, at 12:25 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that there was no
documented evidence that the restorative nursing programs were completed.
