Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on facility policy review, observations, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined
that the facility failed to ensure care and services are provided in accordance with professional standards of
practice to meet each resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for two of 35 residents reviewed
(Residents 25 and 136).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Skin Assessment, undated, with the last review date of March 26, 2024,
revealed, in part, A full body, or head to toe, skin assessment should be conducted by a licensed or
registered nurse upon admission/re-admission and weekly thereafter. The assessment may also be
performed after a change of condition or after any newly identified pressure injury.
Review of Resident 25's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus
(impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar [glucose] as a fuel resulting in too much sugar
circulating in the bloodstream) and edema (swelling caused by excess fluid accumulation in the body
tissues).
Review of Resident 25's October 2024 TAR (Treatment Administration Record - form used to document
physician orders as well as when and how treatments are administered to a resident) revealed a physician
order for Ace wraps (elastic bandage that applies pressure to control swelling) to be applied in the morning
and removed at bedtime daily for edema, starting September 28, 2024.
Observations on October 28, 2024, at 11:58 AM and at 1:26 PM; on October 29, 2024, at 9:04 AM; and on
October 30, 2024, at 9:17 AM and at 12:25 PM, revealed that no ace wraps had been applied to Resident

Further review of Resident 25's October 2024 TAR revealed that it was documented that the ace wraps
were applied as ordered on each of the aforementioned dates.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on October 31, 2024, at 11:07 AM, she revealed
she did not have any further information regarding the absence of Resident 25's ace wraps. She also
revealed the expectation that the ace wraps should have been applied as ordered.
Review of Resident 136's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dementia (a chronic disorder of
the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders, personality changes,
and impaired reasoning), heart failure (condition that develops when your heart doesn't pump enough blood
for your body's needs), and protein-calorie malnutrition (the state of inadequate food intake).
Observation of Resident 136 on October 28, 2024, at 11:53 AM, revealed the presence of two dressings to
their left elbow. Neither dressing was dated and there were two small areas of dark brown-black
discoloration on the dressings.

Review of Resident 136's clinical record progress notes failed to reveal any documentation regarding a
current skin issue to their left elbow.
Review of a progress note dated October 1, 2024, indicated the wound to their left elbow was resolved.
Review of Resident 136's September Treatment Administration Record revealed that their weekly full body
assessment was coded N on September 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2024.
Review of Resident 136's October Treatment Administration Record revealed that their weekly full body
assessment was coded Y on October 3, 2024, and N on October 10, 17, and 24, 2024.
Review of Resident 136's assessments in the clinical record failed to reveal that a weekly skin observation
tool had been completed since August 22, 2024.
Follow-up observations of Resident 136 on October 29, 2024, at 1:33 PM, and on October 30, 2024, at
10:18 AM and 12:15 PM, revealed the presence of one dressing to their elbow, which had a small area dark
brown-black discoloration and was not dated.
Email communication received from the DON on October 31, 2024, at 8:27 AM, indicated that she had
investigated the aforementioned observations and findings. She revealed that nurses were interviewed and
declined putting bandage on resident. The nurse said that the hospice nurse was in the past few days. The
UM [Unit Manager] contacted hospice nurse who stated that she put the bandage on him because it was
scabbed over and she didn't want it to open up. She stated she did not tell the nurse or the unit manager
and didn't send over a recommendation. She apologized and said she'd fax over a recommendation. This
morning, I [DON] did receive a verbal order for a foam bordered dressing to left elbow for protection and to
change every 3 days and PRN [as needed]. I [DON] will be putting the order in the computer today.
During an interview with the DON and the Assistant DON on October 31, 2024, at 9:08 AM, the concern of
Resident 136 having no documented weekly skin observation tool since August 22, 2024, and Treatment
Administration Records being coded as N was shared. The DON indicated that the coding was to indicate
that the weekly observation tool was (Y) or was not completed (N). She confirmed that the coding of N
would indicate that the skin check was not completed. She said she would look at it but, at that point, would
have to agree that the documentation to support weekly skin checks was lacking.
During a final interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and DON on October 31, 2024, at
11:04 AM, the DON confirmed that she had no additional documentation to provide that would show that
Resident 136 had a weekly skin assessment. She said the hospice nurse should have communicated her
intervention to facility at time of occurrence. The DON further indicated that facility nurses may not
necessarily have noted that Resident 136 had a bandage on their elbow if a treatment was not ordered for
their shift. The NHA and DON both confirmed that Resident 136 should have received a weekly

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, observation, and resident and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to provide respiratory care consistent with professional standards of

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 policy review, observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to complete a
risk-benefit analysis and obtain consent for enabler bar use for one of six residents reviewed for enabler
use (Resident 33).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Proper Use of Bed Rails, dated 2023, with a last review date of March 26,
2024, revealed, in part, It is the policy of this facility to utilize a person-centered approach when determining
the use of bed rails; 1. As part of the resident's comprehensive assessment, the following components will
be considered when determining the resident's needs, and whether or not the use of bed rails meets those
needs: a. Medical diagnosis, conditions, symptoms, and/or behavioral symptoms; b. Size and weight; c.
Sleep habits; d. Medication(s); e. Acute medical or surgical interventions; f. Underlying medical conditions;
g. Existence of delirium; h. Ability to toilet self safely; i. Cognition; j. Communication; k. Mobility (in and out of
bed); and l. Risk of falling; 2. The resident assessment must also assess the resident's risk from using bed
rails; 5. Informed consent from the resident or resident representative must be obtained after appropriate
alternatives have been attempted prior to installation and use of bed rails; 6. The information that the facility
should provide to the resident, or resident representative includes, but is not limited to: a. What assessed
medical needs would be addressed by the use of bed rails; b. The resident's benefits from the use of bed
rails and the likelihood of these benefits; c. The resident's risks from the use of bed rails and how these
risks will be mitigated; and d. Alternatives attempted that failed to meet the resident's needs and
alternatives considered but not attempted because they were considered to be inappropriate; 7. Upon
receiving informed consent, the facility will obtain a physician's order for the use of the specified bed rail
and medical diagnosis, condition, symptom, or functional reason for the use of the bed rail.; 11. The facility
will continue to provide necessary treatment and care to the resident who has bed rails in accordance with
professional standards of practice and the resident's choices. This should be evidenced in the resident's
records, including their care plan, including, but not limited to, the following information c. Ongoing
assessment to assure that the bed rail is used to meet the resident's needs; d. Ongoing evaluation of risks;
and 12b. A nurse assigned to the resident will complete reassessments in accordance with the facility's
assessment schedule, but not less than quarterly, upon a significant change in status, or a change in the
type of bed/mattress/rail.
Review of Resident 33's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included morbid obesity (obesity in which
the person weighs 80-100 pounds over their ideal body weight) and chronic diastolic congestive heart
failure (heart failure that occurs when the heart does not relax properly between beats, causing the heart to
be unable to pump an adequate amount of blood to the body).
Review of Resident 33's current physician orders revealed an order for occupational Therapy evaluate and
treat as indicated-Resident requesting bilateral enablers on bed for positioning, dated January 7, 2024.
Further review of Resident 33's current physician orders failed to reveal any other orders regarding bilateral
enablers.
Review of Resident 33's care plan failed to reveal the use of bilateral enablers.

Observation of Resident 33 on October 28, 2024, at 11:23 AM, revealed the presence of bilateral enablers
on their bed.
Review of Resident 33's clinical record revealed that there were two Bed Safety with Measuring Tool
evaluations completed by nursing staff regarding Resident 33's bilateral enabler use; one was dated
February 5, 2024, and the other was dated April 22, 2024.
Further review of Resident 33's clinical record failed to reveal the presence of an informed consent or
documentation of education with Resident 33 regarding the risks versus benefits of the bilateral enabler
use.
During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on October 31,
2024, at 11:02 AM, the DON indicated that she could not provide any Occupational Therapy evaluation
from January 2024 that Resident 33 was determined to be safe in the functional use of the bilateral
enablers. In addition, she indicated that she could not provide a consent form or documentation to support
that Resident 33 was educated on the risks versus benefits of the use of the bilateral enablers. She
confirmed that she would have expected the therapy evaluation to have been completed as ordered to
determine Resident 33's safe use of the enablers and the consent obtained before the enablers were
placed on the bed. She also indicated that she would have expected Resident 33's use of bilateral enablers
to have been reassessed for the safe use according to facility policy.
