(Resident 46) Findings include: Clinical record review revealed that Resident 46 had diagnoses that included quadriplegia (the inability to be able to move any muscles from the neck down), muscle spasm, and traumatic brain injury. The Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired, dependent on staff for activities of daily living, and had a limitation in range of motion on both sides of the upper extremities. On March 8, 2022, the occupational therapist (OT) recommended a restorative nursing program (RNP) for range of motion for both shoulders and the right elbow. A physician's order dated March 9, 2022, directed staff to provide the RNP and provide a prolonged stretch for both shoulders and also to extend the right elbow five times and hold it for 30 seconds. There was no evidence that staff had implemented the RNP. In an interview conducted on August 3, 2023, at 10:12 a.m., Quality Regulatory Consultant 1 confirmed there was no evidence that the RNP was provided and that it was not on the task list for nursing care duties. In an interview conducted on August 3, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., The Director of Therapy stated that Resident 46 required the RNP as recommended for both shoulders and right elbow for muscle contractures. In an interview conducted on August 3, 2023, at 12:09 p.m., Nurse Aide 1 (NA1) stated that nurse aides viewed the required daily care duties and RNPs on the task list. 28 Pa.
