Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans that included specific and individualized interventions to address specific care needs for two of 33 residents reviewed (Residents 3, 35).
Findings include: The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated January 12, 2023, indicated that individualized, comprehensive, person-centered care plans would be developed and implemented based on the resident's rights, including measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs identified in the resident's comprehensive assessment. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 3, dated November 26, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired was understood and could understand others. Physician's orders for Resident 3, dated December 13, 2023, included an order for the resident to be on a 1500 milliliter (ml) fluid restriction per day. There was no documented evidence in Resident 3's clinical record that a comprehensive care plan was developed that included a 1500 ml per day fluid restriction. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 19, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. confirmed that a care plan to address Resident 3's specialized care needs related to a fluid restriction was not created and that it should have been. An admission MDS assessment for Resident 35, dated October 15, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired. Physician's orders for Resident 35, dated December 13, 2023, included an order for the resident to have the midline catheter (a form of intravenous access that is used for a prolonged period of time) flushed with 3 milliliters of normal saline solution before and after each IV medication administration. There was no documented evidence in Resident 35's clinical record to indicate that a comprehensive care plan was developed that included the care needs for a midline catheter.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that care plans were updated to reflect changes in residents' care needs for two of 34 residents reviewed (Residents 14, 101).
Findings include: The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated January 12, 2023, indicated that nursing staff and/or the interdisciplinary team were to initiate and/or update care plans for the resident as warranted. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 14, dated August 21, 2023, revealed that the resident was understood and could understand others, had no cognitive impairment, and was dependent on staff for daily care needs. Current physician's orders for Resident 14 revealed an order for a 1500 milliliter (ml) fluid restriction per day. A care plan for Resident 14, most recently updated November 2, 2023, indicated the resident was on a 2000 ml per day fluid restriction. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 19, 2023, at 9:28 a.m. confirmed that Resident 14 was on a 1500 ml fluid restriction per day and that the care plan was not updated. An annual MDS assessment for Resident 101, dated December 10, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, required extensive assistance from staff for daily care tasks, had a care plan that indicated the resident was at risk for infection due to her indwelling catheter, and had diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease and acute kidney failure. Physician's orders for Resident 101, dated December 4, 2023, included an order for the resident to have the foley catheter changed every month. However, a care plan, dated December 19, 2023, indicated that the catheter was to be changed every three months. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 19, 2023, at 2:40 p.m. confirmed that Resident 101's care plan was not updated to reflect the catheter was to be changed every month. 28 Pa.

Based on review of clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician's orders were followed for one of 34 residents reviewed (Resident 93).

Findings include: An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 93, dated November 23, 2023, revealed that the resident was understood, could understand others, and had diagnoses that included heart disease. Physician's orders for Resident 93, dated November 28, 2023, included orders for the resident to receive 25 milligrams (mg) of Metoprolol Tartrate (treats high blood pressure) once a day, to be held if her systolic blood pressure (top number in a blood pressure reading) was less than 100 mm/Hg and held if her heart rate was less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). A review of the December 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 93 revealed that on December 5 the resident's blood pressure was 86/51 mm/Hg. The Metoprolol Tartrate dose was administered on the above date when it should have been held, according to the physician's orders.
