Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who is unable to carry out
activities of daily living receives the necessary services to maintain good personal hygiene for 2 of 18
residents reviewed for ADL care. (Resident #'s 29 and 40)
Residents Affected - Few
*The facility failed to maintain Resident #29's fingernails, which extended ¾ inch past the tips of each
finger; and had brown substance caked under nails.
*The facility failed to maintain Resident #40's fingernails, which extended approximately ¾ inch past
the tips of each finger. The 4th digit (ring finger) and 5th digit (pinky finger) fingernails of the resident's right
contracted hand caused indentations in the palm of the resident's right hand.
This failure could place the residents at risk for not receiving the care and services to maintain their highest
level of well-being.
Findings included:
1. Record review of physician orders dated February 2023 indicated Resident #29, admitted [DATE], was
[AGE] years old with diagnoses of acquired absence of left and right leg above knee (loss or removal of
both legs from above the knees), weakness, and age-related physical debility (inability to walk and limited
strength).

resident required extensive assistance of one person for personal hygiene and had functional limitations in
range of motion to both lower extremities. The assessment indicated the resident did not have behaviors or
resist care.
Record review of ADL sheets dated February 2023 did not include any documentation Resident #29's nails

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an observation on 02/14/23 at 07:30 a.m. Resident #29 was asleep. His fingernails were untrimmed
but did not have a brown substance underneath.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 02/14/23 at 2:25 p.m., CNA D said CNAs were responsible for cleaning and
trimming Resident's fingernails and it was done on shower days, when a resident requested, or when a
CNA noticed they needed trimming. She said long nails increased a Resident's risk of scratching
themselves.
During observation and interview on 02/15/23 at 07:30 a.m., Resident #29's fingernails remained long and
had dark brown substance caked under each nail. He said the last time his nails were trimmed that his
family member had trimmed them, and the facility trimmed them a long time ago. He then scraped under
one nail with another nail and a clump of brown substance flew into the air. He said he didn't know how his
nails got so dirty. Resident said his nails were dirty, look like claws right now and he would like them to be
cut.
During an observation and interview on 02/15/23 at 8:22 a.m., LVN E said she was charge nurse caring for
Resident #29. She said his fingernails were long and needed to be cleaned and trimmed. She said
Resident #29 had a hospice aide who does his bathing and ADL care, but he often refused care. LVN E
said she had not noticed Resident's nails until surveyor intervention, but she would get them cleaned and
trimmed. She said the hospice aide should have cleaned and trimmed them, but if he refused for her
nursing staff at the facility should have taken care of his nails.
During an interview on 02/15/23 at 10:30 a.m., the DON said she expected the nursing staff to keep
resident's fingernails trimmed and clean. She said she had done many in-services with nursing staff
regarding ADL care and nail care.
During an observation and interview on 02/15/23 at 10:40 a.m., Resident #29 showed the surveyor his nails
and said the nurse had cleaned and trimmed them for him. He said he felt much better knowing his nails
were not long and dirty.
2. Record review of physician orders dated February 2023 indicated Resident #40, admitted [DATE], was
[AGE] years old with a diagnosis of cerebral infarction (stroke).
Record review of the most recent MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #40 had moderate cognitive
impairment, had a diagnosis of cerebral infarction, was totally dependent for personal hygiene and had one
sided weakness to the upper extremities.
Record review of a care plan dated 9/30/20 to present indicated Resident #40 had a potential for alteration
in comfort related to contracture of right hand, apply carrot/ hand roll when resident allows. A care plan
dated 11/17/21 indicated Resident #40 had contractures and is at risk for skin breakdown, increased pain
from affected areas and injuries. Contractures located to right upper hand. A care plan dated 9/30/20
indicated Resident #40 required assistance with ADL care. One of the interventions was to set-up, assist,
give shower, shave, oral, hair, nail care schedule and prn.
Record review of a treatment sheet dated February 2023 did not indicate Resident #40's fingernails were to
be trimmed or had been trimmed. The treatment sheet indicated: Place Hand Roll in Right Hand . Keep 4
hours on, 4 hours off during day time. Keep it overnight. Order Date: 2/14/2023.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the ADL sheets dated January 2023 and February 2023 indicated Resident #40 was
totally dependent for personal hygiene and bathing. There was no documentation to indicate the resident's
nails had been trimmed.
During observation and interview on 2/13/23 at 10:37 a.m., Resident #40 was lying in bed sleeping.
Observations of the resident's right hand indicated all fingers were firmly contracted inward towards the
palm of the hand. The resident's fingernails to all fingers on both hands bilaterally were approximately
¾ inch in length past the tips of the fingers. The 4th and 5th digits of the right contracted hand were
firmly curled inward toward the resident's palm. LVN A and LVN B entered the room. LVN A pulled the 4th
and 5th digits away from the palm of the resident's right hand to reveal two deep indentations into the
center of the palm. LVN A said she was the floor manager. She said the fingernails were too long and there
were indentations in Resident #40's right palm of her hand. She said the resident's fingernails needed to be
trimmed and the resident did have a hand roll but kept taking it out of her hand. LVN B looked for a handroll
in the resident's drawers; no handroll was found. When asked who was responsible for the resident's care,
LVN B said she was. LVN B said the resident's nails were too long, should be kept trimmed and a hand roll
placed in the resident's hand at all times. She said the aide was ultimately responsible for cutting the
resident's fingernails, but she should have cut them when she saw they were too long . She said the
possible negative outcome would be altered skin integrity and infection.
During an interview on 02/13/23 at 11:10 AM, CNA C said she was responsible for making sure Resident
#40's fingernails were trimmed. She said the resident's nails were long and did need trimming. She said
Resident #40 was not diabetic and she was responsible for trimming the resident's nails, however she had
not trimmed the resident's nails and did not know she was supposed to. When asked if she was responsible
for ADL care for the resident, she said yes, she was responsible for ADL care and agreed trimming
fingernails was part of ADL care. She said Resident #40 had never had a handroll in her hand and she had
never been told to put a handroll in her hand. She said the possible negative outcome of not trimming the
resident's fingernails could be they could cut into the resident's skin.
During an interview on 02/14/23 at 10:04 a.m., the DON said all resident's fingernails should be kept
trimmed and her expectations were for the facility to be in compliance with ADL care. She said not trimming
the resident's fingernails could cause an alteration in their skin integrity and possible infection.
Record review of the Personal Care policy and procedures dated March 2013 indicated: .Bath-Shower .
Purpose: To cleanse and refresh the patient; and to observe the skin. Procedure: . Perform Nail Care.
