The ADON stated the CNAs weighed the residents, recorded it on paper, and then handed the results to the nurse. The ADON stated the nurses pulled the list of residents who needed to be weighed from the MAR. The ADON stated if residents were not weighed as ordered they could experience exacerbations of their problems, ultimately causing them harm. In an interview with the DON at 7:51 AM on 4/24/25, the DON stated they discovered residents were not being weighed as ordered recently. The DON stated they implemented a new policy involving a weight team that would come in on Thursdays to weigh all residents who needed to be weighed on a weekly basis. The DON stated residents received orders for weekly weights if they had heart failure, a G-tube, severe weight loss, or they were a new resident. The DON stated those residents were more prone to weight changes. The DON stated if they did not weigh residents as ordered there was potential to miss a change in the resident's condition. Record review of the facility's policy titled Weight Management, written on 01/05 and last reviewed on 09/13/24 revealed the following: Resident weights will be recorded in each resident's medical record monthly, unless specifically ordered otherwise . All weights (admission, readmission, weekly and monthly) are to be entered into the Point Click Care (PCC) weight system . All residents should be weighed on admission, readmission and monthly unless more frequent weights are deemed necessary by the clinical team.

The facility failed to ensure LVN A correctly documented Resident #11's blood pressure 16 times when she administered blood pressure altering medications (amlodipine) between 04/01/25 and 04/23/25. These deficient practices could affect residents whose records are maintained by the facility and could place them at risk for errors in care and treatment due to documentation of inaccurate information. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #2's admission record reflected an [AGE] year-old female originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with most recent admission on [DATE]. Resident #2's diagnoses included chronic combined systolic and diastolic heart failure (aka congestive heart failure- a condition in which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should and can cause fluid to build up in the lungs), essential hypertension (high blood pressure), hypotension (low blood pressure), end stage renal disease (a condition in which the kidneys have permanently lost the ability to function effectively), and dependence on renal dialysis (a process that replaces the function of the kidneys by removing blood from the body, filtering it through a machine, then returning the blood to the body). Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 15 which indicated Resident #2 was cognitively intact. Record review of Resident #2's order summary report dated 04/22/25 reflected the following orders dated 04/10/24: Amiodarone HCl tablet 200mg.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 04/23/25 at 3:04pm, LVN A stated when a resident got medications that affected blood pressure, she checked vital signs 5-10 minutes prior to administration of the medications. LVN A stated there were not any times she did not check vital signs prior to medication administration. LVN A stated the blood pressure was documented on the eMAR when the medication was administered because it would not let you click that it was administered without that documentation. LVN A stated the windows that came up for vital sign documentation were new, view prior, and n/a. LVN A stated she always put in new vital signs with medication administration. LVN A stated if a resident did not have much activity or did not move around much, they could have the same blood pressure 2 times in a row, but a resident having the same blood pressure 4 times in a row would not be normal. LVN A stated if a medication that altered blood pressure was given without checking vital signs, it could lower or raise the blood pressure to a dangerous level. LVN A stated if the blood pressure went too low, it could put the resident into cardiac arrest and they could pass away and if the blood pressure was raised too high, it could cause a stroke and cause hospitalization or death. LVN A stated when Resident #2 got back from dialysis at about 10:30am or 11:00am on 04/23/25 she checked Resident #2's blood pressure, and she did not know why the blood pressure did not show up on the blood pressure documentation page. LVN A stated she did not know why the blood pressure when she got back from dialysis was the same as the blood pressure from 11:11pm on 04/22/25. When asked about Resident #2's Midodrine administration on 04/14/25 and 04/15/25, (6 administrations) and how Resident #2's BP was exactly the same for all 6 medication administrations, LVN A stated it was not documented properly. LVN A stated she checked the blood pressure each time but if she misplaced the paper she wrote it on, she would go back and use the blood pressure she had previously documented. LVN A stated if vital signs were not documented correctly, the provider could increase or decrease a medication unnecessarily which could cause the resident's blood pressure to be unstable. LVN A stated she had not seen or heard of anyone else not checking a resident's blood pressure before blood pressure altering medications were given. LVN A stated they were in-serviced on mediation administration/documentation anytime there was a problem or a change in staff and the last one was about a month ago. In an interview on 04/23/25 at 5:48pm, the ADON stated when medications that could affect blood pressure were administered, the nurse checked the blood pressure right before giving the medication and documented in the eMAR right after administration. The ADON stated it was not acceptable to write it down on a piece of paper to document later, it was not acceptable for the nurse to not check a blood pressure prior to administration/documentation nor was it acceptable for the nurse to use prior blood pressure documentation. The ADON stated it was not normal for a resident to have the same blood pressure 2 or more times in a row. When asked about Resident #11's blood pressure documentation on the eMAR on 04/20/25, 04/21/25, 04/22/25, and 04/23/25, the ADON stated that it did not look right for his blood pressure to be the same 4 days in a row when there were no blood pressures documented on the blood pressure summary page. The ADON stated if blood pressures were not checked prior to administration of blood pressure altering medications, it could cause a dangerous drop or elevation in the resident's blood pressure which could lead to hospitalization. The ADON stated if a provider was to look at inaccurately documented vital signs, they could stop, decrease, or increase a medication unnecessarily. The ADON stated in-services on medication administration and documentation were done annually and as needed, however he did not recall when the last in- service was completed. The ADON stated his expectation was for the nurses to document accurately and timely. In an interview on 04/24/25 at 10:35am the DON stated when nurses were giving medications that could affect blood pressure, they were to check the resident's blood pressure within 5-10 minutes prior to administration of the medication.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some DON stated the nurses were to document the blood pressure on the eMAR at the time the medication was given or held, and it was important to check the blood pressure before medication administration to ensure the medication did not adversely affect the resident. The DON stated it was important to document vital signs on the eMAR so the provider did not make any unnecessary adjustments to the medication. The DON stated if a resident had a low blood pressure and a medication was given that further lowered it, or if a resident had a high blood pressure and a medication was given that would further increase it, it could lead to hospitalization or possibly death. The DON stated she expected the nurses to check vital signs within 5-10 minutes before medication administration and to document accurately at the time the medication was given. The DON stated in-services on medication administration and documentation were done at least annually and as needed and nurse skills check offs, and an in-services were done either late February or early March. The DON stated the ADON did the check offs. The DON stated this would become part of the QAPI plan and a PIP was put into place. In an interview on 04/24/25 at 11:05am, Resident #2 stated the nurses sometimes only checked her blood pressure once a day and sometimes checked it a lot. Resident #2 stated she sometimes felt tired after dialysis, but in general she felt ok. In an interview on 04/24/25 at 11:27am, the MD stated he expected the nurses to follow physician orders and check blood pressures prior to administering medications that had an effect on blood pressures. The MD stated if a resident had a low blood pressure and a medication was given that could lower it more, it could cause a precipitous drop and lead to hospitalization and if a medication to raise the blood pressure was given to a resident who already had a high blood pressure, it could lead to a hypertensive emergency, a stroke, hospitalization, or death. Record review of LVN A's Medication Pass Validation Checklist, dated 01/06/25 and signed by the ADON, reflected the following procedures were observed and no corrective actions were required: .3. Obtained necessary information to administer medications safely (BP, pulse, glucose, lab values). 9. Documented medications administered on MAR. Record review of the facility's Medication-Treatment Administration and Documentation Guidelines, dated 01/09/14 and revised 04/06/23, reflected in part: Anticipated Outcome: To provide a process for accurate, timely administration and documentation of medication and treatments.

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 establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment, and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one of 16 residents (Resident #40) reviewed for infection control practices. Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility failed to ensure the WCN wore proper PPE (gown) during wound care for Resident #40 who required enhanced barrier precautions. 2. The facility failed to ensure CNA E wore proper PPE (gown) during wound care for Resident #40 who required enhanced barrier precautions. 3. The facility failed to ensure the WCN performed hand hygiene after removing a glove during wound care for Resident #40. 4. The facility failed to ensure CNA E performed hand hygiene after removing a glove while assisting during wound care for Resident #40. These failures could place residents at risk for healthcare associated cross-contamination and infections . The findings include: Record review of Resident #40's face sheet dated 04/23/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old-male who had an original admission date of 02/04/24. Resident #40 had diagnoses which included pressure ulcer (open wound on the skin caused by prolonged pressure to specific area of the body) of sacral (a bone in the lower back) region stage 4 (full thickness tissue loss extending below the subcutaneous fat into deep tissue, muscle, tendons and ligaments), hypertension (high blood pressure), and type 2 diabetes (insufficient insulin production in the body). Record Review of Resident #40's physician orders reflected the following: Dated 4/05/25: Enhanced barrier precautions: Must wear gloves and gown for the following high-contact resident care activities: Dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, changing linens, providing hygiene, assisting with toileting, wound care, feeding tube, trach care, central line care, urinary catheter care, every day for wounds and foley.

Residents Affected - Few Enhanced barrier precautions: Must wear gloves and gown for the following high-contact resident care activities: Dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, changing linens, providing hygiene, assisting with toileting, wound care, feeding tube, trach care, central line care, urinary catheter care. During an observation of wound care on 04/23/25 at 08:57 AM revealed CNA E and the WCN did not put on the correct PPE (a gown) to perform wound care. An EBP sign was observed above Resident #40's bed which indicated a gown must be worn. During wound care, both CNA E and the WCN were observed removing a glove and placed another glove on without washing or sanitizing their hands. In an interview on 04/23/25 at 09:21 AM, the WCN stated when her glove tore, she should have taken off both gloves, washed or sanitized her hands, but instead, she took off only the torn glove and forgot. The WCN said it was important to wash or sanitize hands after removing gloves as it was a part of infection control practice and could cause cross contamination. The WCN stated infection control in-services happened frequently but could not recall the last in-service. The WCN nurse stated she should have worn a gown to prevent cross contamination since Resident #40 had a wound but just forgot. In an interview on 04/23/25 at 09:26 AM, CNA E stated she forgot to wash or sanitize her hands after removing gloves while helping during wound care. CNA E stated it was important to wash or sanitize hands to prevent resident cross contamination and infection. CNA E stated she should have worn a gown to prevent cross contamination. CNA E stated she usually did not work Resident #40's hall and just forgot. In an interview on 04/23/25 at 02:37 PM, the DON stated the WCN and CNA E should have washed or sanitized their hands to prevent infection and because it was good hygiene practice. The DON stated EBP should have been worn to prevent cross contamination since Resident #40 had a wound. The DON stated the last infection control in-service was about 3 weeks ago. Record Review of facility's Hand Hygiene policy dated 02/20/20 and revised on 02/11/22, reflected: Policy: All staff will perform hand hygiene procedures to prevent the spread of infection to other personnel, residents, and visitors. This applies to all staff working in all locations within the facility. 6. Additional considerations: a. The use of gloves does not replace hand hygiene. If your tasks requires gloves, perform hand hygiene prior to donning gloves, and immediately after removing gloves.
