Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a certified nursing assistant was able
to demonstrate competency in skills and techniques for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when
a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 1) did not report Resident 1's redness on the nose to a licensed nurse.
This failure had the potential to result in delayed treatment and care for Resident 1, placing Resident 1 ' s
health at risk.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), the
admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of malignant
neoplasm of the stomach (stomach tumor), malignant neoplasm of unspecified kidney (kidney tumor) and
repeated falls.
During a concurrent observation and interview on September 5, 2024, at 9:58 AM, with Resident 1, in
Resident 1 ' s room, Resident 1 was lying in bed. Resident 1 ' s bed was in the lowest position. Resident 1
had redness on her nose, appearing like flushing on her nose. Resident 1 stated she did not know how she
got it.
During an interview on September 11, 2024, at 1:47 PM, with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she noticed the
redness but did not report it to the licensed vocational nurse (LVN 1) or the registered nurse (RN). CNA 1
further stated she was busy and forgot to tell the licensed staff.
During an interview on September 11, 2024, at 2:08 PM, with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated he saw the redness on
Resident 1 ' s nose but stated he believed it had already been identified due to Resident 1 ' s behavior of
hitting her face. LVN 1 further stated it was his expectation for the CNA ' s to report any skin changes.
During an interview on September 11, 2024, at 2:16 PM, with RN, the RN stated he was not informed until
later that Resident 1 had redness to her nose. The RN further stated Resident 1 when asked about her
nose, Resident 1 could not state what happened to her nose. The RN stated it is his expectation for the
staff to report any changes with the residents.
