F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to develop and implement an individualized care plan for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). * The facility failed to develop and implement an accurate care plan for Resident 1 to address the use of a PICC line. This failure posed the risk for Resident 1 having developed complications associated with the PICC. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Plan dated 12/2017 showed it is the policy of the facility to develop, in conjunction with the resident and resident representative, the comprehensive resident care plan. The care plan is directed toward achieving and maintaining optimal status of health, functional ability, and quality of life. The care plan becomes a comprehensive tool for the IDT to utilize as a reference for identified concerns and approaches to establish guidance for meeting resident individual needs. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 8/19/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 1's medical record showed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with a PICC line located on his right upper arm. Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 7/3/24, showed Resident 1 had the right upper arm PICC with slight swelling. On 8/19/24 at 1532 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2. Review of Resident 1's care plan title Potential for Infection related to the right upper arm PICC line, initiated by RN 2 on 7/5/24, showed to change the catheter site dressing as ordered and to measure the PICC line external catheter length and upper arm circumference as ordered. RN 2 reviewed Resident 1's medical record and verified the facility failed to obtain an order to change Resident 1's catheter site dressing and to measure the PICC external catheter length and upper arm circumference. RN 2 verified Resident 1's medical record also failed to show documentation the resident's catheter site dressing was changed and failed to show documentation measurements were obtained specific to his PICC external catheter length and upper arm circumference, while Resident 1 resided in the facility (from 7/3/24 through 7/7/24).

F 0694 Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the PICC line assessments were conducted and documented, failed to ensure the PICC unused lumens were flushed, and failed to conduct and document a change of condition assessment for the resident who exhibited pain and swelling at the PICC site for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). These failures posed the risk for not identifying and treating potential complications associated with the PICC line, as evidenced by Resident 1 having sustained an occlusive right axillary deep vein thrombosis. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Central Access Guidelines and Procedures (undated) showed an occlusive dressing shall be maintained over the central venous access site at all times. The PICC dressings shall be changed every seven days from date of insertion. The PICC catheter dressing changes shall be done every seven days and as needed. Document the (resident's) arm circumference in centimeters on the treatment record prior to dressing change, (and) compare to measurement from admission. Also document the arm circumference after dressing change is complete. The arm circumference should be measured 8-10 centimeters above the antecubital. Assess the device insertion site, and observe for the following: skin breakdown, bleeding or exudate at insertion site, erythema, redness, swelling, leaking connections, and note the amount of the catheter from the insertion site. Review of the facility's P&P titled Change of Condition dated 2016 showed the purpose of the Change of Condition policy is to appropriately assess, document, and communicate changes of condition to the primary care provider. To provide treatment and services to address changes in accordance with resident needs. Procedure includes to document assessment findings and communications as soon as practical. To notify the resident and/or responsible party of current status and subsequent actions/orders. 1. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 8/19/24.

F 0694 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few stated thereafter, the PICC insertion site was assessed every shift by a licensed nurse and documented in the resident's medical record. Additionally, RN 1 stated the baseline assessment included obtaining a measurement of the resident's arm circumference. RN 1 stated subsequent measurements of the resident's arm circumference were then compared to the baseline measurement to detect possible catheter associated venous thrombosis. RN 1 stated the arm circumference measurements were documented in the resident's medical record. Furthermore, RN 1 stated a measurement of the PICC external catheter length was obtained upon admission. RN 1 stated subsequent measurements were then compared to the baseline measurement to ensure the PICC line remained in place. Finally, RN 1 stated the unused PICC lumens were to be flushed at a minimum every 12 hours, which was documented in the resident's medical record. RN 1 was then asked to review Resident 1's medical record specific to the assessment and maintenance of Resident 1's right upper arm PICC line. RN 1 was asked to show documentation the facility implemented the protocol (in which RN 1 described) for Resident 1's right upper arm PICC line.
