Provide specialized rehabilitative services by qualified personnel, when ordered for a resident by a doctor.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that rehabilitation services were
rendered in accordance with federal regulations for one of two sampled residents (Resident 48), when
Resident 48 received physical therapy (PT- a treatment focused on improving movement, mobility, and
physical function) and occupational therapy (OT- a therapy aimed at helping individuals perform daily
activities and improve functional independence) services without a physician's order.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in uncoordinated and ineffective care, which could negatively impact
Resident 48's rehabilitation and overall treatment plan.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 48's admission Record (clinical record with demographic information), the
admission Record indicated, Resident 48 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of acute
pulmonary edema (condition where fluid suddenly builds up in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe), and
muscle weakness.
During an observation on June 3, 2025, at 12:48 PM in the gym (Rehabilitation Room), the physical
therapist assistant (PTA) assisted Resident 48 with sitting to standing transfers. The PTA provided verbal
instructions, guiding Resident 48 through the movement. Resident 48 was able to stand and maintain
balance while holding both hands on the front-wheeled walker (FWW, a mobility aid with two wheels
designed to provide support and stability while walking).
During an observation on June 5, 2025, at 10:18 AM at the gym, the occupational therapist assistant (OTA)
guided Resident 48 through two sets of 10 exercises, raising both arms up and down. The OTA provided
verbal instructions throughout the session. Resident 48 successfully completed the exercises.
During a concurrent record review and interview on June 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM, the Director of Rehab
(DOR), the DOR reviewed the PT and OT evaluation and treatment plan, which indicated, . Certification
period [a designated timeframe during which a healthcare service or treatment is authorized and meets
regulatory or professional standards] of 5/12/25 [May 12, 2025] - 6/10/25 [June 10, 2025] . The DOR
confirmed that Resident 48 is currently receiving PT and OT services.
A review of Resident 48's clinical records of active physician orders was conducted. There was no
documented evidence of a physician's order for PT or OT treatment. Additionally, there was no documented
evidence that a physician had been notified of Resident 48's PT and OT services. (Resident 48

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to safeguard residents' confidential information
for one of three sampled residents (Resident 50) when Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 4) left the computer
screen containing Resident 50's medical information unattended and visible to others on June 4, 2025.
This failure resulted in Resident 50's clinical records to be exposed to anyone and had the potential for an
unauthorized person to access the information.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 50's admission Record (patient demographics), the admission Record
indicated Resident 50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included, fibromyalgia (a
chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain and other symptoms such as fatigue, muscle stiffness,
and insomnia), cardiomegaly (a condition where the heart is larger than normal), acute respiratory failure
with hypoxia (a condition where the respiratory system fails to adequately oxygenate the blood).
During an observation on June 4, 2025, at 6:08 AM, LVN 4 entered room [ROOM NUMBER] to administer
medication to a resident in bed C, leaving the computer screen up and unattended, in the hallway, with
Resident 50's information visible to others.
During an interview on June 4, 2025, at 6:15 AM, with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated, I usually minimize or close the
screen, I've been a nurse for ten years, so I've picked up a lot of bad habits. You caught me on that.
During an interview with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN), on June 4, 2025, at 7:38 AM, the RN stated
her expectation is when staff need to walk away from the computer, staff must either change the screen or
close the computer screen.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on June 4, 2025, at
8:40 AM, the DON reviewed the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Safeguarding of Resident
Identifiable Information, revised December 19, 2022, the P&P indicated, It is the facility's policy to
implement reasonable and appropriate measures to protect and maintain the safety and confidentiality of
the resident's identifiable information and to safeguard against destruction or unauthorized release of
information and records . 7. Computer screens showing clinical record information may not be left
unattended and readily observable or accessible by other residents or visitors. The DON acknowledged
LVN 4, Should not have done that, and the policy was not followed.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 maintain a sanitary and safe environment for
one of three residents (Resident 2) on enhanced barrier precaution (EBP - Enhanced Barrier Precautions,
infection control measures, specifically focused on reducing the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms
(MDROs)) when a License Vocational Nurse (LVN 3) did not perform hand hygiene after contact with
Resident 2's foley catheter (a thin, flexible tube used to drain urine from the bladder).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for cross contamination and infection (the process by which bacteria or other
microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another, with harmful effect)
which can jeopardize the health and safety of Resident 2.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (contains patient demographics), the admission Record
indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included hypertension
(elevated blood pressure), type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia (a condition where body cannot
produce enough insulin), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a group of lung diseases
characterized by airflow obstruction and limited lung capacity) , protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition
characterized by a deficiency of both protein and energy) dysphagia, oropharyngeal phase (difficult
swallowing).
During an observation on June 2, 2025, at 10:40 AM, with LVN 3, in Resident 2's room, there was sign at
the door that indicated Resident 2 was on EBP. LVN 3 was wearing gloves and touching Resident 2's foley
catheter tube and bag. LVN 3 then removed the gloves and handshake Resident 2, then walked out of the
room without performing hand hygiene towards the nurse's station.
During an interview on June 2, 2025, at 10:47 AM, with the LVN 3, LVN 3 stated, Oh sorry, next time, I will
sanitize my hands. The LVN 3 acknowledged the resident is in EBP.
During a concurrent interview and record review with Infection Preventionist (IP), on June 3, 2025, at 2:45
PM, the IP reviewed the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions, revised
on March 10, 2025. The P&P indicated 4. High-contact resident care activities include: . g. Device care or
use: .urinary catheters. The IP stated, for resident on EBP the expectation is for staff to perform hand
hygiene after touching foley catheter and after removing gloves. The IP further stated when residents had
foley, staff needs to wear appropriate PPE (PPE- personal protective equipment such as gloves and gown)
and wash hands.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on June 3, 2025, at
4:31 PM, The DON reviewed the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Hand hygiene, revised on
December 12, 2022. The P&P indicated, All staff will perform proper 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 task requires gloves, perform hand hygiene prior to donning gloves, and immediately after
removing gloves. The DON stated his expectation is for staff to wear appropriate PPE and to wash hands.
