F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident could safely administer a medication when one out of one sampled residents (Resident 11) did not receive an assessment or education regarding the self-administration of doxycycline (an antibiotic). Residents Affected - Few This failure could result in the resident inappropriately taking the medication resulting in overdose (taking beyond the safe amount of a medication), drug interactions (typically unwanted reaction between two medications that someone takes), or unrecognized side effects of the medication. Findings: A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Self-Administration of Medications, undated, indicated that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) should assess each resident's cognitive and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medications is safe and clinically appropriate for the resident. The policy and procedure further indicated that The IDT considers the following factors when determine whether self-administration of medication is safe and appropriate . the resident can follow directions and tell time to know when to take the medication .resident comprehends the medications' purpose, proper dosage, timing, signs of side effects and when to report these to the staff. In addition, it indicated, If it is deemed safe and appropriate for a resident to self-administer medications, this is documented in the medical record and the care plan. During a concurrent observation and interview on 06/12/24 at 3:16 PM with Resident 11, inside of Resident 11's room, a bottle of doxycycline labeled for Resident 11 was observed on the resident's bedside table. Resident 11 indicated that they have been taking the medication because I have a bacterial infection. During a concurrent observation and interview on 06/12/24 at 3:18 PM with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, at Resident 11's bedside, a bottle of Doxycycline labeled for Resident 11 was observed on the resident's bedside table. RN stated that Resident 11 takes medications by himself and that she is not aware of a care plan for the doxycycline at bedside. During an interview on 06/13/24 at 12:23 PM with the Case Manager (CM), the CM stated that residents who self-administer medication should have a self-mediation assessment and the medication should also be in their care plan. During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/13/24 at 4:13 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 11's care plan for self-administration of medication, dated 10/19/23, was reviewed. The care plan indicated that the resident could self-administer five different medications. The DON stated that medications the resident was care planned to self-administer were an inhaler [handheld device used to deliver medication to lungs to help with breathing] and vitamin, triamcinolone cream [cream applied to skin to reduce redness or irritation], ketoconazole [an antifungal] . nitroglycerin [medication used to reduce chest pain]. The DON stated these were the only medications she is aware that the resident self-administers. During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/13/24 at 4:51 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), a nursing assessment for Resident 11 titled, NURSING - SELF-ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION OBSERVATION, dated 02/28/24, was reviewed.

F 0554 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the same five medications in the resident's current care plan for medication self-administration. The ADON stated that he was not aware of the resident taking Doxycycline stating, not sure how he [Resident 11] got that one. The ADON further stated that his concern for a resident self-administering a medication they were not educated on is the Resident's risk for overdose. During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/14/24 at 9:25 AM with the DON, Resident 11's care plan for self-administration of medication, updated on 06/13/24, was reviewed. The care plan included doxycycline as a self-administered medication. The DON stated that care plan was updated the day prior. The DON also stated that the resident was taking the doxycycline prior to the care plan being updated. During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/14/24 at 11:11 AM with the DON, Resident 11's medication orders, dated 06/14/24, was reviewed. The medication orders did not indicate that the resident is taking doxycycline. The DON stated that since the resident is self-administering doxycycline, the medication should be there [in the list of medication order] but it is currently not.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to have a valid copy of a resident's Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST, a written medical order that assists people in making decisions about medical treatment and life saving measures during end-of-life care or medical crisis) when one of twelve sampled residents (Resident 47) had a POLST lacking a clear signature or identity of who the POLST was discussed with. This failure has the potential to result in a resident's end-of-life choices not being honored. Findings: A review of Resident 47's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 04/30/24, indicated that Resident 47 was admitted in April of 2024. It further indicated that the resident has a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a cognitive screening tool) score of 13 (scores of 0-7 suggest severe cognitive impairment, 8 to 12 suggests moderate cognitive impairment, and 13 to 15 suggest that cognition is intact). A review of Resident 47's POLST, dated 04/27/24, indicated that To be valid a POLST form must be signed by (1) a physician, or by a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant .and (2) the patient or decisionmaker.' During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/14/24 at 11:23 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 47's POLST, dated 04/27/24, was reviewed. In a section of the POLST asking if the information was discussed with the Patient or Legally Recognized decision maker, neither option was chosen. The DON stated that the section is blank stating, there's nothing there. When asked whether the resident or a decision maker signed the POLST, the DON stated, I don't know there are two signatures I can't understand. When asked if there is a printed name of either a patient or the legally recognized decision maker, the DON stated, it's missing the name. The DON further stated, it's incomplete because there is no name.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the required Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage, Form CMS-10055 (SNF ABN, Form Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services-10055 - a written notice used to inform the resident/beneficiary of potential financial liability for the non-covered stay and the right to appeal to receive care and services which may not be covered by Medicare) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 32) receiving Medicare Part A services. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential for residents and/or resident representative not being aware of the financial liability and the right to appeal for the denial or termination of resident's Medicare Part A services. Findings: Review of Resident 32's admission record indicated, was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including orthopedic aftercare following surgical amputation of right lower extremity, non-pressure wound on left calf, type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), and end stage kidney disease. The admission record also indicated Resident 32 is responsible for himself and his own decision maker. Review of Resident 32's SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review form indicated, Medicare Part A Skilled Services started on 5/12/24 and last covered day was 5/31/24. The form also indicated the facility initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A when benefit days were not exhausted. During an interview on 6/14/24 at 9:28 AM, the Case Manager (CM) stated, Resident 32 reached his maximum potential and saving the remaining Part A days for his upcoming surgery. The CM stated that a NOMNC CMS 10123 (Notification of Medicare Non-Coverage - is a CMS approved form delivered to the resident/beneficiary receiving covered skilled nursing services) was provided to Resident 32 before the last covered day. Review of the NOMNC issued to Resident 32 indicated, Resident 32 signed the form on 5/30/24. During a follow up interview on 6/14/24 at 9:56 AM, the CM stated Resident 32 was not provided with the SNF ABN because he went to dialysis on the day it was supposed to be issued. During concurrent interview, the CM called the previous Social Services Director (SSD) to confirm that a SNF ABN was not issued to Resident 32. During a concurrent telephone interview, SSD stated she was not able to issue Resident 32 with the SNF ABN because he was out for dialysis that day, I miss it. During further interview, the CM stated that SNF ABN along with the NOMNC, is provided to residents discharged from skilled services (Medicare Part A) and stayed at the facility. Review of the CMS document titled Form Instructions Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (SNFABN) Form CMS-10055 (2018), indicated, . Medicare requires SNFs to issue the SNFABN to Original Medicare, also called fee-for-service (FFS), beneficiaries prior to providing care that Medicare usually covers, but may not pay for in this instance because the care is: not medically reasonable and necessary; or considered custodial. The SNFABN provides information to the beneficiary so that s/he can decide whether or not to get the care that may not be paid for by Medicare and assume financial responsibility.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin within the required timeframes in one out of one sampled resident (Resident 8) when Resident 8 reported hip pain that was later diagnosed as a pathological fracture (a break in the bone because of disease rather than physical trauma). This failure has the potential to result in delayed identification and investigation of possible harm occurring from abuse. Findings: A review of Resident 8's face sheet (summary of resident's demographic and admitting information), dated 06/14/24, indicated that Resident 8 was initially admitted on January of 2024 with multiple diagnoses including END STAGE RENAL DISEASE [failure of the kidneys to function properly], ANEMIA [lack of healthy blood cells], and MUSCLE WASTING AND ATROPHY [thinning or loss of muscle] A review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 05/08/24, indicated that Resident 8 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a cognitive screening tool) score of 8 (scores of 0-7 suggest severe cognitive impairment, 8 to 12 suggests moderate cognitive impairment, and 13 to 15 suggest that cognition is intact).

The DON recalled that the resident was complaining of pain and an X-ray was done. The DON further stated that at the time the pain was reported, Resident 8 had not fallen or preformed an activity that could explain the pain. When asked if she would consider this complaint of pain on 04/16/24 as an unusual occurrence, the DON stated of course. In addition, the DON stated yes when asked if this event should have been reported to the California Department of Public Health, but she does not see any nursing notes related to a report being made. A review of an interdisciplinary team (IDT) note for Resident 8, dated 04/18/24, indicated that On 4/16/24 . LN [Licensed Nurse] notified MD [Medical Doctor] that resident was experiencing right hip pain . The resident had no recollection of any recent falls or injuries, no presentation of any signs and symptoms of psychosocial or emotional distress; no skin discoloration or visible skin trauma was noted on the right hip and surrounding area .Per further investigation and interview staff who cared for the resident prior to the transfer and several days before, staff observed no falls or receive reports of fall or apparent injuries during their shift .the interdisciplinary team deemed the resident's injury as likely a spontaneous (pathological) fracture.

During concurrent observation and interview on 6/12/24 at 12:32 PM, in resident's room, LVN 3 checked the O2 concentrator and confirmed the flowmeter showed Resident 29 was receiving O2 at 3 LPM via NC per concentrator. LVN 3 immediately lowered Resident 29's O2 at 2 LPM and stated, it (O2) should be at 2 LPM. Review of Resident 29's care plan for oxygen initiated on 4/14/24 and revised 6/11/24, indicated, Resident requires the use of oxygen continuous related to acute respiratory failure, COPD . Intervention: Administer oxygen at 2L via NC . Educate the resident on the importance of keeping oxygen on and at the prescribed setting . 3. Review of Resident 16's admission record, indicated, was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body) following a stroke affecting right dominant side, aphasia (a language disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate), and vascular dementia (a brain damage caused by multiple strokes). During an observation on 6/12/24 at 9:53 AM, in resident's room, a sit-to-stand lift/standing lift (specialized medical devices designed to assist individuals with limited mobility in transitioning from a seated to a standing position) and a blue colored sling was observed by the foot of the bed. The RNA assisted Resident 16 to sit on the edge of the bed, put on the blue sling, moved the sit-to-stand lift close to the bed and wheelchair. The RNA then began to transfer Resident 16 from bed to wheelchair by herself. During an interview on 6/12/24 at 10:02 AM, the RNA stated, Resident 16 required two persons assist with transfer, two person assist but since I'm used to him I can do it by myself.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to update a care plan after an interdisciplinary team (IDT) assessment when one of twelve sampled residents (Resident 41) with care plans had a body weight that was beyond the recommendation from their care plan. This failure has the potential to result in the clinical staff not recognizing significant changes in weight due to a difference in care planned goals versus those decided by an interdisciplinary team. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/13/24 at 9:48 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 41's care plan for nutrition, initiated on 05/14/24, was reviewed. The care plan indicated a focus of Nutritional Risk: Resident has the potential for altered nutrition and/or hydration status related to medical diagnosis . The DON reviewed the care plan and stated that Resident 41's goal was to maintain a body weight within 5% of 195 pounds (lbs). During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/13/24 at 9:48 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 41's most current body weight record, dated 06/04/24, was reviewed. The body weight record indicated that Resident 41 was 182.8 lbs on 06/04/24. The DON stated that this weight is below 5% of 195 lbs. During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/13/24 at 10:59 AM with the Consultant Registered Dietician (RD), an IDT note for Resident 41, dated 05/30/24, was reviewed. The note indicated that the IDT was due to a weight variance as Resident lost 8.6lb [pounds] . The IDT further stated, Recommend to continue with current plan-weight loss may be partially r/t [related to] dx [diagnosis of] CHF [congested hear failure, a condition in which the heart does not pump as well]. The RD stated that based on this IDT, weight loss was acceptable. During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/13/24 10:59 AM with the RD, Resident 41's care plan for nutrition, initiated on 05/14/24, was reviewed. The care plan indicated Resident 41's goal to maintain a body weight within 5% of 195 pounds (lbs). The RD verified that the IDT's interpretation of the weight loss does not coincide with the care planned weight goals stating, I should update the care plan. The RD further stated that rather than 5% variation in weight, the resident would better benefit from a goal based on body mass index (BMI, a value calculated based on a someone's height and weight) stating potentially I should use BMI instead of weights.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent (5%). During the medication pass on 6/11/24, three medication errors were observed out of twenty-six opportunities for two out of four residents, resulting in an error rate of 11%. This failure had the potential to result in more than minimal harm in the health and safety of residents. Residents Affected - Few Findings: A review on 6/11/24 of the facility's policy, titled Administering Medications, indicates that the individual administering medication must verify the resident's identity prior to dispensing medication. Accepted methods of identification include checking photo identification via the medical record, and, if necessary, seeking verification of resident identification from other facility personnel. During an observation on 06/11/24 at 9:36 AM Registered Nurse 1 was observed preparing medications for Resident 10. The nurse attempted to identify Resident 10 by asking for her name; however, Resident 10 did not speak English. RN 1 did not speak Resident 10's language. RN 1 then proceeded to administer medications without seeking further verification of the resident's identity. During an interview with RN 1 on 06/11/24 at 10:15 AM, RN 1 stated that she did not identify the patient by photograph because no picture had been taken of RN 1. She further explained that when she attempted to communicate with the resident, the resident was unable to speak English, which prevented her from verifying the resident's identity before administering medications. A review of the manufacturer's instructions for MiraLAX indicates that the medication should be administered with 4 to 6 ounces of fluid and taken immediately after mixing. Waiting too long before consuming the mixture can cause it to thicken, potentially leading to choking. It is crucial to follow the recommended dosage and administration guidelines provided by the manufacturer to ensure safety and efficacy. During an observation on 06/11/24 at 9:36 AM, Registered Nurse 1 administered MiraLAX mixed with 4 ounces of fluid to Resident 10. The resident consumed approximately half of the mixture and then left the remaining portion on the bedside table. It was visually apparent that some solute had settled at the bottom of the glass, indicating the presence of the medication. The remaining medication was not consumed during the entire medication pass, and after the medication pass ended the medication was left at bedside. During an interview conducted at 10:20 AM on 06/11/24, Registered Nurse 1 stated that she had not observed Resident 10 consume the entire glass of MiraLAX. She acknowledged that, at the end of the medication pass, approximately half a glass of the mixture was left at the resident's bedside. The nurse further admitted that in the future, she would ensure that the entire dose is consumed or remove any remaining medication at the end of the medication pass. According to the Flonase package insert, prior to administration, patients should blow their nose. The proper technique involves holding one nostril closed while inserting the medication into the other nostril. Patients should then inhale deeply through their nose and exhale through their mouth to ensure optimal delivery and absorption of the medication. Adhering to these instructions can help maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and minimize potential side effects.

F 0759 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an observation at 9:49 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 administered Flonase to Resident 36. However, the resident did not blow their nose before administration, and their nostrils were not closed alternately during the process. Instead, both nostrils remained open while each received one spray, with the resident breathing through their nose. This observation indicates that the administration did not fully adhere to the recommended guidelines for optimal Flonase administration. Residents Affected - Few During an interview conducted on 06/11/24 at 10:10 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 acknowledged that he did not instruct Resident 36 to blow their nose before administering Flonase. He also admitted that he had not directed the resident to close one nostril while inhaling the medication through the other, nor did he advise the resident to exhale through their mouth following administration.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility did not ensure safe food handling practices when jewelries were worn during food handling, when two kitchen staff observed wearing yellow bracelets on both arms during food preparation and handling. This failure can result in food contamination, when it touches food products. Findings: During the initial tour of the kitchen, on 6/11/24, at 9:30 AM, observed CDM(Certified Dietary Manager), with yellow bracelets in both arms and kitchen [NAME] wearing yellow bracelets in both arms while preparing food for lunch. During an interview on 6/11/24 at 11 AM, with CDM, and Cook, CDM stated, I know, we took them out now. We Indians feel bare if we don't have anything on our arms. Sorry, but its out now.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Based on observation, interview, and document reviews it was found that the facilities' Quality Assessment Performance Improvement (QAPI) program was ineffective. Despite its purpose to proactively identify and prevent medication administration errors, it fell short. This was evident during a medication pass observation conducted during the survey, which revealed a concerning 11% medication error rate (See
F759). Findings Based on observation, interview and document reviews (See deficiency under F759) the facility was found to have a medication error rate of 11% during a medication pass on 06/11/24 between the times of 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM, which exceeds the acceptable threshold of 5%. This rate was derived from observing three errors out of twenty-six medication administration opportunities involving two of four residents. Such a high error rate poses a risk to the residents' health and safety. The first error involved a failure to properly identify Resident 10 before administering medication. Registered Nurse 1 attempted to verify the resident's identity by asking for her name, but the resident did not speak English, and the nurse did not seek further verification. Consequently, the medication was administered without confirming the resident's identity, contrary to the facility's policy requiring photo identification or verification from other staff. The second error pertained to the administration of MiraLAX to the same resident by the same nurse. Although MiraLAX should be consumed immediately after mixing with 4 to 6 ounces of fluid, the resident only drank half and left the rest on the bedside table, where the medication settled and was not fully consumed. The nurse admitted she had not ensured the entire dose was taken or removed the leftover medication. The third error involved the improper administration of Flonase to Resident 36. Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 did not follow the correct procedure, which includes the patient blowing their nose beforehand and closing one nostril while inhaling the spray into the other. Instead, the resident inhaled the medication with both nostrils open and without the proper breathing technique. The nurse acknowledged these mistakes and expressed a commitment to adhere to proper procedures in the future. During an interview on 6/11/24 at 3:30 PM an interview was conducted with four members of the Quality Committee: the Director of Staff Development, the Assistant Director of Nursing, the Director of Nursing and the Administrator. During the interview, it was discovered that the quality committee members had attended only a single meeting within the past year. Additionally, the interviewed members could not recall any specific discussions or topics pertaining to medication errors that took place during that meeting. During this interview, it was also noted that they had not identified any recent issues related to medication pass observations. Furthermore, they did not have a sufficient ongoing performance improvement project specifically aimed at addressing medication errors that showed a measurable improvement in reducing medication errors. The Quality Committee members acknowledged the need for improvements in the medication administration process. They expressed concern over the survey results, which indicated a medication error rate of 11%.

Device care, for example, urinary catheter . 3.PPE supplies such as gowns and gloves may be placed near or outside the resident's room . Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement and maintain its infection control program for two of two sampled residents (Resident 32 and Resident 34) on transmission-based precautions (specific protections used when a someone has an infection that could be spread easily) when: 1. Resident 32 did not have personal protective equipment (PPE, equipment used to minimize exposure to a hazard) directly outside of the room. 2. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 did not wear full PPE when handling the urine collection bag (Foley bag) of Resident 34, who's on enhanced barrier precautions (EBP- refer to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities). Additionally, the PPE cart for Resident 34, was placed next to his roommate and not in his care area. Failure to implement infection prevention practices has the potential to result in increased spread of a communicable disease or infectious bacteria to staff and other residents. Findings: 1.
