Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three residents reviewed for
dignity was provided care in a manner that promoted dignity and respect when resident was instructed to
urinate (to excrete urine) on the diaper (Resident 178).
As a result, the residents' self-esteem and self-worth was devalued.
Findings:
Resident 178 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including need for assistance with
personal care according to the facility's admission Record.
During an observation and interview on 7/30/24, at 8:57 A.M., Resident 178 was in bed and stated the
morning staff told her to, Go ahead and pee on the diaper and I'll change you.
During another interview with Resident 178 on 8/1/24, at 9:32 A.M., Resident 178 stated she felt, Terrible
when she was told to urinate in the diaper. Resident 178 further stated she did not know if the person was a
certified nurse assistant (CNA) or a licensed nurse (LN).
An interview was conducted on 8/1/24, at 9:43 A.M. with CNA 11. CNA 11 stated Resident 178 used the
bedpan and was continent with urination. CNA 11 further stated a bedpan was offered to residents who
were not able to walk.
An interview was conducted on 8/1/24, at 2:18 P.M. with CNA 12. CNA 12 stated if a resident requested to
go to the bathroom, the resident will be assisted right away. CNA 12 further stated if the resident had a wet
diaper, this would create skin irritation, redness and smell.
During an interview on 8/2/24, at 12:59 P.M. with the Director of Nurses (DON), the DON stated residents
should not be told to urinate in the diaper. The DON stated residents were admitted to the facility for
rehabilitation and to restore previous activity of daily living (ADL- basic tasks of everyday life). The DON
further stated it was demeaning for a resident to be told to urinate on the diaper.
A review of an undated care plan for Resident 178 indicated, ADL Self-Care Performance Deficit. At risk for
altered ADL self care performance r/t (related to) requires assist .toileting .Provide appropriate self
performance and support needed during ADL care .

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
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 re-evaluate one of three residents (Resident 23) reviewed
for Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR- a federal requirement to prevent individuals
with mental illness [MI], developmental disability [DD], intellectual disability [ID], or related conditions from
being inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 23 to not receive necessary mental health care services in an
appropriate healthcare setting.
Findings:
Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (a
mental health disorder with combination of hallucinations or delusions and mood disorder symptoms, such
as depression or mania) according to the facility's admission Record.
An interview and joint record review was conducted on 8/1/24, at 2:30 P.M. with the case manager (CM).
The CM stated the PASARR Level I was completed at the hospital prior to admission to the facility. The CM
stated the admissions staff notified her if a resident was negative or positive for PASSAR Level I (a nursing
facility preadmission evaluation to ensure that their residence is appropriate and to identify what specialized
services they may need). The CM stated a resident review was completed within 30 days for new residents
to determine if a PASARR Level II (an evaluation to confirm an individual's MI or DD and requirement for
specialized services) was needed. The CM showed a calendar of PASARR resident reviews for residents.
Resident 23 was not on the calendar for the month of July 2024. The CM stated a PASARR Level I resident
review should have been completed at the facility because Resident 23 had a diagnosis of schizophrenia
and was taking an antipsychotic medication.
During an interview with the Director of Nurses (DON) on 8/2/24, at 12:59 P.M., the DON stated Resident
23's PASARR should have been re-evaluated. The DON further stated she expected the case manager to
review PASARRs from the hospital for residents to receive proper care and to coordinate a different
placement if needed.
A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Preadmission Screening Resident
Review (PASRR) was reviewed. The P&P indicated, .If a recipient is found to be mentally ill or mentally
retarded, the screening helps determine whether NF (nursing facility) care is appropriate or whether the
recipient needs specialized services .

Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
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 provide services which met professional
standards of practice for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 47) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 47 was using a left-hand splint (a device to help immobilize and prevent contractures) without a
Medical Doctor's (MD) order.
2. Resident 47 did not have an MD order for triamcinolone ointment (a prescribed skin cream to treat skin
associated irritation such as rash) and left open at Resident 47's nightstand table.
Cross Reference F761 and F813
This failure had the potential for Resident 47 to suffer complications for an unmonitored left hand splint and
potential for anaphylactic (life threatening allergy) reactions from triamcinolone side effects.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 47's clinical record indicated Resident 47 was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
which included a history of hemiplegia (one sided muscle weakness) and hemiparesis (inability to move
one side of the body) following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side (a brain attack known as
a stroke that stops blood flow to the brain causing left sided weakness and movement to the body).
A record review of Resident 47's minimum data set (MDS: a nursing assessment tool) dated 7/11/24,
indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- developed by reviewing the resident's mental status
during the prior seven-day period) score of 15 points out of 15 possible points which indicated Resident 47
had no cognitive (pertaining to memory, judgement, and reasoning ability) deficits.
A record review on 7/31/24 at 8:29 A.M., on Resident 47's care plan was conducted. Resident 47's care
plan initiated on 4/17/22 indicated resident 47 was on, RNA (restorative nursing assistant: a program
performed by a rehab nursing staff) 3x/week (three times per week) for RUE (right upper extremities
[arms/hands]), PROM (passive range of motion) and RNA 3x/wk for LE (lower extremities) PROM. There
was no MD order for splint use or monitoring.
On 7/31/24 at 10:13 A.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 47, in Resident 47's
room. Resident 47 was lying in bed with his left hand on a hand splint. Resident 47 stated that the nursing
staff would put the splint on him, Once in a while. Resident 47 demonstrated being able to lift and move his
right side extremities in and out, up and down motion and then stated, I can only move my right side and
paralyzed on the left side. Resident 47 required help with staff for most of his care needs.
On 8/1/24 at 9:46 A.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 47, in Resident 47's
room. Resident 47 stated that the nursing staff (an RNA) had put his left-hand splint on him yesterday and
took it off after 2 hours. Resident 47 was observed with the left hand splint on during the interview.

On 8/1/24 at 2:12 P.M., an interview and record review was conducted with RNA 1. RNA 1 stated she was
the RNA that applied Resident 47's left hand splint. RNA 1 stated that she did not chart the use of Resident
47's left hand splint because Resident 47 did not have MD orders and therefore was not able to indicate the
times Resident 47's hand splints were on including the duration. RNA 1 stated that any splints would
require a MD orders and that it was not in her scope of practice to evaluate and get an order.
Residents Affected - Few
On 8/1/24 at 2:57 P.M., an interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Staff
development (DSD). The DSD stated that all splints need MD orders. The DSD stated that it was important
to have an MD order for splint use, To prevent any error such as monitoring safety to prevent further
complications from immobilization (to reduce or eliminate motion) from splint use, and to monitor for
swelling, and contractures. The DSD reviewed Resident 47's clinical record and stated that Resident 47 did
not have an MD order. The DSD stated that RNA 1 should not have applied a splint to Resident 47's left
hand without an MD order. The DSD further stated that the proper order was for RNA 1 to inform the
licensed nurse or nurse supervisor regarding the splint use, and as clinically indicated, obtain orders for
rehabilitation department to evaluate for splint use and then obtain an MD order.
On 8/2/24 at 9:24 A.M., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated
that all devices such as Resident 47's hand splint needed an MD order.
A record review was conducted of the facility's policy and procedure. The facility's undated policy and
procedure titled SPLINT APPLICATION indicated, .Procedure .1. A resident is referred to therapy by either
the doctor or nursing to determine if a splint is needed .
2. Review of Resident 47's clinical record indicated Resident 47 was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
which included a history of hemiplegia (one sided muscle weakness) and hemiparesis following cerebral
infarction affecting left non-dominant side (a brain attack known as a stroke that stops blood flow to the
brain causing left sided weakness and movement to the body).
A record review of Resident 47's minimum data set (MDS: a nursing assessment tool) dated 7/11/24,
indicated a BIMS score of 15 out of 15 possible points which indicated Resident 47 had no cognitive
(pertaining to memory, judgement, and reasoning ability) deficits.
On 7/30/24 at 9:19 A.M., an observation was conducted in Resident 47's room. Resident 47's nightstand
table to the left side was cluttered with personal items that included an uncapped and fully squeezed
triamcinolone ointment located on the nightstand table next to Resident 47's plastic wrapped sandwich in
an opened container.
On 7/31/24 at 10:21 A.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 47, in Resident 47's
room. The triamcinolone ointment was still placed on Resident 47's left nightstand table. Resident 47 stated
that the triamcinolone ointment was applied on him, but he did not know what it was for.
On 8/1/24 at 9:46 A.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 47, in Resident 47's room. Resident 47
stated that the nursing staff had placed his albuterol inhaler (medication to help that relieves breathing
difficulties caused by lung disease) and the triamcinolone ointment on top of the nightstand so that it was
easily accessible for when Resident 47 needed it.

A record review was conducted on 8/1/24 at 11:50 A.M., on Resident 47's MD orders. There was no
treatment orders for Triamcinolone and/or an evaluation conducted on Resident 47 for a self-medication
assessment for the use of triamcinolone.
On 8/1/24 at 1:34 P.M., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with licensed nurse (LN) 1,
in the west wing nursing station. LN 1 stated that any treatments used for skin are considered medications
and need MD orders. LN 1 stated that treatment creams and/or ointments (semi- solid, greasy substances
used on the skin) should be stored in a safe and sanitary (clean) manner in the treatment cart. LN 1
reviewed Resident 47's clinical record and stated Resident 47 was not evaluated for self-administration for
triamcinolone ointment nor was there a current MD order. LN 1 stated that Resident 47's triamcinolone
cream should not have been left out in the open on top of his nightstand and should have been discarded
properly since there was no treatment order for the triamcinolone ointment. LN 1 stated that it was
important to have a current MD order for Resident 47 to prevent any allergic reactions.
On 8/1/24 at 2:57 P.M., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Staff

This deficient practice had the potential for unresolved infection.
Findings:
Resident 177 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including peritoneal abscess (collection
of pus in the body below the abdomen between the hip bones) and sepsis (the body's extreme and
life-threatening response to an infection) according to the facility's admission Record.
During an observation and interview on 7/30/24, at 8:42 A.M. with Resident 177, Resident 177 was sitting
on a wheelchair and showed a tube with an accordion bulb connected to a drainage bag. Resident 177
stated the drain was due to an abscess and the staff did not properly took care of it. Resident 177 stated it
has been two days that the accordion bulb was not squeezed (squeezed - to apply suction to drain the
fluid). The accordion bulb was observed with small amount of brown fluid, and the accordion bulb was not
squeezed.
On 7/31/24, at 12:27 P.M. Resident 177 was sitting up in the wheelchair. The drainage tube was observed
hanging on Resident 177's left side with accordion bulb which was not squeezed.
During a review of physician's orders (POS) for Resident 177, the POS with start date of 7/24/24 indicated,
.IR Drain insertion site Site: Left buttocks monitor for drainage, pain and s/sx (signs and symptoms) of
infection until healed .
During an interview on 8/1/24, at 10:32 A.M. with licensed nurse (LN) 14, LN 14 stated Resident 177 had a
drain on the left buttock due to diverticulitis (small and inflamed pouches that forms in the wall of the large
intestine), and the treatment nurse provided care of the drainage tube.
During an interview on 8/1/24, at 1:34 P.M. with the treatment nurse (TN), the TN stated she changed
Resident 177's drainage tube site dressing, then squeezed the accordion bulb for fluid to drain. The TN
further stated the accordion bulb must be squeezed to create suction and drain fluid.
On 8/1/24, at 1:41 P.M. an interview was conducted with LN 11. LN 11 stated she covered for the TN when
TN was off. LN 11 stated she flushed Resident 177's drainage tube and covered the site with a dressing.
LN 11 stated the drain worked by gravity and the accordion bulb did not have to be squeezed. LN 11 further
stated the accordion bulb was squeezed only upon emptying of the drainage bag.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 8/1/24, at 1:48 P.M. with LN 16. LN 16 read the
progress notes from the hospital dated 7/22/14 for Resident 177. The progress notes indicated, . drainage
of deep pelvic abscess .catheter placed to accordion bag drainage . LN 16 stated Resident 177's drainage
tube with accordion bulb should be squeezed at all times to create negative pressure on the tube and drain
the abscess from the site. LN 16 further stated if the accordion was not squeezed, the fluid remained inside
the resident's site of infection which defeated the purpose of Resident 177's use of an antibiotic to clear the
infection.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to store foods in a safe and sanitary manner
according to their facility's policies and procedure for outside foods brought by family and visitors for two out
of seven residents (Resident 59 and Resident 47) reviewed for food preference and homelike environment
when:
Residents Affected - Few

Cross reference F880
2. Resident 47 had three unlabeled food items with a brownish yellow banana, placed on top of a cluttered
emesis basin, plastic wrapped chocolate pastries on top of a plastic container and a sandwich in an open
plastic container unsecured without a lid at the bedside.
This failure had the potential to attract pests (insects and rodents that carry harmful bacteria or viruses that
could be passed on to humans), spoilage (the process in which food or other substances stop being good
enough to eat or use) of food and risks of foodborne illnesses from food consumption.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 59's clinical record indicated Resident 59 was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
which included a history of hemiplegia (one sided muscle weakness) and hemiparesis (inability to move
one side of the body) following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side (a brain attack known as
a stroke that stops blood flow to the brain causing left sided weakness and movement to the body).
A record review of Resident 59's minimum data set (MDS: a nursing assessment tool) dated 6/3/24,
indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- developed by reviewing the resident's mental status
during the prior seven-day period) score of 15 points out of 15 possible points which indicated Resident 47
had no cognitive (pertaining to memory, judgement, and reasoning ability) deficits.
On 7/30/24 at 9:26 A.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 59. Resident 59 had a
mesh bag that contained oranges and apples in a clear plastic bag beside fresh flowers on the nightstand
to her right. Resident 59 stated she liked fruits and that her daughter had brought over the oranges and
apples about a week ago and had been placed there for easy access for when she craved them.
On 8/1/24 at 9:34 A.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 59. Resident 59 stated

Resident 59's bedside because the fruits needed to be refrigerated and should have been discarded since
it had been over a week and not stored properly to prevent spoilage and consumption to prevent food borne
illnesses. A record review was conducted with LN 1 regarding neutropenic (a decrease in white blood cells
that help fight off infection) precautions (unwashed fruits and fresh flowers may contain harmful bacteria
[tiny organisms found everywhere] and fungi [mold] that is harmful for people with neutropenia) for Resident
59's room. LN 1 stated Resident 59 was not on neutropenic precautions, but her roommate was on
neutropenic precautions as to why the sign posted outside of Resident 59's room prior to entry. LN 1 stated
that fruits and fresh flowers that were kept in Resident 59's room could potentially compromise Resident
59's roommates health because the room should not have fresh flowers or fruits due to the roommate's
poor immune system to fight off infection.
On 8/01/24 at 2:57 P.M., an interview was conducted with the Director of Staff Development (DSD). The
DSD stated Resident 59's fruits should have been stored in the personal items' refrigerator for residents' [all

her expectations were for visitors to be informed regarding the facility's policies and procedures for bringing
outside food and for the nursing staff to properly store the food items at the right temperature to prevent
spoilage and to prevent foodborne illnesses from consuming spoiled foods. The DON stated that Resident
59's roommate was on neutropenic precautions and having fresh fruits and flowers should not be allowed in
the room to prevent infection from harmful bacteria and mold that can grow on fruits and plants.
