F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately notify one (Resident 39) sampled residents' physician and representative or family member of the significant weight loss of seven pounds in a month and 24 pounds in six months. This deficient practice had the potential to denied Resident 39's necessary treatment options and his representative the rights to be informed. Findings: Review of the Significant change in status-Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment screening tool used to guide care), dated 8/10/21, indicated Resident 39 had limitations in upper and lower extremities, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and foot. Resident 39 required set up help with eating. Resident 39 had weight loss and was not on a physician-prescribed weight loss program. Resident 39's diagnoses included Non-Alzheimer's dementia (a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life) and Parkinson's Disease (a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors). Review of the weights summary dated 1/2/22, Resident 39 weighed 163.2 pounds, and on 2/3/22, weighed 156 pounds with a significant weight loss of seven pounds in a month. Further review indicated on 8/2/21, Resident 39 weighed 180.5 and on 2/3/22 weighed 156 pounds with significant weight loss of 24 pounds in six months. During an interview on 3/8/22 at 9:23 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the physician and resident representative were not notified of Resident 39's significant weight loss of 7 pounds in a month and 24 pounds in six months. The facility's policy and procedure titled, Change of Condition dated August 2017, indicated It shall promptly notify the resident, his or her attending physician, and representative of changes in resident's medical condition. The Director of Nurses and /or its designee shall be responsible for implementation and enforcement of this policy.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to conduct an annual comprehensive Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) for one sampled resident (Resident 2) as required. This deficient practice had the potential to result in the lack of assessment of the residents' needs, strengths, and goals of care. Findings: Review of Resident 2's MDS assessment Section A indicated an annual (comprehensive) assessment was due 1/14/22. Resident 2's MDS Assessment Reference Date (ARD, the last day of the observation period that the Resident assessment covers) was 1/14/22, but was completed on 3/1/22 (46 days after the Assessment Reference Date). During an interview on 3/11/22 at 9:32 a.m., the Licensed Vocational Nurse/MDS coordinator (MDS 1) stated the MDS assessments were late because the facility did not have a full time MDS coordinator. During an interview on 3/11/22 at 10:08 a.m., MDS 2 stated according to the RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) policy, assessments should be completed 14 days after the date of assessment. MDS 2 further stated the facility did not have an MDS Coordinator during the assessment period. During an interview on 3/11/22 at 9:13 a.m., the Administrator (Admin) stated he was aware of the late MDS assessments. Admin stated the facility had a part-time Licensed Vocational Nurse to assist with the MDS. The facility's policy and procedure titled, Late & Missed Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment dated May 2019, indicated the facility shall adhere to RAI Manual assessment schedules as required by federal and state agencies. The annual/comprehensive MDS assessments should be completed 14 days after the ARD.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 191) received supplemental oxygen according to the physician's order. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in Resident 191 receiving more supplemental oxygen without a physician's order. Findings: During an observation on 3/8/22 at 10:15 a.m., in Resident 191's room, Resident 191 was seen sitting in bed receiving oxygen at three liters per minute via nasal cannula (a device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy) from an oxygen concentrator (medical device that gives extra oxygen). During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/9/22, at 12:21 a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1 in Resident 191's room, the oxygen concentrator was delivering three liters of oxygen per minute to Resident 191 via nasal cannula. RN 1 confirmed the oxygen concentrator was set to deliver three liters of oxygen per minute because the rate could be titrated (changed based on resident's response). A review of Resident 191's Orders, indicated a PRN (as needed) order dated 2/9/22 for, O2 (oxygen) at 2 l/min (liters per minute) NC (nasal cannula) for SOB (shortness of breath).

Seroquel not approved for use in psychotic conditions related to dementia. Although causes of death varied, most of the deaths appeared to be related to cardiovascular e.g. heart failure, sudden death}. [Reference: https://www.drugs.com/pro/seroquel.html].

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper labeling of medications for two of six sampled residents (Residents 18 and 23) when nasal spray and inhaler (medication inhaled into lungs through the mouth) were not labeled with the resident's name. This failure had the potential to result in medication being used on another resident and cross-contamination (transfer of bacteria from one person, object, or place to another). Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/10/22 at 8:30 a.m., with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, at South Hall medication cart, Resident 18's Fluticasone nasal spray (relieves allergy symptoms) bottle was labeled, 1A. Resident 23's Alvesco inhaler (to reduce swelling of the airways) had no label. LVN 1 indicated, only room numbers are placed on nasal sprays and inhalers and there is a risk of cross contamination if these medications are not labeled correctly and given to the wrong resident. During an interview on 3/10/22, at 10:07 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), DON indicated, medications should be labeled with resident name and room number and if medications get mixed up and are administered to a different resident it could spread disease.

Licensed nurse picked up a medication pill with bare hands and placed the pill inside a medication cup and administered it to Resident 34. 2. Licensed nurse placed Fluticasone (medication sprayed into nose to relieve symptoms of allergies such as runny nose and sneezing) nasal spray bottle into the scrub uniform pocket to transport and administered it to resident 18. 3. No tuberculosis (TB- infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs) screening was done for high-risk resident upon admission (Resident 191). These failures had the potential to spread infectious diseases to facility residents. Findings: 1. During an observation on 3/10/22, at 8:49 a.m., at the South Hallway medication cart, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) removed a pill from the packaging and dropped it on top of the medication cart and picked it up with bare hands. LVN 1 then placed the pill inside of a medication cup and administered the pill to Resident 34 to swallow. During an interview on 3/10/22, at 8:51 a.m., LVN 1 stated she does not usually drop pills, but it is hard to get them out of the packaging sometimes and she just did hand hygiene. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines, dated 9/18, the P&P indicated, .hands are washed with soap and water and gloves applied prior to handling tablets . 2.
