**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 psychotropic
medication informed consent for one of 16 final sampled residents (Resident 366) was signed by the
physician. This failure posed the risk for Resident 366 to not be informed of their care and treatment for the
psychotropic medication use.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Informed Consent Policy revised on 4/2024 showed the attending
physician, PA (Physician Assistant) or NP (Nurse Practitioner) must obtain the informed consent of the
resident or their responsible party for purposes of prescribing, ordering, or increasing an order for a
psychotherapeutic medication. The facility shall verify that informed consent has been obtained prior to the
administration of psychotherapeutic medication, use of siderails as a restraint, enabler, or assistive device
of the use of anything attached to a normal bed, wheelchair, or Geri chair. The P&P further showed it is the
responsibility of the physician, PA or NP who orders psychotherapeutic medications to obtain the resident
or the resident's responsible party's informed consent prior to the initiation of therapy.
Medical record review for Resident 366 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 366 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].

8/13/24, for trazadone (antidepressant medication, also use to treat inability to sleep) 50 mg give one tablet
by mouth at bedtime for insomnia M/B inability to sleep.
Review of Resident 366's informed consent for the use of trazadone medication showed no documented
evidence the physician signed the consent form.
On 8/28/24 at 1033 hours, a concurrent interview and facility document review with LVN 4 was conducted.
LVN 4 verified Resident 366's informed consent for the trazadone medication did not have a physician's
signature. LVN 4 stated a physician's signature was needed on an informed consent for the trazadone
medication to indicate the physician reviewed the medication with the resident and approved of the order.
On 8/29/24 at 1340 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the informed
consent had to be signed by the physician. The DON stated the informed consent allowed the facility to
administer the medication as ordered. The DON acknowledged the above findings.

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.
**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 one nonsampled
residents (Resident 43) had copy of her advance directive in her medical record. This failure had the
potential for the resident's decisions regarding her healthcare and treatment options to not be honored.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Advance Directives revised 4/2017 showed the resident or their
responsible party will be asked if the resident has completed an advance directive, and to provide a copy of
the document for the resident's clinical record.
Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 43's H&P examination dated 2/21/24, showed Resident 43 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 43 had moderately impaired
cognition.
Review of the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form prepared on 2/19/24, showed
Resident 43 had an advance directive, but it was not available in her medical record.
On 8/28/24 at 1636 hours, an interview was conducted with the Health Information Director. The Health
Information Director verified Resident 43 did not have a copy of advance directive in her medical record.
On 8/28/24 at 1645 hours, an interview with concurrent record review was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9
stated the resident's POLST dated 2/19/24, showed Resident 43 had an advance directive but no copy of
advance directive found in the resident's medical record. LVN 9 stated a copy of Resident 43's advance
directive should be in the resident's medical record because it dictated the resident's medical needs.
On 8/28/24 at 1653 hours, an interview was conducted with the SSD. The SSD acknowledged Resident 43
had an advance directive but there was no copy found in the resident's medical record. The SSD stated a
copy of the advance directive for Resident 43 should be in her medical record because it showed who the
appointed responsible party was and served as a medical guide for the resident's care and wishes.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**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 recommendations
from the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR, a federal requirement to help ensure
that individuals are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) Level II determination
was followed up and incorporated into the resident care for one of one final sampled resident (Resident 44)
reviewed for PASARR. This failure had the potential for Resident 44 not receiving the adequate care and
services that were recommended by PASARR Level II determination and evaluation report assessed by a
appropriate state-designated authority.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Planning revised 1/17 showed a comprehensive
care plan would be developed for each resident. The comprehensive care plan would provide specific
information to include resident strengths, goals, life history and preferences, discharge planning and would
be completed within seven days of the Care Area Assessment completion. The facility's P&P further
showed there would be coordination of the assessment with the Preadmission Screening and Resident
Review (PASARR).
Medical record review for Resident 44 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 44 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with a diagnosis of anxiety disorder (a type of mental health condition)
and schizoaffective disorder (chronic mental illness that causes people to experience both schizophrenia
and a mood disorder at the same time).
Review of the letter sent to Resident 44 by the Department of Health Care Services dated 3/10/23, showed
the PASARR Level II Evaluation was conducted on 3/10/23. The letter further showed the facility staff would
receive the copy of the determination report and discuss the result with Resident 44 and would incorporate
the recommendations into Resident 44's care plan.
Review of Resident 44's PASARR Individualized Determination Report dated 3/10/23, showed Resident 44
required nursing facility services due to a medical and/or mental health condition. The PASARR
Individualized Determination Report further showed special services were recommended. The report
showed the Determination Report was based on a review of Resident 44's medical and social history which
showed a significant medical condition with mental stressors that require nursing care.
Review of Resident 44's annual MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 44 was not considered by the State
level II PASARR process to have a serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or a related condition.
Review of Resident 44's H&P examination dated 3/21/24, showed Resident 44 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of the Resident 44's medical record did not show the recommendations from the PASARR
Individualized Determination Report was followed up.
Review of the Resident 44's plan of care failed to show a care plan problem addressing the
recommendations from the PASARR Individualized Determination Report.

On 8/28/24 at 1640 hours, an interview and concurrent record review for Resident 44 was conducted with
the DON. The DON verified the above findings and stated there were no documentation in Resident 44's
medical record to show the recommendations from the PASARR Level II determination were followed up.
The DON stated the recommendations indicated on Resident 44's PASARR Level II determination report
should have been addressed timely and there was a potential risk of Resident 44 not receiving the
adequate care and services.
On 8/29/24 at 1249 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 44 was
conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator stated when the Level I Screening was
positive, the Department of Health Care Services would contact the facility to conduct a Level II
Determination. The MDS Coordinator stated once the determination was complete, the results would be
uploaded into the system, and the facility would be able to view the determination results and coordinate
the recommended care and services. The MDS Coordinator stated she did not have a system to alert her to
view the Level II determination results in the system; that she was only prompted to check the PASARR
results when she conducted the annual MDS reviews. The MDS Coordinator further stated she coded
Resident 44's annual MDS dated [DATE], incorrectly when she selected no when asked if Resident 44 was

comprehensive care plans were developed to reflect the individual care needs for 13 of 16 final sampled
residents (Residents 15, 17, 20, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 45, 48, 59, and 366).
* The facility failed to ensure the comprehensive person-centered care plans for the use of grab bars were
in place for Residents 15, 17, 20, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 45, 48, 59, and 366. This failure had the potential
for residents to not be provided with appropriate, consistent, and individualized care.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Planning dated on 1/2017 showed the facility
developed a comprehensive care plan for each resident. The plan of care must include measurable
objectives and time frames and describe services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the
resident's practicable level of well-being.
During a concurrent observation, interview, medical record review, and facility document review for
Residents 15, 17, 20, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 45, 48, 59, and 366 showed the facility did not create a
comprehensive care plan for the use of grab bars. For example:
1. On 8/28/24 at 0900 hours, Resident 32 was observed lying in bed with bilateral grab bars elevated.
Resident 32 was awake alert and verbally responsive. CNA 3 verified the bilateral grab bars were elevated.
CNA 3 stated Resident 32 used the grab bars when getting up from bed and turning during the care.
Medical record review for Resident 32 was initiated on 8/29/24. Resident 32 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 32's H&P examination dated 8/2/24, showed Resident 32 had capacity to understand
and make decisions.
Review of Resident 32's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 8/1/24, for bilateral grab
bars as an enabler to assist with bed mobility, turning, repositioning, and transfers.
Review of Resident 32's care plan dated 8/2/24, did not show a comprehensive care plan was developed
for the use of the grab bars which include interventions to provide possible least restrictive approaches
prior to applying grab bars and assessment of the entrapment.
2. On 8/29/24 at 1040 hours, Resident 35's bed was observed with the bilateral grab bars elevated. LVN 3
stated Resident 35 used the grab bars when turning during care. LVN 3 attempted to move the grab bars
down; however, they were locked in place and kept elevated.
Medical record review for Resident 35 was initiated on 8/29/24. Resident 35 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care 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
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary respiratory care for three of 16 final sampled residents (Residents 15, 34, and 59) and one
nonsampled resident (Resident 55).
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 55 was administered the oxygen as per the physician's order. This
failure posed the risk to negatively affect Resident 55's medical condition.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 15's oxygen tubing was dated.
* The facility failed to ensure the oxygen tubing was placed in a clear plastic bag when not in use and the
nebulizer tubing were not touching the floor for Resident 34.
* The facility failed to ensure accurate documentation of the monitoring of Resident 59's oxygen saturation
level on room air.
These failures had the potential to put the residents at risk for adverse effects of the inaccurate
administration of oxygen and improper care of oxygen equipment.
Findings:
1. On 8/28/24 at 0920 hours, Resident 55 was observed lying in bed and receiving three liters per minute of
oxygen via nasal cannula.
On 8/28/24 at 0923 hours, a concurrent observation for Resident 55, interview and medical record review
was conducted with LVN 3. Resident 55 was observed lying in bed and receiving three liters per minute of
oxygen via nasal cannula. LVN 3 verified Resident 55 was receiving three liters per minute of oxygen via
nasal cannula. LVN 3 stated Resident 55 was sometimes administered with three liters per minute of
oxygen by the night shift nurse because the resident had difficulty of breathing at night.
Medical record review for Resident 55 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 55 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 55's Order Summary Report dated 8/28/24, showed a physician's order dated 2/29/24,
to administer oxygen at one to two liters per minute via nasal cannula continuously to keep oxygen
saturation level above 92%.
Further review of Resident 55's medical record did not show the resident had difficulty breathing at night
and the physician was informed to increase the oxygen setting to three liters per minute.
LVN 3 verified the above findings.
3. On 8/27/24 at 1005 hours, and 8/28/24 at 0929 hours, Resident 34's nebulizer machine was at the
bedside with the part of the nebulizer tubing touching the floor.

Review of Resident 59's plan of care showed a care plan problem initiated on 4/17/24, addressing Resident
59's risk for altered breathing [NAME] related to pneumonia. The interventions showed to monitor Resident
59's oxygen saturation level on room air every shift.
On 8/28/24 at 1411 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 59 was
conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 verified the above findings. LVN 5 stated the purpose of monitoring Resident
59's oxygen saturation level on room air was to see if Resident 59 would tolerate being on room air without
supplemental oxygen, and to determine the potential for weaning. LVN 5 stated the oxygen saturation level
on room air should have been documented in the MAR.
On 8/29/24 at 1425 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 59 was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated when monitoring the resident's oxygen saturation level on room
air, the staff should document the oxygen saturation level in the medical record. The DON was informed
and acknowledged the above findings. The DON stated without documentation of Resident 59's oxygen
saturation level on room air, the facility would be unable to determine if the resident would be weaned off of
from the oxygen or unable to tolerate room air.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure 13 of 16
final sampled residents reviewed for side rail use (Residents 15, 17, 20, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 45, 48, 59,
and 366) remained free from the accident hazards associated with the use of elevated side rails.
* The facility failed to ensure the accurate and complete assessments and evaluations for the grab bars use
for Residents 15, 20, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 45, 48, 59, and 366. This failure had the potential to put the
residents at risk for entrapment and serious injuries.
Findings:
The FDA issued a Safety Alert entitled Entrapment Hazards with Hospital Bed Side Rails. Residents most
at risk for entrapment are those who are frail or elderly or those who have conditions such as agitation,
delirium, confusion, pain, uncontrolled body movement, hypoxia, fecal impaction, acute urinary retention,
etc., that may cause them to move about the bed or try to exit from the bed. Entrapment may occur when a
resident is caught between the mattress and bed rail or in the bed rail itself. Inappropriate positioning or
other care related activities could contribute to the risk of entrapment.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Proper Use of Bed Rails dated on 8/2018 showed the facility to assess a
resident's risk for entrapment prior to the installation of siderails or bedrails to ensure that the bed's
dimensions are appropriate for the resident's size and weight. The facility will assess the resident's risk for
entrapment for the use of a grab bar using the facility's grab bar assessment. This policy to reduce
entrapment with the use of siderails has been developed utilizing the FDA Hospital Bed System
Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment.
1. On 8/28/24 at 0900 hours, Resident 32 was observed lying in bed with bilateral grab bars elevated.
Resident 32 was awake alert and verbally responsive. CNA 3 verified the bilateral grab bars were elevated.
CNA 3 stated Resident 32 used the grab bars when getting up from bed and when turning during care.
Medical record review for Resident 32 was initiated on 8/29/24. Resident 32 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 32's H&P examination dated 8/2/24, showed Resident 32 had capacity to understand
and make decisions.
Review of Resident 32's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 8/1/24, for bilateral grab
bars as an enabler to assist with bed mobility, turning, repositioning, and transfers.
Review of Resident 32's Restraint and Other Devices Assessment and Reduction Management Program
dated 8/1/24, showed the grab bars were selected under possible approaches in reducing restraints.
However, the assessment failed to show the possible approaches identified in the assement were effective
or ineffective prior to the use of the bilateral grab bars.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to provide the pharmaceutical services to ensure accurate reconciliation, and disposal of
medications.
* The facility failed to ensure administration of the controlled medication for Resident 66 was documented in
the controlled drug record and MAR.
* The facility failed to ensure non-controlled medications were discarded by two licensed nurses.
These failures posed the risk for diversion of medications.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Preparation and General Guidelines dated 8/2014, under the Controlled
Medications section, showed when a controlled medication is administered, the license nurse administering
the medication immediately enters the following information on the accountability record and the MAR:
- Date and time of administration;
- Amount administered;
- Signature of the nurse administering the dose on the accountability record at the time the medication is
removed from the supply; and
- Initial of the nurse administering the dose on the MAR after the medication is administered.
On 8/28/24 at 1411 hours, an inspection of Medication Cart A and concurrent interview and medical record
review with LVN 3 was conducted. Upon inspection of Medication Cart A, a bubble pack of clonazepam
(antianxiety) medication for Resident 66 was observed with 25 tablets.
Review of Resident 66's Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record for the clonazepam medication showed one
tablet of clonazepam medication was removed on 8/27/24 at 1700 hours, and the last count was 26 tablets
of clonazepam medication.
Medical record review for Resident 66 was initiated on 8/28/24. Resident 66 was admitted to the facility on

when she removed the clonazepam medication and she did not document on the MAR when she
administered the clonazepam medication to Resident 66.
On 8/28/24 at 1612 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
DON. The DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.
2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medical Waste Management revised 3/2017 showed pharmaceutical
waste which consists of hazardous and non-hazardous prescription drugs will be collected for disposal and
two nurses will dispose of non-narcotic medications.
On 8/28/24 at 0816 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with RN 1.
When asked about the disposal of the non-controlled medications, RN 1 stated two licensed nurses
removed the sticker from the bubble packs, placed them in the drug disposition record, recorded the
quantity of the medication to be disposed and then discarded the medications into a bin. RN 1 stated the
drug disposition record should be signed by two licensed nurses.
Review of the Medication Disposition Record/Pass Log showed non-controlled medications were disposed
on 8/25/24, but were only signed by one licensed nurse.
RN 1 verified the above findings.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure three of
five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Residents 15, 36, and 44) were free from the
unnecessary psychotropic medications.
* The facility failed to ensure a specific behavior manifestation was identified for Resident 15 related to the
use of divalproex (antipsychotic medication). The facility failed to ensure accurate monitoring for Resident
15's orthostatic blood pressure (measurement of the blood pressure while laying down and sitting) as
ordered by the physician related to the use of an antipsychotic medication, when the blood pressure
readings for Resident 15 had the same results for sitting and lying. In addition, the facility failed to ensure
accurate monitoring for Resident 15's meal intake related to the use of mirtazapine (antidepressant)
medication. Resident 15's meal intake monitoring documented in the MAR by the licensed nurses did not
match the meal intake monitoring documented in the POC (Point of Care) Legend Report by the CNAs.
Furthermore, the monthly behavior summary for Resident 15's poor intake did not match Resident 15's
meal intake monitoring in the MAR nor the POC Legend Report.
* The facility failed to ensure accurate monitoring for Resident 36's meal intake related to the use of
mirtazapine medication. Resident 36's meal intake monitoring documented in the MAR by the licensed
nurses did not match the meal intake monitoring documented in the POC (Point of Care) Legend Report by
the CNAs.
* The facility failed to ensure accurate monitoring for orthostatic hypotension (measurement of the blood
pressure reading while laying down and sitting) as ordered by the physician for the use of an antipsychotic
medication for Resident 44.
These failures had the potential for residents to develop significant adverse effects from the medications
and had the potential to negatively impact the residents' well-being.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Drug Treatment revised 9/2017, under the Additional
Criteria for Use of Antipsychotic Medication for BPSD (behavioral or Psychological Symptoms of Dementia)
section, showed before initiating or increasing an antipsychotic medication, the target behavior must be
clearly and specifically identified and documented. The monitoring must ensure that the behavioral
symptoms are not due to a medical condition or problem such as pain, fluid or electrolyte imbalance,
infection, side effects of medication, etc., that can be expected to improve or resolve by treating the
underlying condition, and not due to an environmental stressors that can be addressed to improve the
symptoms, and not due to psychological stressors alone that can be addressed to improve or resolve the
symptoms and persistent.
Medical record review for Resident 15 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 15's Order Summary Report dated 8/30/24, showed the following physician's orders:

d. Furthermore, review of the Psychotherapeutic Drug Summary Sheet for poor intake behavior
manifestation failed to show the number of behavior episodes were accurately monitored. For example, for
July 2024, a total of two behavior episodes were documented. This did not match the documentation of
Resident 15's meal intake of less than 50% as documented in the MAR by the licensed nurses, or in the
POC Legend Report by the CNAs.
Residents Affected - Few
On 8/29/24 at 0908 hours, an observation for Resident 15 and concurrent interview was conducted with
CNA 2. Resident 15 was observed awake in bed, touching and scratching her forehead. When asked about
Resident 15's behavior, CNA 2 stated Resident 15 was confused but was not aggressive, and had not seen
Resident 15 become angry. CNA 2 stated Resident 15 did not refuse care, and the resident would often say
do whatever you want when asked to assist her with ADL care. When asked about Resident 15's meal
intake, CNA 2 stated Resident 15 did not eat a lot and ate mostly less than 50%. CNA 2 stated when
Resident 15 ate less than 50%, she offered health shake to Resident 15 and informed the charge nurse.
On 8/29/24 at 0916 hours, an interview for Resident 15 was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 stated Resident
15 was alert but confused. LVN 3 verified Resident 15 was taking divalproex medication for bipolar disorder
manifested by mood swings. When asked what they monitored regarding the mood swings, LVN 3 stated
Resident 15 had mood swings when one day she was really happy, and then the next day, she did not want
to take two of her medications, or in the afternoon shift, she had mood changes when she became verbally
aggressive to the staff. When asked about Resident 15's meal intake, LVN 3 stated Resident 15 ate pretty
well, around 50 to 75% of the meal served.
On 8/29/24 at 0955 hours, an interview and concurrent interview for Resident 15 was conducted with the
DON. The DON was informed and verified the above findings. When asked about the Resident 15's mood
swings related to the use of divalproex medication, the DON stated Resident 15's mood swings were
related to Resident 15's angry outburst. The DON acknowledged Resident 15 was also taking risperidone
medication related to the resident's sudden angry outburst towards staff. The DON verified the target
behavior of mood swings related to the use divalproex medication was not specific. The DON verified the
orthostatic BP monitoring was not accurately monitored and stated that there should be a difference of the
resident's BP when the resident was sitting and lying. The DON also stated the orthostatic BP should only
be monitored every Sunday per the physician's order. When asked about the monthly behavior summary on
Resident 15's poor meal intake related to the use of mirtazapine medication, the DON stated the licensed
nurse tallied the behavior and the adverse reactions from documentation in the MAR. The DON verified the
behavior summary sheet did not match the MAR. The DON stated she would find a way for the licensed
nurse documentation match the CNAs' documentation of Resident 15's meal intake.
2. Medical record review for Resident 36 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 36 was admitted to the facility

Review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report dated 8/29/24, showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 2/19/24, to administer mirtazapine 15 mg one tablet by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested
by poor appetite; and
- dated 7/26/24, to monitor meal percentage less than 50%.

(antihypertensive medication) and diltiazem (antihypertensive medication) medications. This failure had the
potential to cause Resident 16 to have abnormally slow heart rate and negatively affect the resident's
health.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Preparation and General Guidelines dated 10/2017 under the Medication
Administration- General Guidelines section, showed medications are administered in accordance with
written orders of the attending physician.
On 8/28/24 at 0943 hours, a medication administration observation for Resident 16 was conducted with
LVN 5. LVN 5 prepared and administered Resident 16's medications including one tablet of metoprolol 25
mg and one capsule of diltiazem 120 mg. LVN 6 was observed not obtaining Resident 16's heart rate prior
to administering the metoprolol and diltiazem medications.
Medical record review for Resident 16 was initiated on 8/27/24. Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 16's Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders dated 9/20/21:
- To administer diltiazem 120 mg one capsule by mouth one time a day for hypertension; hold the
medication if the SBP less than 110 mmHg, or the heart rate less than 60 beats per minute; and check the
BP and heart rate prior to giving medication; and
- To administer metoprolol 25 mg one tablet by mouth two times a day for hypertension; hold the medication
if the SBP less than 110 mmHg, or the heart rate less than 60 beats per minute; and check the BP and
heart rate prior to giving medication.
On 8/28/24 at 0958 hours, LVN 5 an interview was conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 stated she forgot to check
Resident 16's heart rate. LVN 5 verified she did not check Resident 16's heart rate prior to administering
the metoprolol and diltiazem medications to the resident.
On 8/29/24 at 1044 hours, the DON was informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
infection control practices designed to provide the safe and sanitary environment and help prevent the
development and transmission of infections were implemented as evidenced by:
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure the water management program was implemented to include an assessment
of the facility water systems to identify where Legionella (a bacterium commonly found in natural and
man-made aquatic environments, warm stagnant water) and other opportunistic pathogens can grow and
spread.
* The facility failed to ensure the infection control practices were implemented in the facility's laundry room.
These failures posed the risk for transmission of communicable diseases to other residents in the facility.
Findings:

This assessment will be completed annually. The facility will determine risk areas by completing the
Building Water System Process Flowchart and implement controls and indicate where these controls are
located by completing the Control Area Monitoring Flowchart.
Review of the facility's water management program showed the Legionella Risk Assessment was last
completed on 4/19/23. In addition, the water management program failed to show documentation for the
flow diagram of the building, on how the water would flow through the building, and any areas in the
building where the water may stagnate.

According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the
term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the
space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths
and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the
bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot
boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those
who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed
system where there is a potential for entrapment are:
- Zone 1: within the rail;
- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;
- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;
- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;
- Zone 5: between split bed rails;
- Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and
- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Proper Use of Bed Rails dated on 8/2018 showed the facility to assess a
resident's risk for entrapment prior to the installation of siderails or bedrails to ensure that the bed's
dimensions are appropriate for the resident's size and weight. The facility will assess the resident's risk for
entrapment for the use of a grab bar using the facility's grab bar assessment. This policy to reduce
entrapment with the use of siderails has been developed utilizing the FDA Hospital Bed System
Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment.
Review of the facility's Siderail or Bedrail Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment dated 8/26/24,
showed check marks for Zone 1 next to the room numbers and N/A (Not Applicable) for Zones 5 and 6.
However, Zones 2, 3, 4, and 7 were left blank. In addition, the assessment failed to show resident identifiers
to indicate which room number was associated with their entrapment assessment.
1. On 8/28/24 at 0900 hours, an observation for Resident 32 and concurrent interview with CNA 3 was
conducted. Resident 32 was observed lying in bed with bilateral grab bars elevated. Resident 32 was
awake alert and verbally responsive. CNA 3 verified Resident 32's bilateral grab bars were elevated. CNA 3
stated Resident 32 used the grab bars when getting up from the bed and to assist with turning during care.
Medical record review for Resident 32 was initiated on 8/29/24. Resident 32 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 32's H&P examination dated 8/2/24, showed Resident 32 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 32's Informed Consent for a Grab Bar as an Enabler/Assistive Device dated 8/1/24,
showed Resident 32's representative gave consent to the use of the grab bars.
