A review of Resident 80's clinical record indicated Resident 80 was admitted August of 2022 and had diagnoses that included sequelae of cerebral infraction (aftereffects of stroke which can include various impairments, such as cognitive deficits, speech and language difficulties, and movement problems), muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle mass and strength), diabetes mellitus and major depressive disorder (persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life). Residents Affected - Few A review of Resident 80's MDS, Cognitive Patterns, dated 1/30/25, indicated Resident 80 had a BIMS score of 13 out of 15 which indicated Resident 80 had an intact cognition (mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review of Resident 80's MDS Functional Abilities and Goals, dated 1/30/25, indicated Resident 80 required substantial/maximal assistance with upper body dressing and personal hygiene, was dependent on toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear, and needed setup or clean-up assistance with eating and oral hygiene. A review of Resident 80's care plan intervention, dated 8/22/22, indicated, Assist with daily hygiene, grooming .as needed During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/21/25 at 10:15 a.m. with Resident 80, in Resident 80's room, Resident 80 had long fingernails with grayish substance underneath the fingernails. Resident 80 stated he wanted his fingernails to be trimmed and cleaned because they were not comfortable. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/21/25 at 10:50 a.m. with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1, in Resident 80's room, CNA 1 confirmed that Resident 80 had long fingernails with grayish substance underneath the fingernails. CNA 1 stated she would expect that Resident 80's fingernails to be trimmed and cleaned to prevent possible infection. During an interview on 4/22/25 at 9:48 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated that residents' nail care was an implied task for nurses to monitor every day and to provide the care as needed. The DSD also stated that if a resident has diabetes, the nurses will do the nail care or if the nails were too long or too complicated, it should be referred and done by a podiatrist. The DSD further stated that if a resident has long fingernails, it would be a risk for skin injury and possible infection. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/22/25 at 11:43 a.m. with the SSD, the list of podiatry referrals was reviewed. The SSD stated the podiatrist would visit the facility every 62 days and the last scheduled visit was on 2/28/25.

F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm referred for fingernail care. The SSD further stated that either the CNA or nurse could refer the resident to her so the resident would be referred for a fingernail care visit. During an interview on 4/23/25 at 1:23 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated that she would expect that nail care for residents would be done. Residents Affected - Few A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Supporting, revised 3/2018, indicated, .2. Appropriate care and services will be provided for residents who are unable to carry out ADLs independently, with the consent of the resident and in accordance with the plan of care, including appropriate support and assistance with: a. hygiene ( .grooming .) . Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two out of 35 sampled Residents (Resident 110 and Resident 80) were assisted with nail care as part of their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs - normal daily functions required to meet basic needs) when; 1. Resident 110 had long toenails; and, 2. Resident 80 had long fingernails with grayish substance underneath them. These failures had the potential for Resident 110 and Resident 80 to have sustained a skin injury, and to possibly acquire an infection. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 110's Face Sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident). The face sheet indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (a condition where the brain does not receive enough nutrients or oxygen to function properly), type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to use insulin effectively), dermatophytosis (fungal infection of the skin that may affect skin, hair, and nails), varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with ulcer of unspecified site (type of leg ulcer that develops due to poor circulation and back pressure in the veins). During a review of Resident 110's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) Cognitive Patterns, dated 4/7/25, indicated Resident 110 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to assess cognition) score of 13 out of 15 which indicated Resident 110 had normal cognitive function (mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review of Resident 110's MDS Functional Abilities and Goals, dated 4/7/25, indicated Resident 110 was dependent on staff for shower/bathing self, required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting hygiene, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. Resident 110 required partial/moderate assistance for lower body dressing, and supervision or touching for upper body dressing. During a review of Resident 110's care plan dated 3/6/25 for skin- the care plan indicated the resident is at risk for skin breakdown related to activity intolerance due to impaired ADL ability and impaired mobility. During a review of Resident 110's care plan dated 4/11/25 for occupational therapy - resident requires skilled therapy due to ADL deficit for bathing and grooming.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/23/25 at 11:28 a.m. with Resident 110 and Licensed Nurse (LN 4) in the Residents room, Resident 110 had long toenails that were curved. LN 4 asked Resident 110 if her toenails were bothering her and Resident 110 stated that she would like them to be trimmed. LN 4 stated that because of Resident 110's diagnosis of diabetes, the podiatrist (medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg) would need to trim her nails the next time they came to the facility. During an interview on 4/23/25 at 12:18 p.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated that the podiatrist comes to the facility every two months and Resident 110 was currently not on the list. During an interview on 4/23/25 at 12:20 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), regarding long toenails, the DON stated that her expectation was that Resident 110 should see the podiatrist. Resident 110 is at risk for ingrown toenails, skin injury, and broken toenails if the toenails are not trimmed.

The facility failed to accurately document and secure emergency medications (E-kit, a sealed container of essential medications and supplies designed for immediate use in emergency situations); 2. Dispose of expired E-Kit insulin (medication used to control blood sugar) and 3. Ensure the narcotic (substance used to treat moderate to severe pain) count was correct for Resident 37. These failures had the potential for emergency medications to be unavailable when needed, the potential for not meeting the residents' therapeutic needs or worsening of their medical conditions, and potential for diversion of controlled medications. Findings: 1a. During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 11:01 a.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) an inspection of the Medbridge Medication Room was conducted. The First Dose Oral Emergency Kit [E-Kit] was observed to have a red color-coded lock. The ADON stated when the emergency kits have been opened they are resealed with a red coded lock.

The ADON was unable to provide documentation in the Emergency Kit Log what medications were taken out of the emergency kit or the dates. During an interview with the ADON on [DATE] at 9:28 a.m., the ADON stated her expectation would be for the Licensed Nurses (LN) to record the medication taken out of the Emergency Kits in the Emergency Kit Log Book and then fax the medication order form to the pharmacy to let them know the E-Kit needed to be replaced. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Emergency Pharmacy Service and Emergency Kit, revised [DATE], As soon as possible, the nurse records the medication use on the medication order form and notifies the pharmacy for replacement of the kit by transmitting the entire order for the resident and indicating that the first dose was used from the kit. The nurse flags the kit with a red color-coded lock to indicate need for replacement of kit .The nurse opening the kit also records use of the kit in the Emergency kit log book.

An emergency kit, from Omnicare (a pharmacy), containing insulin was observed in the refrigerator with an Ekit expiration date: [DATE]. The ADON indicated the facility's current pharmacy is Pacific [NAME] Pharmacy and confirmed the insulin was expired. During an interview with the ADON on [DATE] at 9:28 a.m., the ADON stated she would have expected Omnicare to have taken the E-Kit once they were no longer the pharmacy providing service and should have been destroyed. The ADON stated they switched from Omnicare to Pacific [NAME] Pharmacy a couple of months ago. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Labeling and Storage, Emergency Pharmacy Service and Emergency Kit, dated 2001, indicated, If the facility has discontinued, outdated or deteriorated medications or biologicals, the dispensing pharmacy is contacted for instructions regarding returning or destroying these item. 3.
