F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate treatment and services were provided for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) when, Residents Affected - Few a. Resident 1 needed to be suctioned (secretions from the mouth and throat are removed with a device for individuals who are not able to swallow or clear their own secretions) and the suction machine was not present at his bedside; and, b. Resident 1's change in condition was not assessed and reported to the physician in a timely manner. These failures placed Resident 1 at risk for aspirating (when liquid or solids are inhaled and may cause breathing difficulty and pneumonia), and his condition to be unrecognized and untreated. Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in October 2021 with diagnoses included End Stage Renal Disease (irreversible kidney failure), Dysphagia (trouble swallowing) following a stroke, and Hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body). A review of Resident 1 ' s Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), dated 6/2/23, indicated, Medical Interventions: if person has pulse and/or is breathing. Comfort Measures only: Relieve pain and suffering through the use of medication by any route, positioning, wound care and other measures. Use oxygen, suction, and manual treatment of airway obstruction as needed for comfort. Transfer to hospital only if comfort needs can not be met in current location. A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 8/23/24, indicated Resident 1's cognitive (memory) skill for daily decision making was severely impaired. Review of Resident 1 ' s hospital record, History and Physical, dated 8/16/24, indicated Resident 1 was, sent from [name of facility] for altered mental status. He appeared lethargic today.
