Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a plan of care was developed and
implemented for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) addressing Resident 1's laceration (a wound
that occur when skin or muscle is torn or cut open) on the forehead.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in an infected laceration that could pose as a threat to
Resident 1's overall health and wellbeing.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (Face sheet), the face sheet indicated Resident 1 was
admitted at the facility on 7/12/2024 with a diagnosis that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), hypertension (a blood
pressure [force it takes for blood to circulate in the body] higher than normal) and dementia (a condition
when the loss of cognitive function such as thinking, remembering and reasoning interferes with a person's
daily life and activities).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized assessment and care screening
tool, dated 2/16/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was forgetful, made inconsistent decisions and was
understood by staff. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required partial/ moderate assistance with one-person
assist (helper does less than half the effort) to complete the resident's' activities of daily living such as
toileting, personal hygiene, dressing and transferring from bed-to-chair and vice-versa.
During a review of Resident 1's SBAR (Situation Background Assessment Recommendation)
Communication Form dated 2/29/2024 at 11:38 p.m., the SBAR Communication Form indicated Resident 1
was found sitting on top of the floor pad beside his bed in his room on 2/29/2024 at 8:03 p.m. with swelling
and a laceration to his forehead.
During a review of Resident 1's comprehensive care plans, there were no care plans indicating a specific
goal and interventions directed to address Resident 1's sustained laceration after an unwitnessed fall.
During an interview on 3/21/2024 at 4:32 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), LVN 4 stated for
every resident change of condition, there must be a care plan formulated for continuous monitoring and
evaluation such as of Resident 1's laceration.

During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Quality of Care revised 8/2009, the P/P
indicated each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances quality care. The P/P
indicated quality health care can be defined in many ways but there is growing acknowledgement that
quality health services should be:
1. Effective - providing evidence-based healthcare services to those who need them.
2. Safe - avoiding harm to people for whom the care is intended; and
3. Resident-centered - providing care that responds to individual preferences, needs, and values.
To realize the benefits of quality health care, health services must be:
1. Timely - reducing waiting times and sometimes harmful delays.
2. Integrated - providing care that makes available the full range of health services throughout the life
course.
3. Efficient - maximizing the benefit of available resources and avoiding waste.
