LN 36 stated there were no communication tools available to speak to Resident 49, such as a communication board (a tool that uses pictures, symbols, or text to help people express themselves) or a language translation line (a phone service that facilitates communication between individuals speaking different languages) to help staff communicate with a resident. LN 36 stated we look for someone who spoke the same foreign language or call the family member (FM) when we need to communicate with Resident 49 .On 7/21/2025 at 9:12 A.M., an interview with Resident 49's FM was conducted. The FM stated she translated English to the foreign language for Resident 49. The FM translated for Resident 49 who stated that she would like different items for breakfast as she had been getting cereal, fruit and milk every day for the past week despite her choices, which frustrated her. Resident 49's FM translated that Resident 49 stated that she did not understand what the staff were telling her. Resident 49 stated there were times when the facility did not provide a translator. Resident 49 stated to her FM that most of the time she was alone, and she could not get her needs met. On 7/23/25 at 8:42 A.M., an interview was conducted with LN 2. LN 2 stated Resident 49 spoke a foreign language and did not speak English. LN 2 stated she did not speak the resident's foreign language but could ask simple questions.

This failure had the potential to cause contractures (stiffening of muscles), decreased ROM, and decreased mobility.Findings: Resident 32 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnosis which included stroke and quadriplegia (paralysis below the neck that affects all of a person's limbs), as per the facility's Resident Face Sheet. Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P,) dated 4/24/25, indicated Resident 32 did not have the capacity to make decisions. Per the H&P, Resident 32 was dependent on the facility staff on her activities of daily living (ADLs, basic tasks a person does to take care of oneself, like eating). A review of Resident 32's minimum data set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 6/6/25 indicated Resident 32 had functional limitations in ROM on her upper and lower extremities and that Resident 32 was dependent on staff. A review of Resident 32's physician orders dated 3/1/24 and 8/30/24 indicated the following:- RNA Training program for PROM to prevent bilateral knee contractures three times a week.- RNA to provide Passive ROM (PROM, a staff does the ROM to the resident) to the right upper arm extremities three times a week as tolerated. On 7/21/25 at 9:43 A.M., an observation of Resident 32 was conducted in her room. Resident 32's upper extremities were exposed. Resident 32 did not respond when her name was called. Resident 32's right hand was observed to be in a closed fist with her right thumb extended. On 7/22/25 at 3:40 P.M., an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 22. CNA 22 stated he was familiar with Resident 32. CNA 22 stated Resident 32 had right side body weakness and was on RNA. CNA 22 stated Resident 32 was dependent on staff for her ADLs. CNA 22 stated he did not see RNA treatment in the afternoon shifts. On 7/23/25 at 9:47 A.M., a concurrent review of Resident 32' clinical record and an interview was conducted with RNA 22. RNA 22 stated Resident 32 had right side body weakness and was scheduled to receive PROM of her upper and lower extremities three times a week. RNA 22 stated Resident 32's RNA treatment was scheduled in the morning shift on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. RNA 22 stated the RNAs documented the amount of time and the resident's response to treatment when Resident 32 received her RNA treatment. On 7/23/25, a review of Resident 32's RNA treatment program from 6/1/25 to 7/24/25 was conducted. The treatment record indicated Resident 32 missed seven treatments in June 2025 (6/5, 6/12, 6/14, 6/17, 6/19, 6/26 and 6/28) and five treatments in July 2025 (7/3, 7/5, 7/8, 7/14, and 7/19). On 7/24/25 at 10:20 A.M., a follow- up interview was conducted with RNA 22. RNA 22 stated Resident 32 refused RNA services on some days. RNA 22 stated when the residents missed their RNA services, the RNAs responsibility was to document in the resident's clinical record as refused. RNA 22 stated she did not know why Resident 32 missed some days of RNA services.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its antibiotic stewardship program when two sampled residents' (Resident 33 and 39) infections and antibiotic use was not monitored and reviewed June and July 2025.As a result, Resident 33 and 39 were both on antibiotics without verification of a stop date. This potentially excessive use of antibiotics had the potential to contribute to antibiotic resistance (when bacteria or other microorganisms evolve to become resistant to the drugs designed to kill them) in the facility. Findings: Residents Affected - Few 1.A review of Resident 33's Resident Face Sheet indicated the resident was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Unspecified dementia (a disease affecting cognition and memory), severe, with agitation. A review of Resident 33's physician orders, dated 6/13/25, indicated an order for nitrofurantoin macrocrystal (antibiotic) 100 milligrams (mg) one capsule once a day for UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) Prophylaxis with no stop date. 2. A review of Resident 39's Resident Face Sheet indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include urinary tract infection (UTI). A review of Resident 39's History and Physical dated 6/6/25, indicated the resident was in the hospital from [DATE] through 6/3/25, and .For presumed urinary tract infection, the patient was treated with Rocephin [antibiotic].The patient's Rocephin was completed after a 5-day course on 6/1/25 and the patient was restarted on penicillin [antibiotic]. It was suspected that the patient had osteomyelitis [bone infection] of the left second toe. The patient's urine culture on May 27, 2025 showed over 100,000 colony- forming units of Klebsiella pneumoniae [type of bacteria] which was resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, and cefuroxime [types of antibiotics] but susceptible to Rocephin, ceftazidime, Augmentin, ciprofloxacin and Bactrim [types of antibiotics]. The patient is currently asymptomatic. A review of Resident 39's physician order dated 6/3/25, indicated the resident was to receive penicillin tablet 500 milligrams twice a day, .No end date at this time.Dx [diagnosis] urinary tract infection, site not specified. A review of Resident 39's written care plan for Infections dated 6/5/25, indicated, Resident has prophylactic antibiotics related to chronic UTI * and osteomyelitis left second toe * Penicillin. Long term goal.Urinary tract infection will resolve On 7/24/25 at 8:30 A.M., an interview was conducted with license nurse (LN) 35. LN 35 stated Resident 39 was taking penicillin for a UTI, toe infection, and pneumonia. LN 35 reviewed Resident 39's physician order for penicillin and stated it was to treat a UTI. LN 35 stated Resident 39 did not have any signs and symptoms of a UTI while he resided at the facility. LN 35 stated there should have been a urinalysis done since he was admitted to determine if the resident had an active UTI and needed to continue taking the penicillin. On 7/24/25 at 8:40 A.M., an interview and record review was conducted with LN 36. LN 36 reviewed Resident 39's clinical record and stated there was no documentation the resident had a UTI or sign and symptoms of a UTI while in the facility.

F 0881 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few was in the facility to determine if the resident had a UTI. LN 36 reviewed Resident 39's History and Physical dated 6/6/25 and stated it was unclear why the resident was taking penicillin. LN 36 stated Resident 39's order for penicillin did not have a clear reason for there to be no stop date. LN 36 stated the penicillin order did not indicate it was prophylaxis or to treat the resident's toe. LN 36 stated the order should have been clarified with the physician to determine if a stop date for the penicillin was appropriate. LN 36 stated antibiotics given indefinitely without a stop date could contribute to antibiotic resistance. On 7/24/25 at 2 P.M., an interview and record review was conducted with the infection preventionist (IP). The IP reviewed Resident 39's physician order for penicillin and stated it needed a stop date. The IP stated, I need to call the MD [medical doctor]. We need to take him off [the penicillin] since there's no signs and symptoms of UTI. The IP stated penicillin was not appropriate for prophylaxis as it could lead to antibiotic resistance. The IP then reviewed Resident 33's clinical record and stated the resident's nitrofurantoin did not have a stop date and the indication for use was UTI prophylaxis. The IP stated Resident 33's nitrofurantoin should have had a stop date. The IP further stated he was unable to perform the oversight of the antibiotic stewardship program in June 2025 to current (7/24/25) as he was dealing with an outbreak in another area of the building (not the skilled nursing facility). The IP stated the antibiotic stewardship should have taken place and the resident's antibiotic without a stop date should have been identified and clarified with the physician. The IP stated not conducting the antibiotic stewardship program could lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms. On 7/24/25 at 2:24 P.M., a telephone interview was conducted with the facility's pharmacist consultant (PC). The PC stated for residents to continue taking antibiotics without a stop date, there should be a valid reason from the MD documented in the residents' clinical record. The PC stated antibiotics given without a stop date could lead to antibiotic resistance. On 7/24/25 at 3:35 P.M., an interview was conducted with the director of nursing (DON). The DON stated physician orders for antibiotics should be reviewed for a stop date and clarified with the MD with a valid reason documented in the clinical record to continue taking them indefinitely. The DON stated Resident 33 and Resident 39's antibiotics without a stop date should have been identified by the antibiotic stewardship program. The DON stated the antibiotic stewardship program should have been ongoing no matter what was going on in other parts of the building. The DON stated antibiotics given without a stop date may lead to antibiotic resistance. According to the World Health Organization's online article titled Antimicrobial Resistance Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae- Global Situation, dated 7/31/24, .Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a Gram-negative, bacteria.[it] is a leading cause of infections acquired in health-care institutions globally and has been considered an opportunistic pathogen.Two main types of antibiotic resistance have been commonly identified: one mechanism involves the expression of enzymes known as extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), which render bacteria resistant to the following antibiotic groups: penicillins.
