Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure a preadmission
screening and resident review (PASARR) was accurately completed for 1 (Resident #105) of 3 sampled
residents reviewed for PASARR requirements.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
A facility policy titled, admission Criteria, revised March 2023, indicated, 9. All new admissions and
readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD)
per the Medicaid Pre-admission and Resident Review (PASARR) process. a. The acute hospital performs a
Level I PASARR screen for all potential admissions, regardless of payor source, to determine if the
individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID or RD. b. If the level I screen indicates that the individual may meet
the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II
(evaluation and determination) screening process. (1) The admitting nurse notifies the social services
department when a resident is identified as having a possible (or evident) MD, ID or RD. (2) The social
worker is responsible for making referrals to the appropriate state-designated authority.
An admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident #105 on 12/11/2024. According to the
admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included diagnoses of bipolar disorder and
generalized anxiety disorder.
Resident #105's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of
12/18/2024 revealed the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which
indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS revealed the resident had active diagnoses of anxiety
disorder and bipolar disorder.
Resident #105's Care Plan, revealed a focus area, initiated 12/12/2024, that indicated the resident was at
risk for changes in behavior due to diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Additionally,
Resident #105's Care Plan revealed a focus area, initiated 12/12/2024, that indicated Resident #105 had
the potential for side effects, complications, or adverse reactions related to ordered use of Seroquel (an
antipsychotic medication) related to bipolar disorder.
Resident #105's Level I PASARR, dated 12/12/2024, revealed Section III - Serious Mental Illness reflected
that the resident did not have a serious diagnosed mental disorder such as depressive disorder, anxiety
disorder, panic disorder, schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder, or symptoms of psychosis, delusions,
and/or mood disturbance, was not suspected to have a mental illness, and had not been prescribed
psychotropic medications for a serious mental illness.

Resident #105's Level I PASARR screening results letter from the state agency, dated 12/12/2024, revealed
the resident's Level I screening was negative for a serious mental illness, and a Level II screening was not
required.
During an interview on 02/12/2025 at 2:47 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident #105's Level
I PASARR did not reflect the resident's mental illness diagnoses or psychotropic medication use. The DON
stated that because the resident's Level I PASARR was inaccurate, the results were negative, and a Level II
determination was not required. The DON stated she expected all PASARRs to be reviewed for accuracy
upon admission.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control was
maintained to prevent the development and/or transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1
(Resident #313) of 8 residents reviewed for infection control. Specifically, the facility failed to dispose of an
intravenous (IV) catheter used to administer IV fluids to Resident #313.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
During an interview on 02/13/2025 at 8:21 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated IV catheter should be
discarded immediately in a sharps container (a puncture resistant container with leak-resistant sides and
bottom and a tight-fitting lid with an opening not large enough for a hand to enter).
An admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident #313 on 02/04/2025. According to the
admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included diagnoses of encephalopathy and
altered mental status.
Resident #313's Care Plan revealed a focus area initiated on 02/09/2025 that indicated the resident was at
risk for dehydration. Interventions directed to staff to administer IV fluids per physician orders (initiated
02/09/2025).
Resident #313's Progress Note, dated 02/07/2025 at 2:31 PM, revealed a registered nurse (RN) on duty
started IV hydration for the resident at 2:30 PM via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line in the
right upper arm.
Resident #313's Progress Note, dated 02/09/2025 at 10:10 PM, revealed Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
#5 documented that at 6:00 PM, she found the resident's peripheral IV line out.
An observation on 02/10/2025 at 12:38 PM of Resident #313 revealed an exposed IV catheter and
bandage was attached to a bag of IV solution that was hanging from an IV pole.
During an interview on 02/10/2025 at 12:44 PM, LVN #4 revealed Resident #313 was supposed to be
receiving IV fluids for severe dehydration but pulled out their IV line the night before. LVN #4 stated she was
waiting for an RN to place a new IV line. She stated she did not know why the IV line was still hanging on
the IV pole or why the IV catheter was still attached.
During an interview on 02/13/2025 at 7:56 AM, LVN #5 revealed she was the nurse on duty on 02/09/2025
when Resident #313's IV catheter came out. She stated she could not recall whether she placed the IV
catheter on the IV pole while waiting on an RN to assess the resident.
During an interview on 02/13/2025 at 8:01 AM, RN #6 revealed he was working on another unit during the
night shift of 02/09/2025, when he was notified that Resident #313's IV catheter came out while
repositioning the resident. RN #6 stated he assessed Resident #313's IV site and looked to see if he could
insert another IV catheter. He stated he did not notice the IV setup on the pole and thought the LVN had
already discarded the items. He stated all used IV supplies should be discarded immediately in a white bin
with a blue top in the medical room behind the nurse's station.
During an interview on 02/13/2025 at 8:09 PM, RN #7 revealed he was on duty during the night shift on
02/09/2025 into the morning of 02/10/2025; however, he only recalled checking Resident #313's

catheter became dislodged.

was made aware Resident #313 had pulled out their IV catheter the night before and was awaiting a new IV
catheter placement. The ADON stated the used IV catheter should not have been left in the room because
it posed a concern for bloodborne infections to others who may come into contact with the used IV catheter.
During an interview on 02/12/2025 at 10:45 AM, the Director of Staff Development/Licensed Vocational
Nurse, who was also the Infection Preventionist, stated the IV catheter and dressing should have
immediately been discarded in a sharps container. She stated leaving the IV catheter attached to IV tubing
posed a risk for bloodborne infection transmission to residents or staff who may come in contact with the
items.

expected the IV catheter to be discarded immediately in a sharps container.
During an interview on 02/13/2025 at 8:32 AM, the Administrator stated she was made aware Resident
#313's IV catheter was left in the resident's room when it was dislodged. The Administrator stated she
expected IV tubing and catheters to be placed in a sharps container immediately because it posed a risk for
infection and safety issues for residents and staff because of bloodborne pathogens.
