Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop an individualized resident-centered care plan to
address Resident 1's physician orders for total hip precautions (restrictions for after having total hip
replacement) and use of an abductor (to position the leg away from the midline of the body) hip brace.
These failures had the potential to result in the inability to identify Resident 1's individualized care issues
and implement person-centered care.
Findings:
Review of Resident 1'sface sheet (brief summary of a resident's important information) indicated she was
admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including aftercare following joint replacement surgery, presence of right
artificial hip joint, dementia (a decline in mental capacity affecting daily function), difficulty in walking,
muscle wasting and atrophy (decrease in size).
Review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 2/11/23, indicated she had a
BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 6 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive
impairment). Resident 1 required extensive assistance (requiring staff to provide weight-bearing support)
for bed mobility (moving in bed), and toileting. Resident 1 was dependent on staff for transfers and had
impaired range of motion (the full movement potential of a joint) in the right lower extremity.
Review of Resident 1's Physician Order Sheet indicated she had a physician's order, dated 6/6/22, that
indicated, Total hip precautions: No hip flexion greater than 70 degrees, no hip adduction (movement
towards the midline of the body), no internal rotation of operative hip. These positions can cause the hip to
dislocate.
Review of Resident 1's Physician Order Sheet indicated she had a physician's order, dated 6/6/22, that
indicated, Weight bearing as tolerated. Weight bearing on the right lower extremity with hip abduction brace
when out of bed.
Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed there was no care plan initiated for Resident 1's use of the
hip abductor brace and no nursing measures put in place to monitor total hip precautions and the weight
bearing status ordered for Resident 1.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/5/23, at 1:45
p.m., she confirmed there was no care plan for Resident 1's total hip precautions, use of hip abductor
brace, and weight bearing status of Resident 1. The DON acknowledged the facility should have

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow physician orders for one of three residents (Resident
1) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. A physician order for Resident 1's use of an abduction pillow (device used to separate the legs and
stabilize the hips) was not carried out upon admission to the facility; and,
2. The facility staff failed to transcribe the physician orders for hip precautions (restrictions for after having a
total hip replacement), and use of an abduction hip brace (device to maintain correct body alignment and
reduce the risk of dislocation) on the Treatment Administration Record (TAR).
These failures prevented the Resident 1 from receiving the necessary treatment prescribed by the
physician and had the potential for joint repair dislocation, which would jeopardize the rehabilitation of
Resident 1.
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's face sheet (brief summary of a resident's important information) indicated she was
admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including aftercare following joint replacement surgery, presence of right
artificial hip joint, dementia (a decline in mental capacity affecting daily function), difficulty in walking,
muscle wasting and atrophy (decrease in size).
Review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 6/10/22, indicated she had a
BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 6 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive [i.e. thinking,
reasoning, or remembering] impairment). Resident 1 required extensive assistance (requiring staff to
provide weight-bearing support) for bed mobility (moving in bed), and toileting. Resident 1 was dependent
on staff for transfers and had impaired range of motion (the full movement potential of a joint) in the right
lower extremity.
1. Review of Resident 1's acute hospital Discharge Orders/Instructions, dated 6/6/22, indicated, physical
activity restricted, Abduction Pillow while in bed.
Review of Resident 1's skilled nursing medical record revealed there was no physician order for an
abduction pillow while in bed and there was no documentation that the facility was using an abduction
pillow for Resident 1.
During an interview and concurrent record review with registered nurse A (RN A) on 9/27/23 at 4:25 p.m.,
he stated he was the facility's admission nurse and had admitted Resident 1 on 6/6/22. RN A was asked
about Resident 1's hospital discharge order for an abduction pillow while in bed. He confirmed there was an
order for an abduction pillow and stated, I don't see that I carried that order out . I don't know how I missed
that. RN A stated, The abduction pillow should be transcribed as an order and will appear on the TAR. The
nurses will initial every shift that the abduction pillow is in place. RN A stated the licensed nurse's
documentation is necessary to show the facility is following the physician order for the abduction pillow to
be used by Resident 1 while in bed.

Review of Resident 1's medical record revealed there was no documentation that the facility was following
total hip precautions as ordered by the physician, and no documentation that Resident 1 was using a hip
abduction brace when she was out of bed.

out of bed. The NS was asked where in Resident 1's record the licensed nurses document that total hip
precautions were observed and that Resident 1 used a hip abduction brace when out of bed. The NS
stated, I don't know why those orders are not in Resident 1's TAR . they should be. That's where the
