F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), who had a diagnosis of dementia (the loss of cognitive process) with combative behavior (aggressiveness/eagerness to fight) was free from physical restraints (any manual method, physical or mechanical device/equipment or material that limits a resident's freedom of movement and cannot be removed by the resident) for purposes of discipline or convenience, by failing to: Residents Affected - Few 1. Protect Resident 1 from physical injury on 8/20/2024, when Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 restrained Resident 1's right and left arms by crossing Resident 1's arms across the chest and above the head and pull/drag the resident from the resident's room to the Nursing Station when Resident 1 exhibited episodes of mood swings [a sudden or intense change in a person's emotional state]. 2. Implement Resident 1's care plan interventions on Dementia, and Communication Problem related to Language Barrier [a difficulty for people communicating because they speak different languages] by establishing rapport and eye contact with the resident, use appropriate words and gestures, listen carefully and attend to verbal/nonverbal expressions when LVN 1 physically restrained Resident 1's left and right arms with both of her hands, while the resident was exhibiting episodes of mood swings, anxiety and agitation on 8/20/2024. 3. Ensure the facility's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - a group of health care professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals for residents) develop a comprehensive care plan when Resident 1 exhibited (showed) new behaviors manifested by combativeness, punching, scratching, and kicking, chasing staff, including touching the roommate (Resident 2) on 6/9/2024, 7/7/2024, and 8/18/2024, in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure [P&P] titled Person Centered Plan of Care. 4. Develop care plan interventions on 8/22/2024, to address Resident 1's combative behavior and agitation and identify the root cause (the fundamental reason for the occurrence of a problem) of the resident's behavior symptoms (combativeness and agitation) to prevent further injury to Resident 1. 5. Prohibit the use of physical restraints, in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure titled Physical Restraint Management, when LVN 1 held Resident 1 down with both hands to prevent LVN 1 from being hit, kicked and spit on by Resident 1 and restrained Resident 1's right and left arms by crossing Resident 1's arms across the chest and above the head and pull/drag the resident from the resident's room to the Nursing Station, on 8/20/2024.

On the same day, on 8/20/2024 timed at 7:48 PM, during a telemedicine (the use of electronic information and communications technologies to provide and support) visit with Psychiatrist 1, Resident 1 verbalized being scared. Resident 1 was unable to verbalize the reason for being scared. These deficient practices placed other residents with behavioral issues (acting in a way that causes harm) residing at the facility [24 residents], at risk for staff abuse and restraints and cause psychosocial (covers a person's mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health) decline, physical (relating to the body) injuries, hospitalization, and death.

The survey team notified the Administrator (ADM) and the Director of Nursing (DON) of the IJ situation on 8/26/2024 at 6:22 PM, due to the facility's unnecessary use of physical restraint for Resident 1, while in an agitated state. On 8/28/2024 at 1:46 PM, the ADM provided an acceptable IJ Removal Plan (a detailed plan to address the IJ findings). On 8/28/2024 at 5:15 PM, while onsite and after the surveyor verified/confirmed the facility's full implementation of the IJ Removal Plan through observation, interview, and record review, and determined the IJ situation was no longer present, the IJ was removed onsite, in the presence of the ADM and the DON. The IJ Removal Plan dated 8/28/2024, included the following: o The facility interviewed 30 interviewable residents on 08/26/2024 and screened for any incidents of being physically restrained during care by the Social Services Designee (SSD) and 12 non-interviewable residents received body check (examine the body) on 08/26/2024, to determine any unexplained bruising (blood pooling under the skin) or redness by licensed nurses and the DON. o The facility started Training and Education on 8/26/24 headed by the Nurse Consultant Director of Staff Education and the DON, regarding abuse (the act of causing harm) and physical restraints. The training on Managing Behavior and Care plan will be completed by 08/28/2024. o The facility started ln-service (continuous) training for staff nurses on 8/26/24, regarding updating comprehensive care plans for residents that exhibit combative behaviors to be completed and to include on the care plan not to use any type of restraints. o The facility started an In-service training for staff and nurses on 8/26/24, on managing residents that exhibit combative behaviors.

LVN 2 stated after CNA 1 talked to Resident 1, LVN 1 released her hand from Resident 1. LVN 2 stated CNA 1 took Resident 1 back to her room and reported to LVN 1 about Resident 1's injury (bruising) to the left hand and CNA 1 placed an ice pack to Resident 1 left and right hand. LVN 2 stated that LVN 1 should have not physically restrained Resident 1. LVN 2 stated LVN 1 caused physical and psychological harm to Resident 1 because LVN 1 used force which led to Resident 1 getting injured physically. During a telephone interview on 8/26/2024 at 2:29 PM, Resident 2 was interviewed and stated that Resident 1 would wake up at night and just walk up and down the hallway. Resident 2 stated that Resident 1 never hit her and did not bother her. During a concurrent interview and record reviews on 8/26/2024 at 3:10 PM, Resident 1's Nursing Progress Notes titled Post [COC] dated 6/9/2024 timed at 1:20 PM and SBAR Communication Form and Progress Note dated 7/7/2024 timed at 12:47 PM were reviewed with the DON. During the concurrent interview, the DON stated he was unaware of Resident 1's Post COC on 6/9/2024 that indicated Resident 1's combative behavior. The DON further stated that he was unaware of Resident 1's combative behavior exhibited on 7/7/2024, as indicated in the SBAR Form. The DON stated there was no resident specific care plan developed for Resident 1's combative behaviors prior to 8/18/2024, because there was no IDT conference conducted to address Resident 1's aggressive behavior since the resident's behavior symptoms were not reported to him [DON]. The DON stated the SBAR Form dated 7/7/2024, indicated the physician ordered Ativan 0.5 mg every 12 hours as needed for agitation. The DON stated Resident 1's aggressive behavior and the physician order for the use of Ativan should have been communicated and addressed to identify and manage Resident 1's behavioral issues to avoid abuse or physical restraints. During a concurrent interview on 8/26/2024 at 3:34 PM and record review of Resident 1's care plan titled [Resident 1] has a new behavior of punching, kicking, and scratching staff, attempting to touch and grab other residents, dated 8/18/2024 and revised on 8/22/2024 with the DON, the DON stated that Resident 1's care plan interventions for Resident 1's new behavior of punching, kicking and scratching staff were not specific to the Resident 1's behavioral needs. The DON stated the licensed nurses only developed three care plan interventions which included to notify the physician, notify Resident 1's family, and provide psychosocial support. The DON stated the care plan did not indicate how the staff would provide psychosocial support such as to talk to the resident so she could voice any concerns. The DON stated the care plan did not address triggers or root cause that may have been causing Resident 1 to touch other residents especially Resident 2, including punching, kicking, and scratching staff. The DON stated because the care plan on 8/18/2024 did indicate addressing the root cause of Resident 1's aggressive behavior, LVN 1 led to escalating Resident 1's aggressive behavior by physically restraining Resident 1 on 8/20/2024. The DON stated restraining Resident 1 was not the appropriate action to protect the resident and calm her down. The DON stated LVN 1 used physical force (on 8/20/2024) and led to Resident 1's increase in aggression.
