What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, policy, and clinical record review, the facility failed to revise 1 of 1 sampled resident's (Resident 32) Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST, a directive that specifies what services and treatment an individual wishes in the event of an emergency or code blue such as resuscitation (CPR), hospitalization, artificial hydration and tube feedings). This had the potential for Resident 32 to receive end of life services and treatment that were against her wishes and negatively impact her quality of life. Findings: A review of the facility's policy titled, Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD), dated [DATE], was reviewed. The policy indicated, The IDT [Interdisciplinary Team, a team of health care professionals who work in a coordinated fashion toward a common goal for the patient] is to review the resident's AHCD at the quarterly care plan conference. If there is any change in the resident's status or desire, the physician is to be notified to reassess the resident. A review of Resident 32's admission Record showed that Resident 32 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, dementia, glaucoma (vision loss due to nerve damage from pressure in the eye), high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart beat), weakness, and anxiety. A record review of Resident 32's POLST, dated [DATE], which indicated, Do Not Attempt Resuscitation/DNR and Defined trial period of artificial nutrition by tube. A record review of a Physician's Order dated, [DATE], indicated that Resident 32 desired, DNR-COMFORT CARE. NO ARTIFICIAL MEANS OF NUTRITION. A record review of a Quarterly Interdisciplinary Care Conference, dated [DATE], held for Resident 32, indicated that Advance Directives were reviewed with the resident and/or responsible party; and POLST currently indicates: DNR-COMFORT CARE. NO ARTIFICIAL MEANS OF NUTRITION. A record review of Physician's Orders, dated 6/2022, indicated that Resident 32 did not have the capacity to make health care decisions. During an interview on [DATE], at 8:50 am, the Social Services Director (SSD) confirmed that the POLST in Resident 32's clinical record was incorrect and not consistent with the physician's order. The SSD confirmed that during Resident 32's Care Conference meeting the IDT should have recognized (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, clinical record and policy review, the facility failed to ensure that their restraint policy was followed for 1 of 2 sampled residents (Resident 32), when a bed alarm and wheelchair alarm was initiated for Resident 32 without informed consent (information given to the resident or responsible party (RP) about the restraints and verification that they agreed to using them), a pre-restraint evaluation (a determination that the restraint is necessary before initiating), a specific diagnosis (medical reason), or reviewed by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a team of health care professionals who work in a coordinated fashion toward a common goal for the patient) within 72 hours after initiation. Residents Affected - Few This resulted in an unnecessary alarm restraint used on Resident 32, when there was no assessment or consent for the restraint alarm. Findings: Facility policies were provided by the facility's corporate consultant. The facility's policy titled, Alarms dated 1/31/22, was reviewed and indicated, Alarms should initially be used for 72 hours to determine its effectiveness in keeping the resident safe. The IDT should determine the effectiveness and decision to continue or discontinue the intervention. Alarms that are to be used beyond the 72-hour assessment period, require a Restraint Assessment to be completed. The resident or their representative are to consent to the alarm use. A signed consent is to be filed in the resident's medical record. The facility's policy titled, Physical Restraints dated 1/31/22, indicated, Alarms that prevent the resident the freedom to move around, or cause fear in the resident who attempts to move independently, are considered restraints. The facility's policy continued to indicate that a physician order must be obtained, and the order was to specify the reason for the restraint manifested by a behavior and the medical symptoms being treated by the restraint. Resident 32's admission Record was reviewed and indicated that Resident 32 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, dementia, weakness, poor vision, hearing loss, and anxiety. On 6/21/22 at 12:04 pm, Resident 32 was observed in her bed and a bed alarm was attached. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) E and concurrent observation of Resident 32 on 6/22/22 at 8:55 am, CNA E confirmed that Resident 32 had a bed and wheelchair alarm and stated, they are to help prevent falls. Resident 32's Physician's Orders, dated 6/2022, showed that on 6/1/22, an order was written for, Alarm: Pad Alarm while in Bed and w/c [wheelchair]. Check placement and function of alarm [every shift] for Patient Safety. The physician's order had not included the medical symptom or diagnosis that warranted the alarm. Resident 32's clinical record had not included a restraint assessment, IDT evaluation or re-evaluation, within 72 hours of initiation, and there was no consent to use the alarms.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 clinical record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for 3 of 16 sampled residents. Two residents (Residents 32 and 213) were taking psychotherapeutic medications (a medication that affects the mind, emotions and behavior) and 1 resident (Resident 313) was on hospice care (supportive care to terminally ill residents that focuses on their comfort, quality of life, and being pain free). 1. Resident 32 did not have a care plan developed for the use of Ativan (an anti-anxiety psychotherapeutic medication that affects the mind, emotions and behavior). 2. Resident 213 did not have a care plan developed for the use of Seroquel (an antipsychotic psychotherapeutic medication). 3. Resident 313 did not have a care plan developed for Hospice (care that focuses on the end of life wishes of the terminally ill). This had the potential for the staff not to implement interventions that were consistent with managing the resident's behaviors, recognize the presence of adverse medication side effects, and implement end of life choices. Findings: A review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans dated 1/31/22, was conducted and indicated, The resident's care plan is to be updated as changes occur including, but not limited to: Mood and behavior changes; New and discontinued medications A review of the facility's policy titled, Medications, Psychotherapeutic Drugs dated 1/31/22, was conducted and indicated, The IDT[Interdisciplinary Team - a team of health care professionals who work in a coordinated fashion toward a common goal for the patient] is to update the plan of care to address the resident's behavioral symptoms, based on the assessment. And, The plan of care should demonstrate interdisciplinary care planning directed toward resolution of the resident's problem. 1. Resident 32's admission record was reviewed showed that Resident 32 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, dementia and anxiety. Resident 32's Physician's Orders for 6/2022, showed that Ativan 0.5 milligrams (mg) was ordered every 4 hours as needed for hitting, scratching and refusing care. No care plan had been developed which identified these behavior problems or the risks and adverse side effects associated with using Ativan. During an interview and concurrent care plan review on 6/23/22 at 8:25 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that a care plan was not developed for Resident 32's use of Ativan. 2. An admission records face sheet was reviewed that indicated Resident 213 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a heart rhythm abnormality, a fractured arm, and dementia. A physician's order dated 4/19/22 for Resident 213 was reviewed for Seroquel 50 mg one tablet daily to reduce paranoid behaviors.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few A review of Resident 213's care plans was conducted; no care plan addressing the use of, and potential side effects of Seroquel was identified. During a concurrent interview and record review was conducted on 6/23/22 5:10 pm, the DON confirmed that there had been no care plan for Resident 213 for Seroquel use and confirmed that there should have been a plan of care. 3. A review of Resident 313's medical records indicated he was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included aspiration pneumonia (when food or liquid is breathed into the lungs), lung disease, swallowing problems. A review of Resident 313's physician order, dated 6/10/22, indicated Open to hospice, do not resuscitate, comfort measures, and no artificial means of nutrition. A review of Resident 313's care plans indicated that a care plan had not been revised since Resident 313 was readmitted to the facility and placed on hospice. Resident 313's most recent care plan was dated 4/26/22 and did not include hospice care interventions. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/23/22 at 10:20 am, Registered Nurse (RN C) stated the facility's process was to revise and complete a comprehensive nursing assessment within 72 hours of a resident's admission. RN C stated these timelines were very important so that staff were aware of what care should be delivered to each resident. RN C confirmed a hospice care plan had not been developed for Resident 313 since his re-admission and that his medical records did not include progress notes or alert notes indicating Resident 313 was on hospice care. RN C stated this was a serious problem with the communication process, especially since everybody is waiting on changes of care to be communicated. During a telephone interview on 6/23/22 at 10:51 am, Hospice Nurse Manager (RNH) and Hospice Outreach Coordinator confirmed their agency was providing hospice care to Resident 313. RNH reported their agency developed Resident 313's agency hospice care plan on 6/14/2022 and faxed it to the facility the same day. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/23/22 at 11:10 am, Registered Nurse (RN G) confirmed that Resident 313 did not have a hospice care plan developed or implemented since his re-admission on [DATE]. RN G confirmed that the hospice agency's care plan recommendations were added to the facility's care plan so that staff were aware of Resident 313's hospice care updates. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/23/22 at 5:20 pm, Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility's process was to generate a resident's care plan within 72 hours of admission. The DON verified that Resident 313's care plan was not developed until 6/23/22 and that there were no progress notes or nursing notes indicating that Resident 313 was on hospice. DON stated that not creating a care plan placed Resident 313 at risk for not receiving his desired hospice services. A review of the facility's policy titled, Hospice and Comfort Care, revised 1/31/21, stated Implementing Comfort Care The resident's plan of care is to be updated to reflect any changes in the care of the resident The hospice agency providing the care and the facility is to collaborate on an updated and integrated plan of care.

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, clinical record, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure that the consultant pharmacist (CP) A identified an irregularity in the Medication Regimen Review (MRR), for 1 of 1 sampled resident who was taking Ativan (an anti-anxiety psychotherapeutic medication- medication that affects the mind, emotions and behavior), and the facility had incorrectly monitored for the adverse side effects of an antidepressant medication. (Resident 32) This had the potential for unwanted adverse side effects to go unrecognized and impair the Resident 32's quality of life. Findings: The facility's policy titled, Medications, Psychotherapeutic Drugs dated 1/31/22, was reviewed. The Psychotherapeutic Reviews section directed, The consulting pharmacist is to review the psychotherapeutic medications monthly and make recommendations as appropriate. The pharmacist is to advise physicians regarding any recommendations regarding drug or dose adjustments. A review of LexiComp, an online drug reference site for professionals, updated 6/20/22, was conducted and indicated the adverse side effects of anti-anxiety medications included drowsiness, sedation, confusion, and an increased risk for falls. These warnings were not included in the antidepressant side effects that the facility had monitored. Resident 32's admission Record was reviewed and indicated that Resident 32 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included: dementia and anxiety. Resident 32's Physician's Orders, dated 6/2022, showed that Ativan 0.5 milligrams was ordered every 4 hours as needed and included, Monitor Antidepressant side effects of Ativan. Resident 32's electronic medication administration record (E-MAR), dated 6/2022, was reviewed and indicated that side effect monitoring had been done for an antidepressant medication instead of an anti-anxiety medication. During an interview and concurrent MRR review on 6/23/22 at 8:25 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that there were no recommendation made on Resident 32's most recent MRR, dated 5/2022. The DON confirmed that the adverse side effect monitor for an antidepressant for Resident 32 was incorrect and stated, they should have been monitoring side effects for an anti-anxiety. During an interview on 6/23/22 at 10:42 am, CP A confirmed that Resident 32 should have been monitored for the adverse side effects of Ativan instead of those from an antidepressant and that was not identified on the MRR.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that their medication error rate did not exceed 5 percent or greater for two of seven sampled residents (Resident 51 and 15) when three medication errors were observed within 32 opportunities when: Residents Affected - Few 1. Resident 51 had two medications administered without following manufacturer's instructions. 2. Resident 15 was administered an inhaler without following manufacturer's instructions. This failure resulted in the facility's medication error rate to be 9.38 percent and had the potential medication to be ineffective for all residents. Findings: 1. During a record review of a document titled admission Record indicated Resident 51, was admitted to facility on 9/15/2021 for atrial fibrillation (A-fib an irregular heartbeat) and osteoarthritis (damage to joint and bone). A record review of the Resident 51's physicians orders dated 6/21/22, indicated, Allopurinol [treats arthritis] 100 milligrams (mgs), 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for osteoarthritis of the knee. A record review of the Resident 51's physicians orders on 6/22/22 at 9:22 am, indicated Xarelto [prevents blood clots for irregular heartbeat] 15 mg, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to heart disease and A-fib. During an observation of medication administration on 6/22/22 at 8 am, Licensed Nurse (LN D) administered Allopurinol and Xarelto to Resident 51 before the resident's breakfast tray had arrived. Resident 51's bedside table had water only, no snacks. LN D did not offer any other food or water. A record review of the manufacturer's instructions for Allopurinol indicated that the medication should be administered after meals and with increased water. During a review of Lexicomp (online medication resource), the manufacturer's directions for Xarelto stated, Administer doses equal to or greater 15 mg with food This medication is in a class the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) includes among it's list of drug classes which have a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when used in error. During an interview on 6/22/22 at 11 am, LN D stated, I did not know Allopurinol and Xarelto had to be taken with food and confirmed that Resident 51's had not been delivered yet. 2. A review of Resident 15's admission Record indicated Resident 15, was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for the diagnoses of dementia, diabetes, COPD (an incurable lung disease). During a record review on 6/22/22 at 9:50 AM, titled Physician Orders indicated, Advair Diskus Aerosol Powder Breath Activated 250-50 micrograms/dose (Fluticasone-Salmeterol), 1 puff inhale orally two times a day for COPD.

F 0759 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During a review of Lexicomp (an online medication reference) for Advair Diskus, the instructions indicated Do not tilt disk. The instructions also stated that if the specific directions for administration were not followed, it could cause ineffective use of the medication. During a record review on 6/22/22 at 9:50 AM, titled Physician Orders indicated, Advair Diskus Aerosol Powder Breath Activated 250-50 micrograms/dose (Fluticasone-Salmeterol), 1 puff inhale orally two times a day for COPD. During a review of the manufacturer's instructions for use of the Advair Diskus, indicated, Step 2: Hold the Diskus in a level, flat position with the mouthpiece towards you Do not tilt the Diskus. Step 3: Inhale your medication. Before you breathe in your dose from the Diskus, breathe out (exhale) as long as you can Remove the Diskus from your mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or for as long as comfortable for you. Breathe out slowly as long as you can. During an observation of medication pass on 6/22/22 at 8:52 AM, LN B administered Resident 15's Advair Diskus inhaler. LN B held the inhaler incorrectly in an upward position instead of flat. LN B did not ask Resident 15 to follow the proper oral inhalation procedure steps per written manufacturer's instructions; LN B did not give verbal cues for teaching Resident 15 proper use of the inhaler for effective use. During an interview on 6/22/22 at 10:40 am, LN B stated, I did not know I was holding the inhaler wrong and I did not know that the resident needed to hold her medicine for 10 seconds.
