Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the colostomy (surgical opening in the intestine) care plan and the self-care/Activities (ADL, Activities of Daily Living) care plan for one of 17 sampled residents [Resident 11] were implemented and updated in accordance with Resident 11's current assessed needs. Failure to implement care plan interventions to teach Resident 11 how to manage her colostomy had the potential for Resident 11 to be continually dependent on staff for colostomy care. Failure to update Resident 11's care plan indicated staff was not following the facility's policies and procedures regarding updating care plans on a quarterly basis. This had the potential for outdated and/or inaccurate information to remain in Resident 11's care plans. Definitions: Person-Centered- means the facility focuses on the resident as the center of control and supports each resident in meeting his or her own choices and having control over their daily lives. Cognitive impairment is when a person has trouble remembering, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect their everyday life. Cognitive impairment ranges from mild to severe.
Findings: During a review of Resident 11's face sheet, the face sheet indicated Resident 11 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Lumbago with sciatica (chronic, ache in the lower back that goes down the leg), colostomy, and hypertension. During a review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized resident assessment tool), dated 8/7/21, indicated a score of 13 on her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment to detect cognitive impairment). Score of 13 indicated Resident 11 had no cognitive impairment. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/18/21, at 10:30 AM, Resident 11 was in her room and Resident 11 stated, she had a colostomy in her left lower abdomen. Resident 11 stated, she did not receive any teaching about her colostomy care. Resident 11 stated, she does not think she can take care of her colostomy by herself and, it usually takes two people to do it. Resident 11 stated, the concern I have is not getting help timely when the colostomy leaks because the facility is shorthanded. During a review of Resident 11's care plan for colostomy, the care plan indicated, it was initiated on 1/27/20, with interventions such as teach ostomy care with return demonstration. Also initiated on 1/27/20, was a care plan for potential decline in self-care/ADL (activities of daily living) due to pain, colostomy status, hearing deficit, and advancing age. Interventions to manage self-care included: staff to assist the resident with ADLs daily in a way that maximizes participation and minimizes dependence. Both these care plans were initiated on 1/27/20 (23 months ago), and there was no documented evidence these interventions were implemented as of 11/19/21.

During a review Resident 11's MDS, dated [DATE], MDS indicated Resident 11 required the extensive assistance of one staff for toileting/colostomy care. During a concurrent interview, on 11/18/21 at 10:55 AM, with LVN 2 and record review of Resident 11's care plans, LVN 2 stated, sometimes Resident 11 may have to wait for assistance with her colostomy bag because of medication pass or staff may be assisting other residents. LVN 2 further stated, she has not tried to teach Resident 11 how to manage her colostomy and was not sure if any other staff did. LVN 2 could not find documented evidence that staff tried to teach Resident 11 how to care for her colostomy for the last 23 months. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/18/21, at around 3:10 PM, the DON was asked about the interventions to teach ostomy care with return demonstration. The intervention that was initiated on 1/27/20, for Resident 11, was still there. DON stated, the MDS coordinator is the one who updates the care plan 90 days, but the MDS coordinator was busy. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/19/21, at 2:05 PM, with DON, DON acknowledged the care plans were not updated. DON stated, they update the baseline care plan first, then the comprehensive. DON stated, the MDS coordinator usually is the one who update the care plan for residents, when doing quarterly MDS. DON stated, the charge nurses are focused on medication and wound care and don't update the care plan; the night nurses initiate the care plan but updating is secondary to them. DON stated, she too sometimes updates the care plans. DON stated, the MDS coordinator is responsible for updating the care plans, but the MDS coordinator was busy. Duting a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P & P) titled, Comprehensive Care Plans, dated 2021, the P & P indicated, It is the policy of the facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, . The comprehensive care plan will be reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each comprehensive and quarterly MDS assessment.

During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 9's RNP physician orders on 11/19/21 at 11:31 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON confirmed the RNP orders were current. DON stated the physician orders for Resident 9's RNP were incomplete. DON stated the orders were not clarified with the physician regarding type of range of motion exercises (i.e., active or passive ROM), body part/s (i.e., upper and/or lower extremities, etc.), side of the body (i.e., right, left, or bilateral) and duration of services (i.e., time in minutes). Further, the DON stated, she did not understand and was unable to explain Resident 9's RNP order for the splint. 2.
