This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure: 1. two residents (Residents 8 and 9) care plan was implemented related to elevation of the head of bed during tube feedings, and 2. the care plan was developed for a bruise for one resident (Resident 10). These failures resulted in less then optimal care for three out of 12 residents. Findings: 1a. Record review on 10/28 to 10/31/19 indicated Resident 8 had diagnoses that included spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (a loss of use of the whole body marked by the inability to control and use the legs, arms, and body). Additionally, Resident 8 had a tracheostomy (a surgically created hole through the front of the neck and windpipe that provides an air passage to breathe when the usual route for breathing is somehow obstructed or impaired) and a jejunostomy tube (J-tube, a surgically placed feeding tube into the small intestine to help with nutrition and growth). Review of Resident 8's [NAME] (a medical information system used by nursing staff as a way to communicate important information on the residents) dated 10/29/19, for Treatment/Procedure indicated Head of bed 20-40 degrees. Review of Resident 8's LONG TERM CARE PLAN for the area of Altered Nutrition/Hydration indicated an intervention of HOB increased 20-40 degrees. Review of Resident 8's Physician admission Orders dated 10/23/19, stated Elevate HOB 20-40 degrees. During an observation on 10/29/19 at 11:18 a.m., the resident was lying in bed, the bed was flat and the tube feeding bag was on and hanging. During an interview on 10/31/19 at 9:02 a.m., RN D stated Resident 8's HOB should be at 20-40 degrees. 1b. Record review on 10/28 to 10/31/19 indicated Resident 9 had diagnoses that included traumatic brain injury (a form of acquired brain injury that occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain) and persistent vegetative state (condition in which a medical patient is completely unresponsive to psychological and physical stimuli and displays no sign of higher brain function, being kept alive only by medical intervention). Additionally, Resident 9 had a tracheostomy for breathing and a gastrostomy tube for nutrition.

F 0656 Review of Resident 9's [NAME] dated 10/29/19, for Treatment/Procedure stated HOB 35-40 [degrees]. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident #9's LONG TERM CARE PLAN for the area of Altered Nutrition/Hydration indicated an intervention of HOB increased 20-40 degrees during feeding & 30-60 minutes after. Residents Affected - Few During an observation on 10/31/19 at 11:05 a.m., Resident 9 was lying in bed with the tube feeding pumping. Additionally, the HOB bed was flat. During an interview on 10/31/19 at 11:20 a.m., RN D stated Resident 9's HOB should be elevated during tube feedings and proceeded to raise the resident's HOB. During an interview on 10/31/19 at 1:54 p.m., the Director of Quality and Infection Prevention stated the residents beds should be elevated during tube feedings. Review of the facility's undated policy and procedure, Enteral Tube Feeding Intermittent or Bolus, Pediatric, indicated Maintain the child with the head of the bed elevated to at least 30 degrees . Review of the facility's undated policy and procedure, Enteral Feeding, Continuous Drip, Pediatric, indicated under Implementation .position the child supine [lying on the back] with the head of the bed elevated to at least 30 degrees .to help avoid aspiration of gastric contents. 2. Resident 10 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Exomphalos (weakness of baby's abdominal wall causing the bowel and liver to protrude in a loose sac) chronic respiratory failure, with tracheostomy (trach). Record review indicated Resident 10 attended an off-site school on Mondays (9:45 a.m. to 12 p.m.), and Tuesday through Fridays he went to school from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m On 10/14/19 a Student Accident Report indicated the school nurse did a skin check with the facility nurse at the start of the shift. It indicated Resident 10 had a 1/8 inch scab on his left posterior hand; on his right upper inner arm a 1 inch x 1 inch circular bruise and a scab 1/8 inch on his left lower (inside) leg. During a concurrent interview with Director of Quality and Infection Prevention (DQIP), she stated both the school nurse and the facility nurse would usually do a report at start of shift. She stated the responsible family member was notified. The DQIP stated it was not investigated as Resident 10 was an active child and he would hit and bang his arms/legs. As well as, sometimes when the resident had blood work done it would cause easy bruising. Review of Resident 10's weekly summary also indicated same type of scabs and discoloration on arms and legs. Review of the nursing 24 hour flow sheet dated 10/13/19, indicated similar descriptions of the skin in the same areas (i.e. shin, right arm, antecubital areas, right inner arm). Review of Resident 10's short term and care plan indicated the potential for impaired skin integrity was addressed. However, it did not address the specific behaviors of the resident that would cause skin discoloration. During an interview with the minimum data set coordinator on 10/29/19 at 2 p.m., she confirmed the findings. She stated it should be addressed initially in the short term care plan. However, if the behavior or incident which caused the skin discoloration to continue, then it should be addressed in the long term care plan.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 review and revise the care plan (provides direction on the type of nursing care the individual, family may need) for one of 24 residents (Resident 23), when the interventions did not reflect the current tube feeding order, and the positioning of the head of the bed (HOB) did not reflect the current information in the [NAME] (a medical information system used by nursing staff to communicate important information on their patients). This failure could affect outcomes in the residents' care. Findings: During the initial tour on 10/28 /19 at 2:45 p.m., Resident 23 was laying on a pillow flat in bed with oral secretions noted. Resident 23 had a tracheostomy (a tube inserted into the windpipe to allow air into the lungs via a machine (ventilator). He was on intermittent tube feedings (TF) via gastric tube (liquid form of nourishment delivered through a flexible tube inserted into the stomach, GT)). The feeding bag's label indicated Nutren Jr. + 1 Tbsp (tablespoon) protein + water. Review of the Resident 23's clinical record indicated he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include infantile spinal muscular atrophy (neuromuscular disorder that results in worsening muscle weakness with muscle twitching, affecting respiratory muscles, arm and legs), chronic respiratory failure, tracheostomy and dependence on ventilator. Review of Resident 23's care plan indicated it was reviewed and revised on 9/27/19 (quarterly). The interventions for potential in altered nutrition included TF order, dated 5/22/15, Nutren Jr. Fiber Prosource + lite salt + water via GT. The current order was for 1200 Nutren Jr. + 1 Tbsp protein + H20 (water) = 1830 milliliter (ml. unit of liquid measure). One of the interventions also indicated the HOB (head of bed ) increased to 20-40 degrees during feeding and 30-60 minutes after feeding. Review of the [NAME], under treatment and procedure indicated, the HOB to increase at 20 to 40 degrees at all times. During an interview with the director of quality and infection prevention (DQIP) on 10/30/19 at 10 a.m., she stated the tube feeding orders were written in the [NAME] which was updated each shift. The [NAME] also included information regarding treatment and procedure orders. She stated the nurses used the [NAME] during a shift report. During an interview withe the minimum data set coordinator on 10/31/19 at 9:51 a.m., she stated she was responsible for updating the care plan. She confirmed the findings and stated the care plan should have been revised and updated to reflect the current orders. During another observation on 10/31/19 at 9:30 a.m. Resident 23 was laying on a pillow flat in bed. Tube feeding was off at this time. During a concurrent interview with registered nurse A (RN A), she confirmed the findings based on the [NAME]. She stated the resident's HOB was elevated because the resident had a pillow but acknowledged the HOB was not at 20 to 40 degrees.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure psychotropic medications (medications that are capable of affecting the mind, emotions, and behavior) ordered as PRN (as needed) for one of six residents (Resident 18), was limited to 14 days and if extended would indicate the duration for the PRN order. This failure could potentially create an unnecessary medication for the resident. Findings: 1. During the initial tour on 10/28/19 at 1:47 p.m., Resident 18 was lying in the crib with a tracheostomy (a tube inserted into the windpipe to allow air into the lungs via a machine (ventilator). He also had tube feeding in progress. Resident 18 appeared comfortable and in no distress. Review of Resident 18's clinical record indicated he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include epilepsy (a neurological condition in which a person has recurrent seizures). Review of the physician's order dated 10/15/19, indicated an order for Lorazepam (anti-anxiety medication) 0.5 milligram (mg., a unit of measure) every four hours as needed for anxiety or seizure. Do not discontinue due to periodic emergency need. During an telephone interview with the registered pharmacist (RPH) on 10/30/19 at 2:30 p.m., he stated he would usually write a note to the physician regarding the 14 day limit on psychotropic medications ordered as PRN. Review of the medication regimen review (MRR) record dated 9/25/19, indicated the RPH recommendation to add do not DC (discontinue) due to periodic emergency need to the PRN Lorazepam order. Review of the physician's progress notes dated 10/30/19, indicated . Resident 18 had rare seizures, controlled with phenobarbital and Keppra (medications for seizures). Review of the monthly Psychotropic Drug Review/Monitoring, dated 9/30/19, indicated there was no PRN medication (Lorazepam) administered for that month. During a concurrent interview with the director of nursing (DON) and the minimum data set coordinator (MDSC) on 10/31/19 at 9:30 a.m., the MDSC stated monitoring for seizure and anxiety was documented separately as indicated in the treatment administration record (TAR). Both the DON and the MDSC stated there was a rationale for the extended use of Lorazepam. During a meeting with the DON, the MDSC, and the medical director (MD) on 10/31/19 at 2 p.m., they acknowledged that in addition to the rationale for the extended 14 day PRN order, the order should indicate the duration of the extended PRN order.
