F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote and treat residents with respect, privacy and dignity for three of three sampled residents (Resident 40, 26 and 83) by failing: Residents Affected - Some 1. To ensure Resident 40 ' s lower part of body was not and visible from outside of room. 2.To provide privacy to Resident 26 by leaving the resident ' s post-operative surgical suction drain uncovered. 3. To provide dignity to residents during dining. Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) was observed drinking coffee during the resident's mealtime. These deficient practices had the potential to cause a psychosocial (mental and emotional well-being) decline, resident ' s individuality, self-esteem, and self-worth. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 40 ' s admission Record, indicated the facility admitted Resident 40 on 11/24/2023 with diagnoses that included atherosclerotic heart disease (general term for the progressive narrowing and hardening of coronary arteries due to atheroma [degeneration of the walls of the arteries caused by accumulated fatty deposits and scar tissue, and leading to restriction of the circulation] deposition) of native coronary artery disease without angina pectoris (chest pain or discomfort). During a review of Resident 40 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool), dated 1/24/2024, the MDS indicated, Resident 40 had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated, Resident 40 required maximum assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, upper/lower body dressing and personal hygiene. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/16/2024, at 9:25 pm, with the facility ' s Director of Nursing (DON) Resident 40 was observed awake, lying in bed with waist to lower extremities exposed and uncovered. The DON stated, Resident 40 should be covered to preserve residents ' dignity.

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 two of three sampled residents (Resident 16 and 26) follow the facility ' s policy and procedure on Intravenous Therapy by failing to: Residents Affected - Some 1. Label and date intravenous catheter (IV, a thin plastic tube inserted into a vein using a needle allowing for the administration of medications, fluids and/or blood products) for Resident 26. 2. Obtain a physician order for IV catheter insertion for Resident 16. These deficient practices had the potential to put the residents at risk for intravenous complications without appropriate intervention or preventive measures. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 26 ' s admission Record, indicated the facility admitted Resident 26 on 1/22/2024, with diagnoses that included sepsis (life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection injures its own tissues and organs), unidentified organism and psoas muscle (helps to bring the leg toward the torso [hip flexion] or vice versa) abscess (painful collection of pus). During a review of Resident 26 ' s MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated, Resident 26 had intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated, Resident 26 required total dependence with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 26's Physician ' s Order, dated 1/29/2024, indicated to start intravenous and change site every 72 hours and as needed for infiltration (when fluid leaks out of the vein into surrounding soft tissue) or soiling.

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 promote resident safety in administering oxygen for four (4) of 4 sampled residents (Residents 40, 154, 205, and 30) who were receiving oxygen therapy, in accordance with the facility ' s policy and procedure: Residents Affected - Some 1. For Resident 40, that facility failed to ensure the resident ' s nasal cannula tubing (flexible plastic tubing used to deliver oxygen through nostrils and the tubing is fitted over the patient's ears) was not touching the floor when in use. 2. For Resident 154, the facility failed to ensure the Yankaeur suction tip (an oral suctioning tool) was not on the floor and post Oxygen/no smoking signage for Resident 154. 3. For Resident 30, the facility failed to have the resident ' s room post a signage indicating Oxygen in use and No Smoking Sign, as per facility policy. 4. For Resident 205, the facility failed to ensure the resident ' s oxygen equipment was labeled or dated, a storage bag should be at bedside, and to post a signage indicating Oxygen in use, and No Smoking Sign, as per facility policy. These deficient practices had the potential for the residents to contract infection while receiving oxygen therapy which could increase the risk of the spread of infection to the residents, staff, and other visitors in the facility. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 40 ' s admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 40 on 11/24/2023, with diagnoses that included atherosclerotic heart disease (general term for the progressive narrowing and hardening of coronary arteries due to atheroma [degeneration of the walls of the arteries caused by accumulated fatty deposits and scar tissue, and leading to restriction of the circulation] deposition) of native coronary artery disease without angina pectoris (chest pain or discomfort). A review of Resident 40 ' s MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 40 had moderately impaired cognition for daily decision making. The MDS indicated, Resident 40 required maximum assistance with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, upper/lower body dressing and personal hygiene. A review of Resident 40's Order Summary Report, dated 2/16/2024, indicated to administer continuous oxygen at two (2) liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula/mask, to keep oxygen saturation (is a measure of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum it could carry) above 90% every shift. A review of Resident 40's Order Summary Report, dated 2/16/2024, indicated to change oxygen tubing and humidifier humidifiers (a device used to make supplemental oxygen moist), masks and cannulas used to deliver oxygen will be changed weekly) every Monday at night shift.

A review of Resident 154 ' s History and Physical assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 154 had limited decision-making capacities. A review of Resident 154 ' s Order Summary Report indicated the following physician orders: On 2/9/2024, Continuous Oxygen at 3 liters (L, unit of measure) per minute via nasal cannula/mask (medical device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy) to keep oxygen saturation (the amount of oxygen that is circulating in the blood) above 90% every shift On 2/11/2024, may suction orally as needed for excessive secretion every 4 hours During a concurrent observation and interview in Resident 154 ' s room on 2/16/2024 at 8:16 PM, Resident 154 was observed sitting on his bed and receiving oxygen therapy via nasal cannula. Resident 154 ' s yankaeur suction was observed on the floor next to the resident ' s bed. Resident 154 stated he uses the yankaeur suction often and did not know when it fell to the floor.
