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 ensure Certified Nursing Assistant
4 (CNA 4) and Housekeeping 1 (HSKP 1) were not conversing with each other in another language while
CNA 4 was feeding a resident in the dining room for one (Resident 167) out of one sampled resident
investigated for dignity.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect the resident's sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
Findings:
A review of Resident 167's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 4/1/2022, with
diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system [includes
the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves] and the parts of the body controlled by the
nerves), dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking
abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that
causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and hemiplegia (paralysis that affects one side
of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness or inability to move one side of the body).
A review of Resident 167's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/18/2023, indicated the resident was severely impaired in cognitive (thought processes) skills for
daily decision making and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing,
eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
On 1/4/2023 at 8:45 a.m., during an observation, observed Resident 167 sitting between CNA 4 and HSKP
1 in the dining room. Observed CNA 4 and HSKP 1 conversing with each other in another language while
CNA 4 was feeding Resident 167.
On 1/4/2023 at 8:54 a.m., during an interview, CNA 4 stated she was conversing with HSKP 1 about the
news on the television. CNA 4 stated they have been in- serviced (training intended for those actively
engaged in a profession) about not speaking in another language in front of residents, especially if the
resident does not speak the language. CNA 4 stated it can affect the resident's sense of dignity.
On 1/5/2023 at 11:21 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated staff should
not be conversing with each other in another language because the resident may think he/she was being
talked about. The DSD stated if the resident has a cognitive impairment (when a person

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to assess one of one sampled resident (Resident 25) for
self-administration of medications after the resident expressed a desire to have some control over her
medications.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice violated the residents' right to be assessed for capacity and be informed of their
ability or inability to self-administer medications
Findings:
A review of Resident 25's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/28/2022, with
diagnoses including hypertension (high blood pressure), generalized muscle weakness, and anxiety
disorder.
A review of Resident 25's MDS, dated [DATE] indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood
and understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 25 required two-person extensive assistance with bed
mobility and toilet use; required two-person total assistance with transfer; required one-person extensive
assistance with dressing and personal hygiene; and required setup and supervision with eating.
A review of Resident 25's admission History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/29/2022, indicated the resident
reported she did not like to give control and preferred to take her own medications. The H&P indicated
Resident 25 had an intact (not altered, broken, or impaired) decision-making capacity.
During an interview on 1/3/2023 at 12:16 p.m., Resident 25 stated she would like to have an authority over
her medications. Resident 25 stated she has not been assessed for self-administration of medication even
after she brought it up to the facility multiple times. Resident 25 stated the facility operated in a one size fits
all.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 8:24 a.m., RN 2 stated Resident 25 expressed a desire to administer
her own medications on admission on [DATE]. RN 2 stated the facility did not initiate an assessment for
self-administration of medication because the facility was waiting for the resident's doctor to assess the
resident first. RN stated the facility informed the resident's physician about the resident's desire to
self-administer medications and was told by the resident's physician no self-administration at this time. RN
2 stated the facility did not have a self-administration of medication assessment for the resident that would
have indicated that the resident was deemed incapable of self-administering of medications but should
have had one. RN 2 stated a care plan should have been initiated and the resident should have been
informed and educated that she was not deemed capable at this time.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 4:10 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated when Resident 25 had
expressed a desire to self-administer medications, the facility should have assessed the resident. The DON
stated when the facility felt that the resident was not qualified to self-administer medications, the facility
should have still done a formal assessment and informed the resident of the result. The DON stated the
resident was not informed accordingly and as a result the resident had become unhappy. The DON stated it
was the resident's right to be assessed and periodically reassessed for capacity to self-administer
medications.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. A review of
Resident 52's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 11/11/2019 and
readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including osteoarthritis (occurs when the cartilage that cushions the
ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates), angina pectoris (a type of chest pain caused by
reduced blood flow to the hear), and dementia (a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or
make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 52's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/20/2022, indicated that the resident`s cognitive (thought processes) skills for daily decision
making is severely impaired and required extensive assistance on staff for bed mobility, toilet use, and
personal hygiene.
On 01/03/23 04:51 p.m., observed Resident 52 awake in bed and did not respond when spoken to.
Observed call light placed on top of a bedside table, more than an arm's length away from the resident`s
bed.
On 01/03/23 at 04:44 p.m., during a concurrent observation and interview, observed call light on top of the
bedside table, more than an arm`s length away from the resident. Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1)
confirmed that the call light was not within resident`s reach. CNA 1 explained that one way to prevent the
resident from falling is to make sure the call light is within reach for the resident to call for assistance.
A review of Resident 52's care plan (contains relevant information about a patient's diagnosis, the goals of
treatment, the specific nursing orders, and an evaluation plan), initiated on 11/19/2019, indicated the
resident is at risk for falls and self -care deficits due to impaired mobility following cerebrovascular accident
and dementia. The goal indicated that the resident's risk for falls will be reduced daily for ninety days, with
interventions including keeping call light in reach while in bed.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Answering Call Lights, last reviewed in 10/2022,
indicated the purpose of this policy is to ensure that all resident/patient call lights are answered timely and
appropriately. When the resident is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of
the resident. Answer the resident's call as soon as possible.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light was within
reach for three of three sampled residents (Residents 63, 52, and 76).
This deficient practice had the potential to delay necessary care and services to the residents.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 63's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 7/12/2021, with
diagnoses including Coronavirus disease-2019 acute respiratory disease [COVID-19, a highly contagious
viral infection that can trigger respiratory tract infection], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of
diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problem) and major depressive disorder (mood
disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.

A review of Resident 63's Care Plan Review, dated 10/18/2022, indicated an intervention for fall risk to
provide call light within easy reach with return demonstration.
During an observation, on 1/3/2023 at 10:10 a.m., observed Resident 63 sitting in a wheelchair on the right
side near the foot of the bed. Observed call light placed in a holder fixed to the wall near the head of the
bed.
During an interview, on 1/3/2023 at 10:11 a.m., Resident 63 stated she is not able to reach the call light
from where she is sitting.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 1/3/2023 at 10:23 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 3
(LVN 3) observed and verified Resident 63's call light was out of resident's reach. Observed LVN 3 remove
call light from the holder on the wall and place it next to the resident. LVN 3 stated Resident 63 is able to
verbalize her needs and knows how to use the call light. LVN 3 stated the call light should be placed within
easy reach of Resident 63 for staff to be able to attend to the resident's needs promptly whenever she
presses the call light to request for help.
During an interview, on 1/5/2023 at 5:23 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated call lights should be
placed within reach for all residents within the facility regardless of whether they are able to use the call
light or not, and staff should respond to residents when they press the call light as soon as practicable per
facility policy. The DON stated the certified nursing assistant (CNA) or licensed nurse should have made
sure to place the call light within reach of Resident 63 upon assisting the resident out from bed onto her
wheelchair. The DON further stated the importance of ensuring residents have easy access to call lights for
staff to respond to and address the resident's requests timely and for the resident's safety.

pump blood as well as it should), atrial fibrillation (a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood
clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications), and peripheral neuropathy (weakness,
numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet).
A review of Resident 76's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 10/11/2022, indicated the resident was able to understand others and make herself understood and
had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding).
The MDS indicated Resident 76 required set up supervision with eating, one-person extensive assistance
with personal hygiene, dressing, and locomotion on and off the unit, two-person extensive assistance with
bed mobility, transfers, and toileting.

During an observation on 1/3/2022 at 10:09 a.m., in Resident 76's room, observed the resident's call light
placed in the call light holder fixed to the wall at the head of the bed, and not within resident's reach while
the resident was sitting in the wheelchair near the foot of the bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/3/2022 at 10:20 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 5
(CNA 5) confirmed that the call light was placed in the holder on the wall and was not within Resident 76's
reach. CNA 5 stated Resident 76 knows how to use the call light and can make her needs known. CNA 5
stated that the call light should have been within the resident's reach so the resident would be able to call
for assistance and not try to get up and end up falling.
During an interview on 1/3/2022 at 10:52 a.m., Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3) stated that the call light should
have been within Resident 76's reach for the resident to be able to call for assistance and for staff to meet

Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced
Beneficiary Notice (SNF ABN - a written notification to the resident or responsible party of the potential
liability charges for services not covered when the resident was discharged from Medicare Part A services
with benefit days remaining) and the Notice of Medicare Noncoverage (NOMNC - written notice informing
the beneficiary of his or her right to an expedited review of services termination from Medicare Part A
services) in a timely manner for two of three sampled residents (Residents 426 and 427).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in residents or responsible parties not being able to
exercise their rights to decide their care.
Findings:
A review of Resident 426's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 5/1/2014 with
diagnoses including Coronavirus disease-2019 acute respiratory disease [COVID-19, a highly contagious
viral infection that can trigger respiratory tract infection], Parkinson's disease (brain disorder that causes
unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and
coordination), and osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease in which the tissues in the joint break down
over time).
A review of Resident 426's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 10/6/2022, indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and had the ability to
understand others.
A review of Resident 426's SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review Form indicated the facility
initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A services when benefit days were not exhausted, and the last
covered day of Medicare Part A service was 8/31/2022. The document further indicated the SNF ABN and
NOMNC forms were provided to the resident but both forms were not acknowledged.
A review of Resident 427's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/28/2022 with
diagnoses that included non-infective gastroenteritis (inflammation of the lining of the stomach and
intestines) and colitis (inflammation of the large intestine) and generalized muscle weakness.
A review of Resident 427's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/5/2023 at 9:41 a.m., reviewed Resident 426's and
Resident 427's SNF ABN and NOMNC forms with the Medical Records Director (MRD). MRD stated
medical records staff provide the SNF ABN and NOMNC forms to the resident once the Minimum Data Set
(MDS) nurse informs the resident regarding the change in coverage status. The MRD stated if the resident
does not have the capacity to make decisions, the MDS nurse would speak with the family member over
the phone and the medical records staff would email the SNF ABN and NOMNC forms to have them review
and sign the forms and return the signed forms via email or fax. The MRD stated the facility had initiated
Resident 426's discharge from Medicare Part A services with benefit days remaining and that the resident's
last covered day was on 8/31/2022. The MRD reviewed Resident 426's SNF ABN and NOMNC forms and
verified both forms were blank. The MRD stated an email was sent with SNF ABN and NOMNC forms
attached on 8/31/2022 to Resident 426's family member. However, the MRD confirmed the forms were not
acknowledged as there was no response from Resident 426's family member and stated that there was no
follow up email sent. The MRD stated both NOMNC and the SNF ABN forms should have been provided
via email at least two days prior to Resident 426's last covered day of 8/31/2022 following the facility's
policy. The MRD further stated the facility should have followed up with Resident 426's family member to
ensure the forms were reviewed and acknowledged. The MRD also reviewed Resident 427's SNF ABN and
NOMNC forms and verified both notices were provided to the resident on 7/28/2022. The MRD stated the
facility had initiated Resident 427's discharge from Medicare Part A services with benefit days remaining
and that the resident's last covered day was on 7/28/2022. The MRD confirmed the SNF ABN and NOMNC
forms were provided to Resident 427 on the last covered day and stated they should have been given at
least two days prior per facility policy. The MRD stated the SNF ABN form should be provided timely to let
the resident and family know that they will be financially responsible for the cost when the coverage for
Medicare Part A services end. The MRD further stated the NOMNC form should be provided timely to let
the resident and family know that resident no longer meets the requirement for being covered under
Medicare Part A services and that the coverage is about to end.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, 7020 Medicare Notice of Medicare
Non-coverage/Advance Beneficiary Notice, last revised on 11/21/2018, indicated the facility will give an
advance, completed copy of the Notice of Medicare Non-coverage (NOMNC) to enrollees receiving skilled
nursing no later than two days before the termination of services. The policy further indicated medical
records will monitor completion of NOMNC via discharge monitor from Medicare Part A on the discharge
monitor.

F 0584
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident
141) was provided with homelike environment by failing to make the bed with clean linens and pillow.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 141's quality of life.
Findings:
A review of Resident 141's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/2/2021, with
diagnoses including dementia (a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions
that interferes with doing everyday activities) and heart failure (a condition that develops when your heart
doesn't pump enough blood for your body's needs).
A review of Resident 141's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool)
dated 12/8/2022, indicated the resident had a severe cognitive (relating to thinking, reasoning, or
remembering) impairment (loss or damage). The MDS indicated Resident 141 required one-person
extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene; and required
two-person extensive assistance with transfer.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/3/2023 at 10:58 a.m., in Resident 141's room,
observed with Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) the resident's bed unmade, two blue wedge cushion
pillows on the floor with crumpled bed linens resting on top of them, and a pillow on top of the headboard of
the bed while the resident was sitting in his wheelchair next to the bed. CNA 5 stated the bed was undone
and the bed linens were resting on top of wedge cushion pillows that were on the floor. CNA 5 stated he
was only covering for the CNA assigned to the resident and he was not sure whether the linens and wedge
cushion pillows were clean or dirty. CNA 5 stated he would not leave the bed undone and would not leave
the wedge cushion pillows on the floor with linens on top because it was not a professional practice and did
not promote a homelike environment for the resident.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 11:20 a.m. Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3) stated leaving the bed unmade
and leaving wedge cushion pillows on the floor with linens were not appropriate and did not ensure a
homelike environment for Resident 141. RN 3 stated the facility is the resident's home and the resident is in
the facility because he needed to be cared for. RN 3 stated being in an institution was already traumatizing
for the resident and ensuring a homelike environment would allow for the resident to feel important and
comfortable. RN 3 stated even though the resident had dementia, the resident still had some periods of
lucidity (having, showing, or characterized by an ability to think clearly and rationally). RN 3 further stated
even though the resident may not have complained, it was still the facility's responsibility to ensure the
resident was provided with a clean and homelike environment.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 2:31 p.m., the Administrator (ADM) stated the facility did not have a
policy and procedure (P&P) for homelike environment.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 4:28 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was not appropriate to
leave Resident 141's bed unmade and leave the wedge cushion pillows on the floor. The DON stated the
resident should have been provided with a comfortable homelike environment because it

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 record review, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Some
a. Implement the comprehensive person-centered care plan to provide Passive Range Motion (PROM-the
range of motion that is achieved when an outside force (such as a therapist) causes movement of a joint )
exercises and Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that help residents to
maintain their function and joint mobility) for ambulation as ordered by the physician for two out of three
residents ( Residents 128 and155) investigated under Comprehensive Care Plans.
These deficient practices resulted to failure in providing the necessary care and services and have the
potential to minimize the facility's ability to measure resident progress and adjustment of services and
treatments as needed to prevent further decline in functional mobility and joint range of motion (ROM, full
movement potential of a joint).
b. Develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan (CP) in order to meet residents medical, nursing,
mental, and psychosocial needs by failing to develop a care plan that addressed the resident's use of an
anticoagulant (AC, a class of medications used to prevent or reduce coagulation [the process by which a
blood clot is formed]) for one of one resident (Resident 24) reviewed for anticoagulant use.
This deficient practice had the potential for the resident taking unnecessary medication and licensed nurses
not monitoring the adverse side effects of the anticoagulant.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 128's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility admitted the resident on
9/14/2020, with diagnoses including osteoarthritis (a type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the
ends of bones wears down), rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints,
including those in the hands and feet), and low back pain.
A review of Resident 128's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] (MDS, a standardized assessment and
care-screening tool) indicated the resident cognitive skills (cognition refers to conscious mental activities,
and include thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning, and remembering) for daily decision making is
intact. The MDS indicated the resident required staff assistance with moving from seated to standing
position, moving on and off the toilet, and surface to surface transfer (transfer between bed and chair or
wheelchair).
On 01/03/2023 05:15 p.m., during a concurrent observation and interview, observed Resident 128 sitting on
the wheelchair. The resident stated that she has osteomyelitis (inflammation or swelling that occurs in the
bone) and had surgery in 2016. According to the resident, she is supposed to be walked everyday by the
staff but was only walked one-time last week. The resident stated the staff used to walk her five times a
week but not anymore. The resident stated that if she does not get her five times a week walking exercises,
she may lose the ability to walk. The resident further stated she has not spoken to her doctor about it.
A review of Resident 128's physician's order dated 6/17/2021, indicated for RNA to ambulate

a day, five times a week (FWW 5x/wk).
A review of Resident 128`s Care Plan for Self- Care Deficits and Impaired Mobility, related to general
weakness, dated 6/29/21, indicated an intervention for RNA ambulation with FWW 5x/wk as tolerated.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 128`s Nursing Rehab Time Log, indicated the number of days the resident was
provided RNA ambulation, as follows:
1.
October 2022- 20 days;
2.
November 2022- 11 days;
3.
December 2022- 5 days.
On 01/05/23 at 02:19 p.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, reviewed Resident's
physician's order for RNA ambulation with RN 4. Registered Nurse 4 (RN4) stated that based on Resident
128`s physician order for RNA Ambulation, she should be provided 20 days in a month of RNA assisted
ambulation. According to RN 4, their RNA staff was out with an illness but is not an excuse for not providing
ambulation exercises. RN4 also stated, if no RNA program is provided to a resident such as walking
exercises, then a resident can decline to the point that her ambulation will be affected.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Restorative Nursing Program, dated 10/2022, indicated
that a Restorative Nursing Program helps maintain the strength, endurance and function of residents. It
also helps in functional mobility and activities of daily living (ADL`s). The program allows residents to feel in
control of their lives and to accept or adapt to the limitation of disability by following and individualized
program established by the skilled rehabilitation staff.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Physician Orders, dated 10/2022, indicated that this
facility shall ensure that all physician orders are completely and accurately implemented, and all telephone
orders are signed in a timely manner.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Care-Plans Comprehensive, dated 10/2022, indicated
that an individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet
the resident/patient`s medical, nursing, mental, and psychological needs is developed for each
resident/patient.
b. A review of Resident 155's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility admitted the resident on
8/07/2021, with diagnoses including osteoarthritis (a type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the
ends of bones wears down), hyperlipidemia (an abnormally high concentration of fats in the blood), and
dependence on wheelchair.

A review of Resident 155's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] (MDS, a standardized assessment and
care-screening tool) indicated the resident cognitive skills (cognition refers to conscious mental activities,
and include thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning, and remembering) for daily decision making was
intact. The MDS indicated the resident required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, toilet use,
personal hygiene, and bathing.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 155's physician's order dated 6/21/2022, indicated an order for Certified Nurse
Assistant (CNA) to provide Passive Range of Motion exercises to both lower extremities twice daily during
activities of daily living care (ADL- are activities related to personal care. They include bathing or showering,
dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating).
A review of Resident 155`s Care Plan for Self- Care Deficits and Impaired Mobility related to generalized
weakness, dated 9/09/2021, indicated a goal for the resident to gain independence in ADL activities and
mobility within 90 days. The Care Plan outlined interventions or approaches, including but not limited to
CNA for PROM exercises to both lower extremities three times a week as tolerated.
On 01/05/23 at 09:51 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, reviewed Resident 155's CNA
task documentation and licensed nurses Weekly Summary with RN 4 for the month of December 2022. RN
4 was unable to find documentation of the PROM exercises and stated that if it is not documented that
means it was not done. RN 4 stated that the CNAs are supposed to implement this intervention and
document in their task. According to RN4, if the PROM exercises to the resident`s lower extremities are not
done, these can lead to contractures and functional decline.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Restorative Nursing Program, dated 10/2022, indicated
that a Restorative Nursing Program helps maintain the strength, endurance, and function of residents. It
also helps in functional mobility and activities of daily living (ADL`s). The program allows residents to feel in
control of their lives and to accept or adapt to the limitation of disability by following and individualized

c. A review of Resident 24's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/10/2019 and
readmitted the resident on 9/22/2022, with diagnoses including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (afib, an
irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clot formation in the heart) and heart
failure (a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs).
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and screening too) dated 10/14/2022,

resident received an anticoagulant medication while in the facility.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident 24's Physician Orders indicated an order for Eliquis (apixaban, an AC medication),
tablet 2.5 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), orally for a diagnosis of afib, give twice a day at 8:30
a.m. and 4:30 p.m., dated 9/22/2022.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/4/2023 at 1:45 p.m., reviewed Resident 1's care plan
with RN 1. RN 1 stated Eliquis is a high-risk medication and residents taking this medication places the
resident at risk for bleeding. RN 1 stated there was no documented evidence of a care plan that specifically
addressed usage of an AC. RN 1 stated there should be a care plan for AC usage with interventions
including monitoring the resident for presence of hematuria, bloody stool, or gastrointestinal bleeding and
monitoring for laboratory tests results.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/4/2023 at 2:15 p.m., reviewed Resident 24's care
plans with the Minimum Data Set Nurse 1 (MDS Nurse 1). MDS Nurse 1 stated there was no documented
evidence of a CP for AC usage. MDS Nurse 1 also stated that there should be a CP in order to alert the
(team) that the resident was receiving Eliquis and the resident needed to be monitored for the side effects
of AC usage such as increased bleeding, hematuria, or bleeding from any other part of the body, and to
notify the physician if there were any issues.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/5/2023 at 1 p.m., reviewed Resident 24's care plans
with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated a skin CP was not an adequate CP for monitoring the
side effects and use of Eliquis. The DON stated is it important to have an AC usage CP to ensure
monitoring of the side effects of the medication such as bruising, bleeding of the gums, hematuria, and
nose bleeding.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Care Plan - Comprehensive, last reviewed 10/2022,
indicated an individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to
meet the resident/patient's medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs is developed for each
resident/patient. The facility's care planning/interdisciplinary team, in coordination with the resident, his/her
family or representative, develops and maintains a care plan for each resident that identifies the highest
level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. Each resident's care plan has been designed to:
incorporate identified problem areas, incorporate risk factors associated with identified problems, and aid in
preventing or reducing declines in the resident functional status. CP goals and objectives are defined as the
desired outcome for a specific resident. Goals and objectives are entered on the CP so that all disciplines
have access to such information and are able to modify and or adjust as needed for desired outcomes.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Anticoagulation Management and Monitoring Policy, last
reviewed 10/2022, indicated appropriate and therapeutic anticoagulation is necessary for stroke prevention
and prevention/treatment of venous thromboembolisms (blood clots). It is crucial these medications are
managed properly to reduce risks (i.e., bleeding) and maximize benefits to promote the safety and
wellbeing of residents. Residents receiving oral anticoagulation will be monitored for signs and symptoms of
bleeding and signs and symptoms of new thromboembolism (blood clots). If evident, the physician will be
notified immediately. Signs and symptoms of bleeding include (but are not limited) to the following:

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to revise the resident's care plan to reflect a
change in the physician's order for pressure ulcer's (PU - an injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting
from prolonged pressure on the skin) treatment for one (Resident 204) of three residents investigated for
pressure ulcers.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a delay in or lack of delivery of care and services.
Findings:
A review of Resident 204's Face Sheet indicated the resident was admitted , on 9/02/2022 and readmitted
on [DATE], with diagnoses that included dementia (a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at
least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (a chronic
disease characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood).
A review of Resident 204's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated
9/10/2022, indicated the resident had an intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding). The MDS indicated the resident required one-person extensive assistance with bed
mobility, dressing, eating, toileting, and personal hygiene, and one-person total assistance with bathing.
A review of the Physician Order Report indicated a physician order, dated 1/03/2023, for zinc oxide
ointment (a medicine used to treat or prevent minor skin irritations such as burns, cuts, and diaper rash)
20% apply sparingly, special instructions to wash coccyx with warm water and soap, pat dry, and apply thin
layer of zinc oxide dressing every shift for maintenance.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/06/2023 at 2:45 p.m., with Minimum Data Set Nurse
3 (MDS Nurse 3), Resident 204's care plan on pressure ulcer, initiated on 9/16/2022, was reviewed. The
care plan indicated the goal that Resident 204 would have no signs of infection during the healing process
with a target date of 10/16/2022. The care plan approach indicated hydrogel (a gel that gently increases the
moisture level within the wound, encouraging moist wound healing through debridement {the removal of
dead or infected skin tissue to help a wound heal}) as ordered. MDS Nurse 3 stated the resident's care plan
should be individualized and should have been revised timely to reflect the change in the treatment order.
The MDS Nurse 3 stated the care plan should reflect the current physician's orders for accuracy, so the
nurses were aware of the resident's plan of care.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plans - Comprehensive, last reviewed 10/2022,
indicated a policy to develop and individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable
objectives and timetables to the resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs. The policy
indicated care plans reflect the treatment goals are reviewed and/or revised as the resident's condition
changes and at least quarterly. The policy indicated that documentation must be consistent with the
resident's care plan.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide quality care in accordance with
professional standards of nursing practice by failing to ensure Xarelto (blood-thinning medication used to
treat and prevent blood clots) was held for a resident experiencing hematuria (blood in the urine) as
ordered by the physician for one of one sampled resident (Resident 211).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed Resident 211 at risk for further bleeding and had to potential to result in
adverse side effects including hypotension (low blood pressure), dizziness, and shortness of breath.
Findings:
A review of Resident 211's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident, on 4/27/2022, with
diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function in filtering wastes and
excess fluids from the blood) stage 3, anemia (condition in which the body does not have enough healthy
red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues), and gastrointestinal hemorrhage (mild to severe
bleeding that starts in the digestive tract often appearing in the stool or vomit).
A review of Resident 211's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and care screening tool), dated
11/4/2022, indicated the resident had the ability to make self usually understood and had the ability to
usually understand others. The MDS further indicated Resident 211 required extensive assistance from
staff with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 211's physician order, ordered on 4/29/2022, indicated Xarelto tablet 10 milligrams
(mg - unit of measure) oral once a day for deep vein thrombosis (DVT - a medical condition that occurs
when a blood clot forms in a deep vein within the body) prophylaxis, ordered on 4/29/2022.
A review of Resident 211's care plan for anticoagulant (a group of medications that decrease your blood's
ability to clot) use related to Xarelto, revised on 11/3/2022, indicated a goal that the resident would have no
signs and symptoms of adverse bleeding times three months and an intervention to observe for signs of
active bleeding that includes blood in the urine.
A review of Resident 211's progress note, dated 12/27/2022 at 3 a.m., by Licensed Vocational Nurse 10
(LVN 10), indicated resident was noted with pinkish urine in diaper and hematuria. The progress note
indicated Medical Doctor 1 (MD 1) was made aware with orders to hold Xarelto one time in a.m. today,
follow up with primary medical doctor (PMD), and labs.
A review of Resident 211's progress note, dated 12/27/2022 at 3:07 a.m., by MD 1 indicated the following
orders:
- Closely monitor, call if more hematuria noted.
- Hold Xarelto until further evaluation by PMD/nurse practitioner.
- Labs in a.m.: Complete blood count (CBC), basic metabolic panel (BMP), iron (Fe), and B12 panel.
- Follow up with PMD early in a.m.

Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 211's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for 12/2022 indicated Xarelto was
administered to the resident on 12/27/2022 at 8:30 a.m. by Licensed Vocational Nurse 7 (LVN 7). The MAR
further indicated the resident continued to receive Xarelto daily from 12/28/2022 to 1/5/2023.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/5/2023 at 2:42 p.m., LVN 7 reviewed Resident 211's
record and verified the order for Xarelto 10 mg oral daily has been active since ordered on 4/29/2022. LVN
7 confirmed the Xarelto order was never discontinued or modified for the medication to be held. LVN 7 then
reviewed Resident 211's MAR and confirmed she administered Xarelto for Resident 211 on 12/27/2022.
LVN 7 stated she received report from LVN 10, who worked the previous shift, that Resident 211 was noted
with hematuria and that MD 1 was informed. However, LVN 7 stated she was not informed that MD 1 gave
an order to hold Xarelto due to hematuria. LVN 7 reviewed Resident 211's progress note, dated 12/27/2022
at 3 a.m., documented by LVN 10, and verified the note indicated an order was received to hold Xarelto one
time in a.m. and to follow up with PMD. LVN 7 verified that she missed reading the progress note and was
not aware of the order since it was not communicated to her by LVN 10. LVN 7 confirmed Resident 211's
Xarelto should have been held on 12/27/2022 following the physician's order and that the order to hold the
medication should have been placed. LVN 7 confirmed LVN 10 did not enter an order to hold Xarelto and
stated that the licensed nurse receiving the order was responsible for entering any orders made by
physician over the phone right away. LVN 7 further stated Resident 211 continued to have hematuria in the
morning of 12/27/2022 during her shift which she communicated to the PMD. However, LVN 7 stated she
did not ask the PMD if she wanted to continue to hold the Xarelto. LVN 7 further reviewed Resident 211's
progress note, dated 12/27/2022 at 3:07 a.m., by MD 1 and verified orders to hold Xarelto until further
evaluation by the PMD or nurse practitioner. LVN 7 stated she should have held the Xarelto on the morning
of 12/27/2022 and followed up with the PMD to clarify if she wanted to hold the medication since the
resident was still having hematuria during her shift. LVN 7 confirmed resident did not have another episode
of hematuria since 12/27/2022 upon reviewing the progress notes but stated there was potential outcome
for further bleeding and hematuria by failing to hold the medication.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/5/2023 at 5:40 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON)
confirmed that LVN 10 had received an order from the physician to hold Xarelto one time due to hematuria
per Resident 211's progress note dated 12/27/2022 at 3 a.m. and also verified that no orders were placed
to hold the Xarelto on 12/27/2022 upon reviewing Resident 211's physician orders. The DON confirmed
Xarelto should have been held on 12/27/2022 and stated LVN 10 should have entered the order
immediately upon receiving it. The DON reviewed Resident 211's MAR for 12/2022 and confirmed Xarelto
was given on 12/27/2022. The DON stated LVN 7 should have held the Xarelto since the resident was still
having hematuria during her shift to prevent further bleeding and confirmed LVN 7 should have clarified
with Resident 211's PMD upon reviewing the MD 1's progress notes from 12/27/2022 to determine whether
they should hold the medication once the resident was evaluated. The DON further stated administering an
anticoagulant while Resident 211 is observed with hematuria can potentially result in worsening hematuria,
drop in blood pressure, and dizziness.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Physician Orders, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated
the facility shall ensure that all physician orders are completely and accurately implemented and all
telephone orders are signed in a timely manner. The policy and procedure further indicated the licensed
nurse will record telephone orders on the physician order sheet with the name of the prescribing physician
and the date, time, and signature of the person receiving the order and that telephone orders will be
transcribed and implemented promptly.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. A review of
Resident 44`s Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident, on 05/03/2022 with diagnoses that
included dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking
abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), abnormalities of gait and mobility (any deviations
from normal walking or gait), and hyperlipidemia (an abnormally high concentration of fats in the blood).
A review of the MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 44's cognitive skills (cognition refers to conscious
mental activities, and include thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning, and remembering) for daily
decision making was severely impaired. The MDS also indicated Resident 4 required extensive assistance
for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use, and for personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 44`s Physical Therapy Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated a
recommendation for a Restorative Nursing Program with a goal for resident to be able to walk in corridor
and in room with assistance of one staff and balance will be steady by performing restorative nursing
interventions. Restorative Nursing Interventions included the use of gait belt and use of walker with one
staff providing assistance.
A review of Resident 44` Fall Risk Predictive Factors Assessment (eight clinical condition parameters with
corresponding score), dated 11/15/2022, indicated the resident had a balance problem while standing with
fall history in the past three months. Resident 44 had a score of 20 indicating high risk for fall.
A review of Resident 44` Safety Events- Post Accident Assessment and Interventions, dated 11/03/2022,
indicated the resident had an unwitnessed fall in her room with no apparent injury. The assessment
indicated that the resident had a balance deficit and an unstable gait.
A review of Resident 44` Safety Events- Post Accident Assessment and Interventions, dated 11/29/2022,
indicated the resident had an unwitnessed fall in front of her room with no apparent injury. The assessment
indicated that the resident has a balance deficit and an unstable gait.
A review of Resident 44`s Care Plan (a form where you can summarize a person's health conditions,
specific care needs, and current treatments), dated 11/15/2022, indicated a problem of Self-Care Deficit
and Impaired Mobility related to impaired balance. The CP did not include an intervention to provide
Restorative Nursing Program.
On 01/05/23 at 08:16 a.m., during Resident 44`s record review and concurrent interview with Registered
Nurse 4 (RN4), RN 4 stated that the resident was discharged from Physical Therapy Treatment on
09/28/2022 with recommendations for RNA program. RN 4 stated based on the PT recommendations,
Resident 44 should have been enrolled in an RNA program for functional maintenance and mobility. RN 4
stated that one of the goals of an RNA program was to maintain the level of functional mobility and prevent
functional decline. RN4 stated if no RNA program was provided to a resident such as walking exercises,
then a resident could decline to the point that her ambulation would be affected. RN4 explained that when a
resident was discharged from PT, the PT staff would obtain an order for RNA from the primary care
physician. RN4, after reviewing Resident 44`s medical records confirmed that there was no order for RNA
program written for the resident. RN4 stated if the RNA program had been provided

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 01/05/23 at 10:07 AM, during Resident 44`s record review and interview with the Rehabilitation Director
(RD), the RD confirmed that there was no order obtained for an RNA program. RD stated RNA program
could help the residents improve their balance and the risk of fall could be minimized.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Restorative Nursing Program, dated 10/2022, indicated
that a Restorative Nursing Program helps maintain the strength, endurance and function of residents. It
also helps in functional mobility and activities of daily living (ADL`s-). The program allows residents to feel in
control of their lives and to accept or adapt to the limitation of disability by following and individualized
program established by the skilled rehabilitation staff.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with limited range
of motion received appropriate treatment and services to prevent further decrease in range of motion by:
1. Failure to ensure elbow splints were applied for one of three residents (Resident 53) investigated under
the Position/Mobility care area.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in decreased range of motion and worsening contractures
for Resident 53.
2. Failure to ensure a resident received Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA - nursing aide program that
helps residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) program to help maintain strength, endurance,
and functional mobility for one of two residents (Resident 44) investigated under Quality of Care.
This deficient practice resulted to failure in providing the necessary care and services and had the potential
to lead to an injury in the event of a fall accident.
Findings:
A review of Resident 53's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident, on 4/4/2016 and
readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia (a general term for loss of
memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with
daily life) and dependence on a wheelchair.
A review of Resident 53's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and screening too), dated 11/21/2022,
indicated the resident rarely/never had the ability to be understood by others and rarely/never had the ability
to make self-understood. The MDS indicated the resident was totally dependent on staff for bed mobility,
transfer, and locomotion; and the resident required extensive assistance with dressing, eating, toilet use,
and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 53's physician orders indicated a nursing order, dated 12/14/2022, that indicated to
please provide an elbow flexion contracture splint (a splint [a rigid or flexible device used to hold something
in place] used to treat the tightening of muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the elbow that cause a
decrease in range of motion)(comfy [a brand of splint]), please have the pt (patient) wear elbow flexion
splint for 2 hours on (and) 2 hours off.

A review of Resident 53's Care Plan (CP) titled, (Resident 53) has self-care deficits and impaired mobility
r/t (related to): advance age; non-ambulatory; and diagnoses of dementia, hypertensive heart disease
(heart problems that occur with high blood pressure) with CKD (chronic kidney disease (a condition that
results in the loss of kidney function) initiated 12/23/2019 and last edited 11/17/2022, indicated the
resident's goal was to maintain activities of daily living and mobility. The CP approach indicated the RNA
(Restorative Nurse Aide, a certified nursing assistant with additional training to provided care and services
to ensure residents maintain or regain functional gains made in physical, occupational and speech therapy)
was to provide elbow comfy orthoses (splint).
During an observation on 1/03/2023 at 10:55 a.m., Resident 53 was lying in bed with no elbow splints
applied.
During an observation and interview, on 1/4/2023 at 12:55 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant/Restorative
Nurse Aide 1 (CNA/RNA 1) assessed Resident 53 and stated the resident used only the hand splints
(palmar splints, splints used to prevent contracture of the palms) that were currently applied. Observed no
elbow splints applied to the resident.
During an observation and interview, on 1/05/2023 at 11:35 p.m., Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) assessed
Resident 53 and stated the resident used hand splints for contractures. RN 1 stated Resident 53 was not
wearing elbow splints. RN 1 stated splints were applied and removed by CNA/RNAs.
During an interview and record review, on 1/05/2023 at 11:40 a.m., with RN 1 and CNA/RNA 1, CNA/RNA
1 stated she cared for Resident 53 and did not apply elbow splints to the resident because there was no
task in the computer to apply them. CNA/RNA 1 stated the process to provide RNA services was the
Physical Therapist (PT) or Occupational Therapist (OT) trained and educated the CNA/RNAs on the (RNA)
orders, there was a daily task in the computer for the RNA (order), the CNA/RNA provided the service, then
they documented on the RNA task that RNA was completed. CNA/RNA 1 stated there was no
documentation that the elbow splints were applied because there was no task. RN 1 reviewed Resident
53's medical chart and stated there was no documented evidence that the elbow splints were applied.
During a concurrent observation, interview, and record review, on 1/05/2023 at 12 p.m., with the Rehab
Director (RD) and the OT, the OT reviewed Resident 53's OT Discharge Summary and Physician Orders
and stated the resident should be wearing bilateral elbow splints two hours on and two hours off daily. The
OT stated she trained the RNAs on the use of the elbow splints. The OT stated the elbow splints were
therapeutic and prevented further contractures. The RD stated the elbow splints were not to make the
contractures better, but to prevent worsening of the contractures. The RD stated if the splints were not
applied, the risk would be worsening of the contracture and pain or discomfort.
During an interview and record review, on 1/05/2023 at 12:35 p.m., RN 1 reviewed Resident 53's order for
elbow splints and stated the OT did not correctly enter the RNA order for elbow splints in the computer and
that was why the elbow splints were not applied.
During an interview, on 1/05/2023 at 1 p.m., the RD stated the Director of Nursing (DON) explained to her it
was a matter of how the order for the elbow splints was entered into the computer (on 12/14/2022) that
resulted in CNA/RNAs not applying the elbow splints. The RD stated it was important to enter the RNA
orders correctly to ensure the service was provided and the resident did not have a decline in function.

RNA program will start after the completion of a skilled rehabilitation treatment plan and additional training
provided by the rehabilitation staff. RNA will follow physician and skilled rehabilitation staff orders. The RNA
program established by the skilled therapist regarding the needs of each resident must be for the
maintenance of current functional status. RNA documentation will be completed and should contain
information pertaining to residents currently in the program. Daily treatment must be initialed on a monthly

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' safety for two of three
sampled residents (Residents 71 and 101) investigated under the accidents care area by failing to ensure
the staff did not leave residents unattended with the bed in the high position.
This deficient practice placed Resident 71 and 191 at risk for falls and serious injuries that include possible
fractures and bleeding.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 101's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident, on 2/27/2022, with
diagnoses that included dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes
with doing everyday activities), major depressive disorder (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest), and acquired absence of limb from history of left above knee amputation.
A review of Resident 101's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/9/2022, indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and had the ability to
understand others. The MDS further indicated Resident 101 required extensive assistance with bed
mobility, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene and was totally dependent on staff for transfers.
A review of Resident 101's Fall Risk Predictive Factors Assessment, dated 12/13/2022, indicated the
resident was a high risk for falls.
During an observation, on 1/03/2023 at 1:50 p.m., observed Resident 101 lying in bed with the bed in
elevated position with no staff present.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 1/03/2023 at 1:55 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 6
(CNA 6) observed and verified Resident 101's bed was in an elevated position while being left unattended.
CNA 6 stated she was in the room earlier and had left the resident to obtain supplies that she needed to
change the resident. CNA 6 stated the bed should be kept in the lowest position for residents who are high
fall risk. CNA 6 stated it was fine to keep the height of the bed elevated for Resident 101 since she never
saw the resident attempt to get out of bed.
During an interview, on 1/03/2023 at 2:40 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) reviewed Resident
101's most recent quarterly Fall Risk Predictive Factors Assessment, dated 12/13/2022, and confirmed the
resident was a high risk for falls. LVN 4 stated the bed should be returned to its lowest position any time
staff left residents identified as a high fall risk unattended by themselves including leaving the resident's
room briefly to get supplies. LVN 4 stated a staff member should have stayed with the resident if the bed
was to remain elevated. LVN 4 stated it was important to keep the bed in the lowest position for high fall risk
residents to ensure the resident's safety and to reduce the severity of the injury if the resident were to fall
from bed.
During an interview, on 1/05/2023 at 5:27 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated staff may raise the
height of the bed while providing care for residents. However, the DON stated it was standard

practice to keep the bed in low position and staff were expected to lower the bed once they were done
providing care or if they must leave the resident. The DON confirmed CNA 6 should have lowered the
height of the bed once she left the resident unattended even if it was for a short period of time. The DON
stated the importance of implementing low beds for high fall risk residents to lessen the impact of a fall from
bed in case a fall occurred and therefore potentially reduce the chances for major injury.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Fall Reduction/Prevention Program, last reviewed
10/2022, indicated the purpose of the policy was to ensure the resident environment remained as free from
accident hazards as is possible and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance devices
to prevent accidents. All residents would be assessed for fall risk and when such risk was identified, the
resident would be noted as a fall risk with appropriate interventions placed in the medical record.
b. A review of Resident 71's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident, on 5/04/2021, with
diagnoses that included unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbances and major depressive disorder
(a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with
one's daily functioning).
A review of Resident 71's History and Physical, dated 5/5/2021, indicated the resident had anxiety (a
mental health condition that may result in restlessness, irritability, feelings of nervousness, panic, and fear),
was hard of hearing, was not ambulatory, could not transfer independently, was confused and disoriented.
A review of Resident 71's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident rarely/never had the ability to be
understood by others and rarely/never had the ability to make self-understood. The MDS indicated the
resident required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, dressing, eating, toilet use and personal
hygiene.
A review of Resident 71's Fall Risk Predictive Factors Assessment form, dated 11/10/2022, indicated the
resident was a high risk for falls due to impaired mobility, poor judgement and safety awareness, medication
usage and predisposing diseases/conditions.
A review of Resident 71's Care Plan (CP) titled, At Risk for Falls/Injuries, initiated 8/4/2021, indicated the
resident had an unwitnessed fall on 9/10/2021 and was found lying flat on the floor beside the left side of
the bed. The CP indicated a goal to reduce the risk of fall with the following approaches: maintain safe
environment free from clutter, adequate lighting, remove or identify safety hazards.
During an observation, on 1/03/2023 at 12:05 p.m., observed Resident 71 lying in bed, unattended by staff,
with the bed in the high position.
During an interview, on 1/03/2023 at 2:40 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) stated she cared for
Resident 71 and the resident was confused and was a high risk for falls. LVN 5 stated the resident was not
able to verbalize her needs and was not able to walk but was able to move.
During an observation, on 1/03/2023 at 2:45 p.m., observed Resident 71 lying in bed, unattended by staff,
with the bed in the high position.

During an observation and interview, on 1/03/2023 at 2:50 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 4 (CNA 4)
assessed Resident 71 and stated the resident's bed was in the high position. CNA 4 stated she left the bed
in the high position and forgot to lower it when she changed the resident earlier in the day. CNA 4 lowered
Resident 71's bed to the low position and stated it was a big mistake. CNA 4 stated the importance of
keeping the bed in the low position and they (residents) could try to stand up and could fall.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview, on 1/03/2023 at 3 pm, LVN 5 stated it was not okay to leave Resident 71's bed in the
high position because she was a high risk for falls and had an actual fall in the facility.
During an interview and record review, on 1/5/2023 at 11:30 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the
residents' beds should never be kept in the high position because they could fall. The DON reviewed
Resident 71's CPs and stated the resident had a fall while in the facility. The DON stated it was standard
practice to keep the bed in the low position and the importance of the bed in the low position was to reduce
injury if Resident 71 fell.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Fall Reduction/Prevention Program, last reviewed
10/2022, indicated the purpose of the policy was to ensure the resident environment remained as free from
accident hazards as is possible and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance devices

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Replace a refrigerated emergency kit (e-kit, medications available for use in an emergency situation or a
new medication order in which the ordered medication has not yet arrived from pharmacy) within 72 hours.
This had the potential for residents to not receive a medication in an emergency situation which may result
in pain, injury, or loss of life.
2. Failed to properly dispose a controlled medication (substances that have accepted medical use, have
potential for abuse, and may also lead to physical and or psychological dependence)
hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 milligram (mg, a unit of measure) tab when it was found taped inside
the medication bubble pack (plastic packaging in which a medication is stored until ready to be used).
This deficient practice had the potential to place the facility at potential for inability to readily identify loss
and drug diversion (illegal distribution of abuse of prescription drugs or their use for unintended purposes)
of controlled medications.
Findings:
a. During the First Floor Medication Room observation on 01/03/23 at 10:13 a.m. with Registered Nurse 2
(RN 2), observed an e-kit from the refrigerator with a missing medication. RN 2 opened the e-Kit and
removed the paper that indicated Humalog insulin (an injectable medication to lower blood sugar) had been
removed for Resident 86 on 12/11/2022 at 10:30 a.m. RN 2 stated that was the date the medication was
removed from the container. RN 2 stated when a medication is removed from the e-kit, the licensed nurse
who removes the medication calls the pharmacist to replace the e-kit immediately. RN 2 was unsure how
long an e-kit could be in use before returning it to the pharmacy.
A review of Resident 86's Face Sheet (admission record) indicated the facility originally admitted the
resident on 8/12/2021 with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (a condition that affects how the body
uses blood sugar [glucose]).
A review of Resident 86's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/17/2022, indicated Resident 86 was cognitively intact (the process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) with skills required for daily decision making.
The MDS indicated Resident 86 required one-person extensive assistance (resident involved in activity,
staff provide weight-bearing support) with dressing, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 86's Physician's Order, dated 12/11/2022, indicated the following orders:
1. Humalog insulin 100 units per milliliter (units/ml, a unit of measure) subcutaneous injection (injecting a
medication by needle into the fatty tissue underneath the skin) one time on 12/11/2022.
2. Humalog insulin 100 units/ml subcutaneous injection for 3 units for diabetes mellitus before meals, dated
12/14/2022.

During a concurrent record review and interview with the Director of Nurses (DON) on 1/05/2023 at 2:40
p.m., reviewed the facility's policy and procedures titled, Supply of Medications used in Emergency
Situations, reviewed 10/2022. The DON stated Resident 86 had a new order for Humalog insulin on
12/11/2022. The DON stated the e-kit should have been replaced within 72 hours although the facility's
policy and procedures did not specify a time frame, only as soon as possible. The DON stated there is
potential for a resident to not get that type of insulin if they have high blood sugar.
b. During the Second Floor Medication Cart A observation on 1/05/2023 at 3:45 p.m., in the presence of
Licensed Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6), observed Resident 168's bubble pack for the medication,
hydrocodone (a narcotic medication to treat pain) 5-325 milligrams (mg, a unit of measure) tablet. Under
the 28th bubble pack, there was a hydrocodone tablet in which the card had been punched out with a piece
of tape in its place to hold the medication in the bubble pack. LVN 6 stated she did not know which licensed
nurse did that but the licensed nurse should have wasted the medication with another licensed nurse and
then documented on the 28th line on the controlled drug record sheet (controlled medication accountability
record).
During an interview with RN 5 on 1/05/2023 at 4 p.m., she observed Resident 168's bubble pack for the
medication, hydrocodone 5-325 mg tablets in which the medication in the 28th pocket was taped shut. RN 5
stated the process is that the licensed nurse should waste the medication with another licensed nurse and
then document on the 28th line on the controlled drug record sheet.
A review of Resident 168's Face Sheet (admission record) indicated the facility originally admitted the
resident on 11/09/2021 with diagnoses that included chronic pain (pain that is ongoing and lasts longer
than six months).
A review of Resident 168's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 168 was moderately impaired in
cognition (the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the
senses) with skills required for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 168 required
one-person extensive assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight-bearing support) with
dressing, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 168's Physician's Order, dated 11/15/2022, indicated an order for
hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg by mouth every four hours as needed for moderate to severe pain.
During an interview with the DON on 1/05/2023 at 4:30 p.m., he stated the hydrocodone tablet should not
have been taped into the bubble pack. The DON stated the process is that the licensed nurse should waste
the medication with another licensed nurse and then document on the 28th line on the controlled drug
record sheet. The DON stated there was a potential for medication diversion for this controlled drug.
During an interview with the DON and concurrent record review on 1/11/2023 at 12:13 p.m., reviewed
policy and procedures titled, Controlled Drugs - Patient Care Units, reviewed 10/2022. The policy indicated
any controlled substance wasted (dropped, contaminated, refused by the patient/resident, partial doses,
spit out doses, etc.) must be documented directly in the automated dispense cabinet (a computerized
medicine cabinet for hospitals and healthcare settings) and/or Medication Administration Record (MAR).
The DON stated, since the controlled drug was not in an automated dispensing cabinet, the equivalent of
that would be documentation on the controlled medication count sheet on paper. The DON stated the waste
should also be documented in the resident's MAR. The DON stated the wasting process is to be completed
and documented by two licensed nurses.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the consultant pharmacist's
recommendations regarding the use of lactulose (medication used to treat constipation) and docusate
sodium (medication used to soften stool and treat constipation) were acted upon for one of six sampled
residents (Resident 12) investigated under the care area of unnecessary medications.
This deficient practice had to potential for Resident 12 to receive unnecessary medications and placed the
resident at risk for adverse consequences (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may
have) and side effects (expected, well-known reaction that occurs with a predictable frequency and may or
may not rise to the level of being an adverse consequence).
Findings:
A review of Resident 12's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/2/2022, and most
recently readmitted the resident on 8/10/2022, with diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (a
serious condition that develops when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood) with hypoxia (low
level of oxygen in the body tissues), gastroesophageal reflux disease (a digestive disorder where stomach
acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach) without esophagitis
(inflammation of the muscular tube that passes food and drink from the mouth to the stomach) and
generalized muscle weakness.
A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and care screening tool), dated
12/22/2022, indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and had the ability to understand
others. The MDS further indicated Resident 12 required limited assistance with bed mobility, transfers, and
personal hygiene, and required extensive assistance from staff with dressing and toileting.
A review of Resident 12's physician orders indicated the following:
- Docusate sodium tablet 100 milligrams (mg - unit of measure) oral twice a day for diagnosis of
constipation, ordered on 8/10/2022.
- Lactulose solution (strength: 10 gram/15 milliliters [mL]) 15 mL oral at bedtime for diagnosis of
constipation, ordered on 8/10/2022.
A review of the Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review (MRR - a thorough evaluation of the
drug regimen of a resident with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse
consequences and potential risks associated with medication), dated 9/30/2022, indicated the following
recommendation for Resident 12:
- Please add hold for loose bowel movement (BM) to the following orders: docusate sodium and lactulose.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/6/2023 at 2:04 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON)
stated the consultant pharmacist conducts a monthly MRR by reviewing every resident's charts and
identifying irregularities (use of medication that is inconsistent with accepted standards of practice for

indication, monitoring, duration and excessive dose). The DON stated a report containing identified
irregularities is sent from the consultant pharmacist to the DON and medical records. The DON explained
he provides pharmacy recommendations directed towards nursing to the Registered Nurse (RN) unit
managers to follow through and medical records sends the pharmacy recommendations to the physicians
for any recommendations requiring a physician response. The DON stated the pharmacy recommendations
should be responded to as soon as practicable and prior to the next pharmacist visit for the monthly MRR.
The DON reviewed the Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review for September 2022 and
verified pharmacy recommendation for Resident 12 to include instructions to hold for loose BM in the
orders for docusate sodium and lactulose. The DON then reviewed Resident 12's physician's order for
lactulose and confirmed the order has not been updated since it was placed on 8/10/2022 and does not
contain instructions to hold for loose BM as recommended by the consultant pharmacist. The DON further
reviewed Resident 12's physician's order for docusate sodium and verified the instructions to hold for loose
stool was addressed late and added to the order, under special instructions, on 1/5/2023. The DON stated
the RN unit manager should have reviewed the consultant pharmacist's MRR and made sure the order for
lactulose was updated to include the recommended instructions. The DON further stated the instructions
should have been included in Resident 12's order for docusate sodium timely before the consultant
pharmacist conducted the next monthly MRR for October 2022. The DON stated the importance of
following through on the pharmacy recommendations for the resident's safety to ensure medications are not
given unnecessarily by cueing the nurse to hold the medication if the resident is having loose BM.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Consultant Pharmacist Medication Regimen Review,
last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated all consultation summaries of recommendations are sent to the Director
of Nursing and may be sent to the Medical Director. The policy and procedure further indicated the
physician or other responsible parties receiving the pharmacist's review and the Director of Nursing act
upon the recommendation in accordance with the interpretive guidelines as issued by the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Resident 147's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 2/6/2020 and readmitted
the resident on 12/28/2022 with diagnoses that included hemiplegia (paralysis that affects one side of the
body) and atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the
heart).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 147's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/11/2022, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (thought processes) and required
extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 147's Physician Order Report (a summary of the resident's physician's orders)
indicated an order for Eliquis (apixaban) 5 milligrams (mg - unit of measurement) oral (PO) twice a day
(BID) for atrial fibrillation, dated 12/29/2022.
A review of Resident 147's care plan (contains relevant information about a resident's diagnosis, the goals
of the treatment, the specific nursing orders, and an evaluation plan), initiated on 2/17/2020, indicated
anticoagulant (medicine that helps prevent blood clots) use related to atrial fibrillation. The long-term goal
indicated that the resident would have no signs or symptoms of adverse bleeding for three months. Among
some of the interventions listed was to observe for signs of active bleeding (nosebleeds, bleeding gums,
petechiae [pinpoint, round spots that appear on the skin as a result of bleeding], purpura [purple colored
blood spots on the skin], ecchymotic areas [bruises], hematoma [a pool of blood outside the blood vessel],
blood in urine, blood in stools [feces], hemoptysis [coughing up blood from the lungs], elevated
temperature, pain in the joints, abdominal [stomach] pain, and epistaxis [nosebleed].
On 1/5/2023 at 9:10 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Minimum Data Set Nurse 2
(MDS Nurse 2) confirmed she could not find any documented evidence that the licensed nurses were
monitoring for adverse side effects related to the use of Eliquis (apixaban).
On 1/6/2023 at 9:20 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important to
monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding, especially if the resident is on an anticoagulant, because the
medication placed the resident at higher risk of experiencing adverse side effects from the medication.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Anticoagulation Management & Monitoring Policy, last
reviewed on 9/2022, indicated that the resident will be monitored for signs or symptoms of bleeding at
treatment initiation, through the entire duration of treatment, and after discontinuation of an anticoagulant
agent.
i. A review of Resident 58's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/18/2019 with
diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (weakness or inability to move one side of the body),
atherosclerotic heart disease (the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery
walls), atrial flutter (a common disorder that causes the heart to beat in irregular patterns), and long-term

A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Anticoagulation Management & Monitoring Policy, last
reviewed on 9/2022, indicated that the resident will be monitored for signs or symptoms of bleeding at
treatment initiation, through the entire duration of treatment, and after discontinuation of an anticoagulant
agent.
j. A review of Resident 154's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/20/2022 with
diagnoses that included a history of thrombosis (occurs when blood clots block veins or arteries) and
embolism (a blocked artery caused by a foreign body, such as a blood clot or an air bubble) to the lower
extremities and long-term use of anticoagulants.
A review of Resident 154's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident was severely impaired in cognition
and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on the unit, dressing,
and toilet use.
A review of Resident 154's Physician Order Report indicated an order for Eliquis (apixaban) 5 mg orally
twice a day for venous thromboembolism (VTE - a term referring to blood clots in the veins) and pulmonary
embolism (PE - a blood clot that blocks and stops blood flow to an artery in the lung) treatment.
A review of Resident 154's care plan, initiated on 9/20/2022, indicated the resident is on an anticoagulant
related to a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT - when a blood clot [thrombus] forms in one or more of
the deep veins in the body) to the left lower extremity (LLE) and pulmonary embolism. The long-term goal
indicated that the resident will have no signs or symptoms of adverse bleeding for three months. Among
some of the interventions listed was to observe for signs of active bleeding (nosebleeds, bleeding gums,
petechiae, purpura, ecchymotic areas, hematoma, blood in urine, blood in stools, hemoptysis, elevated
temp, pain in joints, abdominal pain, and epistaxis).

On 1/5/2023 at 10:21 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, MDS Nurse 2 confirmed she
could not find any documented evidence that the licensed nurses were monitoring for adverse side effects
related to the use of Eliquis (apixaban).
On 1/6/2023 at 9:20 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important to
monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding, especially if the resident is on an anticoagulant, because the
medication placed him/her at higher risk of experiencing adverse side effects from the medication.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Anticoagulation Management & Monitoring Policy, last
reviewed on 9/2022, indicated that the resident will be monitored for signs or symptoms of bleeding at
treatment initiation, through the entire duration of treatment, and after discontinuation of an anticoagulant
agent.
c. A review of Resident 3's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/24/2020 and
readmitted the resident on 12/30/2022 with diagnoses including left first and second toe amputation
(removal of a limb by trauma, medical illness, or surgery), atrial fibrillation (a quivering or irregular heartbeat
that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications), and peripheral
vascular disease (PVD - a blood circulation disorder that causes the blood vessels outside of your heart
and brain to narrow, block, or spasm).
A review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 10/21/2022, indicated the resident had an intact cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses). The MDS indicated the
resident required supervision with eating; one-person limited assistance with personal hygiene and
locomotion on and off unit; and one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing,
toileting, and bathing.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 11:11 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 9 (LVN 9) stated that nurses just
visually monitor residents who are on anticoagulants but there was no task in the Medication Administration
Record (MAR - the report that serves as a legal record of the drugs administered to a resident at a facility
by a health care professional) to monitor the residents for bruising or bleeding. LVN 9 verified that there was
no documented evidence that the resident was being monitored for bleeding. LVN 9 stated it was important
to monitor the resident for bruising or bleeding so the physician would know if the medication needed to be
discontinued.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/5/2023 at 11:42 a.m., Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3)
stated Resident 3 had a physician's order for rivaroxaban (anticoagulant - medication that helps prevent
blood clots) 15 milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) oral (by mouth) once an evening for atrial
fibrillation. Upon review of Resident 3's MAR dated 1/5/2023, the resident received rivaroxaban 7 times
since readmission on [DATE]. When asked if the nurses are monitoring the resident for bruising or bleeding,
RN 3 stated that monitoring is not part of the physician's order and there was no documented evidence
indicating licensed nurses were monitoring the resident for bruising or bleeding. RN 3 stated it was
important to know if the resident had any bruising or bleeding so the physician would know if the medication
needed to be discontinued.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/6/2023 at 10:40 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON)

DON verified that there was no documented evidence of monitoring for rivaroxaban use. The DON stated
the facility policy and procedure indicated to monitor for the side effects of anticoagulant use. The DON
stated documentation was important because if it was not documented, then it was not done.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Anticoagulation Management and Monitoring Policy, last
reviewed 10/2022, indicated appropriate and therapeutic anticoagulation is necessary for stroke prevention
and prevention/treatment of venous thromboembolisms (blood clots). It is crucial these medications are

3. Ensure licensed nurses adequately monitored residents on Xarelto (rivaroxaban - an anticoagulant [used
to prevent blood clots from forming]) for adverse reactions or adverse side effects (unwanted undesirable
effects that are possibly related to a drug) for one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 3).
These deficient practices had the potential to result in residents receiving unnecessary medication and
placed the residents at risk for adverse consequences (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that
a drug may have) of prolonged use of medications.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 132's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/2/2017 and
readmitted the resident on 1/25/2021 with diagnoses that anxiety disorder (a mental health condition that
may result in feelings of nervousness, panic, and fear) psychophysiological insomnia (the inability to sleep
that may result from a stressor combined with fear of being unable to sleep) and atrial fibrillation (a. fib., an
irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the heart).
A review of Resident 132's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and screening too) dated 11/3/2022,
indicated the resident had the ability to be understood by others and had the ability to make
self-understood. The MDS indicated the resident required limited assistance with bed mobility, dressing,
toilet use, and personal hygiene. The MDS further indicated the resident received antianxiety medication
while in the facility.
A review of Resident 132's Physician Orders indicated the following order:
- Ativan - Schedule IV (a controlled substance), Tablet: 0.5 milligram (mg, a unit of measurement), amount
(to administer): 0.25 mg orally. Special instructions: diagnosis: Anxiet (anxiety) manifested by (m/b) overly
concern of health. Hold (do not administer) for sedation, (give) at bedtime; 10 p.m., dated 9/14/2021.
During an interview and record review on 1/5/2023 at 10:45 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5)
stated she cared for Resident 132 and the resident was administered a low dosage of Ativan in the
evenings because she gets restless and anxious towards the night. LVN 5 reviewed Resident 132's
Physician Orders and Medication Administration Record (MAR) and stated the Ativan order indicated to
monitor every shift for overly concern of health. LVN 5 stated she was not sure how to monitor for overly
concern of health, but she documented in the MAR the number of times the resident manifested the
behavior and it never occurred on her shift. LVN 5 stated the manifestation did not seem like a very specific
behavior that could be monitored. LVN 5 stated they should probably monitor the number of times the
resident verbalized concerns regarding her health. LVN 5 stated the behavior to monitor would be the
verbalization of concern. LVN 5 stated she should clarify with the physician regarding the behavior
manifestation to monitor because it should be more specific to monitor for the behavior occurrence.
During an interview and record review on 1/5/2023 at 10:55 a.m., RN 1 stated when a resident receives
Ativan in the facility, they monitor specific behaviors. RN 1 stated Resident 132 was receiving Ativan and
verbalizes concerns regarding her medications. RN 1 stated there are other ways to manifest overly
concern of health that include pacing or similar behaviors, but Resident 132 verbalizes concerns about
medications and her health. RN 1 stated it is important to have measurable, specific

behavior manifestations to monitor and document to assess the appropriateness of the medication and
attempt a gradual dose reduction (GDR) to determine if a resident still needs a medication or doesn't meet
the criteria for the medication to be given.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 11:20 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated for Ativan, and other
antianxiety medications, the importance of having a specific targeted behavior is to be able to measure the
behavior to know if the medication is appropriate and to know if a high risk medication is necessary. The
DON stated Resident 132's manifested behavior to monitor for the use of Ativan should include the
verbalization of concerns to be more specific and measurable.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to:
1. Discard discontinued bubble packs (a package that contains multiple sealed compartments with
medication) for two sampled residents (Resident 7 and Resident 164) from one of five medication carts (1st
Floor Medication Cart B) investigated during the facility task Medication Storage and Labeling.
This deficient practice had the potential for residents to receive medications that were not ordered for them
or medications that were already expired and ineffective.
2. Maintain the refrigeration log with the correct safe temperature range, according to the facility's policy
and procedures, for refrigerated stored medications for one of five medication rooms (Third Floor
Medication Room) investigated during the facility task Medication Storage and Labeling.
This deficient practice had the potential for harm to residents due to the potential loss of strength of the
drugs, and the potential for the residents to receive ineffective drug dosages.
Findings:
1a. During a medication cart observation (inspection) of 1st Floor Medication Cart B on [DATE] at 10:48
a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), observed Resident 7's lisinopril (a medication to lower
blood pressure) 10 milligrams (mg, a unit of measure) bubble pack stored in the medication cart. LVN 2
verified Resident 7 did not have an active order for the use of lisinopril 10 mg. LVN 2 stated the
discontinued bubble pack should have been taken out of the medication cart and been put in the
medication room for destruction.
A review of Resident 7's Face Sheet (admission record) indicated the facility originally admitted the resident
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hypertensive chronic kidney disease (a medical condition referring
to damage to the kidney due to chronic high blood pressure).
A review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated [DATE], indicated Resident 7 was cognitively intact (the process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) with skills required for daily decision making.
The MDS indicated Resident 7 required one-person extensive assistance (resident involved in activity, staff
provide weight-bearing support) with bed mobility, dressing, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 7's Physician's Orders indicated the following orders:
1. Lisinopril 10 mg by mouth every day for hypertension (HTN - elevated blood pressure), ordered on
[DATE] and discontinued on [DATE].
2. Lisinopril 10 mg by mouth twice a day for hypertension, ordered [DATE] and discontinued [DATE].
3. Lisinopril 15 mg (strength of each tablet is 5 mg) by mouth twice a day for hypertension, ordered [DATE].

A review of Resident 7's Care Plan for Alteration in Cardiac Status, initiated [DATE], indicated a goal that
signs and symptoms of hypertension will be managed daily. The care plan indicated an intervention to
monitor blood pressure as ordered.
During an interview and concurrent record review on [DATE] at 3:03 p.m., reviewed the policy and
procedure titled, Disposition of Controlled and Non-Controlled Medication, reviewed in 10/2022. The
Director of Nursing (DON) stated discontinued medications should be taken out of the medication cart and
placed in the medication room the day the medication order was discontinued even though the time frame
was not specified in the policy. The DON verified Resident 7 did not have an active order for the use of
lisinopril 10 mg and stated the last order would have been discontinued on [DATE].

procedure titled, Medication Refrigerator Storage for Nursing Floor Medication Room, reviewed 10/2022.
The policy indicated the refrigerator temperature range was to be between 36 degrees to 46 °F which
corresponds to 2 to 8 °C. The DON stated the log medication refrigerator temperature parameters
(limit or boundary) were incorrect on the medication logs for all five refrigerator logs and would be
corrected. The DON stated he was not sure how long this medication refrigerator log was being used by
licensed nursing staff. The DON stated there was a potential to cause confusion among licensed nursing
staff about what the actual parameters were and had the potential for the refrigerator to be maintained at
incorrect temperatures thus making medications ineffective for their intended use.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to:
1. Follow the practice of proper personal hygiene when one dietary aide (DA 1) out of seven sampled
dietary staff was observed not wearing a hair restraint while in the kitchen.
2. Ensure the kitchen's ice machine (Kitchen 2) was free from red spots on the inside of the ice machine.
3. Ensure that raw chicken was not placed on a rack in the refrigerator above a pan of onions.
4. Follow safe food handling practices by failing to label with open date and best by date a partially used
bag of sliced bread.
These deficient practices had placed the residents at risk for foodborne illness (an infection or irritation of
the gastrointestinal tract [including the stomach and intestines] caused by food or beverages that contain
harmful bacteria/germs, chemicals, or other organisms) with common symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,
stomach cramps, and diarrhea for 218 residents on oral feeding.
Findings:
a. During a kitchen observation and interview on 1/03/2023 at 8:13 a.m., observed DA 1 not wearing a hair
net after entering the kitchen area. DA 1 stated she should have been wearing a hair net. The Dietary
Supervisor (DS 1) stated DA 1 should have gotten a hair net in the hair net holder just inside the kitchen
door entrance.
During an interview with DS 1 on 1/03/2023 at 8:14 a.m., DS 1 stated all staff should wear a hair net while
working in the kitchen. DS 1 stated DA1 should have been wearing a hair net so that food would not
become contaminated.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Hair Restrains/Jewelry/Nail Polish, reviewed 10/2022,
indicated hair restraints (hair nets) shall be worn by all dietary services employees while on duty in the
dietary department.
b. During a kitchen observation and interview with DS 1 and DA 2 on 1/03/2023 at 8:16 a.m., observed the
two ice machines. Wiped the top inside portion of Kitchen 2 ice machine with a clean napkin with gloved
hand and saw red specks on the paper towel. DS 1 stated DA 2 cleans the ice machine monthly. DS 1
presented the facility's Ice Machine Cleaning Log which indicated the last time staff documented the ice
machines were cleaned was on 6/14/2022. DA 2 stated the last time the ice machines were cleaned was
11/19/2022.
During an interview with the Lead Dietary Supervisor (DS 2) on 1/03/2023 at 9:10 a.m., he stated the ice
machine should be cleaned monthly according to their policy. DS 2 stated there is a potential for causing a
food borne illness if ice machines are not cleaned each month.
A review of the facilities policy and procedure titled, General Sanitation, reviewed 10/2022, indicated at
least monthly ice making machines are to be turned off, emptied, cleaned with a soap

DS 2 stated the raw chicken pan should be placed on the bottom shelf so that it does not leak any liquid
into any food pans in the shelf below. DS 2 stated this could potentially cause Salmonella infection
(bacterial infection caused from eating raw chicken) in those eating the onions.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of the facilities policy and procedure titled, Storing Refrigerated/Frozen Foods, reviewed 10/2022,
indicated raw foods are to be stored on bottom shelves in case of leakage.
d. On 01/03/23 at 10:36 a.m., during a kitchen tour observation and interview, accompanied by DS 1 and
DS 2, observed a partially used bag of sliced bread with no label as to when it was opened and no label as
to when to discard. According to DS 2, the sliced bread had to be discarded since it had no open date label
and there was no way to determine if it was past the best by date or discard date. Per DS 2, the sliced
bread was no longer safe for consumption as it might already be spoiled.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedures dated 10/2022, titled Storing Dry Foods, indicated that dry
foods will be stored in a safe and sanitary manner. Breads removed from the freezer are dated upon
thawing and are used within 7 days.

Resident 173's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/15/2020 with diagnoses that
included chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 173's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 9/23/2022, indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognitive (thought processes) skills for
daily decision making and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on
and off the unit, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
On 1/3/2023 at 11:53 a.m., during an observation, observed CNA 7 in the hallway speaking loudly to the
resident. When the resident could not understand what she was saying, observed CNA 7 pull down her N95
respirator and lean in close to the resident's face to speak to him.
On 1/5/2023 at 11:21 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated the CNA
should not have pulled her mask down to speak to the resident, especially if they were still in a resident
care area. The DSD stated it was important not to modify or remove one's mask in order to protect oneself
and the resident from droplets.
On 1/6/2023 at 9:20 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated he has seen staff
pulling down their mask sometimes saying that the resident cannot hear them, and the resident read their
lips. The DON stated this should not be done; however, in order to prevent the spread of infection. The DON
stated that if the resident could not hear what was being said, then the staff should at least step back six
feet.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Transmission-Based Precautions, last reviewed on
10/2022, indicated that in addition to standard precautions (practices that protect healthcare providers from
infection and prevent the spread of infection from patient to patient), use transmission-based precautions
for residents/patients with documented or suspected infection or colonization (germs are in the body but do
not make the person sick) with highly transmissible or epidemiologically important pathogens for which
additional precautions are needed to prevent transmission. Droplet transmission are respiratory droplets
carrying infectious pathogens which transmits infection through coughing, sneezing, etc.
c. A review of Resident 119's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 2/1/2019
and readmitted the resident on 11/29/2019 with diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease.
A review of Resident 119's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition and
required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal
hygiene.
On 1/3/2023 at 12:43 p.m., during an observation, observed CNA 8 inside a contact/droplet isolation room
assisting Resident 119 with feeding. Observed CNA 8 not wearing a gown.
On 1/3/2023 at 2:23 p.m., during an interview, CNA 8 stated she was supposed to wear a gown when going
into a contact/droplet isolation room.

shields (a form of PPE used to protect the eyes, nose and mouth from splashes and sprays of body fluids),
and masks.
On 1/6/2023 at 9:20 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that gowns should be
worn inside contact/droplet isolation rooms, even if the staff is just assisting with feeding the resident. The
DON stated it was important to wear proper PPE in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Transmission-Based Precautions, last reviewed on
10/2022, indicated that in addition to standard precautions, use transmission-based precautions for
residents/patients with documented or suspected infection or colonization with highly transmissible or
epidemiologically important pathogens for which additional precautions are needed to prevent transmission.
Use contact precautions as recommended for residents/patients with known or suspected infections or
evidence of syndromes that represent an increased risk for contact transmission. PPE are used for any
room entry. PPE includes gloves, gowns, and eye wear (if potential for splash). [NAME] upon entry to the
resident's room.
d. A review of Resident 39's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 1/28/2017
and readmitted the resident on 10/3/2022 with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD - a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs).
A review of Resident 39's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition
(thought processes).
A review of Resident 39's Physician Order Report (a summary of the resident's physician's orders)
indicated an order for continuous oxygen at 0.5 liters per minute (LPM - unit of measurement) via nasal
cannula (a medical device used to provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen
levels), dated 10/12/2022.
On 1/3/2023 at 10:54 a.m., during an observation, observed Resident 39 asleep in bed. The resident was
wearing her nasal cannula, and the oxygen tubing was on the floor.
On 1/3/2023 at 11:03 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Licensed Vocational Nurse 3
(LVN 3) confirmed that the resident's oxygen tubing was on the floor and stated it should not be on the floor.
On 1/6/2023 at 9:20 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that oxygen tubing
should not be on the floor for infection prevention, so that germs do not spread from the floor to the tubing
and to the resident.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Oxygen Equipment, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated
that the purpose of the policy was to prevent respiratory infection from oxygen equipment

e. A review of Resident 12's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/2/2022, and most
recently readmitted the resident on 8/10/2022, with diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (a
serious condition that develops when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood) with hypoxia (low
level of oxygen in the body tissues), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of diseases
that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), and asthma (chronic condition that affects the
airways in the lungs).
A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and care screening tool), dated
12/22/2022, indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and had the ability to understand
others. The MDS further indicated Resident 12 required limited assistance with bed mobility, transfers, and
personal hygiene, and required extensive assistance from staff with dressing and toileting.
A review of Resident 12's physician orders indicated an order for oxygen one liter via nasal cannula
continuously, okay to titrate to two liters during meals and when walking, ordered on 8/10/2022.
A review of Resident 12's Care Plan for respiratory system related to COPD, asthma, and cough, last
revised on 12/29/2022, indicated an intervention to change oxygen tube and bag every Sunday and to label
tube and bag once a day on Sundays.
During an observation, on 1/3/2023 at 11:10 a.m., observed Resident 12 sitting in a wheelchair on one liter
of oxygen via nasal cannula connected to a portable oxygen tank. Observed nasal cannula tubing
unlabeled with no date. Observed Resident 12's second nasal cannula that was not in use touching the
floor and out of the plastic storage bag at bedside.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 1/3/2023 at 11:16 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 7
(LVN 7) observed and verified the nasal cannula that Resident 12 was wearing was undated and the other
nasal cannula that was not in use observed at bedside was touching the floor. LVN 7 stated the nasal
cannula should be off the floor at all times and should be placed inside the storage bag when not in use.
LVN 7 also confirmed the nasal cannula that Resident 12 was currently wearing only had the resident's
name written on the tubing. LVN 7 explained the nasal cannula is changed once every week on Sundays by
the dayshift nurse and the nurse who changes the tubing should be labeling it with the resident's name and
the date it was changed. LVN 7 stated the importance of labeling the nasal cannula with the date and
keeping the tubing off the floor and storing it properly inside a bag when not in use for infection control and
for staff to know when the tubing was last changed so they know when to replace it again. LVN 7 stated she
will change both nasal cannulas for Resident 12 since the one that the resident is wearing in undated while
the other has been contaminated from touching the floor.
During an interview, on 1/5/2023 at 5:32 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the nasal cannula
should be changed every seven days and as needed if contaminated and confirmed the nurse should be
labeling the tubing with the date every time it is changed for staff to know when it should be changed again.
The DON further stated the nasal cannula should not be touching the floor and properly stored in plastic
bag when not in use to prevent the tubing from being contaminated. The DON stated labeling the nasal
cannula and ensuring its proper storage is important for infection control purposes.

f. A review of Resident 204's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/2/2022 and
readmitted the resident on 9/16/2022 with diagnoses including cerebral atherosclerosis (thickening or
hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque [a fatty, waxy substance that forms deposits in the
artery wall] in the inner lining of arteries [the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood from the heart to
the body]) in the brain, dementia (a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain
functions, such as memory loss and judgment), and diabetes mellitus type 2 (a chronic disease
characterized by how the body processes sugar in the blood).
A review of Resident 204's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
9/10/2022, indicated the resident had an intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding). The MDS indicated the resident required one-person extensive assistance with bed
mobility, dressing, eating, toileting, and personal hygiene, and one-person total assistance with bathing.
A review of Resident 204's Physician Order Report indicated the following orders:
1. Albuterol sulfate solution (a medication used to treat wheezing [a high-pitched whistling sound when the
airway is partially blocked] and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems) for nebulization; 2.5
milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) per 3 milliliters (ml - a unit of measurement) (0.083 percent [%]);
amount: 1 unit dose (a unit of measurement); inhalation special instructions: dx: coughing give with
ipratropium (a medication used to control and prevent symptoms of wheezing and shortness of breath
caused by ongoing lung disease) via hand held nebulizer (HHN - a small machine that turns liquid medicine
into a mist) every 6 hours
2. Ipratropium bromide solution; 0.02%; amount: unit dose; inhalation special instructions: cough every 6
hours
A review of Resident 204's Medication Administration Record (MAR - the report that serves as a legal
record of the drugs administered to a resident at a facility by a health care professional) indicated albuterol
sulfate and ipratropium bromide were last administered on 1/3/2023 at 8:30 a.m.
During an observation on 1/3/2023 at 11:15 a.m. in Resident 204's room, observed the nebulizer machine
on top of the bedside table with the tubing hanging on the side, not properly placed inside the storage bag,
and touching the floor.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/3/2023 at 11:21 a.m., Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3)
confirmed that the nebulizer tubing was hanging on the side of the table, not properly placed inside the
storage bag, and touching the floor. RN 3 stated that the tubing should be properly placed inside the bag
and not touching the floor. RN 3 stated it is an infection control issue and had the potential for
contamination of the tubing.

g. A review of Resident 121's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/1/2016 and
readmitted the resident on 7/1/2022 with diagnoses including dementia (a group of conditions characterized
by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment), seizures (a medical
condition when there is a temporary, unstoppable surge of electrical activity in the brain), gastrostomy (a
medical procedure in which a tube is placed into the stomach for nutritional support).
A review of the physician's Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF - an inpatient facility type that provides short- or
long-term rehabilitation services to senior patients) Visit Note dated 12/6/2022 indicated Resident 121 was
unable to make their own medical decision.
A review of Resident 121's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
12/2/2022, indicated that the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated the resident required one-person total
assistance with eating; one-person extensive assistance with locomotion on and off unit, dressing, and
person hygiene; and two-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and bathing.
A review of Resident 121's Physician's Order Report indicated an order dated 12/4/2021 to suction
secretions as needed.
A review of Resident 121's care plan on risk for aspiration (refers to the drawing in of a foreign substance

A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Suctioning, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated the
purpose of the policy to help prevent nosocomial infections (a type of infection acquired during the process
of receiving health care that was not present during admission) associated with suctioning and to prevent
transmission of infections to residents/patients/staff. The policy indicated to date, time and initial the new
suction catheter every shift or as needed. The policy indicated to place the suction catheter in a clean
plastic bag and change every seven days or as needed if soiled and dated, timed and initialed.
Residents Affected - Some
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement infection control policy
and procedures by failing to:
1. Ensure six of seven surveyors were screened for Coronavirus disease -2019 (COVID-19, a highly
contagious viral infection that can trigger respiratory tract infection) upon entering the facility.
2. Ensure Certified Nursing Assistant 7 (CNA 7) did not pull down her N95 respirator (a respiratory [related
to breathing] protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of
airborne particles) to speak to a resident for one (Resident 173) out of 10 sampled residents investigated
for infection control.
3. Ensure Certified Nursing Assistant 8 (CNA 8) wore a gown while feeding a resident inside a
contact/droplet isolation room (an isolated room used to prevent the spread of germs that are spread either
by touching the resident or items in the room or germs that are spread through respiratory secretions [fluid
from the lungs]) for one (Resident 119) out of 10 sampled residents investigated for infection control.
4. Ensure that a resident's oxygen tubing (device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow
to a resident in need of respiratory help) was not on the floor for one (Resident 39) out of 10 sampled
residents investigated for infection control.
5. Ensure the nasal cannula (thin, flexible tube containing two open prongs used to deliver oxygen) was
labeled with the date it was changed for one of four sampled residents (Resident 12) investigated for
infection control.
6. Ensure the residents' nasal cannulas were not touching the floor and were stored properly inside a
plastic storage bag when not in use for four of four sampled residents (Resident 12 , 74, 48, and 74)
investigated for infection control.
7. Ensure the nebulizer (a small machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist) tubing was placed properly
inside the plastic storage bag when not in use and not touching the floor for one (Resident 204) of two
sampled residents investigated under infection control.
8. Ensure the Yankauer suction catheter (a rigid, bent, plastic catheter used to suction oropharyngeal [part
of the throat at the back of the mouth] secretions) was dated when last changed and placed properly inside
a storage bag for one of two sampled residents (Resident 121) investigated under infection control.

Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
a. During an observation on 1/3/2023 at 7:40 a.m., with the Executive Administrative Assistant (AADM), six
surveyors entered the first-floor lobby, facility staff members walked past surveyors without speaking to
them. The AADM met six surveyors shortly after entering the facility. The AADM was notified that the
surveyors were at the facility to conduct the recertification survey. The AADM proceeded to escort the
surveyors to the fourth floor, past the nursing station and resident rooms, to the fourth-floor conference
room.
During an observation and interview on 1/3/2023 at 9:13 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) stated
she was stationed at the front lobby desk and was the COVID-19 designated screener. CNA 2 stated she
works weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and nobody was assigned to be the designated screener prior to her
arrival. CNA 2 stated all visitors should be screened for signs and symptoms of, and exposure, to
COVID-19 prior to entry to the facility. CNA 2 stated the facility's Visitor/Vendor Screening Log should be
completed for all visitors when they are screened. CNA 2 stated if a visitor did not screen, had a positive
test, or showed signs and symptoms of COVID-19, then they are not allowed entry to the facility. CNA 2
was notified of six surveyors that were not screened prior to entry. CNA 2 stated the surveyors should have
been screened and requested surveyors return to the lobby to be screened.
During an interview on 1/3/2023 at 9:25 a.m., the AADM stated there is usually a designated screener from
the medical records department at the front lobby desk starting at 5:30 a.m., but she was off today. The
AADM stated the surveyors were not asked if they were screened for COVID-19 prior to entering the facility.
During an interview on 1/4/2023 at 7:45 a.m., [NAME] Clerk 1 (WC 1) stated she begins work at 5:30 a.m.
in the medical records department and screens visitors until 8 a.m. WC 1 stated she was off on 1/3/2023
and did not know who screened visitors when she was off.
During an interview on 1/4/2023 at 9:37 a.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated there is an assigned
designated screener for visitor entry starting at 5:30 a.m. The IP stated prior to 5:30 am and as needed, the
first-floor staff provide screening of visitors. The IP stated the first-floor staff was responsible for symptom
and exposure screening of the surveyors prior to entry because there was no designated screener at that
time. The IP stated the importance of COVID-19 screening was to identify if anyone had symptoms in order
to prevent the spread of disease to residents and staff.
During an interview and record review on 1/5/2023 at 9:37 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed
the facility Mitigation Plan policy and procedures and stated all visitors should be COVID-19 screened prior
to entering the facility. The DON stated the importance of screening was to catch anyone with symptoms of
COVID-19 and prevent them from entering the facility and spreading infection.
A review of the COVID-19 Facility Mitigation Plan (identifies policies and procedures taken to reduce risk
and minimize loss in the event of disasters/emergencies) policy and procedures, last reviewed 10/2022,

Residents Affected - Some
COVID-19 Pandemic in accordance with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) requirement
that all skilled nursing facilities develop and implement a CDPH approved COVID-19 mitigation plan. The
purpose of the policy was to state the facilities understanding of how to manage and conduct actions under
emergency conditions to mitigate the impact of a potential outbreak of COVID-19 in the facility. The MP
indicated the facility would screen and document individuals entering the facility for COVID-19 symptoms.
Visitors to the facility would complete their Visitor /Vendor Screening Log and be screened for questions
regarding COVID-19 symptoms and for close contact with confirmed or suspected cases. Visitors permitted
entry would record their name and contact information for possible contact tracing. Visitors known to be
positive for COVID-19 or with symptoms of a respiratory infection (i.e. cough, shortness of breath, etc)
would not be permitted to enter the facility at any time. The facility would have designated staff to perform
screening for healthcare personnel and visitors.
h. A review of Resident 74's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 6/1/2018
and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus (a condition that affects the
way the body regulates and uses blood sugar) and allergic rhinitis (a diagnosis associated with a group of
symptoms affecting the nose; these symptoms occur when you breathe in something you are allergic to,
such as dust and pollen).
A review of Resident 74's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/2/22 indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated Resident 74 required two-person extensive assistance with bed mobility and toilet use;
required two-person total assistance with transfer; and required one-person extensive assistance with
dressing and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 74's Physician Orders dated 1/2023 indicated oxygen at two liters per minute (LPM - a
measurement of the flow rate at which air flows into the nostrils [openings to your nose] over a period of
one minute) via nasal cannula as needed for blood oxygen level less than 93%.
A review of Resident 74's Care Plan last revised on 12/2/2022 indicated respiratory system (the network of
organs and tissues that help you breathe) problem related to allergic rhinitis. The Care Plan indicated
monitor blood oxygen level, give oxygen through nasal cannula as ordered, and store mask or cannula in a
bag when not in use.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/3/2023 at 10:43 a.m., in Resident 74's room, observed
with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) Resident 74's nasal cannula was on the floor. LVN 1 stated
Resident 74's nasal cannula was on the floor but should have been inside a bag. LVN 1 stated the nasal
cannula had been contaminated because the floor was dirty. LVN 1 stated had the resident used the nasal
cannula that had already been on the floor, the resident could get an infection.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 10:29 a.m., Registered Nurse 3 (RN 3) stated Resident 74's nasal
cannula should not have been on the floor but should have been stored in a bag when not in use. RN 3
stated the resident's nasal cannula that was on the floor was an infection control problem because the floor
was considered dirty. RN 3 stated if the nasal cannula was used after it had already been on the floor, this
placed the resident at risk for respiratory problem such as a trigger of allergy because the resident had a
diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. RN 3 stated it was the facility's responsibility to monitor Resident 74's nasal
cannula to ensure it was not on the floor especially because the resident tends to remove the nasal
cannula.
During an interview on 1/5/2023 at 3:15 p.m., Infection Preventionist (IP) stated Resident 74's

nasal cannula should not have been on the floor but should have been stored in a bag when not in use. IP
stated the nasal cannula could have picked up organisms (livings things capable of growing such as
bacteria) on the floor and if the resident were to use the nasal cannula, it could cause infection.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Oxygen Management, dated 10/2022, indicated,
Infection Control . The oxygen cannula, mask, and tubing shall be dated and changed every seven days
and as needed. The cannula, mask, and tubing will be stored in a plastic bag when not in use .
i. A review of Resident 48's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 9/20/2021
and readmitted the resident on 4/16/2022 with diagnosis including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD - a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems).
A review of Resident 48's MDS dated [DATE] indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood
and understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 48 required one-person extensive assistance with bed
mobility, transfer, dressing, and toilet use; required one-person limited assistance with personal hygiene;
and required setup and supervision with eating.
A review of Resident 48's Physician Orders dated 1/2023 indicated oxygen at two
LPM via nasal cannula as needed to keep blood oxygen level above 92%.
A review of Resident 48's Care Plan dated 9/21/2022 last revised on 1/4/2023 indicated the resident had
respiratory system problem related to COPD and smoking.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/3/2023 at 12:09 p.m., in Resident 48's room, observed
with RN 2 Resident 48's nasal cannula hanging on an oxygen tank and dolly (a cart with wheels used to
transport objects) without a bag. RN 2 stated Resident 48's nasal cannula was hanging over the dolly of an
oxygen tank without a bag and part of the tubing was touching the floor. RN 2 stated leaving the nasal
cannula without storing in a bag hanging on a dolly was not a correct procedure; RN 2 stated the nasal
cannula should have been stored in a bag when not in use. RN 2 stated Resident 48 had respiratory issues
and required oxygen as needed. RN stated storing the nasal cannula without a bag could potentially place
the resident at risk for infection if the resident were to use the nasal cannula.

hanging over an oxygen tank or dolly but should have been stored in a bag when not in use. IP stated the
nasal cannula had been contaminated because the surface of the oxygen tank might have had organism
causing infection. IP stated a nasal cannula is used through the nose and if the resident were to use a
contaminated nasal cannula, it could cause the resident respiratory infection.
A review of the P&P, titled, Oxygen Management, dated, 10/2022, indicated, Infection Control . The oxygen
cannula, mask, and tubing shall be dated and changed every seven days and as needed. The cannula,
mask, and tubing will be stored in a plastic bag when not in use .
