Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that promoted or
enhanced resident's dignity and respect by failing to ensure staff was not standing over resident while
eating for one of seven sampled residents (Resident 90).
This deficient practice had the potential to cause psychosocial harm and can resident's right to be treated
with dignity for Resident 90.
Findings:
A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated, the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition (the
state of inadequate intake of food [as a source of protein, calories, and other essential nutrients] in the
body), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood
sugar [glucose]), and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has experienced depressive symptoms
for most of the day, for more days than not over two years).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care screening tool)
dated 1/9/2024, indicated Resident 9 had a severely impaired cognition (ability to think and make
decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required moderate assistance on staff for eating.
During a meal observation in Resident 9's room, on 3/25/2024 at 5:46 p.m., Resident 9 was observed being
fed by Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3). CNA 3 was standing over Resident 9 and the resident was
extending his neck to look up at CNA 3.
During an interview with CNA 3 on 3/25/2024 at 6:12 p.m., CNA 3 stated and confirmed CNA 3 was
standing up while feeding Resident 9. CNA 3 stated, CNA 3 should have been sitting down while feeding
Resident 9 because it might seem like CNA 3 was rushing the resident while being fed and, it is more
comfortable for residents if they are sitting down while feeding them.
A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Assistance with Meals, revised on 7/2017,
indicated, residents who cannot feed themselves will be fed with attention to safety, comfort and dignity
such as not standing over residents while assisting them with meals.

b. Failing to ensure Resident 190's bed and mattress was appropriate for Resident 190's height.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively impact the psychosocial well-being of the residents
and may cause physical harm.
Findings:
A. A review of Resident 30's admission Record indicated Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including toxic encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by
some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the blood), fibromyalgia (a condition that causes
pain all over the body, sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress) and generalized
anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety or fear that are strong
enough to interfere with one's daily activities).
A review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and care
screening tool) dated 1/12/2024, indicated Resident 30's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 30
required supervision from staffs for activities of daily living (ADLs - eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene,
shower/bathe, and personal hygiene). The MDS also indicated, Resident 30's preferences on activities such
as listening to music, group activities, keep up with the news while in the facility is very important.
During an interview with Resident 30 on 3/23/2024 at 11:16 a.m., Resident 30 stated, they (residents)

because of the short staffing of the nurses. Resident 30 further stated, Resident 30 loves playing Bingo with
the group and she missed doing it as they haven't been doing it as much.
During an interview with Activity Director (AD) on 3/24/2024 at 6:12 p.m., AD stated, the facility has been
pulling out AD from activities to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) when CNAs call-off. AD stated,
there are few times when they (activities staff) can't follow the Activity Calendar because someone else is
working in the activity department or there were no staffs to do the activities. AD further stated, AD tries to
accommodate the residents but it's hard when she has work as a CNA.
During an interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/25/2024 at 10:47 p.m., DON stated, because of
the staffs calling off, there were days when the facility has to reschedule AD to work as a CNA since AD
has CNA certificate. DON stated, since activities are not being done, residents have not been able to do the
activities as scheduled.
A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Job Description - Activity Director, reviewed on

for the use of the bilateral side rails as the side rails are a form of restrain if there is no consent and
physician's order in placed.
A review of the facility's P & P titled, Side Rails, reviewed on 2/22/2024, the P&P indicated, the side rails
will be used to restrict the resident's movement for safety and a non-restrictive method used on a resident
who uses the rails to assist in their movement (as an enabler). The same P&P also indicated, have
physician get an informed consent from the surrogate decision-maker or resident, and the patient or
responsible party will be explained risks and benefits of using side rails, care plan side rail use.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Bed Safety, reviewed on 2/22/2024, the P&P indicated, if side rails are
used there shall be an interdisciplinary assessment of the resident, consultation with the Attending
Physician, and input from the resident and/or legal representative . the staff shall obtain consent for the use
of side rails from the resident or the resident's legal representative . side rails may be used if assessment
and consultation will the Attending Physician has determined that they are needed to help manage a
medical symptom or condition, or to help the resident reposition or move in bed and transfer, and no other
reasonable alternatives can be identified.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that four of 16 sampled
residents (Residents 9, 21, 25 and 189) were free from physical restraint (any action or procedure that
prevents freedom of a person's body movement) by failing to ensure:
1. Resident 25 was free of unnecessary physical restraint when Resident 25 was found with bilateral full
side rails while in bed.
2. That resident was free from physical restraint by failing to ensure the consent was completed and the
physician's order for bed siderails were in place for Residents 9, 21 and 189.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in entrapment (state of being caught in) and possible
injury to Resident 9, 21, 25 and 189.
Findings:
A review of Resident 25's admission Record, indicated that Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), hemiparesis (weakness on
one side of the body) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic condition that affects the way the body
processes blood sugar [glucose]).
A review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and
care-screening tool), dated 3/8/2024, indicated Resident 25 has severe impairment in cognition (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring
maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer, eating, walk in
room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).
A review of Resident 25's Physician Order dated 3/8/2024, indicated an order for a padded side rails up
times two while in bed to prevent skin bruising when in contact with rails. No other orders indicating a less
restrictive measures.
A review of Resident 25's Side Rails Care Plan dated 3/8/2024, indicated bilateral side rails for

as indicated for safety with interventions to assess need for side rails usage and notify physician for reason
for use of side rails and obtain order.
During an observation on 3/23/2024 at 9:46 a.m., Resident 25 was observed calm and quietly laying in bed
with bilateral full side rails up.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 3/24/2024 at 4:36
p.m., Resident 25's medical chart (progress notes, care plan, side rail assessments and physician orders)
was reviewed. Resident 25's medical chart indicated missing less restrictive measures were provided prior
to ordering bilateral full side rails up. RN 1 stated that before ordering bilateral full side rails up, the facility
should have exhausted all other less restrictive measures and if those things were still not working, then
they can order the full side rails up as the last resort.
A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Side Rails, reviewed on 2/22/2024, P&P indicated,
Side rails will only be used on residents whose movement should be restricted due to safety, but only after
the facility has attempted to use less restrictive alternatives. P&P also indicated that facility will do a
restraint assessment with approval of the interdisciplinary team and document less restrictive measures
attempted.
A review of facility's P&P, titled, Bed Safety, reviewed on 2/22/2024, P&P indicated, if side rails are used,
there shall be an interdisciplinary assessment of the resident, consultation with the attending physician and
input from the resident and/or legal representative.

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policy regarding reporting of an unusual
occurrence and injury of unknown source and to submit a conclusion report of investigation within five days
or in accordance with state or federal law for one of one sampled resident (Resident 26).
This resulted in a delay of an onsite inspection by the Department to ensure the safety of the residents and
had the potential to place residents at further risk for injuries.

A review of Resident 26's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic
condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]), unspecified sequelae cerebral
infarction (lack of blood flow resulting in severe damage to some of the brain tissue), and memory deficit
following cerebral infarction and unspecified dementia (loss of cognitive functioning-thinking, remembering,
and reasoning).
A review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment used as a
care-planning tool), dated 12/27/2023, indicated the resident's cognition (ability to think, understand and
reason) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 26 required maximal assistance from staff
with mobility such as changing position from sit to lying, lying to sitting, sit to stand and toilet transfer.
A review of Resident 26's Order Summary Report dated 3/3/2024, indicated a physician ordered a x-ray (a
form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light) stat (immediately) to the skull and both knees due
to s/p (status post - after) fall.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care
plan that meet the care/services based on the resident's individual assessed needs for six of 16 sampled
residents (Resident 9, 13, 21, 31, 37, and 189) by failing to:
1. Develop a comprehensive care plan when resident had a change of condition for Residents 31 and 13.
2. Develop a comprehensive care plan for the use of bed side rails for Residents 9, 21, and 189.
3. Develop and implement comfort measure (treatments used to ease pain and distress when
life-prolonging options are not available) care plan for Resident 37.
These deficient practices had the potential to result negative impact on the health and safety, and the
quality of care and services provided to Residents 9, 13, 21, 31, 37, and 189.
Cross Reference F604
Findings:
3. A review of Resident 37's admission Record, indicated Resident 37 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation (AF-an irregular rapid
heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow), hyperlipidemia (abnormally high levels of fats in the
blood) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing food or liquid).
A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and
care-screening tool), dated 12/29/2023, indicated Resident 37 had moderate impairment in cognition
(mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and
requiring maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer,
eating, walk in room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).
A review of Resident 37's Order Summary Report, dated 1/17/2024, indicated an order for Comfort
Measure (treatments used to ease pain and distress when life-prolonging options are not available) every
shift.
During a concurrent interview and record review with Registered Nurse 2 (RN2), on 3/25/2024 at 11:42
a.m., Resident 37's care plans were reviewed. Resident 37's comfort measure care plan was missing. RN2
stated that a comfort measure care plan was supposed to be initiated on 1/17/2024 to be able to provide
the proper care for Resident 37.
A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered,
reviewed on 2/22/2024, indicated, that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measure
objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed

facility on 6/23/2023 and was readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including, pneumonia, asthma (chronic
disease in which the bronchial [passages in the lungs] that extend from the trachea [windpipe] and airways
in the lungs that become narrowed and swollen, making it difficult to breathe), and secondary hypertension
(high blood pressure that's caused by another medical condition).
A review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 13 had some moderate cognitive
impairment (fair communication skills but cannot typically communicate on complex levels) and required
substantial to maximum assistance for ADL (bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a
chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating).
A review of Resident 13's history and physical (H&P- physician's examination of a resident, in which the
physician obtains a thorough medical history from the resident or resident representative, performs a
physical examination, and then documents the findings) dated 1/25/2024, indicated the resident had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 13's COC dated 3/20/2024 at 9:22 p.m., indicated Resident 13 was observed with a
nonproductive cough. The COC did not indicate a complete respiratory assessment was performed.
During an observation and interview with Resident 13 on 3/23/2024 at 10:30 am, Resident 13 was
observed sitting in a wheelchair outside Resident 13's room in the hallway, coughing continuously during
the interview. Resident 13 stated Resident 13 felt tired, was unable to sleep because Resident 13 was
constantly coughing during the night. Resident 13 stated Resident 13 felt as if Resident 13 was bothering
the other residents in the facility. Resident 13 stated Resident 13, felt their stares whenever I coughed.
Resident 13's eyes appeared watery, red, sunken in, and the resident constantly was repositioning herself
in bed. Resident 13 stated Resident 13 had been coughing for a couple days and that the cough was
non-productive: no sputum. Resident 13 stated the nurses were aware and were giving Resident 13
something for the cough (Ipratropium-Albuterol inhalation solution via inhaler every 4 hour- a medication
used to help control the symptoms of lung diseases, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema)
but the medication was not working.
During an interview Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) on 3/23/2024 at 4:30 pm, LVN 1 stated Resident
13 developed a cough approximately two days after receiving a COVID vaccination on 3/18/2024. LVN 1
stated the cough was a reaction to the COVID vaccination. LVN 1 confirmed and stated coughing was not
one of the symptoms listed as an adverse (negative) effect according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC- national public health agency whose main goal is the protection of public health and
safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability). LVN 1 stated that when a
resident has a COC, a COC document needs to be completed, a care plan developed, and a physician and
family notified about the COC. LVN 1 admitted that there was no care plan developed for Resident 13's
cough. LVN 1 stated that having a care plan helps all the staff working with the resident know what type of
care to provide the resident.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 13's chart with Director of Nursing (DON) on
3/24/2024 at 10:15 a.m., DON confirmed and stated there was no documented evidence that there was
care plan in place for the cough for Resident 13. DON stated a care plan directs what interventions to
carryout for a resident and helps show if those interventions are working or not.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Side Rails, reviewed on 2/22/2024, indicated,

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide preventive care consistent with
professional standards of practice to two of two sampled residents (Residents 9 and 21), who was at risk
for development of pressure injuries, by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Ensure low air loss mattress (LALM-a mattress designed to prevent and treat pressure wounds) was
functioning and was not turned off when Resident 9 was in bed.
2. Ensure the appropriate setting of the LALM was properly set up according to physician's order (MD
order) for Resident 21.
These deficient practices can place Residents 9 and 21 at risk of poor wound healing of the current
pressure ulcer (injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin) and
possibly development of a new pressure injury.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated Resident 9 was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition, type 2
diabetes mellitus (DM-a ongoing condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]),
and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has experienced depressive symptoms for most of the
day, for more days than not over two years).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
1/9/2024, indicated that Resident 9 had a severely impaired cognition (ability to think and make decisions)
and requiring maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer,
eating, walk in room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).MDS also indicated Resident 9 was
admitted with a stage four (4) pressure ulcer.
A review of Resident 9's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 3/23/2024, OSR indicated an order for a
LALM for treatment and management of pressure ulcer.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) on 3/25/2024 at 8:23 p.m.,
Resident 9 was heard screaming for help. Resident 9 stated, Being uncomfortable. and Resident 9 was
observed sunken from the bed. LALM machine was observed turned off. RN 2 stated that LALM machine
should be turned on at all times since Resident 9 has multiple wounds and high risk for pressure injury.
A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Low Air-Loss Mattress/Bed, P&P indicated that
LALM will be used to maintain skin integrity and to promote healing of existing pressure ulcers.
2. A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including toxic encephalopathy (a disease in which the
functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the blood),

or potential for actual harm
A review of the MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 21's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision-making were moderately impaired and required
moderate to supervision from staff for ADLs. The same MDS also indicated that Resident 21 has a
pressure ulcers/injury and is using a pressure reducing device for bed.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 21's Physician Order, dated 3/23/2023 indicated, as of 12/4/2023, low air loss therapy
bed for treatment and management of pressure ulcer, settings depending on the patient weight every shift
for wound management.
A review of Resident 21's care plan for at risk or potential for skin breakdown, initiated on 11/1/2023,
indicated a goal of resident will minimize skin impairment.
During a concurrent interview and observation of Resident 21 on 3/23/2024 at 9:41 a.m., observed
Resident 21 lying on a low air loss mattress at two (2) setting which indicated 105 pounds (lbs.). Resident
21 stated, his mattress feels rough.
During a concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) and record review of Resident 21's
medical chart on 3/23/2024 at 4:09 p.m., LVN 1 stated, Resident 21 has a physician's order for LAL
mattress depending on the weight. LVN 1 further stated, Resident 21 most current weight (wt.) was 137 lbs.
which was measured on 3/1/2024.
During a follow-up interview with LVN 1 and observation of Resident 21 on 2/23/2024 at 4:21 p.m., LVN 1
observed Resident 21's LAL mattress setting and stated, Resident 21's LAL mattress was not in the correct
setting as Resident 21 weighs 137 lbs. LVN 1 further stated, this puts resident at risk of delay of wound
healing and further pressure ulcer.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Low Air-Loss Mattress/Bed, reviewed on 2/22/2024 indicated, a
specialty bed will be obtained upon provider order.

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** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident receives appropriate
treatment and services to increase, prevent, or maintain the range of motion (ROM- the extent of movement
of a joint) mobility for one of three sampled resident (Resident 190).
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 190 at risk for further ROM decline and
contracture (a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to
deformity and rigidity of joints).
Findings:
A review of Resident 190's admission Record indicated Resident 190 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis (loss of the
ability to move in one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (lack of blood flow resulting in severe
damage to some of the brain tissue) affecting left non-dominant side and muscle wasting and atrophy
(characterized by a significant shortening of the muscle fibers and a loss of overall muscle mass).
A review of Resident 190's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and
care-screening tool), dated 3/14/2024, indicated Resident 190 has an intact cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring moderate
assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-roll left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of
bed). MDS also indicated that Resident 1 was not on a restorative nursing program (a person-centered
nursing care designed to improve or maintain the functional ability of residents).
A review of Resident 190's Care Plan for ADL self-care deficit revised on 1/12/2023 and cerebral infarction,
revised on 2/1/2023, indicated an intervention to turn and reposition every two hours and as needed and
keep body in good alignment.
During an initial tour of the facility on 3/23/2024 at 9:46 a.m., Resident 190 was observed lying laterally

During a concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) and observation of Resident 190
on 3/24/2024 at 5:48 p.m., Resident 190 was observed lying lateral sideways. LVN 3 stated, they reposition
resident every 2 hours and Resident 190 tends to refuse care and repositioning. LVN 3 stated, Resident
190's refusal was not documented when asked for the turning and reposition logbook.
During an observation with Resident 190 on 3/25/2024 at 9:23 a.m., Resident 190 was observed lying
lateral sideways on his bed, both feet were hanging off the bottom of his bed.
During an interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 3/25/2024 at 10:17 a.m., RN 1 stated, residents
who are dependent on mobility and bed bounds are to be repositioned every two hours. RN 1 stated,
Resident 190 tend to refuse to be repositioned. RN 1 stated, they do not document the refusal on the
turning and reposition logbook, but it should have been documented. RN 1 stated, if residents are not
repositioned frequently, it puts them at risk of further pressure ulcer.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Repositioning, reviewed on 2/22/2024 indicated,
repositioning is a common, effective intervention for preventing skin breakdown, promoting circulation, and
providing pressure relief . repositioning is critical for a resident who is immobile or dependent upon staff for
repositioning. The same P&P also indicated, residents who are in bed should be on at least every two hour
repositioning schedule.

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 provide an environment that is free from
accident hazards in preventing avoidable accidents to one of five sampled residents (Resident 3) by failing
to ensure Resident 3's medications were not left unattended at bedside during medication pass.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in an unsafe medication administration to Resident 3.
Findings:
A review of Resident 3's admission Record, indicated that Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic
condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]), atrial fibrillation (AF-an irregular
rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow) and schizophrenia (mental disorder in which people
interpret reality abnormally).
A review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and
care-screening tool), dated 1/30/2024, indicated Resident 3 had moderate impairment in cognition (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring
maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer, eating, walk in
room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).
A review of Resident 3's Order Summary Report (OSR), indicated the following medications were ordered
for Resident 3:
Allopurinol (medication to treat gout [severe pain, swelling and redness in joints]) 300 milligram (mg) one

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled
residents, (Resident 9), who was at risk for dehydration (lack of drinking sufficient fluids to meet the body's
need) and malnutrition (food ingested [eaten]) does not provide enough nutrients or the right balance for
optimal health), was offered sufficient food and did not experience unplanned severe weight (wt) loss (a
body weight loss of greater than five [5] percent [% - unit of measure] in one month). The facility failed to:
1. Identify interventions related to Resident 9's poor food intake since admission to prevent progressive wt
loss.
2. Monitor and document Resident 9's high protein nutrition (HPN - supplement nutritional drink with high
protein) intake to determine Resident 9's intake met his nutritional needs.
3. Develop intervention including frequent foods and snacks when Resident 9 yelled or asked for food.
4. Ensure Registered Dietitian 1 (RD 1) promptly evaluated Resident 9 after the resident was identified with
severe wt loss of 12 pounds (lbs - unit of measurement) on 2/2/2024.
5. Implement facility's policy and procedures (P&P) on Fortified Food (the process of adding nutrients to
foods that are not naturally present or are insufficient in the original food
) Program to provide appropriate and equivalent food substitute for Resident 9 who had intolerance to dairy
products.
6. Implement the facility's P&P on Weight Variance Assessment and Interventions when Resident 9 was
identified with 12 lbs wt loss on 2/2/2024.
7. Implement Resident 9's care plan interventions related to alteration in nutrition, severe protein-calorie
malnutrition, and wt loss.
These deficient practices resulted in:
1. Resident 9 experienced 12 lbs severe wt loss in one month from 1/5/2024 to 2/2/2024 (equivalent to
7.8% of Resident 9's body weight).
2. Resident 9 was agitated, complained of being hungry, and kept requesting for more food on multiple
occasions.
3. Resident 9 not been assessed and re-evaluated by a Registered Dietician (RD for 20 days after Resident
9 experience 12 lbs wt loss in one month.
These deficient practices had the potential for further decline and complications related to Resident 9's:

1. Severe protein-calorie malnutrition (the state of inadequate intake of food [as a source of protein,
calories, and other essential nutrients] in the body).
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
2. Stage four (4) pressure ulcer (severe tissue damage caused by injury to skin and underlying tissue
resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin; a stage four is the largest and deepest of all pressure ulcer
stages).
Findings:
A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 9 on
12/18/2020 with a readmission dated 1/4/2024. Resident 9's diagnoses included unspecified severe
protein-calorie malnutrition, type 2 diabetes mellitus (long-term condition in which the body has trouble
controlling blood sugar and using it for energy), and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has
experienced depressive symptoms [feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once
enjoyed] for most of the day, for more days than not over two years).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care-screening tool),
dated 1/9/2024, indicated Resident 9 had a severely impaired cognition (ability to comprehend, think, solve
problem, process information, and make decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required moderate staff
assistance with eating and weighed 154 pounds (lbs). The MDS indicated Resident 9 was on a
mechanically altered diet (foods are mechanically altered by whipping, blending, grinding, chopping, or
mashing so that they are easy to chew and swallow) and therapeutic diet (meal plan that control and
promote the intake of certain foods or nutrients). The MDS also indicated Resident 9 was admitted with a
Stage4 pressure ulcer.
A review of Resident 9's Physician Order, dated 1/12/2024, indicated:
- Puree (foods that have a soft, pudding like consistency), controlled carbohydrate diet (CCHO - same
number of carbohydrates every day to help people manage blood sugar levels), fortified (food with extra
nutrients added to increase the calories and protein) diet with thin liquids (watery liquids)
- Four ounces (oz.) HPN three times daily for poor oral intake (low food /liquids ingestion).
A review of Resident 9's Care Plan, revised on 1/6/2024 for Resident 9's risk for dehydration and weight
loss fluctuation, had a goal for Resident 9 not having significant weight changes of 5 lbs or more monthly.
The interventions included monitoring Resident 9's skin turgor for tenting (very slow to return to normal, or
the skin tents up during a check; this can indicate severe dehydration that needs quick treatment),
monitoring for dry mouth, muscle cramps, and changes in mental status.
A review of Resident 9's Care Plan revised on 1/7/2024 for Resident 9's severe protein-calorie malnutrition,
had a goal for Resident 9 to gain one to two lbs per month in the next three months. The care plan
interventions included monitoring Resident 9's weight loss and report to the physician and the RD promptly
(if any wt loss).
A review of Resident 9's Nutritional Care Assessment (NCA) form, documented by RD 1 on 1/12/2024,
indicated Resident 9 weighed 154 lbs and was 66 inches tall. Resident 9's usual weight range was 186-193
lbs, the ideal body weight (IBW) range was128-156 lbs, with a desirable BW range of 149-159 lbs. RD 1
assessed Resident 9's daily caloric needs range 25-30 calorie per kilogram of weight cal/kg) equivalent to
1750-2100 calories per day. Resident 9's daily protein needs range from 1.4-1.5 grams

A review of Resident 9's Care Plan revised on 1/7/2024 for Resident 9's severe protein-calorie malnutrition
indicated it was revised on 2/7/2024 to include in the interventions to report Resident 9's wt loss to the
physician and the RD.
A review of Resident 9's Dietary Progress Notes, dated 2/22/2024, indicated Resident 9's wt of 142 lbs was
down to 12 lbs in one month (a 7.8% wt loss), the current diet of pureed fortified CCHO, 4 oz HPN three
times a day provided 600 calories and 8 gm of protein). RD 1's recommendations included to:
- Discontinue (DC-stop) four oz HPN (no dairy)
- Give Boost glucose control (a nutritional drink, no dairy, specially formulated for people with diabetes) one
can twice daily - 474 millimeter (ml)/380 calories/32 gm protein (supplement)
- Change diet to puree CCHO (discontinue the fortified diet due to no dairy for beverage).
On 3/23/2024 at 5:20 p.m., during an interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) stated Resident 9 had
12 lbs wt loss and that LVN 2 had initiated the SBAR dated 2/7/2024. LVN 2 stated not remembering if RD 1
was notified of Resident 9's severe wt loss.
On 3/23/2024 at 5:58 p.m., during an interview with RD 1 and concurrent review of Resident 9's Dietary
Progress Notes dated 2/22/2024 were reviewed. RD 1 stated Resident 9 had a severe wt loss in a month
after admission. RD 1 stated she recommended to discontinue the fortified diet due to Resident 9's
digestive (the process of breaking down food into substances the body can use for energy, tissue growth,
and repair) issues with dairy products. RD 1 stated, with fortified diet, [Resident 9] is receiving additional
600 calories per day. RD 1 further stated Resident 9 was given Boost Glucose Control twice daily as a
substitute which had/contained 380 Cal per day. RD 1 stated the facility did not notify RD of Resident 9's wt
loss on 2/2/2024. RD 1 did not provide documented evidence the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - a group from
different healthcare who work together to help residents to receive the care they need) met to address
Resident 9's wt loss of more than 5% in one month.
A review of Resident 9's Physician Orders, dated 2/22/2024, indicated to give Resident 9 CCHO diet
pureed texture, thin liquid consistency, which was changed from Puree CCHO fortified diet, thin liquid, and
Boost Glucose twice a day.
During a concurrent observation and interview with LVN 3 on 3/24/2024 at 8:45 p.m., Resident 9 was
observed yelling from Resident 9's room. LVN 3 stated Resident 9, yells at night because he is hungry and
would always ask for more food on a daily basis. LVN 3 walked into the kitchen after Resident 9 asked for
more food, but LVN 3 did not provide food to Resident 9.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 9's room and interview with Resident 9 on 3/25/2024 at 9:27
a.m., Resident 9 stated, I have not been eating good. I want water, Resident 9 was observed with loose and

Resident 9's fortified diet and HPN on 2/22/2024. RD 1 stated Resident 9 was receiving 600 Cal per day
while on fortified diet and was now receiving 380 Cal per day while on CCHO puree diet and Boost Glucose
Control twice a day. When asked the reasons the calories were decreased from 600 Cal to 380 Cal on
2/22/2024 after Resident 9 had a wt loss of 7.8% in one month, RD 1 stated, because [Resident 9] had
digestive issues with milk. When asked if milk could be substituted with other non-dairy products when
residents were on fortified diet, RD 1 stated, Yes, milk can be substituted with butter or mayonnaise. RD 1
further stated not been aware Resident 9 yelled for more food because Resident 9 was hungry. RD stated,
when a resident receives less calories, it can cause them to be hungry and agitated.
On 3/25/2024 at 1:07 p.m., Resident 9 was observed in bed assisted by CNA 2 and ate 80 % of his lunch
tray.
During an interview on 3/25/2024 at 1:11 p.m., the Dietary Supervisor (DS) stated the kitchen provided
Resident 9 with mocha mix (non-dairy drink) as a substitute of milk because Resident 9 could not have

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide respiratory treatment and
care for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 13), who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD, group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems) and history of
pneumonia (a serious infection of one or both lungs in which the air sacs fill with pus and other liquid). The
facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Closely monitor Resident 13's respiratory condition, including response to treatment after being identified
to have a change of condition (COC, a sudden clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline) when
Resident 13 develop a cough on 3/20/2024.
2. Perform a complete respiratory assessment (breathing rate, pattern and effort, skin color, chest
configuration, and symmetry of expansion of the chest with each breath) as per policies and procedures
(P&P) on Residents COC, Pneumonia, Bronchitis [inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry
air to and from the lungs], and Lower Respiratory Infections -Clinical Protocol, and Resident Examination
and Assessment.
3. Monitor and notify the attending physician (Physician 1) about Resident 13's worsening cough.
4. Notify Physician 1, on 3/21/2024, of Resident 13's chest X-ray results and recommendation to repeat
X-rays if symptoms persisted or worsened.
These deficient practices resulted in:
1. A four-day delay for Resident 13 to receive respiratory care consistent with Resident 13's respiratory
symptoms.
2. Resident 13 having inability to sleep, fatigue (extreme sense of tiredness and lack of energy that can
interfere with a person's usual daily activities), poor appetite, and loss of ability to taste food/fluids.
3. Transferring Resident 13 to General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) on 3/24/2024, because of fever,
coughing, and difficulty breathing. At GACH 1, Resident 13 was diagnosed with pneumonia and required
intravenous (IV- delivered into a vein) antibiotics (medications used to treat infection).
These deficient practices had the potential for further decline and complications related to increased risk for
sepsis (a life-threatening infection in the blood that travels throughout the entire body), respiratory failure,
organ failure, and death.
Findings:
A review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 13 on
6/23/2023, and the most recent readmission was dated on 1/6/2024. Resident 13's diagnoses included
pneumonia, asthma (chronic [ongoing] disease in which the bronchial [passages in the lungs] that extend
from the trachea [windpipe] and airways in the lungs that become narrowed and swollen, making it difficult
to breathe), and hypertension (high blood pressure).

that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff had the appropriate competencies to provide
nursing and related services to assure safety of the residents by failing to:
1. Maintain and update basic life support/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (BLS/CPR) certification for two of
seven sampled facility staff (Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 [LVN 2] and Certified Nursing Assistant 5 [CNA
5]).
2. Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) had the specific competencies and skills sets necessary to
perform safe medication administration for Resident 15.
This deficient practice had the potential to place resident at risk of not getting proper immediate care in a
life-threatening situation.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent record review and interview with the Infection Preventionist Nurse/Director of Staff
Development (IPN/DSD), on [DATE] at 12:53 p.m., LVN 2 and CNA 5 staff files were reviewed. Staff files
indicated not up to date BLS/CPR for LVN 2 and CNA 5. IPN/DSD stated IPN/DSD was supposed to make
sure that BLS/CPR are up to date for all the staff.
A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled, Emergency Procedure-CPR, reviewed on [DATE],
indicated, Facility personnel have completed training on the initiation of CPR and BLS for victims of sudden
cardiac arrest. Staff will obtain and/or maintain American Red Cross or American Heart Association
certification in BLS/CPR including non-licensed personnel.
A review of facility's job description (JD), titled, DSD, reviewed on [DATE], indicated under responsibilities,
that, DSD will:
Maintain an acceptable standard of nursing practice and professional decorum.
Plan and conduct meaningful in-service education programs according to regulatory requirements for
nursing personnel.
Maintain department records in a complete and orderly manner.
2. A review of Resident 15's admission record indicated Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]

During a concurrent medication administration observation by Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) and
interview with LVN 4 on [DATE], at 9:28 a.m., LVN 4 was observed crushing the following medications
together:
1. Apixaban 2.5mg (anticoagulant used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots)
2. Proscar (medication to treat enlarged prostate gland) 5mg daily
3. Metoprolol (used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure) 25mg.
4. Aspirin (used to treat mild to moderate pain, inflammation, or arthritis. It also lowers your risk of heart
attack) 81 mg.
5. Loratadine (used to temporarily relieve the symptoms of hay fever (allergy to pollen, dust, or other
substances in the air) and other allergies) 10 mg.
LVN 4 placed all five medications in a clear plastic pouch and crushed the medications using a pill crusher
(a metal tool used to crush pills at the same time). LVN 4 stated that medications must be crushed
separately and one at a time because one may be unaware which medications a resident has taken or not
taken. LVN 4 stated Proscar should not have been crushed per manufacture's guidelines because it was
teratogenic (relating to or causing developmental malformations). LVN 4 confirmed that it would be
impossible to explain which medications were being administered after being crushed together.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE], at 9:30 a.m.,
DON confirmed that LVN 4 crushed the above five medications together. The DON stated crushing together
is considered compounding (the process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a new
medication). The DON confirmed that the medication Proscar must not be crushed. The DON admitted that
each medication cart should have had a list of Do not crush medication list, which would work as a point of

Post nurse staffing information every day.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to post in a visible and prominent
place daily the actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed nursing staffing directly responsible for
resident care per shift for three of three sampled days (3/23/2024, 3/24/2024, and 3/25/2024).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice resulted in the actual staffing information not being readily accessible and available
to residents and visitors and had the potential to cause inadequate staffing.
Findings:
On 3/23/2024 at 8:50 a.m., a projected, not an actual DHPPD (Direct Care Services Hours Per Patient Day)
was observed at Nursing Station 1.
On 3/24/2024 at 9:32 a.m., a projected, not the actual hours was observed at Nursing Station 1.
On 3/24/2024 at 9:29 a.m., a projected, not the actual hours was observed at Nursing Station 1.
During an interview with Director of Infection Preventionist Nurse/Director of Staff and Development
(IPN/DSD) on 3/24/2024 at 4:28 p.m., IPN/DSD stated, the facility posts and include only projection hours
in the DHPPD daily and not the actual hours. DSD stated, I is unsure if the actual hours should also be
posted.
During a follow-up interview with DSD on 3/25/2024 at 7:06 p.m., DSD stated, DSD checked facilty's policy
and procedures and that the actual hours should also be posted on the NHPPD.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Posting Direct Care Daily Staffing Numbers
reviewed on 2/22/2024, indicated, our facility will post on a daily basis for each shift nurse staffing daily,
including the number of nursing personnel responsible for providing direct care to residents . the information

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 ensure:
Residents Affected - Few
1.Pharmaceutical services included procedures to ensure the medications used from the emergency kit
(e-kit - secured container or secured electronic system containing drugs which are used for either
immediate administration to residents or in an emergency or as a starter dose) located in Medication room
[ROOM NUMBER] were ordered and replaced as soon as possible per facility's policy.
2.Ensure professional standards of practice for medication administration were used when administering
medications to 1 out of 16 sampled residents (Resident 15). On 3/24/2024 at 9:28 a.m., LVN4 was
observed crushing Apixaban 2.5mg (anticoagulant used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots),
Proscar 5mg daily, metoprolol (used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood
pressure) 25mg, aspirin (used to treat mild to moderate pain, inflammation, or arthritis. It also lowers your
risk of heart attack) 81 mg, and Loratadine (used to temporarily relieve the symptoms of hay fever (allergy
to pollen, dust, or other substances in the air) and other allergies) 10 mg together.
3.Ensure Resident 15's the medication Proscar was not crushed per manufacturer's guidelines.
This deficient practice had the potential for harm to residents due to:
1. Lack of availability of medications leading to delays in the timely administration of medications in the
event of an emergency.
2. Physical and chemical incompatibilities between medications, loss of effectiveness, and worsening of
medical conditions.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and observation of Medication room [ROOM NUMBER] with Registered
Nurse 2 (RN 2) on 3/24/2024 at 9:36 a.m., the Refrigerated e-kit, intramuscular injectables (IM) e-kit and
IM-oral (PO) e-kit medications were observed opened and unsealed. RN 2 stated medications from the
e-kit were used for residents during an emergency but was unable to determined which medications were
used. RN 2 was unable to stated when the E-kit was opened and what medications were use because the
E-kit pharmacy log was not properly completed.
During a follow-up interview with RN 2 on 3/24/2024 at 10:02 a.m., RN 2 stated licensed nurses had to
request a replacement of the E-kit from the pharmacy. RN 2 stated if medications and e-kit were not reorder
and replaced on time, facility staff would not have medications that residents could need during an
emergency.
A review of a facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Medication Ordering and Receiving from
Pharmacy reviewed on 2/22/2024, indicated as soon as possible, the nurse was to record the medication
used from the E-kit on the medication order form and the nurse was to call the pharmacy for replacement of
the kit/dose and flag the kit with a color-coded lock to indicate the need for replacement.

2. A review of Resident 15's admission record indicated Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH- a condition in men in which the prostate
gland is enlarged and not cancerous), secondary hypertension (when the pressure in your blood vessels is
too high [140/90 mmHg or higher] and is caused by another medical condition), and hyperlipidemia (also
known as dyslipidemia or high cholesterol, means you have too many lipids (fats) in your blood).
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 2/9/2024, indicated Resident 15 was mildly impaired (people have more memory or thinking
problems than other people their age) and was depended for most of his (Resident 15's) activities of daily
living.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 3/24/2024, at
9:28 a.m., LVN 4 was observed crushing the following 5 medications:
Apixaban 2.5mg (anticoagulant used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots)
Proscar 5mg daily
metoprolol (used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure) 25mg.
aspirin (used to treat mild to moderate pain, inflammation, or arthritis. It also lowers your risk of heart
attack) 81 mg.
Loratadine (used to temporarily relieve the symptoms of hay fever (allergy to pollen, dust, or other
substances in the air) and other allergies) 10 mg.
LVN 4 placed the 5 pills in a plastic pouch used for medications which was then placed in a pill crusher (a
metal tool used to crush pills at the same time). LVN 4 stated that medications had to be crushed one at a
time to be sure which medications a resident may or may not have taken. LVN 4 stated that the medication
Proscar should not have been crushed per manufacture's guidelines because it was teratogenic (relating to
or causing developmental malformations). LVN 4 confirmed that it would be impossible to explain which
medications were being administered after being crushed together.
During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/24/24, at 9:30 a.m.,
the DON confirmed that LVN 4 crushed the 5 medications together. The DON stated that crushing
medications together was considered compounding (the process of combining, mixing, or altering
ingredients to create a new medication). The DON confirmed that the medication Proscar should not be
crushed. The DON stated each medication cart should have had a list of Do not crush medication list,
which would work as a point of reference for the nurses' administering medications.
A review of a facility's P&P titled Administering Medications, indicated Medications shall be administered in
a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The P&P indicated, the individual administering the
medication had to check the label THREE (3) times to verify the right resident, right medication, right
dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to do a Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR, an attempt to
decrease or discontinue psychotropic [acting on the mind] medication after no more than three months from
the start date of the psychotropic medication, unless clinically contraindicated) for 2 of 16 sampled
residents (Residents 10 and 21).
These deficient practices had the potential to result in overuse of an antipsychotic medication, without
monitoring for the effectiveness and/or ineffective of the medication and can lead to adverse (negative) drug
reactions.
Findings:
A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability
to think, feel, and behave clearly), anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of
worry, anxiety or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), and major depressive
disorder (a mental health condition that causes a persistently low or depressed mood and a loss of interest
in activities that once brought joy).
A review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
2/10/2024, indicated that Resident 21 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think and make
decisions) and required moderate assistance from facility staff for mobility such as sit to stand, toilet
transfer and tub/shower transfer.
A review of Resident 21's Order Summary Report dated 12/4/2024, indicated the physician ordered the
following:
i. Haloperidol (medication used to treat nervous, emotional, and mental conditions) oral tablet 10 milligram
(mg - unit of measurement) - give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day (BID) for schizophrenia.
ii. Mirtazapine (medication used to treat depression) oral tablet 15 mg - give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime
(HS) for depression.
iii. Haloperidol - monitor with hashmark every shift for episodes of schizophrenia manifested by angry
outbursts.
A review of the facility's Pharmacist Consultant Monthly Regimen Review (MRR) for Resident 21, dated
2/21/2024, indicated the Pharmacist Consultant recommended; Resident (190) has been on Haloperidol
10mg BID and Mirtazapine 15mg QHS and GDR is due if medically warranted. Please evaluate if a dose
reduction is warranted at this time. Under Physician/Prescriber Response box option if Physician Agree,
Disagree, or Other, (section required to be completed by the physician) there was no check mark if the
physician agree or disagree with the Pharmacist recommendation.

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 ensure one of two sampled residents
(Resident 34's) Levalbuterol hydrochloride (HCL) (Xopenex-medication being given via inhalation [inhaling
medication in the form of gas or vapor] used to treat or prevent bronchospasm [when muscles that line the
airways in the lungs becomes tighten) Nebulizer was disposed of within two weeks after opening per
manufacturer's policy.
This deficient practice had the potential to compromise the safety and effectiveness of medication, resulting
in medication errors when administered to Resident 34, and placed the resident at risk for respiratory
difficulty.
Findings:
A review of Resident 34's admission Record, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses including encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by
some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the blood), urinary tract infection (UTI-infection in
the urinary system [kidneys, bladder, or urethra]) and congestive heart failure (CHF-a chronic condition in
which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should).
A review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and
care-screening tool) dated 3/5/2024, indicated Resident 34 had severe impairment in cognition (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring
moderate assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer, eating, walk
in room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).
A review of Resident 34's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 3/1/2024, indicated an order for levalbuterol
hcl inhalation nebulization (drug delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled
into the lungs) solution 1.25 milligram (mg) per 0.5 milliliter (ml), inhale orally via nebulizer every four hours
as needed for CHF, shortness of breath and wheezing (whistling sound when airway is partially blocked
during inhalation).
During a concurrent observation and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) on 3/24/2024 at
7:53 p.m., observed Resident 34's opened foil pouch of levalbuterol hcl, dated 3/8/2024. LVN 3 stated that
per manufacturer's policy of levalbuterol hcl vials had to be discarded within two weeks from the time the
foil pouch was opened.
A review of levalbuterol hcl's package inserts, undated, indicated that per manufacturer's policy, when
levalbuterol hcl solution foil pouch was opened, vials had to be used within two weeks.
A review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Storage of Medications, reviewed on 2/22/2024,
P&P indicated that the facility shall not use discontinued, outdated, or deteriorated drugs or biologicals.
P&P also indicated that the facility shall store all drugs and biologicals in a safe, secure, and orderly
manner.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the standardized recipes for
lunch menu were followed on 3/23/24 when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. [NAME] used small scoop size to serve Baked Ziti (pasta with tomato and cheese sauce baked and
topped with breadcrumbs) for five residents on mechanical soft finely chopped (Ground) diet (consists of
foods that are moist, ground, chopped or easily mashed required little chewing) while five residents were
mechanical soft finely chopped diet received ½ cup of Baked Ziti instead of 1 cup.
2. 17 Residents on mechanical soft diet (ground and chopped) did not receive garlic toast bread texture in
form that met their needs when they received garlic toast without additional 1-2 tsp (teaspoons) of
margarine to adequately moisten the bread.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in meal dissatisfaction, decreased nutritional intake and
choking in 17 of 38 residents on mechanical soft diet who received food from the kitchen.
Findings:
According to the facility lunch menu on 3/23/24, the following items would be served on mechanical soft
and finely chopped diet: Baked Ziti (chopped and finely chopped/ground) (pasta with tomato and cheese
sauce baked and topped with breadcrumbs) (1 cup); Garden Zucchini (½ cup); garlic toast with
margarine (1 slice); cut melon; milk, coffee, and beverages of choice.
During an observation of the tray line service for lunch on 3/23/24, at 11:40 a.m., for residents who were on
mechanical soft finely chopped diet, the cooks served baked ziti using the #8 scoop yielding 4 ounces (oz)
or ½ cup instead of 1 cup per menu.
During an interview with cook (cook 1) and (cook 2) on 3/23/2024, at 1:00 p.m. cook1 stated he served one
scoop of #8 yielding ½ cup instead of double scoop. Cook1 stated he made a mistake. [NAME] 2
stated the residents on finely chopped diet received less food for lunch when they received ½ cup of
baked ziti instead of 1 cup.
During a concurrent interview and review of the facility menu, cook 2 stated the mechanical soft diet finely
chopped is titled as Ground on the daily menu. [NAME] 2 stated we should serve 1 cup of baked ziti.
During an interview with Dietary Supervisor (DS) on 3/23/2024 at 1:15 p.m. DS stated the residents on
mechanical soft finely chopped diet (ground) received less food. DS stated less intake could cause weight
loss in residents. DS stated cooks should always follow the menu and the portion guide when serving food.
A review of the recipe for Baked Ziti indicated combine all the cooked pasta, ricotta and mozzarella
cheeses with the tomato sauce, transfer into a pan, top with parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted
margarine, bake at 350 [degree] and then serve 1 cup (2x #8 scoops).

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain accurate medical record in accordance with
accepted professional standards and practices for eight of 16 sampled residents (Resident 1, 9, 21, 23, 24,
25, 189, and 190) by failing to ensure advance directive acknowledgment forms were easily accessible via
residents' medical charts.
These deficient practices had the potential to negatively impact the delivery of service given to Resident 1,
9, 21, 23, 24, 25, 189, and 190.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 1's admission Record, indicated that Resident 1 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE], and was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus (DM-a chronic
condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]), urinary tract infection
(UTI-infection in the urinary system [kidneys, bladder, or urethra]) and epilepsy (a disorder in which a nerve
cell activity in the brain is disturbed causing seizure [a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the
brain]).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive standardized assessment and
care-screening tool), dated 3/15/2024, indicated Resident 1 has moderate impairment in cognition (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making and requiring
maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL-bed mobility, surface transfer, eating, walk in
room, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene).
2. A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition, DM,
and recurrent depressive disorder (when a person has experienced depressive symptoms for most of the
day, for more days than not over two years).
A review of Resident 9's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 9 has severely impaired cognition for daily
decision-making and requiring maximal assistance from staff for ADLs.
3. A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of
the brain is affected by some agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the blood), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to
breathe) and difficulty in walking.
A review of Resident 21's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 21 has moderately impaired cognition for
daily decision-making and requiring supervision from staff for ADLs.
4. A review of Resident 23's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses including encephalopathy, DM and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing food or liquid).
A review of Resident 23's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 23 has moderately impaired cognition for
daily decision-making and requiring maximal assistance from staff for ADLs.

F 0881
Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview, and record review, for two of 16 sampled residents (Residents 34 and 139), the facility
failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Implement its protocol for antibiotic (a substance used to kill bacteria and to treat infections) use.
2. Monitor actual antibiotic use by failing to initiate a surveillance log
These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 34 and 139 to develop resistance (not effective to
treat infection) to antibiotics from unnecessary and inappropriate antibiotic use.
Findings:
During a concurrent interview and record review of the antibiotic stewardship binder with the Infection
Preventionist Nurse (IPN) on 3/24/24 4:10 a.m., the IPN confirmed and stated that the antibiotic
surveillance log was not initiated to outline the antibiotics Residents 34 and 139 were receiving, including
the dose, the frequency and how may times the residents had completed. The IPN stated that having a
complete log in place was important because the log shows the trend and will also determine if the
antibiotic order is not appropriate. The IPN stated staff may not know if the medication was necessary. The
IPN stated the risk of not knowing the appropriateness of the ordered antibiotic had the potential for the
resident to develop resistance to the antibiotic(s).
During a concurrent interview and record review of the antibiotic stewardship binder with the Director of
Nursing (DON) on 3/24/24 8:10 p.m., the DON confirmed and stated that there was no tracking log on file
for ordered antibiotics. The DON stated not having antibiotic tracking log could result in administering
unnecessary antibiotics to residents.
A review of facility's policy and procedures titled Antibiotic Stewardship, revised 2/22/2024, indicated,
Antibiotics will be prescribed and administered to residents under the guidance of the facility's Antibiotic
Stewardship Program. The same P&P Indicated under Policy Interpretation and Implementation, indicated,
if an antibiotic is indicated, prescribers will provide complete antibiotic orders including the following
elements:
a. Drug name
b. Dose
c. Frequency of administration
d. Duration of treatment
(1) Start and stop date, or
(2) Number of days of therapy
e. Route of administration; and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 10 out of 20 resident rooms
met the square footage requirement of 80 square feet (sq. ft.) per resident.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in inadequate useable and safe living space for the
residents to move freely and for nursing staff to provide care to the residents.
Findings:
The facility submitted a written request for a continued room waiver on 3/24/2024.
On 3/24/2024, the facility administrator (ADM) provided a copy of the Client Accommodation Analysis. A
review of the Client Accommodation Analysis indicated 10 out of 20 rooms do not have at least 80 square
feet per resident.
The room waiver request and Client Accommodation Analysis indicated the following:
