Respond appropriately to all alleged violations.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent further potential neglect
and have evidence that all alleged violations were thoroughly investigated as indicated in the facility's
Abuse Investigation policy for three of three sampled residents (Resident 1, 2 and 3) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Licensed vocational nurse (LVN - an entry-level health care provider who is responsible for rendering
basic nursing care) 1 tied a sheet to the Resident 1 ' s bed frame and broken bedrail. This deficient practice
resulted in Resident 1 falling out of bed and had the potential to result in unidentified neglect, mistreatment,
and failure to protect Resident 1 from further neglect.
2. LVN 1 refused to assess Resident 2's wound vac (vacuum-assisted closure of a wound is a type of
therapy to help wounds heal) and shut the door and turned off the light, leaving Resident 2 in the dark
without assistance. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 2's wound not being assessed when an
alarm indicating a potential issue that required immediate attention was ignored by LNV 1, which also
resulted in Resident 2's mistrust of the facility care and stating, I do not feel safe around LVN 1.
3. LVN 1 failed to report Resident 3's KUB (diagnostic imaging for the kidney, ureter and bladder) used to
assess the test result to the provider. This deficient practice resulted in the physician being unaware that
Resident 3 ' s KUB results indicated a possible ileus (a condition where the intestine cannot push food and
waste out of the body) or obstruction (a partial or complete blockage of the small intestine or large
intestine) thus placing Resident 3 ' s well-being and safety at risk by delaying diagnosis and subsequent
treatment.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P, the most formal and complete assessment
of the patient and the problem), dated 4/14/24, the H&P indicated that Resident 1's medical history
included chronic respiratory failure (a condition that occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into
the blood) with recent tracheostomy (a surgical hole created in the windpipe that provides an alternative
airway for breathing), cardiac arrest (cessation of function of the heart), and anoxic encephalopathy (a
cessation of blood flow to the brain).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 6/6/18, it indicated Resident 1 was nonverbal, quadriplegia (paralysis below the neck that
affects all of a person's limbs), and cognitive (process of thinking) skills for daily decision-making were
severely impaired. The MDS also indicated Resident 1 required assistance with all activities of daily living
such as eating, toileting, oral hygiene, showering, and dressing.

(respiratory therapist) called me to the room to assess Resident 1, who slid from the mattress on the floor .
The patient is closely monitored for any change of condition s/p (status post) or unwitnessed fall or sliding
off the mattress on the floor.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Assessment and Care, report dated from 8/1/24 through 8/23/24, the
report indicated that LVN 1 continues to be assigned to the care for Resident 1. The report indicated LVN 1

tied to the bedframe and to the bed rail. MS 1 stated the day shift nurse came in and saw the broken bedrail
with the bedsheet tied and requested for a new bed. While the nurse took the report from the outgoing
nurse, Resident 1 fell. The respiratory therapist (RT) found Resident 1 on the floor by the bed. MS 1 stated,
The patient (Resident 1) had an unwitnessed fall. MS 1 further stated she asked LVN 1 why she did not
report the broken bedrail to the house supervisor, and LVN 1 responded, It ' s up to the day shift to do that.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's policies and
procedures were followed for of one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), when Resident 1's bedrail
was tied with a sheet after it was found to be broken and the facility staff failed to monitor Resident 1 while
the bedrail remained broken.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 falling out of bed and had the potential for risk of entrapment or
strangulation due to the sheet tied from the bed rail to the lower bed frame.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1' s History and Physical (H&P, the most formal and complete assessment of
the patient and the problem), dated 4/14/24, the H&P indicated that Resident 1's medical history included
chronic respiratory failure (a condition that occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood)
with recent tracheostomy (a surgically whole created in the windpipe that provides an alternative airway for
breathing), cardiac arrest (cessation of function of the heart), and anoxic encephalopathy (a cessation of
blood flow to the brain).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated June 6, 2018, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was nonverbal. Resident 1 is quadriplegia
(paralysis below the neck that affects all of a person's limbs). Resident 1 cognitive skills for daily
decision-making are severely impaired. Resident 1 required assistance with all activities of daily living such
as eating, toileting, oral hygiene, showering, and dressing.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Nursing Narrative Note, dated 8/6/24, the note indicated, Patient received
at 7:07 am sleeping in bed; the report was received at bed site; per the assigned nurse (name of LVN 1),
the patient's bed is broken; the sheet was placed on the rails by the night shift nurse to tighten up to work it
out as a side rail; per the night shift nurse, the replacement bed was not ordered yet . By 7:50, the RT
(respiratory therapist) called me to the room to assess the patient (name of Resident 1) who slid from the
mattress on the floor . The patient is closely monitored for any change of condition s/p (status post) or
unwitnessed fall or sliding off the mattress on the floor.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/12/24 at 10:58 a.m. with the administrator (ADM) in
Resident 1 ' s room, Resident 1 was lying in bed with both right and left bed rails raised up. Resident 1 eyes
were opened; however, when Resident 1 name was called, Resident 1 was unable to respond. The ADM

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 one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was
cared for by a health care clinician that has a current Basic Life Support (BLS, care that first-responders,
healthcare providers and public safety professionals provide to anyone who is experiencing cardiac arrest
[the heart stop functioning], respiratory distress or an obstructed airway) in accordance with the facility job
description for Licensed Vocational Nurses. (LVN). LVN 1 who was assigned to work on the facility subacute
unit (a unit that provide intensive care, but to a lesser degree than acute care), did not have a up to date
BLS certification.
This deficient practice had the potential of delayed provisions of emergency care for Resident 1 and the 39
residents in the subacute unit who wishes to have full treatment in a life-threatening situation.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P, the most formal and complete assessment of
the resident and the problem), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated, Resident 1 medical history included
chronic respiratory failure (a condition that occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood)
with recent tracheostomy (a surgically whole created in the windpipe that provides an alternative airway for
breathing), cardiac arrest (cessation of function of the heart) , anoxic encephalopathy (a cessation of blood
flow to the brain).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 POLST (Practitioner Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment form
enables patients to indicate their preferences regarding life-sustaining treatment) specified Resident 1 or
responsible party wishes to have resuscitation/ CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, It can help save a life
during cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating) for Resident 1.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Assessment and Care, report dated from [DATE] through [DATE], the
report indicated, LVN 1 documented care for Resident 1 on [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE],
[DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE].
During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 3:00 p.m. with the Operational Manager of
Humane Resource (OMHR), LVN 1 ' s BLS certification, was reviewed. LVN 1 ' s BLS indicated, the
certification was expired on [DATE], nine months and 26 days expired. The OMHR stated a report was sent
out to the unit manager regarding LVN 1 ' s BLS expiration. The OMHR stated LVN 1 was hired in 2022 and
has been an active employee and was currently working in the Subacute unit full time.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:05 a.m. with the Manager of the Subacute (care in a unit that is
intensive, but to a lesser degree than acute care) unit (MS) 1, MS 1 stated LVN 1 ' s BLS expiration was
missed because the report provided by human resources (HR) is not always up to date because the
employee upload the certificate into the system, but HR does not see it. MS 1 stated, This process will be
change, we will have the employee copied (sending a copy of the email to) the manager in the emailed from
here forward. MS 1 further stated it is important for employee to have current BLS as required because they
do not have a code blue (response to a patient have a cardiac or respiratory arrest or medical emergency)
