F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nursing professional standards were provided for two of three sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 3), when: Residents Affected - Few 1. No documentation of an assessment (to evaluate a resident ' s health) was found in Resident 1 ' s electronic health record (EHR – a digital version of a resident ' s medical history) when Resident 1 had heart rate of 106 beats per minute (bpm – the normal range is between 60 to 100 bpm, an elevated heart rate is greater than 100 bpm and may indicate many problems such as pain, infection, or anxiety). This failure resulted in Resident 1 ' s elevated heart rate not being addressed for more than three hours from 8:19 p.m. to 11:38 p.m. 2. Resident 3 ' s range of motion services (ROM – activity aimed to improving movement of a specific joint) on 9/29/24 and 10/1/24 were not indicated as given in Resident 3 ' s EHR. This failure had the potential for Resident 3 to develop contractures (permanent tightening of muscles, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement of a body part). Findings: 1. During an observation on 10/02/24 at 12:10 p.m., in Resident 1 ' s room, Resident 1 was lying in bed, eyes closed, enteral feeding (the delivery of nutrients through a feeding tube directly into the stomach) being provided through a gastronomy tube (G-tube – a tube that is placed directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall incision for administration of food, fluids, and medications), and had a tracheostomy stoma (a surgically created opening in the neck that allows the person to breathe). During a review of Resident 1 ' s undated face sheet (a document that summarizes a resident ' s personal and medical information), the face sheet indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE] with an admitting diagnosis of respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into or remove enough carbon dioxide from the blood). During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/4/24, the H&P indicated Resident 1 was bed bound, had a tracheostomy, G-tube, and contractures. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Consultation Report (CR), dated 6/12/24, the CR indicated Review of Systems: Unable to be obtained because of altered mental status [change in level of awareness, cognition, attention, or consciousness]. The CR further indicated Resident 1 was unable to respond to verbal stimulation.

Monitor/document for physical/nonverbal indicators of discomfort or distress, and follow-up as needed. During an interview on 10/2/24 at 12:18 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated facility procedure for residents with vital signs (objective measurement of the body ' s basic function such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen level, body temperature, and respiration rate) out of normal range would be addressed right away, and facility practice is to reassess the resident ' s vital sign, then administer any as needed physician standing (PRN - instructions already in place) orders for the abnormal vital sign. RN 1 further stated the attending physician would be notified of the abnormal vital sign if there were no standing orders, then the nurse will carry out the physician ' s orders. During an interview on 10/2/24 at 12:35 with Registered Nurse (RN) 2, RN 2 stated facility practice for residents with abnormal vital signs (vital signs outside of acceptable range) was to first assess the resident, then provide any PRN orders for the abnormal vital sign. RN 2 then stated the resident ' s attending physician would be notified if no PRN orders were available, the nurse would then carry out the new orders and reassess the resident after the intervention was given. During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/2/24 at 2:23 p.m. with the Risk Management Specialist (RMS), Resident 1 ' s vital signs EHR dated 9/20/2024 was review.

During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Documentation, dated September 2022, the P&P indicated, Continuous reassessment of the patient is a nursing expectation, with documentation expected as changes occur. 2. During a review of Resident 3 ' s face sheet, (undated), the face sheet indicated Resident 3 was admitted on [DATE] with an admitting diagnosis of chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition that makes it difficult to breathe). During a review of Resident 3 ' s Consultation Report (CR), dated 8/3/24, the CR indicated, . patient is in persistent vegetative state (a chronic condition where the patient is unable to respond to visual, auditory, tactile, or painful stimuli), chronic respiratory failure, manifests flaccid quadriplegia (a type of paralysis that causes the muscle in the limbs to become limp). During a review of Resident 3 ' s care plan (a document that outlines the care and support a person needs, including the actions, interventions, and goals of their care), undated, the Care Plan indicated, The resident is .Ventilator dependent r/t [related to] Respiratory Failure .
