**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff (CNA 5 and CNA 6) promoted
dignity for two of two sampled residents (Resident 49 and 84), by not standing over the residents as they
were assisted with dining during breakfast.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Residents 49 and 84's self-esteem and self-worth.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 49's admission record, it indicated Resident 49 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnosis that included unspecified dementia without
behavioral disturbance (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember, severe
enough to affect a person's daily functioning), bilateral osteoarthritis of the hip (the cartilage within a joint
begins to break down and the underlying bone begins to change), and spondylosis (age-related change of
the bones (vertebrae) and discs of the spine).
During a review of Resident 49's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and
screening tool) dated 9/13/21, indicated Resident 49 had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily
decision-making. The MDS indicated the resident needed extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers,
and dressing. The MDS also indicated Resident 49 was totally dependent with locomotion, toilet use,
personal hygiene, and bathing, and required limited assistance in eating (indicated staff provide guided
maneuvering of limbs or other non-weight-bearing assistance).
During an observation and interview on 11/2/21, at 8:47 a.m., in Resident 49's room, Resident 49 was
observed seated on a wheelchair. Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) was observed standing while
feeding breakfast to Resident 49. Resident 49 was observed extending her neck to look up to CNA 5. CNA
5 stated when assisting resident to eat, they are supposedly sitting down. CNA 5 was not able to answer
why she should sit down. She stated, I forgot the word for it. CNA 5 stated she was passing by and just
started helping the resident. CNA 5 later stated the reason staff sit down while feeding residents is for
dignity.
b. During a review of Resident 84's admission records, it indicated Resident 84 was originally admitted to
the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnosis that included osteoporosis (disease that
weakens bones), epilepsy (a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes
abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness),
and generalized anxiety disorder (marked by excessive, exaggerated anxiety

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 a plan of care for two of two sampled
residents (Residents 50 and 56):
a. Resident 50 had wandering and intrusive behavior, would enter other resident's rooms, make their beds
without permission and without washing her hands.
b. Resident 56 had a high risk for falls.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in a delay in care and services needed for Resident 50,
and falls for Resident 56.
Findings:

diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease (general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious
enough to interfere with daily life), major depressive disorder (mood disorder that causes a persistent
feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with daily life), and disorder of bone density and
structure (more likely to break).
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive assessment and care screening tool)
dated 9/13/21, indicated Resident 50 had moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making and
required minimal assistance and minimal assist for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use, and bathing.
During an observation on 11/2/21, at 9 a.m., Resident 50 was observed in another resident's room making
the residents bed. Resident 50 stated it was okay for her to make the other resident's bed, because it was
her Hermana, my sister. Resident 50 stated she always made her bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/2/21, at 10:35 a.m. Resident 50 was observed putting
her own purse in Resident 51's closet. Resident 50 also complained of missing some clothes. CNA 7, (who
has been employed by the facility for one year) stated she has seen Resident 50 in other resident rooms
making other resident's bed. CNA 7 stated when staff see her, they tell her to stop and redirect her. CNA 7
stated Resident 50 always says it is her mother's bed she is making. Also, Resident 50 also thinks her
daughter works in the facility. CNA 7 then moved the purse Resident 50 placed in Resident 51's closet.
CNA 7 does not know why Resident 50's closet was empty.
During an interview with CNA 11 on 11/4/21, at 8:08 a.m., CNA 11 stated Resident 51 always takes her
clothes from the closet and packs them every morning, as if she is leaving the facility. The staff place

The DSD stated if the CNA was not following the plan of care (POC), the CNA gets written up for the safety
of residents and employees. The DSD stated when injury occurs, fractures, and hospital admission, will
have to report to health department. DSD stated all staff was responsible specially DSD because he has to
reeducate the staff again. DSD stated CNA 12 is a newly graduated CNA and the CNA just had her
orientation.
During an interview with LVN 2 on November 04, 2021 at 1:55 p.m., LVN 2 stated CNA 12 changed her
story a couple of times. LVN 2 stated she was called in the shower room and found Resident 89 down, side
lying. LVN 2 stated Resident 89 made eye contact after neuro assessment. LVN 2 stated neuro checks
should be done for 72 hours to monitor for change in level of consciousness. LVN 2 stated at the start of
every shift, staff are made aware of what are the specific needs of residents and expects them to know if a
resident needs two persons assist. LVN 2 stated she continuously reminded other staff to ask for
assistance. LVN 2 stated Resident 89's fall was avoidable because CNA 12 should have asked for
assistance. LVN 2 stated the CNA did not use the stuff (fall mat) and towels when the floor was wet.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled Policy and Procedure on Fall Prevention
Program indicated on the Facility-wide Environmental Assessment an environmental assessment should be
done regularly as part of the Fall Prevention Program. Facility should identify common, recognizable
hazards that impact risk for falls. Staff must recognize and view the environment from the prospective of a
resident with multiple limitations. Environmental Interventions that can help prevent falls entails as much
environmental check and modification, such as bathrooms: Check floors frequently to ensure they are not
slippery, especially when wet. Tubs, showers, and floors should have non-skid mats. Care Planning comprehensive long term care plan should be developed for residents identified to be at high risk for falls or
further falls. Plan of care should:
Identify and address risk & confounding factors to fall incidents, such as: Impaired physical functioning
-resident would require assistance with mobility and locomotion.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility's Administrative staff failed to ensure the Certified
Nurse Assistant (CNA) staff was competent and had the necessary skills to safely care for one out of one
resident (Resident 5) who was receiving hemodialysis ([HD] is a process of purifying the blood of a person
whose kidneys are not working normally).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in severe bleeding and malfunction of the HD shunt (a
silicone tube surgically implanted into a vein and into an artery to move blood through a filter at a high rate)
site for Resident 5.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 5's admission and Discharge Record indicated, the resident was originally
admitted to the skilled nursing facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included dementia (a group of
thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), chronic kidney disease (a longstanding
disease of the kidneys leading to renal failure) and was dependent on hemodialysis (a treatment to filter
wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys did when they were healthy).
During a review of Resident 5's Physician Orders dated 8/1/20, indicated the resident went to hemodialysis
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. During a review of the physician's order indicated a nursing alert that
read, no blood pressures on the left arm.
During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care plan
screening tool) dated 8/3/2021, indicated Resident 5 had the ability to understand others and to make
self-understood. The MDS also indicated, Resident 5 required supervision with bed mobility, transfers,
dressing, eating, toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS further indicated that Resident 5 required HD
treatment.
During a review of Resident 5's Care Plan dated 10/21/20, identified the resident's problem was the
presence of a left upper arm shunt related to hemodialysis. The care plan intervention for this problem
included to carefully handle the left upper arm during care and to observe for redness and bleeding.
During a review of a written dialysis note dated 11/1/21, indicated Resident 5 had a hemodialysis access,
on the upper left arm.
During a review of Resident's 5 Care Plan dated 11/4/21, indicated the facility had identified a problem for
end stage renal disease which required HD treatment, three times a week via (by) a shunt on the upper left
arm.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/3/2021 at 9:06 a.m., Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA
2) stated, she did not know where Resident 5's hemodialysis site was. CNA 2 also stated, she did not have
to take any special precautions to measure the resident's blood pressure (the force of circulating blood on
the walls of the arteries). CNA 2 stated, she measured the blood pressure for the resident on his left arm,
because it was closer to his heart. CNA 2 said, she did not know what a

HD emergency kit was and had not seen one in the facility. The HD emergency kit was shown to CNA 2 and
she stated, the kit was used when residents scratched themselves.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/3/21 at 1:42 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN
1) stated, she notified the CNAs not to measure the blood pressure for Resident 5 on the left arm, where
the shunt is. LVN 1 stated, measuring the blood pressure on Resident 5's extremity could cause the
resident to lose a lot of blood, cause the blood pressure to drop and the resident could faint.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/4/21 at 7:51 a.m., the Director of Nurses (DON)
stated the CNAs should know not to take the blood pressure on the resident's left arm.
During an interview on 11/04/21 at 9:50 a.m., CNA 4 stated when she was assigned to work with the
resident and was told to measure his blood pressure, on the right arm. CNA 4 stated, she did not know the
reason why she was told to take the blood pressure for the resident, on the right arm. CNA 4 stated, she
assumed the reason was not to take the blood pressure on the left arm was to obtain an accurate
measurement.
During an interview on 11/4/21 at 3:18 p.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated he did not
provide hemodialysis in-service (training) for the staff. The DSD stated, he needed to include hemodialysis
in-service to the staff to ensure the CNAs knew how to safely care for a HD resident.
During a review of the facility's policy titled Care of the resident Receiving Renal Dialysis (undated),
indicated the shunt care where the shunt was located was important to prevent stress and tension which
could cause irritation to the canula-blood vessel connection as pressure above or below the extremity
should be avoided at all times. The policy also indicated, post dialysis care included the CNA would take
the resident's vital signs upon return from dialysis and would not take the blood pressure on the arm with
the shunt.
During a review of another facility's policy titled Care of the resident Receiving renal Dialysis undated
indicated, staff would be aware of special care and needs of the resident receiving renal dialyses. The
policy further indicated, the medical records would alert staff to location of shunt and blood pressure would
not be taken on arm with shunt.
