F 0557 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal possessions. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure one of the 14 final sampled residents (Resident 1) was treated with dignity while receiving medications. Residents Affected - Some * RN 2 failed to close Resident 1's privacy curtains while giving the medications via GT. This failure had the potential to negatively affect Resident 1's well-being. Findings: On 1/9/24 at 0842 hours, during the medication administration observation, RN 2 opened Resident 1's blanket and partially exposed Resident 1's abdomen and GT site. RN 1 administered Resident 1's medications via GT; however, RN 2 did not provide Resident 1 with privacy by not closing the curtain while administering the medications. Resident 1 was in a two-bed room capacity and Resident 1's bed was located close to the door. The facility staff and surveyor were observed walking by Resident 1's room. On 1/9/24 at 1628 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 verified and acknowledged Resident 1's privacy curtain was not closed during the medication administration. On 1/11/24 at 1615 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON acknowledged the residents should be provided with privacy by closing the curtains during the administration of the medications.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the written information regarding the rights to accept or refuse the medical or surgical treatments and formulate the advance directive for one of 14 final sampled resident (Resident 19). In addition, the facility did not have a written policy on advance directives. These failures had the potential for the residents' decision regarding the resident's healthcare and treatment options not being honored. Findings: According to the Code of Federal Regulations, Section § 483.10(g)(12), the facility must comply with the requirements specified in 42 CFR part 489, subpart I (Advance Directives). (i) These requirements include provisions to inform and provide written information to all adult residents concerning the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment and, at the resident ' s option, formulate an advance directive. (ii) This includes a written description of the facility's policies to implement advance directives and applicable State law. 1. Medical record review for Resident 19 was initiated on 1/8/24. Resident 19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 19's H&P examination dated 2/16/23, showed Resident 19 was alert and oriented. Review of Resident 19's POLST dated 2/16/23, showed no documented evidence as to whether Resident 19 had an advance directive. Review of Resident 19's medical record failed to show an advance directive on file or if the advance directive information was provided to Resident 19. On 1/9/24 at 1514 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the Social Worker. The Social Worker verified Resident 19 did not have an advance directive and acknowledged there was no documented evidence Resident 19 received the advance directive information and education. 2.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the MDS was accurate for one of 14 final sampled residents (Resident 6). This failure posed the risk of Resident 6 to not have an individualized plan of case based on her specific needs. Residents Affected - Some Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Minimum Data Set reviewed 12/23 showed Purpose: to identify resident needs and to provide a data base to be used in planning the comprehensive nursing care to meet resident's individual needs and to assist the resident in reaching the highest level of independence possible. Responsible Discipline: RN to coordinate. Procedure 7. The assessment is certified for accuracy by means of a signature of individuals who complete any portion of the assessment. Medical record review for Resident 6 was initiated on 1/9/24 at 1408 hours. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of chronic respiratory failure (a long-term respiratory condition in which the respiratory system is unable to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body). Review of the Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], Section K Swallowing and Nutritional Status showed Resident 6 weighed 113 pounds, had experienced a significant weight loss of 5% or more in one month or 10% more in six months, and was on a physician's prescribed weight-loss regimen. Review of Resident 6's care plan dated 10/0/23, showed a care plan problem addressing the resident's unintended weight loss, a goal of gradual weight gain, and an intervention to increase prostat (a protein supplement) to BID. On 1/10/24 at 0821 hours, an interview was conducted with RDs 1 and 2. Both RDs 1 and 2 stated they completed Section K of the MDS. RDs 1 and 2 confirmed the physician's prescribed weight loss regime meant there should be a physician's order for a weight loss regime. RD 1 stated Resident 6 had not been on a weight loss regime nor had RD 1 or 2 recommended such. RDs 1 and 2 confirmed there was no physician's order for a weight loss regime in Resident 6's medical record. On 1/10/24 at 0943 hours, an interview was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator confirmed she was responsible to check the MDS for accuracy. The MDS Coordinator confirmed Section K of the Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], for Resident 6 showed Resident 6 had experienced a significant weight loss of 5% or more in one month or 10% or more weight loss in six months, and Resident 6 was on a physician prescribed weight loss regime. The MDS Coordinator confirmed a physician prescribed weight loss regime meant there should be a physician's order for a weight loss regime. On 1/10/24 at 1022 hours, the MDS Coordinator confirmed she was not able to find a physician's order for a weight loss regime for Resident 6.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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** 2. Medical record review for Resident 10 was initiated on 1/8/24. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of chronic respiratory failure. Review of Resident 10's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 10 needed oxygen therapy, tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the trachea and a tube placed into the opening to assist with for breathing) care, and mechanical ventilator. Review of the Sub Acute Unit: Physicians Orders for January 2024 showed a physician's order dated 12/23/23, for Resident 10's mechanical ventilator set to mode of AC rate of 14, tidal volume of 500, PEEP of 5, and 40% FiO2, cool aerosol 35% during the day, keep the ventilator at bedside and place on ventilator every night. Review of Resident 10's Care Plan for respiratory condition revised 1/2024, showed the care plan did not address Resident 10's specific physician's order for cool aerosol 35% during the day, keep the ventilator at bedside, and place on ventilator every night. On 1/9/24 at 1453 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 10 was conducted with RT 1. RT 1 stated Resident 10 was able to eat, so they turned off the ventilator and connected the tracheostomy with oxygen for the rest of the day. RT 1 was asked to review the comprehensive care plan for Resident 10's respiratory condition. RT 1 verified there was no care plan for the specific setting of the mechanical ventilator and for the changing to the oxygen administration including turning off the ventilator and connecting to cool aerosol. RT 1 stated there should have been a care plan for the respiratory care interventions. On 1/11/24 at 1509 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 10 was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and verified the above findings. The DON stated the care plan should have been formulated for the respiratory care of the resident. Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the plans of care for two of 14 final sampled residents (Resident 6 and 10) were developed, resident centered, and with measurable goals. This failure posed the risk of not providing appropriate, individualized care to Residents 6 and 10. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Planning reviewed 10/23 showed in part, Purpose: to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive written plan is developed based on the resident assessment instrument and on the individual needs of the resident, Procedure: 4. (d) Problem statements should be followed with a related to or secondary phrase which relates to the problem when appropriate. (e) Objectives/goals are expectations, within the resident's abilities, which can be reached realistically. Each problem should have an objective/goal that is simple, specific and measurable within a specified time frame. 1. Medical record review for Resident 6 was initiated on 1/9/24 at 1408 hours. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

On 1/10/24 at 1338 hours, after the wound care observation for Resident 13 was conducted, LVN 1 was asked how to determine the LAL mattress setting. LVN 1 stated she did not know how to set the LAL mattress, and the machine was delivered pre-set. RN 3 was observed outside Resident 13's room and was asked if she knew how to set the LAL mattress. RN 3 stated the bed arrived set, and she did not know how to set the LAL mattress. On 1/11/24 at 1358 hours, an interview with RNA 1 and CNA 2 was conducted. When asked RNA 1 and CNA 2 how to set the LAL mattress settings, both stated the LAL mattresses were set by the supplier and the staff did not know how to set the LAL mattress for the residents. On 1/11/24 at 1538 hours, an interview with the DON was conducted. When the DON was asked who was responsible to set the LAL mattresses, the DON stated the company that delivered the LAL beds came and did not provide the training to the staff for the LAL beds. The DON acknowledged the company needed to be called to provide an in-serviced for the staff. b. Review of the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel's (NPIAP) Clinical Practice Guideline titled Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries dated 2019 showed repositioning and mobilizing individuals is an important component in the prevention of pressure injuries. The underlying cause and formation of pressure is multifaceted; however, by definition, pressures cannot form without loading, or pressure, on tissue. Extended periods of lying or sitting on a particular part of the body and failure to redistribute the pressure on the body surface can result in sustained deformation of soft tissues and, ultimately, in tissue damage. Typically, a painful stimulus caused by the pressure on the tissue will motivate the individual to change position. Therefore, two primary concerns are the individual's ability to feel pain, and the person's actual physical ability to move or reposition. Repositioning involves a change in position of the lying or seated individual undertaken at regular intervals, with the purpose of relieving or redistributing pressure and enhancing comfort. Mobilization involves assisting or encouraging a person to move or shift into a new position. Individuals who cannot reposition themselves will require assistance in this activity. Review of the facility's P&P titled Skin Integrity Turning and Repositioning revised 3/2021 showed to reposition the resident as frequently as the resident can tolerate, minimally every two hours. Review of Resident 13's Physician's Orders for the month of January 2024 showed to turn or reposition the resident every or within two hours of the last turn, start date 11/28/23. Review of Resident 13's care plan problem addressing the resident's risk for skin breakdown and/or pressure ulcer dated 12/26/22, showed to turn and reposition every two hours and as needed.

This posed the risks of contracting serious illness associated with pneumococcal bacteria. Residents Affected - Some Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Pneumococcal Vaccine, Administration and Guidelines dated 7/2018 showed each resident will be assessed on admission regarding immunizations status. A signed declination by the resident or legal representative must be placed in the resident's chart if refused. A study conducted by the National Library of Medicine in 2017 titled The Full Benefits of Adult Pneumococcal vaccination: A Systematic Review showed, pneumococcal disease causes significant morbidity and mortality in both developing and developed countries, causing 1.6 million deaths annually-more than seasonal influenza, malaria, or HIV/AIDS (Ray Borrow, 2017). Medical review for Resident 6 was initiated on 1/9/24. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 6's pneumonia vaccine consent dated 2/20/21, showed declination of vaccine by the resident's representative. There was no documentation the resident was provided by the facility with education and vaccine thereafter. Review of Resident 6's care plan dated 1/11/24 showed a care plan problem addressing Resident 6 did not receive the pneumococcal vaccine and was last offered in 2023, but the responsible party had declined. The goal outlined in care plan was to continue to monitor for any change in respiratory status. Other interventions included to offer/re-offer pneumococcal vaccine at least annually, provide education to family/responsible party on the benefits of vaccine as well as the risks of declining and its correlation to resident's chronic respiratory condition and ventilator dependence, monitor changes of condition related to resident's respiratory status and respect family preferences/choices and inform responsible party that resident can receive the vaccine anytime if responsible party changes her mind. On 1/11/24 at 1056 hours, an interview was conducted with the IP. The IP stated the vaccination record was reviewed upon admission to determine if the resident had been vaccinated against pneumonia or if the resident was in need of additional doses. The IP further stated the pneumococcal vaccine was to be offered upon admission and annually if refused along with the education regarding the importance of the vaccine. The IP confirmed there was no documentation regarding education and vaccination offered to Resident 6 as stated above.

F 0909 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were accurate and complete including the measurements during the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with the use of bed side rails for four of 14 final sampled residents (Residents 5, 7, 8, and 16). These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death. Findings: According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Side Rail and Entrapment Assessment revised 5/21, showed all residents will be assessed for fall and entrapment risk upon admission to the facility. Residents will be all be reviewed/reassessed quarterly; post fall, and as needed thereafter upon a significant change in condition of the resident by the IDT. Complete the resident Fall Risk Assessment, Bed Side Rail & Assist Bar Evaluation, and Bed Entrapment Risk Assessment upon Admission. The Bed Side Rail Entrapment Risk Assessment tool consist of the FDA Safety Alert zones as shown below: Zone 1 - Within the rail; Zone 2 - Between the top of the compressed mattress and the bottom of the rail, between rails ports; Zone 3 - Between the rail and the mattress; Zone 4 - Between the top of the compressed mattress and the bottom of the rail, at the end of the rails; Zone 5 - Between the split bed rails; Zone 6 - Between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and Zone 7 - Between the head or foot board and the end of the mattress. 1.
