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 serve puree meals on plates (they were
served in cups) for two residents (Resident 3 and Resident 120) out of 12 sampled residents.
This failure had the potential to cause residents, who are on altered textures to lose their rights to be
treated with dignity.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, admission of date of
3/25/23 with diagnoses including Other sequelae of cerebral infarction (residual effects after a stroke).
During a review of Resident 120's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, admission date of
10/9/23 with diagnoses including Encounter for Palliative care (comfort care for terminally ill residents) and
dysphagia (trouble swallowing).
During a review of Resident 3's Physician Orders, dated 10/2023, the Physician Orders indicated, Resident
3 is on regular diet, puree texture, and thin liquids.
During a review of Resident 120's Physician Orders, dated 10/2023, the Physician Orders indicated
Resident 120 was on regular diet, pureed texture, nectar consistency.
During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment used to guide plan of care),
dated 8/29/23, the MDS indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - an assessment to measure
cognition) score of 2 indicating severe cognitive impairment.
During a review of Resident 120's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS did not have a BIMS score. MDS further
indicated that resident is rarely/never understood.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/17/23 at 11:51 a.m., with Kitchen Supervisor (KS) in
the kitchen, puree food was observed in individual thick, red, plastic bowls. KS stated, that puree foods are
always served in individual cups because it is easier for residents to scoop.
During an observation on 10/17/23 at 12:31 p.m. in Resident 120's room, Resident 120's food tray had 3
individual thick red cups containing pureed food.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow physician orders when
administering oxygen to one resident (Resident 170) out of 12 sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure has the potential to cause Resident 170 to be given too much oxygen, which could result in
hospitalization.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 170's admission Record, the admission Record indicated a readmission date
of 7/26/23 with diagnosis including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD - a lung disease that
blocks airflow and makes it difficult to breathe).
During an observation on 10/16/23 at 9:12 a.m., in Resident 170's room, Resident 170 was asleep with
oxygen via nasal cannula (a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen) at 2.5L/min.
During a follow up observation and interview on 10/18/23 at 10:54 a.m., with Resident 170, inside Resident
170's room, Resident 170 was observed with nasal cannula and supplemental oxygen was delivered at
2.5L/min. Resident 170 stated, he uses oxygen mostly at night.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 10/18/23 at 10:55 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN 1), Resident 170's physician orders dated 10/2023 and progress notes were reviewed. The physician
orders indicated O2 @ 1L/min via NC to keep oxygen saturation >94% as needed. LVN 1 stated,
resident 170 was having difficulty breathing yesterday (10/17) so she bumped up oxygen' to 2-3 (liters). LVN
1 also stated, that for any change of condition, there should be an SBAR (Situation, Background,
Assessment, Recommendation - a way to clearly and concisely communicate a resident's situation), notify
MD, and write progress notes. A review of Resident 170's progress notes did not show change of condition
documentation and no SBAR documentation.
During a record review of Resident 170's nursing progress notes from 8/2023 to 10/2023, nursing progress
notes indicated Resident 170, was on supplemental oxygen at 2 liters per minute starting 10/2/23 through
last progress note dated 10/9/23. A nursing progress note dated 8/10/2023 indicated a new order for
oxygen to be given 1L/min via NC to keep oxygen saturation >94% as needed.
During an interview on 10/19/23 at 9:09 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated if resident 170 is
having difficulty breathing, put 1 liter of oxygen as ordered, if it is not enough, then turn up the oxygen until
3L until oxygen saturation is in acceptable range, then notify MD they had to change the amount of oxygen.
Nurses will then document in skilled charting or progress note. DON stated that if there is a need to change
orders, then nurses need to do SBAR and change of condition (COC) charting.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure dialysis (a treatment to remove extra fluid
and waste products from the blood when the kidneys cannot) communication records were completed for
one (Resident 6) of one sampled resident.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to miss signs of illness such as fever or bleeding, which could lead to
hospitalization.
Findings:
A review of Resident 6s admission record, the admission record indicated, admission date of 7/23/23 with
diagnoses including end stage renal disease (the last stage of long-term kidney disease where the kidneys
no longer work) and dependence on renal dialysis.
During a review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated, Resident 6
had dialysis three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
During a record review of Resident 6's Hemodialysis Communication records dated 9/12/23 through
10/17/23, the Hemodialysis Communication records for hemodialysis treatment days on 9/12/23, 10/7/23
and 19/17/23 were not completed.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 10/18/23 at 8:51 a.m., of Resident 6's Hemodialysis
Communication records, dated 9/12/23, 10/7/23, and 10/17/23, with Director of Staff Development (DSD),
DSD confirmed Hemodialysis Communication records were missing. DSD further stated, it is important to
check resident after treatment to monitor bleeding from the access site and check for signs of infection.
DSD stated, it is important because staff need to know what is going on with the resident and they are
expected to complete the hemodialysis communication record before the resident goes to dialysis and
when the resident returns to facility.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care of a Resident on Dialysis (undated), the
policy indicated nursing services .monitor and assess the resident's condition, the effects of dialysis and
.prevent complications .5.Nursing must complete dialysis communication form on dialysis days .
