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** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to develop the
comprehensive plan of care to reflect the individual care needs for one of five unnecessary medication final
sampled residents (Resident 3).
* The facility failed to develop the comprehensive person-centered care plan to address the use of PICC
(peripherally inserted central catheter - intravenous access used for a prolonged period of time) line for
Resident 3. This failure had the potential risk of not providing appropriate, consistent, and individualized
care to the resident.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Nursing Services - Care Plan dated 3/24/20, showed the facility shall
implement each resident's care plan according to the resident's needs, physician orders, resident
preferences and facility protocols as indicated. The care plans updated upon significant change in status,
quarterly and annually.
On 7/31/23 at 1415 hours, Resident 3 was observed sitting on his bed awake. Resident 3 stated he had an
infection on his bone (jaw) and was receiving an antibiotic through the IV line. Resident 3 was able to show
his PICC line on his right upper arm and a single lumen PICC line was observed.
Medical record review for Resident 3 was initiated on 8/1/23. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of the Order Summary Report dated 8/1/23, showed a physician's order dated 6/28/23 to inspect
the IV site every shift for redness, tenderness, edema, and leaking. Another physician's order dated
7/25/23, showed to change the PICC line dressing on RUA (right upper arm) every night shift on Sundays
and as needed. A physician's order dated 6/28/23, showed to administer Ertapenem Sodium Reconstituted
(antibiotic) 1 gm intravenously every 24 hours for osteomyelitis for 40 days.
Review of Resident 3's Admission/readmission Evaluation - V 4 form dated 6/28/23, showed under section
4b, Body Check, Resident 3 was admitted with LUE (left upper extremity) PICC line.
Review of Resident 3's plan of care failed to show a care plan was formulated addressing Resident 3's use
of RUA PICC line. However, a care plan problem addressing for the use of LUE PICC dated 8/1/23 was
formulated but the interventions included to change the dressing on the RUA PICC line.
Further review of Resident 3's medical record showed on the Nurses admission summary dated [DATE],
Resident 3 was admitted to the facility with a PICC line on RUE (right upper extremity).
On 8/2/23 at 1424 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 3 was conducted
with RN 1. RN 1 stated Resident 3 had a PICC line on the right upper arm and the dressing was changed
every seven days. RN 1 stated Resident 3 was on IV antibiotic for oral infection. RN 1 verified the care plan
formulated for Resident 3's use of the PICC line on the right upper was not formulated. RN 1 stated there
should have been a care plan formulated when Resident 3 was admitted to the facility and formulate a care
plan correctly based on the resident problem.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the facility's P&P titled Proper Use of Assist Rail Guidelines revised 7/6/21, showed the following:
-The use of assist rails will be determined by the IDT, physician, and resident's ability to use the assist rail
to improve function or as requested;
- An assessment will be made by the IDT to determine the resident's symptoms, risk of entrapment and
reason for using assist rails. When used for mobility or transfer, an assessment will include a review of the
resident's bed mobility, ability to change positions, transfer to and from bed or chair, and to stand and toilet,
risk of entrapment from the use of assist rails, and the bed's dimensions are appropriate for the resident's
size and weight;
- Less restrictive interventions that will be incorporated in care planning include: providing restorative care
to enhance abilities to stand safely and to walk, placing the bed lower to the floor and surrounding the bed
with a soft mat, providing staff monitoring at night with periodic assistance with toileting for residents
attempting to arise to use the bathroom, and /or furnishing visual and verbal reminders to use the call bell
for residents who can comprehend this information;
- Documentation will indicate if less restrictive approaches are not successful, prior to considering the use
of assist rails; and
- When assist rail usage is appropriate, the facility will assess the space between the mattress and assist
rail to reduce the risk for entrapment (the amount of space may vary, depending on the type of bed and
mattress being used).
On 7/31/23 at 0849 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 191 was observed lying in bed with
the right assist rail elevated. When asked about the right assist rail, Resident 191 stated she used it to turn
and reposition, but she did not use the assist rail much because she did not have strength on her right side.
Medical record review was initiated on 7/31/23. Resident 191 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 191's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 7/25/23, for side rail to
the right side of the bed to increase bed mobility and promote resident independence.
Review of Resident 191's Bed Utilization assessment dated [DATE], under Fall and Entrapment Risk
Determination, showed for the questions whether resident had history of falls, whether resident had an
impaired cognition, delirium, seizure disorder or other medical condition that increases risk, and whether
resident takes any medication that may alter safety or level of consciousness, the yes column was checked.
Under the Other Concerns or Comments section, showed assist in bed mobility also used to ease
placement of bed pan by using unaffected leg to lift pelvis. Under the Interdisciplinary Team
Recommendations section showed bed rails were recommended, and the bed rails to be used was the right
assist rails. However, the IDT representative names and dates were missing. The assessment form did not
show any least restrictive interventions prior to the use of the assist rails. In addition,

On 8/2/23 at 1026 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 19 was
conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 19 used the right-side rail for repositioning in bed. LVN 1
stated the licensed nurse completed the side rail assessment, asked for physician's order, and obtained
informed consent for the use of any side rails. LVN 1 added, use of alternative prior to side rail use and two
staff verifying, depending to the performance of the resident, then brought up to the IDT and the final
answer coming from the IDT. LVN 1 verified there was no least restrictive alternatives attempted prior to
installation of the side rail for Resident 19. LVN 1 stated there should have been an alternative attempted
before using the side rail.
On 8/3/23 at 1008 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 19 was
conducted with the DON. The DON verified the above findings.
Cross reference to F909, example # 3.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
two of 12 final sampled residents (Residents 10 and 19) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 191)'s
side rails were properly assessed and the least restrictive alternative measures were implemented or
attempted prior to the use of side rails.
* The facility failed to ensure the least restrictive alternative measures were implemented or attempted for
Resident 10 prior to the use of the assist rail. In addition, there was no assessment conducted by the IDT
for Resident 10 prior to the use of the assist rails as per the facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to ensure the least restrictive alternatives were attempted prior to the initiation of the
assist rails for Resident 191. In addition, there was no assessment conducted by the IDT for Resident 191
prior to the use of assist rails as per the facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to ensure the least restrictive alternative measures were implemented or attempted for
Resident 19 prior to the use of the assist rail.
These failures had the potential to put the residents at risk for entrapment and serious injuries.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Proper Use of Assist Rails Guidelines revised 7/6/21, showed an
assessment will be made by the IDT to determine the resident's symptoms, risk of entrapment, and reason
for using assist rails. When used for mobility, or transfer, an assessment will include a review of the
resident's bed mobility, ability to change positions, transfer to and from bed or chair, and to stand, and toilet,
risk for entrapment from the use of assist rails, and that the bed's dimensions are appropriate for the
resident's size and weight. Less restrictive interventions that will be incorporated in care planning include:
providing restorative care to enhance abilities to stand safely and to walk, placing the bed lower to the floor
and surrounding the bed with a soft mat, providing staff monitoring at night with periodic assistance with
toileting for residents attempting to arise to use the bathroom, and/or furnishing visual and verbal reminders
to use the call bell for residents who can comprehend this information.
1. On 7/31/23 at 0859 hours and 8/1/23 at 0850 hours, Resident 10 was observed laying in bed with left

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the accurate
documentation of one wasted medication on the Controlled Drug Record for one nonsampled resident
(Resident 32). This failure had the potential for drug diversion (illegal distribution or abuse of prescription
drugs or their use for unintended purposes) of controlled medications.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Disposal of Medications revised 11/2017 showed single wasted doses of
controlled drugs may be destroyed by two licensed nurses (in any combination) with signature
documentation on count sheet and explanation on back of med sheet and/or nurses/progress notes.
Review of Resident 32's MAR for June 2023 showed the resident refused an order dated 6/22/23, for
lorazepam (antianxiety) 0.5 mg, one tablet by mouth at bedtime for anxiety manifested by verbalization of
nervousness. The MAR also showed the resident had refused the medication on 6/27/23.
On 8/2/2023, at 1340 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON reviewed Resident 32's MAR for June 2023 and verified Resident 32 had refused the
bedtime dose for lorazepam 0.5 mg tablet on 6/27/23. Concurrent review of the Controlled Drug Record for
the lorazepam 0.5 mg. medication for Resident 32 was conducted. The DON verified there was a missing
witness signature for the wasted lorazepam 0.5 mg, on 6/27/23 at 2100 hours. The DON was asked about
her expectations of staff for wasted controlled drugs. The DON stated staff was expected to sign with a
witness when the medication was wasted.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure three of
12 final sampled residents (Residents 10, 392, and 541) were free from the unnecessary psychotropic
medications (any drug that affects brain activity).
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 10's episodes of behaviors for the use of quetiapine (antipsychotic
medication use to treat symptoms of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (a mental illness that causes
disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions) and escitalopram
(antidepression medication) were completed, accurate, summarized, and made available to the prescriber
on a monthly basis to serve as reference for gradual dose reduction.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 392's episodes of behaviors for the use of risperidone (antipsychotic
medication use to treat symptoms of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (a mental illness that causes
disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions) and temazepam
(medication to treat sleeping problems) were accurate, summarized, and made available to the prescriber
on a monthly basis to serve as a reference for gradual dose reduction.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 541's behavioral monitoring and interventions for the use of zolpidem
(a sedative) was accurate.
These failures have the potential of not providing the correct data to the prescriber in order to adjust the
dose of the psychotropic medications for the residents.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled XXVIII. Psychotropic Medication Use revised 10/2018 showed monitoring
will be completed on the Medication Administration Record by appointed nursing staff, such as tallying
behaviors and adverse effect observed each shift. The nurse should review the resident's symptoms and
effectiveness of the psychotherapeutic medication on a weekly basis as part of the licensed weekly
summary and will summarize monthly for review by MD.

at 1505 hours, Medication Cart 1 parked in the seating area near the rursing station was observed to be
locked but the first left drawer was left open and unattended. A facility staff was observed passing by.
On [DATE] at 1507 hours, LVN 4 was observed walking towards Nursing Station A. LVN 4 verified
Medication Cart 1 was locked but the first left drawer was left open and unattended. When LVN 4 was
asked to open the first left drawer, the drawer contained several insulin pens. When LVN 4 was asked to
open the other drawers, LVN 4 was able to open the drawers. The drawers contained multiple bubble packs
of medications.
On [DATE] at 1510 hours, LVN 4 asked LVN 5 to check Medication Cart 1. LVN 5 stated she was in charge
of Medication Cart 1. LVN 5 verified Medication Cart 1 was locked but the first left drawer was left open and
unattended, and since a drawer was left opened, the other drawers could be opened even when the
medication cart was locked. LVN 5 stated she would have to call the pharmacy to service Medication Cart
1.
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary
pharmacy services to ensure proper storage, labeling, and disposal of medications.
* The facility failed to ensure the opened tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) vial was labeled with
opened date. This failure had the potential to negatively impact the residents' well-being.
* The facility failed to ensure the discontinued medications for one of the 12 final sampled residents
(Resident 10) was removed from the medication cart. This failure had the potential for medications to be
accidentally administered and/or diverted.
* Multiple prescription medications were left unattended inside Medication Room A with an unaccompanied
unlicensed staff. This failure had the potential for unauthorized access and drug diversions in the facility.
* The facility failed to ensure the medication carts were properly locked and secured. Medication Cart 1 was
left unlocked and unattended. This had the potential for unauthorized persons to have access to the
medications inside the medication cart.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled I. Injectable Medications Revised 10/2018 showed that Tuberculin PPD
(Mantoux) which has been opened and in use for one month should be discarded because oxidation and

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, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure
residents' entrapment assessments were accurate, complete, and the measurements were recorded during
the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with the use of bed side rails for all seven
residents with side rails. 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. The seven areas in the bed
system where there is a potential for entrapment are:
- Zone 1: within the rail;
- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;
- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;
- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;
- Zone 5: between 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 mattress end.
An observation and concurrent interview, medical record review, and facility document review for Residents
10, 19, and 191, showed the residents' bed entrapment assessment were not accurate or the bed
inspection gap measurement were recorded from bed to side rails. For example:
1. On 7/31/23 at 0859 hours and 8/1/23 at 0850 hours, Resident 10 was observed lying in bed with left side
bed grab rail elevated.
Medical record review for Resident 10 was initiated on 7/31/23. Resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 10's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 10 had moderately impaired cognition and
required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility and transfer.
Review of Resident 10's Order Summary Reports for July and August 2023, showed a physician's order

dated 6/17/23, for left side assist rail to help promote self-turn and reposition every shift.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of Resident 10's Bed Rail Utilization assessment dated [DATE], under Fall and Entrapment Risk
Determination section showed Resident 10 was high risk for fall, had history of falls in the last year, had
impaired cognition, delirium, seizures disorder or other medical condition that increases risk, had specialty
mattress, and taking medication that may alter safety or level of consciousness. Under Mobility Assessment
section showed the side rail was being considered in order to increase bed mobility and promote resident
independence only. Under the Interdisciplinary Team Recommendations section showed bed rails are
recommended, and the bed rails to be used was the left assist rails. However, the IDT representative
names and dates were missing. The assessment form did not show any least restrictive interventions prior
to the use of the assist rails. In addition, the assessment form did not show an assessment by the IDT was
conducted prior to the use of the assist rails.
Residents Affected - Few
Further review of the medical record failed to show documented evidence of any least restrictive
alternatives were attempted, and IDT assessment was conducted prior to the use of the left assist rails.
Review of Resident 10's Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet dated 7/21/21, showed
the left half bed rail encircled with Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4 with a P encircled; however, there were no
measurements for the gaps in between the bed and side rail.
Review of Resident 10's Monthly Skilled Nursing Room Checklist dated 7/25/23, under the Furniture/Beds
section, failed to document if Resident 10's bed had side rail present. However, Resident 10's bed
assessment was checked to ensure side rail for good condition and note areas around bed at risk for
entrapment.
On 8/2/23 at 1248 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
Plant Operations Technician I. The Plant Operations Technician I verified there were no exact
measurements documented in Resident 10's Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet.
The Plant Operations Technician I stated he received notification from the nursing department to install bed
side rail before the new admission arrived at the facility because it will be hard to install the bed rail if the
resident was in the bed. The Plant Operation Technician I stated he completed an entrapment assessment
to ensure the bed passed correctly. The Plant Operation Technician I further stated he was one of two
people responsible for installing resident's bed side rail. The Plant Operation Technician I demonstrated
how he would use the entrapment measuring device and stated he placed the measuring device in
between the gap from the bed and side rail to make sure the measuring device did not go through the gap.
The Plant Operation Technician I further stated if the measuring device did not go through the gap in
between the bed and side rail, it meant the bed pass for the entrapment assessment. The Plant Operation
Technician I also stated he did not measure the gaps from the head and foot of the bed nor documented
exact measurements of the gaps in the Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet. The
Plant Operation Technician I verified he was not familiar with the different zones for the bed inspection for
entrapment assessment risk.
On 8/2/23 at 1557 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
Plant Operations Manager. The Plant Operations Manager verified and acknowledged the above findings.
The Plant Operations Manager verified Resident 10's Monthly Skilled Nursing Room Checklist dated
7/25/23, under Furniture/Beds section, did not show if Resident 10's bed had a side rail present and was
assessed for good condition. The Plant Operations Manager stated side rails should be documented in the
form before inspection.
