F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an encoded, accurate, and complete MDS discharge assessment was electronically completed and transmitted to the CMS System within 14 days after completion for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #86) reviewed for discharge MDS assessments. The facility failed to ensure Resident #86's discharge MDS assessment was completed within 14 days of discharge. This failure could place residents at risk of not having records completed and submitted in a timely manner as required.Findings include: Record review of a face sheet dated 07/23/2025 indicated Resident #86 was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 04/26/2025. Resident #86 was admitted with diagnoses which included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (condition where there is not enough oxygen in the blood) and fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing (fracture of the thigh long bone). Record review of Resident #86's Nursing Home Discharge Item Set with an ARD of 04/26/2025 indicated Resident #86 discharged home/community on 04/26/2025. The Nursing Home Discharge Item Set was signed completed on 05/15/2025 by MDS Coordinator E., which indicated it was completed 5 days late. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:07 PM, MDS Coordinator E said she was responsible for completing Resident #86's discharge assessment. MDS Coordinator E said they had the discharge day plus 14 days to complete the discharge assessments, and Resident #86's discharge assessment was completed a couple days late. MDS Coordinator E said it was hard to complete the discharge assessments in a timely manner because they were swamped with other MDS assessments, and the discharge assessments were not a priority. MDS Coordinator E said MDS Coordinator D helped her to complete the discharge assessments to try to keep them up to date. MDS Coordinator E said it was important to complete the discharge assessments timely for CMS to be aware the residents had been discharged from the facility. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:15 PM, MDS Coordinator D said Resident #86's discharge assessment was probably not completed in a timely manner. MDS Coordinator D said their priority was the admission MDS assessments and the skilled MDS assessments. MDS Coordinator D said she did not know the required timeframes for completion of the discharge assessments. MDS Coordinator D said it was important to complete the discharge MDS assessments because that was how they got paid. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 4:32 PM, the Administrator said the MDS Coordinators were responsible for completing the discharge assessments. The Administrator said she expected for them to be completed per the requirements. The Administrator said not completed the discharge assessments per the requirements could affect their reports. Record review of the MDS Final Validation Report, submission date 05/15/2025, indicated, Resident #86's Nursing Home Item Discharge Set was completed more than 14 days after the ARD. Record review of the facility's policy titled, MDS Completion and Submission Timeframes, revised July 2017 indicated, Our facility will conduct and submit resident assessments in accordance with current federal and state submission timeframes.

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 that a resident who needed respiratory care was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for respiratory care. (Resident #33) The facility failed to administer Resident #33's oxygen as ordered on 07/22/25. This failure could place residents who receive respiratory care at risk for developing respiratory complications.Findings included: Record review of Resident #33's face sheet dated 07/22/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old male who readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included heart failure (chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should) and acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia (condition where the lungs cannot adequately remove carbon dioxide from the blood, leading to dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide). Record review of Resident #33's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was able to be understood and understood others. Resident #33 had a BIMS score of 9 which indicated his cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #33 received oxygen therapy. Record review of Resident #33's comprehensive care plan revised on 09/10/24, indicated Resident #33 had oxygen therapy related to ineffective gas exchange. The care plan indicated Resident #33 received oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute for shortness of breath and oxygen saturation 90%. Record review of Resident #33's order summary report dated 07/22/25, indicated he had an order for oxygen 2 liters as needed to maintain oxygen saturation greater than 90% with an order start date of 05/29/25. The order indicated to obtain oxygen saturation every shift and mark Y if oxygen was applied with the amount and to mark N if oxygen was not applied. Record review of Resident #33's medication administration record dated 07/01/25-07/31/25, indicated on 07/22/25 in the AM Resident #33 was administered oxygen at 2 liters by LVN M.

During an observation and interview on 07/22/25 at 1:47 PM, Resident #33 was in his bed and received oxygen at 3.5 liters per minute via nasal cannula. He said he started using the oxygen about a week ago and was unsure of what the oxygen was supposed to be set at. He said the nurse handled the oxygen setting. During an observation and interview on 07/22/25 at 4:29 PM, the MDS Coordinator went to Resident #33's room and observed his oxygen setting. She said Resident #33's oxygen was set at 4 liters per minute. She went to review his orders and said Resident #33 had an order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute. She said the oxygen task had been marked completed by LVN M that morning. She said the nurse making the morning rounds was responsible for ensuring the oxygen was set at the ordered rate. She said failure to check the oxygen rate could place the resident at risk for receiving too much oxygen or not enough which could cause them to have trouble breathing. The MDS Coordinator went and checked Resident #33's oxygen saturation and it read 90% which she said could have been the reason the oxygen was titrated up. She said the nurse should have made a note or notified the doctor when the oxygen was increased. During an interview on 07/23/25 at 2:17 PM, the DON said she strongly believed oxygen was a nursing intervention. She expected the orders and care plan to reflect the amount of oxygen the resident received. She said every resident in the facility should have had an order for oxygen at 2-4 liters per minute and the nurse who placed Resident #33's order should have never written it for 2. She said the nurse should have known to write the oxygen orders for 2-4 liters per minute. She said there were no risks for Resident #33 not receiving his oxygen at the ordered rate. During an interview on 07/23/25 at 2:40 PM, the Administrator said administration of oxygen was a nursing function and to be used as an intervention. She said she expected orders to be obtained and the residents orders to be updated accordingly.

LVN A said she should not have left Resident #24's breathing treatment in his nebulizer. LVN A said she should have stayed with Resident #24 until he completed his breathing treatment. LVN A said she did not know Resident #24 had 2 ampules of formoterol fumerate on his overbed table. LVN A said she had not given them to Resident #24. LVN A said he was not supposed to have them in his room because they had confused residents, and someone else could go in his room and get them. LVN A said she did not know of risks associated with leaving Resident #24's budesonide and perforomist in the nebulizer chamber. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:36 PM, the ADON said they did not use self-administration for the residents. The ADON said they had several demented residents that could go in the rooms, and they did not have any residents who would qualify to self-administer medications. The ADON said Resident #24 should not have had ampules of formoterol fumerate on his overbed table. The ADON said the charge nurse, management, and the CNAs should report medications in the residents' rooms if they saw them. The ADON said Resident #24 had memory lapses and he was not able to administer medications to himself. The ADON said other residents could go in Resident #24's room and consume the medications, and they could have negative reactions. The ADON said Resident #24 could potentially get double dosed. The ADON said when a nurse administered a breathing treatment they should stay with the resident and make sure the residents were taking the medication. The ADON said if the resident did not want to complete the breathing treatment the nurse should document the medication as refused, but they should not leave it in the nebulizer chamber. The ADON said leaving the medication in the nebulizer chamber could result in Resident #24 not getting the full medication. The ADON said the residents could have respiratory issues if they did not get the full effect of the treatment and have a negative outcome. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:45 PM, the DON said the residents should not have medications in their rooms. The DON said Resident #24 should not have formoterol fumerate in his room.
