Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to immediately consult with the resident's
physician, when there was a significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status
(that was, a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or
clinical complications) and a need to alter treatment significantly for 1 of 6 Residents (Resident #45) who
was reviewed for a decline in status, in that:
The facility failed to ensure the Physician/Medical Director for Resident #45 was notified when the resident
was sent to the hospital ER on at least 15 occasions for complications of his nephrostomy tube. Resident
#45 was first documented to have a kidney stone requiring a nephrostomy tube (an opening between the
kidney and the skin. A nephrostomy tube is a thin plastic tube that is passed from the back, through the skin
and then through the kidney, to the point where the urine collects) and needed to see a urologist on
09/2023. Resident #45 was scheduled for surgery on 04/09/24 but the surgery was canceled due to an
insurance issue since the facility did not properly follow up on the insurance requirements. The facility failed
to follow up with the Resident's Physician and rescheduling the surgery.
This failure could place residents at risk for harm by denying the physician an opportunity to intervene.
The findings were:
Record review of Resident #45's face sheet, dated 11/06/23, revealed Resident #45 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of hypertension secondary to other renal disorders, and hydronephrosis
with ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Record review of Resident #45's discharge-return anticipated MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #45's
cognition for daily decision making was severely impaired-never/rarely made decisions.
Record review of Resident #45's care plan last updated 2/5/24 revealed a problem showing Resident #45
was known to exhibit aggressive behaviors during ADL care with approach to address the resident with a
calm voice, allow opportunity to make choices and participate in care, address by his name, explain in
simple steps the care provided, monitor for contributing factors of irritation/aggression during care, and
monitor for signs and symptoms of infection that could contribute to behaviors and follow up with MD as
needed. The care plan last updated 2/5/24 also revealed a problem showing Resident #45 had a
nephrostomy tube related to kidney stone obstruction. Nurse to monitor for infection, skin irritation, and
dislodgement of nephrostomy tube, staff to empty nephrostomy tube q shift and document output. Nurse to
do preventative care (skin prep) to site every other day and as needed.
Records review of Resident #45's physician orders, dated 4/2024, showed orders for nephrostomy site:
cleanse with normal saline or wound cleanser pat dry apply skin prep, then split gauze, cover with adhesive
dressing every other day or as needed, with a start date of 2/29/24 and no end date.
Review of Resident #45's hospital documents from 09/14/23 to 03/22/24 showed he been hospitalized 15
times for issues with his nephrostomy. Hospital records show he was diagnosed with hydronephrosis
(swelling of one or both kidneys due to a blockage that stops urine form flowing out the body. A

common cause is kidney stones). Hospital records advised the resident to follow up with a specialist for
surgery to remove a kidney stone. The stone was documented as 1 cm on 9/14/23 and 2.6 cm on 1/25/24
with a note that stated Please note that this is the sixth time the nephrostomy tube has been required
replacement since initial placement in August 2023. Long-term percutaneous drainage is not feasible for
this patient. Recommend urology consult for removal of the obstructing stone from the proximal ureter as
the patient would likely no longer need percutaneous drainage once the obstruction is relieved.
During an observation on 5/23/24 at 10:51 a.m. LVN A provided wound care to Resident #45's nephrostomy
site and was assisted by CNA B. Resident #45 was laying on his left side. LVN A removed the bandage
which covered the nephrostomy site/tube insertion into his lower back, or cleaned/dried the area with
gauze, Resident #45, moaned, shouted, and kicked over the tray of supplies on the bed. Resident #45 kept
moaning and grabbed CNA B as LVN A placed a new bandage over the site. LVN A held the resident's arm
as she placed the bandage over the nephrostomy site. After the care was complete Resident #45 laid on
his bed calmly. All previous and subsequent observations of the resident were of him laying calmly in a Geri
chair with his eyes closed.
During an interview on 5/24/24 at 10:12 a.m. LVN A stated the resident would normally react the same way
he did during care the previous day off and on throughout the day. LVN A stated his behavior was random
and had nothing to do with being in pain during care. LVN A stated she could tell if Resident #45 was in
pain because of facial grimacing or he could tell you where his pain was.
During an interview on 5/23/24 at 6:11 p.m. the DON stated Resident #45 did have kidney stone and stated
the hospital was supposed to perform the surgery to remove the stone. The DON stated there was an
insurance issue with the primary care provider (PCP) selected on his primary insurance was not the
medical director of the facility and the resident had not established care with the PCP selected on his
primary insurance. The DON stated she sent the resident's friend to the listed PCP to obtain a signed
referral for surgery, but the friend was told the PCP would not sign it because he had not seen the resident.
The DON stated she needed to call the insurance but had not had time because she was busy with
something else for over a month and could not have her floor nurses sitting on the phone. The DON stated
the resident had standing orders for pain medication and no one had ever informed her that he seemed to
be in pain during care.
During an interview on 5/24/24 at 3:34 p.m. Resident #45's friend stated he had the nephrostomy tube
since June 2023. She stated they have wanted to remove the stone since he got the tube placed, they just
needed a specialist to say it needed to be removed first. She stated the DON told her she needs a
reference number from [the insurance] company for her to get him seen by a specialist and possibly a
notarized medical power of attorney so she can talk to the insurance company because the facility could
not talk to the insurance company. The friend stated she had no plans to legally marry the resident due to
personal reasons. The friend stated she hoped after the kidney stone was removed and the nephrostomy
tube was removed the resident would be able to be taken off all the psychiatric medications that were
making him heavily medicated.
During an interview on 5/24/24 at 4:03 p.m. the BOM stated they had a copy of Resident 45's private
insurance card. She stated the facility did not accept that insurance but they did have a copy of it.
During a follow up interview on 5/25/24 at 12:15 p.m. the DON stated she received a call on 4/04/24, from
the hospital about surgery to remove Resident #45's kidney stone. The DON stated the surgery

was scheduled for April 9th and she was given a deadline of April 5th by the hospital to get a signed referral
from the PCP listed on the insurance. The DON stated she asked Resident #45's friend, who was like his
family member but not legally his family, needed to call the insurance and change his PCP. The DON stated
they missed the deadline, and the surgery was canceled. The DON stated she personally had not spoken
with the insurance company or done anything to follow up on the referral or if the friend changed the PCP
because again, she was busy until a few days before with something else. The DON stated the previous
day she had called the private insurance with the friend and heard an insurance representative tell the
friend they could not release any information to her, only to the resident. The DON stated they tried to tell
the insurance Resident #45 was not able to speak or make decisions and the friend was like his family, but
the insurance would not release information to them and stated the friend could not make any changes to
the insurance.
During an interview on 5/27/24 at 3:02 p.m. the Medical Director (MD) stated he did not recall a resident
under his care with a kidney stone. He stated he did recall the NP informing him of a resident who had been
in and out of the hospital with complications from a nephrostomy tube, but he was sure he had seen a
urologist when he went to the hospital. The MD stated he was not informed of the issues the facility was
having with a referral from the insurance. The MD stated he would have been able to do a doctor-to-doctor
referral or contact the insurance directly to ensure the resident still had the surgery. The MD stated it was a
very broken system and he planned to contact the facility to ensure the resident received the care he
needed.

Residents Affected - Some
Interview on 05/23/24 at 09:15 AM with the DON/ revealed Resident #200 fell on 5/4/24. The DON stated
they suspected Resident #200 had a fall because she was wrapped in her blankets but stated the nurse
who found her did not witness the fall. Resident #200 was unable to speak and not able to tell the nurse
what happened. The DON stated the nurse reported the fall to her right away and she informed the ADM
about the fall. She stated they sent Resident #200 out to the hospital in the morning and returned the same
date, in the evening. The DON questioned whether it was reportable and would not necessarily consider a
golf sized hematoma a major injury. However, stated they would not know if there was a subdural
hematoma until they received the hospital report. The DON stated an injury of unknown origin should be
reported within 2 hours.
Interview on 5/25/24 at 4:30 PM with the ADM revealed he knew about Resident #200's fall but did not
report it. Upon reviewing the facility abuse policy, he stated he should have reported it within 2 hours.

Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to conduct an initial comprehensive
assessment of each resident's functional capacity including the resident's needs, strengths, goals, life
history and preferences for 1 of 5 Residents (Resident 200) reviewed for assessments.
The MDS Coordinator failed to complete Resident #200's comprehensive assessment within 14 days after
admission, 4/23/24
This deficient practice could affect newly admitted residents and result in residents not receiving the care
and services as needed.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #200's face sheet, dated 5/23/24, revealed she was admitted into the facility on 4/23/24
with diagnoses including Fragile X Chromosome (genetic condition inherited from parents which results in
various developmental problems like intellectual disabilities and cognitive impairment) and Severe
Intellectual Disabilities.
Review of Resident #200's admission nursing assessment, dated 4/23/24, revealed Resident #200 had
severe cognitive impairment, she was never understood and did not understand others, required assistance
with all ADLs by 1 staff, was incontinent of bowel and bladder, she wandered and was a high risk for falls.
Review of Resident #200's chart from 4/23/24 to 5/27/24 revealed there was no indication Resident #200's
initial MDS was completed.
Observation on 05/21/2024 at 10:25 AM revealed Resident #200 was sitting on her bed upon entering the
Resident's room. Resident #200 moaned and groaned during an attempt to engage her in conversation.
Resident #200 stood up and exited the room. Resident #200 was observed walking down the hall with a
shirt and a brief on. Her gait was unsteady. Further observation revealed staff at the end of the hall
redirecting Resident #200 back into her room.
Interview on 05/23/24 at 05:15 PM with the MDS Coordinator revealed she had not completed Resident
#200's initial comprehensive assessment which was due 14 days after admission; May 7, 2024. The MDS
Coordinator stated the comprehensive assessment would include all of the Resident's care areas and then
would be included in the comprehensive Care Plan. Staff had access to the comprehensive assessment
and Care Plan which both included the care and services Resident #200 required.
Interview on 05/23/24 at 05:20 PM with the DON revealed it was the MDS Coordinator's responsibility to
ensure the assessments were completely timely which identified all of the residents' care needs. She stated
a comprehensive assessment was due 14 days after a resident's admission.
Review of a facility policy, Resident Assessment Instrument, revised September 2010, read: The
Assessment Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the Interdisciplinary Assessment Team conduct
timely resident assessments and reviews according to the schedule: a. Within (14) fourteen days of the
resident's admission to the facility.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the assessment accurately reflect the
resident's status for 1 of 5 Resident's (Resident #4) whose records were reviewed for assessments.
Residents Affected - Few
The MDS Coordinator failed to code that Resident #4 had a limited range of motion on her upper extremity
related to left hand contracture for two, 2 assessment periods, 6/2/23 and 2/15/24
This deficient practice could affect residents and contribute to the resident's not receiving the necessary
care and services as needed.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #4's annual assessment, dated 6/2/23, revealed she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including Hypertension (high blood pressure and Alzheimer's Disease (a brain
disorder that causes memory loss, thinking problems and behavior changes). Further review revealed
Resident #4's limited range of motion of her upper extremity related to left hand contracture was not coded.
Review of Resident #4's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 2/15/24, revealed Resident #4's limited range of
motion on her upper extremity related to left hand contracture was not coded or that she used a wheelchair
for mobility.
Observation and an attempted interview on 05/21/2024 at 12:30 PM revealed Resident #4 was sitting in a
wheelchair by the nurse's station. Further observation revealed she engaged in limited conversation but it
was difficult to understand her. Resident #4 was noted with left hand contracture.
Interview on 05/23/2024 at 5:00 PM with the MDS Coordinator revealed Resident #4 had a left hand
contracture and she used a wheelchair for mobility. The MDS Coordinator revealed Resident #4's
contracture should have been coded under limited range of motion on her upper extremity on both
assessments dated 6/2/23 and 2/15/24. She further stated the annual assessment, dated 6/2/23, should
have also included she used a wheelchair for mobility.
Interview on 05/25/24 at 04:05 PM with the MDS Coordinator revealed it was important to capture all health
needs on the residents' MDS assessments to ensure staff provided the care and services the resident's
needed.
The MDS Coordinator was asked for a policy on accuracy of MDS assessments on 5/25/24. It was not
provided by exit on 5/27/24.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to refer all residents with possible serious mental disorder or a
related condition for level II resident review upon a significant change in status assessment for 1 of 6
Residents (Resident #45) whose records were reviewed for mental disorders.
The facility failed to refer Resident #45 for a PASARR evaluation based on mental disorder diagnoses
including bipolar disorder and anxiety.
The facility failed to refer Resident #45 for a PASARR evaluation based on mental disorder diagnoses
including manic depression (bipolar disease), anxiety and depression.
This deficient practice could affect residents with a mental illness and contribute to a delay in services
needed.
The findings were:
Record review of Resident #45's face sheet, dated 11/06/23, revealed Resident #45 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Diffuse traumatic brain injury with LOC of unspecified duration, cerebral
infarction, hypertension secondary to other renal disorders, anxiety disorder, depression, and
hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Bipolar disorder was not documented on the face
sheet.
Review of Resident #45's medical record revealed a PASARR Level 1 screening completed 7/5/23. Further
review revealed it did not reflect Resident #45 had diagnoses manic depression (bipolar disease), anxiety
or depression or that he had a mental illness or indicator that Resident #45 had a mental illness.
Record review of psychiatric service progress noted, dated 11/03/23, stated resident #45 was being seen
for evaluation and management of anxiety and bipolar medications. It showed he took sertraline for anxiety
and Depakote and Seroquel for bipolar disorder.
Record review of Resident #45's discharge- return anticipated MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #45's
cognition for daily decision making was severely impaired-never/rarely made decisions. Section I showed
he had diagnosis of anxiety and manic depression (bipolar disease) and section N showed he took
antipsychotic, antianxiety, and antidepressant medication.
Record review of Resident #45's care plan last updated 2/5/24 revealed he was at risk for anxiety and to
administer medications as ordered by MD, was at risk for depression and received antidepressant
medications, and was at risk for psychotic behaviors and received antipsychotic, antianxiety, and
anticonvulsant medication.
Interview on 02/22/24 at 02:04 PM with MDS Coordinator revealed Resident #45's initial PASARR
evaluation was answered as no for a mental illness so a follow up was never initiated. The MDS nurse
stated she would submit a new PASARR level 1.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received treatment and care
in accordance with professional standards of practice for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #45) reviewed for
notification of changes in that:
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #45's nephrostomy tube was removed as soon as medically possible.
Resident #45 was first documented to have a kidney stone requiring a nephrostomy tube (an opening
between the kidney and the skin. A nephrostomy tube is a thin plastic tube that is passed from the back,
through the skin and then through the kidney, to the point where the urine collects) and needed to see a
urologist on 09/2023. Resident #45 was scheduled for surgery on 04/09/24 but the surgery was canceled
due to an insurance issue the facility did not properly follow up on the insurance requirements. The facility
failed to follow up with the Resident's Physician and rescheduling the surgery.
These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 5/25/24 at 7:05 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on 5/27/25 the facility remained out of compliance at a level of potential harm with a scope
identified as isolated until interventions were put in place to ensure prompt notification of a resident's
physician and follow up for resident appointments.
This deficient practice could affect residents with a change in condition and place them at risk of a delay in
medical intervention, pain, and decline in health.
The findings were:
Record review of Resident #45's face sheet, dated 11/06/23, revealed Resident #45 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of diffuse traumatic brain injury with LOC of unspecified duration (a brain
injury that affects multiple areas of the brain. It is caused by the shearing of the brain's long connecting
nerve fibers (axons) when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull due to a violent blow or jolt. It can lead to
coma and impairment of various brain functions. Loss of consciousness occurred for an unknown amount
of time), cerebral infarction ( blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or reduced. This prevents brain
tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes), hypertension secondary to
other renal (kidney) disorders, anxiety disorder, depression, and hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction
obstruction (part of the kidney that normally drains urine becomes blocked).
Record review of Resident #45's discharge- return anticipated MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #45's
cognition for daily decision making was severely impaired-never/rarely made decisions.
Record review of Resident #45's care plan last updated 2/5/24 revealed a problem showing Resident #45
was known to exhibit aggressive behaviors during ADL care with approach to address the resident with a
calm voice, allow opportunity to make choices and participate in care, address by his name, explain in
simple steps the care provided, monitor for contributing factors of irritation/aggression during care, and
monitor for signs and symptoms of infection that could contribute to behaviors and follow up with MD as
needed.

Review of Resident #45's hospital documents from 09/14/23 to 03/22/24 showed he been hospitalized 15
times for issues with his nephrostomy. Hospital records show he was diagnosed with hydronephrosis
(swelling of one or both kidneys due to a blockage that stops urine form flowing out the body. A common
cause is kidney stones). Hospital records advised the resident to follow up with a specialist for surgery to
remove a kidney stone. The stone was documented as 1 cm on 9/14/23 and 2.6 cm on 1/25/24 with a note
that stated Please note that this is the sixth time the nephrostomy tube has been required replacement
since initial placement in August 2023. Long-term percutaneous drainage is not feasible for this patient.
Recommend urology consult for removal of the obstructing stone from the proximal ureter as the patient
would likely no longer need percutaneous drainage once the obstruction is relieved.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 5/23/24 at 10:51 a.m. LVN A provided wound care to Resident #45's nephrostomy
site and was assisted by CNA B. Resident #45 was laying on his left side. LVN A removed the bandage
which covered the nephrostomy site/tube insertion into his lower back, or cleaned/dried the area with
gauze, Resident #45, moaned, shouted, and kicked over the tray of supplies on the bed. Resident #45 kept
moaning and grabbed CNA B as LVN A placed a new bandage over the site. LVN A held the resident's arm
as she placed the bandage over the nephrostomy site. After the care was complete Resident #45 laid on
his bed calmly. All previous and subsequent observations of the resident were of him laying calmly in a Geri
chair with his eyes closed.
During an interview on 5/24/24 at 10:12 a.m. LVN A stated the resident would normally react the same way
he did during care the previous day off and on throughout the day. LVN A stated his behavior was random
and had nothing to do with being in pain during care. LVN A stated she could tell if Resident #45 was in
pain because of facial grimacing or he could tell you where his pain was.
During an interview on 5/23/24 at 6:11 p.m. the DON stated Resident #45 did have kidney stone and stated
the hospital was supposed to perform the surgery to remove the stone. The DON stated there was an
insurance issue with the selected primary care provider (PCP) on his primary insurance was not the
medical director of the facility and the resident had not established care with the selected PCP listed on his
primary insurance. The DON stated she sent the resident's friend to the listed PCP to obtain a signed
referral for surgery, but the friend was told the PCP would not sign it because he had not seen the resident.
The DON stated she needed to call the insurance but had not had time because she was busy with
something else for over a month and could not have her floor nurses sitting on the phone. The DON stated
the resident had standing orders for pain medication and no one had ever informed her that he seemed to
be in pain during care.
During an interview on 5/24/24 at 3:34 p.m. Resident #45's friend stated Resident #45 had the
nephrostomy tube since June 2023. She stated they have wanted to remove the stone since he got the tube
placed, they just needed a specialist to say it needed to be removed first. She stated the DON told her she
needs a reference number from [the insurance] company for her to get him seen by a specialist and
possibly a notarized medical power of attorney so she can talk to the insurance company because the
facility could not talk to the insurance company. The friend stated she had no plans to legally marry the
resident due to personal reasons. The friend stated she hoped after the kidney stone was removed and the
nephrostomy tube was removed the resident would be able to be taken off all the psychiatric medications
that were making him heavily medicated.
During an interview on 5/24/24 at 4:03 p.m. the BOM stated they had a copy of Resident 45's private

During a follow up interview on 5/25/24 at 12:15 p.m. the DON stated she received a call on 4/04/24, from
the hospital about surgery to remove Resident #45's kidney stone. The DON stated the surgery was
scheduled for April 9th and she was given a deadline of April 5th by the hospital to get a signed referral
from the PCP listed on the insurance. The DON stated she asked Resident #45's friend who was like his
family member but not legally his family to call the insurance and change his PCP. The DON stated they
missed the deadline, and the surgery was canceled. The DON stated she personally had not spoken with
the insurance company or done anything to follow up on the referral or if the friend changed the PCP
because again, she was busy until a few days before with something else. The DON stated the previous

resident came from if pages are missing from the packet. For example: If the paperwork reads page 1 of 50
and only pages 1 through 42 are in the patient discharge paperwork, MDS and ADON will call to get the
missing paperwork from the hospital. MDS Nurse and ADON will review discharge orders for any follow up
appointments/outpatient procedures If the referral/discharge paperwork is sent via fax to the business
office, the BOM or the Dietary Manager will be in charge of handing that paperwork to the MDS Nurse or
ADON, if a physician's office calls the facility and the charge nurse/CNA/BOM/Dietary
manager/administrator answer the phone, they are to call the MDS or ADON to take the call. Weekend
charge nurses and CNAs will take a message with the call back number and then call the MDS/ADON so
they could follow up with the appointments needed on Monday. **** if telephone orders are written by the
NP or Physician the charge nurse will be responsible for getting the referral signed and completed and will
need to be given to the MDS/ADON, for the follow-up and scheduling appointments for residents. The BOM
will be in charge of making sure insurance cards are accurate and up to date, and if a resident is not
self-responsible, the BOM will help the resident get guardianship/POA/DPA. MDS Nurse and ADON will
know the process for identifying residents that require appointments and/or outpatient medical procedures,
by being educated and trained during an in-service, the in-service will specify the importance of follow-up
appointments and the MDS Nurse and ADON will also be introduced to the new log form and the binder
and color of binder (GREEN) that the log will be placed in. The binder will be located in the MDS Nurse's
office. All Nursing staff (Nurses and CNAs) will be in-service with our new process to ensure residents can
be scheduled for any appointments/outpatient procedures. BOM, Dietary Manager, and the Administrator
have all been in-serviced in our new process and are aware of the role that they play in our new process.
The DON will monitor this system Monday through Friday. The administrator will be responsible for the
oversight of the log, weekly (every Friday) All aspects of this process will be implemented and completed by
today, Sunday, May 26, 2024. The charts have all been reviewed and completed(assessed all resident and
identified any additional residents that may have been at risk) as of today, Sunday, May 26th 2024. The
MDS/ADON will be in charge of the log. The director of nursing provided the staff in-service and will
in-service all new hires moving forward.
The surveyor verification of the Plan of Removal on 5/27/24 was as follows:
Interviews with the MDS Nurse and ADON were conducted on 5/27/24.
During an interview on 05/27/24 02:26 PM the ADON, was given the in service by the DON and MDS
nurse. She will be in charge of phone calls regarding appointment reminders and paperwork from
admission and readmits needs to be directed to MDS Nurse, DON, and herself and they make sure it gets
done so there was an extra set of eyes, from her understanding they were all working together, she was in
charge of making appointments and referrals, and if she was not available, staff can let MDS Nurse and
DON know. They could contact her and she would make note of it but generally she was there on
weekends. She stated herself the MDS Nurse, and DON are responsible. The ADON stated she would go
through all the hospital paperwork, and made sure everything was transcribed correctly and made sure it's
done correctly. The DON would go over to verify and they make sure it was in the logbook. They would
communicate all the time. She stated, the MDS Nurse, or DON would add appointments to the logbook to
include scheduled appointments and pending referrals for appointments.
Interview on 5/27/24 at 2:25 PM with the MDS Nurse, revealed she verbalized an understanding of the new
process in place to ensure the Res' attended or were scheduled for appointments; obtain referrals as
needed. She stated her responsibility would be to follow up with any requests for appointments over the
weekend. During the week she would ensure charge nurses were following through with referrals they
received during shift.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
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 a resident with pressure ulcers
received necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote
healing, prevent infection and prevent new ulcers from developing for 1 of 5 Residents (Resident #7)
reviewed for skin integrity.
Residents Affected - Few
LVN H failed to use adequate hand hygiene during wound care; failed to clarify the order for wound care
and failed to follow the order provided by Hospice services for Resident #7's wound on her left great toe.
These deficient practices could affect residents who required pressure ulcer treatment and contribute to
wounds becoming infected preventing the wounds from healing.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #7's face sheet, undated, revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including Congestive Heart Failure (long-term condition that happens when your heart cannot
pump blood well enough to give your body a normal supply), Hypertension (high blood pressure) and
Arthritis (joint disorder).
Review of Resident #7's annual MDS assessment, dated 3/6/24, revealed Resident #7's BIMS was 5 out of
15 indicating severe cognitive impairment; was dependent on 1 staff for all ADL's; was receiving oxygen
therapy and Hospice services. Further review revealed Resident #7 had a stage 1 or greater, over a scar
over bony prominence, or a non-removable dressing/device.
Review of weekly skin sheets dated 4/23/24, 4/30/24 and 5/7/24 revealed Resident #7 had a black scab to
left great toe.
Review of weekly skin sheets dated 5/14/24 and 5/21/24 revealed treatment to left great toe and heels.
Further review revealed the affected areas on the left foot and heels were not measured and or described.
Review of a Hospice nurse progress note dated, 5/21/24, reflected Resident #7 had a Stage 2 pressure
ulcer on her left great toe. Further review revealed orders for wound care; cleanse with NS/wound cleanser,
pat dry with gauze and apply skin prep.
Review of Resident #7's chart revealed a telephone order, dated 5/16/24 which read: apply skin prep to left
great toe. Start ABT to R great toe, Bactrim ds 1 tablet PO BID x 14 days.
Review of Resident #7's consolidated physician orders for May 2024 revealed an order dated 4/10/24,
which read: Left heel DTI,, cleanse left great toe with NS or wound cleanser, apply skin prep LOTA QD.
Further review did not provide instructions to treat the reddened raised areas on the left foot and heel.
Observation on 05/22/24 at 10:26 AM revealed LVN H brought in a basket with 4-5 packages of skin prep in
it. LVN H washed her hands, put clean gloves on both hands, touched the top of Resident #7's linens with
her gloves on, and let the Resident know she was going to do wound care. LVN H unfastened

the offloading boot on Resident #7's left foot, opened 1 package of skin prep, lifted the residents left foot,
wiped the heal of her left foot with the skin prep, she did not cleanse the area prior with gauze and normal
saline. LVN H then opened another package of skin prep and wiped the resident's lateral (outer) side of her
left foot. The area had an approximately 0.5 cm raised red bump with a yellow center. LVN H did not
cleanse the site with gauze and normal saline prior to applying the skin prep. LVN H opened another
package of skin prep and wiped the medial (inner) side of the resident's foot. The area had an
approximately 0.5 cm red bump with a yellow center. No gauze was used with normal saline was used to
cleanse the site prior. LVN H then used another package of skin prep to wipe the resident's left great toe.
LVN H H did not cleanse the area prior with gauze and normal saline. LVN H did not change her gloves
during the wound care or perform hand hygiene when moving from one site to the next. Resident #7's left
great toe was black with eschar (dark, crusty tissue that covers a wound, often seen with pressure ulcers)
on the tip. The rest of the toe appeared swollen with reddened edges.
Interview on 05/22/24 at 11 AM with LVN H revealed she followed the telephone order, dated 5/16/24, in
Resident #7's medical record. She stated she did not change gloves, sanitize her hands or wash her hands
in between opening the packages of skin prep and before applying skin prep to the heel on the left foot, the
left side of the foot and to the left great toe, . She stated she did not believe she had to because she was
only applying skin prep. She stated she did not think about the fact she touched Resident #7's linens or that
she unfastened the prevalent boot on the Resident's left foot. LVN stated she should have changed her
gloves and washed her hands before starting wound care. She stated Resident #7's great toe was infected
and was receiving Bactrim (antibiotic) twice daily. She stated it was necessary to wash her hands prior to
beginning wound care so she did not contaminate the wounds on her left foot.
Interview on 5/23/24 at 9:35 AM with LVN H revealed Resident #7 was diagnosed with a DTI and not a
pressure ulcer. She stated she started applying skin prep and administering Bactrim when Resident #7's
left great toe became infected. She stated she signed off on the TAR when she provided treatment She
stated she did not measure the wound on the left great toe and stated the areas on the left foot and heal
were reddened areas.
Interview on 5/25/245 at 11:47 AM with the DON revealed nursing staff follow standard practice when
providing wound care. A wound should always be cleansed prior to treating the wound. The DON stated
LVN H should know this fact and should have called Resident #7's physician for clarification on the order. In
addition, she was responsible for talking to the Hospice nurse and reading the notes to ensure she
obtained accurate orders for wound care. The DON stated LVN H should also be conducting weekly skin
checks; measuring the wound and describing the types of wounds identified to track whether or not the
wounds were healing.
Interview on 05/27/24 at 11:00 AM with the DON revealed LVN H should have changed her gloves after she
touched the linens and before starting wound care on Resident #7's left foot. She stated LVN H should have
opened up the skin prep beforehand and it would have made it easier. The DON stated because LVN H
applied skin prep to different areas of Resident #7's foot, LVN H should have changed gloves and washed
her hands after applying the skin prep to each affected area. She stated Resident #7's left great toe was
infected and it was highly probable that LVN H would spread the infection because she did not wash or
change her gloves in between treating the different sites.

observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs respiratory
care was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 1 Resident
(Resident #7) whose record was reviewed for oxygen therapy.
Residents Affected - Few
Nursing staff failed to clean Resident #7's filter on the oxygen concentrator; it had a layer of lint covering the
entire outside of the filter.
This deficient practice could affect residents receiving oxygen therapy and could contribute to an upper
respiratory infection and a resident's decline in physical health.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #7's face sheet, undated, revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including Congestive Heart Failure (long-term condition that happens when your heart can ' t
pump blood well enough to give your body a normal supply), Hypertension (high blood pressure) and

therapy and Hospice services.
Review of Resident #7's Care Plan, dated 3/21/22, revealed it did not provide any interventions for the use
of oxygen therapy.
Review of Resident #7's consolidated physician orders, dated May 2024, read: monitor placement of 02 of
NC to receive 02 @ 2L, monitor 02 SATS Q shift. Further review revealed there were no instructions for the
care of the oxygen concentrator.
Observation on 05/21/24 at 10:21 AM revealed Resident #7 lying in bed asleep with glasses on. Resident
#7 was receiving O2 via nasal cannula infusing at 3 liters. The filter on the oxygen concentrator was
completely white/covered with lint.
Observation and interview on 05/22/24 at 09:50 AM revealed Resident #7 lying in bed receiving 02 via
nasal cannula infusing at 3 liters. Interview with LVN H revealed, during rounds, she checked Resident #7
had the nasal cannula on because she had a tendency to remove it. She stated she would change the
bottle when it ran out of liquid and thought the oxygen filters were cleaned on Sunday's but was not sure.
She stated she had not cleaned a filter and did not know how to clean it. She stated she did not check the
filter during her rounds. LVN H removed the filter from the oxygen concentrator and stated the outside was
white; covered with lint. She stated it was not clean, full of lint and Resident #7 was inhaling it. LVN H stated

check residents blood glucose levels. One meter had a serial number ending in 0571 and the 2nd one
0497. The log on the cart for the glucose record did not match the serial numbers on the glucometers in the
C hall cart.
During an interview and observation on 05/24/24 at 11:47 a.m. LVN H stated the night shift would calibrate
the glucometers and document them on the log. LVN H stated she used both glucometers in the C hall cart

to place solution on the strip. The meter read ERROR. LVN H stated the meter 0497 was not working. LVN
H then placed a drop of the control solution on the bottle top and obtained a reading for the low and high
solution for the 2nd meter-0497. LVN H stated if she was not aware of what meter was being calibrated and
used one that was broken, she should get a glucose reading that was inaccurate and administer the
incorrect amount of insulin to a resident and possibly cause hypoglycemia (low blood glucose).
During an interview on 5/25/24 at 5:16 p.m. the DON stated night shift completed the logs for the
glucometers and the log should match the meter that is on the cart. The DON stated the meters were
calibrated to make sure they obtained an accurate readings of the residents' glucose and residents

nerve fibers (axons) when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull due to a violent blow or jolt. It can lead to
coma and impairment of various brain functions. Loss of consciousness occurred for an unknown amount
of time), cerebral infarction (blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or reduced. This prevents brain
tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes), hypertension secondary to
other renal disorders, anxiety disorder, depression, and hydronephrosis with ureteropelvic junction
obstruction (part of the kidney that normally drains urine becomes blocked).
Record review of Resident #45's discharge-return anticipated MDS assessment, dated 3/23/24, revealed
Resident #45's cognition for daily decision making was severely impaired-never/rarely made decisions.
Record review of Resident #45's care plan last updated 2/5/24 revealed a problem showing Resident #45
