During an interview on [DATE] at 3:47 PM, Resident #16 verified he had signed the DNR.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:46 AM, the DON stated Resident #16 should have been coded as a
DNR. The DON stated the social worker would have been responsible for taking care of the DNR and she
no longer worked at the facility, so it would fall on nursing staff now. The DON stated the process was for
the social worker to talk to the resident and have them fill out a request and sign it.
Residents Affected - Few
The social worker would then give the form to the DON and the DON would reveal it to the family and get
the physician order. The DON stated the importance of having the correct code status was so the facility
could honor the residents wishes and staff could follow through with their wishes. The DON stated Resident
#16 was admitted to the facility already on hospice services from the hospital and the admitting nurse
would have been responsible for putting in the hospice order. The DON stated she was responsible for
auditing the code statuses on charts monthly and during care plan meetings. The DON stated there was no
DNR in Resident #16's folder, so she did not know Resident #16 was a DNR.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:43 PM, the ADM stated he expected residents to have the correct code
status on their charts. The ADM stated the importance of the correct code status was to follow the patient's
wishes and measures adequately.
Record review of the facilities policy on Do Not Resuscitate Order, last revised on [DATE], indicated . the
DNR order takes effect at the time the order is issued, provided the order is placed in the patient's medical
record as soon as practicable .

and complete quarterly reviews on the MDS. The DON stated she does not know why Resident #16 was
marked to have an ostomy, unless the MDS nurse marked the wrong line. The DON stated the importance
of having the MDS coded correctly was so it would provide an accurate picture of the resident's care. The
DON stated if the MDS was not coded accurately then inaccurate care could have been provided to
Resident #16.
During an interview on 09/20/23 at 1:43 PM, the ADM stated he expected the MDS to be correct. The ADM
stated the importance of the MDS was to make sure the facility was transmitting to CMS accurately.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**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 is incontinent of
bladder received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections for 1 (Resident #9)
of 15 residents reviewed for urinary incontinence.
The facility failed to provide timely treatment of Resident #9's Urinary Tract Infection.
This failure could place residents with Urinary Tract Infections at increased risk of not receiving appropriate
treatment, which could result in severe illness or hospitalization.

antibiotic or treatment for UTI.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 11:40 AM, the DON said she would check the IPAD to see if the UA and
C&S result was sent to the NP or MD. She looked at the facility IPAD and the communication on the IPAD.
She said the lab should have been sent to the NP and/or MD on 9/8/23 or 9/9/23 and it was not, according
to her checking the messages on the IPAD. She said she was going to call the nurse for Resident #9 that
day and see if she called the MD.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 11:44 AM, the DON and Regional Nurse said they did not see any orders
for an antibiotic for Resident #9 or any treatment for her for her UTI (positive UA on 9/8/23) in her orders.
The DON said it did not appear she was being treated for her UTI.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 11:56 AM, Resident #9 said she felt fine. She said felt pretty good today
and had no pain, and no pain with urination. She said her urine had a bad smell to it.
During an interview and record review on 9/19/23 at 12:48 PM, the DON showed this surveyor the order for
Resident #9's UA/CS. She showed this surveyor it was dated 9/6/23 and put in by NP for PPHP (Provider
Partner's Health Plan). She said PPHP was a managed care that provided a RN and NP. She the NP put in
the order for the UA and C&S for Resident #9 on 9/6/23. She said she called the NP while ago and the NP
said a nurse told her the UA and C&S was negative for Resident #9. She said the labs were received in the
facility 9/8/23 and were received by LVN B. She said LVN B told her she did not remember calling the NP.
She said the failure or breakdown was when the results were received, they were not given to the NP. She
said normally the nurse would let the NP for PPHP and the facility NP know of the results.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 12:51 PM, the Regional Nurse said Resident #9 was not treated for her
UTI because the physician or NP were not notified of the positive results. She said that was a problem. She
said the NP or the MD should have been notified of Resident #9's positive labs.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 1:08 PM, LVN B said Resident #9 had a UA and C&S. She said she did
not remember why that lab was ordered but she thought maybe because Resident #9 complained of
itching. She said the NP for PPHP wrote an order for UA and C&S on 9/6/23. She said the ADON told her
she gave her the results of the UA and C&S on 9/8/23, but said she did not remember receiving it. She said
LVN A told her a UA and C&S were pending for Resident #9 on 9/8/23. She said somehow she did not call
the NP with the results but did not know why. She said she would always send a picture of the lab on the
facility IPAD but she must not have called the NP or sent the results to the NP on the IPAD. She said their
process was when they received a critical lab they would immediately call the NP. She said if it was not a
critical lab, she would send a picture of the lab result on the IPAD to the NP. She said if she did not get a
response, she would call the NP. She said the nurse that receives the lab back with the results was
responsible for notifying the NP or MD and that day (9/8/23) it was her. She said not notifying the NP or MD
could result in Resident #9 getting a more serious UTI or getting septic (infected with microorgamisms).
She said she did not know if anyone checked behind her to make sure she did completed notifying the NP
and receiving new orders.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 1:34 PM, the ADON said she was just now aware that Resident #9's

UTI had not been treated and the NP had not been notified. She said the UTI should have been called in to
the NP on 9/8/23 because it was a positive lab. She said she printed labs every morning from the day
before and gave them to the nurses to make sure all nurses had them, so they were not missed. She said
she gave LVN B the initial UA that showed positive for bacteria, the initial UA result that comes before the
C&S. She said at that point she expected the nurse to call the NP (for PPHP) or send pictures of the lab on
the telehealth (the IPAD) to her.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 2:26 PM, the ADON said the person responsible to make sure the labs
were called into NP/MD was the nurse that received the result. She said she and the DON will double check
at times, usually monthly, but nothing was documented. She said Resident #9's positive UA was missed
because the nurse did not notify the NP/MD. The ADON said evidently the process did not work, so she
would do a lab log, and she would start that now because the process they were using did not work. She
said if nurses were not working on the floor, they had morning meeting and they discussed the 24- hour
report. She said the UA was back on 9/8/23 for Resident #9. She said the 24-hour report for 9/9/23 and
9/10/23 indicated the UA was pending and that was not correct. She said the night nurses usually updated
the 24-hour report. She said LVN B should have updated the 24-hour report to indicate the UA for Resident
#9 was back and it was positive. She said Resident #9 not getting the treatment she needed could result in
confusion, sepsis, or altered mental status. She said without surveyor intervention Resident #9 could have
gotten really sick. The ADON said Resident #9 started an antibiotic for her UTI today.
Record review of the 24-hour reports indicated:
9/6/23 Resident #9 needs UA/C&S
9/7/23 Resident #9 sending UA/C&S results
9/8/23 Resident #9 pending UA/C&S results
9/9/23 Resident #9 pending UA/C&S results
9/10/23 Resident #9 pending UA/C&S results
Record review of the physician's orders for Resident #9 dated 9/19/23 at 12:15 PM indicated:
Amoxicillin-Pot Clavulanate Tablet 875-125 mg. Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for bacterial infection
for 7 days.
Record review of the progress notes for Resident #9 dated 9/19/23 at 12:35 PM indicated:
Initial dose of Augmentin 875 and probiotic was given po (by mouth) for an active UTI without any adverse
reaction to medication at this time. Resident was encouraged to drink more water . This note was signed by
LVN B.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 2:43 PM, the DON said they did not have a lab policy.
During an interview and record review on 9/19/23 at 2:49 PM, the ADON showed this surveyor a Plan of
Action lab log that she was in-servicing the staff on. The in-service indicated to enter each lab ordered and
information, then check daily for follow-up.

During an interview on 9/19/23 at 3:17 PM, LVN B came into the work room visibly upset and crying. She
said she had apologized to Resident #9 for not letting the NP know she needed treatment and said she felt
terrible for it. She said Resident #9 was on antibiotics now.
During an interview and record review on 9/19/23 at 3:23 PM, the ADON provided another in-service that
indicated: Check doctors labs multiple times during shift to print and send to MD/NP. make sure to
document labs that need follow up on 24-hour report. make sure to check 24-hour report for labs that need
follow-up.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 7:30 AM, the DON said regarding Resident #9 or labs in general, her
expectations were that all nurses had access to the lab results. She said in the morning meeting she and
the ADON provided the nurses with results from the prior day of the labs. She said on the weekend the
weekend supervisor looks at the labs and the DON, ADON, or the Treatment Nurse was present on the
weekend to give out the lab results. She said that was when staff went over the 24-hour report. She said on
9/8/23 the ADON gave the results of Resident #9's UA/C&S to LVN B and expected her to notify the NP.
She said ultimately she was responsible for everything that happened in the building. She said she should
have double checked to make sure it was done. She said she would be overseeing labs from now on
instead of the ADON doing it. She said the ADON was double checking that labs and making sure
antibiotics were put in if needed. She said the ADON worked the floor 3 out of 5 days and the week that
happened it was not a good week. She said the ADON did not document that she double checked the labs
and results. She said the 24-hour report continued to indicate on 9/9/23 and 9/10/23 kept indicating labs
were pending when labs were already back. She said 9/9/23 and 9/10/23 was the weekend and none of the
nurses looked in the website to see if the lab had resulted. She said the ball dropped when LVN B did not
indicate the UA positive for Resident #9 on the 24-hour report. She said, or the ball could have dropped if
the ADON never printed out the positive UA lab for Resident #9 and gave it to LVN B. She said she was not
sure what really happened. She said the process they were using failed regarding Resident #9's labs. She
said their process had been working until now and then it failed. She said the risks of Resident #9 not being
treated for her UTI were her infection worsening, sepsis, and other health conditions. She said they had not
had a problem like this before since she had been here (January 2023). She said the current lab process
could affect every resident. She said they were currently doing in-services regarding improvement in lab
processes. She said she started a lab log for nurses to check, and she will be responsible for making sure
that was done. She said the night nurses were responsible for updating the 24-hour report and they will be
in-serviced regarding verifying labs were back and anything on the 24-hour report that has been done
documented on the 24-hour report.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 7:57 AM, the ADON said she had in-serviced the night staff by phone on
the new lab logs and making sure the 24-hour report was correct. She said she instructed them how to log
into the lab website, even though they already knew how. The ADON said the lab log should prevent
missing another lab. She said she will get with the RN weekend supervisor and in-service her.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 10:50 AM, the ADM said the charge nurse, for that resident was
responsible for making sure the NP/MD was called with the lab results. He said in the case of Resident #9 it
was LVN B. He said the ADON was supposed to follow up to make sure it had been completed. He said in
the case of Resident #9 the charge nurse did not notify the NP/MD and the ADON apparently did not follow
up to make sure it was completed. He said somehow it had fallen through the cracks during the morning
meetings in that it was not discussed on 9/8/23. The administrator said Resident #9 could have gotten
sepsis. He said his expectation was that the Charge Nurse would notify the NP/MD

with the results of a positive lab once the lab was received. He said the NP should have been notified on
9/8/23 of Resident #9's positive UA/CS. He said this mistake could affect any resident that had labs drawn.
During a phone interview on 9/20/23 at 1:16 PM, the NP for PPHP said she was not notified until 9/19/23
that Resident #9's UA/CS was positive. She said Resident #9 was new to PPHP services as of 9/1/23. She
said PPHP was an extra set of eyes. She said she saw her for the first time on 9/5/23 and said she could
not really remember, but Resident #9 must have told her she had signs or symptoms of a UTI because she
ordered a UA and C&S. She said she saw Resident #9 in the facility again on 9/11/23 and a nurse
(unknown who) told her the UA and was negative. She said the C&S would not have been back yet
because it took a few days. She said she did not know who the nurse was that told her the UA was
negative. She said she was not notified until 9/19/23 that the UA and C&S was positive. She said she called
in an antibiotic for Resident #9 on 9/19/23. She said the lab results were usually put in the Primary Care
Folder and she asked for it on 9/11/23 and on 9/15/23 but was told both times no one knew where the
results were. She said not getting the results of a positive UA or C&S timely could be a problem in that the
resident could get sepsis, altered mental status, and a lot of other things.
A Physician's Orders Policy provided by the DON on 9/19/23 indicated:
Purpose: To monitor and ensure the accuracy and completeness of the medication orders, treatment
orders, and ADL order for each resident.
.4.The receiving nurse will contact any other department or external facilities as required .
The policy did not address notifying the MD/NP of lab values.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
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 medication error rate of less than 5
percent. There were 4 errors out of 33 opportunities, resulting in an 12% percent medication error involving
2 of 4 residents reviewed for medication administration (Residents #11and #36).
Residents Affected - Few
MA A failed to verify the dose of eye drops to be administered and administered an inaccurate dose of 2
(two) drops instead of the ordered 1 (one) drop of Dorzolamide/Timolol eye drop solution (used to treat
glaucoma by reducing pressure in the eye) to Resident # 36's right eye.
MA A failed to administer 3 (three) scheduled medications including Isosorbide (used to prevent chest pain
in patients with heart disease), Metformin (used to treat and manage high blood sugar levels), and Latuda
(used to treat depression (a mental illness) to Resident #11 as ordered by the physician.
These failures could place residents at risk for inaccurate drug administration resulting in a decline in health
and decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Resident #11
Record review of the face sheet dated 09/19/2023 indicated Resident #11 was a [AGE] year-old male who
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included hypertension (elevated/high blood pressure),
diabetes mellitus type 2 (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), and major
depression (a mental illness that involves a depressed mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities for a
long period of time.)
During observation and interview on 09/19/2023 at 08:32 AM, MA A administered medications to Resident
#11. Prior to administering any medications, MA A checked Resident #11's blood pressure (BP) and pulse
(P). The BP was 138/79 and the P was 64. MA A administered medications including Acidophilus,
omeprazole, gabapentin, ariprazole, glipizide, furosemide, metoprolol, lisinopril, and potassium.
Record review of the physician orders dated for September 2023 indicated Resident #11 was also to
receive the following 3 (three) medications in the AM (6:30-10:30 AM) daily:
isosorbide mononitrate ER (extended release) 30mg daily to help treat high blood pressure,
metformin 500 mg 2 (two) times daily to treat diabetes, and
Latuda 160 mg (2 tablets of 80 mg to equal 160 mg) 2 (two) times daily to treat major depression.
These three medications were not administered during the observed medication pass at 08:32 on
09/19/2023.
During an interview of MA A said she did not give Resident #11 his isosorbide, metformin, nor Latuda
because they were not available. She said she had ordered the metformin and isosorbide that morning
(09/19/2023) and said the Latuda had been ordered on 09/13/2023. MA A said she should tell the

charge nurse when a medication was not available for administration and the charge nurse could see if the
medication(s) needed were in the facility's emergency drug container (ER box). When asked, MA A said
she had not told the charge nurse that she did not have the medications. MA A was then observed to tell
the charge nurse what medications were needed.
During an interview on 09/19/2023 at 11:50 AM, the ADON said Resident #11's metformin and isosorbide
medications had been retrieved from the facility's emergency drug container and had been given to the
resident. She also said the Latuda medication had been delivered on 09/13/2023 and had been found in
another resident's section of the medication cart and the resident had been given this medication also.
During an interview on 09/20/2023 at 12:45 PM, the DON said the MA should have asked the charge nurse
to see if the missing medications were available in the facility's emergency drug container. The DON said
she had in-serviced MA A on this process.
Resident #36
Record review of the face sheet dated 09/19/2023 indicated Resident #36 was a [AGE] year-old female
who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included dementia and glaucoma (damage to the eye
caused by increased pressure in the eye) of the right and left eyes.
During observation and interview on 09/19/2023 at 08/15 AM, MA A place 2 drops of Dorzolamide/Timolol
eye solution into Resident #36's right eye. MA A then brought the bottle containing the eye drop solution
back to the cart and placed it in the package it came in. MA A looked at the prescribing information on the
package and said she thought the resident was supposed to get 2 drops but she was supposed to get one
drop. MA A then said she would tell the DON about the mistake.
Record review of the physician's orders dated for September 2023 indicated Resident #36 was to receive 1
(one) drop of Dorzolamide/Timolol 22.3-6.8 mg per milliliter solution in the right eye 2 (two) times daily.
During an interview with the DON at 12:45 PM on 09/19/2023, the DON said the doctor had been notified
about the Resident #36 receiving the wrong dose of eye medication and a medication error report had been
initiated. DON said she had in-serviced the Med A on administration of the right dose of medications.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review facility failed to promptly notify the physician of laboratory results 1 of 15
residents reviewed for laboratory services (Resident #9).
The facility did not notify Resident #9's physician about the results of her urinalysis.
This failure could place residents with infections at risk of a delay in medical evaluation and treatment.
Findings included:
Record review of the undated face sheet indicated Resident #9 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE].
Record review of the physician's orders dated 9/19/23 indicated Resident #9 had with diagnoses that
included: Diabetes Mellitus 2 (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes sugar, the body
either does not produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin), Urinary Tract Infection (an infection in the
urinary system, kidneys, bladder, or urethra), quadriplegia (a symptom of paralysis that affects a person's
limbs and body from the neck down), dementia (impairment in memory and judgement). The physician's
orders did not indicate she was on antibiotic or treatment for a UTI. The physician's orders indicated:
9/6/23 May have UA with C&S one time only for burning/odor with urination
Record review of the admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #9 had clear speech, was
understood by others, and understood others. Her BIMS score was 15 indicating she was cognitively intact.
Resident #9 required the extensive assistance of two or more staff for bed mobility and transfer, and the

Record review on 9/19/23 at 11:39 AM, of the physician's orders for Resident #9 indicated no new antibiotic
or treatment for UTI.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 11:40 AM, the DON said she would check the IPAD (a computer tablet) to
see if the UA and C&S result was sent to the NP or MD. She looked at the facility IPAD and the
communication on the IPAD. She said the lab should have been sent to the NP and/or MD on 9/8/23 or
9/9/23 and it was not, according to her checking the messages on the IPAD. She said she was going to call
the nurse for Resident #9 that day and see if she called the MD.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 11:44 AM, the DON and Regional Nurse said they did not see any orders
for an antibiotic for Resident #9 or any treatment for her for her UTI (positive UA on 9/8/23) in her orders.
The DON said it did not appear she was being treated for her UTI.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 11:56 AM, Resident #9 said she felt fine. She said she felt pretty good
today and had no pain, and no pain with urination. She said her urine had a bad smell to it.
During an interview and record review on 9/19/23 at 12:48 PM, the DON showed this surveyor the order for
Resident #9's UA/CS. She showed this surveyor it was dated 9/6/23 and put in by NP for PPHP (Provider
Partner's Health Plan). She said PPHP was a managed care that provided a RN and NP. She said the NP
put in the order for the UA and C&S for Resident #9 on 9/6/23. She said she called the NP awhile ago and
the NP said a nurse told her the UA and C&S was negative for Resident #9. She said the labs were
received in the facility 9/8/23 and were received by LVN B. She said LVN B told her she did not remember
calling the NP. She said the failure or breakdown was when the results were received, they were not given
to the NP. She said normally the nurse would let the NP for PPHP and the facility NP know of the results.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 12:51 PM, the Regional Nurse said Resident #9 was not treated for her
UTI because the physician or NP were not notified of the positive results. She said that was a problem. She
said the NP or the MD should have been notified of Resident #9's positive labs.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 1:08 PM, LVN B said Resident #9 had a UA and C&S. She said she did
not remember why that lab was ordered but she thought maybe because Resident #9 complained of
itching. She said the NP for PPHP wrote an order for UA and C&S on 9/6/23. She said the ADON told her
she gave her the results of the UA and C&S on 9/8/23, but said she did not remember receiving it. She said
LVN A told her a UA and C&S were pending for Resident #9 on 9/8/23. She said somehow she did not call
the NP with the results but did not know why. She said she would always send a picture of the lab on the
facility IPAD but she must not have called the NP or sent the results to the NP on the IPAD. She said their
process was when they received a critical lab they would immediately call the NP. She said if it was not a
critical lab, she would send a picture of the lab result on the IPAD to the NP. She said if she did not get a
response, she would call the NP. She said the nurse that receives the lab back with the results was
responsible for notifying the NP or MD and that day (9/8/23) it was her. She said not notifying the NP or MD
could result in Resident #9 getting a more serious UTI or getting septic (infected with microorganisms). She
said she did not know if anyone checked behind her to make sure she did completed notifying the NP and
receiving new orders.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 1:34 PM, the ADON said she was just now aware that Resident #9's UTI
had not been treated and the NP had not been notified. She said the UTI should have been called

in to the NP on 9/8/23 because it was a positive lab. She said she printed labs every morning from the day
before and gave them to the nurses to make sure all nurses had them, so they were not missed. She said
she gave LVN B the initial UA that showed positive for bacteria, the initial UA result that comes before the
C&S. She said at that point she expected the nurse to call the NP (for PPHP) or send pictures of the lab on
the telehealth (the IPAD) to her.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 2:26 PM, the ADON said the person responsible to make sure the labs
were called into NP/MD was the nurse that received the result. She said she and the DON will double check
at times, usually monthly, but nothing was documented. She said Resident #9's positive UA was missed
because the nurse did not notify the NP/MD. The ADON said evidently the process did not work, so she
would do a lab log, and she would start that now because the process they were using did not work. She
said if nurses were not working on the floor, they had morning meeting and they discussed the 24- hour
report. She said the UA was back on 9/8/23 for Resident #9. She said the 24-hour report for 9/9/23 and
9/10/23 indicated the UA was pending and that was not correct. She said the night nurses usually updated
the 24-hour report. She said LVN B should have updated the 24-hour report to indicate the UA for Resident
#9 was back and it was positive. She said Resident #9 not getting the treatment she needed could result in
confusion, sepsis, or altered mental status. She said without surveyor intervention Resident #9 could have
gotten really sick. The ADON said Resident #9 started an antibiotic for her UTI today.
Record review of the 24-hour reports indicated:
9/6/23 Resident #9 needs UA/C&S
9/7/23 Resident #9 sending UA/C&S results
9/8/23 Resident #9 pending UA/C&S results
9/9/23 Resident #9 pending UA/C&S results
9/10/23 Resident #9 pending UA/C&S results
Record review of the physician's orders for Resident #9 dated 9/19/23 at 12:15 PM indicated:
Amoxicillin-Pot Clavulanate Tablet 875-125 mg. Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for bacterial infection
for 7 days.
Record review of the progress notes for Resident #9 dated 9/19/23 at 12:35 PM indicated:
Initial dose of Augmentin 875 and probiotic was given po (by mouth) for an active UTI without any adverse
reaction to medication at this time. Resident was encouraged to drink more water . This note was signed by
LVN B.
During an interview on 9/19/23 at 2:43 PM, the DON said they did not have a lab policy.
Record review on 9/19/23 at 2:49 PM, the ADON showed this surveyor a Plan of Action lab log that she
was in-servicing the staff on. The in-service indicated to enter each lab ordered and information, then check
daily for follow-up.

Record review on 9/19/23 at 3:23 PM, the ADON provided another in-service that indicated: Check doctors
labs multiple times during shift to print and send to MD/NP. make sure to document labs that need follow up
on 24-hour report. make sure to check 24-hour report for labs that need follow-up.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 7:30 AM, the DON said regarding Resident #9 or labs in general, her
expectations were that all nurses had access to the lab results. She said in the morning meeting she and
the ADON provided the nurses with results from the prior day of the labs. She said on the weekend the
weekend supervisor looks at the labs and the DON, ADON, or the Treatment Nurse was present on the
weekend to give out the lab results. She said that was when staff went over the 24-hour report. She said on
9/8/23 the ADON gave the results of Resident #9's UA/C&S to LVN B and expected her to notify the NP.
She said ultimately, she was responsible for everything that happened in the building. She said she should
have double checked to make sure it was done. She said she would be overseeing labs from now on
instead of the ADON doing it. She said the ADON was double checking that labs and making sure
antibiotics were put in if needed. She said the ADON worked the floor 3 out of 5 days and the week that
happened it was not a good week. She said the ADON did not document that she double checked the labs
and results. She said the 24-hour report continued to indicate on 9/9/23 and 9/10/23 kept indicating labs
were pending when labs were already back. She said 9/9/23 and 9/10/23 was the weekend and none of the
nurses looked in the website to see if the lab had resulted. She said the ball was dropped when LVN B did
not indicate the UA positive for Resident #9 on the 24-hour report. She said, or the ball could have dropped
if the ADON never printed out the positive UA lab for Resident #9 and gave it to LVN B. She said she was
not sure what really happened. She said the process they were using failed regarding Resident #9's labs.
She said their process had been working until now and then it failed. She said the risks of Resident #9 not
being treated for her UTI were her infection worsening, sepsis, and other health conditions. She said they
had not had a problem like this before since she had been here (January 2023). She said the current lab
process could affect every resident. She said they were currently doing in-services regarding improvement
in lab processes. She said she started a lab log for nurses to check, and she will be responsible for making
sure that was done. She said the night nurses were responsible for updating the 24-hour report and they
will be in-serviced regarding verifying labs were back and anything on the 24-hour report that has been
done documented on the 24-hour report.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 7:57 AM, the ADON said she had in-serviced the night staff by phone on
the new lab logs and making sure the 24-hour report was correct. She said she instructed them how to log
into the lab website, even though they already knew how. The ADON said the lab log should prevent
missing another lab. She said she will get with the RN weekend supervisor and in-service her.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 10:50 AM, the ADM said the charge nurse, for that resident was
responsible for making sure the NP/MD was called with the lab results. He said in the case of Resident #9 it
was LVN B. He said the ADON was supposed to follow up to make sure it had been completed. He said in
the case of Resident #9 the charge nurse did not notify the NP/MD and the ADON apparently did not follow
up to make sure it was completed. He said somehow it had fallen through the cracks during the morning
meetings in that it was not discussed on 9/8/23. The administrator said Resident #9 could have gotten
sepsis. He said his expectation was that the Charge Nurse would notify the NP/MD with the results of a
positive lab once the lab was received. He said the NP should have been notified on 9/8/23 of Resident
#9's positive UA/CS. He said this mistake could affect any resident that had labs drawn.
During a phone interview on 9/20/23 at 1:16 PM, the NP for PPHP said she was not notified until

9/19/23 that Resident #9's UA/CS was positive. She said Resident #9 was new to PPHP services as of
9/1/23. She said PPHP was an extra set of eyes. She said she saw her for the first time on 9/5/23 and said
she could not really remember, but Resident #9 must have told her she had signs or symptoms of a UTI
because she ordered a UA and C&S. She said she saw Resident #9 in the facility again on 9/11/23 and a
nurse (unknown who) told her the UA and was negative. She said the C&S would not have been back yet
because it took a few days. She said she did not know who the nurse was that told her the UA was
negative. She said she was not notified until 9/19/23 that the UA and C&S was positive. She said she called
in an antibiotic for Resident #9 on 9/19/23. She said the lab results were usually put in the Primary Care
Folder and she asked for it on 9/11/23 and on 9/15/23 but was told both times no one knew where the
results were. She said not getting the results of a positive UA or C&S timely could be a problem in that the
resident could get sepsis, altered mental status, and a lot of other things.
A Physician's Orders Policy provided by the DON on 9/19/23 indicated:
Purpose: To monitor and ensure the accuracy and completeness of the medication orders, treatment
orders, and ADL order for each resident.
.4.The receiving nurse will contact any other department or external facilities as required .
The policy did not address notifying the MD/NP of lab values.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve
food in accordance with professional standards for food safety in the facility's only kitchen.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure food items were dated and labeled.
These failures could place residents at risk for foodborne illness.
Findings include:
During an observation and interview with the Dietary Manager of the refrigerators on 09/18/2023 starting at
8:32 AM revealed 6 cartons of strawberries with no date, 3 cartons of mixed fruit with no label or date, a
white container labeled chili beans dated 9/10/23 and the Dietary Manager stated it was peanut butter and
jelly, and 1 bag of ham with no label or date.
During an interview on 09-19-23 at 12:13 PM, the Dietary Manager stated whoever puts away the food
items were responsible for dating and labeling the items. The Dietary Manager stated he was responsible
for checking the refrigerator and freezer daily and making sure the items were labeled and dated. The
Dietary Manger stated he does not work on the weekends, and it was his first day back and does not check
the freezer and refrigeration until 9:30 AM. The Dietary Manager stated he had not been able to check the
refrigerators and freezers prior to walk through. The Dietary Manger denied having a sign in sheet for
making sure items were labeled and dated and there were no other processes in place. The Dietary
Manager stated the importance of making sure items were labeled and dated was to make sure the food
was still good, and residents did not get sick.
During an interview on 09/20/23 at 1:43 PM, the ADM stated he expected kitchen items to be labeled and
dated. The ADM stated the importance of labeling and dating was to ensure food items were not expired
and they were the correct items. The ADM stated unlabeled items could cause adverse effects and cause
residents to have an upset stomach due to bacteria.
Record review of the facility's policy on Storage Refrigerators Storage, dated 2012, indicated . Food must
be covered when stored, with a date label identifying what is in the container .

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to collaborate with hospice representatives and coordinate the
hospice care planning process for each resident receiving hospice services, to ensure quality of care for the
resident, ensuring communication with the hospice medical director, the resident's attending physician, and
others participating in the provision of care for 2 of 3 residents (Resident #16 and Resident #28) reviewed
for hospice services.
The facility did not ensure Resident #16's hospice records were a part of their records in the facility.
The facility did not ensure Resident #28's hospice records were a part of their records in the facility.
The facility did not ensure Resident #16 had a physician order for hospice.
This deficient practice could place residents who receive hospice services at-risk of receiving inadequate
end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care and communication of resident needs.
The findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #16's face sheet, dated 09/19/2023, indicated Resident #16 was a [AGE]
year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included COPD (chronic
inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs), major depression (loss of interest
in activities) and osteoarthritis (flexible tissue at the end of bones wear down).
Record review of Resident #16's order summary report, dated 12/15/2021, did not indicate hospice
services.
Record review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident #16 understood others and made
himself understood. The assessment indicated Resident #16 was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15
which indicates intact cognition. Section O of the MDS indicated hospice care.
Record review of Resident #16's care plan, revised on 08/25/23, indicated Resident #16 had a terminal
prognosis COPD and was receiving hospice services. The interventions included to respect resident wishes
and to work cooperatively with the hospice team to ensure the residents spiritual, emotional, intellectual,
physical, and social needs were met.
Record review of Resident #16's hospice binder, accessed on 9/19/23 at 3:56 PM, revealed no updated
Plan of Care since 6/7/23 or updated nursing notes.
2. Record review of Resident #28's face sheet, dated 09/20/2023, indicated Resident #28 was a [AGE]
year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Alzheimer's (memory loss),
major depressive disorder (depressed mood) and contractures (fixed tightening of muscles, tendons, and
ligaments).

Record review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident #28 sometimes understood others
and rarely made himself understood. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #28 did not have a BIMS
score. Section O of the MDS indicated hospice care.
Record review of Resident #28's care plan, revised on 12/14/21, indicated Resident #28 required hospice
services related to senile degeneration of the brain (decreased ability to think, concentrate or remember).
The interventions included hospice staff to assist with resident care.
Record review of Resident #28's hospice binder, accessed on 9/19/23 at 4:00 PM, revealed no updated
Plan of Care since 7/15/23 or updated nursing notes since 6/6/23.
During an interview on 09/19/23 at 10:37 AM, the hospice secretary stated she sent out the updated plan of
care and skilled nursing visits with the nurse after each IDT meeting to update the resident folders. The
secretary stated Resident #16 had an IDT meeting last week and the nurse should have updated the folder
on 9/14/23 when she visited the facility.
During an attempted telephone interview on 09/19/23 at 10:37 AM to gather more information, the Hospice
nurse did not answer. No phone call was returned upon exit of the facility.
During an interview on 09/20/23 at 9:46 AM, the DON stated she was responsible for making sure hospice
was signing the folders that visits were being made. The DON stated she did not know she was responsible
for making sure they had the updated plan of care or nursing notes in the folder and she agreed that the
folder did not have the current information in it. The DON stated the importance of communication with
hospice was to keep all staff that was caring for the resident updated on care and for continuation of care.
During an interview on 9/20/23 at 1:43 PM, the ADM stated he expected hospice folders to be up to date.
The ADM stated the importance of having the folders up to date was to provide care related to the patient's
current condition.
Record review of the facility's policy on Hospice Services, revised 02/13/2007, revealed The DON or
designee will be responsible for ensuring that documentation is a part of the current clinical record. At a
minimum, the documentation will include Hospice Plan of Care
Current interdisciplinary notes to include nurses' notes/summaries, physician orders and progress notes,
and medications and treatment sheets during the hospice certification period .
