F 0644 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure individuals with mental health disorders were provided an accurate Preadmission Screening and Resident Review Level 1(PASRR) Screening for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for PASRR (Resident #48). The facility failed to ensure Resident #48 had an accurate PASRR Level 1 Screening indicating a diagnosis of mental illness on 06/30/2023. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving needed assessments (PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, and specialized services to meet their needs. Findings included: Record review of an undated face sheet indicated Resident #48 was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including anxiety, high blood pressure and diabetes. Record review of the admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated, Resident #48 had a BIMS score of 14 (fourteen) indicating no impaired cognition. The MDS section for PASRR (A1500) indicated Resident #48 did not have a serious mental illness. The MDS section, Active Diagnoses Psychiatric/Mood Disorder, indicated Resident #48 to have diagnoses of anxiety disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder. Record review of physician orders current as of 03/27/2024 indicated an order dated 10/29/2022 for Resident #36 to receive one (1) buspirone 15 mg tablet two times a day for anxiety and an order dated 07/19/2023 for one (1) fluoxetine 40 mg tablet for depression one time a day. Record review of the Comprehensive (admission) MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #48 was receiving antianxiety and antidepressant medications on a routine basis.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to implement a baseline care plan for each resident that included the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that meets professional standards of quality care for 2 of 3 residents (Residents # 216 and 218) reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to address, in Resident #216's baseline care plan, his indwelling urethral catheter (tube inserted through the urethra into the bladder and left there to drain the urine), his diagnoses of Acute Renal Failure (condition in which the kidneys suddenly cannot filter waste from the blood), Inflammatory Reaction Due to Indwelling Urethral Catheter (urinary tract infection due to presence of an indwelling urethral catheter), Retention of Urine (condition wherein the bladder does not empty completely or not at all), and his antibiotic therapy (medication given to treat an infection) upon admission to the facility. The facility failed to address, in Resident # 218's baseline care plan, her cervical collar (a rigid device that is placed around the neck and extends from the base of the neck to the top of the back to prevent movement of the neck) and her diagnosis of Nondisplaced Fracture (one in which the bone cracks or breaks but retains its proper alignment) of 5th Cervical Vertebra (bone in the neck) upon admission to the facility. These failures could affect newly admitted residents and place them at risk of not receiving continuity of care and communication among nursing home staff to ensure their immediate care needs are met, promote health, and prevent a decline or injury. Findings included: Resident #216: Record review of Resident #216's face sheet dated 03/27/2024 indicated he was an [AGE] year-old male who admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Covid and discharged home on [DATE]. The face sheet further indicated Resident #216 re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with new diagnoses of Acute Renal Failure, Inflammatory Reaction Due to Indwelling Urethral Catheter, and Retention of Urine. An in progress MDS dated [DATE] documented Resident #216 to have a BIMS score of 10, indicating his cognition to be moderately impaired. Record review of Resident #216's physician orders dated 03/25/2024 indicated instructions for the care of a urethral catheter and administration of an antibiotic medication (Bactrim DS twice daily). Record review of Resident #216's baseline care plan did not reflect any concerns, goals, interventions, nor instructions to address the presence of a urethral catheter, nor the physician's orders for catheter care. The baseline care plan did not address Resident #216's recent diagnoses of acute renal failure and infection associated with the use of an indwelling urethral catheter nor the prescribed antibiotic therapy to treat the urinary infection. During an observation and interview on 03/25/2024 at 10:57 AM, Resident #216 was noted transferring from his wheelchair to his bed. He said he was returning from therapy.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm have a clear tube coming out of the front opening of his pajamas and draining into a closed collection bag inside a privacy covering. Resident said a doctor put in a tube in his bladder because he could not urinate. He said the catheter had to stay until he saw the doctor again. He said he had an appointment, but he couldn't remember who the doctor was nor when his appointment was. He said his family took care of those things. Residents Affected - Few During an interview with LVN B on 03/27/2024 at 10:52 AM, she said Resident #216's urethral catheter was to stay in place until he saw the urologist and he was to be given Bactrim DS twice a day for 7 (seven) days for treatment of the urinary tract infection. LVN B said she could not locate any information in Resident #216's care plan that addressed his catheter, his diagnoses of acute renal failure, urinary infection, and urine retention, nor his antibiotic therapy. She said the purpose of a care plan was to ensure a resident's needs were managed properly and consistently. During an interview with the DON on 03/27/2024 at 11:10 AM, she said Resident #216's care plan from his previous stay at the facility (02/24/24-02/29/24) was re-activated by LVN C as his baseline care plan for his current admission on [DATE]. She said the care plan did not address Resident #216's antibiotic therapy, urethral catheter, and the new diagnoses of acute renal failure, urinary tract infection, and retention of urine. She said the diagnosis of acute renal failure associated with a urinary tract infection caused by the urethral catheter was the primary reason for Resident's admission and should have been addressed in the baseline care plan. The DON said that she and the ADON were responsible for reviewing the admission care plans. She said she was the nurse who reviewed Resident #216's baseline care plan. LVN C was not available for interview. Resident #218: Record review of Resident #218's face sheet indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Non-displaced Fracture of the 5th Cervical Vertebra (fracture of a bone in the neck). An in progress MDS dated [DATE] documented Resident #218 to have a BIMS score of 14, indicating her cognition to be intact. During observation and interview on 03/25/2024 at 11:05 AM, Resident #218 was noted to be sitting in a high back wheelchair in her room with a rigid cervical (neck) collar lying on the table beside her. She said she had just taken it off. She said she had fallen at home and broken her neck. CNA E entered the room and said she would tell the nurse about the neck brace. During observation of Resident #218 at lunch on 03/25/2024 at 12:10 PM, she was observed to be wearing the cervical collar and having difficulty feeding herself. She said she did not want any help and added that she wasn't hungry anyway. During an interview with the Speech Therapist (ST) on 03/27/2024 at 10:52 AM, she said Resident #218 was supposed to wear the cervical collar when she was sitting up. During an interview with LVN B on 03/27/2024 at 10:58 AM, she said Resident #218 was supposed to wear the cervical collar when she was out of the bed. She said Resident #218 was not compliant with wearing the collar. LVN B said she thought she read the directions for the collar use in the chart, but she could not find a physician's order for it. She said the nurses relied on information shared during change of shift report to know resident specific needs.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of Resident #218's physician orders dated 03/27/24 did not reveal a physician's order for a cervical collar nor any instructions for the use or care of it. Review of Resident #218's baseline care plan dated 03/18/2024 did not indicate any concern, focus, goals, nor interventions for the cervical collar. Residents Affected - Few During an interview with the DON on 03/27/2024 at 11:10 AM, she said she was aware of Resident #218's neck fracture and knew she was to wear a cervical collar when out of bed before the Resident admitted to the facility. The DON provided a copy of a physician's progress notes dated 03/12/2024 from the hospital's clinical records that indicated Resident #216 would need lots of help upon discharge and that she is significantly incapacitated by needing to wear the cervical collar. She said the ADON initiated Resident #218's baseline care plan and said the care plan should have addressed the cervical collar and Resident 218's diagnosis of non-displaced fracture of the 5th cervical vertebra. The DON confirmed that neither the physician's orders nor the care plan addressed the use of a cervical collar. She agreed that Resident #218's baseline care plan should have included interventions to promote healing and prevent decline or further injury. During an interview about Resident #218's baseline care plan with the ADON on 03/27/2024 at 11:15 AM, she said she overlooked the diagnosis of a fractured vertebra and the cervical collar. She said both the fracture and the collar should have been addressed in the care plan. Review of the facility's policy titled Base Line Care Plans indicated the following: The facility will develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that meet professional standards of quality care . The baseline care plan will reflect the resident's stated goals and objectives and include interventions that address his or her current needs. It will be based on the admission orders, information about the resident from the transferring provide, and discussion with the resident and resident representative, if applicable.

She said could not remember if Resident #15 had a red glass on her tray, which would indicate, Resident #15, was to receive a dietary supplement. Record review of a Dietary Services Policy & Procedure Manual, dated 2012, did not indicate any policy or procedure the facility would take to assure residents receive a nutritional supplement.
