based on who was a messy eater. She stated the morning of 05/31/2024 she did not offer Resident # 54 a
clothing protector because she got too busy and did not think about it. She said Resident #54 would grab
the whole plate and eat with his hands. She said that in the past when she offered him a clothing protector,
she would have to be putting it back on him constantly. She said that eventually she would stop putting it on
him and leave the used clothing protector on the table. She said she would not want to have food down the
front of her because she would be embarrassed.
In an interview on 05/31/24 at 01:43 PM, the DON revealed that the floor nurse or CNA would offer

food was too hot. She stated that CNAs do not offer clothing protectors to all residents but only to those
who require them because of difficulty eating. The DON stated that not having a clothing protector could put

cognitive impairment). Resident #16 had impaired ability to move his legs and used a wheelchair. He was
dependent on staff members to stand up and needed substantial to maximal assistance to transfer between
surfaces. He had fallen once with no injuries since his last MDS assessment.
Record review of Resident #16's care plan date revised 12/28/2021 revealed he was at risk for falls
because of balance
problems and poor safety awareness. Interventions included to anticipate and meet his needs, make sure
his call light was within reach and encourage him to use it, encourage him to participate in activities that
promoted exercise, physical activity for strengthening and improved mobility, ensure he was wearing
appropriate footwear, keep furniture in locked position, keep needed items in reach, and to be assisted with

he was in bed. She said she did not have input regarding his care plan but thought that the interventions
she mentioned would be part of his care plan for fall prevention.
In an interview on 05/31/24 at 02:36 PM the DON revealed that Resident #16 had a history of falls and was
not aware his care plan did not reflect the interventions the staff were using. She said it was important that
care plans be individualized to reflect interventions used with residents. She said if care plans were not
individualized, interventions used to address care needs could be missed and not followed, so residents
might not get their needs met. She said that care plans were developed by the MDS nurse and updated by
the IDT team.
Resident #49
Record review of Resident #49's face sheet dated 05/31/2024 revealed she was [AGE] years old and was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #49's History and Physical dated 4/4/2024 revealed she had a past medical
history of chronic pain in her lower extremities (legs). She had paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) and
polyneuropathy (damaged nerves) for which she was prescribed Lyrica and Ibuprofen.
Record review of Resident #49's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 13
(cognitively intact). She had experienced pain frequently over the past five days that frequently affected her
sleep. Her pain had caused her to occasionally limit her day-to-day activities. Her worst pain over the
previous five days had been at an 8 on a zero to ten scale, with zero being no pain and ten as the worst
pain.
Record review of Resident #49's MAR revealed she received 3 Gabapentin capsules (300 MG each) three
times a day to address autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage that can cause pain); 600 MG of Ibuprofen
every 6 hours as needed for pain, and Tylenol with Codeine #3 300- 30 MG every 4 hours as needed for
pain.
In interviews on 05/28/2024 at 8:15 AM and on 05/29/24 at 09:49 AM, Resident #49 expressed concern
that the facility had not been responsive to her requests for more effective pain medications. She said she
had asked the doctor for Tylenol 4 and he said it would be ordered, but she had never received it.
Record review of Resident #49's care plan last reviewed on 04/08/2024 revealed no care plan to address
pain.
In an interview on 05/31/24 at 02:37 PM the DON revealed that Resident #49 should have a care plan for
her pain. She said it was important that care plans be individualized to reflect interventions used with
residents. She said if care plans were not individualized, interventions used to address care needs could be
missed and not followed. For Resident #49 she said lack of a care plan to address pain might result in the
resident's pain being less effectively controlled than if there was a care plan. She said if care plans were not
individualized, interventions used to address care needs could be missed and not followed, so residents
might not get their needs met. She said that care plans were developed by the MDS nurse and updated by
the IDT team.

transmission of infections to the resident related to the urinary catheter.
During observation on 05/29/2024 at 04:29 PM, Resident #89 was sitting on her wheelchair in the facility
hallway in front of the nursing station. Resident #89 had sediment in the urinary catheter tubing. RN on
survey team was called to assist with nurse from facility to check if Resident #89 had a leg anchor strap for
resident's urinary catheter tubing. During observation Resident #89 had little to no urine in catheter bag,
white/yellow sediment in urine, and very strong urine order.
In an interview on 05/29/2024 at 04:33 PM LVN L stated that Resident #89 does not intake a lot of water

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In an interview on 05/31/2024 at 03:30 PM LVN F stated that the shower log information on the MAR for the
CNAs labeled Other meant the CNA did not complete a full shower of the resident, or the resident received
a wipe down. The LVN said this was either because the resident was having behaviors or just didn't want to
be bathed. LVN F stated that it was the CNAs responsibility to address if the resident wanted to be shaved
during shower time, and if the resident refused or had behaviors the CNAs were supposed to let nursing
know to add to the progress notes. LVN F does not recall when Resident #89 was last showered and would
have to look it up in the MAR.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview with Resident #89 on 05/31/2024 at 09:10 AM she was not able to communicate effectively
but addressed the questions being asked about her facial hair. Resident #89 stated she felt embarrassed
that she had facial hair and when she asked the CNA's how she looked they respond that she looked fine
or good so she left it alone and believed that she looks good/fine since that's what the CNAs tell her.
Resident #89 stated she has only been asked several times by the CNAs if she wants to be shaved and
cannot recall when the last time was, they had asked her.
In an interview on 05/31/2024 at 01:57 PM the Administrator stated the facility does not have a specific
policy regarding female facial hair. She said the facility had a Grooming Activities policy but it does not
address what the CNA's are responsible for regarding ADL care. Grooming Activities policy does not state
anything about shaving or any responsibilities towards the CNA's for addressing shaving during shower
time.
A phone call was placed on 05/31/24 at 11:20 AM to Residents #89's daughter who is her RP (Responsible
Party) did not answer, voicemail was left.
In an interview on 05/31/2024 at 11:31 AM the ADON revealed staff are trained to ask the resident if they
want to shave during their showers , and that Resident #89 had a pattern of resisting bathing. If a resident
was resistant to shaving, it needed to be brought up with the family and depending on what was agreed on
it would need to be care planned. The ADON said Resident #89's Her family has not stated anything about
the facial hair. As a reasonable person concept the ADON stated she would not want to have facial hair.
In an interview on 05/31/2024 at 01:50 PM the MDS Coordinator stated the purpose of a care plan was to
ensure the facility was meeting the residents' needs. She said assessments were done the first day of
admission and from there staff would learn from the residents and add to the care plan if needed. She said
the MDS staff depended on nursing and CNAs to report or document on PCC about the residents so MDS
could make a care plan for the needs of each of the residents. Nursing would also report in the morning
meeting if there was an issue with a resident and then MDS would update the care plan as needed.
Nursing could always update the MDS and make any changes to the care plan of the residents.
Documentation was needed in order for resident behaviors to updated in the MDS .
In an interview on 05/31/24 at 02:16 PM with Social Worker said it was the acute floor nurse's responsibility
to update the care plan if there were any changes with the resident. She said behaviors like refusal of care
regarding ADLs would be addressed by nursing. The Social Worker said Resident #89 was new to the
facility so a quarterly care plan update had not yet been done for her, but care planned is done immediately
until they that her care plan needs to be updated. Nursing can implement it in their care plan especially of a
refusal the nurse will need to update it automatically on their care plan so they can implement a care plan
of the change .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

In an interview on 05/31/24 at 09:02 AM LVN F stated Resident #89 does not have an anchor on and stated
she will put one on her right away. Resident #89 had a lot of sediment in her tubing again. LVN F stated that
she always has sediment in her tubing because she did not drink a lot of water, and it was in her care plan
to be encouraged to drink liquids. The LVN stated it was the responsibility of the CNAs to document how
much liquid the resident took in and the nurses would record how much she puts out when that bag is
changed on every shift or more if needed .
Residents Affected - Few
Received catheter policy on 05/31/24 at 11:11 AM, policy of catheter care was provided but requested if
facility has another policy regarding the leg anchor strap for a catheter, as the policy provided did not have
any information regarding the leg anchors for catheters.
In an interview on 05/31/24 at 11:27 AM the ADON stated that every resident that has a catheter should
have a leg anchor for the catheter. Staff are supposed to assist with making sure residents have the leg
anchor, if it is not there, they need to replace it. Some residents are scheduled to be checked every shift,
depending on their care plans, and this would be checked off on the MAR. The leg anchor is to secure the
foley to prevent pulling and harming the resident. She said the risk of harm to the residents if staff did not
ensure the resident had a leg strap to secure the urinary catheter would be pulling on the catheter which
could cause trauma to the resident, bleeding, and/or pulling out the catheter.
Record review of the facility Nursing Policy and Procedure Manual for Catheter Care revised February 13,
2007, revealed Keep tubing off and minimize friction or movement at insertion site.
Review the residents plan of care daily for changes.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that pain management was provided to residents
who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice and the residents' goals and
preferences for one (Resident #49) of 12 residents reviewed for pain control .
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #49's request, and physician's order to administer Tylenol 4
(Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet 300-60 MG) were carried out in a timely manner.
This failure could put residents at increased risk for pain and decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #49's face sheet dated 05/31/2024 revealed she was [AGE] years old and was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #49's History and Physical dated 4/4/2024 revealed she had a past medical
history of chronic pain in her lower extremities (legs). She had paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) and
polyneuropathy (damaged nerves) for which she was prescribed Lyrica and Ibuprofen.
Record review of Resident #49's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 13
(cognitively intact). She had experienced pain frequently over the five lookback days that frequently affected
her sleep. Her pain had caused her to occasionally limit her day-to-day activities. Her worst pain over the
previous five days had been at an 8 on a zero to ten scale, with zero being no pain and ten as the worst
pain.
Record review of Resident #49's MAR dated 5/5/2024 revealed she received 3 Gabapentin capsules (300
MG each) three times a day to address autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage that can cause pain); 600
MG of Ibuprofen every 6 hours as needed for pain, and Tylenol with Codeine #3 300- 30 MG every 4 hours
as needed for pain.
In interviews on 05/28/2024 at 8:15 AM and on 05/29/24 at 09:49 AM , Resident #49 expressed concern
that the facility had not been responsive to her requests for more effective pain medications. She said she
had been taking Tylenol 3 but had asked the doctor for Tylenol 4. She said the doctor said it would be
ordered, but she had never received it.
In an interview on 05/29/24 at 09:49 AM Resident #49 she said she asked the doctor for Tylenol 4 for her
pain. She said the doctor said it would be ordered, but it had been a week or two since she had asked the
doctor for the increase in medications . She said she wanted to change to a different doctor because her
current physician was not responding to her needs.
Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 4/11/24 at 1:31 PM revealed the
resident had informed Physician O that the Tylenol #3 was not working and wanted Tylenol #4. Physician O

60 MG one tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for pain. No medication was documented as having
been administered.
Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 4/16/24 at 9:34 AM revealed a new
order was received from Physician O's nurse practitioner to discontinue the Tylenol #4 order and switch
back to the Tylenol #3 order as before. The note did not give a reason for the change.
Record review of Resident #49's physician orders revealed an order dated 05/15/2024 and discontinued on
05/21/2024 for Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-60 MG Tablet to be given every four hours as needed for pain.
Resident #49 had another order for Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-60 MG Tablet to be given every four
hours as needed for pain dated 05/26/2024 and 5/28/24.
Review of Resident #49's MAR for May revealed that Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-60 MG Tablets were not
administered during those time periods.
Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 5/21/24 revealed an order was
received from Physician O's nurse practitioner to discontinue the Tylenol #4 at that time.
Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 05/30/2024, revealed she spoke to
Physician O who asked the nurse to contact the pharmacy to see if they need a triplicate or a signed
prescription on a prescription pad, and that the LVN learned from the pharmacy that the pharmacy was
unable to get Tylenol #4 because it had been on back order for months and unaware when will be able to
get it. LVN F's note indicated that she informed Physician O of this issue.
In an interview on 05/30/2024 at 12:00 PM, Physician O stated he had written an order for Resident #49's
Tylenol #4 but was just told that it was on back-order the past two months per pharmacy. He stated that
Resident #49had been on Tylenol III but wanted Tylenol IV .
In an interview on 05/31/24 at 09:34 AM, LVN F revealed she had received Resident #49's Physician order
for Tylenol #4 and that she had entered the order, and it should appear on Resident #49's April 2024 MAR.
She stated that the status right now was that the order was discontinued. She said she called the pharmacy
on 05/30/2024 to see if the pharmacy needed a prescription or a triplicate and was told the medication was
on back order. LVN F said the resident was sent to the pain center and had been getting Tylenol 3 as
needed. The LVN said the Tylenol 3 was usually effective not in alleviating the pain but in dropping the level
of the pain. She said she had spoken to the ADON, with a corporate level staff member, and with the DON
about the issue in getting the resident the Tylenol 4. LVN F stated that the potential impact on the resident
was that she could lose confidence in the facility and doctor (now she wants to switch). She said she did not
know if the resident's pain control would be better. She said the resident could have depression due to
being in constant pain and less motivation for movement or activities.
In an interview on 5/31/24 at 3:34 PM, the DON revealed that the nurses should have been following up to
see what the delay was in obtaining Tylenol #4 for Resident #49. If they had followed up, they might have
received the pain medication or heard sooner it was on back order and sought a solution. The DON said
that the risk to the resident was that her pain may not have been as well-controlled as it could have been. A
policy and procedure on pain management was requested .
Record review of the facility policy Pain Management, Assessment Scale dated 5/25/16 revealed
complaints of pain would be assessed and effectively managed through prescribed medications and
comfort

Observation on 05/31/24 at 8:59 a.m., revealed that Resident #58 was sleeping on his bed and the catheter
bag was hanging from the resident's side bed rail and that it was not covered with a privacy bag.
In an interview on 05/31/24 10:10 a.m., LVN E revealed that catheter bags must be covered for privacy,
even if the resident is in his room alone. She said that if the bag is not covered, it could create
embarrassment for the resident because it violates his privacy. Upon observation of the picture taken on
05/29/24 at 1:24 PM, LVN E stated that it was not acceptable for the bag to be uncovered and hanging from
the trash can. She said that there was a risk of infection for the bag hanging from the trash can.
In an interview on 05/31/24 10:23 a.m., LVN B revealed that the foley bags need to be always covered, no
matter if the resident is by himself in his room or if he's out in the common areas. Upon observing the
picture taken on 05/29/24 at 1:24 PM, LVN B stated that the bag was not covered and that it should not be
hanging from a trash can due to the risk of infections or contamination.

stated that the way the bag was hanging on the trash can and not being covered was unacceptable. The
DON said staff members such as LVNs and CNAs were expected to make rounds throughout their shifts to
check on the residents assigned to their halls for privacy issues. The DON said that by the bag not being
covered, it could result in Resident #58 feeling embarrassed since he is very vocal, and his cognitive level
was high. The DON stated that there was a risk of infection because the bag was hanging from the trash
can.
