This failure placed residents' caregivers at risk of not being aware of any changes in their conditions and could result in a delay in treatment and decline in residents' health and well-being. Findings included: Record review of Resident #41's face sheet dated 11/29/23 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses atrial flutter (a common abnormal heartbeat), Pneumonia (lung inflammation caused by bacterial or viral infection in which lungs become filled with fluid), and muscle weakness. Record review of Resident #41's annual MDS dated [DATE] indicated she had a BIMS score of 11 which indicated she had moderately impaired cognition. The MDS also indicated Resident #41 required Supervision assist stance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and eating, and required total assistance from staff for bathing. Record review of Resident #41's care plan last revised 11/28/23 did not indicate that she had a right finger fracture. Record review of Resident #41's nurse's notes dated 09/30/23 at 21:03 (9:03 PM) indicated LVN E made no mention of Resident #41's right finger being fractured nor notifying the responsible party of her right finger being fractured. Record review of nurse's notes dated from 09/30/23-10/09/23 made no mention of Resident #41's right fractured finger. Record review of Resident #41's after visit summary from the hospital visit dated 09/30/23 indicated Resident #41 had a diagnosis of: 1. Laceration of right finger without foreign body without damage to nail, initial encounter. 2. Displaced fracture of distal phalanx of right finger initial (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0580 encounter for open fracture. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 11/29/23 at 10:56 AM Resident #41's responsible party said the staff called her to notify of the incident, but it was after resident had made it to the emergency room. She said the staff never notified her that Resident #41 had a fractured right finger, but they were notified of the laceration. She said she never knew the fracture was there until her doctor visit on 10/09/23. Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 11/29/23 at 12:23 PM LVN E said she was the charge nurse on 09/30/23 and Resident #41 was sent out to the ER after an incident involving her fourth right finger. LVN E said when Resident #41 returned from the hospital she returned with the laceration with stitches and the finger was wrapped and had orders for treatments. She said she thought she saw the fracture diagnosis. LVN E said the responsible party was at the hospital, so she figured she knew Resident #41's diagnosis. She said she did not remember a conversation with the responsible party about the finger fracture. She said she notified resident's primary doctor or fracture and the laceration. LVN E said she should have notified the responsible party of the right finger fracture at the time she returned to the facility. LVN E said the failure placed a risk of the responsible party not knowing what was going on with the resident's care. During an interview on 11/29/23 at 12:50 PM the DON said she recalled the incident with Resident #41. She said she was sent to the emergency room, and she did not see the visit paperwork when Resident #41 returned. The DON said she knew she had a fracture but unsure if it was on the first emergency room visit. She said she expected the responsible party to be notified on the day the resident returned to the facility from the hospital. The DON said charge nurse on duty was responsible for notifying the responsible party. She said she did not realize the fracture was not mentioned or noted. The DON said the failure placed the resident and family at risk of not knowing residents diagnosis and it was their right to know the resident's diagnosis and treatments. During an interview on 11/29/23 at 1:35PM the Administrator at the time of the incident said he did not recall any incidents involving Resident #41 and he hated to say what he would expect or think since he did not work at the facility since 11/30/23.

Record review of the care plan last revised 11/16/2023 indicated Resident #34 required pain management related to a diagnosis of osteoarthritis to administer medications as ordered. Record review of Resident #34's Individual Resident Narcotic Record for hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg dates ranged from 11/27/2023-11/28/2023 indicated two separate entries on 11/28/2023 documented by MA A with one table of hydrocodone-acetaminophen administered each time. Both entries dated 11/28/2023 did not have a documented time the medication was administered. Record review of Resident #34's MAR dated from 11/01/2023-11/30/2023 indicated hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg was administered on 11/28/2023 at 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM by MA A. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 9:33 AM, MA A said when administering a narcotic medication, the narcotic drug record should be filled out with the date and time administered, initials, quantity given and the quantity remaining. MA A said for the Norco given on 11/28/2023 she must have forgotten to put the time because she was rushed. MA A said the person administering the medication should be making sure the log was filled out correctly. MA A said it was important to fill out the narcotic drug record as required to keep track of the medications and to ensure the residents received the right amount and the right dose at the right time. During an interview on 11/28/2023 at 3:57 PM, MA B said when she administered a narcotic medication, she would look at the order in the computer then pop the medication out of the medication card, log it on the narcotic drug record, and sign it off as administered on the MAR. MA B said on the narcotic drug record she would fill out the date, time, name, the quantity given and the quantity remaining. MA B said every time a narcotic medication was administered this was supposed to be done. MA B said she had not put the time on the narcotic drug record and not signed the medication as administered on the MAR because she was rushed and distracted. MA B said sometimes the residents were asking her for things and this made her feel rushed and distracted. MA B said it was important to document medications when administered so the times would be accurate. MA B said not putting the time administered on the narcotic drug record could result in the narcotic medications being mishandled, given at the inappropriate times, or unaccounted for.

The DON said she had not noticed Resident #34's, Resident #35's, Resident #36's, and Resident #37's narcotic medication records were not filled out properly. The DON said it was important for the narcotic medication records to be filled out properly, so the staff knew exactly when a medication was given.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #42's electronic record reflected the residents accurate skin conditions during her respite stay from 10/04/23-10/08/23. This failure could place residents at risk of worsening skin integrity and decline in comfort level. The findings included: Record review of Resident #42's face sheet dated 11/29/23 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 10/08/23. Resident #42 had diagnoses which included heart disease( a heart condition that includes diseased blood vessels, structural problems, and blood clots), chronic kidney disease stage 4(disease in which the kidneys do not function as they should to filter waste from the body), chronic diastolic congestive heart failure(a disease in which the left side of the heart does not function well and causes decreased blood flow), diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia( disease in which the body does not produce or respond to the hormone insulin and causes blood sugars to elevate), anxiety, and high blood pressure. Record review of Resident #42's weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] indicated she had MASD to coccyx that measured 1cm X0.5cm. Record review of the facility skin report dated 10/06/23 indicated Resident #42 did not have a wound. Record Review of Resident #42's EMR (electronic medical record) on 11/28/23 at indicated resident did not have a comprehensive MDS completed. Record review of Resident #42's physician order report dated 10/29/23-11/29/23 indicated she had an order to Clean wound to coccyx with wound cleanser or NS (normal saline) pat dry using gauze apply Medi honey (a medicated dressing used for pressure ulcers/sores with partial a or full thickness) and cover with boarder foam dressing once a day with a start date of 10/04/23. Record review of Resident #42's treatment administration history dated 10/03/23-10/10/23 indicated she received treatment to wound to coccyx on 10/5/23, 10/06/23, 10/07/23, and 10/08/23 as ordered. The treat administration history indicated she did not receive treatment on 10/04/23 because the treatment had already been completed. Record review of Resident #42's hospice visit note report dated 10/07/23 completed by RN F indicated she had a stage II pressure ulcer to her coccyx with no measurements taken, and the wound contained 75-<100% epithelialized tissue (the tissue that covers a wound when healing).

Wound was to be cleansed with NS, pat dry, apply Medi honey to wound bed, cover with foam dressing. Dressing was to be completed daily. During an interview on 11/28/23 at 2:46 PM RN G said Resident #42 had had a pressure area to her coccyx the entire time she was on the hospice services. She said she saw wound on the day Resident #42 discharged , 10/8/23 and it looked good with no decline. RN G said she would guess it was about 2cm X 2cm and like a stage 2 pressure ulcer in appearance with 0.1 in depth, but it was a healing stage 4 ulcer that Resident #42 began with. During an interview on 1/28/2023 at 3:50PM LVN E said she did not look at her wound on the first day. She said it was MASD (moisture associated skin damage). She said resident had a wound and the area was small and just a little bit open with no drainage, so she did not feel it was a pressure ulcer. LVN E said she did not add Resident #42 to the skin report because MASD would not be placed on the skin reports. During an interview on 11/28/2023 at 4:00PM the ADON said she never looked at Resident #42's wound to know what it looked like. She said residents with respite care were treated the same as a resident who admits for long term care and an accurate assessment should have been in her medical records. The ADON said she understood Resident #42 to have had a stage 4 at one time but was unsure of what it looked like as of the day she discharged on 10/08/23. During an interview on11/29/2023 at 9:10 AM the DON said she never looked at Resident #42's coccyx wound or MASD. During an interview on 11/29/23 at 12:15 PM LVN E said she would not have documented any differently had she known Resident #42 had a healing stage 4 pressure injury. She said she did question the hospice nurse about using barrier cream, but the hospice nurse said they would continue the use of medi-honey. The measurement was for the MASD. She said the depth of the open area was superficial and it looked as though it was MASD. LVN E said the DON normally would look at the wounds upon admission. She said had she known it was a previous wound she would have had the DON look at it to stage it. LVN E said she knew that you cannot down stage a wound. She said the failure placed the resident at risk of not having all the protocols and nutrition put in place for her benefit and healing. During an interview on 11/29/23 at12:55 PM the DON said LVN E documented what she thought it was and she did not have the documentation in place to know any different. She said it was a mistake in charting. The DON said if Resident #42 had significant wounds she would have gone behind the treatment nurse and assessed to ensure it was documented and staged correctly. The DON said LVN E was responsible for assessing and accurately documenting all skin. She said she should have notified the DON for staging wounds. The DON said the risk to the resident was a charge nurse not truly knowing what or how to care for the resident. During an interview on 11/29/23 at 1:35PM the previous Administrator resident was in the facility said he did not recall anything about Resident #42, or an incident and he hated to say what he would think or expect since he did not work there anymore. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 2:05 PM the Administrator said he expected the labeling and staging for the wound to have been placed correctly and the correct plan of care followed. He said the DON was responsible for ensuring the correct documentation was in place, and the risk to the resident was that she would not be cared for properly.
