body), type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications (high blood sugar), morbid obesity, depression,
muscle weakness, encounter for fitting and adjustment of urinary device, and need for assistance with
personal care.
Record review of Resident #324's entry MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 14 out of 15 which
indicated her to be cognitively intact as assessed by staff.
Record review of Resident #324's baseline care plan dated 02/10/24 revealed the resident had an
indwelling catheter.
Record review of Resident #324's physicians orders revealed the following: foley order on 02/08/24, foley
catheter care as needed dated 02/08/24, foley catheter care every shift dated 02/08/24, change foley tubing

During an observation on 2/27/24 at 11:55 AM Resident #324 was sitting at a dining room table for the
noon meal. Resident #324's catheter bag was on her wheelchair in full view of the dining room. There was
no privacy cover on the catheter bag.
During an interview on 2/28/24 at 8:27 AM, the ADON stated that all nursing staff are responsible for
catheter care, but primarily CNAs. The ADON stated that catheter bags are supposed to always be covered
for privacy regardless if resident is in bed or in their wheelchair. The ADON stated a possible negative
outcome for not having a privacy bag in place would be indignity for the resident.
During an interview on 2/28/24 at 8:44 AM, CNA D stated that during catheter care she makes sure that the
door and curtains are shut for privacy and that the catheter bag is to be covered at all times. CNA D went
on to state that a possible negative outcome for not having a catheter bag covered would be that it could
make the resident upset and that if other residents saw, they could lose their appetite.
During an interview on 2/28/24 at 10:44 AM, Resident #324 stated that it does not bother her when her
catheter bag is uncovered in her room, but it does bother her when she is out in the facility, in public view.
Record review of facility provided policy titled, Catheter Care, Urinary dated 08/2022 revealed no pertinent
information concerning the use of privacy bags.
Record review of facility provided policy titled, Resident Rights dated 02/2021 revealed in part: Employees
shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity.
Record review of facility provided policy titled, Dignity dated 02/2021 revealed in part: Each resident shall
be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction
with life, and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem. Residents are treated with dignity and respect at all
times. Demeaning practices and standards of care that compromise dignity are prohibited. Staff are
expected to promote dignity and assist residents; for example: helping the resident to keep urinary catheter
bags covered.

Parkinson's disease. An intervention associated with this focus area was for staff to monitor Resident #126
for signs and symptoms of Parkinson's including poor coordination, tremors, incontinence, and muscle
cramps.
Record review of staffing schedule provided by DON for Saturday 02/24/24 revealed CNA J and CNA L
(CNA L was an agency employee) worked the day shift and CNA R (a male) and CNA K worked the night
shift on the rehabilitation wing of the facility.
During an observation and interview on 02/26/24 at 08:31 AM Resident #126 was lying in bed with HOB
raised to sitting position, her breakfast tray was in front of her on a bedside table, and bi-lateral bedrails

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to attempt to use appropriate alternatives prior to
installing a side or bed rail, assess the resident for risk of entrapment from bed rails prior to installation, and
review the risks and benefits of bed rails with the resident or resident representative and obtain informed
consent prior to installation for one (Resident #126) of 18 residents reviewed for bed rails.
Resident #126 had quarter bed rails on both sides of her bed with an assessment that indicated no use of
bed rails and no consent in the EHR.
This failure could place residents at risk of entrapment or injury.
Findings Included:
Record review of Resident #126's admission record dated 02/27/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, Parkinson's disease
(chronic and progressive movement disorder that initially causes tremors in one hand and stiffness or
slowing of movement), hemiplegia (partial paralysis) affecting left nondominant side , chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (inflammation of lung tissue due to non-infectious causes, which results in cough
without mucus or phlegm, shortness of breath, and fatigue), chronic diastolic heart failure (a progressive
heart disease that affects the pumping action of the heart muscles resulting in shortness of breath and
fatigue), and long term use of anticoagulants (use of blood thinners can cause serious bleeding).
Record review of Resident #126's EHR MDS face sheet revealed an admission MDS In Progress with an
ARD date of 02/26/24. Section C of this MDS was completed and revealed a BIMS of 15 which indicated
intact cognition.
Record review of Resident #126's care plan initiated on 02/20/24 revealed a focus area regarding
Parkinson's disease. An intervention associated with this focus area was for staff to monitor Resident #126
for poor coordination and a decline in cognitive function. The care plan revealed a focus area regarding
Resident #126's high blood pressure. One of the interventions for this focus area was to monitor Resident
#126 for confusion, disorientation, and seizure activity. The care plan revealed a focus area regarding
Resident #126's diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar). An intervention for this area was to
monitor Resident #126 for confusion, tremor, and lack of coordination. The care plan revealed no mention of
bed rails.
Record review of Resident #126's active orders dated 01/27/24 revealed no order for bed rails.
Record review of the Assessments tab of Resident #126's EHR revealed a Side Rail/Bed Evaluation dated
02/20/24. This evaluation had a section titled Use of Rails/Bars. Question one of this section was: Indicate
the type and size of the bed rails/bars to be used The answer checked for this question was a. No bed
rail(s)/Bar(s) used. This evaluation was marked as Signed but did not indicate who had signed.

Record review of the Miscellaneous tab of Resident #126's EHR revealed no consent for bed rails for 2024.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an observation on 02/26/24 at 08:31 AM Resident #126 was lying in bed with the HOB of the bed
raised to sitting position and bilateral quarter bed rails in upright position.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation and interview on 02/27/24 at 08:52 AM Resident #126 was sitting on her bed with
both legs hanging off the side. Her bed had bilateral quarter bed rails in the upright position. She stated she
has had the bed rails since she admitted to the facility. She stated the bed rails helped her move around in
bed and get out of bed.
During an observation on 02/28/24 at 10:47 AM Resident #126 was seated in her w/c next to her bed. Her
bed had bilateral quarter bed rails in the upright position.
During an interview on 02/28/24 at 01:28 PM DON stated nursing staff were responsible for doing bed rail
assessments. She stated nurses were responsible for having bed rail consents signed. DON said a possible
negative outcome of a resident having bed rails without a consent or assessment was, They (residents) can
be harmed. When asked why Resident #126 had bedrails without a consent and with an assessment that
said no bed rails were used DON replied, I'll have to look into that.
Record review of facility policy titled Bed Safety and Bed Rails and dated August 2022 revealed in part:
. The use of bed rails is prohibited unless the criteria for use of bed rails have been met. 10. Additional
safety measures are implemented for residents who have been identified as having a higher than usual risk
for injury including bed entrapment (e.g., altered mental status .). Use of Bed Rails 3. The use of bed rails or
side rails (including temporarily raising the side rails for episodic use during care) is prohibited unless the
criteria for use of bed rails have been met, including attempts to use alternatives, interdisciplinary
evaluation, resident assessment, and informed consent. 4. Prior to the installation or use of a side or bed
rail, alternatives to the use of side or bed rails are attempted. 5. If attempted alternatives do not adequately
meet the resident's needs the resident may be evaluated for the use of bed rails. This interdisciplinary
evaluation includes; a. An evaluation of the alternatives to bed rails that were attempted and how these
alternatives failed to meet the resident's needs; b. the resident's risk associated with the use of bed rails; c.
input from the resident and/or representative; and d. consultation with the attending physician. 8. Before
using bed rails for any reason, the staff shall inform the resident or representative about the benefits and
potential hazards associated with bed rails and obtain informed consent.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices, the facility
failed to maintain medical records on each resident that were complete, accurately documented, readily
accessible, and systematically organized for 1 (Resident #324) of 27 residents reviewed for accurate
medical records.
The facility failed to correctly transcribe the Nurse Practitioner orders for Resident #324 related to blood
sugar.
This failure could place resident at risk of not receiving needed care or treatments by misleading care
providers regarding what care or treatment resident should receive.
The findings include:
Record review of Resident #324's face sheet dated 02/26/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. She had diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, chronic congestive heart
failure (fluid around the heart), acute respiratory failure (sudden failure of lungs to deliver oxygen to the
body), type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications (high blood sugar), morbid obesity, depression,
muscle weakness, encounter for fitting and adjustment of urinary device, and need for assistance with
personal care.
Record review of Resident #324's entry MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 14 out of 15 which
indicated her to be cognitively intact as assessed by staff.
Record review of Resident #324's progress notes dated 02/08/24 revealed the following: patient had been
admitted from the hospital due to the emergency department findings out what appeared to be x-ray
changes consistent with slight heart failure.
Record review of Resident #324's hospital records dated 02/06/24, revealed the following: patient had
received 2 units of insulin lispro (HumaLOG) injection on 02/04/24. Blood sugars were monitored on
02/05/24 & 02/06/24 twice daily with blood sugar readings being over the normal mark of 120 each day.
Normal blood sugar readings are between 70-120. On 02/05/24, her reading was 125. On 02/06/24, her
reading was 121. Assessment and plan from hospital stated patient has type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar)
and she will be placed on sliding scale for blood sugars and hemoglobin A1C (blood test that measures
average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months). A1C test at the hospital was 5.8, which was in normal
range.
Record review of Resident #324's care plan initiated on 02/10/24 revealed no documentation of resident
having a diagnosis of diabetes or any mention of resident needing interventions for diabetes.
Record review of Resident #324's admission MDS, section I, dated 02/12/24 revealed resident has
Diabetes Mellitus (high blood sugar).
Record review of Resident #324's progress notes at the facility dated 02/26/24 revealed Diabetes Type 2:

Record review of Resident #324's physicians orders dated 02/27/24 revealed no mention of insulin or
orders to monitor blood sugars.
Record review of Resident #324's Weight & Vitals for February revealed no documentation of blood sugars
taken.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 02/27/24 at 9:18 AM, resident stated that she has not had her blood sugars checked
since being in the facility. She stated she would monitor herself before coming to the facility, but not every
day. Also, stated she has not had an A1C since being in the facility.
During an interview on 02/27/24 at 10:48 AM, LVN C stated that the admission nurse is the one who
uploads admission packets and reviews diagnoses on residents that come in from the hospital and that
they usually keep diagnoses the hospital gives residents. She stated that if a resident has a diagnosis of
diabetes, that finger sticks and monitoring would need to happen in case of infection, which can inhibit
healing if blood sugar is off. Also, resident could be at risk of going back to the hospital because of
complications from not having blood sugar monitored. LVN C went on to state that she would look at history
of resident and follow baselines and finger sticks with all diabetics.
During an interview on 02/27/24 at 10:53 AM, DHCS stated that when a resident is admitted from the
hospital, the admitting nurse puts in orders for the resident and that she reads the discharge paperwork
from the hospital and uploads it into the residents' charts in medical records. Observed DHCS showing this
surveyor where discharge papers for residents were located in electronic health records and printed hard
copy for surveyor.
During an interview on 02/27/24 at 11:01 AM, MDS LVN stated if a diabetic came into the facility without
medications for diabetes, there would be weekly labs done to monitor their blood sugars, even if they were
not taking medications.
During an interview on 02/27/24 at 2:36 PM, RN A stated a possible negative outcome for not getting all the
orders or records in resident's files would be that there could be medication errors and that the resident
could be at risk for harm, or it could lead to an emergency.
During an interview on 02/27/24 at 2:50 PM, the DON stated that the floor nurse puts orders in for new
admits and reconciles with the Nurse Practitioner on what needs to be in the orders from the hospital. She
stated it is not odd for them to discontinue hospital orders for resident because Long Term Care is different
from hospital care. She stated that there were no orders on this resident to have any finger sticks or insulin
but that there would be an A1C with the labs.
During an interview on 02/28/24 at 9:37 AM, MDS LVN stated that progress notes from Nurse Practitioner
stated that resident has Diabetes Type 2 and to follow blood sugar levels. She stated that she added
Diabetes to care plan because even though facility is not treating Resident #324 for diabetes, she felt she
needed to add it to her care plan.
During an interview on 02/28/24 at 9:50 AM, FNP stated progress notes she had written that say to follow
blood sugar levels was a mistake on her part. She stated that she sees so many diabetic residents and that
is what she usually puts in their notes but stating that on Resident #324's notes, was an error. She stated
she should have written follow A1C and that she would amend the progress notes for Resident #324.
