F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident received adequate supervision to prevent accidents for 1 of 9 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accidents and supervision. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to provide adequate supervision after a resident expressed suicidal ideations (she wanted to die). The non-compliance was identified as past non-compliance (PNC). The Immediate Jeopardy began on 9/10/2023 and ended on 9/11/2023. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate supervision and interventions for suicidal thoughts and attempts which could lead to residents sustaining serious injury or harm. Findings include: Record review of an undated, face sheet indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia (loss of cognitive functioning), diabetes (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), stroke (lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off ), difficulty speaking and swallowing due to a stroke, major depression, (medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act) and anxiety (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities). Record review of physician orders, dated 7/10/2023, indicated Resident #1 received psych services for evaluation and monitoring. The orders indicated she received Depakote 125 mg one time a day for mood disorder and Paroxetine 40 mg one time a day for depression and anxiety. Record review of an annual MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident #1 was usually understood and usually understood others. A BIMS score of 12, which indicated Resident #1 was moderately impaired cognitively. Resident #1 required limited to extensive assistance with most ADLs. Resident #1 had signs and symptoms of delirium to include disorganized thinking behaviors present. Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 12/01/2021, indicated Resident #1 was at risk for behavioral symptoms/suicidal ideation related to vocalized wanting to die when she was mad. The care plan interventions included to allow her time to answer questions and to verbalize feelings (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

Record review of a progress note dated 9/4/2023, from NP D from psychiatric services, indicated the resident was negative for suicidal ideations. Resident #1 was being seen 2-3 times a month by psych services for major depression disorder, insomnia, and medication monitoring. Residents Affected - Few Record review of a progress note for Resident #1, dated 9/10/2023 at 10:10 p.m., LVN A indicated Resident #1 was sitting up in her wheelchair in her room. Resident #1 refused medications at 8:30 p.m. and was yelling at staff to leave her alone, she just wanted to die. LVN A tried to redirect the resident, but the resident continued to yell get out, just leave me alone. LVN A left Resident #1 alone in her room and when she came back to the room, the resident was not yelling. LVN A found Resident #1 with shoestrings tied around her neck. LVN A cut the shoestring off and asked the resident if she did that to kill herself and Resident #1 screamed out I sure did! Resident #1 was placed on 24-hour 1-on-1 monitoring, and the MD, RP, and DON were notified. A call was placed for EMS to transport the resident to the local hospital for evaluation and treatment. When EMS arrived, Resident #1 continued yelling, was aggressive and refused to cooperate with staff and EMS. EMS administered Haldol (antipsychotic medication) intramuscularly, but the medication was ineffective. While EMS transferred Resident #1 from her wheelchair to the stretcher, the resident was alert and yelling and hitting EMS as they exited the facility. The RP was notified. During a telephone interview on 9/13/2023 at 5:05 p.m., LVN A said she was the nurse on duty for Resident #1 the evening of 9/10/2023, the date the incident occurred. She said around 8:45 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. she checked Resident #1's fingerstick blood sugar level, but the resident became aggressive when she returned to give her the scheduled 9 p.m. medications. She said the resident started hollering, screaming, and cussing at her telling her to get the hell out, don't want to live/want to die. She said CNA B was in the room behind the privacy curtain providing care for Resident #1's roommate. LVN A said she left the room to get CNA C who could calm Resident #1 down and get her to take medications and/or allow staff to provide care. LVN A said as she was leaving the room, she told CNA B to keep an eye on Resident #1. LVN A said she returned to Resident #1's room with CNA C around 9:15 p.m. and found the resident had 2 shoestrings tied together around her neck tightly. She said the resident was combative (slapping the nurse's hands back), but she was able to release tension of the shoestrings from around the resident's neck. LVN A said she directed for CNA C to get scissors to cut the string. She said when CNA C returned to the room with the scissors from the nurses' station, she cut the shoestrings and removed them from the resident's neck. She said after cutting the string, there were red marks to the left side of Resident #1's neck. LVN A said she asked the resident if she did that to kill herself and the resident screamed out I sure did! She said Resident #1's MD, the DON, administrator, and RP were notified. She said Resident #1 was placed on 24-hour 1-on-1 monitoring at 9:30 p.m. until the ambulance arrived at 9:45 p.m. to transport her to the hospital for evaluation. She said when EMS arrived, the resident was combative and hollering out. LVN A said EMS administered Haldol to Resident #1, but it was ineffective as she continued yelling and hitting the EMS staff as they exited the facility. LVN A said she did not recall this resident ever being this aggressive and combative. LVN A said the resident had a history of episodes of hollering and fighting staff at times with episodes of crying saying she wanted to die.

She said when she returned to the resident's room with the scissors, LVN A was trying to release tension on the shoestrings.

During a telephone interview on 9/14/2023 at 12:19 p.m., NP D said he was a psych service NP and visited with Resident #1 two to three times a month for a year or more. He said he was seeing the resident for delusions, depression/sadness, sleep disturbances, and for management of psychotropic medications and side effects, and to monitor the effects of medications and for dose adjustments. He said he was surprised to hear the resident made suicidal ideations or expressed any desire or plan to commit suicide because she denied risk of self-harm during visits. NP D said Resident #1 could be moody at times and depending on her mood, she might not speak with anyone or allow anyone to assess her. NP D said the facility notified him of Resident #1's suicide attempt and her being sent out for evaluation. He said he would visit with her when she returned to the facility.
