interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident was informed before, or at the time of
admission, and periodically during the residents stay, of services available in the facility and of changes for
those services, which included changes for services not covered under Medicare/Medicaid or by the
facility's per diem rate for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #183) reviewed for Medicare/Medicaid coverage.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #183 was given a SNF ABN when discharged from skilled services at
the facility prior to covered days being exhausted.
This failure could place residents at risk for not being aware of changes to provided services.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #183's face sheet, dated 06/19/2024, indicated Resident #183 was a [AGE]
year-old male, originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included hypokalemia (low

receiving Medicare Part A services starting on 04/19/2024 and the last covered day of Part A services was
05/09/2024, However, a SNF ABN was not completed which would have informed Resident #183 of the
option to continue services at the risk of out of pocket.

ensuring Resident #183 was issued a SNF ABN. MDS Coordinator A stated Resident #183 had 60 days
remaining. MDS Coordinator A stated the form should have been issued if the resident had skilled benefit
days remaining and was being discharged from Part A services and continued living in the facility. When
asked why the form was not given, MDS Coordinator A stated, It got missed. MDS Coordinator A stated it
was important to ensure residents received the form because it notified the family and resident that there
was a possibility that they could be responsible for extra charges that the insurance would not cover. MDS
Coordinator A stated there was a not a risk because his needs were met.
During an interview on 06/20/2024 at 3:44 p.m., the Administrator stated the MDS Coordinators were
responsible for ensuring the SNF ABN was completed. The Administrator stated the regional coordinator
was responsible for monitoring and overseeing. The Administrator stated it was important for residents to
receive the SNF ABN so they are aware of how many days they have left that the insurance will pay.
Record review of the facility's' policy effective 04/30/2018, titled Creative Solution in Healthcare Policy and

Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure parenteral fluids were administered
consistent with professional standards of practice and in accordance with physician orders for 1 of 1
(Resident #68) resident reviewed for intravenous fluids.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not ensure LVN F followed the policy and procedure for Resident #68's PICC line (a long,
thin tube that's inserted through a vein in your arm and passed through to the larger veins near your heart)
when the patency was not assessed, and resistance was met during the 10 mL saline flush.
This failure could place residents at risk for PICC line associated complications such as occlusion
(blockage), thrombosis (blood clot), and infection.
The findings included:
Record review of the face sheet, dated 06/19/2024, revealed Resident #68 was a [AGE] year-old male who
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of pneumonia (lung infection).
Record review of the admission MDS assessment, dated 05/30/2024, revealed Resident #68 had clear
speech and was understood by others. The MDS revealed Resident #68 was able to understand others.
The MDS revealed Resident #68 had a BIMS score of 12, which indicated moderately impaired cognition.
The MDS revealed Resident #68 received IV medications while a resident.
Record review of the comprehensive care plan, revised 05/30/2024, revealed Resident #68 had IV access.
The interventions included: administer IV medications as ordered, flush the ports/lines as ordered, and
resident has PICC line IV access.
Record review of the order summary report, dated 06/18/2024, revealed Resident #68 had the following
orders:
Flush IV line with 10 mL of normal saline before and after medication every shift, which started on
05/27/2024.
Piperacillin Sod-Tazobactam Intravenous Solution (antibiotic) - Use 3.375 gram intravenously three times a
day for pneumonia, which started on 05/30/2024.
Record review of the MAR, dated June 2024, revealed Resident #68 received IV antibiotics at 7 AM, 1 PM,
and 7 PM. The MAR further revealed Resident #68 received a 10 mL normal saline flush before and after
medication.
During an observation on 06/18/2024 beginning at 1:02 PM, LVN F prepared Resident #68's 10 mL normal
saline flush and attached it to the PICC line. LVN F did not check patency by drawing back on the syringe to
check for blood. LVN F attempted to push the normal saline flush and met resistance. LVN F had to readjust
Resident #68's arm, over approximately 5 minutes, and continued to meet resistance. LVN F was eventually
able to flush the line. LVN F then proceeded to hang the IV medication and attached it to the PICC line. LVN
F noticed the medication was not dripping so he had to adjust Resident #68's arm until the medication
started dripping at a slow steady rate.

During an interview on 06/18/2024 beginning at 1:38 PM, LVN F stated he noticed Resident #68's PICC
line was not easily flushed earlier in the morning at 7 AM. LVN F stated Resident #68's PICC line had not
been difficult to flush prior to that morning on 06/18/2024. LVN F said the protocol for PICC lines that were
difficult to flush and had resistance was to notify the doctor. LVN F stated he had not notified the doctor.
LVN F stated he was not allowed to draw blood through the PICC line, so he did not check the patency of
the line by drawing back on the line for a blood return. LVN F stated he never checked for a blood return
when using a PICC line. LVN F stated using the PICC line when resistance was noted could have indicated
an occlusion. LVN F stated using a PICC line that was occluded could have caused a blood clot to break
loose. LVN F stated he had received IV training, approximately in September of 2023. LVN F said he has
worked with PICC lines before, but he did not work with often.
During an interview on 06/18/2024 beginning at 1:47 PM, the DON stated IV competencies were completed
on hire and annually. The DON stated he was unsure when the last in-service was completed but it had not
been a full year since the last one. The DON stated the facility accepted patients with PICC lines, but the
facility did not usually have a lot. The DON said Resident #68 admitted from the hospital with the PICC line
in place. The DON said before a nurse attempted to flush a PICC line, blood should have been withdrawn to
check patency. The DON said the PICC line should have been flushed with 10 mL of saline before and after
use. The DON said the nurses were not supposed to use a PICC line if they met any resistance during the
flush or medication administration. The DON stated LVN F should have stopped using the line and called
the doctor if resistance was met. The DON said resistance during a flush could have indicated an occluded
PICC line. The DON said using the PICC line with an occlusion could have caused a blood clot to break
loose which could have caused a pulmonary embolism or CVA.
During an interview on 06/18/2024 beginning at 3:30 PM the DON stated he checked on Resident #68's
PICC line and it was flushing without issues and had a good blood return. The DON said he went ahead
and notified the doctor with no new orders. The DON said the doctor said it was okay to continue to use the
line. The DON stated he added to the IV flush order, which reminded the nurses to not use the line if
resistance was met and to notify the doctor. The DON stated one-on-one training was completed with LVN
F and other nursing staff members were in the process of completing in-service training on PICC lines.
During an interview on 06/20/2024 beginning at 8:46 AM, the DON said the IV competencies included all
forms of IV therapy including PICC lines. The DON stated the competencies were a hand on check off. The
DON stated the training website recently updated their training, which included a training on IV lines. The
DON stated LVN F completed the training on 06/18/2024.
During an attempted interview on 06/20/2024 beginning at 4:06 PM to gather more information LVN F
dropped the call and did not return the phone call upon exit of the facility.
During an interview on 06/20/2024 beginning at 5:49 PM, the Administrator stated she expected the
nursing staff to follow the policy regarding PICC lines. The Administrator stated nursing management was
responsible for monitoring to ensure PICC line polices were followed. The Administrator stated it was
important to ensure policies were followed for PICC lines to ensure residents were getting the medication
appropriately through the IV.
Record review of the licensed nurse proficiency audit, dated September 2023, revealed LVN F had been
checked off and was satisfactory for IVN skills, which included initiating IV therapy, maintaining

During an interview on 06/20/2024 beginning at 2:17 PM, MA K stated she had not realized Resident #73's
blood pressure medication had a hold parameter for her diastolic blood pressure less than 90. MA K stated
those were not the normal parameters and it should have been held for diastolic blood pressure less than
60. MA K stated if she had noticed a medication with a hold parameter outside of the normal, she should
have notified the charge nurse so she could have clarified with the doctor. MA K stated Resident #73's
Keppra was scheduled for 7 AM. MA K stated you had an hour before and an hour after the scheduled time
to administer the medication. MA K stated she administered Resident #73's medications late at times
depending on what was going on at the facility. MA K stated it was important to ensure medication was
given on time to ensure the residents received the effective dosages. MA K stated it was important to
ensure medications were held according to the medication parameters to prevent adverse reactions. MA K
stated given blood pressure medications outside the parameters could have caused the blood pressure to
bottom out.

blood pressure medication had a hold parameter for his diastolic blood pressure less than 90. MA L stated
those were not the normal parameters and it should have been held for a diastolic blood pressure less than
60. MA L stated she should have asked the nurse to clarify the orders with the doctor if the hold parameters
were outside of the normal. MA L stated she had not notified the nurse because she was unaware of the
parameters. MA L stated the order could have been changed and no one let her know. MA L stated she
compared the card or bottle to the MAR during medication administration most of the time. MA L stated it
was important to ensure medications were given according to the doctor's orders to prevent adverse
reactions. MA L stated a blood pressure medication given outside the parameters could have caused
Resident #72's blood pressure to drop.
During an interview on 06/20/2024 beginning at 5:17 PM, the DON stated normal hold parameters for a
diastolic blood pressure were less than 60 not less than 90. The DON stated those parameters for Resident
