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 the residents environment remained
as free of accident hazards as was possible and ensure each resident received adequate supervision for
one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for accidents and hazards, in that:
The facility failed on [DATE] to ensure Resident #1 remained free of hazards and had adequate supervision
in that she suffered a fall that resulted in a pool of blood around her head, a skin tear to her left elbow, and
bruises on all extremities which lead to her subsequent hospitalization with 3 fractured ribs on the left (8th,
9th, and 10th rib).
An immediate jeopardy existed from [DATE] - [DATE]. The IJ was determined to be at past noncompliance
as the facility had implemented actions that corrected the noncompliance prior to the beginning of the
investigation.
This deficient practice placed residents at risk for falls, injuries, and hospitalization.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, repeated falls, anxiety, and depression.
Review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment, dated [DATE], reflected a BIMS of 99, indicating the
resident could not complete the assessment. Section E (Behavior) reflected she had not shown signs of
wandering. Section P (Restraints and Alarms) reflected a wander/elopement alarm was used daily. Section
G (Functional Status) reflected she could ambulate in her room with supervision, and she did not ambulate
in the corridor. Section J (Health Conditions) reflected she had not had any falls with major injury since
admission/reentry or prior assessment. Section N (Medications) reflected she took daily antianxiety
medications, antidepressant medications, anticoagulants and opioids.
Review of Resident #1's undated care plan reflected she was at risk for mood problems due to dementia
that was last revised [DATE]. The care plan further reflected that Resident #1 was an elopement risk due to
being disoriented to place and impaired safety awareness, so a wander guard was placed on the right
ankle ([DATE]). The care plan further revealed that Resident #1 was dependent on staff for activities,
cognitive stimulation, and social interaction due to cognitive deficit, immobility and physical limitations. The
care plan also revealed that Resident #1 was at risk for falls due to weakness, history of falls, dementia,
anxiety, and bowel/bladder incontinence, and the following dates

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

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

During an interview on [DATE] at 12:30 pm ADM, stated that Resident #1 was having altered mental status,
so psychiatry was consulted and started the resident on Depakote on [DATE]. She stated the resident was
sent to the emergency room [DATE] and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and started on one
antibiotic (cipro), and then it was switched to a stronger antibiotic when sensitivities returned (Ertapenem).
She stated that psychiatry was aware of the falls that Resident #1 suffered and did not want to discontinue
Vistaril.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:23 pm Psych MD, stated that Depakote could cause falls and dizziness,
as could Vistaril. He stated he would discontinue any medication if the RP requested it because it was the
withdrawal of consent for the medication. He denied knowledge of the request to discontinue Vistaril but did
change it to PRN because the RP was concerned about the falls. He was informed the resident would not
stay in the wheelchair and was having falls, so he added Depakote and resumed scheduled Vistaril. He
stated that he was not aware that Resident #1 was diagnosed with a UTI on the same day as the Depakote
was started and that Resident #1's confusion and agitation could have been caused by the UTI and not
progression of disease and he would have discontinued the Depakote if he had known. He also stated he
complied with recommendations from the pharmacist, for dose reductions.
During an interview on [DATE] at 5:51 pm ADON stated that on [DATE] she and RP saw Resident #1 was
agitated and looking for her deceased husband, so she saw Psych MD and got order for Vistaril 10 mg
twice a day PRN and that RP gave verbal consent. She stated that Resident #1's diagnosis of UTI was
discussed at the morning meeting, but that she did not use her clinical judgement to consider discontinuing
the new psychotropic medications that were added due to the altered mental status of the resident.
Record review of Resident #1's progress notes dated [DATE] revealed a note at 9:34 am that stated
resident with increased anxiety and pressured speech; aggressive behaviors with staff redirected with
difficulty, NP present and new order for Depakote 125 mg bid for psychosis and mood disorder, RP aware
and gave verbal consent. Further review revealed a progress note dated [DATE] at 12:35 pm that stated
that Resident #1 was sent to the emergency room due to altered mental status and agitation and returned
with a diagnosis of UTI.
Record review of the manufacturer's guidelines for Depakote, accessed on [DATE] at
https://www.depakote.com/hcp/important-safety-information revealed: In a clinical trial, somnolence was
associated with valproate in some elderly dementia patients along with reduced nutritional intake; weight
loss; and a trend to have a lower baseline albumin concentration, higher BUN, and lower valproate
clearance. Discontinuation occurred in some patients. It further revealed that the most common adverse
reactions (reported >5%) included accidental injury, blurred vision, amnesia, anorexia, depression,
dizziness, dyspepsia (indigestion), emotional lability (rapid mood changes), insomnia, nausea,
nervousness, rash, somnolence (drowsiness), thinking abnormal, tremor, vomiting, and weight loss.
Record review of the [DATE] Beers Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults
published by the American Geriatrics Society, accessed on [DATE] at
https://www.guidelinecentral.com/guideline/340784/ , revealed that Cymbalta (duloxetine) should be used
with caution, haloperidol should be avoided except in some situations (bipolar, schizophrenia, and short
term chemotherapy), Vistaril (hydroxyzine) should be avoided for strong anticholinergic properties (impaired
memory, reduced cognitive function, behavioral disturbances, anxiety, and insomnia), Lorazepam should be
