F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 5 residents, (Resident #1) reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's care plan reflected the resident's primary diagnosis of cancer. This failure could place the residents at risk of not receiving adequate care. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, date 08/19/24, reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male, who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had a diagnoses which included Malignant Neoplasm of Right Kidney (cancer of the kidney), Pneumonia (bacterial infection of the lungs), Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia (low oxygen level of body tissue), Severe Protein/Calorie Malnutrition, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease, Secondary and Unspecified Malignant Neoplasm of Lymph Nodes of Multiple Regions (cancer of the lymph nodes), Anemia, Thrombocytosis (high platelet count in blood), Hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood), Hyperkalemia (too much potassium in the blood), Essential Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart wall), Pleural Effusion (build up of fluid between the lungs and chest wall), Malignant Pleural Effusion (cancer between the lungs and chest wall cavity), Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (inflamed internal and external body parts), Acute Kidney Failure (sudden decline of kidney function), Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 (damaged kidneys), and Hematuria (blood or blood cells in the urine). Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan with an initial date of 07/11/24 did not address Resident #1's diagnosis of Kidney Cancer or Lymph Node Cancer. Record review of Resident #1's MDS, dated [DATE], did not reflect a BIMS score or the cancer diagnosis. In an interview on 08/19/24 at 2:54 PM, The DON stated the cancer diagnosis was addressed by addressing some symptoms of the cancer. She stated they did not address the cancer specifically on the care plan. (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.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few In a follow-up interview on 08/20/24 at 2:32 PM, the DON stated the facility had an RN initiated care plan that is tailored by MDS Nurse B for each resident. The DON stated MDS Nurse B signed off on the care plans once the plans were completed. The DON stated Resident #1 did not have a baseline care plan. She stated they started the comprehensive care plan a day or so after he admitted to the facility, so the baseline care plan was not done. The DON stated she believed the system generated the care plan from the resident's listed diagnoses, and it pulled the cancer diagnosis over as a general diagnosis. The DON stated that was when it was up to a nurse to go in and specify and that is where MDS Nurse B would have started. The DON stated she believed it was a system issue, as to why the cancer did not populate on Resident #1's care plan. She stated the issue now had their attention, and they were working on ensuring the care plans are more detailed. The DON stated she felt there was no risk, because the nurses knew the resident's diagnosis and treated Resident #1. The DON stated the physician orders were in the system, so they did not have to look at the care plan. The DON stated the care plan provided an overall view of care for Resident #1 and set goals. In an interview on 08/20/24 at 2:55 PM, MDS Nurse B stated she was responsible for the resident care plans. She stated she did not generate the care plans. MDS Nurse B stated RNs generated the initial care plans for residents. She stated the initial part of the care plans was not her responsibility, but cancer should have been listed on the care plan for Resident #1. MDS Nurse B stated she was at the end of the care plan process and was not sure if Resident #1's care plan was completed, as he had recently admitted to the facility. In an interview on 08/20/24 at 3:05 PM, Chief Nursing Officer C stated she did not feel there was a risk of Resident #1's cancer not being addressed on his care plan. She stated all nurses were aware of his diagnosis, and she did not feel the staff would have done anything differently. Chief Nursing Office C stated the triggers on the care plan are completed by nursing staff. She stated the comprehensive assessment is completed within 14 days of admission, and Resident #1's comprehensive care plan was initiated within 24-48 hours of his admission. In an interview on 08/20/24 at 3:18 PM, Chief Executive Officer D stated he did not feel there was a risk with the cancer not being addressed on Resident #1's comprehensive care plan. He stated he believed chronic illness was addressed on the care plan. Record review of the facility's policy, dated 2001, with a revision date of 03/22 and titled, Care Plans Comprehensive-Person Centered, reflected the following: Policy Statement A comprehensive person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetable to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. Policy Interpretation and Implementation 1. The interdisciplinary team, in conjunction with the resident and his/her family or legal representative, develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. 2.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the resident was free of any significant medication errors for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed in that: Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Admitting Nurse E added Resident #1's medication order correctly for Cabozantinib, a medication for cancer, to the electronic record. As a result, the facility did not administer the correct amount of Cabozantinib to Resident #1 from 07/11/24-07/13/24. These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving their medications as ordered or possible illness. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, date 08/19/24, reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male, who admitted to the facility on [DATE].

Record review of Resident #1's MDS, dated [DATE], did not reflect a BIMS score or the cancer diagnosis.
