The facility failed to refer Resident #20 and Resident #27 for PASARR Level II assessments after their PASARR listed them as having evidence or an indicator of Mental Illness. This failure could place residents with a positive PASARR evaluation at risk for decreased quality of life, an increased and unnecessary risk of poor self-esteem and poor self-worth. Findings include: Record review of Resident #20's face sheet, dated 02/14/22, revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hypertension. The face sheet also contained a second sheet, dated 06/01/22, with additional current diagnoses of psychotic disorder with hallucinations due to known physiological conditin (a mental health problem that causes people to perceive or interpret things differently from those around them that might involve hallucinations or delusions). Record review of Resident #20's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of two out of 15 which indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. Section E of the MDS titled, Behavior revealed, in part, .Psychosis: Hallucinations .Checked .Psychosis: Delusions .Checked. Section F titled, Functional Status revealed Resident #20 required extensive one-person assistance with bed mobility, transferring, toilet use and personal hygiene. She required supervision with set-up help only with eating. Section I titled, Active Diagnoses revealed diagnoses of depression (other than bipolar) and psychotic disorder (other than schizophrenia). Record review of Resident #20's care plan, dated 06/08/22, revealed in part, [Resident #20] is at a high risk for falls related to .Psychotic disorder with hallucinations [sic], Psychotropic drug usage . Record review of Resident #20's PASARR Level 1, dated 02/11/22, revealed, in part, Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has a Mental Illness? No . Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has an Intellectual Disability? No . Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has a Developmental Disability (Related Condition) other than an Intellectual Disability (e.g., Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida)?

When asked what if they had an agency staff member who was working who was not familiar with the residents, how would they know when it was opened and LVN B stated they might not know when the Levemir flex pen was opened. LVN B stated she did think staff would know who it belonged to because Resident #9 was the only resident on a Levemir flex pen. LVN B stated not labeling or dating insulin pens could have resulted in giving a resident the wrong medication.

She stated insulin pens needed to be labeled with an open date, they were only good for 28 days after they were taken out of the refrigerator and opened. DON stated she would have expected her staff to discard an unlabeled insulin pen found in the medication cart and reorder a new one.
