F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain a quiet homelike environment for 1 of 3 sampled residents for oxygen use (Resident #117). The findings included: Resident #117 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident had severe cognitive impairment, required extensive one-person assist with activities of daily living, and required the use of oxygen. An observation of the 500 unit was conducted on 12/05/22 at 10:00 AM. A loud humming noise was heard coming from Resident #117's room. Upon entering Resident #117's room, surveyor observed the resident receiving oxygen by nasal cannula. Further observation revealed the loud noise was coming from the oxygen concentrator (device that delivers oxygen). An interview was conducted with Staff G, a Licensed Practical Nurse, on 12/05/22 at 12:00 PM. Surveyor was walking down the 500 unit hallway with Staff G. Staff G acknowledged the loud humming sound heard in the hallway was coming from Resident #117's oxygen concentrator. Staff G stated she did not know why the oxygen concentrator was making such a noise, and would call maintenance and replace the resident's oxygen concentrator. Staff G was observed retrieving a new oxygen concentrator, and replaced the old oxygen concentrator. The new oxygen concentrator was quiet/no sound. Staff G asked Resident #117 if That was better? Resident #117 smiled and nodded her head yes. An interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director on 12/07/22 at 10:00 AM. The director acknowledged the oxygen concentrator that was in Resident #117's room was placed out of service. The Director further acknowledged the loud noise coming from the oxygen concentrator was not normal, and should not have been in Resident #117's room.

Closer observation showed a tube feeding that was on hold with Osmolite 1.5 at 60 ml an hour and was at the 700 ml mark out of a 1000 ml bottle. Further review showed that the tube feeding bottle was started on 12/05/22 at 12:00 PM. According to the above Physician's orders, the tube feeding should have been at the 520 ml mark out of the 1000 ml capacity bottle. (photographic evidence obtained) In an observation conducted on 12/06/22 at 7:50 AM, Resident #58 was noted in bed. Closer observation showed that the tube feeding was running at 60 ml an hour, and the tube feeding bottle was started on 12/06/22 at 5:00 AM.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to follow Physician's orders and failed to update dialysis care plan for discontinued fluid restrictions for 1 out of resident reviewed for dialysis (Resident #47). Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the facility's policy titled Policy and Procedure: Fluid Restrictions dated 08/07/20, included the following: Fluid restrictions may be utilized to assist in controlling body fluid balance, when a resident's clinical condition warrants. Fluid is only restricted when clinically necessary, and for a limited time, when possible, to preserve resident quality of life. A specific physician's order for the amount of fluids to be provided in a 24-hour period is required. When an order is received for fluid restriction, the dietary manager or dietician confers with the nursing department to determine how much fluid each department is to provide. This is based on the number of medications ordered, as well as the total fluid volume permitted. The Food Service Manager or Dietician visits the resident to obtain preferred fluid information, to make the restriction as acceptable as possible. This is entered into the computer so that the specific fluid amounts are printed on the resident's tray cards. The need for fluid restriction is reviewed periodically by the physician, dietician, and nursing staff. When at all possible, this restriction is liberalized or discontinued, to promote optimal compliance and the highest practicable quality of life. Fluid restrictions are care planned by the interdisciplinary team. Review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, with a revised date of December 2016, included the following: A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs developed and implemented for each resident.

New weight and dietary interventions discussed. Recommend continue current dietary interventions: Discontinue fluid restriction In an observation conducted on 12/06/22 at 7:50 AM, Resident #47 was noted in the room with the breakfast tray on her side table. Closer observation showed a meal ticket with the following: 4 ounces of apple juice, fried eggs, 8 ounces coffee, Mighty shake 60 ml and a Renal diet with Fluid restriction of 1200 cc and D:720. The tray consisted of 4 ounces of juice, 8 ounces of milk, and 6 ounces of coffee. Resident #47 was eating on her own in the room with no assistance from staff. Continued observation at 8:10 AM showed that she only ate 20% of her meal with no assistance from staff. In an observation conducted on 12/06/22 at 12:08, Resident #47 was noted in the dining room with the lunch tray. Closer observation showed a meal/tray ticket with the following: Renal, lunch with fluid restriction of 1200 milliliter (ml), dietary (D):720 mls. It showed 120 ml of Apple juice and 120 ml of soup and cream soup or broth only. The tray had 4 ounces of apple juice and 120 ml of soup. During an interview conducted on 12/07/22 at 12:08 PM with the Registered Dietician. When asked about what a renal diet includes as far as restrictions, she stated that a renal diet should be lower in potassium, and we do not add any sodium. She stated that if a resident has a physician's order for fluid restriction, the nurse will verbally inform her of the order and it is her responsibility to break down the total fluid restriction to indicate how much fluids the resident should receive for meals, for nursing and this is further broken down by the shift as well and this is written as an order. Once the order is written for the breakdown of the fluid restriction, she then verbally provides this information to the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), who in turn ensures that the fluid restriction breakdown is on the meal tickets for the resident. When the RD was asked to explain a meal ticket for Resident #47, she immediately stated that the resident has not been on the fluid restrictions for months. When it was brought to the RD attention that Resident #47 meals/meal tickets are still following the fluid restrictions that were discontinued on 03/17/22, she stated that the fluid restrictions should have been taken off and agreed that Resident #47 has been receiving very few fluids even though the fluid restrictions are not in place at this time. She explained that when nursing receives an order to discontinue fluid restrictions, the nursing staff will inform the RD who turn informs the CDM to remove the fluid restrictions from the meal tickets for the resident. When asked about communication between the facility and the dialysis center, she stated that the facility nursing staff and the dialysis center nursing staff communicate with a Dialysis Communication Form, (these are uploaded into the resident's EMAR) and she does not review any of these documents. She stated that she speaks directly to the dietician at the dialysis center usually every 2 weeks, to discuss weights, labs, diet, and fluid restrictions. She does not always document her discussion that she has with the dietician from the dialysis center, but if she does document the conversation it is documented, under nutrition risk evaluation and a dietary progress note.
