This deficient practice had a potential of not knowing the root cause of residents' injury and in a delay of an onsite inspection by the Department of Public Health to ensure the safety of the other residents and to ensure the fall incident was investigated timely. Findings: a. A review of Resident 21's Admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on November 26, 2015 and readmitted on November 18, 2018 with diagnoses that include, but not limited to fracture of the right femur, status post hip replacement (replacing the damaged joint surface and replaces it with an artificial implant. A review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated September 4, 2018, indicated the resident has severe cognitive impairment (mental process of thinking and understanding) for daily decision making, able to sometimes make self understood and sometimes understands others. Resident 12 needs one person physical assistance with transfers, toilet use and personal hygiene.

The assessment states that a score of 10 or above represents a high risk for falls. A record review of the Incident Report dated November 9, 2018 states that Certified Nurses Aid 2 (CNA 2) transferred Resident 21 from bed onto the shower chair as a one person assist. No verbalization from resident of bowel urgency. Once transferred to the chair resident was noted to be attempting to stand from sitting position. CNA 2 reminded resident to sit back down and gently assisted her onto the shower chair. Resident 21 then began to cause her body to get ridged as CNA 2 was instructing resident to sit back down. Resident leaned forward to the right of the shower chair causing it to tilt to the right which in turn resulted in a fall. During an interview on March 6, 2019 at 10:35 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that Certified Nurses Aid 2 (CNA 2) informed her that they had transferred the resident to the shower chair. CNA 2 alleges that she saw the resident attempting to get up causing the chair to tilt to the right. As a result Resident 1 fell with the shower chair. CNA 2 states she was unable to catch Resident 21 due to the events happening so fast. A record review of the of the SBAR (Situation, background, appear and review) communication form dated November 9, 2018 indicated that after the fall Resident 21 sustained a right eyebrow skin tear and complained of right hip pain. A record review of the of the radiology report of the x-radiation of the right hip (imaging that creates pictures of inside the body) service date of November 9, 2018 states that Resident 21 sustained a femoral neck fracture (thigh bone break) FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: VBJS11 Facility ID: CA920000055 If continuation sheet 14 of 67 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

A review of the admission record indicated Resident 37 was admitted on December 14, 2014 with diagnoses including but not limited to chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) and obesity. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and care screening tool) dated January 17, 2019, indicated Resident 37's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions making were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 37 did not walk in the room or hallway, did not transfer from bed to chair and required extensive assistance for dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 37 had limitation in ROM in both legs. A review of Resident 37's care plan initiated in July 19, 2018 indicated the resident was at risk for further functional decline related to impaired mobility and joint limitations per joint mobility assessment.

RNA 1 started by holding the residents left leg and performing the exercises. RNA 1 stated he did the same exercises in the same manner every day, three times a week. RNA 1 stated the rehab department taught him how to perform ROM exercises. RNA 1 repeated that he would start by holding the resident's leg and ask the resident to help while he performs the exercises. On March 8, 2019 at 2:41 during an interview, the Director of Rehab (DOR) stated for AAROM the resident should first attempt performing the exercises before getting assistance from RNA. The DOR stated if the resident cannot complete the full ROM of the joint then the RNA can assist. The DOR stated it would not be accurate to just assist the resident without first asking and instructing the resident to attempt on his own. b.

On March 8, 2019 at 12:46 p.m. during a concurrent record review and interview, the physical therapist (PT 1) stated for gentle stretches the RNA should move the joint up to where there is resistance and hold it there for a bit and then repeat. PT 1 stated gentle stretches may help the resident maintain or increase their ROM and may help prevent a decline. On March 8, 2019 at 12:57 p.m. during an interview, RNA 2 repeated that Resident 68 had orders for PROM for both arm.

On March 5, 2019 at 9:06 a.m. during a concurrent observation and interview the licensed vocational nurse (LVN 4) confirmed Resident 68 was receiving 4 liters of oxygen. LVN 4 stated he had not checked Resident 68 oxygen saturation level. LVN checked Resident 68 medical record and stated the last documentation done at 2:44 a.m. indicated resident was receiving 2 liters of oxygen with an oxygen saturation level of 97 %. LVN 4 stated was not sure why Resident was receiving 4 liters of oxygen and was not sure if the oxygen was increased during the previous shift.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of six sampled residents (Resident 37) was free from a significant medication error. Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) administered a dose of Methadone (medication to treat pain and drug addiction) 20 milligrams (mg) and Norco (medication for pain relief) 10-325 milligrams (mg) at 10:30 a.m., and then again at 12:00 p.m. This deficient practice had the potential to lead to a possible drug overdose. Findings: A review of Resident 37's Admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on July 15, 2014 and readmitted on December 14, 2014. Resident 37's diagnoses included chronic (persistent) pain. A review of Resident 37s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and carescreening tool) dated July 19, 2018 indicated the resident's cognitive ability for daily decisionmaking is intact and the resident has the ability to understand others and make himself understood.

Contents of bubble pack for Norco showed 10 tablets remaining. When reviewing the Controlled Drug Record (a chart log to keep record of the remaining doses of a medication) for Norco 10-325mg, it indicated that 11 tablets should be remaining inside the bubble pack. Contents of bubble pack for Methadone showed 10 tablets remaining. When reviewing the Controlled Drug Record for Methadone 10 mg tablets, it indicated that 12 tablets should be remaining inside the bubble pack instead or 10 tablets. During an interview with LVN 3 on March 6, 2019 at 11:53 a.m., LVN 3 stated that the bubble packs for Norco and Methadone and the Controlled Drug Record did not match. LVN 3 stated he dispensed the medication and left the 1:00 p.m. dose for Resident 37 at the residents bedside at 10:30 a.m. LVN 3 stated no medication is to be left at a resident's bedside unattended.
