On 05/21/19 at 11:59 a.m., During an interview, the director of nursing (DON) stated, facility concluded Resident 3's swelling on right upper arm, skin discoloration on right inner upper arm (right shoulder fracture) occurred as a result of aging processes related to osteoporosis (porous bone), which was unavoidable, and was not an abuse. DON further stated, Resident 3 had a physician order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) which indicated, "do not transfer to the hospital," which was why the resident was not transferred to the hospital for further evaluation of the fracture. When asked to provide documented evidence to show how the facility thoroughly investigated Resident 3's fractured arm in order to determine the incident was ruled out as abuse, the DON stated she could not produce documented investigation that involved interviews, observation, and training once the investigation was done. On 05/21/19 at 12:59 p.m., during an interview, CNA 3 acknowledged Resident 3 had to be transferred using a mechanical lift with the assistant of another person. When asked how Resident 3 was transferred from bed to a shower chair, CNA 3 stated she was facing the resident, placed her arms underneath both of the resident's underarms, lifted the resident, pivoted, and then sat the resident on the shower chair.

The deficient practice of failing to accurately account for the use of controlled substances increases the risk of availability of medications for the facility's residents when needed and also put the facility at increased risk for the potential loss, diversion (transfer of a medication from a legal to an illegal use), or accidental exposure to controlled substances. Findings: a. On 5/22/19 at 2:51 p.m., Resident 61 was observed in the toilet with Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA 2). RNA 2 stated the resident was unable to transfer from her wheelchair to the toilet without assistance. On 5/22/19 at 4:16 p.m., during an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3), stated she was coming into the beginning of her shift on 1/11/19 when Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA 9) reported she found Resident 61 on the floor beside her bed. LVN 3 stated when she entered the resident's room, she found the resident sitting on the floor mat, on the floor beside her bed. LVN 3 stated the resident was assessed and no injuries were found.

F756 05/21/2019 §483.45(c) Drug Regimen Review. §483.45(c)(1) The drug regimen of each resident must be reviewed at least once a month by a licensed pharmacist. §483.45(c)(2) This review must include a review of the resident's medical chart. §483.45(c)(4) The pharmacist must report any irregularities to the attending physician and the facility's medical director and director of nursing, and these reports must be acted upon. (i) Irregularities include, but are not limited to, any drug that meets the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of this section for an unnecessary drug. (ii) Any irregularities noted by the pharmacist during this review must be documented on a separate, written report that is sent to the attending physician and the facility's medical director and director of nursing and lists, at a minimum, the resident's name, the relevant drug, and the irregularity the pharmacist identified. (iii) The attending physician must document in the resident's medical record that the identified irregularity has been reviewed and what, if any, action has been taken to address it.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the physician responded to recommendations from the consultant pharmacist either to agree and take action or to disagree and provide clinical rationale for one of 10 sampled residents (30). The deficient practice of failing to ensure the attending physician responded to recommendations from the consultant pharmacist increased the risk that Residents 30 and 101 could receive medication therapy that was not optimal to treat their medical conditions or that did not meet the standard of care resulting in a potential negative impact to their health and well-being. Findings: On 05/22/19 at 02:59 PM, during a record review, Resident 30's clinical record indicated that she was originally admitted to the facility on 3/20/15 with diagnoses including, but not limited to: anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), dementia (a FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 7PBE11 Facility ID: CA940000011 If continuation sheet 43 of 78 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.

The order did not specify a duration of therapy or a stop date. A review of the consultant pharmacist's recommendation to the prescribing physician dated 4/29/19 indicated that because the order for lorazepam was to be given as needed (PRN or not taken on a regularly scheduled basis) and because lorazepam was considered a psychotropic medication (any medication that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behaviors), the order should be limited to 14 days or if needed for longer, the order should specify the total duration of therapy with appropriate clinical rationale provided. A review of Resident 30's clinical record indicated that the physician had not responded to the consultant pharmacist's recommendation either to agree or disagree. On 05/22/19 at 04:05 PM, during an interview, the director of nursing (DON) stated a PRN order for lorazepam should be limited to 14 days only. The DON stated since Resident 30's lorazepam was started on 4/17/19 with no stop date, it had been in effect longer than 14 days.
