Resident 141's bedside commode was stored in the restroom. This deficient practice had the potential for the resident to not make it to the restroom in time and also placed the resident at risk for falls. Findings: A review of Resident 141's Admission Record, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 9/4/18, with diagnoses that included history of falling and dementia (is the name for a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain, it is not a specific disease). A review of Resident 141's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and carescreening tool), dated 12/3/18, indicated that the resident usually made self-understood or understood others and had severe impairment of cognitive skills (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) and required extensive assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provided weightbearing support) from staff for transferring, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene.

FM 1 also stated, the resident's bedside table was kept at the foot of the bed and it would hit the resident's privacy curtain. FM 1 stated, that Resident 141 used to be in a two-bed room and had more space and did not understand why Resident 141 was moved into a four-bed room. FM 1 stated, that she was not asked for consent for the move and was told that they were moving Resident 141. Resident 141 had three other resident's sharing the room and the resident's bedside commode was stored in the restroom. During an interview and concurrent record review, on 12/20/18, at 1:44 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, that Resident 141 was originally in a two-bed room. The DON stated, that Resident 141's Social Service note dated 11/21/18, indicated the resident was moved to Room 425 D and no indication of why the resident was moved. The DON stated, that the facility needed to notify the resident and/or representative, of the room change and provide a reason for the room change in advance. The DON stated, that the facility should try not to change the resident's room because it could cause the resident to be disoriented. During a follow up interview and concurrent record review, on 12/20/18, at 2 p.m., the DON stated, that there was no documentation indicating the resident and/or representative was given written notice of the room change in advance.

F641 01/17/2019 §483.20(g) Accuracy of Assessments. The assessment must accurately reflect the resident's status. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 30 sampled residents (Resident 12) was coded accurately on the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care-screening tool) Under Section O (Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs) for hospice care (provides medical services, emotional support, and spiritual resources for people who are in the last stages of a terminal illness). This deficient practice had the potential for the resident to not receive appropriate treatment and/or services.

A review of Resident 12's MDS dated 9/19/18, indicated the resident usually made selfunderstood or understood others and had severe impairment of cognitive skills (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) and required limited assistance (resident highly involved in activity; staff provide guided maneuvering of limbs or other non-weight bearing assistance) from staff for transferring, dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. Under Section O, the resident was marked for dialysis (a process in which a machine helps filter your blood to rid your body of harmful wastes, extra salt, and water) and not hospice. During an interview and concurrent record review, on 12/19/18, at 2:31 p.m., the MDS Nurse (MDSN) stated, Resident 12's MDS was incorrectly coded and should have indicated hospice instead of dialysis. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the resident was never on dialysis. A review of the facility undated policy and procedure titled, "Policy/Procedure-Nursing Administration," indicated that the licensed nurse was responsible for compiling all resident information ensuring all information was entered accurately into each resident's database.

For Resident 105, there was no plan of care developed for the use of 1/4 bilateral bed rails. This had the potential risk for injury from inadequate care for the use of the bed rails. Findings: A review of the Admission Record for Resident 105, indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility on 10/8/13, and readmitted on 3/21/18, with diagnoses which included generalized muscle weakness and dementia (a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life). A review of the latest Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 11/19/18, indicated Resident 105 usually had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The MDS also indicated resident required extensive assistance from staff for most of his activities for daily living (ADL). A review of Resident 105's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 11/13/18, for the use of 1/4 bed rails in bed as an enabler to assist the resident in turning and repositioning.

Ensure Resident 99's PI care plan was specific for the location and staging (description of the pressure injury) of the PI. These deficient practices placed Resident 99's at risk of developing additional PIs, delay healing and worsening of the PI. Findings: A review of Resident 99's Admission Record dated 12/21/18, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 6/4/18 and readmitted on 11/5/18, with diagnoses that included dementia (decline of memory and other mental abilities) and cachexia (loss of weight with weakness). A review of Resident 99's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment and carescreening tool, dated 11/12/18, indicated the resident had cognitive (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 99 required extensive assistance (staff provided support with bearing weight, at times full staff performance of activity) from staff with activities of daily living ([ADLs] such as dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, and bed mobility) and had application of medication for a skin condition.

A review of the skin pressure ulcer weekly assessment dated 12/4/18, indicated on 11/27/18, Resident 99 developed a Stage II, PI (loss of the skin with exposure to underlying tissue) to the coccyx area. A review of Resident 99's care plan for potential of pressure ulcer development dated 11/14/18 and 12/20/18, both care plans failed to indicate the location and staging for the PI. Both care plans included the interventions to off load heels while in bed and to provide/monitor the treatment for the wound. During an observation on 12/21/18, at 9:07 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) verified Resident 99 had pillows to the right side of the body and was facing the window. Upon removal of the blankets, Resident 99's feet were observed directly on the air mattress and the left heel had a healed dark discoloration.

RN 1 further verified on the Treatment Administration Record for 12/2018, there was no documentation that Resident 99's treatments had been done 12/11/18, 12/12/18, 12/15/18, and 12/18/18 during the evening shift. The boxes were blank with no initials or codes to indicate the treatments had been done. During an interview and concurrent record review on 12/21/18, at 10:10 a.m., the Treatment Nurse (TN) stated, Resident 99 has an on and off coccyx PI due to limited mobility. The TN verified the only place nurses document when treatment orders are done was on the Point Click Care (PCC/electronic medical record) TAR (Treatment Administration Record). The TN verified the treatments for Resident 99's evening shift were not done on 12/11/18, 12/12/18, 12/15/18, and 12/18/18. The TN further stated the risk when treatments are not done was for the wound to worsen. During an interview on 12/21/18, at 11:56 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) verified she was aware of Resident 99's open wound during the skin check and concerned that the treatments were not done for four days.

Resident 105, who was observed with bilateral 1/4 bed rails up while in bed, was not assessed for the risk of entrapment from the bed rails. This had the potential risk for injury from using these bed rails. Findings: A review of the Admission Record for Resident 105, indicated resident was originally admitted to the facility on 10/8/13, and readmitted on 3/21/18, with diagnoses which included generalized muscle weakness and dementia (a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life). A review of the latest Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 11/19/18, indicated Resident 105 usually had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The MDS also indicated resident required extensive assistance from staff for most of his activities for daily living (ADL). A review of Resident 105's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 11/13/18, for the use of 1/4 bed rails in bed as an enabler to assist resident in turning and repositioning. Further review of the clinical record for Resident 105, indicated there was no assessment for the risk of entrapment done prior to the use of the 1/4 bed rails to identify potential injury for its use.

This deficient practice would not promote highest well-being of Resident 99 and was not consistent with the professional standards of practice. Findings: A review of Resident 99's Face Sheet (admission record), dated 12/21/18, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 6/4/18, and readmitted on 11/5/18, with diagnoses that included dementia (decline of memory and other mental abilities) and cachexia (loss of weight with weakness). A review of Resident 99's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment and carescreening tool, dated 11/12/18, indicated the resident had cognitive (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 99 required extensive assistance (staff provided support with bearing weight, at times full staff performance of activity) from staff with activities of daily living ([ADLs] such as dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, and bed mobility) and requiring an application of medication for a skin condition.

The boxes were blank with no initials or codes. During an interview with the Treatment Nurse (TN) on 12/21/18 at 10:10 a.m., stated Resident 99 has an on and off coccyx PI due to limited mobility. During a concurrent record review, the TN verified that the only place nurses document when treatment orders were provided was on the Point Click Care (PCC/electronic medical record) TAR. The TN verified that the TAR, dated 12/1/18-12/31/18, indicated the wound treatments for Resident 99 were not provided on the evening shift on 12/11/18, 12/12/18, 12/15/18 and 12/18/18. The TN stated the boxes were blank. The TN stated when treatments were not provided, the higher the risk for the wound to worsen. During an interview on 12/21/18 at 11:56 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she was aware of Resident 99's open wound during the skin check and concern with treatments not done for four days.

The documentation on the TAR were documented as initials and did not indicate a late entry. During an interview on 12/21/18 at 12:19 p.m., the QAN stated her role was to identify "gaps" in the documentation when she does the audits. QAN stated if the nurses miss something such as checking for low air loss mattress, pad alarms or giving medications, she verifies with the nurse that was assigned to follow the order. The QAN provided the example of medication administration by stating that she checks with the assigned nurse the bubble pack of the medication to verify if the medication was given. When asked if she checked with the nurse that was assigned to do the treatment on 12/11/18, 12/12/18, 12/15/18 and 12/18/18, she stated no.

The QAN stated she was in her office and did not know what was going on, all she knows was that, "it was her job to fill in the gaps." QAN verified she failed to follow her knowledge that she was required to verify with the charge nurse if the treatment was provided prior to initialing.
