The resident has the right to exercise his or her rights as a resident of the facility and as a citizen or resident of the United States. §483.10(b)(1) The facility must ensure that the resident can exercise his or her rights without interference, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal from the facility. §483.10(b)(2) The resident has the right to be free of interference, coercion, discrimination, and reprisal from the facility in exercising his or her rights and to be supported by the facility in the exercise of his or her rights as required under this subpart. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, and interview, the staff failed to provide full bodily privacy during a bed bath by not drawing the privacy curtain for one of 15 residents (4), who needed assistance with bathing, was not visually exposed to others. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 4 to loose dignity and cause psychosocial harm from being visually exposed.

During an observation on 2/8/20 at 9:46 a.m. certified nursing assistant (CNA 10) was giving Resident 4 a bed bath, however, the privacy curtains were not fully drawn next to the doorway, to provide total privacy. Resident 4 was completely visible from the hallway where the privacy curtain was not fully drawn. During an interview on 2/8/20 at 2:15 p.m. CNA 10 acknowledged she should have ensured the privacy curtains were fully drawn because it was Resident 4's right to be treated with dignity and to have full bodily privacy while receiving a bed bath. A review of the facility's policy titled "Residents Rights", revised 8/15/18 indicated that employees shall treat all residents with kindness, respect and dignity.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide the right size shower chair to transfer one of 15 residents (44), who was morbidly obese (excessive body fat), and needed assistance with transferring, to the shower room. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 44, who wished to take a shower, had not taken a shower since admission because the facility did not have the right size shower chair, which could result in body odor, skin breakdown, and low self-esteem. Findings: A review of the admission records indicated Resident 44 was admitted with diagnoses that included major depressive disorder (a mental disorder characterized by a long-term loss of pleasure or interest in life, often with other symptoms such as disturbed sleep, feelings of guilt or inadequacy, and suicidal thoughts), and morbidly obesity. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized assessment and care planning tool dated 1/16/20, indicated Resident 44 was cognitively intact and required a one to two person assistance with activities of daily living such as transferring and showering.

CNA 2 stated she always gave him bed baths instead of taking him to the shower room. During an interview on 2/9/20 at 10:32 a.m. director of staff development acknowledged the facility should be able to accommodate Resident 44's to have the right size shower chair, which was the resident's right to take a shower, especially if it was his preference.

A review of Resident 13's history and physical assessment form dated 7/20/19 indicated Resident 13 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized assessment and care screening tool dated 11/28/19, indicated Resident 13 had no impairment with cognitive (ability to think and understand) skills for daily decision making, and was totally dependent on staff for activities of daily living. Resident 13 required a mechanical lift for transfers using the assistance of two staff members. A review of the licensed nurse's notes dated 10/14/19 at 6:30 a.m., indicated Resident 13's right hand and finger was reported swollen. The interventions included to elevate the hand with pillow while sleeping in bed. The nurse's note indicated Resident 13's hand was tender to touch.

On 02/09/20 at 7:59 a.m., during an interview with the Resident 13, regarding the fracture that sustained on 10/14/19, the resident could not describe why the right 5th finger was fractured. During interview Resident 13 denied hitting his hands on the side rails. On 02/9/20 at 2:35 p.m., during an interview with a certified nursing assistant (CNA 3) stated Resident 13 had episodes of not wanting to go back to bed and would attempt to punch or hit staff. CNA 3 stated on 10/14/19, she was off, but when she came back to work, she saw Resident 13's swollen right hand. CNA 3 stated she reported Resident 13's swollen right hand to the charge nurse. CNA 3 stated the charge nurse immediately assessed Resident 13. However, when asked about investigating the incident, CNA 3 stated the DON or Administrator did not interview her about Resident 13's swollen right hand. On 02/09/20 at 7:58 a.m., during an interview with Director of the Staff Development (DSD), stated he was aware Resident 13 had a swollen right hand but the cause was not known.

Ensuring separate wash cloths were used and water was changed after washing potentially soiled body parts. 3. Ensuring underarms, back, perinea area,, thigh, feet, and toes were washed, and dried well. 4. Ensuring Resident 15's body was not exposed during the entire bed bath. These deficient practices of not following the facility's bed bath policy and procedures, and not following infection control standard precautions (are a set of infection control practices used to prevent transmission of diseases that can be acquired by contact with blood, body fluids, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes), had the potential of exposing Resident 15, and at risk for body odor, urinary tract infection ([UTI] infection of the bladder), and poor wound healing.

CNA 1 did not apply lotion to Resident 15's body. CNA 1 did not change gloves, did not wash hands the bed bath. CNA 1 then put clothing on the resident, before placing the resident into a wheelchair. Resident 15 was also exposed during the entire bed bath. A review of Resident 15's admission form indicated the resident was admitted on 9/4/19 with diagnoses that included bacterial infection of the blood, and pressure ulcers stage 4 (are localized areas of tissue necrosis that typically develop when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a long period of time). A review of Resident 15's History and Physical examination form dated 9/18/19 indicated the resident did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized assessment and care screening tool dated 12/9/2019, indicated the resident cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired, and the resident required total dependence from staff with activities of daily living (ADLs).

On 02/09/20 at 01:47 p.m.,during an interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated the proper procedure for a bed bath included the use of two basins with water, wash cloths, towels, soap and water and change of clothes or gowns. The DSD stated the procedure required the resident be cleaned from the cleanest part to the dirtiest part of the body, which meant starting from the face downwards. The DSD stated if cleaning the resident was started from the bottom, the staff should change gloves, change the water in the basins, change washcloths, wash hands, and put on a new set of gloves. The DSD stated the reason for the sequence to the procedures was because of reducing introduction of bacteria or infection if perinea care or private parts, if not dried well after washing with fresh soapy water. The DSD stated the resident had to be covered at all times to ensure privacy during bed baths. A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled "Bed Bath" revised 2/2018, indicated to first wash the resident's face, neck and ears, then the shoulder, armpit, arm, and hand. The policy indicated after laying a towel across the resident's chest, wash the resident's abdomen, then wash the leg and foot, especially the skin between the toes. The policy indicated to repeat for the resident's other leg and foot, and to empty the wash basin and refill with clean warm water.

Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement nursing standards of practice for four of 15 residents (26, 38, 158) by: a. Resident 26, 38, and 158, the medications were documented as administered, prior to administering the pills. b. Resident 26's medications were left at bedside to take later, instead of ensuring the resident took all the pills. These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 26, 38, and 158 clinical records to be inaccurate, when the medications were not observed as taken, before documenting them as taken.

On 2/8/20 at 5:00 p.m. LVN 10 documented medications were administered before she prepared the resident's medication to be administered to Resident 158. During an interview on 2/9/20 at 10:50 a.m., registered nurse (RN 10) acknowledged the correct process for passing medications to the residents was to review the orders, take out the medications, tell the resident why and what type of medications they were getting, before administering their medications. RN 10 stated afterwards it was appropriate to documents the medications as given, or refused, if the resident refused to take them. RN 10 sated it was actually important to monitor the resident's taking their medications, because it was to treat an illness. RN 10 stated it was important to know if the medications were effective and to monitor if the resident was having side effects, or became sick from something else. b.

The facility will conduct an annual review of its IPCP and update their program, as necessary. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a central line (a plastic catheter inserted into a large vein typically in the neck or near the heart for therapeutic medication administration) had a dry, clean dressing that was dated, and the central line port (the end of the catheter [when in use] that is connected to tubing that contains medication) was protected from contamination by placing a cap on it for one of 15 residents (157). These deficient practices had the potential to cause physical harm by introducing bacteria into Resident 157's body, causing further infections. Findings: During observation on 2/8/20 at 9:27 a.m., Resident 157 had a central line to the left upper arm, to deliver antibiotic (medication to fight infection) was covered with a blood-filled dressing, and the dressing had no indication of when it was last changed. The single port of the central line was exposed (uncovered) and was touching Resident 157's pillow.

A review of the admission assessment dated 2/4/20 indicated Resident 157 was alert but confused and required assistance for activities of daily living such as getting dressed, toileting and personal hygiene. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/9/20 at 3:27 p.m. Registered Nurse (RN 10) stated Resident 157's central line dressing should have been changed since it was soiled with blood. RN 10 also stated the port should have been capped to protect Resident 157 from further infections. According to an undated facility's policy titled "Central Access Guidelines and Procedures" indicated the facility should provide an assessment and monitoring period following insertion of central venous access devices to detect and intervene in potential complications arising. The policy indicated the licensed nurse shall observe the exit site (of the catheter) for excessive bleeding or hematoma (bleeding under the skin), and bruising.
