develop a plan of care to address a resident's
risk for elopement (to flee or to run away
secretly) and provide adequate supervision for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 1).
Resident 1, who had a high risk for elopement
and was deaf (unable to hear), mute (nonverbal), left the facility unsupervised. Resident
1 was found eight (8) and half hours later, 4.2
miles away from the facility at a bus stop by the
police.
This deficient practice, of the facility not
providing Resident 1 adequate supervision
resulted in the resident leaving the facility
unsupervised. Resident 1, who was deaf and
mute, was at risk for injuries and accidents
while out of the facility unsupervised. Resident
1 did not receive his evening gastrostomy tube
([GT] a tube inserted surgically through the
abdomen for nutrition and hydration directly
into the stomach) feeding or medications as
prescribed by the physician for over 8 hours.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Admission Face Sheet
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 8/27/17. Resident 1's diagnoses
included deafness and mute, dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing) with a gastrostomy tube
([GT] a tube inserted surgically through the
abdomen for nutrition and hydration directly
into the stomach), dementia (a decline in
mental ability severe enough to interfere with
daily life and functioning), difficulty in walking,
with ataxia (the loss of full control of bodily
movements).
A review of Resident 1's quarterly Minimum
Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment and
care screening tool, dated 10/23/17, indicated
Resident 1 had memory problems, impaired
