This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure consents for treatment and services are obtained from competent residents who were determined by the physician to have the capacity to make informed decisions about their care for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 8). This had the potential to result in inappropriate care and services for the resident. Findings: During an observation on 10/12/17 at 5:33 p.m., Resident 8 was in his wheelchair having dinner in the hallway. When asked for the date and location Resident 8 was unable to answer. The clinical record for Resident 8 was reviewed on 10/13/17. The Admission Record (face sheet) indicated resident was admitted to the facility on 10/8/14 and readmitted on 2/28/17, with diagnosis of schizophrenia (a long-lasting and reoccurring mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions).

A review of the History and Physical, dated 3/1/17 indicated Resident 8 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. The monthly recapitulation of the physicians orders dated 10/1/17 to 10/31/17, indicated psychotherapeutic medications were ordered for Resident 8. The physician's orders indicated to administer the following: Ativan 1 milligram (mg) orally as needed every six hours for anxiety disorder, since 2/28/17. Seroquel 50 mg orally at bedtime for schizophrenia, since 5/9/17. Risperdal 2 mg orally for schizophrenia manifested by resisting care, since 2/28/17. The medication consent forms dated 11/16/16 and 5/9/17, reflected that the resident's physician informed Resident 8 about the psychotropic medications that he would be giving. The resident, a physician, and a nurse from the facility signed this form. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 10/13/17 at 5:41 PM, she reviewed Resident 8's medical record and verified Resident 8 did not have the capacity to make informed decision and the consents should not have been signed by the resident. The DON further stated the bioethics committee should have meet to discuss the treatment for Resident 8.

Investigate Resident 14's alleged verbal abuse by CNA 2 which occurred on 8/1/17. 2. Take necessary steps to prevent recurrence of the alleged verbal abuse. Resident 14 notified the facility on 8/1/17 CNA 2 had used foul language (bad words) when providing care to her which made her feel threatened and requested Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 2) not to be assigned to her care and not to come in Resident 14's room. The facility staff (CNA 2) continued to come in Resident 14's room taking care of Resident 14's roommates. On 8/26/17, CNA 2 was slamming doors in Resident 14's room which resulted in an altercation between Resident 14 and CNA 2. The altercation was overheard by LVN 2.

A review of Resident 14's Admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 5/10/12 and readmitted 1/17/15, with diagnoses that included legally blind and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD/when the kidneys are no longer able to remove the excess waste and water from the body). The Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized assessment and care planning tool, dated 8/22/17, indicated Resident 14 scored 15 on the brief interview for mental status (BIMS, a score of 15 means no cognitive impairment) and required limited assistance in activities of daily living. A review of the Interdisciplinary Progress Notes, dated 8/26/17 at 10:48 p.m., indicated Resident 14 requested not to assign CNA 2 to care for her. The note further indicated Resident 14 had an altercation with CNA 2 in the morning of 8/26/17, and Resident 14 felt threatened for her safety and security. The Ombudsman was contacted and a voice message was left. A review of the Report of Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse (SOC 341) dated 8/28/17, indicated on 8/26/17, around 10:00 a.m., Resident 14 alleged that CNA 2 yelled at her the morning of 8/26/17.

During an interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2), on 10/14/17 at 10:35 a.m., when asked about the incident on 8/26/17, LVN 2 stated he heard a loud noise and Resident 14 yelling. LVN 2 further stated he went to Resident 14's room to see why the resident was yelling. LVN 2 stated Resident 14 was upset and told LVN 2, CNA 2 was slamming doors and scared her. Resident 14 asked CNA 2 to stop and that was when CNA 2 yelled back at Resident 14. LVN 2 stated he separated CNA 2 from Resident 14 because it was a form of verbal abuse. During an interview with Resident 14, on 10/14/17, at 1:00 p.m., when asked about the incident she stated she had told the facility's staff she did not want CNA 2 as her CNA early in the month of August (8/1/17). Resident 14 stated she reported to the Director of Staff Development (DSD), CNA 2 would enter her room and would address her using foul language such as "Mrs ... how the F*** are you today?). And she didn't have to deal with that type of treatment. Resident 14 further stated CNA 2 was a "young at risk kid" and didn't have to deal with his behavior and felt threatened due to her blindness and uncertainty of not knowing what to expect from a person with that behavior. When asked if she was okay with the CNA coming into her room to care for the other two residents (RSR 19 and 21) in her room, Resident 14 responded "I preferred him (CNA 2) not to come in," she further stated she was told the "facility was short of staff."

When asked if CNA 2 was still assigned to Resident 14's room after the report she stated "Yes". There was no evidence the facility staff investigated Resident 14's allegation of verbal abuse after it was reported on 8/1/17. A review of the assignment sheet from 8/1/17 to 8/25/17 indicated CNA 2 continued to come in Resident 14's room to care for the roommates (RSR 19 and 21) on 8/7/17 and 8/25/17. A review of the undated facility's policy and procedure titled "Policy and Procedure on The Prevention of Resident abuse," indicated the facility shall institute procedures of identifying events that constitute abuse and shall make reasonable efforts to protect residents from harm during the investigation process.
