maintenance services necessary to maintain a
sanitary, orderly, and comfortable interior.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to maintain three
residents' bathrooms that were shared among
six residents and two of the two shower rooms
in good repair, and the outside patio free from
clutter.
This deficient practice had the potential to
affect resident quality of life and sense of home
and potentially cause psycho- social harm.
Findings:
Upon entry to the facility on 11/18/16 at 7:09
p.m., observed the outside patio being used as
an open air storage with four gray trashcans
with lids, 4 yellow trashcans with lids, 1 pallet
with office supplies on it, 1 gray trashcan with a
rake inside of it, broom and dustpan leaning
against the wall, one clean looking bedside
commode, and two wheelchairs, all obstructing
twenty percent of the encircling, cemented
walkway of the outside patio.
During an observation of the facility in the
presence of the Director of Nursing (DON) on
11/18/16 at 7: 30 p.m. the following was
observed:
1. Shared resident bathroom for Rooms 1 and
3 affecting residents in 1-A, 1-B, 3-A, and 3-B
with broken tile on the window pane.
2. Shared resident bathroom for Rooms 2 and
4 affecting residents in 2-A, 2-B, 4-A, and 4-B
with broken tile on the window pane.

with broken tile on the window pane.
During multiple observations of the patio on
11/19/16, 11/20/16, and 11/21/16, the patio
clutter was observed ongoing throughout the
day.
During an interview with the Maintenance
Supervisor (MS) on 11/21/16 at 11:42 a.m., he
stated the patio is always filled with that stuff,
referring to the clutter. The MS stated that he
does not visit the facility daily, has no
documentation for the visits he makes to the
facility when he does visit, or the environmental
rounds he makes when he is in the facility, and
was not aware of any ongoing housekeeping or
maintenance issues at the facility at that
present time.
A review of the facility policy on Maintenance
Service, revised December 2009 indicated
maintenance supervisor is responsible for
maintaining the buildings, grounds, and
equipment in a safe operable manner at all
times and maintain the building in compliance
with current federal, state, and local laws,
regulations, and guidelines.

must provide the necessary care and services
to attain or maintain the highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being,
in accordance with the comprehensive
assessment and plan of care.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to conduct an interdisciplinary
team (IDT, a group consisting of the head of
the different departments who work together to
discuss a resident's care) care conference after
a significant change in resident's condition
wherein the resident had fallen secondary to
seizure (Resident 1), review and revise the
care plan pertaining to fall and seizure
(Resident 1 and 8) and failed to monitor the
resident for seizure activity (Resident 9) for
three out of nine residents with seizure disorder
[a neurological condition where the brain
electrical nerve activity is disturbed causing a
person to have uncontrollable body movement
and loss of consciousness, also known as
convulsions, or can present unnoticed with the
person looking as though they are staring into
space and falls]).
These deficient practices had the potential to
predispose Residents 1, 8, and 9 to seizure/fall
incidents. Resident 1 sustained a head injury
from a fall due to seizure and was transferred
to the hospital. Upon return to the facility,
Resident 1 had abnormally low lab level of
Dilantin (medication to treat seizure), placing
Resident 1 at risk to have another fall. (Cross
Refer F-323, F-507)
The facility also failed to adequately assess
pain for one of 10 sampled residents (Resident
8). This deficient practice had the potential to

and were fully implemented.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set,
([MDS], a resident assessment and care
screening tool), dated on 10/4/16, indicated
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
10/4/16, with a history of Seizure Disorder.
Resident 1's MDS identified her as having no
hearing, speech, or vision problems, had
moderate cognitive impairment (moderate
amount of difficult remembering, focusing, and
concentrating), no mood problems, and
required limited assistance (staff provided
guided maneuvering of limbs or other nonweight bearing assistance) with one staff
physical assist with transferring, walking,
getting around the facility, toilet use, and
personal hygiene.

Phenytoin, in liquid form 250 milligrams (mg)
orally twice a day.
According to Pfizer (2016) pharmaceutical
company the manufacturer of Dilantin,
indicated Dilantin is a prescription medicine
used to treat seizures and prevent seizures that
happen during or after brain surgery and
careful monitoring of phenytoin serum levels
should be carried out by your doctor to
determine optimal dosage adjustments.
Phenytoin doses are usually selected to attain
therapeutic plasma total phenytoin
concentrations of 10 to 20 micrograms per
milliliters (mcg/mL). Dilantin blood drug level
results are used to individualize the Dilantin
drug amount to be given in order to be within a
safe level, or therapeutic range, to maintain the
person's risk for seizing as low as possible. A
therapeutic drug blood level has a Narrow
Therapeutic Index ([NTI], in which the
therapeutic dose is very close to the toxic
dose). Dilantin therapeutic normal range level
is 10.0 mcg/mL to 20.0 mcg/mL. Dilantin
Toxicity is when the Dilantin blood drug level is
above the normal range of 20 mcg/mL and
symptoms lead to dizziness, drowsiness,
confusion, lack of coordination, and coma.
A review of Resident 1's physician's order,
dated 10/25/16, indicated to draw serum
(blood) Dilantin every month on the 4th
Wednesday starting 10/26/16. Resident 1's
laboratory test results on 10/26/16, indicated
Resident 1's Dilantin level was 9.6 mcg/mL
(normal range is 10.0 mcg/mL to 20.0 mcg/mL),
placing Resident 1 at risk for seizures/fall. The
laboratory report indicated the physician was
notified and without new orders.
During an interview with LVN 2 on 11/20/16 at
6:15 a.m., LVN 2 stated she was unaware of
Resident 1's low lab Dilantin level of 10/26/16.

3:10 p.m., LVN 3 stated she was unaware of
Resident 1's low lab Dilantin level of 10/26/16.
A review of Resident 1's nurses' progress notes
indicated Resident 1 fell on 11/9/16 at 4:50
a.m. Resident 1 was found in the hallway,
unwitnessed, with a bleeding cut to the
forehead, agitated, anxious, and was unable to
verbalize the account of what happened to her
and how she got hurt. Resident 1 was sent to
the hospital and was admitted.
A review of Resident 1's hospital record
indicated Resident 1 arrived to the hospital
emergency department on 11/9/16 and was
found to have a six centimeter (cm) forehead
laceration after a fall related to a seizure. Upon
arrival to the emergency department, Resident
1 had repair to her forehead laceration, was
given intravenous (IV, given directly into a vein)
fluids, provided anti-seizure medication,
medication for nausea, given oxygen, and she
had a computerized axial tomography scan,
also known as a CAT scan, of the head and
spine (a type of x-ray imaging that views the
area in slices and is able to see inside the
body's bone, organs, arteries and is used in
diagnosing patients). Resident 1 was admitted
to the hospital from 11/9/16 to 11/16/16 and
was diagnosed with a traumatic head injury and
forehead injury after a fall related to a seizure.
A review of Resident 1's physician's orders
indicated Resident 1 was readmitted to the
facility on 11/16/16 from the hospital with a
diagnosis of Seizures with recent fall.
A review of Resident 1's clinical record
indicated there was no documented evidence
the facility conducted an IDT care conference
upon the resident's return to the facility.

but no new orders were received.
During an observation of the licensed
vocational nurse (LVN 2) during a medication
administration for Resident 8 on 11/19/16 at
12:55 p.m., Resident 8 was observed
complaining of lower back pain to LVN 2.
While LVN 2 went to check Resident 8's
medication administration record (log of
physician's orders for residents' medications;
its due times they need to be administered to
keep residents' medication times organized for
nursing staff), Resident 8 was observed
rubbing her right lower back near her hip and
stated while grimacing, "It hurts right here,"
pointing on her right lower back. A few minutes
later at 1:55 p.m., LVN 2 was observed calling
Resident 8's physician's answering service and
leaving a message regarding Resident 8. At
2:10 p.m., LVN 2 returned back and asked
Resident 8 if she continued to have pain and
Resident 8 said yes. LVN 2 asked Resident 8
what her pain level was according to a numeric
pain scale (zero [0] being no pain and 10 being
the worst pain) then gave Resident 8 her pain
medication. LVN 2 failed to fully assess
Resident 8's lower back pain who had a
significant history of kidney problems.
During an interview with LVN 2 on 11/20/16 at
6:55 a.m., LVN 2 stated when giving pain
medication, a pain assessment is performed
that includes assessing the type of pain, such
as pinching, throbbing, stabbing, or burning,
the frequency of the pain such as is it constant
or intermittent (off and on), location and does it
travel to another area of the body, other
measures besides medication that may work to
ease the pain, duration of pain, and the
residents behavioral symptoms like facial
expressions or rubbing a body part. LVN 2

Urinary Tract Infection, also known as UTI, is a
detectable condition associated with a disease
caused by microorganisms in the urinary
system. UTIs can lead to sepsis (severe
infection that affects multiple organs and can
lead to death), and kidney failure. Common
signs and symptoms of UTIs that indicate need
for treatment include pain to the sides of the
lower back also known as flank pain, urine
characteristics, changes in color, clarity, smell,
sediment, and amount, fever, and mental
changes like confusion.
A review of Resident 8's care plan for
"Alteration in comfort: potential for pain,"
initiated on 10/12/16, indicated staff were to
determine location of pain and assess type of
pain, quality, such as sharp, pounding,
pressing, or radiating, and assess non-verbal
signs and symptoms of pain such as grimaces.
A review of the facility's revised October 2010
"Pain Assessment and Management,"
characteristics of pain include intensity
measured on a standardized scale, such as
numeric scale, descriptors of pain, pattern of
pain, location of pain, radiation of pain,
frequency of pain, timing of pain, and duration
of pain. The policy identified behavioral
characteristics of pain as verbal expressions
like crying, screaming, and groaning, facial
expressions such as grimacing and frowning,
and guarding and or rubbing a particular part of
the body. The policy indicated staff are to
review the resident's clinical record to identify
conditions or situations that predispose the
resident to pain and identified infections and

4. A review of Resident 9's Admission Record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 8/29/16. Resident 9 was admitted
with diagnoses that included convulsions (body
muscles contract and relax rapidly and
repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking
of the body), diabetes (high concentrations of
sugar in the blood).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a
resident assessment and care screening tool,
dated 8/29/16, indicated Resident 9 had
problems making himself-understood, but was
able to understand others and was severely
impaired of cognition. Resident 9 required
limited assistance (staff provided guided
maneuvering of limbs or other non-weight
bearing assistance)
with transfers, ambulation and
hygiene.
A review of Resident 9's physician orders,
dated 8/29/16, indicated an order for Lamictal
(medication used to treat convulsion) 25
milligrams (mg) by mouth every day and to
monitor for seizure (abnormal excessive or
synchronous neuronal activity in the brain)
activity every shift.
A review of Resident 9's care plan titled, "High
risk for injury due to seizure activity," dated
9/2016, indicated for the staff to monitor drug
levels.
A review of Resident 9's assessment flow
sheet for the month of 9/2016, there was no
seizure monitoring. Seizure monitoring was
initiated on 10/26/16, eight weeks after it was
ordered.

A review of Resident 1 ' s face sheet
(admission record) indicate the resident was
admitted to the facility on 10/4/16 with
diagnoses that included seizure disorder (a
neurological condition where the brain electrical
nerve activity is disturbed causing a person's to
have uncontrollable body movement and loss
of consciousness, also known as convulsions).
The resident was hospitalized prior to the
facility ' s admission, from 9/30/16 to 10/4/16
and was found to have Dilantin toxicity (a high
level of Dilantin, a medication used to treat
seizures, in the blood).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set,
(MDS, a comprehensive medical, mental, and
psychosocial standardized assessment and
care planning tool), dated 10/4/16, indicated
that the resident had no hearing, speech, or
vision problems, but had moderate cognitive
impairment (moderate amount of difficult
remembering, focusing, and concentrating).
The resident had no mood problems but
required limited assistance (resident highly
involved in activity; staff provide guided
maneuvering of limbs) with one staff for
physical assist with transferring, walking,
getting around the facility, toilet use, and
personal hygiene.

dated 10/4/16 indicated, that the resident was
at high risk for falls.
A review of Resident 1 ' s fall care plan initiated
on 10/5/16 indicated that the staff will
implement fall precautions and monitor for the
side effects of the medication laboratory (lab)
levels.
A review of Resident 1's seizure precaution
care plan initiated on 10/10/16, indicated the
resident was a high risk for injury due to
seizure activity and use of the medication,
Dilantin. The resident goals included not having
a fall or injury in the next three months and the
Dilantin level would be within normal limits from
10 micrograms (mcg)/milliliters (mL) (the
therapeutic normal range level is 10.0 mcg/mL
to 20.0 mcg/ml). The intervention included but
not limited to implementing the fall and seizure
precautions, such as providing frequent
monitoring and monitoring for the side effects
of the medication lab levels.
A review of Resident 1's lab results, dated
10/26/16, indicated the resident ' s Dilantin
blood level was low or sub-therapeutic, at 9.6
micrograms (mcg)/milliliter (mL), placing the
resident at risk for seizures. The physician did
not give new orders after being informed of the
resident ' s low Dilantin blood level.
Resident 1 ' s medical record did not have
documented evidence the plan of care was

A review of Resident 1's nurse progress notes
indicated that on 11/9/16 at 4:50 a.m., the
resident was found in the hallway of the facility
with a bleeding cut to the forehead, agitated,
anxious, and unable to verbalize the account of
what happened to her and how she got hurt.
The resident was transferred to a GACH that
day.
A review of Resident 1's GACH physician notes
indicated the resident arrived at the emergency
department on 11/9/16 and was found to have
a six centimeter (cm) forehead laceration (deep
cut or tear of the skin) after a fall related to a
seizure. Resident 1 required the emergency
department physician to a repair her forehead
laceration, a hospital staff to insert an
intravenous (IV, within a vein) catheter for fluids
infusion, receive an anti-seizure medication
and medication for nausea, receive oxygen,
and to have a computerized axial tomography
scan, (CAT scan, a type of x-ray imaging of

Resident 1's sub-therapeutic Dilantin blood
level that measured 9.6 mcg/mL on 10/26/16.
During an interview on 11/20/16 at 9:35 p. m.,
Resident 1 stated that she fell hard at the
facility while having a seizure which gave her a
forehead wound and head pain. Resident 1
stated she had recently returned to the facility
and had not had an interdisciplinary care plan
meeting to discuss her new plan of care since
her 11/9/16 fall related to seizure with the
facility.
During a concurrent observation, Resident 1
had a six-centimeter linear forehead laceration
with a scab which was covered with steri-strips
(rectangle bandages used to join a wound for
healing) and noted with mild swelling to the
area under her eyes.
During an interview on 11/20/16 at 10:30 p.m.,
the director of nursing (DON) stated she forgot
to add a copy of the Resident 1 ' s subtherapeutic Dilantin blood level of 9.6
micrograms (mcg)/milliliter (mL) report, dated
10/26/16, to the resident ' s medical chart. The
DON stated the resident ' s blood level report

contamination is when one bacteria or
microorganism is unintentionally transferred
from one substance or object to another, with a
harmful effect, such as a food borne illness.
Symptoms range from relatively mild discomfort
to very serious, life-threatening illnesses. The
elderly, young, and persons with weakened
immune systems are at greatest risk of serious
consequences from foodborne illnesses.
A review of the facility's undated policy on
"Food Preparation," indicated the facility is to
follow when thawing meat:
a. Use a drip pan under food being thawed so
drippings do not contaminate other food.
b. Thaw meat on the bottom shelf below
prepared, ready to eat foods.
c. Store raw meat separately from cooked
ready to eat food to prevent cross
contamination.
d. Prevent raw-product juices from dripping
onto the prepared food and causing food borne
illness.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to have a laboratory test result in
the clinical record for one of ten sampled
residents (Resident 1).
This deficient practice had the potential to
affect Resident 1's quality of care and ongoing
medical diagnosis treatment and plan of care.
(Cross Refer F- 309)
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set,
([MDS], a resident assessment and care
screening tool), dated on 10/4/16, indicated
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
10/4/16, with a history of Seizure Disorder [a
neurological condition where the brain electrical
nerve activity is disturbed causing a person to
have uncontrollable body movement and loss
of consciousness, also known as convulsions,
or can present unnoticed with the person
looking as though they are staring into space
and falls]).
According to the manufacturer of Dilantin,
Pfizer (2016), Dilantin is an anti-convulsant
medication that helps to reduce seizures.
Administration of Dilantin requires the person to
have a specific therapeutic drug blood level,
which involves measuring the person's blood
drug concentration in micrograms per milliliters
(mcg/mL). Dilantin blood drug level results are
used to individualize the Dilantin drug amount
to be given in order to be within a safe level, or
therapeutic range, to maintain the person's risk
for seizing as low as possible. A therapeutic
drug blood level has a Narrow Therapeutic
Index ([NTI], in which the therapeutic dose is
very close to the toxic dose). Dilantin
therapeutic normal range level is 10.0 mcg/mL

to 20.0 mcg/ml. Dilantin Toxicity is when the
Dilantin blood drug level is above the normal
range of 20 mcg/ml and symptoms lead to
dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, lack of
coordination, and coma.
A review of Resident 1's physician's orders on
10/4/16 indicated to give Dilantin in liquid form
250 milligrams (mg) orally twice a day.
A review of Resident 1's physician's order,
dated 10/25/16, indicated to draw serum
(blood) Dilantin every month on the 4th
Wednesday starting 10/26/16.
On 11/20/16, review of Resident 1's clinical
record indicated there was no Dilantin level
result found in Resident 1's clinical record.
During an interview with LVN 2 on 11/20/16 at
6:15 a.m., LVN 2 stated she was unaware of
Resident 1's 10/26/16 Dilantin level.
During an interview with LVN 3 on 11/20/16 at
3:10 p.m., LVN 3 stated she was unaware of
Resident 1's 10/26/16 Dilantin level.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on 11/20/16 at 10:30 p.m., the DON
stated she forgot to add the print out copy of
the 10/26/16 Dilantin level result in Resident 1's
clinical record.
A review of Resident 1's laboratory test results
dated 10/26/16, indicated Resident 1's Dilantin
level was 9.6 mcg/mL (normal range is 10.0
mcg/mL to 20.0 mcg/mL), placing Resident 1 at
risk for seizures/fall.
