Findings: a. A review of Resident 31's Admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility on July 4, 2017, and was readmitted on September 12, 2017, with diagnoses of, but not limited to, generalized muscle weakness, paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body typically caused by spinal injury or disease), chronic pulmonary edema (condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs), hypertension (HTN - elevated blood pressure), and atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating). A review of Resident 31's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated October 10, 2017, indicated the resident has intact cognition, is able to make self understood, and is able to understand others. The tool indicated the resident needs limited assistance with eating; needs extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene; and is totally dependent with transfers, locomotion, and bathing. A review of Resident 31's Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST - a portable medical order form that records patients' treatment wishes so that emergency personnel know what treatments the patient wants in the event of a medical emergency, taking the patient's current medical condition into consideration.

SSD stated they will be working on this for all residents. A review of the facility's undated policies and procedures titled "Advance Directives," indicated prior to admission of a resident to the facility, the Social Services Director or designee will provide information to the resident concerning his/her right to make decisions concerning medical care, including the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate advance directives. Prior to or upon admission of a resident, the Social Services Director or designee will inquire of the resident, and/or his/her family members, about the existence of any written advance directives. Inquiries concerning advance directives should be referred to the Administrator, Director of Nursing Services, and/or to the Social Services Director. b.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) failed to maintain one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 75) right to privacy by failing to pull the privacy curtain during range of motion exercise. This deficient practice violated Resident 75's right to privacy. Findings: A review of Resident 75's admission record indicated an initial admission to the facility on January 9, 2012 and the most recent readmission was on November 11, 2013, with diagnoses including high blood pressure and acquired absence of left and right legs.

RNA 3 did not pull the privacy curtain to provide Resident 75 full visual privacy. During the ROM exercise, Resident 75's roommate was sitting in his wheelchair and was sometimes looking at RNA 3 and Resident 75. On December 27, 2017 at 10:55 a.m., during an interview, RNA 3 stated she forgot to pull the privacy curtain. RNA 3 stated she should have pulled the curtain to maintain Resident 75's privacy during ROM exercise. A review of the facility's undated policy titled "Personal Privacy" indicated the residents have right to personal privacy. Pulling the privacy curtain is a way to preserve privacy. On December 28, 2017 at 9:22 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the RNA was to maintain the resident's privacy during the procedure by pulling the privacy curtain or lock the door.

RNA 2 stated she did not perform PROM to the feet, hips, and left shoulder because RNA focused on the contracted knees and right elbow. RNA 2 stated she did not perform PROM to left shoulder because by performing PROM to left elbow, she was also exercising the left shoulder. On December 22, 2017 at 9:53 a.m., during an interview in the presence of Occupational Therapist 1 (OT 1), and Physical Therapist (PT 1), stated he did not see any problems with the RNAs performing ROM exercises, when conducting random competency skills evaluation of the RNAs. PT 1 and OT 1 stated they instructed the RNAs to provide ROM exercises as follow: flexion/extension of the hip, knee, wrist, ankle, shoulder, elbow, hand digits, and metacarpal (MCP bones of the hand) joints, abduction/adduction of the shoulder and hip joints. PT 1 and OT 1 stated the rehabilitation department did not have a resource material and/or manual on how to perform ROM exercises. PT 1 and OT 1 stated the expectation was for the RNAs to provide ROM exercises to all the resident' joints as instructed. Per OT 1, RNA 2 should have performed ROM to each joint because Resident 107 had limited ROM of her upper extremities.

Per PT 1, resident was "tight". During a concurrent interview, PT 1 stated he was unable to assess Resident 107's hip joints to be within functional limit because her knees needed to be straight (extended). PT 1 stated he did not want to force it (continue assessing Resident 107's hip). Resident 107 was grimacing and moaning at times during the assessment; she would bring her knees toward her body when PT 1 attempted to straighten them. On December 22, 2017, during an observation following PT 1's assessment, Occupational Therapist 1 (OT 1) assessed the ROM of Resident 107's upper extremities. Per OT 1, Resident 107 was tight, which resulted in Resident 107 having limited ROM to the following joints: right shoulder flexion: moderate to severe, right shoulder abduction moderate to severe, right elbow extension (severe), right wrist (moderate to severe), right fingers metacarpal (minimal to moderate), left shoulder (moderate limitation for extension and abduction), left elbow flexion (minimal to moderate OT 1 stated resident was resisting). On December 22, 2017 at 01:53 p.m., during a follow up interview, RNA 2, stated she had been working with Resident 107 about once a week. RNA 2 stated Resident 107 had limited ROM to her knees (unable to straighten knee). RNA 2 stated the RNAs and therapists (PT/OT) knew about the limitation. RNA 2 stated Resident 107 was unable to have her knees' ROM within functional limit even when she was not in pain and/or stiff. RNA 2 stated she did not personally report Resident 107's limitation.

The POLST did not have the signature of Resident 41's physician. During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), on December 28, 2017 at 8:54 a.m., while LVN 1 reviewed Resident 41's records, LVN 1 stated that when the resident's physician comes to the facility, the physician should sign the form. LVN 1 stated the nursing staff and medical records should remind the doctor and check if everything that required signing was signed. According to the National POLST Paradigm, since the POLST is a medical order, a healthcare professional is required to sign it in order for it to be valid. The form has a statement saying that, by signing the form, the healthcare professional agrees that the orders on the form match what treatments the patient said he/she wanted during a medical emergency based on his/her medical condition today (http://www.ohsu.edu/polst/). b.
