Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure five of nine final sampled residents (Resident 8, 19, 93, 118, and 143) reviewed for accidents remained free from accident hazards. * The facility failed to provide Resident 93 with a WanderGuard (type of wander management system) and failed to monitor the functionality of the WanderGuard as per the physician's order. In addition, the facility failed to ensure Resident 93's elopement assessment was accurate and failed to provide the receptionist an updated list of the residents at risk for elopement. * The facility failed to consistently monitor Resident 8 and 19's bed and chair alarms as per the physician's order. * The facility failed to monitor the presence and safety of an unleashed pet dog within the facility while the animal's owner was hospitalized , during which the dog was being cared for by Resident 118. * The facility failed to complete post-fall Fall Risk Assessments for Resident 143 when assessments dated 4/9 and 4/20/26 were blank. These failures increased the risk of the residents ambulating or transferring without staff awareness or assistance, increased likelihood of avoidable falls, inability to identify individualized fall risk factors due to incomplete assessments. In addition, this failure to implement timely interventions to prevent accidents, and exposure to an unleashed animal could result in bites, tripping hazards, or infection control concerns for the residents, staff, and visitors.Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Wandering and Elopements dated 2001showed the facility will identify residents who are at risk of unsafe wandering and strive to prevent harm while maintain the least restrictive environment for residents. If identified as at risk for wandering, elopement, or other safety issues, the resident's care plan will include strategies and interventions to maintain the resident's safety.

Based on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement their antibiotic stewardship program. * The facility failed to conduct an assessment for the McGeer's criteria to determine the true infection for two of 20 final sampled residents (Residents 8 and 148) and fourteen nonsampled residents (Residents 11, 27, 40, 44, 59, 85, 88, 90, 158, 159, 161, 163, 164, and 165). This failure had the potential for inaccurate identification of true infections and potentially inhibited the residents' physicians from discontinuing unnecessary antimicrobials.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship dated 2001 showed the facility will implement an antibiotic stewardship program to promote appropriate use of antibiotics optimizing the treatment to infection, reducing the threat of antibiotic resistance, reducing adverse events associated with antibiotic use and improve outcomes for the residents. The IP will collect and analyze infection surveillance data, coordinate data collection, and monitor adherence to infection control policies and procedures. The facility has chosen to use guidelines developed by McGeer's/Loeb and Stone and include newer surveillance information by McGeers/Loeb and Stone Criteria for initiation of antibiotics. The nurse will inform the physician of this prescribing protocol. These guidelines may be utilized in the decision to initiate empiric antibiotic use, if the physician chooses to do so due to resident's clinical condition. The physician may decide to initiate antibiotics without meeting these criteria and the nurse will then document the clinical justification for the physician's decision. The SBAR will be utilized in conjunction with McGeer's/ Loeb and Stone guidelines to communicate with the physician when there is a change in condition. Antibiotic-time-out will be utilized when appropriate. The IP will track the antibiotic ordered, dose, route, and ordering physician. The IP will track whether the resident met Criteria when the antibiotic was ordered. The IP will track if cultures were ordered. The IP will track changes in antibiotic orders during therapy. The IP will track outcome of therapy. The IP will provide results of tracking antibiotic use, outcomes, and adverse events to the clinical staff.

Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of five final sampled residents (Resident 148) reviewed for unnecessary medication was free from unnecessary psychotropic medications. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 148 was monitored for the side effects related to the use of lorazepam (antianxiety), buspirone (antianxiety), fluoxetine (antidepressant) and mirtazapine (antidepressant). In addition, the monthly behavior summary for mirtazapine medication did not match the documentation of the episodes when Resident 148 ate less than 50%. These failures had the potential to result in unrecognized adverse medication effects, delayed or inadequate clinical intervention, and inaccurate clinical decision-making regarding the continued use of the psychotropic medications for Resident 148.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use dated 2001 showed psychotropic medication management includes adequate monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences. According to Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov:- The most adverse reactions with lorazepam use include central nervous effects and respiratory depression;- The more commonly observed untoward events associated with the use of buspirone hydrochloride tablets not seen at an equivalent incidence among placebo-treated patients include dizziness, nausea, headache, nervousness, lightheadedness, and excitement;- Residents with major depressive disorder, may experience worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior (suicidality) or unusual changes in behavior, whether or not they are taking antidepressant medications, and this risk may persist until significant remission occurs, related to the use of fluoxetine; and- To monitor all antidepressant-treated patients for any indication of clinical worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, especially during the initial few months of drug therapy, and at times of dosage changes related to the use of mirtazapine. Medical record review for Resident 148 was initiated on 5/5/26. Resident 148 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].

Based on observation, interview, medical record review and facility document and P&P review, the facility failed to implement a systematic approach to ensure effective monitoring of acceptable parameters of nutritional status for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 6) when: 1. The severe weight loss of - 10 lbs. (7.7%) from 7/20/23 to 9/25/23, and - 14 lbs. (10.4%) from 5/28/23 to 9/25/23, was not assessed and monitored by the IDT (Interdisciplinary team - members of the care team including but not limited to: the attending physician, nurses, a member of the food and nutrition services staff, social workers, rehabilitation therapists and the resident or the resident's legal representative). 2. The interventions ordered by Physician 1 to maintain Resident 6's nutritional and hydration status were not implemented as ordered. 3. The resident centered plan of care for Resident 6 did not reflect the goals or interventions in regard to dehydration risk. As a result of these failures, Resident 6's severe weight loss of 10 lbs. (7.7%) in three months from 7/20/23 to 9/25/23, and 14 lbs. (10.4%) in six months from 5/28/23 to 9/25/23, and poor PO (oral) intake contributed to the transfer of Resident 6 to the acute care hospital on 10/24/23, with admitting diagnosis of dehydration and sepsis related to UTI (urinary tract infection). Findings: A professional reference review of the National Library of Medicine titled, An approach to the management of unintentional weight loss in elderly people, dated March 15, 2005, showed in part, Unintentional weight loss, or the involuntary decline in total body weight over time, is common among elderly people who live at home. Weight loss in elderly people can have a deleterious effect on the ability to function and on quality of life and is associated with an increase in mortality over a 12-month period .Unintentional weight loss is the involuntary decline in total body weight over time. In clinical practice, it is encountered in up to 8% of all adult outpatients and 27% of frail people [AGE] years and older. Weight loss is an important risk factor in elderly patients. It is associated with increased mortality, which can range from 9% to as high as 38% within 1 to 2.5 years after weight loss has occurred .Weight loss of 4%-5% or more of body weight within 1 year, or 10% or more over 5-[AGE] years or longer, is associated with increased mortality or morbidity or both. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC552892/> A professional reference review of the Journal of Nutrients titled, Chronic Dehydration in Nursing Home Residents, dated [DATE] showed in part, The adult human body consists of about 60% water, with muscle functioning as the main reservoir of water, but in older adults, this amount is reduced to only around 50% due to reduced muscle mass. Among older adults, dehydration is common and is associated with several serious adverse events, including longer hospital stays and higher mortality (the state of being subject to death) rates . Chronic dehydration mainly occurs due to insufficient fluid intake over a lengthy period of time, and nursing home residents are thought to be at high risk for chronic dehydration.Chronic dehydration is mainly due to insufficient fluid intake over a lengthy period and is often insidious (proceeding in a gradual way but with harmful effect) . Older adults are considered at risk for chronic dehydration due to their reduced sensitivity to thirst, lower urine concentrating ability, and lower fluid intake compared with young or middle-aged adults. Furthermore, older nursing home residents may be at high risk for chronic dehydration because lower fluid intake is commonly observed in nursing home residents .Chronic dehydration may be more problematic among nursing home residents, and establishing effective preventive strategies for chronic dehydration in this population would require identifying the risk factors for chronic dehydration. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7709028/> A professional reference review of the National Library of Medicine titled, Reducing urinary tract infections in care homes by improving hydration, dated July 10, 2019, showed in part, Dehydration may increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), which can lead to confusion, falls, acute kidney injury and hospital admission . Urinary tract infection (UTI) was the condition with the highest rate of emergency admissions to hospitals in 2012/2013. Dehydration has been highlighted as a common cause of admission to hospital in nursing home residents, and there is evidence that many older residents living in care homes do not receive enough fluids. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6629391/> 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Weight Assessment and Intervention revised 9/2008 showed in part, the multidisciplinary team will strive to prevent, monitor and intervene for undesirable weight loss for our residents. Analysis: 1. Assessment information shall be analyzed by the multidisciplinary team and conclusions shall be made regarding the: a. Resident's target weight range, b. appropriate calorie, protein and other nutrient needs compared with the resident's current intake; c. The relationship between current medical condition or clinical situation and recent fluctuations in weight .2. Physician and the multidisciplinary team will identify conditions and medications that may be causing anorexia, weight loss or increasing the risk of weight loss. Care Planning 1. Care planning for weight loss or impaired nutrition will be a multidisciplinary effort and will include the Physician, nursing staff, the Dietitian, the Consultant Pharmacist, and the resident or resident ' s legal surrogate. 2. Individualized care plans shall address to the extent possible: a. The identified causes of weight loss; b. goals and benchmarks for improvement; and c. Time frames and parameters for monitoring and reassessment. Interventions: b. Nutrition and hydration needs of the resident; chewing or swallowing abnormalities and the need for diet modifications; the use of supplementation and/or feeding tubes . Review of the facility P&P titled Acute Condition Changes revised 3/2018 showed in part, Monitoring and Follow-up 1. The staff will monitor and document the resident/patient's progress and responses to treatment, and the physician will adjust treatment accordingly.

Will continue to follow weights, skin, labs and po intake. On 11/6/23 at 1230 hours, an observation was conducted of Resident 6 in her room. Resident 6 was lying on the floor spitting food contents onto the floor. Resident 6's lunch meal tray was on the bedside table. During an interview with the RD on 11/6/23 at 1640 hours, the RD stated she charted on the residents with significant weight changes and those residents who were at high risk for altered nutritional status. When asked if the RD attended the facility's weight variance meeting, the RD stated she did not attend a weight variance meeting but would discuss any weight changes with the DON. On 11/7/23 at 1617 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was asked to explain the facility process when a resident experienced a significant weight loss. The DON stated the nursing staff completed a Change of Condition (COC) assessment, then informed the Physician. There would also be an RD consult ordered. The DON added she discussed significant weight changes with the RD. When asked for documentation of these discussions, the DON confirmed the discussions were verbal only, no documentation was kept. The DON was asked to provide documentation the severe weight loss of 7 lbs., 5.5% severe weight loss since 8/2/23, -10 lbs., a 7.7% severe weight loss in three months, and -14 lbs., a 10.4% severe weight loss in six months for Resident 6 was discussed with the IDT, the DON stated there had not been an IDT meeting to discuss resident weight changes in over a year. On 11/8/23 at 1005 hours, an interview was conducted with the RD. The RD was asked what the facility protocol was for monitoring a resident with significant weight loss and poor PO intake. The RD stated she would monitor weights weekly, address abnormal lab values, monitor for poor PO intake and check the skin report. The RD agreed that residents with significant weight loss should be monitored until the resident's weight had stabilized. The RD was asked to review her notes for Resident 6. The RD confirmed she assessed Resident 6 on 9/27/23 for the severe weight loss of 10 lbs. (7.7%) in three months from 7/20/23 to 9/25/23, and 14 lbs. (10.4%) weight loss in six months from 5/28/23 to 9/25/23. The RD confirmed Resident 6 had poor PO intake. The RD confirmed there were no recent laboratory values to evaluate Resident 6's hydration status and she did not recommend any laboratory work be ordered. The RD confirmed she had not assessed Resident 6 again until 11/2/23, after Resident 6 was readmitted from the hospital on 10/31/23. When asked why she did not continue to monitor Resident 6 after the severe weight loss of 10 lbs. (7.7%) in three months from 7/20/23 to 9/25/23, and 14 lbs. (10.4%) weight loss in six months from 5/28/23 to 9/25/23, the RD stated she would follow up if there was an RD consult order or poor PO intake. The surveyor pointed out that Resident 6 did have poor intake according to the RD assessment dated [DATE], and asked the RD why Resident 6 was not reassessed the following week. The RD stated she would like to check her RD binder before responding to that question. On 11/8/23 at 1054 hours, a follow up interview was conducted with the RD. The RD was asked what the facility's standard protocol was for monitoring a resident with significant weight loss. The RD stated the facility would implement weekly weights. The RD added she normally kept a list of residents she needed to monitor. When asked if Resident 6 was on the list the RD kept, the RD stated she did not keep the list of residents that needed to be monitored. The RD confirmed Resident 6 was high risk for altered nutritional and hydration status and she should have monitored her weights, PO intake and any recent laboratory values weekly. On 11/08/23 at 1257 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 6 had refused all food from her lunch meal tray. Resident 6 was offered a sandwich but refused. On 11/8/23 at 1400 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was asked to explain the facility's protocol to monitor a resident who had experienced significant weight loss. The DON stated nursing would monitor the resident with a COC assessment, weekly weights, and any changes in the resident. The DON stated her expectation was for nursing documentation every shift for 72 hours to address the COC related to significant weight loss. The DON was asked to confirm nursing documented every shift for 72 after the COC related to Resident 6 ' s severe weight loss. The DON confirmed nursing charted on Resident 6's COC for the severe weight loss twice; on 9/26/23 and 9/28/23. The DON was asked if a resident had a severe weight loss with poor PO intake would nursing ask the Physician for any specific orders. The DON stated they would suggest that labs be drawn to check the hydration status of the resident. The DON confirmed no labs were drawn to check Residents 6's hydration status prior to Resident 6's discharge to the hospital on 10/24/23. The DON was unable to confirm the IDT, nursing or the RD assessed Resident 6's severe weight loss, hydration status or poor PO intake after 9/27/23. The DON confirmed Resident 6 was transferred to the hospital on 10/24/23, with an admitting diagnosis of dehydration and schizophrenia. The DON confirmed there could be a correlation between severe weight loss, poor PO intake and dehydration. On 11/9/23 at 1047 hours, Resident 6 was observed in her room sleeping in bed. Two ounces of applesauce with a spoon and a water pitcher without a glass were at the bedside. On 11/09/23 at 1100 hours an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 6 could feed herself. CNA 1 stated Resident 6 refused breakfast. CNA 1 offered Resident 6 orange juice but Resident 6 refused. CNA 1 also stated Resident 6 gets snacks between meals but refused them. When asked why Resident 6 did not have a water cup, CNA 1 stated she would get her one. 2. On 11/7/23 at 1451 hours, an interview was conducted with RNAs 1 and 2 regarding the facility process of weekly weights for residents. RNAs 1 and 2 stated they checked the RNA communication log every morning for new weight orders. RNAs 1 and 2 were asked to confirm a weekly weight order for Resident 6 to start on 9/26/23 through 10/22/23. RNAs 1 and 2 stated they did not have an order for Resident 6 to be weighed weekly starting on 9/26/23 through 10/22/23. After reviewing the facility document titled Record of Admission height, weight, and weekly weights for the month of October, RNAs 1 and 2 confirmed they did not weigh Resident 6 from 9/26/23 to 10/22/23. RNA 1 stated the RN supervisor was responsible to enter resident weights into the electronic medical record. On 11/7/23 at 1509 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9 confirmed an order written on 9/26/23, for Resident 6 to be weighed weekly for four weeks until 10/22/23. LVN 9 confirmed weekly weights were not completed per the physician's order and the last weight taken for Resident 6 was on 9/25/23. LVN 9 stated nursing relayed the weekly weight order to the RNA by putting the order in the RNA binder. When asked how the facility ensured the weekly weight orders had been completed, the LVN stated nursing checked the weekly weight summary. On 11/7/23 at 1651 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON confirmed the order for weekly weights written on 9/26/23, for Resident 6 had not been completed. The DON stated if the facility had met as an IDT, they would have noticed Resident 6 had not been weighed weekly as ordered. a. On 11/07/23 at 1550 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 verified the physician's order for Resident 6 on 10/31/23, for laboratory values (CBC, CMP, Hgb A1C, B12, D, D25, liver panel, lipid panel and Valproic acid). RN 1 confirmed no results for the laboratory order were in the electronic medical record for Resident 6. RN 1 stated Resident 6 sometimes refused blood to be drawn. If the resident refused the blood draw, that was sometimes documented on the SBAR form. RN 1 confirmed there was no documentation Resident 6 refused the blood draw. RN 1 then checked the lab requisition book and verified there was no lab requisition for the 10/31/23 labs for Resident 6. RN 1 stated LVNs who received physician orders for lab draws should complete a test request form and file the lab request on the appropriate date (date the lab work was ordered). If the labs were ordered for the weekend or stat (urgent) the LVN must call the lab and schedule the blood draw. RN 1 stated she would call the physician to let him know the labs had not been completed as ordered on 10/31/23. On 11/8/23 at 1400 hours, a review of Resident 6's electronic medical record and concurrent interview was conducted with the DON. The DON confirmed Resident 6 was transferred to the hospital on 10/24/23, and was admitted to the hospital with diagnosis of dehydration and schizophrenia. The DON confirmed Resident 6 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including sepsis. The DON confirmed the physician's orders for laboratory values (CBC, CMP, Hgb A1C, B12, D, D25, liver panel, lipid panel and Valproic acid, a medication) on 10/31/23. The DON confirmed the lab work ordered for Resident 6 had not been completed. b. Review of the facility's P&P titled Fortification of Food: Increasing Calories and/or Protein in the Diet dated 2023 showed in part, the enrichment of foods will be done on an individual basis for the residents who cannot consume adequate amounts of calories and/or protein to sustain their weight or nutrition status. The goal is to increase the calorie and/or protein density of the foods commonly consumed by the resident to promote improvement in their nutrition status .Adding calories: 1. Extra margarine - 1/2 ounce melted margarine may be added to one food item at breakfast, two at lunch and one at dinner. Review of the facility document titled Cooks Spreadsheet Week 2 showed for the puree diet, three ounces puree lemon chicken piccata, 1/2 cup puree pasta with creamy Italian sauce, 1/3 cup puree spinach au gratin, puree fresh green salad with dressing, and puree gelatin. Review of Resident 6's lunch meal tray ticket showed, Pureed, Fortified diet, four ounces milk, ice cream. During the lunch meal tray line on 11/7/23 at 1129 hours, after the lunch meal cart trays had been checked by the DSS, an observation of Resident 6 ' s lunch meal was conducted with the DSS. Resident 6's lunch meal tray consisted of pureed food items per the cook ' s spreadsheet, and four ounces milk. The DSS was asked what was given to fortified diets. The DSS stated extra margarine on the spinach au gratin. The DSS confirmed the spinach au gratin on Resident 6's lunch tray did not include added margarine. Resident 6's lunch meal tray did not contain ice cream. The DSS confirmed that ice cream was missing and added the ice cream to the tray. 3. Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 12/2016 showed in part, a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident ' s physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident .13. Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the resident ' s conditions change. 14. The Interdisciplinary Team must review and update the care plan: a. when there has been a significant change in the resident ' s condition . Review of the nutrition care plan created by the RD on 11/2/23 showed Resident 6 had actual/potential nutritional problem and dehydration risk r/t diagnosis of hyperlipidemia (high levels of fats in the blood), GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease- a condition when the stomach contents come back into your esophagus) .dehydration . The goal for Resident 6's care plan showed, the resident will maintain adequate nutritional status as evidenced by gaining weight of 135 lbs.+/- 5%, no signs/symptoms of malnutrition, and consuming at least 50-100% of meals daily through review date. The interventions for Resident 6's care plan did not include specifics to monitor for dehydration. A review of Resident 6's nutrition care plan initiated by the RD on 11/2/23 was reviewed with the DON on 11/9/23 at 0854 hours. The DON confirmed Resident 6 was a risk for dehydration.

F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview, and clinical record review, the facility failed to provide an environment free from hazards and provide adequate supervision to prevent accidents for two of 15 sampled residents (Residents 10 and 14). *The facility failed to ensure Resident 10 was adequately assisted with transfers from the bed to the wheelchair, resulting in a fall and a dislocation of her right shoulder (upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket. This can happen when a strong force pulls the shoulder upward or outward, or from an extreme external rotation). *The facility failed to take reasonable precautions, including providing adequate supervision to prevent a resident to resident altercation involving Resident 14. Resident 14 hit Resident 7 on the legs with his cane. Findings: 1. An interview with Resident 10's family member was initiated on 6/11/14 at 1530 hours, regarding her concerns with a recent fall sustained by Resident 10, and the care provided after the fall. The family member stated Resident 10 has been "dropped" by staff members two separate times. The first incident occurred in December 2013 when Resident 10 was being transferred from the bed to the wheelchair assisted by one staff member. Resident 10 sustained a head laceration, which required 10 stitches. Resident 10's family member stated Resident 10 was "dropped" again on 5/28/14, while being transferred from the bed to the wheelchair, assisted by one staff member. The family member stated she was called by the facility on 5/28/14, and was told Resident 10 had sustained a fall and was not injured. She stated she came to visit Resident 10 on 5/31/14. While attempting to move Resident 10 in the wheelchair, the resident cried out in pain. She stated she informed the charge nurse and requested an x-ray of Resident 10's right shoulder to be done. The result of the x-ray showed Resident 10's right shoulder was dislocated. The family member stated she had to request Resident 10 be sent to the acute care hospital emergency roiagnom on [DATE]. She stated the ER (emergency room ) physician was unable to reduce (realign the joint) the right shoulder. Resident 10 was then sent to an orthopedic physician on 6/3/14, who instructed the family to take Resident 10 to another acute care hospital emergency room , and the shoulder was reduced. Review of Resident 10's clinical record was initiated on 6/12/14. Resident 10 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident 10 speaks a foreign language. Review of the MDS (a standardized assessment tool) dated 3/31/14, shows Resident 10 has cognitive impairment and is dependant on staff for her ADLs. Resident 10 requires two persons' assistance with transfers. Review of the Change of Condition Documentation form dated 5/28/14, shows CNA 2 was transferring Resident 10 from the bed to the wheelchair when the wheelchair moved "a little bit resulting her to assist or lower" Resident 10 to the floor. The documentation shows LVN 3 performed a head to toe assessment with "no apparent injury observed." The documentation failed to show the time of the injury. At 1500 hours, the physician was notified and no new orders were obtained. A telephone interview was initiated with LVN 3 on 6/13/14 at 1130 hours. LVN 3 verified Resident 10 sustained a fall on 5/28/14. LVN 3 stated, when she got to the room of Resident 10, CNA 2 was sitting on the floor propping Resident 10 up. LVN 3 stated Resident 10 was "dead weight." LVN 3 stated she assessed Resident 10 while on the floor and had a translator ask Resident 10 if she was in pain. Resident 10 was lifted by two CNAs into the wheelchair. LVN 3 stated she performed passive range of motion during the assessment and Resident 10 denied pain. LVN 3 verified Resident 10 requires two persons' assistance with transfer using a Sara lift (a mechanical lift used to assist residents with sit to stand transfers). LVN 3 stated the "care cards" in the ADL book should show how many people are needed to transfer the resident. Review of the MDS Kardex Report form reviewed and revised on 12/30/13, shows Resident 10 is totally dependent on staff for transfers and requires two persons' assistance. Documentation further shows Resident 10 is not steady during transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. A telephone interview was conducted with CNA 2 on 6/13/14 at 1145 hours. CNA 2 stated she was transferring Resident 10 from the bed to the wheelchair and the wheelchair moved. She assisted Resident 10 to the floor and called out for help. The nurse came and assessed Resident 10 on the floor. CNA 2 stated she and another CNA lifted Resident 10 from the floor to the wheelchair. When asked how many staff does it take to transfer Resident 10, CNA 2 stated Resident 10 is a one person transfer. She stated the "ADL book" shows the number of staff required for transfer. On 6/13/14 at 1450 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 4. CNA 4 stated she was not present at the time of the incident, but assisted CNA 2 to lift Resident 10 from the floor to the wheelchair. CNA 4 stated Resident 10 requires two persons' assistance with transfers and bed mobility. She stated Resident 10 does not assist during transferring and is very heavy. Review of the Interdisciplinary Resident Safety Investigation and Intervention for Resident 10 dated 5/28/14, showed the assisted fall occurred at 1120 hours on 5/28/14. The interdisciplinary team recommends to monitor for pain and notify the physician of any changes. Review of the Licensed Nurses Progress Notes dated 5/31/14, shows an entry for the 7-3 shift.

Review of the IDT Resident Safety Investigation and Intervention dated 5/31/14, showed Resident 14 attempted to hit another resident. The care plan problem dated 5/31/14, to address attempted to hit another resident, showed the interventions include to educate the resident to let staff take care of the residents, redirect the resident's behavior with activities of choice, and encourage the resident to express feelings/concern. The care plan problem did not include providing precautions and adequate supervision at all times. Review of the IDT Resident Safety Investigation and Intervention dated 6/2/14, showed Resident 14 hit another resident at the hallway. The physician's orders [REDACTED]. During an interview with LVN 2 on 6/13/14 at 1420 hours, she stated Resident 14 is able to propel his wheelchair and goes around the facility. LVN 2 stated she received a report that Resident 14 was "tapping" the wheelchairs of the residents in the dining room. An interview was conducted with CNA 3 on 6/13/14 at 1430 hours, who stated he had taken care of Resident 14 before. CNA 3 stated the resident can propel his wheelchair. CNA 3 stated the resident can be verbally aggressive. CNA 3 further stated there was an instance CNA 3 was wheeling another resident from the dining room, Resident 14 was angry and demanding CNA 3 leave the resident alone. During an interview with RN 1 on 6/13/14 at 1440 hours, she stated Resident 14 can propel his wheelchair. RN 1 stated she received reports that Resident 14 was randomly "tapping" the residents' wheelchairs to wake the residents up in the dining room. RN 1 stated there was an instance when Resident 14 was walking with his cane, with the therapist behind him, and Resident 14 hit a resident on the legs and stated "out of my way." An interview was conducted with the SSD on 6/13/14 at 1445 hours. She stated, prior to admission to the facility, Resident 14 lived in an assisted living facility. She stated she spoke to the assisted living facility staff after Resident 14 was transferred to a psychiatric hospital. She stated the assisted living facility staff told her Resident 14 had behavior problems while the resident was at the assisted living facility. On 6/13/14 at 1545 hours, the Administrator and DON were informed of the concern for Resident 14 not being provided adequate supervision. The DON stated the staff monitored the resident every 15 minutes from 5/29/14, until he was transferred to the psychiatric hospital. She was asked what documentation do they have. She reviewed the clinical record; however, she did not find documentation regarding monitoring Resident 14. She stated she will check the old MAR. She came back and provided monitor forms.

F371L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observation, interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure pasteurized eggs were used in the service of over-easy/undercooked eggs to residents, cantaloupe was properly cleaned prior to preparation and service, and the ice machine in the kitchen was cleaned and sanitized in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Five of five residents who requested over easy eggs were observed to consume eggs with runny yolk that smeared the plate. This practice impacted all residents who would have requested over easy eggs. The ice machine in the kitchen was the only ice machine at the facility and was used to provide ice to all residents at the facility. Findings: 1. On 6/5/13 at 0740 hours, during an observation of the breakfast meal service in the dining room, four nonsampled residents (Residents B, C, D, and E) were noted to be consuming over easy eggs. The egg yolks were noted to be liquid in consistency and spread on the resident's plates. One resident who was consuming breakfast in her room (Resident F), was also served over easy eggs. For Residents D, E, and F, "Over Easy Egg" or "Eggs Over Easy" was indicated on the residents' tray slips as "Special Requests" to be served every day during the breakfast meal. For Residents B and C, the request for over easy eggs was made as a substitute for the quiche being served that day. On 6/5/13 at 0800 hours, observation of the breakfast meal service in the kitchen revealed regular shell eggs were used to make the over easy eggs (with runny yolk) noted to be served to the residents. The shell eggs utilized were noted in the cooking area and were not imprinted with any identifying stamps indicating they were pasteurized eggs (pasteurized eggs are eggs that have been cooked briefly at a high temperature and then cooled in order to reduce the possibility of food-borne illness in dishes that are not cooked or lightly cooked). In a concurrent interview with the Dietary Service Supervisor (DSS), she acknowledged the shell eggs that were being used for the preparation of the over easy eggs were not pasteurized. The DSS stated the pasteurized eggs would be delivered by the vendor the following day. On 6/5/13 at 1005 hours, during an inspection of the kitchen, the Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition and Regional Registered Dietitian B both stated facility staff were not required to purchase pasteurized eggs as long as the Food Code guidelines with regards to cooking eggs (to 145 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for 15 seconds) were met. They confirmed the facility did not have a policy that specifically addressed the cooking of eggs, but instead they referenced the Food Code Section 3-401.11. In a concurrent interview with the DSS, she stated she did not order pasteurized eggs "that much". The DSS could not remember the last time she had purchased pasteurized eggs, but stated it depended on the menu. When asked when she would utilize pasteurized eggs, she stated for the preparation of egg salad. This was confirmed by Regional Registered Dietitian B, who stated, "We allow them to purchase pasteurized eggs for egg salad." When asked how eggs were prepared for egg salad, Regional Registered Dietitian B stated they would be hard boiled. When asked why pasteurized eggs would be the preferred product for the production of a hard boiled egg product, she could not respond. Review of the Food Code 2009, Section 3-401.11, revealed the following guidance, "1 (A) ...., Raw animal foods such as eggs, fish, meat, poultry, and foods containing these raw animal foods, shall be cooked to heat all parts of the food to a temperature and for a time that complies with one of the following methods based on the food that is being cooked: 1 (1) 63oC (145oF) or above for 15 seconds for: 1(a) Raw eggs that are broken and prepared in response to a consumer's order and for immediate service." The Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition asked a staff member to demonstrate the method the facility used to prepare over easy eggs in order to indicate the eggs were cooked in accordance with Food Code specifications. Cook 1 proceeded to prepare over easy eggs on the grill top, while the Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition utilized an infra red thermometer to measure the surface temperature of the over easy egg while it was on the grill top, and stated it was above 145 degrees F. After 15 seconds, Cook 1 and the Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition stated the over easy egg was ready. A facility thermometer was utilized to measure the internal temperature of the egg, which still appeared to have a runny yolk. The internal temperature of the egg measured 133 degrees F. The Food Code requirements, which specified that "all parts of the food" should be cooked to 145 degrees for 15 seconds was not met. The Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition then stated pasteurized eggs would be purchased and staff inserviced on the proper preparation of over easy eggs. An inservice training was conducted by the Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition Services with 14 dietary staff members on 6/5/13 at 1300 hours, on the topic of, "Use of Pasteurized Eggs." Objectives covered during the inservice included, "1. Staff will only utilize shelled pasteurized eggs when preparing a style of egg that may not be completely cooked (i.e. Over-easy, fried w/ (with) runny yolk, "sunny side up"), 2. Staff will demonstrate how to properly identify a pasteurized egg." On 6/6/13, the DSS provided a copy of the invoice indicating when pasteurized eggs had last been purchased and received by the facility. The purchase order date on the invoice was 1/23/13 and it indicated one case of pasteurized eggs had been ordered. There had not been any other purchases of pasteurized eggs made and received at the facility since that date. On 6/6/13 at 0804 hours, during an observation of the breakfast meal service in the dining room, Residents D and E were noted to be served over easy eggs. When each resident cut into the egg, the yolk was noted to be runny and spread on the plate. On 6/6/13 at 0806 hours, inspection of the meal preparation activities in the kitchen indicated staff continued to utilize regular shell eggs (not pasteurized) in the preparation of over easy eggs for the residents. Cook 1 confirmed the pasteurized eggs had not been received. On 6/6/13 at 0820 hours, in an interview with the Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition, he confirmed staff had been instructed not to serve over easy or soft cooked eggs until the pasteurized eggs were received at the facility. The Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition and the DSS, who was present at the time of the interview, were unaware that staff continued to serve eggs with runny yolks to the residents. Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 6/6/13 at 0840 hours, regarding the facility's failure to serve unpasteurized eggs cooked to the correct temperature and failure to obtain pasteurized eggs to serve to residents who requested over easy eggs. The Administrator, DON, Medical Director and corporate nurse consultant were made aware of the Immediate Jeopardy on 6/6/13 at 0845 hours. On 6/6/13 at 1030 hours, in a telephone interview with Regional Registered Dietitian A, in the presence of the Administrator, she stated she had identified that the facility was not utilizing pasteurized eggs for the preparation of undercooked eggs in December 2012. Regional Registered Dietitian A stated she provided verbal training to staff on the purpose and need to use pasteurized eggs and assumed the DSS understood the purpose for and proper use of pasteurized eggs. Regional Registered Dietitian A and the Administrator acknowledged the system related to lack of availability of pasteurized eggs on site, and use of pasteurized eggs in the preparation of undercooked eggs had not been adequately monitored. This is a system that impacts all residents who may request over easy/undercooked eggs. On 6/5/13 at 1443 hours and on 6/6/13 at 1015 hours, the RD who was regularly assigned to the facility acknowledged she was unaware that pasteurized eggs were not being used for the service of undercooked eggs at the facility. The RD stated she had seen pasteurized eggs "once before" but did not look for them with every visit. An acceptable written plan of action was provided on 6/6/13 at 1600 hours, by the Administrator. The Immediate Jeopardy was abated on 6/7/13 at 1015 hours, prior to the exit of the survey. The corrections the facility took were: *The kitchen was inspected by the Regional Manager of Clinical Operations on 6/6/13 at 0930 hours to ensure only pasteurized eggs were received in the food delivery. The kitchen will only order pasteurized eggs in the future. Food orders will be placed by the DSS and reviewed by the Administrator or designee. The weekly food delivery will be inspected by the Administrator or designee to ensure only pasteurized eggs are received by the facility. *Residents who received over easy unpasteurized eggs for the breakfast meal on 6/5/13 and 6/6/13 were identified. The residents/responsible parties and the primary care physicians for the affected residents were notified. *The affected residents will be monitored for symptoms of salmonella (fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea) every shift for 72 hours. *The licensed nursing staff including CNAs were inserviced on food borne pathogens including signs and symptoms of food borne illness, risk factors and methods to reduce risks. *Dietary staff were inserviced on the use of only pasteurized eggs (stamped with "P"), risk of food borne infections (especially eggs and chicken), cross contamination in the kitchen environment and the steps to reduce the risk. *The current RD has resigned. In order to ensure continuity of this plan, when the current RD leaves, the facility has contracted with a professional dietician consulting company. The RD from the consulting company will visit the facility three times per week in order to fulfill the regulatory requirements and duties of the facility RD in the interim. *The Regional RD will conduct visits once per month to audit dietary operations, conduct needed training and assure compliance with facility P&Ps. *The DSS, in coordination with the facility RD, will ensure operations of the dietary department are carried out. *The Administrator or designee will monitor the food order and inspect the kitchen weekly for four weeks and then every two weeks for two months. The findings of the audits will be discussed at the monthly Quality Assurance meeting to determine the efficacy of the monitoring system. 2. On 6/4/13 at 1010 hours, during the initial kitchen tour, peeled cantaloupe was noted to be stored in a container in the walk-in refrigerator. On 6/5/13 at 1045 hours, Dietary Aide 2 was interviewed with regards to the process she utilized in the preparation of fruit, such as cantaloupe, for service to the residents. Dietary Aide 2 stated she washed the cantaloupe with water, peeled the cantaloupe, rinsed it under water and then cut it for service. Dietary Aide 2 confirmed she did not scrub the cantaloupe/utilize a scrub brush during the cantaloupe preparation method. There was no dedicated fruit/vegetable scrub brush noted in Dietary Aide 2's produce preparation area. Regional Registered Dietitian B, present at the time of the interview with Dietary Aide 2, stated there was "guidance" for the need to scrub cantaloupes during the preparation phase, prior to peeling and cutting, but confirmed the Dietary Service Supervisor and staff at the facility had not received training on that "guidance". Review of an inservice provided to dietary staff by the Regional Manager of Food and Nutrition, dated 6/5/13 at 1315 hours, revealed the following guidance for the preparation of cantaloupe: "With skin of melon still intact, scrub whole melon with vegetable brush under clean running water." 3. On 6/4/13 at 1010 hours, during the initial kitchen tour, the DSS stated cleaning of the ice machine bin was the responsibility of dietary staff, while the mechanical part of the machine was the responsibility of the maintenance department. The ice machine in the kitchen was the only ice machine at the facility that provided ice to all residents. On 6/5/13 at 1210 hours, in an interview with the Maintenance Supervisor, he stated he cleaned the ice machine filter every month and cleaned the condenser. The Maintenance Supervisor further stated that every three months, he ran a chemical cleaner (de-lime solution) through the machine. The Maintenance Supervisor was asked twice if a sanitizing solution was also run through the machine at any point, and the Maintenance Supervisor confirmed that the sanitizer solution was only used in the bin portion of the machine. On 6/5/13 at 1455 hours, the manufacturer's recommendations for the ice machine were provided by the Maintenance Supervisor and revealed, "The ice machine's water system should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of twice per year." The manufacturer's recommendations indicated a step by step process for cleaning and sanitizing the ice machine which included, "Mix 2 gallons of Sanitizer solution. Follow local codes for sanitizer ... Pour 16 ounces of Sanitizer solution into the reservoir water." Review of the facility policy titled, "Ice Machine", revealed, "The Maintenance Director will insure that the ice machine will be disconnected, cleaned and sanitized quarterly and as needed."

Based on clinical record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 3) maintained acceptable weight parameters. Resident 3 had a significant weight loss (a 5% or greater weight loss in 30 days, 7.5% or greater in 90 days, or a 10% or greater weight loss in 180 days) in 90 days. The facility did not reassess the resident's nutritional status, notify the physician, or establish any new interventions to prevent further weight loss and there is no documentation the IDT addressed the resident's weight loss. Although the resident was documented as needing extensive assistance with eating, the resident was not started on an assisted eating program, such as an RNA feeding program. The staff documented Resident 3 was eating 40% of her meals, but the facility did not assess why the resident was not eating more. As a result, Resident 3 continued to lose weight over the next 90 days with a significant weight loss of 14.28% in 180 days. Findings: Review of the P&P titled Nutritional Management Program dated 1/08, showed the Nutritional Service Director interviews the resident and completes the food preference interview after admission. The RD will complete a Medical Nutritional Therapy Assessment within 7 days, which provides a more detailed profile of the resident's overall nutritional status. The comprehensive nutritional assessment identifies clinical conditions that effect nutritional status. These factors include refusal to eat, poor oral health, poor eyesight or functional ability, medications that can affect appetite, taste or digestion, decline in sensory functions like taste and smell, and dementia. Clinical record review for Resident 3 was initiated on 12/11/12. Review of the Face Sheet showed Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

Review of the clinical record showed there is no documented food preference interview completed by the FSD to determine the resident's food preferences. Review of the weight record showed Resident 3 weighed 119 pounds on 6/11/12. Review of the Medical Nutrition Therapy assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 3's weight had dropped to 109 pounds (significant weight loss of 8.4%). RD 1 documented the resident needed extensive assistance to eat and was eating an average of 40% of her meals. The RD did not assess the reason Resident 3 only ate 40% of her meals or the reasons for the weight loss. The RD showed the resident may benefit from an appetite stimulating medication. Her recommendations were to continue the current diet, recommend an appetite stimulating medication, and continue to monitor the intake and weight of the resident. The RD did not document she called the physician to recommend the appetite stimulating medication, did not recommend weekly weights, and did not interview the resident's family to determine if the resident likes the foods being served or to obtain her food preferences. Although the RD had documented the resident needs extensive assistance to eat, she did not assess what assistance was needed by the resident, such as a feeding program or special eating devices. Review of the Interdisciplinary Attendance Log for Resident 3 showed RD 1 met with the nursing department to discuss the resident's plan of care on 9/19/12. Review of the Interdisciplinary Progress Notes dated 9/19/12, showed no documentation regarding Resident 3's weight loss or poor food intake. Review of the physician's orders for 9/11/12 through 12/11/12, showed Resident 3 was not started on any medication to stimulate her appetite, and no new interventions for weight loss were initiated. Review of the Resident Functional Performance Records for September, October and November, 2012, showed Resident 3 was eating an average of 48% of her meals. Review of the weight record showed on 12/6/12, Resident 3's weight was 102 pounds. The record showed the resident had a significant weight loss. Review of the Interdisciplinary Progress Notes dated 12/6/12, showed no documentation from the IDT regarding Resident 3's weight loss. In addition, review of the Interdisciplinary Attendance Log showed no documentation the RD or the FSD was present during the meeting. An interview with Resident 3's family member was initiated on 12/12/12 at 1300 hours. The family member was asked if the facility discussed the resident's weight loss with him. The family member stated, no. The family member was asked if he was asked about Resident 3's food preferences by the facility; he stated he couldn't recall being asked. An interview with RD 2 was initiated on 12/13/12 at 1100 hours. RD 2 was asked to show any interventions that were initiated for Resident 3 to stop the resident's weight loss. RD 2 stated she was not able to find documentation RD 1 contacted the physician, or recommended an appetite stimulating medication. RD 2 confirmed no new interventions for the resident's weight loss have been initiated since 5/29/12.

Based on interview and clinical record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate fluid intake for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 1). The intake and output monitoring for Resident 1, including the 24 totals totals were incomplete for the 25 days. In addition, there were no daily urine output measurements which showed Resident 1 was receiving adequate fluids for 25 days, and no evaluation or follow up. Resident 1 was dependent on staff for fluid intake through a GT (a tube surgically inserted into the stomach to administer fluids and nutrition). Resident 1 was transferred to the acute care hospital and diagnosed with [REDACTED]. Findings: According to the National Institutes of Health, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, online encyclopedia (www.nih.gov), signs and symptoms of dehydration include dry oral mucosa (the lining in the mouth) and dark yellow or amber colored urine. Review of the facility's P&P titled Hydration dated May, 2009, showed sufficient fluid means the amount of fluid needed to prevent dehydration. Intake is the measurable amount of fluid taken in by the body, and output is the measurable fluid that comes out of the body. Signs and symptoms of dehydration include dry lips and mouth and concentrated urine. For residents in which intake and output is being monitored, the licensed nurse will ensure the intake and output amounts are documented on the Intake and Output Record. The night shift staff will tally the 24 hour intake and output totals and evaluate the data. The average daily intake should be equivalent to the daily output (urine). On 10/31/11, clinical record review for Resident 1 was initiated. Resident 1 had a history of [REDACTED]. The MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 was cognitively impaired and dependent on staff for all ADLs, including the intake of fluids. The physician's orders [REDACTED].
