Based on closed medical record review, hospital record review, facility policy review, and interviews, the facility failed to timely identify and seek necessary medical intervention following an acute change in condition for Resident #78. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy, with actual serious life-threatening harm beginning on 03/12/26 at 12:34 P.M., when Resident #78 was noted to be lethargic (a reduced level of consciousness), with elevated blood glucose of 522 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL, normal results 70-99 mg/dL). The resident's blood sugar was not re-checked for four hours and remained elevated at 353 mg/dL when it was rechecked. The resident continued with limited food and fluid intake and lethargy. The facility failed to monitor the resident, provide comprehensive assessments, and medical support for the resident. On 03/13/26 at 8:30 A.M. Resident #78 became unresponsive and could not be awakened by a sternal rub (painful physical stimuli). Certified Nurse Practitioner, (CNP) #561 was notified, and the resident was transferred and admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital with diagnoses of severe sepsis with septic shock, acute encephalopathy, multifactorial in the setting of hypernatremia and sepsis, acute kidney injury, hyperglycemia, urinary tract infection, hypernatremia. The resident remained in the hospital receiving medical treatment until 03/25/26 and returned to the facility with hospice services. The resident passed away at the facility on 04/14/26. A concern that did not rise to the level of Immediate Jeopardy but did rise to the level of Actual Harm was identified on 08/21/25 when the facility failed to take action when Resident #88, who was cognitively impaired and required substantial to maximal assistance with toileting hygiene and was assessed as being incontinent, had not had a bowel movement documented in three days. There was no evidence Resident #88 had a bowel movement from 08/19/25 until 08/26/25. On 08/26/25, Resident #88 was discharged to the hospital due to a change in his condition. At the hospital on [DATE], Resident #88 received a computed tomography (CT) scan of his abdomen, which revealed a moderately stool-distended rectal vault with findings that he was developing stercoral colitis, a rare but serious inflammation of the colon caused by fecal impaction, which could lead to life-threatening complications if untreated. The resident received treatment and services of disimpaction while in the hospital for 11 days.In addition, concerns that did not rise to the level of Immediate Jeopardy or Actual Harm were identified related to the facility's failure to ensure treatments were provided in management of congestive heart failure (CHF), vascular wounds, change in condition related to urinary tract infections, and glaucoma.

ADON #226 and ADON #381 completed assessments on all fifty-seven residents' current condition and obtained a full set of vital signs on all current residents. -On 04/10/26, the DON or a designee began daily audits for two weeks. After two weeks the audits would be completed three times a week for two weeks, then weekly for two weeks, and then as need to ensure residents with a change in condition was timely identified, a thorough assessment completed including vital signs and notification to the physician as soon as possible with clinical findings documented in the clinical record. This would be monitored through review of the resident nursing progress notes and vital signs. The DON/designee would conduct an observational audit on five residents three times a week for four weeks and then as needed to ensure residents were not experiencing a change in condition that was not previously identified. Any concerns identified with the audits would be forwarded to QAPI committee weekly for four weeks and as-needed for immediate follow-up. The administrator would be responsible for ongoing compliance.Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 04/10/26, the facility remained out of compliance at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility was in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance.

Review of the care plan dated 04/03/26 revealed Resident #78 was at risk for alteration in blood glucose metabolism related to diabetes mellitus. The care plan included facility staff should observe the resident for signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and notify the physician. Review of the nursing progress notes revealed on 03/12/26 at 12:34 P.M. Registered Nurse (RN) #270 assessed Resident #78 to be very lethargic, and the resident's blood glucose was noted to be elevated at 522 milligrams per deciliter, (mg/dl). Pulse, oxygen saturation, temperature and blood pressure were not documented as being obtained/recorded at this time. RN #270 notified CNP #561, who requested the resident be given Lispro (a rapid-acting, man-made insulin used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes by controlling high blood sugar, particularly after meals. It works within 10–15 minutes, peaks in 30–90 minutes and lasts 2–5 hours) to resolve her high blood glucose, and facility staff were to continue to monitor the resident for the next 24 hours. Review of the vital sign documentation in the facility's medical record of Resident #78 revealed the next blood glucose reading, entered into the resident's medical record at 4:03 P.M. was elevated at 353 mg/dl. This was also the scheduled time of the insulin administration, which would have prompted the nurse for the resident's current blood glucose. Neither additional vital signs (pulse, oxygen saturation, respirations, temperature and blood pressure) nor physical assessment of the resident were completed at this time. Review of the vital sign documentation in Resident #78's medical record revealed on 03/12/26 at 8:05 P.M. the resident's blood glucose was elevated at 212 mg/dl. The resident's pulse was documented to be 85 beats per minute, (BPM) and blood pressure 123/69 millimeters of mercury (mm hg). Oxygen saturation, respirations, temperature and physical assessment were not documented as completed at this time. There were no additional vital sign monitoring, blood glucose readings, or physical assessments of the resident completed overnight on 03/12/26. The vital sign documentation in Resident #78's medical record reflected on 03/13/26 at 8:32 A.M. the resident's blood glucose was elevated at 391 mg/dl. This was also the scheduled time of Resident #78's insulin administration, which would have prompted the nurse for the resident's current blood glucose. Record review revealed no additional physical assessment or vital sign monitoring (pulse, oxygen saturation, respirations, temperature and blood pressure) were completed at this time. Review of the nursing progress note revealed on 03/13/26 at 9:54 A.M. LPN #256 found Resident #78 unresponsive and unarousable, even after attempting a sternal rub. CNP #561 was notified, who issued an order for Resident #78 to be transferred to the hospital. Review of the hospital records for Resident #78 revealed the resident was admitted to the critical care unit, with mechanical ventilation required. She was hospitalized from [DATE] until 03/25/26. During her hospital stay, she was found to be in septic shock related to pneumonia and a urinary tract infection. The resident's (hospital) course was further complicated by acute kidney injury on top of chronic kidney disease, significant electrolyte imbalances, and high blood sugar levels. The resident's treatment course included mechanical ventilation, intravenous fluids, and antibiotics. Palliative care was consulted during her stay, and the resident's family chose to continue hospice services following her discharge from the hospital. At the time of the resident's hospital stay, the hospitalist noted the resident was medically stable for discharge but remained minimally responsive and on supplemental oxygen.Review of the acute care hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed on 03/13/26, Resident #78 presented to the emergency room with altered mental status.

The resident was also assessed to be severely dehydrated. Interview on 04/08/26 at 3:34 P.M. with CNP #561, revealed after Resident #78's abnormal blood sugar value of 522 mg/dL was reported to her and she ordered a medication intervention (lispro), her expectation was that resident's blood glucose be re-checked in an hour and the nurse would have called her back if the value continued to be elevated. She denied being notified that Resident #78 had a change in condition and was lethargic. She stated her expectation was that the nurse would have obtained a full set of vital signs once the change in condition was noted. CNP #561 revealed with this additional information she would have ordered additional monitoring tests for the resident, including a urinalysis, which would have detected the urinary tract infection the resident had. Interview with RN #270 on 04/09/26 at 9:21 AM revealed the RN confirmed on 03/12/26 she noticed Resident #78 appeared more lethargic than usual. She stated called the provider who said the resident should be closely monitored for the next 24 hours. Following her administration of the ordered intervention (lispro), she stated she re-checked the resident's blood glucose level two hours later and it was still high. She recalled checking again two hours later and it was in the 300's so she called the provider who gave no new orders at that time. She said she thought she checked the resident's vital signs (including temperature) and believed they were normal but stated she could not recall if she recorded any of these values in the resident's medical record. The RN stated even though the resident's blood glucose level had come down, the resident remained very lethargic (abnormal for the resident). RN #270 verified a second call to the provider was not recorded in the resident's medical record.

She said when she visited the resident in her room, the resident appeared very sleepy and would not respond when the CNA greeted her. She stated when she returned about an hour later, the resident wouldn't wake up. She said she alerted the nurse, who indicated she had already notified the medical provider. Interview on 04/09/26 at 2:25 PM with LPN #234, who provided care for Resident #78 on 03/12/26 overnight, revealed she recalled being advised by the day shift nurse that Resident #78 had been very sleepy all day. LPN #234 revealed she was concerned the resident would barely open her eyes and would not speak to her, as she normally did. Interview on 04/09/26 at 2:36 P.M. with LPN #256 revealed she recalled being called by another staff member to Resident #78's room because the resident was unresponsive (on 03/13/26).

CNP #561 recalled telling RN #270 to continue monitoring the resident. She stated her expectation was that the nursing staff would have obtained vitals at least every shift and reported to her if they were abnormal. She said she was not made aware that the resident had (new onset) diarrhea. The CNP revealed this was information she would have liked to know because this would be considered a significant change. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Change in the Resident's Condition or Status, updated 05/01/25 revealed it was the facility's policy the resident's medical provider was notified of changes to the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial status.

Review of Resident #88's certified nurse practitioner (CNP) visit note dated 08/12/25 and authored by CNP #561 revealed Resident #88 had benign prostatic hyperplasia, he had a urinary catheter in place and was to follow up at an outpatient urology appointment. Review of Resident #88's outpatient urology progress note dated 08/13/25 revealed Resident #88 did not require a urinary catheter. The resident was not retaining urine, as he had only 30 ml of urine in his bladder. As a result, the urologist determined the resident no longer required a urinary catheter and the catheter was removed. The urologist determined that if Resident #88 were to ever go back into urinary retention, a better option would be a suprapubic catheter rather than a urethral catheter. Resident #88 and his family were given education on voiding dysfunction. The plan was made to observe Resident #88 for signs of urinary retention.

Resident #88 was subsequently discharged to an alternate extended care facility with hospice services in stable condition. Interviews with RN Supervisor #412 on 04/14/26 at 7:08 P.M., RN Supervisor #270 on 04/15/26 at 3:51 P.M., LPN Supervisor #234 on 04/16/25 at 8:52 A.M., and LPN Supervisor #258 on 04/16/25 at 8:49 A.M. revealed Resident #88 had a urinary catheter in place during the entire time they had provided care for Resident #88. The interviews revealed staff denied awareness of any (physician) orders to remove Resident #88's urinary catheter per the urologist's orders. The staff interviewed denied knowledge of any complications related to Resident #88's urinary catheter, stated they did not have knowledge of any monitoring concerns of Resident #88's urinary catheter output, they did not reinsert Resident #88's urinary catheter, nor did they obtain orders to reinsert Resident #88's catheter. An interview with Regional Nurse Consultant #594 on 04/15/26 at 3:45 P.M. revealed the facility did not have the urologist after visit summary orders for 08/13/25 available for review, the nurses never discontinued the physician orders for the catheter care on 08/13/25, that there were no progress notes indicating that nursing was aware of the orders to discontinue the urinary catheter on 08/13/25, and that there was no indication that Resident #88 had physician orders to reinsert the urinary catheter after the 08/13/25 catheter removal.An interview with Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #561 on 04/15/26 at 4:07 P.M. revealed on 08/19/25, CNP #561 had reviewed Resident #88's urologist after visit summary (from the 08/13/25 visit) and CNP #561 had learned Resident #88 had passed a voiding trial in the urologist office, and therefore, Resident #88's urinary catheter had been removed. On 08/18/25, CNP #561 had observed Resident #88 had a urinary catheter in place, but she was unaware of any orders to reinsert Resident #88's urinary catheter.

CNA #375 vaguely recalled the possibility the nurse who worked on 08/14/25 with CNA #375 was the nurse who reinserted Resident #88's urinary catheter on that date. Record review revealed the nurse who had provided care for Resident #88 while CNA #375 was working on 08/14/25 was LPN Supervisor #258. However, during the onsite survey investigation, interview with this LPN denied reinserting Resident #88's urinary catheter after the resident returned from the urologist appointment on 08/13/25 without a urinary catheter in place. An interview with CNA #385 on 04/16/25 at 2:22 P.M. revealed the CNA recalled Resident #88 had a urinary catheter in place the entire time he/she provided care to him (which was on 08/16/25 and 08/17/25). Review of the facility policy titled, Telephone Orders, updated on 05/01/25, revealed it was the facility policy to accept verbal orders in person or via telephone from a provider to promote the continuity of the resident's care. Orders may be reduced to writing or entering into the electronic medical record by the person receiving the order. Review of the facility policy titled, Urinary Catheter Care, updated on 05/09/25, revealed the urine volume in the drainage bag should be observed. If there was a significant increase or decrease in volume during the shift, it should be reported to the nurse.

Based on observation, record review, staff interview and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive and individualized pressure ulcer prevent program to ensure residents were thoroughly assessed, interventions were initiated timely and in place as planned and/or staff timely identified the development new pressure ulcers. This affected two residents (#216 and #213) of six residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 61. Actual Harm occurred on 08/04/24 when Resident #216, who was at risk for pressure ulcer development and dependent on staff for activities of daily living, was assessed to develop an unstageable (full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because the wound bed is obscured by slough or eschar) pressure ulcer to the sacrum. On 08/13/24 the wound physician assessed the pressure ulcer to be a Stage IV (full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer). The resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with intact skin. The facility failed to ensure adequate interventions were in place to prevent the develop of this unstageable pressure ulcer and to timely identify the ulcer before it was found unstageable. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #216 revealed an admitted [DATE] with diagnoses including arthritis, urinary tract infection, acute kidney failure, muscle weakness, spinal stenosis, and body mass index (BMI) of 42. Review of local hospital documentation from the resident's hospitalization from [DATE] to 07/31/24 revealed no documentation supporting Resident #216 had any type of skin impairment/sacral pressure ulcer prior to discharge from the hospital/prior to admission to the facility. Review of an admitting nurse progress note dated 07/31/24 revealed a skin assessment was completed with no noted concerns for skin impairments. Review of nursing admission assessment completed 07/31/24 revealed the assessment contained a Braden skin assessment that indicated the resident scored a 16 placing her at mild risk for skin breakdown based on the following scoring criteria: the resident was slightly limited in mobility, skin was occasionally moist, the resident was chair fast, the resident had adequate nutrition, and the resident was at mid friction/shear risk. These factors left the resident at mild risk for skin impairment and injuries. Additionally, the resident was receiving steroid medication therapy, which recognized the resident as a high risk for skin breakdown. The admission assessment documented the resident had no skin alterations. Review of a baseline care plan revealed a wound goal was not applicable with no wound prevention and/or treatment approaches added for the resident at the time of admission or based on her assessed risk for skin breakdown. Review of a skilled nursing note dated 08/02/24 revealed Resident #216's skin was intact, warm, and dry. Review of wound grid documentation dated 08/04/24 revealed Resident #216 had an in-house acquired unstageable (full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because the wound bed is obscured by slough or eschar) pressure injury (to the sacrum) measuring 24 centimeters (cm) in length by 15 cm in width by an undetermined depth. The wound description indicated a wound bed with 70% slough present, moderate serous exudate present, with deep tissue injury noted to the surrounding sacrum wound bed. Review of the physician's orders revealed a new order dated 08/04/24 to cleanse sacrum with normal saline, pat dry, apply calcium alginate, and then place dry dressing. Review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact. The assessment revealed the resident was dependent (on staff) for toileting, hygiene and bed mobility. The assessment also revealed the resident was at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries and exhibited no behaviors or rejection of care. Review of the wound physician notes dated 08/13/24 revealed Resident #216 developed a Stage IV (full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer) pressure ulcer, first found by facility staff on 08/04/24. Resident #216 was evaluated by the wound physician on 08/13/24. During the assessment, the wound was classified as a Stage IV pressure ulcer located on the sacrum, measuring eight cm in length by eight cm width with five cm depth, resulting in a total surface area of 64 cm. A procedure was completed where the doctor surgically excised 12.8 cm of devitalized tissue, and necrotic periosteum and bone were removed at a depth of five cm. The nonviable tissue in the wound bed decreased from 30 percent to 10 percent. There was a treatment ordered to apply calcium alginate and Santyl, and apply a gauze island with a border once daily for 30 days. Review of a physician's progress note dated 08/16/24 revealed new diagnosis of pressure injury of sacral region of back: noted on 08/06/24. During an interview on 09/25/24 at 8:01 A.M. with Resident #216, the resident verified staff identified she had a wound to her sacrum after she admitted to the facility. Interview on 09/25/24 at 11:24 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #304 revealed she completed the admitting skin assessment on Resident #216 on 07/31/24, however she stated she did not thoroughly assess the resident's buttocks area due to a concern for an invasion of privacy. RN #304 revealed the facility policy required a second nurse from management to complete a second skin assessment 24 hours after admission. Interview on 09/25/24 at 11:26 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the facility assessed Resident #216's sacral wound as being in-house acquired because it was identified five days after admission. During the interview, the DON confirmed the lack of interventions to prevent pressure ulcer development at the time of admission. Interview on 09/26/24 at 11:36 A.M. with the DON, Regional Nurse Consultant #300, and Assistant Director of Nursing #238 confirmed if a resident was identified at risk when completing a Braden assessment, interventions should be implemented, such as an air mattress, offloading supports, and frequent turns to prevent acquiring a wound. They confirmed Resident #216 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a nursing assessment documenting the absence of pressure areas. Staff confirmed Resident #216 was assessed to have an unstageable pressure ulcer on 08/04/24. During the interview, the DON confirmed facility staff also failed to complete a second skin check per skin policy and implement dressings and interventions timely. Interview on 09/26/24 at 11:39 A.M. with Wound Physician (WP) #307 confirmed facility staff first identified a pressure ulcer on Resident #216's sacrum approximately five days after admission. Attempts to observe the resident's skin/wound care were made during the onsite survey; however, staff, who were aware of the surveyor's request to observe the area/wound care completed wound care without allowing the surveyor to observe. Review of the facility undated policy titled Pressure Injuries: Assessment, Prevention and Treatment revealed it was the facility policy to identify residents at risk for developing pressure injuries, implement interventions to prevent the development of pressure injuries and provide care for existing pressure injuries. Review of the facility undated policy titled Admission Skin Assessment Protocol revealed the Assistant Director of Nursing would complete a second skin assessment the following business day (after admission) and document any new findings in the clinical record. 2.

Review of the Braden skin assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #213 was at moderate risk for skin breakdown, necessitating close monitoring and intervention. Review of a functional limitation of the range of motion assessment completed on 09/09/24 revealed Resident #213 had limitation on one leg, with partial loss of voluntary movement. The summary identified significant challenges in ability to complete activities of daily living. Review of admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #213 had severe cognitive impairment, required substantial (staff) assist with bed mobility and was at risk for pressure ulcer development. Review of the care plan dated 09/25/24 revealed Resident #213 was at risk of skin breakdown related to impaired mobility, cognitive challenges, and poor nutritional intake. Care approaches included applying skin prep to bilateral heels as ordered to prevent skin injury and encouraging/assisting the resident to float her heels as tolerated, alongside implementing bilateral offloading boots. Review of physician's orders dated 09/18/24 revealed an order for off-loading boots to both heels while in bed to promote healthy skin integrity due to the resident's limited mobility. During an interview on 09/23/24 at 10:31 A.M. with Resident #213 and the resident's family concerns were voiced related to facility staff not placing support boots under the resident's feet while she was in bed. Observation at the time of the interview revealed the resident was in bed without any type of off-loading boots in place. Observations on 09/24/24 at 3:15 P.M., 4:26 P.M., and 5:20 P.M. revealed the resident was in bed and did not have off-loading boots in place at the time of these observations.

RN #70 documented that the Oxycodone was not given at that time. A note at 9:17 P.M. by RN #70 stated the medication was pending delivery and the pharmacy computer was not able to give authorization. Review of a nursing progress note on 02/26/24 at 12:30 A.M. revealed the pharmacy delivered the Oxycodone and it was given late at that time (for the 10:00 P.M. dose on 02/25/24). Review of the Controlled Drug Receipt/Disposition Form revealed a quantity of 30 Oxycodone pills were received on 02/26/24 with the first dose signed out on 02/26/24 at 12:15 A.M. by RN #80. Review of the treatment administration record for 02/25/24 for 7:30 P.M. to 7:30 A.M. revealed RN #80 also documented that Resident #50 had no pain during the shift. Interview with RN #80 on 03/06/24 at 12:30 P.M. confirmed she gave the last dose of Oxycodone that was available to Resident #50 on 02/24/24 for the 10:00 P.M. dose. She stated a refill sticker should be faxed to the pharmacy a couple of days before a medication runs out so the pharmacy has time to refill and deliver it before the resident runs out. She stated she did not remember if the sticker had been removed when she gave the last dose or if she removed the sticker and faxed it to the pharmacy when the last dose was administered. She stated she called the pharmacy to authorize getting a dose out of the emergency supply for the dose at 6:00 A.M. on 02/25/24 but the pharmacy was unable to authorize this due to a glitch in their system. She stated the Oxycodone was not delivered from the pharmacy until 02/26/24. She stated she then gave the 02/25/24 10:00 P.M. dose late at 12:15 A.M. on 02/26/24. She confirmed that, although she documented that Resident #50 had no pain during the shift, the resident had chronic pain so she was having pain. She stated she did not know what level of pain the resident had. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 03/06/24 at 11:40 A.M. confirmed Resident #50 did not receive her scheduled pain medication (Oxycodone) from 10:00 P.M. on 02/24/24 to 12:15 A.M. on 02/26/24 (over 26 hours). She stated she did not know why the facility ran out. She stated the nurse was to reorder the medication soon enough that the pharmacy has time to deliver it. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00151307.

F684G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to monitor a resident for worsening shingles and failed to administer as needed stool softeners to prevent a bowel obstruction. This affected one resident (#13) of three residents reviewed for constipation and altered mental status. The facility census was 66. Actual harm occurred on 12/18/23 when Resident #13 was diagnosed with shingles and staff failed to monitor the resident for neurological complications resulting in a neurological change in condition requiring hospitalization and treatment. In addition, on 12/28/23 actual harm occurred to Resident #13, with a diagnosis of constipation, when facility staff failed to assess and monitor the resident and failed to provide ordered medical treatment when the resident did not have a bowel movement for six days resulting in the resident experiencing a bowel obstruction requiring hospitalization and treatment. Findings included: Record review revealed Resident #13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, hypertension, type II diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hyperlipidemia, and constipation. Additional diagnoses were added on 01/01/24 including encephalopathy and abdominal distention. Review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 10/03/23 revealed Resident #13 had intact cognition, no behaviors, was always incontinent of bowel, and was dependent on staff for toileting assistance. a. Review of a nursing note dated 12/18/23 at 4:56 P.M. by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #101 revealed Resident #13 called Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #101 into her room regarding red, raised areas to her face which appeared to be filled with fluid, and Resident #13 reported they burned and itched. Resident #13 was sent to the emergency department for evaluation for possible shingles. Review of a hospital note from 12/18/23 revealed Resident #13 presented to the emergency department with a facial rash that began three days prior which was consistent with shingles. Resident #13 was discharged from the emergency department back to the facility on [DATE] with a prescription for an anti-viral medication, Valtrex, one 1,000 mg tablet by mouth three times a day for seven days. There was no documented evidence Resident #13 was being monitored to assess her condition related to the diagnosis of shingles to her face and possible neurological complications. Review of a nursing note dated 12/23/23 at 10:29 A.M. by LPN #102 revealed a skin check was completed and no new skin areas or issues were noted for Resident #13. There was no documented evidence the condition of the resident's shingles was assessed. b. Review of Resident #13's care plan revealed Resident #13 was incontinent of bowel and at risk for altered dignity, skin breakdown, diarrhea, and constipation with a goal of having a soft bowel movement at least every three days without any complications including constipation. Interventions included administer medications per physician orders, assess quarterly and as needed for changes in elimination pattern, observe and record bowel movements daily for amount and consistency, and observe and report any diarrhea, constipation, change in bowel movement, and abdominal distention or discomfort. Review of physician's orders revealed orders from 01/01/24 for Dulcolax suppository once a day, Milk of Magnesia (MOM) 400 milligrams (mg) per five milliliters (ml) give 15 ml at bedtime, Miralax 17 grams twice a day, and Sennosides-Docusate Sodium 8.6-50 mg one tablet twice a day. Review of a medication administration record (MAR) from December 2023 revealed Resident #13 had an order started on 11/21/23 for Miralax 17 grams twice a day which one dose was not administered on 12/01/23, 12/07/23, and 12/09/23 due to condition. There was no evidence or explanation of what due to condition meant. Resident #13 had an order for Senna 8.6 mg twice a day ordered on 11/21/23 which one dose was not administered on 12/01/23, 12/07/23, 12/09/23 or 12/10/23 due to condition. There was no evidence or explanation of what due to condition meant. Resident #13 also had an as needed order for Dulcolax suppository 10 mg once a day ordered on 11/21/23 which was not administered in December 2023, Lactulose solution 20 ml twice a day as needed ordered on 11/21/23 which was not administered in December 2023, and Sennosides-Docusate Sodium 8.6-50 mg once a day as needed ordered on 11/22/23 which was not administered in December 2023. Review of Bowel Movement Reports for December 2023 revealed Resident #13 did not have a bowel movement on 12/17/23, 12/19/23, 12/20/23, 12/23/23, 12/24/23, 12/25/23 or 12/26/23. Resident #13 had a small bowel movement on 12/16/23, a medium bowel movement on 12/18/23, a small bowel movement on 12/21/23, a large bowel movement on 12/22/23, and a large bowel movement on 12/27/23. Review of Bowel Control Reports from December 2023 revealed Resident #13 was incontinent. Review of a nursing note dated 12/23/23 at 10:29 A.M. by LPN #102 revealed a skin check was completed and no new skin areas or issues were noted for Resident #13. There was no documented evidence the condition of the resident's shingles was assessed. Review of a nursing note dated 12/28/23 at 10 A.M. by LPN #102 revealed Resident #13 had decreased strength in her right arm, a fixed stare, unable to follow directions, and responded to questions with mumbled and nonsensical speech. A new order was received to send Resident #13 to the emergency department. Review of a hospital note from 12/28/23 revealed Resident #13 presented to the emergency department for altered mental status. Resident #13 was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of encephalopathy and abdominal distention. A CT scan of Resident #13's abdomen and pelvis revealed Resident #13 had severe diffuse dilation of the colon and a large amount of stool associated with a chronic obstruction. The resident was admitted to the hospital for treatment. Review of a hospital discharge from 01/01/24 revealed it was undetermined if the encephalopathy was caused by herpes simplex virus or severe constipation. Due to the treatment of constipation, a lumbar puncture would expose the resident to iatrogenic infection. After discussion with the interdisciplinary team a 14 day course of Acyclovir, an anti-viral, was prescribed for treatment as well as Senna S twice daily and Milk of Magnesia. Review of a history and physical completed on 01/03/24 by Physician #300 revealed Resident #13 was treated for constipation with bowel regimen during admission to the hospital from 12/28/23 through 01/01/24. Results of an abdomen radiograph completed on 12/30/23 was reviewed and showed large stool burden predominantly within the distal large bowel, redemonstration of gaseous distention of large bowel, and development of dilated gas-filled small bowel loops which were likely secondary to upstream dilation from the large bowel findings. All findings were likely due to severe constipation of colonic ileus. Interview on 01/16/24 at 1:09 P.M. with Resident #13 revealed before she went to the hospital, Resident #13 went two weeks without having a bowel movement. Resident #13 reported she would let the aides know she had not had a bowel movement when they would come to change her, but no one ever gave her additional medications to help. Resident #13 stated she was still struggling with constipation, but the facility had started to administer stool softeners which has helped. Resident #13 revealed she was now having a bowel movement daily. Interview on 01/16/24 at 3:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed there was not a protocol that was followed for constipation specifically. The facility attempts to give the resident prune juice first, then moves on to contacting the physician for orders. The DON reported the resident was flagged after three days of having no bowel movement then administered softeners if it was not their normal bowel pattern. The DON reported water was passed at a minimum of once per shift and staff encourage fluids intakes and offer flavor packets if needed. The DON also reported Resident #13 was sent to the hospital at first due to shingles on her face and wanting to ensure it did not spread to her optic nerve. The DON stated Resident #13 was placed in a private room on isolation until the pustules crusted over. Once Resident #13 was out of isolation, she then had stroke-like symptoms and was sent to the hospital again. The DON reported the facility did track how many days Resident #13 was on isolation precautions but did not have a monitoring system for worsening signs or symptoms of shingles. The DON reported she did not think the nurses put any documentation in the chart regarding monitoring of the pustules to determine if they have crusted over. The DON reported Resident #13 returned from the hospital on 12/18/23 with an order for an anti-viral medication and the medication did not start until 12/20/23 because it had to be delivered from their pharmacy which was located in [NAME] (Ohio). The DON stated two days was the typical wait time for a medication they do not have in the building. The DON confirmed Resident #13 had several days without a bowel movement, but she did have one on 12/18/23, 12/21/23 and 12/27/23. The DON confirmed constipation was not addressed between 12/21/23 and 12/27/23 which was longer than normal. The DON confirmed as needed stool softeners were not given and she was unsure of what not administered due to condition meant for Miralax and Senna. The DON confirmed there were no nursing notes explaining what due to condition meant. The DON stated she was unaware of Resident #13 having an impaction because the hospital and Resident #13's brother did not ever call to let them know. The DON stated she was unaware of the treatment Resident #13 received at the hospital. The DON stated she was unsure why the hospital gave Resident #13 additional doses of an anti-viral to complete. Review of an undated Bowel (Lower Gastrointestinal Tract) Disorders Protocol revealed assessment and recognition of bowel disorders should be assessed by change in mental status or level in consciousness, presence of fecal impaction, signs of dehydration, abdominal assessment, digital rectal exam, all current medications, active diagnoses, and labs. Review of Complications of Shingles dated 05/10/23 from the Center for Disease Control website revealed shingles can also lead to infection of the lungs, hearing problems, brain inflammation (encephalitis), and death. People with weakened immune systems are more likely to have complications from shingles. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00149782.

Resident #63 was administered these medications in error as the medications were ordered for her roommate, Resident #64. Review of a statement written by the Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) on 01/13/20 at 8:55 [NAME]M. indicated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #101 reported she had administered wrong medications to Resident #63. LPN #101 stated she assessed the resident and she appeared fine at this time. The ADON went to Resident #63's room and found the resident out of bed, working with therapy. The resident stated she would like to continue therapy and shower. The ADON noted she then contacted Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #150 who ordered to check Resident #63 blood pressure every 30 minutes for four hours and the nurse practitioner reported she would be at the facility to assess Resident #63. The guardian was also notified and requested the facility to keep her updated on Resident #63's condition. Review of progress note by CNP #150 dated 01/13/20 (no time) indicated Resident #63 was seen due to wrong medications being administered, acute decline in mental status and condition.

LPN #101 reported she immediately recognized the error and immediately reported to the ADON. Review of the EMS transport record dated 01/13/20 indicated Resident #63 was seen at the facility at 11:57 [NAME]M. at which time blood pressure was 86/48, pulse 72 and respirations 12. Review of the emergency room admission record indicated due to Resident #63 being hypotensive, intravenous (IV) fluids and 500 micrograms (mcg) of [MEDICATION NAME] IV was administered. Resident #63 was noted as becoming a bit more somnolent with a blood pressure in the low 50s systolic. Initial electrocardiogram (EKG) showed a paced rhythm, however, repeat EKG showed significant ectopy and rhythm was widened. Resident #63's blood pressure improved, however, dropped again. Resident #63 was started on [MEDICATION NAME], however, blood pressure remained in the upper 40s and low 50s. When intensive care unit (ICU) staff came to the emergency room to evaluate Resident #63, it was determined to intubate the resident before transporting to ICU due to unstable nature of current condition. Shortly after intubation, Resident #63 was transferred to ICU in critical condition. Review of ICU documentation dated 01/13/20 indicated upon arrival to ICU, a central line was inserted and Resident #63 remained intubated and sedated with family at bedside.

At this time, Resident #63 stated she had not received any injections since discharged from hospital. LPN #101 stated this alerted her to a possible medication concern and when she returned to the medication cart, she realized she had administered Resident #64's medications to Resident #63. LPN #101 stated she had previously removed a hospital band from Resident #63's arm per resident request, however, did not look at the resident's name on the band since she responded to Resident #64's name. LPN #101 confirmed she had not looked at the resident's identification bracelet and later discovered the bracelet was on Resident #63's upper arm instead of wrist. LPN #101 stated she immediately informed the ADON who notified CNP #150 and blood pressure monitoring occurred every 30 minutes. LPN #101 reported Resident #63 went to therapy, however, after returning, her blood pressure started dropping and that was when CNP #150 was present and ordered Resident #63 transferred to acute care facility. Review of facility policy titled Medication Administration, dated 09/08/17, revealed medications would be administered as prescribed and in accordance with written orders of the attending physician. Residents were to be identified before medication administered by checking identification band, check photograph attached to medical record, call resident by name and if necessary, verify resident identification with other facility personnel.
