1 findingTHE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENCE OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY. Based on medical record review, staff interviews, review of written statements, review of hospital records, and review of facility policy, the facility failed ensure a resident was provided incontinence care with two-person assistance. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for serious life-threatening harm and/or injuries when Resident #01, who required the assistance of two staff for bed mobility, was provided incontinence care by only one staff, State tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #05. Resident #01 rolled off the bed and onto the floor, suffering closed fractures to both femurs that required surgical repair. Resident #01 had surgery on 02/05/23 and the surgeon could only place external fixators to both femurs because Resident #01 went into atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR) and had to be mechanically ventilated. When she became stable on 02/08/23, it was discovered the pin on her left femur was causing tension on her skin and she was taken back to surgery to place a left femoral nail. This affected one (Resident #01) of three residents reviewed for falls. The census was 87. On 02/13/23 at 2:40 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Chief Operating Officer (COO) #03, and Regional Clinical Nurse (RCN) #04 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 02/04/23 at 4:55 P.M. when Resident #01, who required two staff assistance for bed mobility, was rolled out of the bed by one STNA (#05) during incontinence care and fell to the floor. STNA #05 asked Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #07 to come into the room and stated the resident fell out of bed while she was changing her. LPN #07 went into the room and found Resident #01 laying on her back with her left leg bent and underneath her bottom. The right femur was protruding from of her right leg. Resident #01 stated she was in a lot of pain and was screaming. The nurse called nine-one-one (911) and the resident was sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Consequently, the resident sustained closed fractures to both femurs that required surgical repair. Resident #01 had surgery on 02/05/23 and the surgeon could only place external fixators to both femurs because Resident #01 went into atrial fibrillation with RVR and had to be mechanically ventilated. When she became stable on 02/08/23, it was discovered the pin on her left femur was causing tension on her skin and she was taken back to surgery to place a left femoral nail. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 02/05/23, 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) until the deficiency was corrected on 02/08/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: On 02/04/23, the DON, LPN #40, LPN #06 and LPN #46 provided education to direct care staff regarding proper procedure for bed mobility, how to identify staff assistance needed and how to pull the information from the care plan. On 02/05/23, the DON, LPN #40 LPN #06, and RCN #04 reviewed all bed bound residents that received two-person assistance with bed mobility to ensure care plans were accurate. On 02/05/23, the DON reviewed the incident and accident logs to ensure no similar instances were identified. On 02/06/23, the DON, and LPNs #40, #06, and #46 initiated audits to include direct care staff verbalizing where to find information regarding Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assistance requirement and be checked off on this process. Also, a return demonstration of pulling ADL assistance needs from plan of care especially bed mobility and demonstrate proper bed mobility and how to turn and reposition resident towards the caregiver correctly. All staff will verbalize and be checked off. On 02/07/23, the DON, and LPNs #40, #06, and #46 will conduct audits of direct care staff every shift daily, for one week and ongoing audits to consist of five direct care staff members five days a week, for four weeks. On 02/07/23, the DON, and LPNs #40, #06, and #46 placed a Kardex in the resident's closet and a binder at the nursing station for bed mobility information. The staff were educated on this information. All staff will be educated on this prior to working on the unit. On 02/07/23, the Administrator conducted a Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting with the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), COO #03, CRN #04, and the Medical Director (MD). During interviews on 02/09/23 from 1:41 P.M. to 1:51 P.M., STNAs #16, #27 and #172 stated they had been educated on two-person assistance and how to find it in the medical record, in a binder at the nursing station, and in the closet of the resident. Observation on 02/09/23 at 1:51 P.M. revealed there was a binder at the nursing stations and Kardex's in the closets of the residents so the staff could determine what kind of assistance a resident required for Activities of Daily Living (ADL).

Review of the care plan dated 12/08/22 for Resident #10 revealed she had a physical functioning deficit related to requiring additional assistance due to left hemiplegia related to mobility impairment. Interventions were assistive devices, and bed mobility with two-person assistance. Review of progress notes dated 02/04/23 at 5:11 P.M. revealed STNA #05 was providing personal care to Resident #01 at 4:55 P.M. STNA #05 asked Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #07 to come into the room and stated the resident fell out of bed while she was changing her. LPN #07 went into the room and found Resident #01 laying on her back with her left leg bent and underneath her bottom. The right femur was protruding from of her right leg. Resident #01 stated she was in a lot of pain and was screaming. The nurse did not move the resident at all. The nurse called the on-call nurse to inform her of the situation. The nurse then called 911 for the Emergency Medical Transport (EMT) to come and transport the resident to the hospital. Review of the STNA #05 ' s written statement, dated 02/04/23, documented she was changing Resident #01 and had her rolled toward her and cleaned her back side. Resident #01 asked the aide to fix her pillow. When the aide moved to fix the pillow, the resident ' s legs slipped off the bed. When her legs slid, the aide was under her head and the top of the resident ' s body to protect her. The resident ' s left leg was under her Indian style. Review of the hospital records dated 02/04/23 revealed Resident #01 presented to the emergency room with complaints of falling from the bed approximately four feet while nursing home staff was attempting to change the resident. There was obvious deformity to the right femur. She was complaining of bilateral leg pain that was severe. She was in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (RVR). She received multiple doses of intravenous Cardizem. She subsequently became hypotensive and required mechanical ventilation and vasopressors transiently. She was awake and agitated by the ventilator. Her final diagnoses included closed fracture of shaft of left and right femur. Review of hospital records dated 02/08/23 revealed Resident #01 had a left femur retrograde intramedullary nail insertion. Resident is with a history of bilateral distal femur fractures. Resident came in over the weekend on 02/04/2023 and on 02/05/2023 she was placed in bilateral femoral external fixators because she went into atrial fibrillation with RVR during the procedure. Over the last 2 days she was adequately resuscitated and when examining the pin sites earlier today the proximal pin was putting tension on the skin on the left femur so decided to take her back to the operating room for retrograde femoral nail for definitive fixation of the left femur. She had been adequately resuscitated in respect to her last acid level and base deficit under the care of her critical care team and trauma team. The hospital will continue to monitor her electrolytes and vital signs over the next couple of days and if the resident was amendable, the hospital will fix her right femur with a retrograde femoral nail and removal of external fixator on 02/10/23. During an interview on 02/09/23 at 10:51 A.M., LPN #07 stated STNA #05 asked her to come to Resident #01 ' s room. When she arrived in the room, Resident #01 was lying on the floor next to the heater that sits on the wall by the window. The resident ' s right leg was extended out and the left leg was underneath the resident to where she couldn ' t see her foot. She also observed the femur protruding out of her right leg. She stated she didn ' t move her at all. She knew she was fractured and knew she needed to get the resident to the hospital as soon as possible and made the calls and sent her out to the hospital. She revealed Resident #01 was a two-person assistance and STNA #05 provided the care by herself and didn ' t ask her to help. She said the hall was fully staffed on this day. During interview on 02/09/23 at 3:17 P.M., STNA #05 stated she had taken care of Resident #01 many times before at another facility and was comfortable with the resident. She said she was changing her on 02/04/23 and had the bed up to her waist. She turned the resident toward her to clean her bottom and kept the resident toward her when the resident asked to have her pillow readjusted. She reached up to straighten the pillow and when she repositioned the pillow the resident ' s legs started to slip off the bed. She tried to protect the resident ' s head and the upper half of the resident ' s body, but basically the resident fell on top of her. She stated the resident didn ' t hit the ground very hard, and the resident ' s left leg was Indian style, and the resident was screaming in pain. She stated she didn ' t know the resident was a two-person assistance and had provided the care by herself many times and never had a problem. She stated the hall was short staffed on this day. She stated she didn ' t look at the Kardex before her shift but knew how to look at it to determine the bed mobility of a resident. Review of policy titled Fall Prevention Program, dated 09/29/22, revealed each resident would be assessed for fall risk and will receive care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00140117 and OH000140154.
Inspection of July 21, 2022
2 findingsTHE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY Based on medical record review, staff interview, policy review, and review of the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) guidelines, the facility failed to ensure timely and adequate care and treatment for [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . This affected one (#03) of three residents reviewed for wound prevention. The census was 84. Findings include: Review of Resident #03's closed medical record revealed an admitted [DATE]. Resident #03 had diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of the medical record revealed the resident discharged to another facility on 05/17/22. Review of a care plan with the revision date of 02/06/21, revealed Resident #03 had altered skin integrity related to impaired mobility. Interventions included: complete a Braden scale per policy, conduct weekly skin inspection, provide pressure reducing wheelchair cushion, provide pressure reduction mattress, provide thorough skin care after incontinent episode, and apply barrier cream, skin assessment to be completed per policy, turn and reposition schedule per assessment, and weekly wound assessment. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed Resident #03 had no pressure ulcers/injuries, no venous and arterial ulcers, and no other ulcers, wounds, or skin problems. Skin and ulcer/injury treatments included pressure reduction device for chair and pressure reduction device for bed. The resident required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. Review of a quarterly data collection tool dated 04/26/22, revealed Resident #03 was non-ambulatory, demonstrated poor bed mobility or difficulty moving to a sitting position on the side of bed, had difficulty with balance, and/or poor trunk control. The resident risk for pressure was identified as a total score of 12, which indicated a high risk for the development of pressure sores. Review of the physician orders, Medication Administration Record [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of a nurse progress note dated 05/16/22 at 11:53 A.M., for Resident #03 revealed the resident had an unstageable pressure ulcer located on the bottom right foot. Measurements were length 10.3 cm, width 7.5 cm, and depth 0.1 cm. Drainage was identified as a moderate amount of thick green drainage with no odor. No tunneling or undermining was present. Review of a nurse progress note dated 05/16/22 at 4:58 P.M., revealed the Director of Nursing (DON) followed up with Resident #03's representative about a request to send Resident #03 to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Documentation revealed measures had been put into place to address the resident's right foot (sole) wound. The progress note revealed the representative continued to ask what exactly was on the resident's foot. The DON explained that the investigation had not been completed. Documentation revealed an x-ray of the right foot was to be ordered to rule out [CONDITION(S)], a culture of the wound to the right foot was to be ordered to rule out infection due to drainage noted upon cleansing wound, STAT (immediate) laboratory test to be ordered today included a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), complete blood count (CBC), hemoglobin (HGB) A1C, and [CONDITION(S)] stimulating hormone (TSH)), and treatment in place along with assessment of area completed. Documentation revealed the wound consultant and physician/nurse practitioner to follow up once results were in. Documentation revealed bilateral foam foot boots put in place for protection and a longer bed was ordered to prevent feet from connecting with foot board. Review of the progress note revealed the foot wound had no redness or temperature noted. Review of a discharge return not anticipated MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #03 had severe impaired cognition. The assessment revealed the resident had an unstageable pressure ulcer. Review of Nurse Practitioner (NP) #800's progress note dated 05/17/22 at 6:21 P.M., revealed Resident #03 was assessed today per nursing request for right foot wound. The arch of the resident's foot does have an open area in the center. It is surrounded by dry scaly skin with small area of black eschar at the edge of the wound closest to the heel. Staff reports thinking it occurred at the foot of the resident's bed. Documentation revealed the resident was a very tall man that does have to have the head elevated secondary to feeding tube. A conversation with the management team as well as the resident's daughter regarding diagnosis [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The resident was currently on no medications for diabetes and hospital records from prior to admission state that diabetes was diet controlled. Documentation revealed a new order for the medication [MEDICATION(S)] (antibiotic) secondary to foot wound. Review of the progress note revealed family was requesting the resident be transferred to another facility closer to the family member's house and arrangements were being made per the request. Review of a progress note titled, Weekly Skin Review dated 05/19/22, (late entry for 05/11/22) revealed a wound assessment for Resident #03 which identified an unstageable pressure wound located on the bottom of the right foot. Measurements were length of 10.3 centimeters (cm), width of 7.5 cm, and depth of 0.1 cm. The assessment revealed a moderate amount of thin, bloody drainage with no odor and no tunneling or undermining. The treatment documented on the weekly skin review was to cleanse with wound wash, pat dry, cover with calcium alginate and abdominal (ABD) pad, then wrap with gauze every day and as needed. Review of the progress note revealed there was no complaint/evidence of pain related to the pressure area. Review of a care plan with a revision date of 05/25/22 (after discharge), revealed Resident #03 had a pressure ulcer to right heel and was at risk due to assistance required in bed mobility and skin desensitized. Interventions include Braden scale per policy, conduct weekly skin inspection, provide pressure reducing wheelchair cushion, and provide pressure reduction mattress. Interview on 07/13/22 at 12:23 P.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #70 revealed on 05/11/22 State tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #20 notified LPN #70 of the resident having some bleeding located on the bottom of the right foot. LPN #70 reported it was a busy night and the LPN stopped current activity and went to assess the resident. LPN #70 revealed Resident #03's right foot was up against the foot board. LPN #70 further reported the area was white, macerated in appearance, kind of like fingers look when they have been wet for a while. LPN #70 revealed the wound was cleansed with normal saline, then calcium alginate was applied, and the foot wrapped with gauze. LPN #70 then reported being unable to recall for sure if calcium alginate was applied. Further interview with LPN #70 revealed the nurse then got busy with other nursing duties and forgot to notify the primary care provider, forgot to notify the family, and forgot to place an order for [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . LPN #70 further verified the medical record contained no evidence of wound care being completed for Resident #03 from 05/11/22 to 05/16/22. Interview on 07/13/22 at 12:45 P.M., with NP #800 revealed the wound located on the arch of Resident #03's foot appeared to come from sliding down in the bed and the way the resident foot was on the footboard. NP #800 revealed it was questionable to whether the area was an injury from hitting the foot board or if it was true pressure. NP #800 revealed the resident used an air mattress and the pump from the air mattress hung over the footboard by two metal hinges. When seeing the resident in bed, the area in which the resident foot touched the foot board was the area in which the air mattress hinge was hanging on the foot board. Interview with NP #800 revealed NP #800 was made aware of the foot wound on 05/16/22 and assessed the wound on 05/17/22. NP #800 revealed the wound was because the resident received a continuous tube feed, and the head of the bed was to be elevated at all times. Any time the resident moved in the bed the resident would go down in the bed and that was enough movement to put feet onto the footboard. NP #800 reported the antibiotic was prophylactic because the resident representative was concerned with the wound. NP #800 further reported green drainage was dried on the old dressing but after the wound was cleaned there was no active drainage. Further interview with NP #800 revealed the nurse practitioner should have been notified immediately of the wound located on Resident #03's foot. NP #800 verified the first notification of the foot wound for Resident #03 occurred on 05/16/22. Review of the undated policy titled Wound Prevention Program, revealed all open areas will be identified and documented on the appropriate forms. Resident with wounds will have appropriate treatments. Document the presence of skin impairment/new skin impairment related to pressure when first observed and weekly thereafter. Enter the current treatment plan at the initiation of the pressure ulcer and the date of the last physician progress notes [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] Review of the NPIAP guidelines dated 2014 pages 70-71 at https://npiap.com/general/custom.asp?page=2014Guidelines revealed facilities should educate health professionals on how to undertake a comprehensive skin assessment that includes the techniques for identifying blanching response, localized heat, [CONDITION(S)], and induration. Further review of the guidelines revealed ongoing assessment of the skin was necessary in order to detect early signs of pressure damage. Visual assessment for [CONDITION(S)] (redness of the skin) was the first component of every skin inspection. Skin redness and tissue [CONDITION(S)] resulting from capillary occlusion was a response to pressure. Further review revealed an unstageable pressure injury is obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss. Full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar. If slough or eschar is removed, a Stage three or Stage four pressure injury will be revealed. Stable eschar (i.e., dry, adherent, intact without [CONDITION(S)] or fluctuance) on the heel or ischemic limb should not be softened or removed. Review of the facility's corrective action revealed the following actions were implemented and the deficiency was corrected as of 07/09/22. · On 05/16/22, the Director of Nursing (DON) initiated an investigation into the wound and wound dressing located on Resident #03's right foot per family request. LPN #70 was interviewed and verified Resident #03 had a wound located on the bottom of the right foot that was discovered on 05/11/22. LPN #70 verified the primary care provider and resident representative were not notified of the wound and no treatment order was obtained. The primary care provider was notified of the resident's wound and a treatment order was obtained. · On 05/16/22, LPN #70 was disciplined and educated on following the policy upon finding a wound. The education was provided by the DON. · On 05/16/22, the DON educated all nursing staff regarding the wound program policy, notification of change, and documentation. Review of in-service sign-in sheet revealed all nursing staff were educated on the wound program. · On 05/16/122, a skin sweep was conducted for all residents with no significant findings, like residents plan of care were reviewed and updated as needed. · Skin monitoring for random residents was conducted weekly for four weeks with the initial assessments taking place the week on 05/22/22 through 05/28/22 and the last assessments occurring the week of 07/03/22 through 07/09/22. Audits and monitoring were reviewed and were completed. · Review of two additional (#01 and #05) resident medical records revealed no concerns for pressure sores. · Interviews with LPN #70, LPN #100 and STNA #50 on 07/12/22 and 07/14/22 at random times, revealed staff verified education was provided and were able to verbalize the policy and procedure for pressure sore prevention and treatment. This deficiency substantiates Master Complaint Number OH 191, and Complaint Numbers OH 851, and OH 783.
Based on resident record reviews, staff interview, review of a personnel file, fall investigation review, Self-Reported Incident (SRI) review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was provided adequate staff assistance with bed mobility. Actual harm occurred when one resident (#07) requiring two persons for bed mobility was rolled in bed and experienced a fall resulting in the fracture of the right knee and ankle. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure a second resident (#02) was provided adequate assistance during a mechanical (Hoyer) lift transfer that did not result in harm, but had the potential for more than minimal harm. This affected two (#02 and #07) of four residents reviewed for falls. The census was 84. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #07's medical record revealed an admitted [DATE]. Diagnoses for Resident #07 included: [CONDITION(S)] ([CONDITION(S)]), muscle weakness, seizures, [CONDITION(S)], and cognitive communication deficit. Review of a care plan dated 12/17/20, revealed Resident #07 had a physical function deficit related to mobility impairment and self-care impairment. Interventions include bed mobility: two-person extensive assist, and toileting assistance required two-person maximum assist. Review of a care plan dated 12/04/21, revealed Resident #07 was at risk for falls. Interventions include bariatric bed, bed in low position, and call light or personal items in easy reach. Review of an annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed Resident #07 had moderately impaired cognition. The resident required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and hygiene. Review of a progress note dated 07/11/22 at 9:12 P.M., revealed at 4:35 P.M., State tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #300 reported Resident #07 had been lowered to the floor from the bed. Documentation revealed the resident was turned on his/her side in the bed and then started sliding out of the bed. STNA #300 then went to the other side of bed and lowered Resident #07 to the floor. Documentation revealed Resident #07 was observed lying on his/her back, on the floor. Resident #07 complained of bilateral knee pain. Resident #07 was able to move both legs and feet to best of the resident's ability. Further review of the progress note revealed the resident was assisted to bed via Hoyer lift and assistance of three staff. Documentation revealed the Nurse Practitioner was notified and new orders were received for STAT x-ray of left ankle and bilateral knees two views. The resident representative was notified and requested the resident be sent to the hospital. Review of the progress note revealed transportation was arranged for the resident to be evaluated at the hospital. Further review of the progress note revealed at 6:20 P.M., a mobile imaging company arrived at the facility to complete the x-rays. After the technician completed an x-ray of left ankle, the x-ray suggested possible left tibia fracture. The resident was sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Review of a document titled, Patient Report dated 07/11/22, revealed the x-ray results for Resident #07's right knee imaging. The findings were acute mildly displaced fracture proximal tibial metaphysis. Acute mildly displaced impact fracture of lateral femoral condyle. The patella, distal femur, and fibula are intact. There is no deep sulcus to suggest anterior cruciate ligament tear. The bony mineralization is severely decreased. There is no joint effusion. The impression: Acute mildly displaced fracture proximal tibial metaphysis, acute mildly displaced impact fracture of lateral femoral condyle, no joint effusion, and severe [CONDITION(S)]. Review of a fall investigation dated 07/12/22 revealed the facility completed an investigation of Resident #07's fall that occurred on 07/11/22. Documentation revealed the appropriate number of staff assistance and proper technique was not used. Review of the SRI date of discovery 07/13/22, revealed on 07/13/22, the facility received a call from the representative for Resident #07 verbalizing a concern/allegation with resident's care specific to weight loss and fractures. The Administrator submitted the report to the state agency and initiated an investigation. The investigation included STNA #300 being suspended, staff interview, and clinical chart review. The SRI revealed the resident is a [AGE] year-old female with mild cognitive impairment and diagnoses to include but not limited to severe [CONDITION(S)], [CONDITION(S)], major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and dysphonia. The resident required assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL), limited assistance with bed mobility as resident can participate in helping staff move side to side. Resident's weight is 208 pounds and uses a bariatric mattress. On 07/12/22, the resident required a total bed change due to incontinence. STNA #300 was providing care to resident. Per STNA #300 interview and re-enactment, resident rolled over in bed swiftly and threw her leg off the side of the bed. STNA #300 noted that resident was sliding off the bed and climbed in bed to lower resident onto the floor. The resident complained of right knee pain, x-ray obtained with family and physician notification. Resident #07 presented with fracture of right knee and ankle along with severe [CONDITION(S)]. Resident #07's weight is currently 208 pounds and upon review of clinical record, there is no significant weight loss. Upon review and completion of the investigation, it is our professional opinion that neglect and/or abuse did not occur. The SRI was unsubstantiated. Review of the personnel file for STNA #300 revealed a hire date of 11/22/21. The annual performance review dated 02/28/22, revealed STNA #300 meets expectations with satisfactory job knowledge: understands and performs most phases of job well, occasionally requires assistance or instruction. Review of a document titled, Employee Progressive Action Memorandum dated 07/18/22, revealed STNA #300 failed to review the kardex/care plan for a resident who required two-person assistance. While performing care by self, the resident rolled out of bed. The employee was terminated. There were no other progressive action memorandums in the file. Interview on 07/21/22 at 8:36 A.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #07 had a fall out of bed while the resident was being assisted with incontinence care and other resident care from one staff member (STNA #300). The DON verified Resident #07 required assistance of two staff for resident care. 2. Review of Resident #02's medical record revealed an admitted [DATE]. Diagnoses for Resident #02 included Alzheimer's disease, muscle weakness, [CONDITION(S)], metal disorder, and dementia. Review of a care plan revised 01/20/20, revealed Resident #02 had a physical function deficit related to impaired mobility. Interventions included transfer assistance dependent of two per Hoyer. Review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #02 had impaired cognition. The assessment revealed the resident had short and long-term memory problems and was unable to recall the current season, location of own room and of being in a nursing home, and staff names/faces. The resident was assessed to have severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. Continued review of the assessment revealed the resident required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on and off the unit, dressing, personal hygiene, and toilet use. Review of a progress note dated 07/02/22 at 6:09 A.M., revealed Resident #02 was being transferred to the wheelchair via Hoyer lift. Documentation revealed the Hoyer lift was tipped and the resident was lowered to the ground by an aide controlling movement onto floor. Resident was assessed and range of motion was noted to be within normal limits. Vital signs were blood pressure systolic 164 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and diastolic 63 mmHg and pulse 74 beats per minute. Review of a fall investigation dated 07/02/22 revealed the appropriate number of staff was not used during the Hoyer lift transfer for Resident #02. The investigation revealed the resident sustained no injury. The resident was sent out to the hospital for evaluation and treatment per the resident representative request. The intervention was to use two people assistance for all Hoyer transfers. Review of hospital documentation dated 07/02/22, revealed Resident #02 was sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment post fall into the bed during a Hoyer lift transfer. Documentation revealed the fall was reported to be a controlled fall onto the bed as the resident was over the bed at the time of the occurrence. Review of the documentation revealed the resident displayed no obvious injuries and was pleasantly confused upon arrival. Further review of the documentation revealed upon physician evaluation no external evidence of head trauma was noted. There was no midline cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine tenderness, no rib or chest pain upon palpation, and full range of motion was noted for arms and legs with good strength throughout. The final impression was no identified injuries at this time. Resident to be discharge back to the facility. Interview on 07/12/22 at 12:44 P.M., the DON verified the correct number of employee assistance was not used during the Hoyer lift transfer for Resident #02 which resulted in a fall on 07/02/22. The DON revealed the resident was assessed by the nurse and found to have no injury. The DON further revealed the resident representative requested Resident #02 be sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. The DON revealed the resident went out to the hospital for evaluation on 07/02/22 and returned to the facility the same day without injury. Review of a policy titled, Low Lift revised 01/20, revealed two staff members are required when using a mechanical lift. Review of the undated policy titled, Fall Prevention Program, revealed the assigned certified nurse aide on all shifts needs to hold accountable to ensure that the care plan to eliminate falls is being implemented. This deficiency substantiates Master Complaint Number OH 191, and Complaint Numbers OH 096, and OH 851.
Inspection of December 11, 2017
1 findingBased on observation, medical record review, staff, physician and podiatrist interview, pressure ulcer policy review and review of information from the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), the facility failed to ensure pressure relieving interventions were implemented for Resident #2 and #3 who were identified at risk for skin breakdown and also failed to monitor Resident #2's posterior right thigh pressure ulcer. This resulted in harm when Resident #3's pressure ulcer declined from a Stage Two to a Stage Three with an increase in drainage, the presence of a foul odor with an infection and the facility failed to notify the physician to seek alternative treatments/interventions to treat the wound appropriately. This also resulted in harm when the facility failed to implement physician ordered pressure ulcer treatments to Resident #2's coccyx wound resulting in deterioration of the Stage four pressure ulcer. Harm also occurred when the facility failed to ensure pressure ulcer preventative measures were in place resulting in the development of an avoidable Unstageable pressure ulcer to Resident #2's right heel. This affected two (#2, #3) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 105. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

Review of Podiatry note dated 11/21/17 revealed the resident had the ulcer of the great toe. Documentation revealed the physician completed sharp debridement to the ulcer present on the left great toe. Upon removal of the bandage, a thin layer of white fibrous tissue was present in the center of the wound. The ulcer measured 1.5 cm in diameter and had limited depth to the dermis. The base had an excellent granulating tissue with no signs of infection. There were also two orders noted one to use two pillows under the legs to suspend/float the feet to prevent feet from coming into contact with the bed mattress in order to prevent further tissue loss; secondly for PSO ([MEDICATION NAME] ointment) and dry dressing every other day. Further noted the resident was a high-risk due to a history of a previous ulcer, [MEDICAL CONDITION], and foot deformity. Review of the physician order [REDACTED]. There was no indication in the medical record the order for the PSO was clarified and/or implemented. Review of physician progress notes [REDACTED].#1) revealed there were no documented skin conditions noted. Review of wound observation by Registered Nurse (RN) #143 on 11/22/17 and 11/28/17 (documented on 12/07/17) revealed the wound to the left great toe was measured at 2 cm by 2 cm and 2 cm of tunneling and was now a Stage Three with no exudate (fluid seeping).

Review of nursing note and physician order [REDACTED].M. revealed an order for [REDACTED]. Review of the TAR indicated the treatment for [REDACTED].M. to 7:00 P.M. shift. Interview on 12/11/17 at 2:19 P.M. with Physician #1 stated he could not recall being notified regarding the pressure ulcer to Resident #3's left great toe. He explained due to the resident's diagnosis, when the wound went from a stage two to a Stage three with tunneling he would have ordered a wound clinic consultation. Further interview at 3:24 P.M., revealed he had no faxed communication from the facility regarding any related wound orders. Observation on 12/11/17 at 2:41 P.M. with LPN #290 revealed she explained the procedure to the resident and pulled back the blanket and sheet, and there was an odor. The bottom of Resident #3's left foot was resting directly on the pillow, her wound was covered and it was pressing on the footboard. There was blood on the dressing which had seeped and was dried on the linen on the bed. LPN #290 confirmed the resident's left foot wound was pressed on the footboard. LPN #290 cut the kerlix and removed the dressing. Pieces of the calcium alginate remained stuck on the resident's foot. There was a strong foul odor present. The nurse used three vials of normal saline to try and loosen the calcium alginate. The foot was resting on a pillow on top of the footboard. The wound was bleeding and LPN #290 was able to remove the calcium alginate. At 3:01 P.M., LPN #290 verbally described the wound as being a large open wound on the left great toe with a moderate amount of coagulated blood, granulation, slough, irregular shape and a depth which was unable to be obtained. The would measured at 1.8 cm in length and the width at 2.5 cm. Also noted during the dressing change was the left third toe which was observed to be macerated, measuring at 1.1 cm by 1.4 cm and a depth was unable to determined. LPN #290 placed the calcium alginate on the wound, covered with an abdominal pad and secured it with tape. At 3:22 P.M. after leaving the room LPN#290 confirmed the treatment administered, and confirmed there was a very strong foul odor. LPN #290 was upset and stated she had previously routinely worked with the resident and was not expecting the wound to be in that condition. Interview at 5:08 P.M. with the MDS nurse LPN #178 explained that on 12/07/17 she received notification from LPN #156 and RN #143 that Resident #3's wound had more drainage and to notify the physician they were increasing the order to twice a day. She stated she left a message and she had forgotten to document that in the medical record. She further confirmed that on 12/07/17 she realized Resident #3 did not have a care plan in place for the pressure ulcer so she initiated one with a noted problem start date of 11/14/17. Interview on 12/11/17 at 5:47 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Administrator, LPN #156 and RN #143 all confirmed they would notify the resident's physician if there was a concern or a decline in the condition of the wound. They all confirmed the resident's wound declined when it went from a Stage two to a Stage three with tunneling on 11/22/17 and remained that way. They all confirmed the physician, either the resident's or the medical director was not notified when the change of condition (Stage three and tunneling) was noted or until 12/07/17 when the wound team decided to change the dressing order due to the dressing having drainage increase from minimal to moderate. The DON confirmed Resident #3 had a foul odor coming from her wound prior to 12/06/17, however confirmed there was no indication of that in the medical record. The DON explained Resident #3 did see the podiatrist the day prior to the facility's findings of the change of the wound (11/21/17), also the Medical Director (#99)'s nurse practitioner was going to see the resident's wound but would not due to the resident having Physician #1. The DON stated they were not getting timely responses from Physician #1 which was why they involved physician #99. Interview on 12/13/17 at 12:21 P.M. with Podiatrist #999 explained he saw the resident on 11/21/17 as a routine visit and no one prearranged the visit due to the resident's pressure ulcer. He explained he had written orders for [MEDICATION NAME] ointment and dry dressing every other day after the area was debrided. He explained the wound to her left great toe was limited to the dermis, but felt the area was a gray Stage 2 on that date, and the way the resident's foot was formed, the great toe would rest directly on the mattress if not suspended. Podiatrist #999 explained he did not speak with any staff while at the facility. He explained he would have expected the staff to implement his order and/or clarify the order if they had questions or felt there was a more appropriate treatment. He confirmed he was not aware there was a decline in the wound, but confirmed that a physician should have been notified. He also stated he had not been further consulted regarding the wound. He further explained the resident would need aggressive repositioning every two hours to ensure she was positioned correctly to protect her due to being high risk for break down. He explained the order he left included the feet should be suspended and to not have contact with the bed, but also should not be resting on the pillows as that would still create pressure. He further explained the resident should not have a footboard and her feet should never be directly resting on it. 2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #2 was admitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident was most recently admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the timeline completed by the DON revealed Resident #2 initially developed an in-house pressure ulcer to the coccyx on 08/04/17. Review of readmission physician orders [REDACTED]. Apply Magic Butt Cream to intact skin around wound. Maintain area as clean as possible. Review of Wound Clinic documentation measurements dated 11/20/17 revealed pressure ulcers included Wound #1 on the coccyx, measuring at 8 cm by 5 cm by 2 cm at a Stage 4 and the right posterior thigh, Wound #8, measuring 2.3 cm by 3.6 cm by 0.1 cm at a Stage 3. Progress note from the visit included the sacrococcygeal wound was more extensive than previous. There was now palpable bone in the base causing this to be a stage IV ulceration. There was a good deal of slough material in the base also. The area was debrided to remove necrotic tissue to allow more appropriate placement of the wet-to-dry dressings. Further review of the documentation revealed to continue the Dakin's solution as a wet to dry dressing, twice a day and apply barrier cream around the other wounds. A family member was with the resident and it was noted he wanted to take an aggressive approach to the wound, and the physician felt at the time, to utilize a [DEVICE]. Review of internal facility weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had two areas one to her right buttock that measured 4 cm by 2 cm by 0.1 cm and one to the coccyx that measured 16 cm by 10 cm by 4 cm that were both a Stage Two. Review of internal facility weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] included the resident had a Stage four pressure ulcer on the coccyx that measured 7 cm by 7 cm by 4.5 cm and was a Stage Four pressure ulcer. Review of physician order [REDACTED]. Dakin's 0.25% twice daily and as needed to coccyx wound. Pack wound with gauze soaked with Dakin's secure with dressing. Review of internal facility weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] included Resident #2 had an area on her coccyx that measured 12 cm by 10 cm by 5 cm and was a Stage Four pressure ulcer. Review of Pressure Ulcer Care Plan implemented 12/07/17 with a noted problem start date of 07/27/17 revealed to float the heels with pillows to relieve pressure on the heels. Perform dressing changes as ordered and follow up with the wound physician. Conduct systemic skin inspection weekly skin checks. Review of nursing note dated 12/08/17 at 11:09 A.M. revealed during morning rounds the nurse noted a 3.0 cm by 2.5 cm pressure ulcer of the resident ' s right heel. There was a new order for skin prep twice a day and keep heels elevated at all times. There was no staging of the pressure ulcer. Observation with interview on 12/07/17 at 11:50 A.M. revealed LPN #389 and STNA #897 entered the room to complete a wound dressing change. LPN #389 removed the old treatment and confirmed it had no date and there were no initials documented on the dressing. LPN #389 removed the packing from the wound, squirted normal saline on the wound and described the wound as having a whole bunch of slough. It was beefy red with a black center and was a Stage four wound with an additional wound on her right thigh. LPN #389 packed kerlix soaked in Dakin's to the coccyx wound. She covered with an abdominal dressing. Interview and Review of December TAR on 12/07/17 at 4:30 P.M. with the DON confirmed the treatment for [REDACTED]. Also, there was no documented evidence on 12/03/17, 12/04/17, and 12/05/17 that the treatment was completed at all. Interview on 12/08/17 at 9:43 A.M. with the DON, RN #45, RN #143, LPN #156, LPN #178, and the Administrator, explained they complete wound rounds on Tuesdays and complete their internal pressure ulcer tracking and then document their findings in the resident's medical record on Thursdays. They stated there was no expectation of when they are supposed to document in the medical record. Both RN #143 and RN #156 confirmed they were unaware of any pressure ulcer to Resident #2's right thigh as described by the wound clinic or from the hospital upon readmission. When asked to all present why Resident #2 was last hospitalized all stated [MEDICAL CONDITION]. When asked if Resident #2 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] all stated they were not aware until hospital documentation which was in the resident's medical record as part of the hard chart were they aware. No one was able to explain the specifics of the site identified, but stated they would obtain more hospital information. The DON felt that the facility staff were doing their treatments and preventative measures as often as the family of Resident #3 would allow. The DON presented documented records in the nursing notes of when care was refused and by whom, but confirmed refusal was not all day every day. The DON felt the non-compliance has led to the wound's decline. RN#45 stated she felt that the facility was providing care they just don't have the documentation, and the issue was more of a documentation concern. The DON confirmed the wound had declined in the past few weeks, and was unable to explain who was responsible for communicating with the wound clinic and monitoring their measurements and findings. The facility stated at times the wound clinic does send back a summary with wound orders, however actual measurements and the physician's wound notes were obtained later when the wound clinic would fax over the information. Directly after the meeting all present with the exception of RN #45 and LPN #178 went to Resident #3's room to observed the wounds. A new area was noted to the right heel measuring at 1.9 in length by 1.5 in width described as scabbed yellow outer light brown perimeter with the surrounding skin healed (Unstageable). Additionally there was the large coccyx wound, and a wound to the back of the Resident's right thigh. LPN #156 stated she had not seen the area to the thigh previously and staff should notify her if there was a new area. After observations of the wound, the resident was repositioned with pillows under her head, right and left arm and two pillows under her legs by RN #45. Her right heel remained on the bed. At 11:42 A.M., the resident was repositioned. LPN #156 was asked to pull back the sheets and blanket. At this time, at 11:51 A.M., LPN #156 confirmed that both the residents' heels were resting directly on the bed. Interview on 12/08/17 at 11:55 A.M. with LPN #121 revealed she had already completed Resident #2's treatment for [REDACTED].#121 stated she did not use Dakin's when she completed her treatment today because it was not available in the facility. The nurse verified there was no Dakin's in the medication cart or treatment cart. The nurse verified there was no order to use normal saline in place of the Dakin's solution on Resident #2's wound. Review of physician order [REDACTED]. Interview at 5:08 P.M. with LPN (MDS) #178 confirmed that on 12/07/17 she realized Resident #2 did not have a care plan in place for the pressure ulcer. LPN #178 initiated the care plan on 12/07/17 with a problem start date of 07/27/17. Review of Skin Care Policy and Procedure dated 10/01/15 included residents with [MEDICAL CONDITION]/wounds will be monitored and documented by the charge nurse, director of nursing, or designee. Documentation of skin conditions must occur upon identification and at least once each week. Assessment must include characteristics, treatment and response to treatment, and prevention techniques. Review of Treatment and procedures policy for Dressing Change: Clean dated 02/2016 included the nurse would document any abnormal observations or changes in the wound as appropriate. Review of Preventative Skin Care Policy dated 04/16 included when a pressure area is identified an accurate assessment will be completed; a treatment program will be initiated and maintained. The physician is to be notified when a pressure sore develops. If there is no improvement noted after a reasonable amount of time (2-3 weeks) and/or upon signs of deterioration. Signs of infection include undermining and abnormal odor. Update the resident's care plan as needed. The DON/designee are to make pressure sore rounds every week and discus each resident's progress and make necessary changes. Review of information from the NPUAP revealed a Stage 3 Pressure Ulcer is full-thickness skin loss in which adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer and granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by anatomical location; areas of significant adiposity can develop deep wounds. Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage and/or bone are not exposed. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss this is an Unstageable Pressure Injury. A Stage 4 Pressure Ulcer is full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. Epibole (rolled edges), undermining and/or tunneling often occur. Depth varies by anatomical location. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss this is an Unstageable Pressure Injury. An Unstageable Pressure Ulcer is full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar. If slough or eschar is removed, a Stage 3 or Stage 4 pressure injury will be revealed. Stable eschar (i.e. dry, adherent, intact without [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] or fluctuance) on the heel or ischemic limb should not be softened or removed. The NPUAP further instructed to ensure heels are free from the bed to prevent pressure ulcer development and to consider using heel offloading devices or [MEDICATION NAME] foam dressings on individuals at high-risk for heel ulcers. The NPUAP further instructed to avoid positioning an individual on an area of [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] and avoid positioning the individual on body areas with pressure injury. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH 901.
