F684K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 01/31/19, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist related to the facility's failure to perform accurate and thorough skin assessments; consistently provide incontinent care for dependent residents; identify a change in condition; and notify the physicain of changes in condition. Resident #9 was sent to the hospital at the family members insistence and was found to have open draining wounds on his buttocks and back. The resident was found to be septic with altered mental status and was admitted to ICU. The resident required surgery for [REDACTED]. At 3:47 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health verified the existence of the IJ situation. At 4:02 p.m., the administrator and the DON were notified of the IJ situation related to the facility's failures in caring for residents who were at risk for altered skin integrity. At 6:40 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided. The plan of removal documented, The facility will ensure that a resident receives care to prevent skin breakdown and/or pressure ulcers and does not develop skin breakdown and/or pressure ulcers unless the clinical condition demonstrates that they were unavoidable; and a resident with skin breakdown and/or pressure ulcers receives necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new skin breakdown and/or pressure ulcers from developing. 1) All residents will be assessed for any areas of skin breakdown, skin issues, and/or pressure ulcers by midnight on 01-31-19. The physicians' will be notified and appropriate treatment orders will be obtained for any new skin issues identified during the skin assessments. 2) If a resident refuses skin assessment, that resident's physician will be notified for further orders. 3) Facility wound care nurse will immediately be in-serviced by an RN on the skin and wound care guidelines. 4) All nursing staff will be in-serviced on the skin and wound care guidelines and instructed to report any skin issues to the charge nurse by midnight on 01-31-19. Any nursing staff not currently in the facility will be in-serviced before returning to work. 5) All licensed nursing staff will be in-serviced by midnight on 01-31-19 on the skin and wound care guidelines, instructed to re-attempt or have a different staff member attempt to assess, and if still unsuccessful to notify resident's physician if residents refuse assessments. Any licensed nursing staff not currently in the facility will be inserviced before returning to work. 6) New nursing staff members will be in-serviced prior to beginning their work on the floor. 7) The facility will ensure that incontinent residents are checked every 2 hours and provided incontinent care as needed. 8) All nursing staff will be in-serviced by midnight on the incontinent care guidelines and instructed to report any incontinent care refusals to the charge nurse. Any nursing staff not currently in the facility will be in-serviced before returning to work. 9) All licensed nursing staff will be inservices (sic) by midnight on the incontinent care guidelines and instructed to re-attempt or have a different staff member attempt to provide incontinent care upon incontinent care refusals, and if still unsuccessful to notify the physician. The immediate jeopardy was removed on 02/01/19 at 7:00 a.m., when all components of the plan of removal were carried out. The deficient practice remained at a pattern of actual harm. Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to: ~ perform initial and ongoing thorough skin assessments; ~ provide consistent incontinent care for a dependent resident; ~ identify a change in condition; and ~ notify the physician when a resident exhibited a change in condition and when transferred to the hospital for one (#9) of three sampled residents who were reviewed for the care of dependent residents with a skin condition. Resident #9 was sent to the hospital at the family members insistence and was found to have open draining wounds on his buttocks and back. The resident was found to be septic with altered mental status and was admitted to ICU. The resident required surgery for [REDACTED].

At 2:05 p.m., the surveyor asked CNA #2 if she had assisted the resident back into bed after finding her on the floor on 03/28/14, and why she had not reported the incident. CNA#2 stated "The administrator did come to me today and ask me if I had any knowledge of how she (resident #1) fell or injured that right hip. That is when I told her, no-one had asked me about the right hip. (LPN #2) was told I found her on the floor and she helped me put her back into bed. The other aide was not on the unit at that time. I thought she reported it." At 2:10 p.m., the surveyor asked CMA #1 if she had witnessed the resident with bruising to her right hip or reported a fall. She stated, "The Monday she went out we went to stand her up and she grabbed the right hip, so we went and told LPN #3. We didn't let her stand, we eased her back down into the wheelchair." At 3:02 p.m., LPN #2 was asked if she had transcribed the physician's discharge order for full weight bearing status with posterior hip precautions to the admit orders or if she had clarified the order with the physician. She stated, "No I didn't see it so I didn't carry it over or clarify it with the physician." At 5:10 p.m., the surveyor asked CNA #5 if she had witnessed the resident with bruising to her right hip or reported a fall. She stated, "(Resident #1) was confused at times. She was in a lot of pain and would grab that right hip. I reported to both the LPN's on the 3-11 shift (LPN #2 and LPN #3). I am sure it was the right hip. If I lifted her leg two inches above the mattress, she would grab her right hip. I got adamant about it on Sunday and refused to get her out of bed." At 5:20 p.m., the surveyor asked LPN #3 if she had witnessed the resident with bruising to the right hip or reported a fall. She stated, "She had bruising to the right hip right before she left to go to the hospital, it was a faint yellow area bigger than your thumb. She had pain when she was moved. She moaned and cried." On 04/10/14 at 10:00 a.m., the administrator presented the surveyor with a typed form titled 'Hip Precautions' and stated they were in-servicing staff with the following documentation: "No crossing legs or ankles Do not bend too far forward or pull legs up past waist Avoid hip flexion greater than 90 degrees Feet 6 inches apart do not bring all the way together Hips should be higher than knees when sitting When lying in bed place pillows between knees No internal rotation of the foot Use log roll during bed mobility with pillow between legs Charge Nurses to ask Dr if you have any questions Nurse aides to ask charge nurse if you have any questions."

I had a CNA put a face mask on her and got her into the 90's. I usually put all my charting on the back of a report sheet. I left the mask on. We were in and out all night she was steady, no difficulty at all. I don't usually chart on the nurse's notes." At 8:55 a.m., LPN #3 was asked if she phoned the physician with the decreased O2 sats. She stated, "No, I just had the aide put the mask on because she's a mouth breather." The facility was unable to locate any documentation related to the decreased O2 sats or any interventions implemented. On 03/04/14 at 9:50 a.m., LPN #2 was asked at what time did he start the antibiotic ordered on [DATE]. He stated around 9:00 p.m. on the eighteenth. He was then asked what he received in report related to the resident experiencing decreased oxygenation saturation during the night. He stated, "I don't remember anything about low sats." LPN #2 was asked what the resident's condition was when he assumed care. He stated, "I had not seen her. Just got report she was down in bed and resting.

F311G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on record review, observation and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure services were provided to maintain a resident's ability to ambulate for one (#10) of 19 sampled residents whose clinical records were reviewed for maintenance of their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). The deficient practice resulted in harm to the resident when the facility did not intervene as she declined from being independent with ambulation to becoming non-ambulatory. The Resident Census and Conditions of Residents documented six residents were independently ambulatory and 25 residents ambulated with assistance or an assistive device. Findings: A facility policy titled 'Restorative Nursing Phase 1' documented, "...Policy: It is the policy of Grace Living Center to provide restorative nursing services to promote the resident's ability to adapt and adjust to living as independently and safely as is possible. This concept actively focuses on maintaining optimal physical, mental and psychosocial functioning. Skill practice in such activities as walking and mobility, dressing and grooming, eating and swallowing, transferring, amputation care, and communication can maintain function in physical abilities and ADLs and prevent further impairment..."
