F309G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on record reviews, observations and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure: a) A resident's swollen and reddened (R) arm had been assessed and monitored for one (#6) of one sampled resident sent to the hospital with a worsening condition. This had caused harm to the resident. This had the potential to affect four residents with a change in condition in the past 60 days per the DON. b) A resident complaining of pain with a pain scale score of 3 - 4 with 10 being the highest, for six straight days, had been offered Tylenol 325 mg 2 tablets per G/T q 6 hours PRN for pain 5 or less for one (#6) of four sampled residents sampled for pain control. This had the potential to affect 20 residents residing in the facility on a pain management program per the DON. c) A resident was assessed and had been provided the necessary care and treatment of [REDACTED]. This had the potential to affect 77 of 77 residents residing in the facility per the DON. d) A resident was receiving the correct [DEVICE] formula as ordered by the physician for one (#2) of four sampled residents identified with a [DEVICE]. This had the potential to affect six residents with [DEVICE]s residing in the facility per the DON. e) A resident with a rash had been assessed and monitored for one (#2) of one sampled resident identified with a rash. This had the potential to affect 77 of 77 residents residing in the facility per the DON. f) A physician had been contacted for a resident's high PT/INR result, in a timely manner, for one (#10) of one sampled resident. This had the potential to affect nine residents residing in the facility on anticoagulant therapy per the DON. g) A resident identified at admission with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].#11) of two sampled residents diagnosed with [REDACTED]. This had the potential to affect 39 residents residing in the facility with psychiatric [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Findings: 1. The [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An annual admission assessment, dated 03/13/13, identified the resident had been readmitted to the facility from an acute care hospital. The resident had severly impaired cognition with short and long term memory loss, had a problem with sleeping, had been feeling tired daily and had a problem with concentration. The resident had no behaviors and was on an antidepressant medication. Extensive assistance of two + staff were required for all ADL's. A care plan dated 03/23/2011, documented the resident was at risk for pain R/T [MEDICAL CONDITION]. The goal was for the resident to not experience rated pain at a 3 or more on a scale of 1 - 10 by next review. Approaches included, "Tylenol as ordered, [MEDICATION NAME] as ordered. Evaluate location, frequency, duration and intensity of pain. Document evaluation. Report increased pain trend to physician.

On the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th the resident complained of pain as a '4' on a scale of 0-10, 10 being the worst. A 'Pain Assessment Form', dated 04/02/13, documented the resident had not experienced pain in the last 7 days. Complained of pain less than daily. Denied pain at that time. Stated pain is increased with transfers and was relieved with PRN pain medication. The PRN pain medication: [MEDICATION NAME] 50mg 1 tab per G/T q 6 hours prn for pain 6 or >; and Tylenol 325mg 2 tabs per G/T q 6 hours prn for pain 5 or < than 5. The April 2013, 'PRN Pain Medication' form, was reviewed to verify if the prn Tylenol had been administered for the resident's complaint of pain. The form documented, "Tylenol 325mg 2 tabs (to + 650mg) via [DEVICE] q 6 hours PRN Temp/pain 5 or < ...start date 2/27/13."

Non-Med interventions documented, "Heat, ice, massage, relaxation, 1:1 activities, positioning, music, medication and gentle ROM." The backside of the form was blank. On 04/08/13 at 11:35 a.m., the resident was observed lying in bed scratching his (R) arm. The arm appeared swollen and had a reddish color from the area just above the wrist to above the elbow. When the resident was asked what was wrong with his arm the resident replied it was itching. The resident was then asked if he had told the nurse. He stated, "No, it wouldn't do any good." He went on to say they wouldn't do anything for him anyway. The resident stated, "I can't even lift my arm up." He proceeded to try to lift his arm and could not do so. He was asked about his (L) arm and he said that arm itched too. At 11:40 a.m., the surveyor left the resident's room to find a nurse. RN #1 was asked to come into the resident's room to look at the resident's arm. The nurse went into the room and asked the resident what had happened to his arm. He told her he didn't know, but told her it itched. RN #1 then told the surveyor the resident had been diagnosed with [REDACTED]. At 11:45 a.m., LPN #1, who was the charge nurse, was asked if she knew about the resident's arm being red, itching and swollen. She said she did not know anything about his arm.

F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 12/12/12, an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist regarding the facility's failure to ensure residents who smoked had been supervised and monitored for safety while smoking. The facility failed to ensure effective steps were put into place to prevent repeated incidents of a resident smoking in his room. On 12/12/12 at 1:25 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) was notified and verified the immediate jeopardy situation, related to the facility's failure to supervise and monitor smoking residents for safety and to put effective steps into place to prevent residents from smoking in their rooms. On 12/12/12 at 1:35 p.m., the corporate RN, DON and the administrator were informed of the IJ situation which constituted substandard quality of care. On 12/12/12 at 5:15 p.m., the corporate RN provided the survey team with an acceptable plan of removal which documented: "1. The resident was placed on one on one, continuous, staff member to resident supervision, at 1:00 pm which will continue until a wander guard bracelet can be obtained to help alert staff to the resident existed from the facility to an area he could possibly obtain smoking paraphernalia. Resident's room checked for any smoking items and any found were removed. Personal items checked for burn holes. Care plan updated. The resident was also moved to another room so that he could be re-directed away from exiting out of hall 2 exit. Smoking alarms were purchased and installed in resident's room and bathroom. 26 Smokers will be re-assessed by midnight for the ability to be a safe smoker. Any smoker that is considered unsafe will have their smoking materials removed from their possession and their room checked for any other items. Care plans will be updated. 2. This has the potential to affect all residents and those that smoke. All residents who smoke will be informed of their updated evaluation and also informed that any resident found to be smoking in a non designated smoking area i.e. resident room will automatically become a supervised smoker with their smoking items kept at the nurse's station. A new smoker's evaluation will be done to reflect this with care plan updated. All other unsupervised smokers will be educated on not sharing any smoking materials with other residents. 3. Licensed nurse's, CMA's and CNA's will be re-educated by MIDNIGHT by the DON/Designee on the resident smoking policy including the supervision of residents, reporting and completing an occurrence report for any resident found to be smoking in a non-designated smoking area, updating the care plan and completing a new smoking evaluation. Staff in all other departments will be educated by Administrator/Designee for notifying nursing if a resident is observed in a non designated smoking area. In addition the resident's will be educated by Administrator/Social Services/DON/Designee on not sharing of smoking materials as this will result in them becoming supervised smokers. 4. The Administrator/DON/Designee will randomly audit observe residents who smoke for appropriate supervision and safety and will intervene when necessary. Effectiveness of the smoking policy, based upon the audit will be discussed through the QA process with changes made as needed. Random audits will be done weekly X4, monthly X3 and quarterly with results reported to the QA committee." On 12/13/12 at 9:30 a.m., the facility was informed the IJ was removed, effective 12/13/12 at 9:30 a.m., when the last staff member had been inserviced and the staff verbalized an understanding of the inservices. The deficiency remained at the level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm with more than a very limited number of residents affected. The facility had inserviced their staff on "Smoking Policy, Smoking Regulations, Reporting smoking on occurrence report, updating completing care plan & completing a new smoking eval, notification of a nurse if a resident is observed in a non smoking area" The facility's revised 'Smoking Regulations', put into place on 12/12/12, documented: "In the best interest of our residents, employees and the Four Seasons Rehab Center there will be no smoking in the designated non-smoking areas. The following policies have been adopted: 1. Smoking is prohibited in the building. 2. Residents will be classified as 'at risk' or 'supervision' with smoking. 3. Resident's classified as 'at risk' will have cigaretts and smoking materials held at the nurses station/designated area. Will be giving enough cigarettes for one smoking session only. Staff will assist in lighting cigarettes. Lighters/matches will not be left with resident. They will be allowed to finish their cigarette unsupervised. 4. Resident's classified as 'supervision' will require a staff person or family member to light the cigarette and remain in attendance while the cigarette is burning. Cigarettes and smoking equipment will be kept at the nurses' station/designated area. They will be considered an unsafe smoker. 5. Smokers which are determined 'supervision' will be allowed to smoke every two hours with staff supervision 7am to 7pm. A staff member will be designed to supervise smoking on two hour intervals. 6. The IDT will determined which resident's are 'at risk' or 'supervision'. 7. The following area is designated for resident's smoking area: Hall 2 patio. Any violation of the above regulations should be reported to the Administrator IMMEDIATELY! The resident will be deemed as 'supervised' smoker with their smoking items kept at the nurse's station. A new smoker's evaluation will be done to reflect this with the care plan updated." Based on observation, record review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to: a) Assess, supervise and monitor residents who smoked for safety, for one (#7) of three sampled residents who smoked. This had the potential to affect 26 residents identified by the corporate RN, as being smokers. b) Ensure effective steps were put into place to prevent recurrences when a resident repeatedly smoked in non-designated areas for one (#7) of three sampled residents who smoked. This had the potential to affect all 80 residents. Findings: The facility's policy and procedure documented" "Smoking Policy- Residents: Prior to, or upon admission, residents shall be informed about any limitations on smoking, including designated smoking areas, and the extend to which the facility can accommodate their smoking or non-smoking preferences; for example, in making room assignments. Non-smoking signs shall be prominently displayed throughout the facility when smoking is prohibited. Smoking restrictions shall be prominently displayed throughout the facility where smoking is prohibited. Smoking restrictions shall be strictly enforced in all nonsmoking areas... Any smoking-related privileges, restrictions, and concerns (for example, need for close monitoring) shall be noted on the care plan, and all personnel caring for the resident shall be altered to these issues. The facility may impose smoking restrictions on residents at any time if it is determined that the resident cannot smoke safely with the available levels of support and supervision. Any resident with restricted smoking privileges requiring monitoring shall have the direct supervision of a staff member, family member, visitor or volunteer worker at all times while smoking. The staff will review the status of a resident's smoking privileges periodically, and consult as needed with the Director of Nursing Services and the Attending Physician. Smoking articles for residents with independent smoking privileges: Residents who have independent smoking privileges shall be permitted to keep cigarettes, pipes, tobacco or smoking articles in their possession. Residents may only keep disposable safety lighters. All other forms of lighters, including matches, shall be prohibited... Residents with independent smoking privileges may not give smoking articles to other resident with restricted smoking privileges. (Note: Anyone who observes this happening shall report it to the On-Duty Charge Nurse immediately.) Smoking shall not be permitted in bed, at any time, except under direct supervision. Smoking articles for residents without independent smoking privileges: Residents without independent smoking privileges may not have or keep any types of smoking articles, including cigarettes, tobacco, etc., except when they are under direct supervision. Smoking shall not be permitted in bed without direct supervision. Anyone who provides smoking supervision to residents shall be advised of any restrictions/concerns and the plan of care related to smoking... This facility may check periodically to determine if residents have any smoking articles in violation of our smoking policies. Staff shall confiscate any such articles, and shall notify the Charge Nurse/ Unit Manager that they have done so." Resident #7 had been admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A smoking safety assessment, dated 08/29/12, documented the resident was aware of smoking safety and safe to smoke independently. An admission assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident had adequate short and long term memory, was cognitively intact, was independent with bed mobility, transfers, ambulation and required supervision with bathing. On 09/07/12 at 9:30 a.m., a nurse's note documented, "Smelled smoke in resident's room, resident admits to smoking educated on smoking policy states, 'okay', fax sent to (Name deleted physician)." On 09/07/12 at 9:30 a.m., a fax had been sent to the resident's physician and documented, "Resident has been smoking in room. Instructed him smoking is only permitted outside in smoking area." A care plan, dated 09/12/12, documented: "Problem: Resident is currently a smoker... Approach: Resident will smoke in designated area outside with staff asst.
