F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to: ~ Ensure the biohazard room, which contained chemicals and biohazard materials, on one (Rogers Hall , Memory Care Unit) of seven halls was locked to prevent residents from entering. Six ( #6, 12, 13, 14, 15 & 16) of 13 residents on the unit were identified as ambulatory. This deficient practice resulted in the determination of an immediate jeopardy situation. ~ Ensure chemical storage areas were not accessible to residents. The janitor closets and biohazard rooms on five (Autry, Guthrie, Rogers, Brooks and Murray) of seven halls had a key on a chain by the doors at a level by which residents could reach the keys to unlock the doors. The janitor closet on one (Guthrie Hall) of seven halls was observed with the key in the lock. ~Shower rooms and bathrooms were observed unlocked and unattended on six (Rogers, Brooks, Autry, Murray, Guthrie and the West skilled hall) of seven halls. The shower and bathrooms contained chemicals within reach of residents. ~ Ensure water temperatures were maintained at proper temperatures to prevent scalding or burning on five (Guthrie, Brooks, Rogers, Murray and Autry) of seven halls. ~ Ensure syringes and needles were not accessible to residents on two (Skilled Hall East and West) of seven halls. ~ Provide supervision and identify and implement interventions to aid in the prevention of falls for one (#8) of five sampled residents who required assistance with transfers and/or ambulation. This resulted in actual harm of two head injuries that required sutures for the resident. The facility identified 38 residents as being on the facility's Falling Star program. Findings: Immediate Jeopardy An Immediate Jeopardy situation related to chemical access by residents on the Memory Care Unit (Rogers Hall) was identified on 02/06/12 at 10:58 a.m. The Oklahoma State Department of Health verified the existence of the Immediate Jeopardy situation at 11:50 a.m., on 02/06/12. The facility administrator, operations manager and human resources director were notified of the immediate jeopardy situation at 2:25 p.m. on 02/06/12. Immediate Jeopardy Situation - Unsafe Chemical Storage 1. On 02/06/12 at 10:20 a.m., the biohazard room on the memory care unit (Rogers Hall) was unlocked. The biohazard room contained a five gallon container labeled Eco-Lyzer (a disinfectant). The container had a round opening on the top which was not covered. The contents appeared to be gray and white crystals. The biohazard box contained sharps containers and the box was not covered. There was a strong, foul odor in the room. An artificial Christmas tree and other decorations were stored next to the biohazard box. On 02/06/12 at 10:24 a.m., LPN #9 was asked for the names of residents on the Memory Care Unit (Rogers Hall), who ambulated independently. She identified residents #6, 12, 13, 14, 15 & 16. LPN #9 was also asked if she had ever observed the residents in the unit try to unlock the janitor and biohazard closets with the keys hanging within reach by each door. She stated she had not observed them trying to open the doors with the key, "but they do jiggle the door knobs." She further stated they don't leave anything out because the residents try to eat everything. Resident #6 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She was able to understand and was able to be understood. She was independent with ambulation on and off the unit. Resident #12 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. He was able to understand and was able to be understood. He required supervision for his ambulation on and off the unit. Resident #13 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She was able to understand and was able to be understood. She required supervision for ambulation in her room and was independent out of her room and on the unit. Resident #14 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The Summary Score of the MDS BIMS assessment, dated 12/05/11, documented the resident's cognitive status was severely impaired. He was sometimes able to understand and was sometimes able to be understood. He required supervision for ambulation on and off the unit. Resident #15 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She was usually able to understand and was able to be understood. She was independent with ambulation on and off the unit. Resident #16 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She was usually able to understand and was able to be understood. She was independent in ambulation on and off the unit. On 02/06/12 at 10:37 a.m., LPN #9 was asked to lock the door to the biohazard room. She stated, "It shouldn't be unlocked." She then locked the door. On 02/06/12, at 10:50 a.m., a surveyor found the door to the biohazard room unlocked. On 02/06/12, from 10:15 a.m. until 2:45 p.m., janitor and biohazard closets on five (Autry, Brooks, Guthrie, Rogers, and Murray halls) of seven halls were observed to have a key on a chain by each door within the residents' reach. On 02/06/12 at 10:40 a.m., the following was observed on the west hall of the skilled nursing unit: An unlocked wall cabinet in the shower room contained two quart size bottles of 'Cen Kleen IV', a one step disinfectant/viracide cleanser. The container label stated 'causes eye irritation' and 'keep out of reach of children'. On 02/06/12 at 10:45 a.m., a janitor closet was observed with a key in the lock of the door. Inside the room the surveyor observed an open one-gallon bottle of 'Eco-Lyzer' disinfectant solution and two, five-gallon containers of 'Eco-Lyzer'. One of the five-gallon containers was open and contained approximately three cups of solution. The second five-gallon container was attached to a hose. The hose could easily be pulled from the container. NABC (non-acid disinfectant bathroom cleaner), one-half gallon of concentrated surface and glass cleaner, one liter of deodorizer and a three liter bottle of glass cleaner were observed on a shelf approximately 4 1/2 feet from the floor. A one liter bottle of carpet cleaner and a liter bottle of NABC were observed on top of a five-gallon bucket of 'Eco-Lyzer' in a cabinet. At 11:30 a.m., the shower room was observed with an open pack of five razors. There was also a full spray bottle of non-acid bathroom cleaner observed on the shelf with the razors. On 02/07/12 at 9:55 a.m., the surveyor observed the unlocked wall cabinet in the unlocked shower room on the west hall of the skilled nursing unit. The chemicals observed on 02/06/12 were still in the cabinet. The surveyor asked LPN #10 how the facility ensured safety of the residents regarding various chemicals used by staff. She stated all chemicals and biohazard materials were to be kept in a locked area inaccessible to residents. The surveyor showed the LPN the containers of 'Cen Kleen IV' in the unlocked wall cabinet. She stated the wall cabinet should have been locked. Plan of removal for Immediate Jeopardy A plan of removal, written by the administrator, for the immediate jeopardy was received and approved at 3:45 p.m. on 02/06/12. The plan of removal stated: "All rooms in question have been checked for chemicals and have been removed from the rooms in questions. All Keys have been taken down and doors locked until the locks can be replaced. A sign has been placed that the key is with the CMA (certified medication aide) and housekeeper on each home. Maintenance staff is in route to Lowe's to purchase new locks for all doors; notes will remain permanently on doors. On the attached sheets you will see our plan to contact all CNA's (certified nurse aides), CMA's and nurses (in pink) will be notified before 6:00 am February 7, 2012. All those in orange will be notified by phone this evening. Housekeepers have all been notified by their supervisor as of February 6, 2012 3:30 PM. And a signed in-service sheet will be attached as soon as everyone has been notified." At 3:02 p.m., on 02/07/12, an addendum was added to the plan of removal by the human resources director, due to the inability to make contact with four staff members. The addendum stated: "Information on "locked doors in facility" (i.e.) chemicals are kept, bio Hazard & etc. The following employees/shifts on 6/2 - 2/10 & 10/6 will not work their assigned duties until they have had an orientation dealing with the above policy." Immediate Jeopardy Removed The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 02/07/12, at 4:00 p.m. based on the installation of new door handles and locks on all chemical and biohazard rooms. New procedures were implemented regarding access to the keys and staff were trained on the new procedures. Staff were interviewed after their training was conducted and were able to report the new procedures. All doors to chemical storage areas remained locked except when in use as observed from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on 02/07/12. Signs were posted on all doors regarding procedures to obtain keys to unlock the doors. A facsimile was received on 02/08/12, from the facility verifying the completion of the training for the four staff members who were unable to receive training while the survey team was on site. The deficient practice remained at a pattern level of potential for more than minimal harm. Unsecured Syringes and Needles The facility also failed to store needles and syringes securely on the skilled nursing unit. 2. On 02/06/12 at 11:30 a.m., the following was observed on the emergency cart on the west hall of the skilled unit. There were 10 loose needles, and 12 needles with syringes attached. In the emergency cart in the skilled unit dining/activity room (near the East Hall) there were nine loose needles and 10 syringes with needles. On 02/07/12 at 3:30 p.m., the surveyor asked LPN #10 how the facility ensured safety of the residents regarding items in the emergency carts. She stated the carts should be locked at all times when not in use. Hot Water Temperatures 3.

On 02/07/12 at 11:35 a.m., the DON was asked if the resident had experienced multiple falls. He reviewed the medical record and stated, "I'd say yes." The DON was asked what new interventions had been identified and implemented after each fall to aid in prevention of future falls. The DON reviewed the resident's care plan and stated the resident had been placed on a low bed and mat following her falls in April, 2011. The DON was shown the documentation that showed the low bed and mat were not implemented until 05/7/11. He stated he did not know why the low bed and mat were not implemented immediately or why the care plan did not address any new interventions. The DON was asked how the facility's falling star program worked. He stated when a resident fell , an incident report was generated and the fall was documented on the fall log. He stated if the resident fell within 2 weeks of admission or re-admission or had 2 or more falls, the resident would be placed on the falling star program. The DON stated the falling star committee; which consisted of a group of nurses, a restorative aide, and physical therapy, would then develop a goal and approaches designed to help prevent falls, and that information was shared with the nurse and MDS Coordinator. He stated the information was then incorporated into the resident's care plan. The DON was asked why the resident was not placed on the facility's falling star program until 05/16/11 since she had experienced multiple falls, some with injuries before that date. He stated the resident should have been placed on the program before then. The DON was asked why the facility had not identified or implemented any new interventions to aid in the prevention of falls when the resident attempted to transfer herself from her wheelchair. He stated he did not know. The DON was asked whose responsibility it was to identify and implement interventions to aid in the prevention of falls. He stated, "Everyone." On 02/07/12 at 10:10 a.m., the director of nursing was asked if falls were monitored and interventions to prevent further falls were initiated. He stated every week the physical therapist and the restorative aide met and discussed all the falls that occurred during the past week. At 1:30 p.m., the physical therapist was asked if he was notified of residents who had fallen. He stated he met every Thursday with the restorative aide, who had a copy of each of the incident reports for each resident that had fallen in the past week. He stated he reviewed the information and initiated a falling leaves care plan with recommendations for prevention o

3 findings
F309H · Actual harm, pattern

Based on observation, review of clinical records, review of policies and procedures, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined the facility failed to assess, monitor and intervene: a. when a resident with complaints of pain failed to receive pain medication for one (#3) of 15 sampled residents who received pain medication. This had the potential to affect 51 residents identified by the facility who had pain; b. to ensure a resident with constipation did not develop a fecal impaction for one (#2) of one sampled resident with a fecal impaction. This had the potential to affect 18 residents identified by the facility who were being treated for [REDACTED]. c. when a resident with behaviors failed to receive behavior medications for one (#10) of eight sampled residents with behaviors. This had the potential to affect 31 residents identified by the facility as having behaviors; d. to ensure residents with pain received appropriate pain management for two (#10 and #18) of 15 sampled residents who received pain medication. This had the potential to affect 51 residents identified by the facility who had pain; e. to ensure weekly weights were performed for one (#11) of five sampled residents with orders for weekly weights. This had the potential to affect 53 residents identified by the facility as requiring weekly weights; f. to ensure Peg Tube placement was checked before medications were given for one (#14) of two sampled residents with Peg Tubes. This had the potential to affect two residents identified by the facility has having Peg Tubes; g. to ensure pain assessments were conducted for one ( #7) of seventeen sampled residents who were required to have pain assessments completed. This had the potential to affect all the residents who required that pain assessments be conducted; and h. to ensure a DNR status was clarified for one (#2) of one sampled resident with an unknown code status. This had the potential to affect 48 residents identified by the facility as having a DNR order. Findings: A policy and procedure titled, Pain Management Program Overview and Principles, documented, "Each resident will have a comprehensive & interdisciplinary pain assessment upon admission to the facility. A pain management care plan will be developed and followed for appropriate residents based on the assessment process... Complaints, signs or symptoms of new or increased pain or discomfort will be assessed in a timely manner by the interdisciplinary team. Whenever possible the resident will have an active role in determining the pain management program and evaluation its effectiveness... Quarterly and annual reviews will be performed based on the resident's needs and length of stay. Optimum and effective pain management is only successful through a systematic and total team effort. Continual monitoring, assessment and evaluation, resident education and utilization of scheduled medications and other modalities is crucial to the success of each resident's pain management plan. Pain Management Principles Pain is whatever the resident says it is. All pain is real regardless of its cause and must be treated even when the cause remains unknown. Pain is a subjective and complex experience. 1. Ask the resident about pain regularly. 2. Assess pain systematically. 3. Believe the resident and family in their reports of pain and what relieves it. 4. Choose appropriate pain control options for the resident, family and setting. 5. Deliver interventions in a timely, logical and coordinated fashion. 6. Empower the resident and their families. 7. Enable residents to control the course of treatment to the greatest extent possible." A policy titled, General Reminders for Gastrostomy Feeding, documented, "...2. Check tube placement before each feeding or at least once daily. (Listen with stethoscope over left upper quadrant while injecting 20 ml air into tube, or aspirate back [MEDICAL CONDITION] contents.)..." 1. Resident #3 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. admission orders Tylenol Extra Strength 1000 mg po bid for pain..." An initial resident assessment, dated [DATE], documented the resident was severely impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision making, was totally dependent for transfers, did not ambulate and was always incontinent of bowels and bladder. The assessment documented the resident had not had pain in the last five days. A care plan, dated [DATE], was reviewed. There was no care plan which addressed pain or pain management. The [DATE] MAR from Rogers Home, did not have the order for routine Tylenol transferred onto it from the admission orders [REDACTED]. The MAR documented, "...Tylenol 500 mg 2 tabs oral bid/prn pain/fever NTE (not to exceed) 4 gms in 24 hrs from all sources..." No routine or prn Tylenol was documented as being given since the resident's transfer to Rogers Home on [DATE]. A physician's progress note, dated [DATE], documented, "...S: (Resident) is kind of hurting all over still, but that has been her main complaint...A: 6) Chronic pain is mostly [MEDICAL CONDITION] and partially dementia, will hold the course with that..." A pain assessment, dated [DATE], documented, "...Pain Location: Everywhere Date of onset: Unable to state Cause of pain: Does not know... Non-verbal Indicators: Grimacing... readmitted from SNF. Asked how she is doing and she said, 'Not very good.' She has no idea what caused the pain, what makes it worse etc. Tried to get a level of pain et she said it was 'bad.'" On [DATE] at 4:45 p.m. the resident was observed as she sat in her wheelchair in her room. She was asked by the surveyor how she was feeling. She stated, "Hurts all over." The resident was noted to have a grimace on her face. LPN #2 was outside the resident's room. She was told the resident had complained that she hurt all over. LPN #2 stated, "Oh, she says that every five minutes." She went on to state the resident was probably having some pain as she had [MEDICAL CONDITION]. The LPN did not provide medication for the resident or assess the resident for pain. At 4:50 p.m., the resident received incontinent care as she stood with the sit to stand lift. The resident screamed repeatedly, "I can't do it." The surveyor asked during the procedure if she was in pain. The resident stated, "Yes. I can't stand it." When the incontinent care was completed, CNA #1 asked the resident, "Was that too bad?" The resident stated, "Yes." At 5:00 p.m., LPN #2 was asked if the resident could receive something for pain. She stated the resident had routine pain medication. The LPN was asked if the resident had prn pain medication. She stated she thought the resident had Tylenol ordered prn. She stated she knew when the resident was in pain, as the resident would scream, hit, throw things and swear. She was informed the resident had been screaming during incontinent care. No comment was made. The LPN was asked if she believed the resident when she said she was in pain. Again, no comment was made. At that time the LPN checked the resident's MAR. She stated the resident should be on routine Tylenol bid, but it was not documented on the MAR as one of the resident's medications. The resident had not received her routine Tylenol for two days. The LPN was asked if the resident could receive her prn Tylenol. She stated, "Yes, we will give her some." At 5:15 p.m., the DON was informed the LPN had been told of the resident's complaint of pain at 4:50 p.m., and that the resident had not been assessed for pain or medicated at that time. The DON stated, "She should have given her medication and assessed her." On [DATE] at 2:10 p.m., CNA #1 was asked if the resident was in pain during incontinent care the day before. She stated she might have been in a little bit of pain as she yells when she was in pain. The CNA acknowledged the resident had been yelling. 2. Resident #14 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A quarterly assessment, dated [DATE], documented the resident was severely impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision making, was totally dependent for all ADLs and had a Peg Tube for nutrition. On [DATE] at 9:30 a.m., during the medication pass, LPN #1 was observed as she prepared the resident's medication to be given via Peg Tube (PT). The LPN disconnected the continuous PT feeding from the pump and inserted a syringe into the tubing leading into the resident's abdomen. She attempted to pull back on the syringe and obtained no residual. She removed the syringe from the tubing and proceeded to administer the resident's medication. The LPN did not check the PT for placement by inserting air into the tubing and listening to the resident's abdomen. At 4:15 p.m. the DON was asked what was the protocol of the nursing home for checking PT placement. He stated the nurse should have checked for placement of the Peg Tube by using her stethoscope and listening for air movement in her abdomen. The care plan, dated [DATE], documented, "Problem: Resident is at risk for aspiration/fluid overload/social isolation due to Peg Tube feedings. Goals: (Resident) will receive Peg Tube feedings to meet her/her nutrition/caloric/fluid needs with aspiration, fluid overload, skin breakdown, weight loss, or social isolation daily 90 days. Approach: ...(2) Check tube placement q 8 hrs if resident is receiving continuous tube feeding..." 3. Resident #7 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Upon review of the resident's clinical record, the resident's admission pain assessment was located. It was completely blank. On [DATE] at 9:00 a.m., RN #2 was asked why the resident's admission pain assessment was not completed. She stated LPNs did not do pain assessments and an LPN had admitted the resident. She stated either herself or the DON should have done the assessment. She stated, "It's not done." 4. Resident #18 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A nurse's note, dated [DATE] at 1:30 p.m., documented, "Staff reports R hip swollen. Upon assessment, R hip is swollen, non tender et firm upon palpation. (No) s/s bruising, pain or tenderness noted.

Based on observation, review of clinical record, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were not left standing on the sit to stand lift while incontinence care was provided for one (#3) of three sampled residents who used the sit to stand lift for transfers. This had the potential to affect 19 residents identified by the facility who used the sit to stand lift for transfers. Findings: Resident #3 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An initial resident assessment, dated 02/16/11, documented the resident was severely impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision making, was totally dependent for transfers, did not ambulate and was always incontinent of bowels and bladder.

The resident was noted to have a grimace on her face. LPN #2 was outside the resident's room. She was told the resident had complained that she hurt all over. LPN #2 stated, "Oh, she says that every five minutes." She went on to state the resident was probably having some pain as she had [MEDICAL CONDITION]. The LPN did not provide medication for the resident or assess the resident for pain. At 4:50 p.m., CNA #1 and CNA #2 were observed as they provided incontinent care for the resident. They entered the room with the sit to stand lift and placed the lift in position in front of the resident. After securing the lift straps around the resident's back and under her arms, the resident was lifted to a standing position. During this procedure the resident screamed, "Ouch" and "I can't do it." The resident was left in the sit to stand lift while the two CNAs proceeded to provide incontinent care for both bowels and bladder. The incontinent care took approximately ten minutes to perform. The resident was left in the sit to stand lift the entire time. Throughout the procedure the resident repeatedly screamed, "I can't do it." The surveyor asked the resident if she was in pain. The resident stated, "Yes. I can't stand it." The resident attempted to lower herself down onto her wheelchair, but was unable to due to the lift. When the resident's incontinent care was completed, CNA #1 asked the resident, "Was that too bad?" The resident stated, "Yes." At 5:15 p.m., the DON was informed of the observation. He stated, "My thought is the lift should be used for transfers only." He stated the facility had just recently had an inservice on lifts. He stated the CNAs should not have done pericare while the resident was on the lift and it should have been done in bed. On 03/23/11 at 2:10 p.m., CNA #1 was asked if the resident was in pain during the incontinent care. She stated the resident might have been in a little bit of pain as she yelled when she was in pain. She was asked if providing incontinent care in the lift was appropriate. She stated, "We probably should have put her in bed." She was asked if she provided other residents with incontinent care while in the sit to stand lift. She stated it was routine to change some residents in the lift as it was the easiest way to do it if they were just wet. She was asked if she had been inserviced on how to use the lift. She stated she learned while she was working on the floor and had received no formal training. CNA #1's and CNA #2's personnel files were reviewed. There were no skills check list located in the files which would show the CNAs were familiar and trained on the sit to stand lift. Inservice records were reviewed. An inservice on lifts was conducted on 08/05/10. CNA #2 had attended the inservice. CNA #1's name was not on the sign in sheets.
