F226L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

On 11/04/10 at 1:35 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist regarding the facility's failure to implement their abuse policy and procedure to protect residents, by re-hiring a former employee who was alleged and verified by the facility to have physically and verbally abused 1 of 1 (#1) sampled residents. The Oklahoma State Department of health was notified. The IJ was verified. At 1:40 p.m., the administrator, director of nurses, corporate nurse, facility owner and general manager were notified of the IJ situation, which constituted substandard quality of care. At 3:55 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was presented to the survey team. The plan of removal documented the following: "1. Immediate termination of (licensed practical nurse #1). 2. Immediate documentation in the data base of the facility employee program, that (licensed practical nurse #1) is no longer eligible for re-hire in this facility. 3. The owner, corporate nurse, general manager, administrator, and director of nursing will sign an acknowledgement/in-service covering never re-hiring past employees that an abuse investigation was completed and the finding were substantiated. 4. Effective 11/04/2010 an "Employee substantiated past abuse history roster" has been implemented to keep a running log of past employees who are not eligible for re-hire due to substantiated abuse investigations. This will be kept in the administration office and updated as needed. 5. The following policy: If an employee's, in the opinion of Haskell Care Center, investigation of abuse or neglect is substantiated, then that employee is no longer eligible for re-hire and the information is then added to the data base of the facility employee program and the employee substantiated abuse roster for future reference. 6. A policy and practice is implemented on 11/04/2010 concerning the re-hiring and hiring of employees. Rehires: Any prospective re-hire employee is to complete the Oklahoma State Department of Health's uniform employment application for nurses aide staff (Haskell Care Center uses the above listed application for all hires) prior to consideration of rehiring, there is no timeline for exceptions of this application completion. All new prospective new hires, will complete an application (as listed above). In both considerations of re-hire and new hire particular attention will be paid on the application to the page 3 of 5 section 8 background information letter C and evidence will be shown on the application in the form of initials of the administrative staff that reviews the application prior to consideration of hiring. If the above listed section is marked with a yes or any information given pertaining to pending or substantiated abuse/neglect, no consideration will be given to hiring the applicant." On 11/04/10 at 4:05 p.m., the IJ was removed when all components of the plan of removal had been completed and the facility administration staff had all been in-serviced and had knowledge of the plan of removal for the immediate jeopardy situation. The deficiency remained at a pattern level of actual harm, until the facility could demonstrate a system was in place to prevent the deficient practice from reoccurring. Based on observation, record review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to follow their abuse policy and procedure to screen employees for prior allegations of abuse prior to hiring them and failed to protect 1 of 1 (#1) sampled residents from the likelihood of verbal and physical abuse from a facility employee. This had the potential to affect all 31 residents residing in the facility. The facility's policy for "Abuse" documented, "It is the policy of this facility for each resident to have the right to be free from abuse, mistreatment, neglect and misappropriation of property.... Screening: This facility has procedures to screen potential employees for a history of abuse, neglect or mistreating residents. The screening will include attempting to obtain information from previous employers and or current employers and checking with the appropriate licensing boards and registries.... Protection: Protect residents from harm during an investigation.... Analyze the occurrences to determine what changes are needed, if any to policies and procedures to prevent further occurrences. Findings: Resident #1 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Monthly physician's orders [REDACTED]. A quarterly assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident had short-term memory problems, no behavior problems, was independent with transfers and ambulation and required little assistance with activity of daily living needs except with bathing. A statement written by a certification medication aide (CMA), dated 9/24/10, documented, "Friday 24th of Sept. I done my noon med (medication) pass at that time and gave (resident #1) a pain pill at 12 noon. At about 12:38 (p.m.) or 12:45 (p.m.). I had to leave for a short time, when I returned about 3 p.m.(3:00 p.m.), I started getting ready for med pass at 4 p.m. (4:00 p.m.). I saw where the nurse had gave another pain pill at 1400 time (2:00 p.m.). I then asked her why she had gave her another pill so early. Because I had told her before I left I had gave her a pain pill at 12 noon (12:00 p.m.). She said I don't know, she asked for one. Then when I went in to give the resident (#1) her meds she told me that the licensed practical nurse (LPN #1) had came in and jumped all over her about pain pill. She told me she tried to tell (LPN #1), she couldn't remember she had one at 12 noon. She told me (LPN #1) was talking very hateful to her. I told her I was going to call someone and tell them, and she said no I want to take care of this myself. And I told her okay but I was going to talk to the (administrator) Monday about. Because she can't talk to you like that and she said okay." Review of the resident's 09/24/10, "Individual Patients Narcotic Record" documented the resident received (1) [MEDICATION NAME] 10/325 milligrams (mg) from the CMA at 12:00 noon. The record indicated the resident received another [MEDICATION NAME] 10/325 mg on 09/24/10 at 2:00 p.m., 2 hours later, by LPN #1. A nurse's note dated 9/25/10 at 3:45 p.m., "Resident came to this nurse and told that yesterday evening 9/24/10, before offices closed, that she had walked to front desk to ask for pain pill. Charge nurse (LPN #1) was there and said she would ask (CMA #1) if it was time for her to have one (pain pill), per (resident #1). Resident said she went back to her room and shortly after nurse (LPN #1) had came in her room and in loud firm tone and stated, "You got me in trouble." Resident (#1) said she told nurse that she had not done nothing to get her in trouble. Resident said she then had raised up out of chair and nurse had touched shoulder, and pushed her back down in chair and kept her from going up front to tell someone. She also said nurse (LPN #1) was saying that (resident #1) was over medicated and staggering when she walked and that she had already been up to med cart 20 - 30 min (minutes) before and got pain medication. Corporate management notified on call for administrator and DON (director of nursing) notified. Resident's family present when statement made. Assessed resident, no injury noted. Skin color good. Dr. (resident #1's doctor) notified by faxing office." On 9/25/10, an "Alleged Abuse Procedure Investigation Tool" documented an investigation was started by the administrator. On 9/26/10, an "Investigation Tool form #6" documented a complaint made by the resident's daughter. The complaint stated, "My mother told me that she went up to the desk for pain medication. The LPN (#1) gave her something. Later the LPN (#1) came into mom's room and stated loudly mother had got her in trouble - she kept on verbally scolding and going on at her. Mom started to get out of her chair and (LPN #1) pushed her back into the chair and told her she was over medicated telling her she couldn't walk down the hall straight. This person should not (be) working with the public if she can't control herself. This is what mom told me." The complaint was signed by the daughter of (resident #1). On 9/27/10, an "Investigation Tool form #1" documented the administrator interviewed the resident. The resident stated, "She came to desk and asked for a pain pill. LPN (#1) was at desk and she got up to give her one. Resident states that she didn't look in book to see when she had one last. Resident returned to her room. She states that Ms. (LPN #1) entered her room later and angrily stated "you got me in trouble." Resident #1 asked what she was talking about. LPN #1 stated that the CMA had given her a pain pill 2 hours earlier. Resident stated that she would go talk to someone and LPN (#1) pushed her back in her chair when she tried to get up. She grabbed her (resident #1) arm and pushed her into chair. Resident #1 states that when LPN (#1) left she was not angry and she had had no problems with her in the past. Resident #1 states that she has always liked LPN #1 but doesn't want her to treat her that way." An interview conducted with the resident by the facility owner on 9/28/10 at 6:30 p.m., documented the resident stated, "Friday late LPN (#1) came saying you got me in trouble very sarcastic. I was sitting in my recliner watching TV on the 24th. What did I do (LPN #1)? What happened? I will go find out and began to rise from recliner, pushed me back down." On 9/30/10 (no documented time), a resignation was accepted by the facility from LPN #1. The facility excepted the resignation after substantiating an abuse allegation made by resident #1. On 10/01/10, the facility reported the abuse allegation to the State Department of Health. The facility documented, "Due to the repeated history of both losing her temper and the nursing skills it was determined that she could no longer be an employee of Haskell Care Center. Prior to notification to (LPN #1), she brought a resignation letter to the administrator effective immediately. In the opinion of Haskell Care Center the allegations of physical abuse are verified due to a past history of losing her temper and admitted and written proof of medication error. The nursing board will be notified of this investigation as well as the APS (adult Protective Services), DHS (Department of Human Services), attn (attention): (name withheld) investigator." Review of the staff schedule documented LPN #1 worked the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift on 10/31/10. The schedule documented she was scheduled to work on the weekends of 11/6/10 and 11/7/10, 11/13/10 and 11/14/10, and 11/20/10 and 11/21/10. On 11/4/10 at 11:25 a.m., an interview was conducted with resident #1 regarding the incident with LPN #1. The surveyor asked the resident to tell her what happened with LPN #1. She stated she went to the desk and asked for pain medication. She stated the nurse who gave her the pain medication was LPN #1, not the medication aide. She stated the nurse jumped up and got the medication for her, then later burst into her room and yelled, "You got me in trouble." The resident stated when she went to get up the nurse pushed her back down. On 11/4/10 at 12:45 p.m., an interview was conducted with the facility's owner, general manager, corporate nurse, administrator and DON regarding the rehiring of LPN #1, after she had resigned due to allegations of abuse. The surveyor asked if someone could tell her about the incident with LPN #1 and resident #1. The general manager stated they had a complaint from the resident and her daughter regarding LPN coming into the resident's room and speaking in a loud voice telling the resident she got her (LPN #1) in trouble over the medication. The general manager stated resident (#1) told her LPN #1 pushed her back down into her chair when she tried to get up and find out what was going on at the nurses' desk. The surveyor asked if the LPN was terminated. The general manager stated the LPN was put on suspension while the investigation was ongoing, but turned in a letter of resignation on 9/30/10. The general manager stated the facility did not have to terminate the LPN because of this. She stated, "This started with the survey you guys did when she had the incident with the peg tube. Her attitude started changing. She was overheard cursing in front of the residents at that time. Then this happened." The surveyor asked when the LPN was re-hired. The general manager stated, "Last weekend. We were desperate. We probably should not have re-hired her, but we are desperate for help here. We cannot get help. This is a rural area. We did hire 2 new LPNs last week and LPN #1 is not here permanently, just until we can train these two new LPNs." The DON stated she had been working her 40 hours every week plus 36 additional hours to cover the shifts. She stated, "All my employees are getting the burn-out including me. The owner stated this is probably my fault. When they called me telling me they were burned out, I suggested they call LPN #1." The surveyor asked why they re-hired LPN #1 back after the investigation of abuse was filed with the state and with the state board of nursing. The owner, general manager and administrator stated they were just desperate. They stated they were afraid of loosing the help they had because of over working them and LPN #1 was all they had to pull from. The owner stated the resident had been persistent with her story from the beginning. She stated the resident hadn't changed her story with anyone. The surveyor asked the owner if she doubted the resident's story in any way. The owner stated, "No, I do not doubt the resident."
