Resident #1 was admitted to the hospital for management of her acute left hip fracture. The facility implemented corrective actions which were completed prior to the State Agency's investigation, thus it was determined to be a Past Noncompliance citation. Findings: Review of the current Hoyer Lift - Proper Use Policy and Procedure revealed, in part: Policy: 1. Residents who are unable to transfer themselves independently or with minimum assistance shall be transferred safely with the Hoyer lift. Review of the medical record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of the resident's diagnoses revealed, in part: hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left nondominant side, end stage renal disease, cardiomegaly, dementia with behavioral disturbance, osteoarthritis, edema, hypertension, anemia, diabetes, and neurogenic bladder. Review of Resident #1's Quarterly Minimum Data Set, dated dated dated [DATE] revealed the resident had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 13 out of 15 indicating the resident had independent cognitive skills for daily decision making.

Review of the care plan revealed the following: I require staff assistance for all activities of daily living related to left sided hemiplegia, I require a mechanical lift for transfers, and I require assistance with bed mobility. An interview with S4CNA on 08/16/2023 at 9:55 a.m. revealed the following: on 07/14/2023, the CNA was attempting to transfer Resident #1 from her wheelchair to the bed. S4CNA reported she picked Resident #1 up from the wheelchair, went to turn her, and she thought she was slipping so she asked the housekeeper to lower the bed. S4CNA reported she laid her across the foot of the bed and she asked the other staff to get help. S4CNA reported that the resident complained of leg pain when she was on the bed. S4CNA reported that she didn't know if her leg twisted or what. S4CNA reported she usually used the lift with 2 people to transfer Resident #1. When asked why she didn't use the lift with Resident #1, she reported that she thought she could get her into the bed. An interview with S3Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/CNA supervisor 08/16/2023 at 12:55PM revealed she worked on 07/15/2023. S3LPN/CNA supervisor revealed when she assessed the resident, the resident complained of pain from the knee down. S3LPN/CNA supervisor reported the left leg didn't look right and the left hip looked rolled out. S3LPN/CNA supervisor reported the resident had limited ROM to that left leg. S3LPN/CNA supervisor notified the physician and sent the resident to the emergency room . S3LPN/CNA supervisor reported she interviewed S4CNA and the CNA reported to her that she transferred the resident from the wheelchair to the bed by herself and she might have gotten her feet tangled. S4CNA reported to S3LPN/CNA supervisor that the resident did not fall on the floor and the resident complained about her leg hurting at some point. S3LPN/CNA supervisor reported S4CNA knew Resident #1 was a 2 person transfer before the incident. S3LPN/CNA supervisor reported that the CNA did not ask for assistance and did the transfer own her own. Review of the hospital's History and Physical dated 07/16/2023 revealed the x-ray of her left hip showed comminuted displaced and angulated left hip and intertrochanteric fracture. Resident was admitted for management of her acute left hip fracture. An interview with S2Director of Nursing on 08/16/2023 at 3:00PM confirmed Resident #1 required 2 person assistance with transfers and the CNA should have asked for assistance to transfer the resident from the wheelchair to the bed and should have used the Hoyer lift. Review of the facility's Quality Assurance (QA) Plan for the improper transfer on 07/14/2023 revealed: An incident occurred when an employee attempted to transfer a resident without assistance and the use of a lift. This oversight caused the resident to fall. The resident is short in stature but large, she is incapable of assisting in transferring. It is the facility's rule to call for assistance when a resident requires total assistance or uses a mechanical lift. The policy states that if a resident is unable to transfer independently, they should be transferred with the Hoyer lift or 2-person manual transferring. The policy also states that at least two nursing staff must be needed to transfer a resident with the lift. We have a policy and procedure guideline for this activity. The policy will accompany this QA along with the Hoyer lift competency. An investigation was initiated by the DON and a Statewide Incident Management System Report was submitted to the state agency. It is the facility's finding that the incident could have been averted if 2 people had been present with the transfer. The safety of residents is our number one priority. Policy and procedures are used to comply with the standard rules and regulations for competency in the care and health of our resident. The following plan of correction was implemented. 1. Corrective action: The resident involved was sent to emergency room for medical evaluation. The CNA involved was given a disciplinary warning for not following the facility's policy regarding transfers. The CNA involved was in-serviced on the proper communication techniques in notifying the LPN and ensuring the LPN acknowledged the report. The CNA involved was in-serviced on the importance of getting assistance with transfers whether it be with the lift or a 2 person manual assist. The CNA was trained by Therapy on the proper transfer techniques and CNA demonstrated to the therapist the transfer technique. Any deviations from the training were corrected and explained to the CNA by the therapist. 2. Affecting other residents: All residents that require assistance with transfers have the potential to be affected. CNAs were in-serviced on the importance of following the facility's policy and procedures regarding transfers. CNAs also received transfer training by the Therapy Director on the proper procedures for transfers. New hire CNAs will be trained by the therapy department on how to properly transfer a resident. 3. Measures to prevent reoccurrence: Monitors were developed to monitor transfers to ensure CNAs are properly transferring residents. These monitors will be completed once a week x 4 weeks then randomly thereafter. CNA Coordinator or designee will in-service CNAs on proper transfers using gait belt, two persons assist and lifts quarterly. CNA coordinator developed a list of residents' transfer requirements and abilities posted to CNA communication board. New hire CNAs will be trained by Therapy on the proper transfer techniques. 4. Monitoring CNA Coordinator will monitor transfer techniques randomly by observing transfers and completing skills checkoffs. If CNA does not show proficiency in transfers, he/she will be retrained by therapy. Review of the facility's above actions revealed the facility had implemented the training, monitoring, and quality control aspects by 08/11/2023.

A review of Resident #1's record revealed a CT (computerized tomography) of the cervical spine dated 01/28/19 at 4:22PM with an impression of Nondisplaced longitudinal fracture through the posterior aspect of the C2 vertebral body. A further review of Resident #1's record revealed a CT of the lumbar spine dated 01/28/19 at 4:23PM with an impression of Nondisplaced corner [MEDICAL CONDITION] anterior superior L2 vertebral body. Resident #2: A review of Resident #2's record revealed an admitted [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of Resident #2's Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 5, which indicates severely impaired cognition. A further review revealed Resident #2 requires limited assistance with transferring by one person assist. A review of Resident #2's nurse's notes revealed an entry dated 12/14/18 that stated nurse was called to room at 8:05PM. Upon entry, S1CNA stated she had transferred resident to the bed unassisted and resident is complaining of left arm and shoulder pain. Resident was sent to the emergency room .

In an interview on 02/13/19 at approximately 10:30AM, S3DON stated when a CNA is hired, they are oriented by working the floor with other CNAs, on different halls and on different shifts. At the end of the orientation, S4CNA Floor Supervisor goes around and asks the CNAs how the new CNA is doing. Also, S4CNA Floor Supervisor makes observations and monitors them, too. However, there is no orientation packet, etc. There is nothing he signs off when they are done. There is no skills check off system in place at this time. In an interview with S4CNA Floor Supervisor at 10:55AM on 02/13/19, he confirmed when someone is hired as a CNA they orient on the floor by working four days with another CNA. Then, after four days, he decides if they are done with orientation, need more orientation, or are not going to work out. He verified he does not sign off on anything at the end of orientation. He confirmed he does not have any documentation of S1CNA's orientation. In an interview on 02/13/19 at 1:55PM, S3DON confirmed there is no orientation system in place to check off new CNAs on their skills/competencies before completing orientation. She stated newly hired CNAs orient by working the floors with other CNAs and S4CNA Floor Supervisor walks the floors and monitors them, too. She further stated after four days of working with other CNAs, S4CNA Floor Supervisor asks the other CNAs how the newly hired CNA is doing before signing off on their orientation. Again, S3DON confirmed there is no paperwork completed during orientation or when a CNA finishes orientation to validate skills were checked off. A review of the personnel charts for S1CNA and S2CNA revealed no documented evidence of orientation or skills check offs at the time of hire. A review of a 01/29/2019 Nursing Counseling Form revealed S3DON counseled S1CNA regarding putting residents in danger due to unsafe work practices. It stated this was S1CNA's third counseling. She had been involved in 1. Transferring a resident with no assistance and resident slid to the floor, 2. CNA was involved in transferring a resident with no assistance and resident had a shoulder dislocation, and 3. CNA was involved with lifting a resident up in lift and sling was not attached properly and resident fell to the floor with a C2 and L2 fracture.

F689K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as was possible for 2 (#1, #2) of 10 (#1-#10) residents reviewed for accidents by failing to supervise and monitor staff when transferring residents. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy to Resident #1 on 01/28/19 at 3:45PM when Resident #1 was being transferred by two CNAs with a lift where the straps were not securely in place on the bar. This resulted in Resident #1 falling to the floor. The resident was transferred to a local hospital and found to have a cervical fracture at the C2 level and a lumbar fracture at the L2 level. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy for Resident #2 on 12/14/18 at 8:05PM when Resident #2 was transferred from the wheelchair to the bed by S1CNA. At that time, Resident #2 began complaining of left arm and shoulder pain. The resident was sent to a local hospital where she was admitted and diagnosed with [REDACTED]. S11Administrator and S3DON (Director of Nurses) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 02/21/19 at 4:00PM.

This deficient practice continued at a potential for harm for the 43 residents that required assistance with transfers. Findings: Resident #1 Review of the record for Resident #1 revealed an admitted [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of Resident #1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 11/05/18 revealed a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 12, which indicates moderately impaired cognition. A further review revealed resident #1 was coded as total dependence with 2 person assist for bed mobility, transferring, and toileting. On 02/11/2019 at 10:15AM, Resident #1 was interviewed. She was sitting up in a geri chair at the bedside. She was wearing a hospital gown and a large neck brace. She appeared neat and clean with a lift pad beneath her. She stated she was dropped while being transferred with the lift. She stated two CNAs were lifting her and let go of her and she fell . She said she broke her head, neck, and back and her right shoulder is messed up. She stated they took her to the emergency room but she came back the same day without spending the night in the hospital. She said they haven't dropped her since that incident. She denied any pain at present. A review of the facility's investigative report dated 01/28/19 revealed at 3:45PM, Resident #1 was heard calling out. When entering resident's room, Resident #1 was found on the floor under the lift with S1CNA and S2CNA beside resident with the call light pressed. The report further stated Resident #1 was sent to the hospital. The 24 hour follow up stated Resident #1 was sent to the emergency room and returned with a neck collar brace and [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of Resident #1's record revealed a CT (computerized tomography) of the cervical spine dated 01/28/19 at 4:22PM with an impression of Nondisplaced longitudinal fracture through the posterior aspect of the C2 vertebral body. A further review of Resident #1's record revealed a CT of the lumbar spine dated 01/28/19 at 4:23PM with an impression of Nondisplaced corner [MEDICAL CONDITION] anterior superior L2 vertebral body. In an interview on 02/12/19 at 1:30PM, S3DON stated she went in Resident #1's room as soon as the 01/28/19 incident happened and stated the sling was not hooked on one corner of the lift. She said she inspected the sling to see if it was torn or ripped and it was not. She stated after investigating the incident, it is believed the sling strap must not have been placed completely on the lift arm hook and it slipped off. She confirmed it was one of the hooks attached by S1CNA. She stated S1CNA was discharged from employment the following day because they felt she was unsafe. S3DON stated when CNAs are hired at the facility, they are oriented on the floor but there is no skills check off or paperwork proving competency for each skill, such as using the lift or transferring residents. An interview was conducted at 1:43PM on 02/12/19 with S4CNA Floor Supervisor. He stated he trained S1CNA when she was hired. There was no additional training provided to S1CNA or other CNAs.

She said when Resident #1 was in the air, the sling made a pop sound and the resident fell to the ground before they could catch her. She stated the sling came out of the lift's arm hook on S1CNA's side. She further stated S1CNA was a newer CNA and needed more experience. A review of an alleged incident/accident report revealed that on 09/24/18, S1CNA had been involved in an incident in which the CNA attempted to transfer Resident #1 without any other assistance. In this incident, S1CNA assisted the resident to the floor and the resident did not receive any apparent injuries. At that time, S1CNA received verbal counseling, but there was no evidence of increased monitoring/supervision of S1CNA assisting residents with transfers after this incident. Resident #2: A review of Resident #2's record revealed an admitted [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of Resident #2's Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 5, which indicates severely impaired cognition.

F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

I. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident's environment remained free of accident hazards by failing to ensure that resident #47 was compliant with the facility's smoking policy. The facility failed to: 1.) Reassess resident #47's ability to understand the risk of smoking in the facility with Oxygen in progress as well as the danger of starting a fire from sparks from the cigarette or cigarette butt, 2.) Add new interventions when current interventions did not work, 3.) Have a care plan meeting that involved the IDT and family in order to identify possible barriers for the resident's noncompliance in following the facility's smoking policy, and 4.) Increase supervision and monitoring of the resident after failed attempts at getting the resident to comply with the facility's policy on smoking. The facility identified 8 residents (#7, #12, #40, #47, #51, #63, #65, #80) as being smokers. Resident #47 was the only resident with continuous oxygen. Two residents (#63, #7) had Oxygen in the room for use as needed. This failed practice had the potential to affect 68 residents in the facility. An Immediate Jeopardy situation began on 10/28/14 when resident #47 had a "smoke-like smell coming from room and ashes on the floor ". Documentation revealed that resident #47 had Oxygen per nasal cannula at 2 Liters in progress at the time. The resident in an interview said, she does not think that it is that dangerous to smoke in her room with her Oxygen. S1Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy situation on 12/10/14 at 3:22PM. The Immediate Jeopardy ended on 12/11/14 at 9:00AM when the facility's Administrator provided an acceptable plan of removal labeled "Charlyn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center Plan of action for Correcting the Smoking Deficiency" which included the following: 1. We assigned an employee one on one until the conference with the family, staff, and Ombudsman was held. 2. A conference has been held with the responsible party and the Ombudsman for this area concerning the resident with unsafe smoking issues. The conference stated the deficient practice and out plan with the family. All parties present signed the documentation including the resident. 3. We are now conducting hourly searches of the resident's room for smoking materials. 4. We are reviewing and revising the smoking assessment sheet. All smokers will be reviewed by the new sheet. The Physician will be involved as indicated by the review. 5. A care plan will be developed for the issues identified. The staff will be in-serviced on the issues and their responsibilities. 6. We are revising our smoking policy and procedures. All smokers will be given a copy along with an explanation/reason for the policy. 7. All new admits along with the responsible party will be required to sign agreeing to the policy and consequences of not following it. 8. An in-service will be held with the staff on the new policy and their responsibilities. 9. A QA procedure will be developed for monitoring smokers along with documentation for same. 10. All smoking issues will be reviewed/discussed in our Quarterly QA meeting. The deficient practice remains at a level 2. Findings: A review of the chart revealed that resident #47 was admitted [DATE]. Her [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A review of the safe smoking assessment dated [DATE] and 10/13/14 revealed that the resident was assessed to be a safe smoker. This smoking assessment tool assesses the residents mental clarity to smoke by themselves, whether their hands have the physical ability to hold smoking material, if they can light their own cigarette safely, if they burn their fingers/clothing, if they are likely to drop smoking materials, and whether or not they dispose of cigarettes in the ashtray. This assessment tool does not address if the resident is compliant with the smoking policy. A review of the Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment date of 10/13/14 revealed that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14 (cognitively intact). A review of the re-entry MDS dated [DATE] the resident scored 12 (moderately impaired). A review of the December 2014 physician orders [REDACTED]. The resident had oxygen orders dating back to admit on 10/22/13. A review of the Nurse notes revealed the following documentation: 07/04/14 - CNA entered room, resident smoking, did not have on Oxygen at this time, counseled resident, removed cigarettes and lighter, instructed to call for assistance if wanted to smoke. 07/07/14 - Upon entering the room to give the resident medications, the resident was lying in bed on left side smoking in the room. Oxygen per nasal canal in place. Explained that resident could not smoke while wearing oxygen and in the room. The resident attempted to put out the cigarette on a lid that covered a coffee cup, the cigarette burned through the plastic lid and fell on to the blanket that she was covered with causing a hole in the blanket. 07/12/14 - Upon entering the room the resident was sitting on side of bed with oxygen in place. Resident had labored breathing. Smoke could be smelled strongly in the room. A pack of Marlboro cigarettes was lying on the bedside tray with a lighter. 10/07/14 - Resident mobile around facility, in wheelchair propelling self to go outside to smoke. 10/28/14 - Aide states that resident has smoke-like smell coming from room and ashes on the floor. Oxygen per nasal cannula at 2 liters on. Encouraged resident not to smoke in room. 11/24/14 - Propelled to smoke area, resident asked CNA if she could keep oxygen on while smoking. A review of the careplan with a next revision due date of 01/13/15 and goal that the resident will comply with facility policies for smoking revealed the following interventions: orientate to designated smoking areas, make sure ashtrays are provided in all designated smoking areas, remind resident never to smoke in room, smoking safety assessment quarterly and prn, and make MD aware of any problems immediately. A review of the policy and procedure provided by the facility on 12/09/14 revealed in part "No smoking is permitted inside the facility. This policy applies to employees, visitors, and residents. Also no smoking will be allowed in an area when oxygen is in use". During an interview with resident #47 on 12/09/14 at 2:10pm the resident stated that she does not think that it is that dangerous to smoke in her room with her Oxygen. She stated that someone told her that she would have to have an open flame on for her Oxygen to start a fire. An interview with S2DON on 12/09/14 at 2:45PM revealed that the facility has a smoking policy and they usually have the smoking residents sign a copy. She was unable to produce a copy signed by the resident #47 or her responsible party. During an interview with S6CNA on 12/10/14 at 10:05AM, this CNA was asked where the resident keeps her cigarettes. She stated that the resident has a pack of cigarettes on her night stand and pointed in the direction of the nightstand. Observation at this time revealed a pack of Marlboro cigarettes sitting on the night stand. The pack was missing a couple of cigarettes. An interview was held with S1ADM, S3ADON, S4MDS, S2DON on 12/10/14 at 11:30AM. At this time S3DON, S1ADM, S4MDS, and S3ADON confirmed that they have had problems with resident #47 smoking in her room with her oxygen on. It was stated that the resident had previously been in a room down the hall for about a year and that room really smelled like smoke. The ADON stated that they were monitoring the resident for smoking with her oxygen on in her room, even when the resident was further down the hall. S2DON stated that the resident would hide cigarettes all in her room, such as in her drawers and clock. S1ADM stated that they moved the resident to a room closer to the smoking area in hopes that that would encourage the resident not to smoke in the room. S2DON confirmed that the careplan was not updated to reflect the resident's noncompliance or the interventions that they have reported. She also confirmed that the resident was assessed to be a safe smoker per their current smoking assessment tool. She further confirmed that there smoking tool did not address wether or not the resident was compliant with the facilities smoking policy. She agree that this information was important in deciding whether or not the resident is a safe smoker. When informed of the resident's statements that she did not think that it was dangerous to smoke with her oxygen on and that someone had told her that it would need an open flame for the oxygen to catch fire, S3ADON stated that she (the resident) had told her the same thing and she was not sure who would have told her that. S1ADM stated that they had counseled the resident and the resident's family concerning this matter. S1ADM also stated that the employees know to keep resident #47's smoking materials at the nursing station. When asked if the resident's physician had been notified of the issues with her smoking with her Oxygen on, S1ADM and S2DON confirmed that the resident's physician had not been notified. Interview with S10CNA on 12/10/14 at 2:10PM revealed that she stated that the resident had a cigarette last night and was asking her for a match. Interview with resident #47 on 12/10/14 at 2:40PM revealed that the resident stated she now understands that smoking with her Oxygen on is a safety issue for herself and the other residents. When asked if she had a cigarette and lighter at that moment would she choose to smoke in her room with Oxygen she stated "I hope not, but I just can't say for sure". II. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment remains as free of accident hazards as is possible; and each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents, by 1) failing to ensure that sampled resident #28's electrical outlet was covered and the air conditioning unit wiring was not exposed and 2) by having an unsecured portable oxygen cylinder in sampled resident #87's room. Findings: On 11:05AM an observation of sampled resident #28's room revealed an electric outlet that did have a cover. Further observation of the room revealed the wiring to air conditioning unit was not completely covered and approximately 1/2 of the insulation was exposed. On 12/11/14 at 9:44AM, an observation of resident #87's room revealed one portable oxygen cylinder that had 2000 psi (pounds per square inch) of oxygen observed in the portable cylinder. The tank was unsecured and free standing next to the resident's dresser. On 12/11/14 at 11:20AM, an observation and interview of the resident's room was conducted with S1Administrator. He confirmed the psi of oxygen remaining in the cylinder and then confirmed that the oxygen cylinder should not have been left unsecured in sampled resident #87's room.
