Based on observation, medical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to reach and/or maintain the highest possible level of functioning and well-being for one (1) of three (3) Stage 2 sample residents reviewed for range of motion (ROM). Services and interventions to prevent a decline in ROM were not provided, resulting in actual harm. The resident developed contractures which caused pain when attempts to reposition the resident were made. Resident Identifier: #8. Facility Census: 59. Findings include: a) Resident #8 During a Stage 1 interview, on 02/03/15 at 03:59 p.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #20 said the resident had a contracture of the left upper extremity. On 02/04/15 at 02:05 p.m., observation of the resident revealed her left arm drawn tightly into her body, with the left hand resting on her chest. Her fingers were stiffly curled into a partial fist. The resident was not interviewable and did not attempt to lift or straighten out her left arm or hand when asked to do so. On 02/05/15 at 10:40 a.m., review of the quarterly minimum data set (MDS) with an assessment reference date (ARD) 01/16/15, did not identify the resident had a contracture. The resident was unable to complete the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment. The MDS revealed Resident #8 needed total care with transfers, locomotion, bathing, and toileting, and extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. The assessment for functional limitations in range of motion showed no impairment for the resident's upper or lower extremities. Resident #8's diagnoses included Dementia, [MEDICAL CONDITION], and Arthritis. No diagnoses were noted for any type of neurological deficit or weakness. Review of the resident's care plan, on 02/05/15 at 11:30 a.m., revealed the last care conference was on 01/28/15. The current care plan included a problem of altered self-care deficit related to "left sided weakness..." with a problem start date of 10/29/14. Two (2) of the approaches under this care area, created 10/29/14, were "up in geri-chair as tolerated related to poor trunk control and leaning to left side" and "turn and position every one (1) to two (2) hours and as needed." A care area for "Alteration in nutritional status" included, "unable to feed herself leaning to left side...." On 02/05/15 at 3:22 p.m., an interview with Nurse Aide (NA) #40, who had provided care for Resident #8, revealed Resident #8 "...used to be independent before she had her stroke." Review of the NA Kiosk, the tool to inform NAs about individual resident care, with NA #40, found the instructions included "poor trunk control make sure to periodically rearrange, two (2) person assist, use pillows on weak side, position in bed turned two (2) hours." Employee #40, who was also the restorative nursing aide, could not remember Resident #8 ever receiving any restorative nursing services. Review, on 02/05/2015 at 1:20 p.m., of an occupational therapist's (OT) progress note dated 11/06/14 revealed, "OT received evaluation order due to concerns with L (left) hand contracture. OT attempted to see pt (patient) 11/5/14, sleeping unable to rouse but did tolerate PROM (passive range of motion) to L hand, wrist, elbow without s/o (signs of) pain. Attempted again with resident sleeping. She was alert briefly and able to follow commands to 'squeeze my hand' and 'open up your fingers' demonstration functional grip strength. She again tolerated PROM to L hand and wrist without c/o (complaint of) or s/o (signs of) pain. At rest, her L hand is in a good resting posture without increased tone noted. At this time, it does not appear as though her hand is contracted. Spoke with RN (registered nurse), (RN's name), will recommend restorative for AROM (active range of motion) and PROM while awake. OTR (occupational therapist, registered) will continue to monitor resident and reassess as needed." An observation, on 02/05/15 at 2:27 p.m., found the resident lying in bed with her eyes closed. Her upper trunk was tilted to the left, with her left arm pulled tightly to her body. The resident's left hand was rigidly drawn resting on her chest. The resident was lying in poor body alignment with her right hip raised off the bed approximately three (3) inches, her right knee was up in the air bent at a 30 degree angle, and the bottom of her right foot was resting on the bed. The resident's head rested on one (1) pillow. No other pillows were present on the resident's bed to support the resident's body position. Review of medical records, on 02/05/15 at 4:37 p.m., revealed a nursing progress note dated 11/03/14, "Left hand noted to be contracting OT eval (evaluate) order," and a physician's orders [REDACTED]." On 02/09/15 at 10:56 a.m., a joint interview with Restorative Nurse #49, the LPN #19, who noted Resident #8's decline and change in condition, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse #50, took place. The interview revealed the resident was sent to the hospital emergency department for an evaluation due to left sided weakness on 10/09/14. According to LPN #19, "The resident was unable to sit up straight, but kept falling over." She said, "I got the order to send the resident to the hospital emergency department for evaluation." The MDS nurse stated, "At that time the resident started drawing her left hand and she had not done so before." The MDS nurse also stated a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].#49 confirmed she had a conversation with the occupational therapist in November (2014) and was aware of the OT's recommendation for restorative nursing services. When asked if Resident #8 had received restorative nursing, Restorative Nurse #49 stated she did not get an order for [REDACTED]. Restorative Nurse #49 and LPN #19 agreed, based on Resident #8's condition, it would be good nursing practice to do some range of motion exercise interventions for Resident #8. Review, on to 02/09/15 at 11:35 a.m., of the hospital emergency department record, dated 10/09/14, revealed the clinical impression was "focal neurological deficit - likely [MEDICAL CONDITION]." The emergency department record noted, "New left upper and lower extremity weakness. Patient rotated to left. Left hand and arm held in flexion." On 02/09/15 at 12:33 p.m., interview with Occupational Therapist (OT) #97, revealed OT evaluated Resident #8, "...due to a decline related to a possible [MEDICAL CONDITION]." OT #97 stated the "...resident presented guarding her left, and would not use her left arm, but guarded it." The OT stated, "...I was able to do ROM without the resident grimacing or showing signs of pain," and, "The resident did not need the skilled services of a therapist, but restorative nursing could do the services the resident needed, so I referred (Resident #8's name) to restorative nursing." The OT explained the referral process and the form used. OT #97 appeared surprised when informed the resident had not had any restorative nursing services to date. The OT was unable to provide a copy of Resident #8's referral to restorative nursing services or physician's orders [REDACTED]. On 02/09/15 at 12:50 p.m., upon request, OT #97 observed, assessed, and compared Resident #8's current condition to her condition observed by OT in the November 2014 evaluation. The resident was in her room sitting in a geri-chair with her left arm drawn to her body, her left hand resting on her chest, her fingers curled into a partial fist, and leaning over on the left arm of the geri-chair with her head resting on her left shoulder. OT #97 attempted to do range of motion to the resident's left arm; however, the resident grimaced each time the OT attempted to move the arm. The OT remarked she thought the resident was more afraid that the OT was going to hurt her than the resident was actually experiencing pain. The OT tried to get the resident to open her left hand; however, the resident only opened her right hand. The OT gently attempted to help the resident open her left hand and was unable to fully open and straighten the fingers. When asked if the resident was different now than when assessed on 11/06/14, the therapist said, "Yes, definitely." OT #97 stated Resident #8 had had a decrease in ROM to the left hand with some arthritis, and commented, "Now there is a contracture of the two (2) little fingers of the left hand, as well as decreased ROM of the middle finger." OT #97 stated "(Resident #8) could benefit now from the use of a splint, and I will see to that." The resident was also in need of being repositioned; however, when the OT went to straighten the resident's neck, she winced and cried out. The OT immediately stopped. She stated she needed to get a second person to assist and needed to get a pillow to prop up the resident's side. She then left the room. Review of a multi-disciplinary rehabilitation screening found a screening dated 11/24/14 which included, "Left weakness noted 10/09/14 with headache with significant decline." A screening, dated 12/29/14, noted the, "total dependence with lift for transfers no skilled treatment received at this time." There was no mention found in the evaluations regarding the resident's repositioning needs. .

F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, record review, staff interview, and review of manufacturer's recommendations, the facility failed to provide care and services to prevent accidents to the extent possible for six (6) of sixteen (16) residents reviewed for safe use of mechanical lifts. Resident #44 was injured while being transferred on a mechanical lift device on three (3) occasions within a three (3) month period. The facility failed to recognize this pattern of injury related to the use of the mechanical lift, and failed to ensure direct care staff were trained or re-trained as needed. Nursing personnel used a lift which did not coincide with the physical or cognitive needs of Resident #1, resulting in a potential for an accident during a transfer, and directives for the use of mechanical lifts for Residents #70, #17, #13, and #49 contained conflicting information. During the initial tour of the facility, two (2) bottles of cleanser were found in areas which were accessible to residents. These practices affected six (6) residents; however, they had the potential to affect more than a limited number of other residents. Resident identifiers: #44, #2, #70, #17, #13, and #49. Facility Census: 55. Findings include: a) Resident #44 The facility incident and accident reports were maintained on a computerized system. When asked for a list of all incidents/accidents occurring in the previous six (6) months, staff provided a list with no resident names or resident numbers to associate with the occurrence. The list only had an "occurrence number", and description such as "fall incident", "clinical incident", "medication incident", to broadly describe the incident/accident. Employee #101, Quality Assurance Coordinator, Registered Nurse (RN), confirmed, when interviewed on 08/21/13 at 9:51 a.m., there was no method for staff to quantify or track individual resident's incidents. On 08/21/13 at 4:15 p.m., a random selection of facility incident and accident reports was requested for review. During this review it was noted Resident #44 incurred injuries on three (3) occasions between the months of April 2013 and June 2013. On 04/26/13 a report described the resident experienced swelling and a blue tinge above the right eyebrow. The incident report indicated while being transferred from bed to chair, the nurse aide was removing the Hoyer lift pad hooks when the Hoyer lift metal bar swung back striking the resident on the forehead, just above the right eyebrow. On 05/30/13 the same resident received a skin tear during a transfer using a Hoyer lift. Again on 06/14/13, the resident received another skin tear while being transferred with a Hoyer lift. Both incident reports revealed the skin tears came from the Hoyer lift pad rubbing the resident's skin. (Note: The facility referred to the total lift utilized in their facility as a Hoyer lift, however, the brand name for the lift was "Uno Lift." ) A medical record review was conducted on 08/21/13 at 4:30 p.m.. This review revealed three (3) nursing notes dated 04/26/13, 05/30/13 and 06/14/13. These notes consistently reflected the same information contained in the incident reports. There was no documentation contained in the medical record which indicated the incidents involving this resident were discussed and interventions put in place to prevent further injury related to the use of a lift with this resident. Resident #44's care plan was reviewed. The care plan contained the following problem statement, "Altered self-care r/t (related to) dementia with psychosis and decreased mobility AEB (as evidenced by): requires total care for all ADLs." The care plan contained the following intervention related to this problem, "Hoyer lift for transfers." The resident's "Resident Record," which described the specific services nursing assistants were to provide and equipment to use, was reviewed. This indicated Resident #44 was transferred using a Hoyer lift. . The DON, was interviewed on 08/22/13 at 8:50 a.m.. She stated, regarding the incidents which occurred with Resident #44, the incidents were discussed during their fall/incident meeting. She could provide no evidence of this discussion or information that indicated interventions were implemented, after the first accident, in an effort to prevent additional injuries. During the first accident, the resident was bruised from being hit in the head with the lift bar. The DON stated if a reevaluation of the resident's lift status was warranted, then therapy would do an evaluation to determine the appropriate form of transfer for the resident. She had no information to suggest this step was taken following the injury to Resident #44. The DON reported the therapist utilized a "Multidisciplinary Rehab Screening" form to complete and document the evaluations performed by therapy, and to communicate which method of transfer the residents required. Resident #44's medical record was again reviewed at 10:30 a.m. on 08/22/13. The most recent "Multidisciplinary Rehab Screening" for Resident #44 was completed on 12/08/12, prior to any of the three (3) injuries incurred with the Hoyer lift. Employee #51, Director of Rehabilitation Services, was interviewed at 10:52 a.m. on 08/22/13. She reported they must have missed doing the resident's quarterly screen. She reported it appeared the resident should have had an evaluation in March 2013, but apparently the evaluation was missed. Employee #51 reported she recalled talking about the incidents involving Resident #44 and the Hoyer lift. She reported they were under the impression the resident was flailing her arm while in the lift. There was no opinion as to the cause of the injury when the resident was struck in the head with the bar. Employee #51 reported they did not reevaluate the resident for appropriateness of the continued use of the Hoyer lift following any of the three (3) incidents. Neither the nursing notes, nor the incident reports, revealed anything to support the opinion of Employee #51, that the resident was flailing her arms during the transfers. The behavior monitoring sheets, completed by the licensed nurses, and the resident record and elimination sheets, completed by the nurse aides, were reviewed for the months of April 2013, May 2013 and June 2013. None of these sheets indicated Resident #44 was resistive to care or flailed her arms during the aforementioned transfers. The in-service training documentation for the use of lifts was reviewed on 08/22/13 at 9:30 a.m. The documentation revealed of the twenty-five (25) currently employed nursing assistants (NA), only five (5) had received training on the use of the mechanical lifts utilized by this facility. This training was provided on 01/06/11 for four (4) current employees, and on 09/15/11 for another current employee. Those five (5) employees were Employee #8, Employee #11, Employee #7, Employee #13, and Employee #10. Four (4) nursing assistants (NAs) were interviewed regarding their training for use of the facility's lifts. Employee #11 was interviewed at 12:00 p.m. on 08/22/13. At 12:03 p.m. on 08/22/13, Employee #9 was interviewed. Employee #16 was interviewed at 12:05 p.m. on 08/22/13. At 12:08 p.m. on 08/22/13, Employee #8 was interviewed. None of the employees interviewed could state when or how they received training on the correct use for either of the lift devices used at this facility. The facility directives regarding who was to be transferred with a mechanical lift and which mechanical lift was to be used were confusing and inconsistent. Two (2) lists were available to NAs and they did not have the same information. During an observation, nursing assistants were heard to disagree on which method was to be used for transferring a resident. An interview was conducted with Employee #96, Director of Nursing (D0N), at 8:50 a.m. on 08/22/13. The DON stated some of the staff were trained on the use of lifts in 2011. She reported this was all the documentation she had regarding the training of nurse aides related to the use of the mechanical lifts currently utilized by the facility. The DON further confirmed no additional training was provided following any of the three (3) injuries incurred by Resident #44. . . b) Resident #1 On 08/21/13, upon entrance to the facility at approximately 8:15 a.m., Resident #1 was observed sitting in the Activity Room in her wheelchair asleep. Her head was falling to one side, unsupported. The resident's medical record was reviewed. It was noted the resident was ordered to be transferred with a sit to stand lift. At 12:15 p.m. on 08/21/13 staff approached the resident to toilet her. The nursing assistant (NA) assigned to the resident for that day, Employee #14, requested assistance from a restorative licensed practical nurse (LPN), Employee #66. The NA asked the LPN to borrow her gait belt. The LPN replied the resident was to be transferred with a sit to stand lift. Employee #14, (NA) and Employee #66, (LPN), were observed transferring Resident #1 using a stand up lift (Sabina II with a support vest). The resident's feet were placed on the platform by Employee #14. The resident's hands were placed on the handle bars. As Employee #66 raised the lift, Employee #14 attempted to hold the resident from behind using the resident's clothing. During this time the resident was saying, "I am falling." The resident was lifted,but was unable to hold onto the bars as required with this type of lift. The vest of the lift rose up under the resident's arms, leaving her hanging with the vest high up under her arms. The manufacturer's recommendations for use of the Sabina II lift used to transfer Resident #1 were reviewed. These recommendations and instructions stated, "Sabina with support vest to be used on oriented, partial weight bearing and able to ambulate short distances." Interview with Employee #96, Director of Nursing (DON), on 08/22/13 at 1:30 p.m., revealed Resident #1 was last assessed on 04/15/13 for a stand up lift. When asked how often residents were assessed by therapy for transfers, it was confirmed the time frame was every three (3) months, or as needed for changes in a resident's transfer ability. It was confirmed this resident had not been assessed in over four (4) months. Employee #96 also confirmed Resident #1 was non-ambulatory and confused. The DON provided a "Patient/Resident Functional Assessment Form for Lifting" which was provided by the manufacturer as guidance on proper lift choice. The DON confirmed the Sabina II with support vest was not the proper lift for Resident #1, as the resident was confused, unable to hold the handle bars, unable to follow commands, and nonambulatory. An interview was held with Employee #14, nursing assistant, on 08/26/13 at 11:00 a.m.. When asked about the transfer equipment and assistance needed for the transfer of Resident #1, she stated, "It always takes two (2) to transfer this resident due to being confused and someone has to hold her up by her clothing when using the sit to stand lift." . c) Residents #70, #17, #13 and #49 On 08/22/13 at 9:00 a.m., reviews of rehabilitation screenings, the Kardex, care plans, and the tickler system ( a small card containing the resident's name, room number,toileting needs, transfer needs, shower schedule and swallowing deficits, used by nursing personnel to provide care) were conducted relative to these residents' transfer needs. The documents reviewed were the directives available for staff to provide care for residents. Due to the inconsistencies in the directives, the assessed safe method for lifting these residents could not be ascertained. Nursing staff members were not provided clear and concise information to ensure each resident was lifted by the method which was assessed as safest for any of the four (4) residents. 1) Resident #70 - No Rehabilitation screening could be located in the resident's chart. - The Kardex was dated 08/07/13 and stated, "The use of a Hoyer lift and assist of two persons for transfers." - The resident's care plan dated 08/23/13 contained no transfer directions. - The section for transfer needs on the tickler card was blank. On 08/22/13 at 9:45 a.m., Employee #9, a nursing assistant (NA) was interviewed. The NA said a lift was not used for this resident. 2) Resident #17 - A rehabilitation screening dated 04/15/13 stated, "Ambulating 100 to 200 feet consistently with a front wheeled walker and restorative aide. Independent ambulation to and from bathroom but is incontinent. Occasionally ambulates in hallway independently with front wheeled walker." - The Kardex dated 07/05/13 stated "Stand up lift." - The care plan dated 07/10/13 contained no transfer directions. - The tickler stated, "Independent." On 08/22/13 at 9:45 a.m., Employee #9, NA, was interviewed. The NA said the stand-up lift was used for transfers of this resident. 3) Resident #13: - A rehabilitation screening dated 01/24/13 stated, "Sliding board transfers and supervision with all transfers." - The Kardex dated 06/21/13 stated, "Hoyer lift for transfers." - The care plan dated 06/26/13 stated, "Hoyer lift for all transfers." - The tickler stated, "Independent with transfers." On 08/22/13 at 9:45 a.m., Employee #9, NA, was interviewed. The NA said a Hoyer lift was used for this resident for transfers. 4) Resident #49 - The rehabilitation screening dated 07/08/13 stated, "Hoyer lift for transfers." - The Kardex dated 06/13/13 stated, "Hoyer lift." - The care plan dated 06/26/13 stated, "Hoyer lift for all transfers." - The tickler stated "Assist of two." On 08/22/13 at 9:45 a.m., Employee #9, a NA,was interviewed. The NA said a Hoyer lift was used for this resident for transfers. d) During the initial tour of the facility on 08/19/13 at 12:30 p.m., the main shower rooms, one (1) on each hallway, were observed. The shower rooms were observed with open and unlocked storage of cleaning supplies. The cleaning supplies contained chemicals that could be hazardous to residents. The door to the shower room on B hall was fully open, allowing easy entry. The A hallway shower room door was closed; however, it was not locked, and could also be easily entered. Observed in both shower rooms was one (1) spray bottle containing a clear liquid labeled "Virex Tb" sitting in an unlocked cabinet. Virex Tb is a disinfectant used for surface cleaning. According to the information found on the material safety data sheet (MSDS), the Virex Tb included danger hazards to skin, eyes and clothing, and was labeled as corrosive. The MSDS also stated, "Causes skin and eye burns...Harmful or fatal if swallowed... Combustible liquid and vapor." On 08/19/13 at 12:32 p.m., Employee #96, director of nursing (DON), and Employee #68, licensed practical nurse (LPN), were asked to confirm the observations of the improperly stored chemicals. After touring the shower rooms, Employee #96 and Employee #68 confirmed the door to the cabinet in which the cleaner was stored should have been locked to prevent possible accidental access by residents. .

Inspection of September 10, 2009

1 finding
F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on medical record review, staff interview, and observation, the facility failed, for two (2) of fourteen (14) sampled residents and one (1) randomly observed resident, to provide adequate supervision and/or assistive devices to promote resident safety. Resident #22 was assessed as having a decline in urinary continence on her comprehensive assessment of July 2009. Resident #22's care plan was revised on 08/05/09 to address, among other concerns, late loss activities of daily living (ADLs) and falls. After Resident #22 had a fall with injury on 08/10/09, the care plan was not revised with interventions to promote increased safety, including safe toilet use. Resident #22 subsequently fell in her room related to an episode of urinary incontinence on 09/07/09 and sustained injuries. Additionally, review of documentation related to offerings of scheduled toileting reflect a lack of consistent provision of staff supervision with toileting at regular intervals on a daily basis. The nursing assistant in the activity / dining room by herself was not aware Residents #15 and #8 required additional supervision for swallowing problems. Resident identifiers: #22, #15, and #8. Facility census: 56. Findings include: a) Resident #22 Review of Resident #22's nursing notes, on 09/07/09 at 2:25 p.m., revealed the following entry: "9/7/09 0130 (1:30 a.m.) Residents (sic) alarm sounding. Upon entering room resident was found laying (sic) on (R) (right) side. Resident stated she had wet herself and her feet slid. Resident was assessed & noted 0.2 cm cut to back of head scant amt (amount) bleeding. Resident c/o (complained of) (R) shoulder pain, (R) elbow pain and (R) arm pain. (Name) RN supervisor was called and notified ... Noted abnormality to R humerus. ..." The resident was subsequently transferred to the emergency room for treatment. Review of the facility's patient safety events revealed Resident #22 had another fall less than a month earlier, which also required medical intervention. On 08/10/09 at 1735 (5:35 p.m.), "Called to room (number) by housekeeping, resident lying on left side. C/O pain in Left shoulder, elbow, and hip, able to squeeze my hand, weak grip, screamed in pain with elbow. rolled (sic) onto back 9 (sic) logrolled) able to move l (left) leg on command but c/o pain from hip to back. 3 cm x 3 cm laceration with skin flap on l (left) elbow sic) steri stripped small 2cm open area below this area. Logrolled onto stretcher and trasferred (sic) to gurney. ..." The resident was subsequently transferred to the emergency room for treatment. Record review revealed Resident #22 was a [AGE] year old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her monthly recapitulation of physician's orders [REDACTED]. Treatment orders included: "Bed pad alarm for safety. Personal alarm for safety. Resident is to ambulate with wheeled walker with supervision to and from functions and meals." Her most recent minimum data set assessment (MDS), a comprehensive annual assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 07/24/09, revealed, in Section B, she had both short-term and long-term memory problems, she was not able to recall the current season, location of her own room, the names and faces or staff members, or that she was in a nursing home, and her cognitive skills for daily decision-making were moderately impaired. The 07/24/09 MDS also recorded, in Section G, the resident required limited assistance by one (1) staff member with the following ADLs: bed mobility, transfer, walk in room, walk in corridor, and toilet use. In Section J4, the assessor noted the resident had a previous fall within the past thirty-one (31) to one hundred eighty (180) days. Review of the resident's two (2) most recent consecutive assessment found she had a decline in bladder continence. On the quarterly MDS, with an ARD of 04/24/09, the assessor encoded Item H1b as "1", indicating the resident was usually continent with incontinent episodes occurring once a week or less. On the 07/24/09 annual MDS, the assessor encoded Item H1b as "2", indicating the resident was now occasionally incontinent of bladder two (2) or more times a week but not daily. Review of the resident's comprehensive plan of care for 08/05/09 through 11/05/09 found reference to the toileting schedule as follows - "Toilet upon rising, before and after meals and out of room activities, before going to bed and offer toielting (sic) during each bed check at HS (hour of sleep)." However, there was no mention of other interventions developed to promote improved bladder continence, which was a factor in the resident's fall on 09/07/09. (See citations at F315 and F279.) Further review of the resident's care plan revealed the following problem statement with respect to ADLs and falls: "Alteration in ADL / mobility status with potential for falls R/T (related to) osteoarthritis, Alzhiemers (sic), dememtia (sic) AEB (as evidence by) extensive assist with bathing, dressing, locomotion off unit; limited assist with bed mobility, transfers, ambulation, toilet use, hygiene; feeds self after tray set up." The goals associated with this problem statement were: "Will have no decline with late loss ADLs (eating, toilet use, bed mobility, transfers) thru next review. Will have no fall with injury thru next review." In addition to interventions to promote the resident's cooperation with and/or participation in bathing, grooming / personal hygiene, and bed mobility, staff was to: "... Cue / encourage resident to plant feet solidly on floor to assist with transfers and prevent falls QS (every shift). Ensure safe environment ie bed in low position with wheels locked, personal items within reach, call bell in reach, floor dry, clean and clutter free QS. Ensure resident is wearing appropriate foot wear (sic) ie non-skin (sic) shoes / slippers / socks QS. Remind resident frequently during each shift not to attempt to transfer / ambulate self independently and to ring call bell for assist. ... May have Merriwalker (sic) for independent ambulation PRN (as needed). Personal and bed alarm for safety QS. ... Resident to ambulate with front wheeled walker with supervision to and from functions and meals." Interventions such as reminding the resident to not attempt to transfer / ambulate independently and to ring the call bell for assistance are of questionable value given the resident's memory and cognitive impairments. Additionally, while other ADLs were addressed in this care plan, interventions to promote safe toilet use were not. Also in this same care plan was the following problem statement: "Cognitive Loss (sic) related to Alzheimer's dementia, impaired decision making and poor safety awareness." None of the goals or interventions associated with this problem statement spoke to the resident's poor safety awareness. No revisions were made to the resident's care plan after the fall with injury on 08/10/09 (which occurred five (5) days after the resident's comprehensive care plan was reviewed and revised) to promote increased safety and prevent a subsequent fall with injury. Review of documentation of related to toileting (forms titled "Toileting Schedule for Activity Room" and "Midnight Toileting Schedule") found inconsistent / incomplete documentation to reflect Resident #22 was, on a daily basis, offered assistance with toileting at the intervals specified to reduce episodes of incontinence and promote safe toileting, given that Resident #22 was to be reminded to not transfer / ambulate independently. b) Residents #15 and #8 A lunch time observation, on 09/09/09, found Employee #1 to be the only staff member assisting ten (10) residents to eat in the activity / dining area. Among the residents present were Residents #15 and #8. The following morning, Employee #1, when asked which residents who ate in the activity / dining area had swallowing problems, identified all residents who received pureed foods were at a risk for swallowing problems. Employee #1 further related that none of the residents with regular diets had swallowing problems. Medical record review, on 09/10/09, revealed both Residents #15 and #8 received regular consistency diets and both had been identified in their comprehensive care plans as having swallowing problems. On page 3 of Resident #15's comprehensive care plan, under the problem of alteration in nutrition dated 07/08/09 through 10/01/09, found the following intervention: "Periodically monitor for swallowing difficulty (coughing, red face, wet voice) report any problems to the nurse." On page 8 of Resident #8's comprehensive care plan, under the problem of alteration in nutrition dated 08/19/09 through 11/19/09, found the following intervention: "Periodically monitor for swallowing difficulty (coughing, red face, wet voice) report any problems to the nurse." On the afternoon of 09/10/09, the director of nursing (DON - Employee #80), when questioned regarding any form of communication which identified for the nursing assistants which residents who received regular consistency diets also had swallowing problems, related there was no such communication. The DON further related Employee #1 had been with the facility for several years, and Resident #15 had previously choked in the activity / dining room during a meal. .
