The cart was observed to have an unmarked container of liquid on top of it. The container had a pop off lid. The housekeeper was inside the resident's room and the cart was not visible to the housekeeper. At 10:11 a.m., housekeeper #1 was asked what the liquid was in the container on top of the housekeeping cart. She stated it was Virex. At 10:12 a.m., housekeeper #1 was observed going in and out of room #12. Each time she went into the resident's room she was unable to visualize the cart.

The DON was shown the clear containers containing a liquid on top of the housekeeping carts. The DON was asked if she knew what the liquid was. She stated no. Housekeeper #1 and Housekeeper #2 were asked to tell the DON what was in the clear containers on top of the carts. They both stated the liquid was Virex. At 11:00 a.m., the housekeeping supervisor was asked where chemicals such as Virex should be stored on the housekeeping carts. He stated all chemicals should be in the locked section of the cart and the cart should be within the housekeepers vision. He was asked if chemicals could be in unlabeled containers. He stated no. The supervisor was asked about the unlabeled containers on top of the carts. He stated they contained Virex and the containers should be labeled. He was asked if having the containers on top of the cart was a safe way to store the chemical. He stated he had learned over time to never rule out what a resident could do but he had never had a resident get into one of the containers. He stated if that happened the containers would be gone. At 11:20 a.m., housekeeper #1 and housekeeper #2 were asked who told them they could fill the unmarked containers with Virex and keep them on top of their cart.

F309H · Actual harm, pattern

Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure that residents maintained their highest levels of well-being for 1 (#8) of 8 sampled residents who were reviewed for interventions to prevent constipation. The facility failed to assess, monitor, and intervene with a resident who had episodes of constipation without intervention to prevent impaction. The assistant director of nursing (ADON) stated there were no other residents in the facility who had experienced an impaction. This had the potential to affect 53 residents identified by the director of nursing (DON) who resided in the facility. Findings: Resident #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A care plan, dated 05-30-13 and last updated on 12-06-13, documented resident #8 required routine laxative use due to constipation related to pain/[MEDICAL CONDITION] medication and decreased mobility.

On 02-11-14 at 11:00 a.m., resident #8 was observed lying on her left side with her eyes closed. The resident had a low bed, a fall mat, and an air mattress. Oxygen was at the bedside, but was not in use. The call light was in reach and a personal alarm was attached to her knit top. The resident was clean and well-groomed. On 02-12-14, at 9:05 a.m., resident #8 was observed sitting up in a geri-chair, dressed and was clean and well-groomed. On 02-12-14 at 4:35 p.m., the DON was asked for the bowel protocol policy.

The DON stated if the resident had not had a bowel movement another laxative would be given. The DON was asked why resident #8 had not received her PRN laxatives after she had experienced no bowel movements after three days. The DON stated the nurses should have caught it. The nurses should have been monitoring the resident's bowel sheets and providing interventions per the physician's orders [REDACTED].

The physician stated, "I do not know why the resident went over 3 days without PRN laxatives." The physician was asked if she thought this had resulted in harm to the resident. The physician stated, "It could not have helped the resident's situation at all." On 02-13-14 at 3:15 p.m., registered nurse (RN) #3 was asked if resident #8 had experienced pain or discomfort with the constipation. RN #3 stated when the resident acts uncomfortable or "hollers out" she was constipated.

(Family member) requested that (resident #1) have a CT scan of the head because she felt he was more confused that prior to the fall. The physician was notified and an order received for a CT scan of head to be done on Monday... On Tuesday, June 25th, (DON) went to (resident #1)'s room to talk to him and his family about his care. I told them the results of the CT scan. When I told them of the results of the CT of the head scan, they thought it was supposed to be on the left hand. I told them that they had requested a scan of the head and that was what the physician had ordered. They told me that his left hand was very swollen and he had complained of pain. I examined the left arm. He complained of severe pain on movement of the arm and palpation of the left shoulder area. When I asked him if the pain was in the shoulder he told me the pain went all the way from the shoulder to his wrist. No [MEDICAL CONDITION] noted in the arm. The entire arm was swollen. I elevated the arm on a pillow. The family reported that his arm had not been swollen until after his fall. (Resident #1) told me that he had tried to catch himself when he fell that night. I told them that I would call the physician and ask for an x-ray of his left shoulder, arm, and wrist area...

The nurses' notes read [MEDICAL CONDITION] noted in lower extremities. When speaking with our facility nurses, they reported that it was difficult to tell if the arm was swollen due to his obesity. The nurses report that the (family member) had told them that he had always had shoulder pain because of his arthritis..." A 14 day PPS assessment, dated 07/02/12, documented the resident was cognitively intact, had frequent pain during the preceding five days, and the resident rated his worst pain at a seven out of 10, with zero being no pain and ten as the worst pain imaginable. Review of the resident's care plan, initiated on 07/03/12, revealed documentation to show pain was not listed as a problem until 07/11/12. There were no goals or interventions related to pain identified on the care plan until 07/11/12.

She stated the initial pain assessment documented the resident had pain to his right shoulder but not the left. The DON was asked when the resident first complained of pain to the left shoulder. She stated, "On 6/21, the day after the fall." The DON was asked what the nurse did for the resident's complaint of left shoulder pain on 06/21/12. She stated the nurse gave the resident pain medication but did not address the cause of the pain. The DON was asked why the pain was not addressed on 06/23/12 when the resident complained of pain rated at a 10 out of 10 to his left shoulder that was unrelieved with [MEDICATION NAME]. She stated, "It should have been." The DON was asked if she had been made aware of the [MEDICAL CONDITION], bruising, or increasing pain prior to her assessment of the resident. She stated no.
