A limited review for causes (for example, based on the clinical situation and a basic metabolic profile [BMP]) may be appropriate even if an extensive work-up is not. 1. The physician will manage significant fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and associated risks, appropriately and in a timely manner. a. Timeliness depends on the severity, nature, and causes of the fluid and electrolyte imbalance. b. For minor, uncomplicated fluid and electrolyte imbalance, oral rehydration may suffice. For more severe or complicated fluid and electrolyte imbalance, subcutaneous (hypodermoclysis) or intravenous rehydration may be needed. c. If medications are contributing to fluid and electrolyte imbalance, they should be tapered or stopped (at least temporarily), or the physician should provide clinically valid reasons why they cannot or should not be changed, even temporarily. 1. The staff will provide supportive measures such as providing fluids and adjusting environmental temperature. 2. The physician will help monitor for the development, progression, or resolution of fluid and electrolyte imbalance in at-risk individuals. a. For example, replacement may be adequate if the resident is clinically stable, not having [CONDITION(S)], voiding at least every 3-4 hours, and the urine specific gravity (where attainable) is less than 1.015. 1.

The SW was asked to locate a more current or annual 3877 and/ or 3878 and Level II Determination. The SW stated, There was not an annual one done because the Resident doesn't need one. It was my understanding the Resident didn't need one done annually unless there was a significant change. Review of the Level II Determination revealed, . This does not alter the nursing facility's requirement for completing the Annual Level I (DCH-3877) or reporting significant changes to the CMHSP or their contract agency . This statement was brought to the SW's attention. After reading the statement, the SW stated, I just started doing these recently. The doctors were completing these prior to me doing them. It was my understanding 3877s were done if there was a significant change. The Resident didn't need an OBRA screening because of the Dementia diagnoses.

This citation pertains to intake #MI 610. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a functioning safety device (fall defender - a device place on the bed which silently alarms/notifies the staff via pager that the Resident moved off the bed) was in place per plan of care for one (#701) of four sampled Residents reviewed for falls with injury in a total sample of four, resulting in the Resident falling without staff being aware, sustaining two lacerations to the right occipital lobe and a right hip fracture which required hospitalization and surgical intervention. Findings include: On 10/11/16 at 3:35 p.m., an interview was conducted by phone with the Resident's legal representative (LR). At that time, the LR expressed concern that Resident #701 had fallen on 9/27/16, sustained serious injuries which required hospitalization per family's request and subsequent surgical intervention for a total hip replacement. The LR further reported that Resident #701 no longer resided at the facility and was transferred following surgery to another nursing facility. On 10/12/16 at 9:30 a.m., review of Resident #701's hospital records documentation included: -Hip x-ray dated 9/27/16 noted an indication of Fall, right thigh pain. The findings included, There is an impacted right femoral neck fracture. There is 8 millimeters superior displacement of the major distal fragment . -CT (cat scan) head without contrast completed 9/27/16 noted an indication of Fall, laceration on the back of head. The findings included no acute intracranial hemorrhage. -Operative report dated 9/29/16 documented .The patient is [AGE] years old, fully ambulatory, has dementia, fell at the nursing home yesterday .and injured her right hip. The patient was brought back to the hospital, identified as having a right femoral neck fracture and was brought to the operating room today for the purpose of an elective bipolar right total hip arthroplasty . On 10/12/16 at 9:40 a.m., review of the clinical record revealed Resident #701 was initially admitted into the facility on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE] and had been discharged to the hospital on [DATE]. According to the face sheet, [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #701 had significant cognitive impairment, no behavior concerns, required extensive assistance of two persons for bed mobility and transfers, and had a fall with major injury during this assessment period. Review of the fall risk evaluations completed 9/26/16 (upon readmission into the facility) identified a score of 28.0 which noted Interventions Required. The previous fall risk evaluation completed 7/6/16 identified a score of 10.0. Interventions identified were fall defender. On 10/12/16 at 10:00 a.m., review of the facility's investigation of Resident #701's fall with injury identified the unobserved fall occurred in the Resident's room on 9/27/16 at 11:00 a.m. when the Resident self-transferred from the bed, hit head on the corner of the television stand and sustained two lacerations to the right occipital lobe. The investigation further identified She had a fall defender on her bed and was properly connected though did not alert staff when she self-transferred. On 10/12/16 at 12:00 p.m. an interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). At that time when asked about the Resident's fall on 9/27/16, the DON reported The housekeeper was the first person who found her and immediately went to get the nurse. I was doing a tour. When I came upon the unit, her room is just inside the doors, I saw Resident #701 on the floor by the bed and TV stand. She was trying to get up and sit up. Nurse F and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA E) came in and we immediately began treatment. I applied pressure to the wound on her head. Range of motion was performed and there were no concerns. She had no complaints of pain to the hip area. She did touch her head. By the time we got her up, the bleeding had stopped. The nurse administered Tylenol. The Physician was contacted and ordered STAT x-rays and neurochecks. While we were in the room, Nurse F was on the phone talking with the Resident's daughter. At that time, Nurse F handed the phone to me and we spoke for about 30 minutes. We placed her in the dining room after changing her shirt so we could keep an eye on her. I sat in there to monitor her. At lunch, name of another daughter came in the dining room and was very upset. Kept asking why we didn't send her out. I explained that the Physician had ordered neurochecks and STAT x-rays and had been monitoring the Resident. The daughter requested to have the Resident sent to the hospital and shortly after transfer, the tech arrived to obtain the x-rays but the Resident was already gone. When asked about the fall defender and whether CNA E had received the alert when the Resident got up from the bed, the DON reported, I checked the pager and there was no notification. The fall defender was in place and properly hooked up, but there was a malfunction. We have implemented a facility wide assessment to make sure that doesn't happen again. The CNA E identified by the DON as the staff assigned to Resident #701 on 9/27/16 was attempted to be reached by phone multiple times without any return call by the end of the survey. The facility's Past Non-Compliance dated 9/27/16, identified a substantial compliance date of 9/30/16 which included: Description of Quality Concern (why and how did it happen): Resident #701 who was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] on the 400 unit with MI (heart attack) and UTI (urinary tract infection) was observed in her room near the front of her bed laying on her right side with her head at the near the corner of her television stand. She self-transferred from her bed and she reported that she got spun around and fell . She hit her head on the corner of her television stand and sustained 2 lacerations to her right occipital lobe. She had a fall defender on her bed and was properly connected though did not alert staff when she self-transferred. What improvement action(s) will be done for residents found to have been effected by the concern(s): -All residents' with safety interventions were assessed to ensure there is a physician order, that they are care planned, and that they are in place and functioning. -All nursing staff will be re-educated on reviewing the care plans of readmissions and ensuring that the safety interventions if still needed are ordered, care planned, in place and functioning. -Any nursing staff that did not receive the education will be re-educated prior to their next shift. How facility will identify other residents having potential to be affected by practice AND what improvement action will be taken: -Current residents have been re-assessed for fall risk, if any residents are found to be at risk safety interventions will be ordered, care planned, in place and functioning. What measures will be put in place or what systemic changes you will make to ensure that the practice does not occur: -A continued process is in place for nurses to sign out the safety orders every shift to ensure that they are in place. -Unit Managers will review any possible admissions that are coming to their unit for being at risk for falls. -Unit Managers will review any readmissions' fall risk care plans and ensure that the safety interventions are in place prior to the resident arriving. -Admitting nurse will assess residents' fall risk on admission and put additional interventions in place as needed. How the corrective action(s) will be monitored to ensure the practices will not recur. i.e. what quality assurance program will be put in place: -QAPI meeting will be held on October 11, 2016 to review the event as well as this plan. The plan was reviewed with the Medical Director by the administrator on September 29, 2016. Weekly the D.O.N/designee will conduct random audits to ensure that the safety intervention are in ordered, care planned, in place and functioning for eight weeks. -The Administrator/designee will monitor the morning stand up meeting to ensure that admissions' safety care plans are reviewed during the meeting.

When she walks around she tries to take things belonging to others." When the LPN was asked about her behavior of "urinating in non-designated areas," she stated, "she would drop her pants anywhere and urinate." An interview was conducted with the facility Social Worker (SW) on 10/26/11 at 12:45 p.m. who reported that the resident was inially admitted for rehabilitation services, then her status changed to long term care because the family determined that they were unable to continue to care for her at home.

"The resident has 'no male care' so all I do for her is guide her back to her room. She wanders a lot. She's a freewheeler around here, it's tough to keep a finger on her. If she would have fell somewhere else in the building, we would not have known. She can get angry and aggressive. I've seen heated exchanges with residents who did not like her in their room. She was previously on another hall but was moved because of an incident with a male resident on that hall." Resident #502 was observed on 10/27/11 sitting in the day room with other residents.
