A Nurses' Note, dated 11/3/23 at 12:18 p.m., indicated staff received the urine sensitivity report from the hospital and the resident had ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase) in the urine. The antibiotic of Levaquin was resistant to the organism, so the Physician was notified and new orders were received to discontinue Levaquin and begin Bactrim DS (sulfonamide antibiotic) twice a day for 7 days. The urine culture results, dated 11/3/23, indicated the resident was positive for ESBL in the urine and the organism was resistant to Levaquin but was susceptible to Bactrim and Macrobid. Physician's Orders, dated 11/3/23, indicated Bactrim DS tablet 800-160 mg (Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim), give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours times 7 days for an UTI.

Nurses' Notes, dated 11/5/23 at 7:16 a.m., indicated the Physician was sent the hospital culture for the resident's UTI and again was asked what he would like to order for it. A new order was received for Macrobid 100 mg twice a day for 7 days. A medication transaction sheet from the emergency drug kit, indicated the Bactrim was removed on 11/3 at 8:18 p.m., 11/4 at 9:42 a.m., and 11/4 at 7:42 p.m. and administered to the resident. During an interview on 2/1/24 at 2:30 p.m., the Director of Nursing indicated the pharmacy would have sent a fax over to the facility indicating the resident was allergic to the Bactrim, and would not have sent any of the medication. She indicated when nursing realized the medication had not been sent and saw the fax, the Physician was notified, however, the resident still received 3 doses of the Bactrim medication that she was allergic to because they pulled it from the emergency medication supply.

F684D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure residents received the necessary treatment and services related to the lack of an assessment for a resident when the family had concerns with the resident potentially being shocked from his ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) (sends a shock and resets an abnormal heartbeat back to normal) and not documenting resident's pulse daily as part of the plan of care for 3 of 3 residents reviewed for pacemaker/defibrillator devices. (Residents B, C, and D) Findings include: 1. Record review for Resident B was completed on 8/29/23 at 9:21 a.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to heart failure, hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, atrial fibrillation and cardiac pacemaker. The Medicare 5 Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 4/28/23, indicated the resident was cognitively intact. A Care Plan, dated 2/28/23, indicated the resident had a pacemaker in place. Interventions included to count and record the apical pulse rate and rhythm for one full minute daily and notify the doctor if above 100 or below 60. The May 2023 Vitals tracking indicated the resident's pulse was not documented on the following days: 5/1, 5/2, 5/4-5/9, 5/13, 5/14, 5/16, 5/18, 5/23, 5/25, 5/26, 5/28-5/31/23 A Progress Note, dated 5/26/23 at 10:44 a.m., indicated the doctor was notified that the resident had chosen to stop all treatments and wished to be palliative care only. The resident's family was there and agreed with decision. A Nursing Assessment, dated 5/27/23, indicated the resident's blood pressure was 105/70, pulse 107, respirations 18 and oxygen saturation 96% (percent) on room air. A Progress Note dated 5/31/23 at 9:07 a.m., indicated the resident was declining. They received an order from the physician to have the pacemaker company come out to turn off the resident's ICD pacemaker. The record lacked any documentation an assessment, including the resident's vitals, had been completed since 5/27/23. A Progress Note, dated 5/31/23 at 2:00 p.m., indicated the resident was found without vitals. The family was at the bedside. An order was received from the physician to release the body to the funeral home. Interview with RN 1 on 8/29/23 at 11:03 a.m., indicated she was the resident's nurse the night before he had passed away. There were no concerns or observations the resident had any problems with his pacemaker. The next morning she came into work and the family stopped her and told her the resident was getting shocked from his pacemaker. She then went and reported this to the resident's nurse. Interview with LPN 1 on 8/29/23 at 11:08 a.m., indicated RN 1 had told her the family had concerns the resident's pacemaker was shocking him. She went and observed the resident and did not believe the resident was getting shocked. The resident was incoherent at the time and was actively dying. She tried to explain to the resident's family the resident was dying and was probably having spasms from being in renal failure. The family requested to have the pacemaker turned off. She then went and spoke with the Unit Manager. They called the pacemaker company and they indicated they would come out to turn it off and the facility could place a magnet over the pacemaker to turn it off while waiting for a representative to arrive. LPN 1 indicated they did not have a magnet. They called a hospice company that came to the facility and borrowed one from them. She had placed the magnet and secured on the resident as best as she could with tape, but the resident was being restless and the magnet was not wanting to stay in place. She had not documented anything related to this incident or any assessment she had completed on the resident. Interview with the Unit Manger on 8/20/23 at 11:13 a.m., indicated LPN 1 had told her the resident's family was concerned he was getting shocked from his pacemaker and they wanted it turned off. She went and observed the resident and did not believe the resident was getting shocked. They notified the doctor and he said they could call the company and get it turned off. They called the company and were told they could use a magnet to turn it off until the company representative arrived. They tried to secure the magnet as best as they could with tape. The company came and turned off the resident's pacemaker prior to his passing that day. She had not documented anything related to the incident or any assessment she had completed on the resident. Interview with the Director of Nursing on 8/29/23 at 3:10 p.m., indicated she had worked at the facility for 7 months and nursing had not been in-serviced during that time for pacemakers/defibrillators. She indicated a magnet was used to turn off a pacemaker/defibrillator. They did not keep magnets in the facility because the nurses are not ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) certified. If an incident happened, they would send the resident out to the hospital. Resident B's family did not want him sent out to the hospital, so that is why the nurse received the magnet and put it on the resident before the pacemaker company could come and turn it off. She indicated the pulse checked daily was supposed to be done until the first pacemaker check up. The resident had a checkup completed in April 2023 so the pulse did not need to be checked daily. The resident's care plan should have been updated to not include that intervention. Nursing should have documented the incident and any assessments they had completed on the resident. 2. Record review for Resident C was completed on 8/29/23 at 12:45 p.m. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from misappropriation of property related to stolen jewelry by CNA 1 for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for misappropriation of property. (Residents 50 and 23) The deficient practice was corrected by 2/17/23, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility thoroughly investigated the missing jewelry as well as notified the police. A report was initiated by the police department and a detective was assigned to the case. CNA 1 was terminated as she failed to return phone calls or come back to the facility for a statement. The case was still open as some of the jewelry was still missing. Findings include: 1.

The resident also indicated she had hoped the person was caught so they could not take from anyone else. An Incident Report, dated 2/17/23, indicated the resident reported to staff while they were providing care, her wedding band was missing. The resident had 3 rings and one was missing and she remembered seeing her ring the day before. The room was searched and the ring was not located. The resident's daughter was called and informed as well as the local police. An officer came into the facility to take the resident's statement. The investigation into the missing ring was initiated on 2/17/23. An interview with the Administrator and the resident on 2/17/23, indicated the resident realized her ring was missing this morning around 4 or 4:30 a.m., when the CNAs came in her room to provide care. The resident had 3 rings on her finger and only 2 were present, as the outside band was missing. The resident indicated 2 to 3 weeks ago, while she was sleeping in her bed, she woke up abruptly to someone tugging on her finger. She pulled her hand back and saw a staff member kneeling on the side of her bed. The staff member indicated she was checking to see if she was wet. The resident thought the situation was weird, because normally staff turn on the light and announce themselves, but this time the lights were not on. The resident described the staff member as having blonde hair and was of medium build. The resident had informed her daughter about the incident but did not tell the facility staff. Another staff interview (no date), from CNA 3 indicated I was sitting in the nurses station and heard yelling from [Resident 50's] room. I walked in and another aide [CNA 1] was standing in front of her trying to calm her down. [Resident 50] then told me she felt someone pulling on her ring finger and there was a band missing. I asked her if she saw anything and she described a 'short tiny blonde girl', but could not see her face. [CNA 1] got very defensive and swearing it wasn't her. After that I left the room and told the nurse everything I heard and saw. A statement from the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/17/23, indicated [CNA 1] came into my office stating that [Resident 50] reported to her that her ring was missing. Per [CNA 1], her and [CNA 3] were in the room together when the resident reported the ring missing. [CNA 1] states they looked all over the room to see if they could locate the ring. The ring was not located and [CNA 1] states she told the resident to call the police. Follow up to the investigation, added on 2/24/23, indicated the investigation revealed that suspected aide provided care to resident multiple times the night prior to waking up and finding ring missing. Employee has not been cooperative with investigation and is not returning phone calls or text messages. Employee has been terminated. Follow up by Social Service has been done with resident and no signs of distress has been noted. Resident voices disappointment that ring is gone, but happy that employee is no longer working at the facility. Facility is still working with local police department as needed for additional information. Interview with the Administrator on 4/12/23 10:27 a.m., indicated on or around January 27, 2023 she was approached by a resident's daughter (who since had passed away) about a missing ring. The daughter was not sure the ring was even at the facility and thought that maybe one of her sisters might have taken it home with them. The daughter told the Administrator not to worry about it and she was going ask her siblings if they took her ring. A couple days later, the daughter came back to the facility to pay the remainder of the bill, and informed the Administrator she had spoken with her siblings and no one took her mother's ring, so she filed a police report on her own. On 2/17/23, CNA 1 informed the DON that Resident 50 had reported to her one of her rings was missing. At that time, CNA 1 was working midnights, so she reported the incident right before she left and her shift was over. Neither Resident 50 nor her daughter reported to her about someone tugging on her finger during the night. A Police Detective came to the facility and requested video tapes and other statements from the staff and copies of schedules. The detective indicated she could not find the CNA, however, the facility gave the detective the emergency file information and they located CNA 1 and were able to tell her to come to the police station for a statement.
