NP 1 stated that if she wrote something as a stat order, she expected it to be done within an hour or two. NP 1 stated that she did not receive any other phone calls from the facility regarding resident 46, nor was she notified that the ultrasound could not be performed on the weekend. NP 1 stated that if the resident did not stabilize or have a reduction in symptoms after receiving the Rocephin injections, then the facility should have sent the resident out to the hospital for further evaluation. NP 1 further stated, I would have expected a phone call back to know that so I could send him out or continue to monitor his symptoms. NP 1 stated that cholecystitis typically responded well to Rocephin. NP 1 stated that had she known about resident 46's ongoing symptoms after receiving the Rocephin, she would have sent him to the hospital no question because his condition has changed.

NP 1 stated that if she wrote something as a stat order, she expected it to be done within an hour or two. NP 1 stated that she did not receive any other phone calls from the facility regarding resident 46, nor was she notified that the ultrasound could not be performed on the weekend. NP 1 stated that if the resident did not stabilize or have a reduction in symptoms after receiving the Rocephin injections, then the facility should have sent the resident out to the hospital for further evaluation. NP 1 further stated, I would have expected a phone call back to know that so I could send him out or continue to monitor his symptoms. NP 1 stated that cholecystitis typically responded well to Rocephin. NP 1 stated that had she known about resident 46's ongoing symptoms after receiving the Rocephin, she would have sent him to the hospital no question because his condition has changed.

The facility Administrator stated that administration was responsible for making appointments that were placed in the appointment book and that it was a combined effort between administrative staff to get the appointments made. The facility Administrator stated that he did not know when the appointment request for an ortho consult had been placed into the appointment book, but, that the appointment for the ortho consult had not yet been made. The facility Administrator stated that he would look into the matter. On 10/16/19 at 2:10 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility Administrator. The facility Administrator stated that they had had a lot of changes in staffing and that training was the reason for not making the ortho appointment for resident 1. The facility Administrator stated that that was no excuse, because in the end, I am still the Administrator and it's my fault that the appointment had not been made. The facility Administrator stated that he was unaware that resident 1's x-ray showed a probable fracture. The facility Administrator stated that he had had the facility Ombudsman in several times to talk with him regarding resident 1's pain and the need for an appointment. On 10/16/19 at 2:31 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility Administrator.

The second request was made for the ortho consult on 10/4/19.) On 10/16/19 at 3:35 PM, an interview was conducted with resident 1. Resident 1 stated that after her fall, she had more pain and that the pain was sharp. Resident 1 stated that the pain was in her knees.

Resident 1 stated that she was having a difficult time walking and that she had pain in her knees whenever she walked. Resident 1 stated that her current pain level was 8 and that she in need of a pain pill. Resident 1 stated that the [MEDICATION NAME] will take the edge off but did not completely take away the pain in her knees. Resident 1 stated that the [MEDICATION NAME] worked a little better, but that the pain was still not completely gone when she would take the medication. On 10/16/19 at 3:40 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility Administrator. The facility Administrator stated that he did not think that resident 1 had been complaining of pain after the fall and that was the reason for the delay for an x-ray of her knees. On 10/16/19 at 4:00 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility Director of Nursing (DON). The facility DON stated that resident 1 had a difficult time expressing herself and did not remember to ask for medications, more particularly before her fall as she was in a fog and her psychiatrist changed her medications to [MEDICATION NAME] which helped her a lot. The facility DON stated that post fall, resident 1 was able to inform staff of her pain but would forget to ask for pain medication. The facility DON stated that if resident 1 had informed facility staff of her pain level, she would be given a pain medication. The facility DON stated that she had communicated weekly with resident 1's physician asking her to please see resident 1 because she was experiencing increased pain after the fall. The facility DON stated that she had communicated by text message with resident 1's physician on 8/13/19 and told her that she needed to see resident 1. The facility DON stated that she did not know why there was a delay in ordering an x-ray for resident 1 other than they talked with the Nurse Practitioner rather than with the physician. The facility DON stated that she had communicated again with resident 1's physician on 8/18/19 and documented that she had again asked for the physician to please see resident 1 related to the increased pain after the fall. The facility DON stated that resident 1's physician did see her and ordered for staff to ask resident about her pain and offer pain medications more frequently. The facility DON stated that resident 1 should have had the ortho consult appointment made sooner so that determinations could have been made regarding resident 1's patella fracture. (NOTE: Resident 1's [MEDICATION NAME] was added on 6/11/18 not in 2019 per the interview with the facility DON. Additionally, the facility DON was unable to produce any documentation that she had communicated with resident 1's physician prior to 8/18/19.) On 10/17/19 a telephone interview was conducted with the facility Ombudsman. The facility Ombudsman stated that on 8/6/19, the facility Administrator reported that resident 1 had been seen the her physician and that she had had an x-ray that was negative for a fracture. (NOTE: Resident 1's x-ray was not ordered until 8/30/19 and was positive for a Left Patella fracture.) The facility Ombudsman stated that they had visited with the facility Administrator 9 times to talk about resident 1's increased pain after her fall, including 8/6/19, 8/13/19, 8/30/19, 9/11/19 and 10/1/19. The facility Ombudsman stated that each time she was told that the appointment had not been made for resident 1 but that she was on pain medication and that he would make the the appointment for resident 1.

Inspection of October 28, 2015

3 findings
F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on interview, observation and record review it was determined that the facility failed to provide residents with adequate supervision to prevent accidents. (Residents 10, 12, 13, 19, 27, 32, 56). The deficient practice for residents 12, 13, and 32 was found to have occurred at an Immediate Jeopardy level. The deficient practice identified for residents 10, 19, 27, and 56 was found to have occurred at a potential for harm and will not be included in the Immediate Jeopardy. NOTICE: Notice of Immediate Jeopardy was given verbally to the Administrator on 10/21/15 at 3:30 PM. The Administrator was asked to develop an immediate plan to ensure residents' safety related to accident prevention. PLAN: On 10/23/15 at 2:50 PM, the Administrator provided the surveyor management with a written plan of action to remove the immediate jeopardy to residents in the facility. The written plan dated 10/23/15 stated the following: Mountain View Health Services, 5865 South Wasatch Drive, South Ogden, Utah . This correspondence is to serve as an allegation of the removal of immediate jeopardy at Mountain View Health Services. I allege the removal of immediate jeopardy as of October 23, 2015. The measure to remove immediate jeopardy was completed at 2:30 p.m. The following is an overview of the steps the facility has implemented regarding this issue. Policy regarding Wandering/ Elopement was revised and updated. Checklist and guide for steps to follow, has been updated. Post - elopement checklist has been updated. Each client residing at Mountain View, has received a wandering assessment. The assessment is the wandering assessment already located inside the facility's medical records software, Point Click Care. The assessment included a scoring mechanism, and has scored each client as low, moderate, and high risk for wondering. Each client was then scored on a separate piece of paper, with indications regarding need to proceed with care planning. This Wandering & Elopement Risk Evaluation form, has the point click care score noted, and the L.C.S.W. (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and the R. N. (Registered Nurse), then evaluated each client, and documented factors that may mitigate the risk of elopement, including history of exit seeking, mobility issues, etc. Each client--except for the few clients considered 'zero risk' then had their care plan reviewed and updated as necessary--this includes the ones considered low risk for elopement. These care plans will be reviewed and updated at the regularly scheduled, quarterly, care plan review date for the client. Low risk clients, who have cognitive impairment, also received a care plan, with specifics for treatment. Behaviors indicating preference such as ' likes to sit in front porch', with actions for staff to take, are indicated in the care plan. Low risk clients with minimal to no cognitive impairment, the focus is on education regarding leaving facility; client's responsibility to sign out properly prior to leaving, and communicating with care staff the intention to leave, prior to leaving; and how to report and sign -in upon return. The education piece is for all staff on identified risk clients, review of the care plans/ intervention, and steps to follow in helping prevent wandering, as well as to what steps to follow in case of wandering/elopement. As of today's date, the facility has met compliance with this issue. On 10/26/15 the surveyors confirmed the removal of the immediate jeopardy situation as of 10/23/15.

F323K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on interview, observation and medical record review it was determined that the facility failed to properly provide supervision to residents with known special needs, provide interventions for residents who have had falls which have resulted in significant injuries, and to secure physical hazards (razors) from residents who are at risk of using the hazard to harm themselves or others. (Residents 3, 7, 34, 35, and 57) The deficient practice identified for residents 34 and 35 was found to have occurred at an Immediate Jeopardy level, in addition to the unsecured razors found on the facility's Special Needs Unit. The deficient practice identified for residents 7 and 57 was found to have occurred at a harm level and will not be included in the Immediate Jeopardy. The deficient practice identified for resident 3 was found to have occurred at a potential for harm and will also not be included in the Immediate Jeopardy. Review of resident 35's closed and current medical records revealed that resident 35 experienced 11 documented cigarette burns over an 11 month period. The only documented intervention in the medical record was to encourage resident 35 to wear a "smoking apron." No documentation could be found to show facility staff provided additional supervision or interventions to prevent the cigarette burns. No documentation could be found to show facility staff assessed resident 35 for safe smoking or followed the facility's "Safe Smoking Policy" provided to survey staff. On 8/31/11 resident 35 was admitted to a local hospital and received treatment for [REDACTED]. Review of the medical record and incident report log revealed that resident 35 experienced 49 falls over a 12 month period. Resident 35 had 6 significant injuries that occurred during the falls including head lacerations, a skull fracture, a fractured clavicle, and displaced hardware in the clavicle. Facility staff did not implement effective interventions to prevent falls when resident 35 returned to the facility following the surgical repair of her right clavicle. Due to additional falls, the surgically placed hardware in resident 35's right clavicle became dislodged and the resident underwent [REDACTED]. Review of resident 34's closed and current medical records revealed that resident 34 experienced 6 documented cigarette burns over a 9 month period. The only documented intervention in the medical record was to encourage resident 34 to wear a "smoking apron". No documentation could be found to show facility staff provided additional supervision or interventions to prevent the cigarette burns. No documentation could be found to show facility staff assessed resident 34 for safe smoking or followed the facility's "Safe Smoking Policy." Review of the medical record and incident report log revealed that resident 34 experienced 35 falls over a 10 month period. Resident 34 experienced 4 significant injuries as a result of the falls. The injuries included head lacerations, an ankle fracture, a fibular fracture, and a clavicle fracture. No documentation could be found to show facility staff instituted additional interventions to prevent injuries from future falls, other than "increased supervision." Observations on 9/24/11, 9/25/11, 9/26/11, and 10/4/11 revealed unsecured new or used razors left in resident bathrooms on the secured unit. Many of the residents residing on the secured unit have confusion, delusions, impulsiveness, and physical aggression. Multiple staff members when interviewed stated that residents on the secured unit were to be assisted by staff when shaving and that the razors were to be discarded after a single use. The staff members stated that razors were not to be left unattended or unsecured in the secured unit because residents could harm themselves or others. Review of resident 7's current medical record revealed that resident 7 sustained an injury of unknown origin resulting in a fractured humerus. Facility staff assessed resident 7 as requiring full assistance with Activities of Daily Living and that resident 7 was unable to perform any transfers or daily cares without facility staff assistance. Facility staff obtained an x-ray of resident 7's arm and then waited two days to notify the physician of the results of the x-ray resulting in a delay of treatment of [REDACTED]. Review of resident 57's closed and current medical record revealed that resident 57 was identified as being at a risk for falls and sustaining falls. Facility staff implemented no interventions to prevent injuries from future falls. Review of the medical record revealed that resident 57 experienced a fall 5/30/11, facility staff did not report the fall or complete a facility incident report. On 6/2/11 facility staff assessed resident 57 as having difficulty with ambulation and acitivities of daily living and thus ordered an x-ray. The results of the x-ray revealed that resident 57 had sustained an acute Left hip fracture that required surgical intervention. Observations of resident 3 revealed facility staff had implemented side rails for resident 3 with a mattress that did not fit the bed frame. This placed resident 3 at a risk of becoming trapped between the side rails and the bed frame. No documentation could be found to show that facility staff assessed resident 3's bed for safety or resident 3 for safety with the side rails. NOTICE: Notice of immediate jeopardy was given verbally to the Administrator on 9/29/11 at 3:30 PM. The Administrator was asked to develop an immediate plan to ensure resident safety related to accidents and supervision to prevent accidents. PLAN: On 10/5/11 at 4:00 PM, the Administrator provided the surveyors with a written plan of action to remove the immediate jeopardy to residents in the facility. The written plan dated 10/5/11 at 4:00 PM stated the following: "Mountain View Health Services, 5865 South Wasatch Drive, South Ogden, UT Please accept this correspondence as my letter that Mountain View Health Services is alleging that the facility has abated the Immediate Jeopardy to resident health or safety as of October 5, 2011. . . Accident Hazards: Fall prevention: Facility has done a 100% review of all resident falls within the past 90 days. Fall risk assessments were updated for all residents who experienced a fall; care plans were updated with appropriate interventions noted. The facility will continue with 100% reviews of all falls, in periods of 90 days each, going back one full year. Falls policy has been reviewed and revised. A 'Post fall Procedures/Management' portion has been examined, reviewed, and revised. Note specific steps facility will take after a fall, in section B of this section, steps 1 thru 6. Incident reports continue to play an integral role in documenting falls, assessing resident, etc. and review of Incident Log will play a bigger part in care plan review. Another part of the falls policy, include assessment of the physical environment. The maintenance department has done 100% inspection of resident rooms- these are found on "Attachment F" under the falls category. A significant, systemic change in communication of care plan issues, has also been implemented. A 'C.N.A Communication Sheet', is placed inside each resident's bedroom closet. This 'point of care' sheet give information regarding SAFETY and other important issues, as a guide for the C.N.A's to follow. Safe smoking: Continuing under Accident Hazards, the "Safe Smoking" issue has been thoroughly examined. Facility reviewed and re-vamped the smoking policy itself. Based on the smoking policy, a 'Resident Smoking Safety Assessment' has been reviewed and revised. All resident who currently smoke, were re-assessed. Based upon those assessments, the next step was looking a (sic) specific smoking contacts (sic) with the residents. The revised smoking contracts-both for Supervised Smokers, and Unsupervised, were reviewed and discussed with all smoker, by Social Services, and residents signed new contracts. Also based on the Smoking Assessments, 'Tobacco Use Care Plans' were individualized and implemented. Social Services met with each Resident who smokes. She discussed issues regarding smoking safety, and each person sign the new contracts. In-service training was held for direct care staff, regarding smoking safety; smoking oversight; appropriate safety interventions; and other smoking-related issues. Facility implement (sic) 'smoking oversight' monitoring by department head managers, nurses and other non- C.N.A staff, to help in the assessment of safe smoking, and to help implement changes regarding smoking safety. On part of note, is that supervised smokers are now required to wear 'smoking aprons', for improved smoking safety. While nearly all residents have willingly agreed to wear the aprons, there are of course some who refuse to wear them. For those who refuse to wear them, the Care Plan Team will work with them to care plan safety issues, and help educate them on smoking safety. Razors: The issue regarding unattended, single-use razors used on the Special Needs Unit, 'Memory Lane', have been addressed in the following fashion. The first approach was not entirely successful. The approach included staff training and education regarding razor safety; walk-through inspections; discussions about locking cabinets and rooms where razors are kept; and so forth. The team then re-grouped and discussed the issue. It was decided to implement a more controlled-access to razors policy. For people living on Memory Lane, the direct care staff must now ask the Charge Nurse for a razor, and 'sign-out' each individual razor. The razor must then be signed back-in with the charge nurse, and disposed of at the sharps container at the nurse's cart. Daily inspections of Memory Lane will continue for the next 30 days, to help ensure compliance, and to monitor progress. Increased supervision The facility has implemented measures to help in the questions regarding increased supervision. They include: One of the identified residents, received hourly checks by BOTH the C.N.A, and the Charge Nurse. Staff was educated that increased supervision included checking on clients at risk, on a more frequent basis. The concept of increased supervision was also implemented in oversight on the supervised smoking program. The increased supervision in this particular area, has spawned additional training for staff on appropriate interventions to take to help smokers stay as safe as possible while they smoke. For example, even though a resident may be wearing a smoking apron, it may need to be repositioned while the resident is smoking. Prior to leaving the facility on 10/6/11, the surveyors confirmed the components outlined above in the written plan of action had been implemented. During the survey on 10/6/11 the surveyors confirmed removal of the immediate jeopardy situation as of 10/5/11. Deficient practice with actual harm and potential for more than minimal harm remained for the risk of injury. Findings Include: Immediate Jeopardy: A: Resident 35 Resident 35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 9/22/11 resident 35's current and closed medical record were reviewed. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) revealed an annual MDS assessment dated [DATE]. Facility staff assessed resident 35 as requiring extensive assistance with a one person physical assist with walking within the resident's room and walking in the corridor. Facility staff assessed resident 35 as requiring limited assistance with a one person physical assist with transfers, locomotion on and off the unit and personal hygiene. Resident 35 was assessed as being not steady and only able to stabilize with human assistance with moving from a seated to standing position, walking, turning around, moving on and off of the toilet, and surface to surface transfer (transfer between bed and chair or wheelchair). Facility staff assessed resident 35 as having 2 or more falls with no injury, two or more falls with an injury (skin tears, abrasions, lacerations, superficial bruises, hematomas, and sprains; or any fall-related injury that causes the resident to complain of pain), and one major injury from a fall during the assessment period. Facility staff indicated on the annual MDS that the Care Area Assessment (CAA) for falls and ADL (Activities of Daily Living) function triggered and would be addressed in a care plan. On 5/18/11 facility staff completed a quarterly MDS for resident 35. Facility staff assessed resident 35 as having burns (2nd or 3rd degree) during the assessment period. Resident 35 was also assessed as having two or more falls with no injuries, and two or more falls with injury but not a major injury. On 8/18/11 facility staff completed a significant change MDS assessment for resident 35. Resident 35 was assessed as requiring extensive assistance with a one person physical assist with walking in the room and corridor, locomotion on and off the unit, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. Facility staff assessed resident 35 as requiring limited assistance with a one person physical assist with transfers. Facility staff assessed resident 35 as being not steady, only able to stabilize with human assistance with moving from a seated to standing position, walking, turning around, moving on and off of the toilet, and surface to surface transfer. Resident 35 was assessed as having two or more falls with no injury, two or more falls with an injury and no major injury during the assessment period. Facility staff also documented that resident 35 had burns of a 2nd or 3rd degree nature. Review of resident 35's medical record revealed a fall risk assessment dated [DATE] with a score of 14, 6/29/10 with a score of 14, 3/4/11 with a score of 25, 5/20/11 with a score of 27 and 8/29/11 with a score of 30. According to the fall risk assessment used by the facility a score of 10 or higher indicated the resident was at a high risk for falls. No fall risk assessment score was completed for the readmission of resident 35 on 9/7/11. As of 9/22/11 the fall risk assessment score had not been completed for resident 35. Review of the care plan revealed a care plan for falls dated 6/24/10 and updated or signed as being updated on 9/17/10, 12/8/10 and 8/9/11. Facility staff documented that resident 35 had a history of [REDACTED]. ambulation ability to be a wheel chair. Staff documented that the goals for the problem area identified (falls) were; "pt. (patient) to remain injury free during facility stay, pt. to have no falls unreported to MD (Medical Doctor) during facility stay, staff and pt. to practice injury prevention measures for pt. during facility stay and to evaluate every monthly summary and every pt. IDT (Interdisciplinary Team Meeting)." The goals, to be accomplished by facility staff were, "maintaining a safe environment, keep room clutter free; clean spills, keep room well lit, call light in reach at all times- respond promptly, assist with all transfers, PT (Physical Therapy) to screen quarterly and prn (as needed), if fall occurs- ensure safety VS (vital signs), neuro checks, ROM (range of motion) assess for injuries, determine cause, report fall to MD and family, assess X 3 days and document after every fall with injuries until stable, encourage resident to wear helmet and to call for assistance, and remind resident to put helmet on." Review of the closed medical record revealed a Fall Risk Care plan dated 8/29/11. Facility staff documented that resident 35 had a history of [REDACTED]. The goal of the care plan was, "Pt. will receive adequate supervision and assistance every day to help prevent falls, evaluate every monthly summary and every IDT and resident refuses at times to wear helmet." Interventions to accomplish the goal were documented as follows: "assess current abilities and risk factors for potential falls, use adaptive/safety equipment as necessary and ordered, assess resident as needed to prevent falls, skilled or restorative therapies as ordered to increase ROM and maintain abilities, monitor and document changes in abilities or conditions which may lead to falls, keep environment clear of obstructions, floors dry, well lit, etc., assess resident to assist physician to determine cause: vital signs, appetite, recent relocation, possible hearing or vision losses, change in LOC ( Level of consciousness), medications, recent labs, call light accessible at all times when in room, Fall Risk Assessment quarterly, increase supervision PRN, and encourage pt. to wear helmet when up - assist with putting helmet on/off." On 9/22/11, when resident 35's current medical record was reviewed, no documentation could be found to show facility staff developed or implemented a care plan for resident 35's history of falls upon her readmission to the facility, on 9/7/11, after sustaining a fractured clavicle from a previous fall at the facility. On 9/22/11 the facility's "Resident Supervised Smoking Policy" was reviewed. According to the facility policy, dated 6/30/10, the purpose of the smoking policy was to "Regulate smoking procedure for comfort and safety of the residents." The facility also provided a copy of the "Independent & Unsupervised Smoking Policy." According to the policy, the facility "attempts to allow eligible individuals the right to smoke in an independent and unsupervised manner, IF they meet specific criteria. The criteria are based upon the Smoking Assessment and Associated Rules. People who do not meet the criteria are NOT eligible to smoke independently and fall under the guidelines of the Supervised Smoking Policy. ... The smoking assessment is completed by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), and is subject entirely to their approval. Smoking Assessment and Associated Rules: Resident has no behavior or condition (medical or otherwise) which negatively impacts the ability to safely smoke independently., Resident is taking no medications, or combination of medications, which impairs their ability to smoke safely in an unsupervised setting., Resident may not use oxygen anywhere near smoking area., Resident possesses appropriate manual dexterity to control smoking materials., resident can recite basic limitations of 'Supervised Smoking' criteria., Resident follows appropriate safety precautions regarding smoking., Resident agrees to not give smoking materials to any Resident in the Supervised Smoking program., Resident will smoke ONLY in the designated smoking area., Resident keeps personal smokes in a safe area. ..." At the bottom of the policy was a place for the resident's signature indicating that the resident had read the policy and agreed to the terms of the policy. According to the "Resident Supervised Smoking Policy", "CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) staff will supervise smoking; and are to remain with residents at all times during the supervised smoke break." At the bottom of the "Resident Supervised Smoking Policy" was a place for the resident's signature indicating that the resident had read the policy and agreed to the terms of the policy. No documentation could be found in resident 35's closed or current medical record to show that resident 35 was assessed for safe smoking by the IDT, signed the "Supervised Smoking Policy", or received a copy of the "Supervised Smoking Policy." On 11/6/10, facility staff documented on an incident report that facility aides were to use a smoking apron for resident 35 while she smoked. No other documentation could be found to show facility staff implemented other interventions regarding the cigarette burns resident 35 sustained. Review of the nurse's notes in the closed and current medical record revealed the following entries. Nurses Notes: a) 9/11/10: "Pt. in ice cream room, stood up and fell on bum. ...

F322J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility did not ensure that a resident received the necessary treatment and services to prevent aspiration pneumonia and/or vomiting. This failure created a situation of immediate jeopardy which had a potential for causing death or injury to a resident in the facility. Resident identifier: 17. NOTICE: Notice of immediate jeopardy was given verbally to the Administrator on 9/29/11 at 3:30 PM. The Administrator was asked to develop an immediate plan to ensure resident safety related to enteral feedings with appropriate assessments and positioning during feedings. PLAN: On 10/5/11 at 4:00 PM, the Administrator provided the surveyors with a written plan of action to remove the immediate jeopardy to residents in the facility. The written plan dated 10/5/11 at 4:00 PM stated the following: "Mountain View Health Services, 5865 South Wasatch Drive, South Ogden, UT Please accept this correspondence as my letter that Mountain View Health Services is alleging that the facility has abated the Immediate Jeopardy to resident health or safety as of October 5, 2011. . . Positioning during tube feedings, and assessment of aspiration The '[MEDICATION NAME]/Enteral Feeding Policy' was reviewed and revised, as was the 'Procedure' regarding such. In-service training was specific for the identified client -- the only client currently receiving enteral feedings. It included placement in a safe chair, wheelchair, recliner -- NOT in his bed. The training emphasized correct positioning. And because the client himself likes to 'scoot down' during feedings, the treatment plan for him is to receive 1:1 care throughout the feeding. Staff was trained to intervene, and help re-position him throughout the feeding. Because he usually receives 3 feedings per day, the facility has assessed and revised the staffing level on the nursing unit where he resides. The Hospice company that follows the identified resident, is also working with the facility in providing additional staffing to help with monitoring during his enteral feedings." Prior to leaving the facility on 10/6/11 the surveyors confirmed the components outlined above in the written plan of action had been implemented. During the survey on 10/6/11, the surveyors confirmed removal of the immediate jeopardy situation as of 10/5/11. Deficient practice with potential for more than minimal harm remained for the risk of injury. Findings include: Resident 17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Observations of resident 17 were made as follows: a) On 9/24/11 from 10:00 AM to approximately 12:00 PM resident 17 was observed in his bed, receiving an enteral feeding via a gastrostomy tube. The enteral feeding was infusing, via pump at 240 milliliters (ml) per hour. Resident 17 was observed to be in a low bed with a pillow placed between the bed mattress and bed frame. This pillow was used to raise the head of the bed. However, resident 17 had slid down in bed and was positioned so that his feet extended over the mattress and his stomach and torso were flat. (NOTE: resident 17 was not positioned at a 30 degree angle per the feeding tube care plan and hospice nurse education to facility staff.) b) On 9/25/11 from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM resident 17 was observed to be in his recliner, receiving an enteral feeding via a gastrostomy tube. The enteral feeding was infusing, via pump at 250 ml per hour. Resident 17 had slid down in his wheelchair and was positioned so that his stomach and torso were at an angle of less than 30 degrees. c) On 9/26/11 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM resident 17 was observed to be in his bed with his enteral feeding infusing. Resident 17 was observed to be in a low bed with a pillow placed between the bed mattress and bed frame. This pillow was used to raise the head of the bed. However, resident 17 had slid down in bed and was positioned so that his feet extended over the mattress and his stomach and torso were flat. (NOTE: resident 17 was not positioned at a 30 degree angle per the feeding tube care plan and hospice nurse education to facility staff.) d) On 9/27/11 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM resident 17 was observed to be in his bed with his enteral feeding infusing. Resident 17 was observed to be in a low bed with a pillow placed between the bed mattress and bed frame. This pillow was used to raise the head of the bed. However, resident 17 had slid down in bed and was positioned so that his feet extended over the mattress and his stomach and torso were flat. (NOTE: resident 17 was not positioned at a 30 degree angle per the feeding tube care plan and hospice nurse education to facility staff.) e) On 9/28/11 at 9:30 AM Registered Nurse (RN) 1 was observed to enter resident 17's room. Resident 17 was observed to be in a low bed with a pillow placed between the bed mattress and bed frame. This pillow was used to raise the head of the bed. However, resident 17 had slid down in bed and was positioned so that his feet extended over the mattress and his stomach and torso were flat. RN 1 initiated resident 17's enteral feeding, however, did not reposition the resident prior to initiating the feeding. Resident 17 was then observed to remain with his stomach and torso in a flat position until 11:40 AM. (NOTE: resident 17 was not positioned at a 30 degree angle per the feeding tube care plan and hospice nurse education to facility staff.) Resident 17's medical record was reviewed on 9/26/11. Resident 17's History and Physical from the hospital dated 6/13/11 documented that resident 17 had a history of [REDACTED]. The document further stated that resident 17 "has been a known aspiration risk for many months." Resident 17's History and Physical from the hospice company dated 6/30/11 documented that resident 17 had experienced "recurrrent episodes of aspiration pneumonia. The patient is now completely bed bound . . .in the last 6 months, the patient has had a very significant decline with greater than 5 aspiration pneumonias." Resident 17's admission physician orders [REDACTED].!" Resident 17's Activities of Daily Living Care Plan dated 6/28/11 documented that resident 17 required total dependence on staff for bed mobility and transfers. The care plan also documented that resident 17 needed to be checked for repositioning and safety during rounds and as needed. A "Feeding tube care plan" dated 7/11/11 documented that resident 17 was at "risk for aspiration". The care plan listed that facility staff should elevate the head of resident 17's bed at least 30 degrees during feeding to prevent aspiration. A physician's progress note dated 7/15/11 documented that resident 17's lungs were clear. Resident 17's Enteral Documentation Record signed by resident 17's physician for the month of September 2011 documented that resident 17 needed to have the head of his bed elevated 30 degrees during the administration of the tube feeding. Resident 17's nurses notes from facility staff and hospice documented the following: a) Facility - 7/28/11 - Resident 17 had dark emesis. (NOTE: No evidence could be found to show the facility staff notified the physician or provided interventions to prevent further episodes of emesis.) b) Hospice - 8/9/11 - Resident 17 was lying on the floor with his tube feeding infusing. The hospice nurse educated facility staff and spoke with the Director of Nursing (DON) concerning resident 17 being on the floor without the head of his bed being elevated while the feeding was infusing. The hospice nurse instructed staff to acquire a temperature and monitor resident 17's cough. c) Hospice - 8/16/11 - Resident 17's hospice nurse educated facility staff on keeping the head of resident 17's bed elevated while his tube feeding was infusing. d) Hospice - 8/29/11 - Resident 17 was showing signs and symptoms of aspiration. e) Facility - 9/1/11 - Resident 17 was found to be "making noise" by staff and had vomited. Resident 17 was noted to be coughing. Resident 17 was moved up into bed and placed at a 45 degree angle. Vitals signs were done and resident 17's oxygen saturations were at 54% on room air. Staff applied oxygen, per nasal cannula at 5 liters. The nurse documented that 30 minutes later, staff checked on resident 17 and found 150 ml of fluid "pooring (sic) out" of the resident spontaneously and by coughing. The nurse documented that resident 17 had experienced "possible aspiration" and that they contacted the family of resident 17 the next day to discuss placing resident 17 on antibiotics. No evidence could be found that facility staff provided interventions to prevent further episodes of coughing, emesis, or possible aspiration. f) Hospice - 9/6/11 - Resident 17 was lying in bed with the feeding infusing. g) Hospice - 9/8/11 - Resident 17 "appears to have no adverse effects from aspiration." h) Hospice - 9/12/11 - Resident 17 was lying in bed with the feeding infusing and was receiving antibiotics for signs and symptoms of aspiration. i) Facility - 9/14/11 - Resident 17 had experienced an episode of emesis and had possibly aspirated again. Facility staff subsequently held the tube feedings temporarily. j) Hospice - 9/19/11 - Resident 17 "has 'silent aspiration' likely from fdgs (feedings) being given while pt (patient) is lying down." k) Hospice - 9/27/11 - "aspirates on liquids, lungs have scattered rales". l) Facility - 9/29/11 - Resident 17 had experienced an episode of emesis. m) Facility - 9/30/11 - Resident 17 had experienced two episodes of emesis and had a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. n) Facility - 10/2/11 - Resident 17 had "coughed up" a dark colored substance and later a small dark chunk of blood.

Resident 40 further stated that he had "supervised " banking and had to spend his $4.75 in the facility vending machine. Resident 40 stated again that the Administrator was "out to get him" and that the money issue had him "tied in knots". On 10/4/11 at 11:15 AM, the facility AD was interviewed. The AD confirmed she had arranged a shopping trip with resident 40 last week as she was unable to take him shopping the previous week. She stated that the facility Administrator had stated that "now was not a good time" to take resident 40 shopping. The AD further stated that resident 40 was only allowed to access $4.75 on banking days and that she was required to supervise resident 40 spending the $4.75 in the facility vending machine. An interview was conducted with the AD at 1:00 pm on 10/4/11. The AD stated that resident 40 had approximately $500 in his personal funds account. The AD then stated that resident 40 had previously gone to the gas station to buy beer and was found passed out in the field by the police; the Administrator took away resident 40's spending privilege because of this incident. The AD stated that the administrator had "Power of Attorney" over resident 40's funds. The AD stated she would give resident 40 small amounts of money, usually $2 to-$4 so he could buy soda and food from the vending machine. The AD stated that she did not like to withhold money from the residents and once in a while she would take resident 40 to the store and pay for the items to be purchased. She would then have the resident sign a slip of paper that stated how much money was spent. The money was then deducted from resident 40's account. The facility business office manager was interviewed on 10/4/11 at 1:45 PM. She stated that she did not know of any resident that had a restricted spending plan and that no resident had been denied access to his/her personal funds account. An interview was conducted with the facility Administrator on 10/4/11 at 3:00 PM. The Administrator stated that resident 40 has had multiple admissions to the facility and had been followed by a county agency for management of his personal funds. The Administrator stated that when resident 40 was admitted to the facility, the resident had requested the facility to be his representative payee. The facility was aware of resident 40's prior behaviors and had requested the resident sign a spending plan arrangement, which resident 40 had refused to sign. The spending plan agreement for resident 40, dated 8/3/11, was reviewed and included the following items: 1. Facility will apply for payee. 2. Resident 40 will make written requests for purchases. 3. Resident 40 may make the purchases himself; at supervised facility provided shopping trips; however staff will write the checks for the purchases. 4. Withdrawals from the Resident Bank will be limited to $2.00 or less, with staff oversight of vending machine purchases. The Social Services Worker (SSW) and SSW consultant were interviewed at 11:20 AM on 10/5/11. They were asked if it was appropriate for a resident to be on a restricted spending plan or be denied access to his/her funds. They both replied that they would have "big concerns" if this were to occur. The SSW further stated that everyone should have access to his/her personal funds. The SSW then stated that she had no knowledge that resident 40 was on a restricted supervised spending plan, and that this should not have occurred. The SSW then stated that resident 40 should have had the right to access his money when he wanted and to spend it on what he would like. An additional interview was conducted with the Administrator on 10/5/11 at 11:40 AM. The Administrator stated that resident 40 would smoke, drink, and panhandle and was therefore a danger to himself with his spending. The Administrator admitted that resident 40 was currently on a spending plan. The Administrator described the plan as follows: Resident 40 was to make a list of what he wanted and have the list approved by the facility; the resident would go to the store accompanied by someone from the facility or have a facility employee pick up the items for him; and resident 40 could only have small amounts of money for supervised spending for the vending machine. The Administrator stated that resident 40 had requested to go shopping on 10/4/11, but was not allowed due to the Administrator not wanting the AD to leave the facility during the State Survey. The Administrator was asked if the resident wanted, for example, $20.00 to go to the movies on a Friday night would he be able to get the money? The Administrator stated the resident could, as long as he was supervised and the money went to the movies; otherwise he would not be given the money. The business office manager was interviewed again on 10/5/11 at 11:50 AM. The business office manager admitted that the facility currently monitored and supervised the spending of resident 40, as a condition of admission to the facility. The business office manager further stated that since resident 40 refused to sign the spending plan, the facility should not have admitted him.

Resident 35 was observed to move her head repeatedly back and forth, avoiding the spoon placed in front of her mouth. In addition, resident 35 was observed to push RN 1 away with her left arm. RN 1 then left resident 35's room. On 9/28/11 at 11:19 AM, RN 1 was observed to return to resident 35's room with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2. CNA 2 was observed to hold resident 35's head to prevent resident 35 from moving her head from side to side. RN 1 was then observed to forcefully place a spoonful of the medication in resident 35's mouth. As CNA 2 held resident 35's head still, resident 35 was observed to flail her left arm in what appeared to be an attempt to push RN 1 and CNA 2 away. CNA 2 was then observed to lower the head of the bed so that resident 35 was lying flat in her bed. CNA 2 was then observed to sit on the floor with her right side to resident 35. CNA 2 then leaned over and around resident 35's head, and held her head and shoulders to prevent her from moving side to side. As CNA 2 did this, resident 35 began to kick her legs, by lifting her legs 2 to 2 1/2 feet off of the mattress, and then dropping her legs on to the mattress. Resident 35 was observed to perform this action multiple times. RN 1 was observed to be kneeling on the right side of resident 35's bed with her left side to resident 35. RN 1 was observed to lean over resident 35's torso, and put her left arm and upper body across resident 35 to hold resident 35's arms down.

She wasn't intentionally trying to resist. She has a disease that causes jerking. . . She was thrashing around because she was in pain . . . She is capable of pushing us away. . . She taps us on the chest to tell us she is pushing away. Today she wasn't pushing me away. She was grabbing my arm to tell me hi. She wasn't forced in any way. It always takes two of us to give her her meds." On 9/28/11 at 4:19 PM an interview was conducted with RN 1 regarding the witnessed incident with resident 35 earlier that day. RN 1 stated that resident 35 "doesn't mean to, but she flails . . and is in constant movement. She can't control her movements at all. . . She will tell us no, but she wasn't telling us no today. She was saying 'ow'. . . Her eyes get wild if she's afraid and she gets panicky and she moves her head . . . She gets a fearful look on her face." RN 1 further stated that CNA 2 was "steadying her head and her shoulder so I could give her (resident 35) [MEDICATION NAME]." CNA 2 "had her hands on both shoulders to prevent lurching, but she was holding her softly because she was trying to help" resident 35. RN 1 stated that CNA 2 was holding resident 35 softly enough that she did not leave any bruises on resident 35. "When (resident 35) is resisting she is so strong. She will kick you with both feet." RN 1 then stated that "I always do that" referring to giving resident 35 her medicaions. RN further stated, "It looks bad but it's not."

Based on observation and medical record review it was determined, for one sample resident, that the facility did not provide the necessary care and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Specifically, facility staff placed a resident with known uncontrollable involuntary movements on mattresses on the floor, resulting in the resident receiving "rug burns" on portions of her body. In addition, facility staff waited four days to treat the "rug burns" the resident received while "flailing" on the floor. Resident identifier: 35. Findings include: Resident 35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 9/22/11 resident 35's current and closed medical record were reviewed. Review of the nurse's notes revealed the following entries made by facility nurses: a) "9/12/11 pt.

Based on interview, observation, and medical record review it was determined, for 3 sample residents, that the facility did not ensure that a resident who entered the facility without a pressure sore, did not develop a pressure sore unless the individual's clinical condition demonstrated that they were unavoidable. Specifically, three residents developed pressure sores within the facility with little or no intervention prior to the development of the pressure sore. Resident identifiers: 17, 57, and 74. Findings include: 1. Resident 17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 9/28/11 resident 17 was continuously observed from 8:00 AM through 11:40 AM. Resident 17 was observed to be lying in bed on his back. At no time during the observation did staff check resident 17's incontinence brief or attempt to reposition resident 17. In addition, resident 17 did not reposition himself. Resident 17's medical record was reviewed on 9/26/11. Resident 17's initial nursing assessment dated [DATE] documented that resident 17 did not have any red areas or pressure ulcers on his back, buttocks, or heels. Resident 17's Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] documented that resident 17 did not have any pressure ulcers on his body. Resident 17's Activities of Daily Living Care Plan dated 6/28/11 documented that resident 17 required total dependence on staff for bed mobility and transfers. The care plan also documented that resident 17 needed to be checked for repositioning and safety during rounds and as needed. Resident 17's Pressure Ulcer Risk Care Plan dated 7/11/11 documented that resident 17 was at risk for impaired skin integrity due to mechanical factors such as pressure and shearing, moisture, medications, and imbalanced nutritional state. The goal was for resident 17 not to have any avoidable alteration in skin integrity. Interventions included changing incontinence pads or briefs frequently, reposition as needed, encourage continued mobility as able, provide optimum nutrition as ordered, and assess patient's ability to change positions independently. Resident 17's Pressure Sore Risk assessment dated [DATE] documented that resident 17 was at high risk for developing pressure sores due to his slightly limited sensory perception, skin that was often moist, bedfast status, slightly limited mobility, probably inadequate nutrition, and moderate to maximum assistance in moving. Resident 17's Bowel and Bladder assessment dated [DATE] documented that resident 17 was "frequently incontinent" and was a "total assist" with cares. Resident 17's History and Physical dated 6/13/11 documented that resident 17 was at "high risk for skin breakdown".

The [MEDICATION NAME] skin was denuded and excoriated and was weeping serous drainage. The area was tender and painful for the Resident. The stool coming from the stoma was yellow liquid and the nurses and staff reported to me that the patient often rips his wafer and ostomy pouch off as well as his wound dressing. The wound is a slow healing post surgical wound, midline and adjacent to the [MEDICAL CONDITION] site. ...All the denuded skin on the R quadrant of the Residents abdomen was crusted. There was a precut wafer opening which was too large for the [MEDICAL CONDITION] stoma. The stoma was turned slightly downward. The wafer was a flat wafer and the stoma would be better fitted with a convex type wafer connecting to a belt which would hold the stoma in a better position for draining into the pouch. After crusting the skin, the wafer was placed but the stool had immediately dripped under the wafer and down the R side of his abdomen. Better fitting supplies will be obtained and applied as soon as can be obtained. If those size wafer/pouch set up works for the patient, more will be ordered for him. In the interim, the skin needs to be protected from the acidic stool; there, [MEDICATION NAME] was applied liberally and the stoma was covered with an adult brief cut into 1/3rds.

Ostomy supplies will be given to the nurse in a plastic bag for the week. (Resident 45) will receive enough supplies to place his [MEDICAL CONDITION] wafer and pouch on Tuesday (and) Friday. Procedure: 1. Clean and dry skin on R side around stoma; 2. [MEDICATION NAME] to the sticky side of the wafer after the [MEDICATION NAME] opening has been peeled back to size; 3. prepare ostomy site by spraying on skin barrier (no sting) then apply light film of stoma powder; 4. spray on another coat of no sting barrier and let dry; 6. apply the wafer to the stoma site making sure the opening of the stoma is pushed upward as you press barrier on; 7. Make sure the belt is attached to the ostomy pouch where the two tabs are, one on each side; 8. Apply stretch net to abdominal area; 9. apply [MEDICATION NAME] to any excoriated skin that is not covered by the ostomy wafer and pouch. If Resident pulls off his wafer and pouch between scheduled changes, follow the back up procedure: 1. clean the R abdominal area; 2. cover all skin with [MEDICATION NAME]; 3. cover stoma with an ABD pad, followed by a 1/2 diaper over the pad; 4. stretch net over abdominal area to hold dressing in place; 5.

Reference: Removing And Applying The [MEDICAL CONDITION] Appliance: Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 10th Edition, Suzanne C. Smeltzer and Brenda Bare, Chapter 38, Pg. 1062-1063: "...Care of the [MEDICATION NAME] skin is an ongoing concern because excoriation or ulceration can develop quickly. The presence of such irritation makes adhering the ostomy appliance difficult, and adhering the ostomy appliance to irritated skin can worsen the skin condition. The effluent discharge and the degree to which it is irritating vary with the type of ostomy. With a [MEDICATION NAME], the stool is soft and mushy and irritating to the skin. With a descending or sigmoid [MEDICAL CONDITION], the stool is fairly solid and less irritating to the skin. Other skin problems include yeast infections and allergic [MEDICAL CONDITION]. If the patient wants to bathe or shower before putting on a clean appliance, [MEDICATION NAME] tape applied to the sides of the pouch will keep it secure during bathing. Then remove the appliance, the patient assumes a comfortable sitting or standing position and gently pushes the skin down from the faceplate while pulling the pouch up and away from the stoma. Gentle pressure prevents the skin from being traumatized and any liquid fecal contents from spilling out. The nurse advises the patient to protect the [MEDICATION NAME] skin by then washing the area gently with a moist, soft cloth and a mild soap. Soap acts as a mild abrasive agent to remove enzyme residue from fecal spillage. The patient should remove any excess skin barrier. While the skin is being cleansed, a gauze dressing can cover the stoma, or a vaginal tampon can be inserted gently to absorb excess drainage. After cleansing, the patient pats the skin completely dry with a gauze pad, taking care not to rub the area. The patient can lightly dust [MEDICATION NAME] ([MEDICATION NAME]) powder on the [MEDICATION NAME] skin if irritation or yeast growth is present. Smoothly applying the drainage appliance for a secure fit requires practice and a well-fitting appliance. Patients can choose from a wide variety of appliances, depending on their individual needs. The stoma is measured to determine the correct size for the pouch; the pouch opening should be about 0.3 cm (1/8 in (inch)) larger than the stoma. After the skin is cleansed according to the previously described procedure, the patient applies the [MEDICATION NAME] skin barrier (ie, wafer, paste, or powder). Mild skin irritation may require dusting the skin with [MEDICATION NAME] or [MEDICATION NAME] powder before attaching the pouch. The patient removes the backing from the adherent surface of the appliances, and places the bag down over the stoma for 30 seconds. The patient empties or changes the drainage appliance when it is one-third to one-fourth full so that the weight of its contents does not cause the appliance to separate from the adhesive disk and spill the contents. Most appliances are disposable . . .; commercially prepared deodorizers are available..." On 9/22/11 at 7:45 AM, resident 45 was observed to be laying on his right side in bed. Resident 45 was observed to have several soaked bandages over the [MEDICAL CONDITION] site with yellowish stool running down the residents lower abdominal area onto the bed linens. The skin surrounding the [MEDICAL CONDITION] appeared to be beefy red. Resident 45 stated that the skin on his abdomen was tender. On 9/22/11 at 10:30 AM, resident 45 was observed to be laying in bed. He appeared to have a clean, thick bandage over the abdominal area with paper tape over the entire surface. On 9/22/11 at 7:57 AM, CNA 8 was interviewed. CNA 8 stated that resident 45 pulled off the [MEDICAL CONDITION] bag and wafer. She stated that she was instructed to put a brief on him after he pulls off the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies and then notify the nurse. On 9/22/11 at 8:04 AM, RN 2 was interviewed. RN 2 stated that resident 45 ripped off the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies and that he was "going through the bags". She stated that it was hard to keep a bag on him. On 9/22/11 at 8:10 AM, RN 4 was interviewed. RN 4 stated that she tried to put a wafer and [MEDICAL CONDITION] bag on resident 45 but that resident 45 pulled the supplies off. She stated that when the resident pulled off the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies she applied a barrier cream and an ABD Pad. She stated that the ABD pad was to be changed every 1-2 hours and that his skin was "very raw". On 9/22/11 at 10:45 AM, RN 4 was re-interviewed. RN 4 stated that she had applied "Bag Balm" to the excoriated area on resident 45's abdominal area instead of the ordered [MEDICATION NAME] as they were "the same". RN 4 stated that resident 45 was on a behavior modification program because he "rips the bags off". She stated that the facility DON provided the nursing staff with enough [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies to last for a week. RN 4 stated that the facility was currently out of the "netting". On 9/22/11 at 11:00 AM, the facility DON was interviewed. The DON stated that resident 45 was on a "behavior modification program" related to the [MEDICAL CONDITION] bags and that the resident pulled off the wafers. She stated that the resident was "allowed 2 changes a week - maybe 3" if she thought that it was appropriate. She stated that if she did not monitor the wafers and the bags, that the resident would run out of supplies. The DON stated that the current order was to apply [MEDICATION NAME] to the excoriated area on the abdomen as it had "healing properties", and apply an ABD pad with a brief over the ABD pad when resident 45 removed the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies. The DON stated that the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies were stored in her office and that she provided the nursing staff with enough supplies to last a week. The DON stated that her office was locked when she was not at the facility and that the nursing staff did not have access to her office when she was gone. On 9/22/11 at 1:43 PM, the facility Administrator was interviewed. The Administrator stated that the "DON misspoke" when she reported to the State that resident 45 was on a "behavior modification schedule". He stated that resident 45 was on a "medical management" program, not "behavior modification". On 9/22/11 at 2:20 PM, the facility DON was re-interviewed. The DON stated that resident 45 was on "medical management" program due to not leaving the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies in place. She stated that the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies were "very expensive." The DON stated that she was not aware that the facility nurses were using bag balm to treat the excoriated area instead of the ordered [MEDICATION NAME]. On 9/28/11 at 9:48 AM, CNA 2 was interviewed. CNA 2 stated that resident 45 was "not fully there" and was unable to determine right from wrong. She stated that she was told by facility administration that the facility was "unable to buy the bags and wafers". She stated that she was instructed by the DON to put a brief over the resident's [MEDICAL CONDITION] site when he pulled the [MEDICAL CONDITION] supplies off. She stated that she felt that resident 45 was "being punished" and that she "doesn't feel it's right to punish someone that way". A confidential staff interview was conducted after the recertification survey was initiated on 9/26/11. The staff member

F412G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview, observation, and medical record review it was determined for 3 sample residents, that the facility did not provide or obtain from an outside resource routine dental services to meet the needs of each resident. Specifically, residents with visible dental issues were not afforded the opprotunity for dental care due to their payor source being Medicaid. Resident identifiers: 40, 43, and 66. Findings Include: 1. Resident 66 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 10/3/11 resident 66's medical record was reviewed. On 6/3/11 facility staff completed an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for resident 66. Facility staff assessed resident 66 as receiving a mechanically altered diet. Resident 66 was assessed as having obvious or likely cavity or broken natural teeth. The Care Area Assessment (CAA) for Dental Care was triggered on the MDS and facility staff indicated on the CAA that Dental Care would be addressed in the care plan. Review of the medical record revealed a quarterly MDS dated [DATE]. Facility staff assessed resident 66 as not having a 5% weight loss in the last month, or a 10% weight loss in the last 6 months. Resident 66 was assessed as receiving a mechanically altered diet and a therapeutic diet. Facility staff assessed resident 66 as having mouth or facial pain, discomfort or difficulty with chewing. Review of the admission assessment revealed that facility staff assessed resident 66 as having "poor-broken and worn down teeth" upon admission to the facility. Review of resident 66's care plan revealed a care plan dated 6/6/11 for "At nutritional risk r/t (related to) pt. (patient) has stage II pressure ulcer." The goal for the care plan was resident 66 would receive adequate amounts of nutrition to maintain resident's needs through next review. Facility staff listed the following interventions to accomplish the indicated goal: "meds (medications) as ordered, assess causative factors, provide interventions as ordered to address causative factors, offer additonal snacks/fluids as ordered, staff will assist resident as needed to eat meals/snacks, assess resident's acceptance of foods offered, monitor labs and weights as ordered, notify MD (Medical Doctor) for any abnormal findings or inability of resident to maintain adequate nutritional intake/balance, review in weekly NAR (Nutritional At Risk), diet as ordered, honor food preferences within therapeutic needs, oral care q (every) shift." Resident 66's medical record also contained a care plan for dental care dated 6/6/11. Facility staff care planned resident 66 as having poor dentition related to dietary habits, ineffective oral hygiene manifested by worn down or abraded teeth, tooth fractures, and missing teeth. The goals listed on the care plan were "pt. will have no further tooth loss unless unavoidable through next review, pt. will receive adequate nutritional and fluid intake (manifested by weight) through next review and evaluate every monthly summary and every IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting." Facility staff listed the following interventions to achieve the stated goal: "assist with or provide oral care as indicated, administer [MEDICATION NAME] antibiotic therapy prior to dental procedures, weight as ordered, diet as ordered and tolerated, refer to appropriate care providers as ordered." Review of nurse's notes revealed an entry dated 8/30/11. A facility nurse documented, ..."Res. (resident) has had a slow weight loss and her teeth are bothering her. Res has a mech (mechanical) soft diet and says her teeth are partly why she doesn't eat well...." On 9/14/11 a facility nurse documented, "... on assessment pt has broken and missing teeth, she states that they bother her at times. ..." No documentation could be found to show facility staff notified the MD regarding any abnormal findings or inability of resident 66 to maintain adequate nutritional intake. Review of social service notes revealed no documentation regarding resident 66's dental status or appointments made for resident 66 to see a dentist. Review of resident 66's weight history revelaed an admission weight of 126 pounds (lbs). Review of the facility weight documentation revealed that in July of 2011 facility staff documented resident 66 weighed 126 lbs. In September of 2011 facility staff documented that resident 66 weighed 118 lbs. On 10/3/11 resident 66 was observed to be weighed by the Director of Nursing. Resident 66 was observed to weigh 114 lbs. Calculations revealed that resident 66 had lost 9.5% body weight in a 3 month time period. On 10/3/11 at 9:30 AM, resident 66 was interviewed regarding her dentition. Resident 66 stated that she was told by a dentist at one time that she needed dentures. Resident 66 stated that she had not seen a dentist since being at the facility. Resident 66 further stated that her teeth hurt when she was given hard things to eat, but if the foods were soft she could chew them "okay". Resident 66 stated that she had not had any dental work done due to the cost. Resident 66 further stated that if the facility paid for it she would have dental work done or her teeth pulled. On 10/5/11 at 10:35 AM, the SSW (Social Services Worker) was interviewed. The SSW stated that there were resources that the Transport worker knew about to get dental assistance for residents without funding. The SSW further stated that she did not get involved with dental concerns. On 10/3/11 at 9:45 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) 3 was interviewed. RN 3 stated that if she assessed a resident as having problems with their teeth she would let the medical director know and the medical director would then make a referral for the resident to see a dentist. RN 3 further stated that if the resident had medicaid as a payor source then the referrals were not made because medicaid would not cover dental expenses. RN 3 stated that because resident 66 had medicaid she did not inform the medical director of resident 66's poor dentition. RN 3 stated that resident 66 did not have the money to pay for the dental care and her payor source was medicaid. RN 3 further stated that "it would not have done any good to inform the medical director" of the bad dentition due to resident 66's payor source. RN 3 stated that she wished the facility would "hurry and get an in-house dentist to see patients and provide dental services." 2. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident 43 was interviewed on 9/27/11. It was observed during the interview that the resident had several areas of decay on his lower teeth near the gum line. Resident 43's gums were observed to be inflamed, with food and a build up of tartar present on his teeth. Resident 43's medical record was reviewed on 10/3/11. The Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed in section L that the resident had broken teeth, cavities, and inflamed gums. The CAA summary indicated the area of dental care triggered and the issue would be addressed in a plan of care. Further review of resident 43's medical record revealed no evidence of a dental plan of care. Nursing could not provide evidence that a dental care plan existed for resident 43. Nursing notes dated 9/22/11 and 9/29/11 documented that resident 43 required total assistance with activities of daily living (ADL), including oral hygiene. CNA 3 and CNA 8 were interviewed on 10/4/11 at 3:00 PM. CNA 3 and CNA 8 both stated that resident 43 required 2 staff members to assist resident 43 with his ADL's related to his behaviors. When asked what assistance resident 43 required, CNA 3 and CNA 8 stated they would assist him to brush his teeth each day by placing toothpaste on his toothbrush and monitor him while he was brushing his teeth to ensure he cleaned them. Both CNAs stated that they had not noticed that resident 43 had inflamed gums. On 10/4/11 at 10:15 AM an interview was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 stated that if a resident had dental problems staff would inform the medical records director (MRD) or the Social Services Worker (SSW). RN 2 further stated that the MRD or SSW would make an appointment with a dentist or with the free clinic that provided low/no cost care to persons in need. RN 2 then stated that she did not know if resident 43 had seen a dentist. On 10/5/11 at 2:00 PM an interview was conducted with the SSW. The SSW stated she was not aware of any dental issues with resident 43. The SSW then stated, "No one should have to deal with rotting teeth even if they don't complain of pain." 3.

Resident 40's medical record contained a care plan for dental care dated 8/16/11. Facility staff care planned resident 40 as having impaired dentition related to chronic use of tobacco, coffee tea or red wine, ineffective oral hygiene and barriers to self care manifested by worn down or abraded teeth, tooth fractures, and missing teeth. The goals listed on the care plan were: "pt. will receive adequate nutritional and fluid intake (manifested by weight) through next review and evaluate every monthly summary and every IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting." Facility staff listed the following interventions to achieve the stated goal: "assist with or provide oral care, as indicated, administer [MEDICATION NAME] antibiotic therapy prior to dental procedures, weight as ordered, diet as ordered and tolerated, refer to appropriate care providers as ordered." On 10/5/11 at 10:35 AM, the facility SSW was interviewed. The SSW stated that she did not get involved with residents that required dental assistance as the MRD did all of that. The SSW further stated that there were resources that the MRD knew regarding funding to assist residents without dental funding. On 10/5/11 at 10:40 AM, the MRD was interviewed. The MRD stated that she had not been notified by the nursing staff that resident 40 had complained of tooth pain and had requested to see a dentist. Review of the medical record revealed no documentation that the facility referred resident 40 to a dentist or that resident 40 was seen by the medical director for his teeth. No documentation could be found to show facility staff implemented the care plan and referred resident 40 to appropriate care providers for his teeth.
