Based on interview and record review the facility failed to prevent an avoidable fall related to fall safety for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#1) reviewed for accidents. Resident 1 fell out of bed and sustained a right shoulder fracture. Findings include: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 7/2024 with diagnoses including quadriplegia (paralysis that affects all a person's limbs and body from the neck down) and a Stage 4 (full thickness skin loss) pressure injury. The Admission MDS dated [DATE], revealed Resident 1 was cognitively intact. A care plan dated 7/25/24, revealed Resident 1 was limited in performing ADLs and was encouraged to perform as much of her/his ADLs as their condition allowed. Staff were to follow the most recent instructions and posted wall signs for mobility, transfers, exercises, and restorative programs. A revision on 7/27/24, revealed Resident 1 had half siderails on both sides of her/his bed to assist with repositioning and bed mobility. Two undated bedside care plans revealed the resident required the assistance of one or two people to roll from side to side in bed and required the assistance of two-people for scooting and repositioning. The resident had a Foley catheter and was incontinent of bowel. A Fall Investigation dated 8/22/24 revealed the following: -Staff 6 (Agency CNA) had multiple interactions with Resident 1 throughout her shift on 8/17/24 and followed the care plan. However, when she recognized the resident's positioning was possibly unsafe, she did not request a second staff person to assist with repositioning the resident prior to providing incontinent care. This created additional risk, contributing to Resident 1's fall. Staff 6 acknowledged Resident 1's positioning in bed led to her/his fall. -Resident 1 stated Staff 6 was going to provide cares and she/he was supposed to roll to the left side. Resident 1 indicated she/he was close to the edge of the mattress and the CNA pushed me too far over. When Staff 6 realized she/he was too close to the edge of the mattress, Resident 1 fell off the bed. -Staff 2 (DNS) determined and indicated Staff 6 recognized the potential safety issue with Resident 1's positioning but did not seek peer assistance. While this was a safety risk that led to an injury, it was not a willful infliction of injury or failure to provide a necessary service. However, the fall was an avoidable situation. On 9/16/24 at 5:18 PM, Resident 1 stated on 8/17/24, Staff 6 was going to provide care and had her/him too close to the edge of the bed, causing her/him to fall out of the bed. Resident 1 stated her/his right arm caught in the bed railing, resulting in a fractured right shoulder. Resident 1 stated she/he was a quadriplegia and needed assistance with cares and most of the time two staff would assist her/him with repositioning and care. On 9/17/24 at 1:43 PM Staff 8 (Physical Therapist) stated Resident 1 was able to use her/his arms and required one staff person to assist with rolling in bed but required two staff to reposition her/him in bed. Staff 8 stated the resident had a care plan in her/his room and pictures on the wall to ensure staff assisted the resident appropriately. On 9/18/24 at 9:58 AM, Staff 6 stated she worked on 8/17/24 which was her first time working at the facility. Staff 6 stated she received a report from a male nurse who indicated Resident 1 required one-person assistance for all her/his ADL care needs. Staff 6 stated she did not review or have access to the care plan. Staff 6 stated she did not know where the bedside care plan was located for Resident 1. Staff 6 stated she interacted with Resident 1 throughout the shift because the resident used her/his call light often. Staff 6 stated the resident was close to the edge of the bed but indicated the resident refused to be repositioned prior to providing incontinence care. Staff 6 stated when she went to gather supplies in the room for incontinent care, Resident 1 slid out of bed but did not fall. Staff 6 stated Resident 1's right arm was stuck in the side rail. Staff 6 stated she called for assistance, and a nurse entered the room to assess and help get the resident back into bed. Staff 6 further stated the resident did not report any pain or discomfort in the right shoulder. On 9/18/24 at 2:14 PM, Staff 3 (Agency RN) stated on 8/17/24, Staff 6 alerted her that Resident 1 was too close to the edge of the bed and had slid out of bed, legs first. Staff 3 stated when she entered the room, the resident was holding onto the side rail with her/his right arm and said, get me up. Staff 3 stated she assessed the resident, who was able to move both her/his arms and denied any pain to her/his right arm or shoulder area. Staff 3 stated the resident was put back into bed. On 9/18/24 at 2:27 PM, Staff 4 (LPN) stated she was aware Resident 1 fell out of bed on 8/17/24, and her/his right arm was caught in the bed rail, but the resident did not complain of any pain to the right shoulder until 8/20/24, which an X-ray was ordered. However, the resident was out to an appointment when the technician arrived on 8/20/24. Staff 4 stated Resident 1 was sent out to the hospital on 8/21/24, due to a critical lab result, and an X-ray of the right shoulder was obtained and revealed a fractured right shoulder. On 9/19/24 at 10:40 AM Staff 2 stated she completed the investigation regarding Resident 1's fall out of bed on 8/17/24. Staff 2 confirmed Resident 1 was too close to the edge of the bed, causing the resident to fall and fracture her/his right shoulder. Staff 2 stated the fall was avoidable. Staff 2 stated during shift change, she expected CNAs to have a peer-to-peer report, review the care plan and communicate with the nurses regarding care needs for all residents.

F686D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to identify and reflect risk factors in the care plan related to pressure ulcers for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#2) reviewed for pressure ulcers. This placed residents at risk for pressure injuries and skin breakdown. Findings include: Resident 2 admitted to the facility in 8/2023 with diagnoses including a colostomy (redirects the colon to an opening in the abdominal wall, called a stoma, which is attached to a colostomy bag to collect bowel movements) and cellulitis of the abdomen. The Admission MDS dated [DATE], revealed Resident 2 was cognitively intact. A care plan dated 8/8/23, revealed Resident 2 had a colostomy, impaired skin integrity, a wound around the stoma, nonhealing skin graft to the buttocks, and history of pressure injury. Staff were to monitor the ostomy appliance and belt for moisture and tightness twice daily, encourage the resident to loosen her/his belt when lying down, and monitor for signs and symptoms of infection. The care plan did not identify Resident 2 had a history of skin breakdown from the ostomy belt or that Resident 2 refused ADL and ostomy cares. A review of Resident 2's clinical record from 7/1/24 through 9/19/24, revealed the resident refused ADL care and ostomy care, but no evidence was found a risk verses benefit form was completed. A 7/24/24 Facility Reported Incident revealed the following: -Resident 2 had a Stage 3 (full thickness loss of skin that exposes subcutaneous fat) pressure injury from her/his ostomy belt. The wound was measured, cleansed, and treatment orders were put into place. -Resident 2 had a pattern and long history of refusals, poor hygiene, and poor safety insight. Resident 2's care was mostly independent. -Resident 2 was seen at the wound clinic on 7/17/24, with no identified skin issues. The wound potentially developed between 7/17/24 and 7/24/24. -Staff 10 (LPN), Staff 9 (Agency RN), and Staff 11 (RN) all indicated they worked with Resident 2 prior to and upon discovery of the wound, and Resident 2 refused ostomy changes and skin assessments. Staff 10 indicated Resident 2 refused more care than she/he allowed. -It was determined due to Resident 2's wound history, medical background, refusals of care, wound care clinic visits and interviews, neglect was not substantiated. On 9/17/24 at 11:01 AM and 2:26 PM, Resident 2 stated she/he had her/his ostomy bag for [AGE] years and I know how to change it. Resident 2 stated she/he allowed staff to change her/his ostomy bag at times but changed the ostomy bag on her/his own. Resident 2 stated when staff came to change or look at her/his ostomy bag, it was not always a convenient time because she/he was in the middle of watching a movie. Resident 2 stated she/he had a sore from the ostomy belt but had not worn the belt since the wound was discovered. On 9/17/24 at 11:17 AM, Staff 14 (CNA) and Staff 15 (CNA) and at 12:08 PM, Staff 13 (CNA) stated Resident 2 was alert and oriented, hard of hearing, and became anxious easily. Staff 14 and Staff 15 stated Resident 2 refused care, including changing her/his soiled clothing or removing her/his ostomy belt for showers. Staff 14 and Staff 15 stated the resident had a history of skin breakdown under and around the ostomy belt due its tightness around Resident 2's waist and the resident's refusal of care. Staff 14, Staff 15, and Staff 13 stated they did not recall seeing any wounds around the resident's ostomy belt when assisting with ADL cares. On 9/18/24 at 10:41 AM Staff 9 stated Resident 2 was particular with her/his colostomy care and staff were to place pads under the ostomy belt to reduce friction and sheering of the skin, although this was not always successful. Staff 9 stated when attempting to assess or change the colostomy bag the resident would refuse, say it was fine, ask Staff 9 to come back later because she/he was watching a movie. Staff 9 stated they educated the resident but was unsure if the resident had completed a risk verses benefit form due to Resident 2's refusals. On 9/18/24 at 11:52 AM, Staff 10 stated Resident 2 admitted with a history of skin breakdown around the ostomy belt, a history of non-compliance related to her/his ostomy care, and refusal to allow staff to assess or change her/his ostomy belt and ostomy bag. This resulted in the ostomy bag leaking, causing bowel movements to run underneath the resident's ostomy belt. Staff 10 stated the resident was seen regularly at the wound clinic for her/his ostomy care and skin breakdown. Staff 10 stated after the wound was found, the resident no longer used the ostomy belt and new orders were received from the wound clinic. An observation on 9/18/24 at 1:16 PM revealed Resident 2's right hip wound was completely healed, with no open areas observed. However, the resident's skin was red, dry, and flaky. Resident 2's ostomy bag was in place, without an ostomy belt and the resident indicated her/his skin felt much better. On 9/19/24 at 9:50 AM Staff 11 stated Resident 2 was non-compliant with her/his ostomy care. Staff 11 stated a CNA alerted her on 7/27/24 about a wound on the resident's right hip caused by the ostomy belt. Staff 11 stated the ostomy belt was digging into the resident's skin and the wound was deep. Staff 11 stated she cleansed the wound, orders were initiated, and Staff 2 (DNS) was informed of the incident. Staff 11 stated she could not speak to a risk verses benefit form. On 9/19/24 at 11:11 AM, Staff 2 stated she was informed and visualized the wound on 7/27/24. Staff 2 stated the resident was non-complaint with her/his ostomy care and the ostomy belt was a false sense of security for the resident. Staff 2 stated CNA staff were expected to do a full head to toe assessment when providing ADL care two times daily and report any skin breakdown to the nurses.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure pressure injury wounds were appropriately assessed, monitored and treated for [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . This placed residents at risk for inaccurate wound assessments and worsening wounds. Resident 18 had a coccyx wound that worsened from Stage 2 to Stage 4. Findings include: 1. Resident 18 was admitted to the facility in 2/2022 with diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The 2/25/22 initial assessment of Resident 18's Stage 2 sacral pressure injury indicated the wound was 1.2 cm in length and 0.6 cm in width, with epithelial tissue (thin protective layer), well-defined edges, no drainage, no odor and the skin surrounding the wound was dark purple or rusty discoloration. The assessment identified the wound as stable and present on admit with the surrounding skin blanchable (becomes lighter when pressed). The family indicated the wound was much more open and has been healing. The wound was covered with Allevyn (foam) dressing for protection. A photo provided by the facility of the area, from 2/25/22, showed an area of deep red to purple with a defined darker area in the center over the resident's coccyx. The wound appeared to have a shallow open area in the center, although there was also a deep purple area within the border. The facility classified the wound as a Stage 2 pressure ulcer. However, the appearance of the wound, including the area surrounding the center in the photo was consistent with a description of Deep Tissue Pressure Injury (DTPI): Persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or purple discoloration over intact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration due to damage of underlying soft tissue. The wound may evolve rapidly to reveal the actual extent of the pressure injury. The resident's 2/25/22 Care Plan revealed the following information regarding her/his pressure ulcer: The resident had impaired skin integrity related to Stage 2 pressure injuries (on heels) and unstageable-S4 on her/his coccyx/sacrum; care approaches include: wound care to coccyx per current orders, ensure her/his special mattress was operational, regular diet per SLP services, general mulitivitamin with minerals and vitamin C for healing, supplements including Boost mixed with ice cream to help with providing extra protein for healing, minimize layers between her/his skin/wounds and mattress, assist her/him to reposition frequently and float heels while in bed. Will need to help reposition the bed or devices as well so she/h can see her/his tablet/TV and reach her/his call light straw with her/his lips and alert the nurse of any skin changes. The following wound care orders for Resident 18's sacral/coccyx wound were located in her/his medical record: -2/25/22 discharge orders from the physician at the hospital: Use liquid/spray skin protectant, cover with foam dressing, adhesive, change every two days or PRN if soiled. -2/25/22, Staff 38 (Medical Director): Change Allevyn dressing to coccyx two times per week and PRN. There was no documentation in the medical record to indicate the wound care orders were reviewed to determine which one was appropriate. Resident 18's MARs revealed wound care was provided to her/his coccyx two times a week from 2/27/22 through 3/15/22. On 3/18/22 Staff 38 discontinued the Allevyn dressing and provided new orders to apply moisture barrier cream to the coccyx every shift and ensure the resident was turned and off-loaded from her/his coccyx. A 3/18/22 Wound Management Detail Report indicated the wound measured 1.2 cm in length and 0.7 cm in width, had light exudate (drainage) and granulation tissue (healing) and was noted to be improving. On 3/27/22 the wound status was documented as 2.8 cm in length and 0.3 cm in width, declining, larger in size and open more than before. On 4/7/22 the hospital physician provided new wound orders for the resident's sacrum: Use liquid/spray skin protectant and cover with foam dressing, adhesive and change every two days. Special instructions included to wake the resident to do the dressing. There was no documented evidence the 4/7/22 orders were implemented on the 4/2022 MAR. The previous orders from Staff 38 on 3/18/22 were continued through 4/15/22 when Resident 18 was admitted to the hospital. Resident 18 was discharged from the hospital on 4/18/22 with wound care information and orders completed by the wound/ostomy RN: -Wound Assessment: Sacrum: 4 cm by 3 cm by 1 cm, Stage 3 (Full-thickness loss of skin, in which adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer and granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by location; Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone is not exposed. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss this is an Unstageable Pressure Injury.) pressure injury; community acquired. Surrounding skin indicates the wound started as a deep tissue injury and has now demarcated (formed defined edges) to reveal pink, moist tissue with slough or [MEDICATION(S)] in the base. The resident has had a pressure injury in the same spot and is now at higher risk for continued breakdown. The wound/ostomy RN's 4/18/22 recommendations for wound care: Wound gel to the wound bed, followed by silicone foam dressing; change every two days. The resident will need aggressive turning and repositioning continuously to help heal the wound and prevent further breakdown. The plan for the wound at discharge was a referral for outside wound care support. There was no documentation the resident's care plan was updated to reflect aggressive turning and repositioning to help heal the wound. Resident 18's 4/18/22 hospital discharge orders also included a second set of coccyx wound orders: Stage 2 pressure injury at coccyx: clean with normal saline and place protective dressing PRN. The medical record revealed on 4/18/22 Staff 42 (RN) initiated the resident's pre-hospitalization coccyx wound orders for use of moisture barrier cream and ensure the resident was floated, turned and off-loaded from her/his coccyx. The treatment was documented from 4/18/22 through 4/30/22. In addition, on 4/19/22, Staff 38 ordered a sacral wound treatment to cleanse the wound, apply [MEDICATION(S)] or Iodosorb (iodine-based) ointment to wound bed, cover with Allevyn dressing and change three times per week. There was no documentation in the resident's medical record to demonstrate the multiple wound orders on 4/18/22 and 4/19/22 were reviewed to determine which were appropriate for the resident's wound care. The hospital wound care orders were not added to the 4/2022 MAR. A Wound Management Detail Report on 5/6/22 revealed the resident's sacral wound was 7 cm in length and 5 cm in width with a moderate amount of seropurulent (watery, pus-like) drainage. The skin surrounding the wound was dark purple or rusty discoloration; blanchable. It was noted the wound looked much worse than the previous week. The 5/2022 MAR indicated [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . On 5/19/22 a new treatment was implemented with the use of iodine on a yeast rash on the buttocks and in the gluteal cleft, use of Santyl (removes dead tissue from wounds) in coccyx wound if open and draining, cover with Allevyn dressing and change every other day. On 5/26/22 packing the wound with gauze was added to the wound care treatment and the wound care was changed to daily. A 5/26/22 Wound Management Detail Report revealed the resident's coccyx wound was 5 cm in length, 6 cm in width, with a depth of 2 cm. The wound was noted to now be a Stage 4 (Full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. Epibole (rolled edges), undermining and/or tunneling often occur. Depth varies by anatomical location. If slough or eschar obscures the wound bed, it is an unstageable PU/PI.), with mild odor, necrotic tissue and declining in healing status. The wound was described to have multiple areas of undermining and tunneling, with the surrounding skin dark red/purple around wound, warm to touch and blanching. There was no documentation in the medical record of a thorough assessment to describe how the coccyx wound progressed from a Stage 2 to Stage 4 wound, including what factors caused it to worsen or what new interventions were implemented. On 6/7/22 wound care orders were implemented to include the use of cacium alginate dressing with silver (absorbs wound fluids) and cover the wound with ABD dressing (highly absorbent). 6/13/22 Progress Notes indicated the resident's family notified facility staff one of the wound consultant physicians wanted Resident 18 to be seen at the ED (Emergency Department) for bacteria in her/his wound, surgical debridement of the wound and imaging. The resident was transported to the ED via EMS (emergency medical services). According to hospital medical records from 6/13/22 through 6/22/22 the resident required IV (intravenous) antibiotics for treatment of [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The 6/22/22 Hospital Discharge Summary indicated Resident 18 was diagnosed with a worsening Stage 4 pressure wound with multiple contibutors including: [CONDITION(S)], nutrition, hard wheelchair/cushions, local wound care, potentially under-treated muscle [CONDITION(S)]. Plastic surgery would not recommend a flap until these factors were remediated. The Discharge Summary included further recommendations: Every two hour turns: turn side to side, NO TIME on back; needs a specialized wheelchair cushion, [MEDICATION(S)] 10 mg BID to treat [CONDITION(S)] and plastic surgery follow-up in three months. The 6/22/22 Discharge Summary included new coccyx wound treatment orders: Cleanse and irrigate wound with normal saline, paint peri-wound skin with [MEDICATION(S)] skin prep (ultra-thin skin barrier) moisten kerlix gauze with Dakin's solution (wound cleanser), loosely fill wound with Dakin's moistened gauze - ensure all undermined areas of wound are loosely filled; cover with ABD pad and secure with mesh underwear or minimal tape, twice daily. On 7/25/22 at 2:20 PM this surveyor observed Resident 18 and Witness 5 (Family), in the resident's room. The resident was alert, oriented and talked freely about her/his medical needs and care at the facility. Witness 5 stated there was almost always a family member here with the resident for support and to ensure care was given correctly. Witness 5 indicated the resident had an open area on her/his coccyx that was infected. The resident was observed on a specialized fluid immersion simulation bed and Witness 5 stated it was their own bed and they brought it into the facility for the resident to use. On 7/26/22 at 11:36 AM Witness 4 (Family) was visiting Resident 18 and Witness 4 voiced concern because staff told them pressure sores were not preventable. Both the resident and Witness 4 told this surveyor the resident was not always turned every two hours as required. During the interview at 12:00 PM two CNAs entered the resident's room to reposition her/him. After the CNAs left the room Witness 4 stated she had been there all morning and the last time the resident was turned or repositioned was at 9:00 AM. On 7/27/22 at 5:39 PM Witness 3 (complainant) stated he observed Resident 18's sacral wound during her/his hospitalization in 6/2022 when he took care of the resident's medical needs. Witness 3 stated the Stage 4 pressure injury was quite deep and due to the resident's inability to care for herself/himself, staff were responsible for most of her/his needs and ensuring pressure relief was provided appropriately. Witness 3 indicated the resulting wound was likely the result of neglect due to lack of enough position changes. Witness 3 stated he discussed his concerns regarding the sacral wound with the resident's family. On 8/1/22 at 10:26 AM Staff 32 (RN) stated she was part of the staff who participated in Resident 18's initial admission and her/his wound was pretty minor at that time. Staff 32 stated the wound was a Stage 2 on admit. Staff 32 revealed the resident was turned every two hours and required two staff to do so. Staff 32 indicated the completion of the resident's turning schedule was documented on the TAR and by the CNAs, plus they give shift-to-shift report when the last time the resident was repositioned. Staff 32 stated the resident's wound had worsened around the end of May of this year when there was a staffing decrease. Staff 32 indicated after the wound worsened it required surgical debridement in the hospital. On 8/1/22 at 1:22 PM Staff 42 (CNA) stated the resident's transfers or position changes were always two-person and they used a transfer blanket for him/her which was very helpful. Staff 42 stated they tried to do at least every two hour position changes and the resident was very alert and patient during her/his care. On 8/1/22 at 1:22 PM Staff 33 (CNA) stated they used a draw-sheet type blanket to move the resident to assist with changing her/his position. Staff 33 stated the resident got out of bed sometimes and she/he liked to get a shower at least once a week. In an interview on 8/1/22 at 4:17 PM Staff 34 (RN/Infection Preventionist) stated she had previously seen the resident's wound and written some wound care orders in her capacity as a wound care nurse. Staff 34 stated the wound was a Stage 2 when the resident was admitted , then it became unstageable and was now a Stage 4 wound. During interviews on 8/2/22 at 9:28 AM and 11:11 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and this surveyor reviewed Resident 18's coccyx wound care information. Staff 2 stated the resident's wound care orders came from multiple sources including: Staff 34, Staff 38, doctors at the wound clinic and hospital orders. Staff 2 indicated she did not know specifically how the wound progressed from Stage 2 to a Stage 4, but stated the facility provided multiple things including changing treatments, outside consults, dietary consults. Staff 2 stated she did not feel they caused the resident's coccyx wound to worsen because they were changing orders all the time and trying to find something that worked. Staff 2 indicated she did not see the 4/18/22 referral from the hospital wound nurse regarding wound care. On 8/4/22 at 8:40 AM, Staff 38 (Medical Director) acknowledged he treated Resident 18's sacral wound and stated there were multiple reasons why wounds worsen. Staff 38 indicated pressure injury wounds were difficult to care for and there were many challenges involved, including staffing at the time. Staff 38 indicated many were involved with the care of the resident's wound including outside wound care. Staff 38 stated he was not sure how worsening of the wound could have been avoided. Staff 38 indicated pressure ulcers still happen even when people are getting good care it was difficult to prevent them. 2.

F325G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to timely assess, intervene, or reassess 1 of 8 sampled residents (#s 7) with weight loss. Resident 7 experienced severe weight loss. Findings include: Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in July 2010 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the Weight Graph revealed on 7/13/10 the resident weighed 198 pounds when wearing the prosthetic leg. The resident was weighed daily without the prosthetic leg on 7/14/10 through 7/20/10 with an average weight of 191.8 pounds. Based on these weights, the weight of the prosthetic leg was approximately six pounds. An undated facility policy and procedure for weighing residents indicated CNAs were to weigh residents by the 10th of each month. They were to follow weighing instructions that included information regarding the weight of the wheelchair, if leg rests or other attachments were on the wheelchair, if the resident was weighed in a shower chair, the presence of a blanket, the time of day, etc. CNAs were to " compare with last weight on graph. If there is more than 4 lbs. (pounds) difference, check that you followed the weighing instructions and reweigh the resident to assure the weight is accurate. " Review of the Weight Graph from August to December 2010 revealed the resident weighed: 195.4 pounds on 8/1/10, 187.4 pounds in September 2010 (no specific date), 185.6 pounds on 10/3/10 with prosthesis on, 182.4 pounds on 11/4/10 and 166.4 pounds on 12/1/10. The presence or absence of the prosthesis was noted only on the 10/3/10 weight. The Dietary assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident was "eating (and) drinking well" and had a current weight of 195.5 pounds. The Nutrition Prescription was CCHO (controlled carbohydrate diet), Choice Menus in the dining room and supplements of multivitamins and Vitamin C. The Interdisciplinary Focus dated 10/15/10 indicated the resident's weight was 185.6 pounds, a weight loss of 12.4 pounds in three months, representing a 6.2 percent weight loss. Staff 11 (Registered Dietitian/RD) wrote the resident had a urinary tract infection with decreased oral intake. The resident's diet was altered to change two percent milk to whole milk, increase bacon to four to six slices per day according to the resident's choice and to offer a meal replacement after dinner. Review of the Progress Notes (PN) dated 11/20/10 from 4:00 pm through 5:30 pm revealed the resident fell , experienced a scalp laceration and a "tiny hemmoragic (sic) contusion on the brain" and was kept overnight at the hospital for observation. PN dated 11/23/10 at 4:00 pm indicated the resident had decreased alertness and a low grade temperature and was sent to the emergency department. PN dated 11/24/10 at 7:00 am indicated the resident returned to the facility and PN the same date at 11:30 am indicated the resident had a "superficial stage 2 open area noted to coccyx." (A stage II pressure ulcer is a partial thickness skin loss and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister or shallow crater.) The Skin Wound Flow Sheet dated 11/24/10 indicated the resident had a Stage II pressure ulcer of the coccyx that measured 1 cm by 0.5 cm and was 1 millimeter deep. A portion of the form indicating "Nutrition: date dietician notified" was dated 11/24/10. PN dated 11/26/10 at 5:05 pm indicated the resident refused lunch and PN at 7:25 pm indicated the resident had an x-ray of the lungs that was positive for pneumonia. Multiple PN from 11/27/10 through 12/20/10 indicated the resident had a poor appetite or ate poorly. PN dated 12/29/10 indicated Staff 11 (RD) did a Nutrition and Weight Review of the resident. Staff 11 documented the resident's weight was 166.2 pounds, a decrease of 16.2 pounds or 8.8 percent in one month and a decrease of 20 pounds or 11.1 percent in three months. Staff 11 calculated the resident's average meal intake from the first through the tenth of December 2010 as 35 percent with an increase to 77 percent the week before her review. "Would expect Jan (January) wt (weight) to improve (with increased oral intake), however Res (resident) at nut'l (nutritional) risk." The plan was to offer either 2cal (nutritionally dense liquid supplement) or health shake in morning coffee. In an interview on 1/11/11 at 3:02 pm Staff 14 (RNCM) stated the resident had a significant change in condition. The resident had been "really sick" with pneumonia, a bladder infection and a fall with an injury. The resident had lost weight but had rebounded some. At 3:25 pm Staff 11 (RD) joined the interview and stated she charted on weights monthly and by the time she got around to looking at Resident 7, the resident's oral intake was improving. Staff 14 stated CNAs were responsible for weighing residents and a change of four pounds up or down meant the CNA automatically should reweigh the resident and report to the charge nurse. In an interview on 1/11/11 at 4:00 pm Staff 11 stated when residents developed pressure ulcers, the nurse would inform her and she would proceed to do a chart and nutrition review of the resident. Staff 11 stated she did not chart on Resident 7's skin condition in November and did not include the skin condition in the analysis of the resident's weight loss in the 12/29/10 note. In an interview on 1/11/11 at 4:20 pm Staff 14 (RNCM) stated Staff 11 was contacted for consults for residents with pressure ulcers. In an interview on 1/12/11 at 9:50 am Staff 14 and Staff 11 provided a copy of a nurse's "cheat sheet" (nurse's list of residents' conditions, things to do, note or chart on for that shift) dated 12/6/10 that indicated the resident weighed 175.2 pounds. Staff 14 and Staff 11 stated that the weight taken on 12/6/10 was a reweigh of the 12/1/10 weight. Review of the clinical record revealed the weight on the nurse's cheat sheet had not been documented in the resident's chart nor was it documented on the monthly weight log for all residents on the unit. The weight did not indicate if the resident wore his leg prosthesis. Observations on 1/12/11 at 7:59 am, 11:20 am, 12:00 pm and 2:45 pm revealed the resident in bed. In an interview on 1/12/11 at 2:45 pm Staff 15 (RN) stated the resident was still recovering from pneumonia and had good days and off days. The resident was having an off day and had not gotten out of bed. Staff 15 stated staff encouraged the resident to eat and drink a health shake with coffee. In an interview on 1/12/11 at 3:00 pm Staff 12 (Administrator) and Staff 13 (DNS) agreed Resident 7 was a compromised resident with new problems of pneumonia, a fall, a pressure ulcer and weight loss. The lack of ongoing assessments, interventions, monitoring of effectiveness of interventions and revising the interventions after continued weight loss was discussed. Review of a document provided by the facility on 1/13/11 at 10:50 am revealed the resident had "a bladder infection (for most of October), [MEDICAL CONDITION], had a change in cognition resulting in hospitalization , and eventually developed pneumonia (in November)." The resident "has lost small amounts of weight each month, but did not lose enough to be considered significant." The resident was "assessed by our dietitian in August, September, October and December, with recommended changes made in October and December." In an interview on 1/13/11 at 10:50 am Staff 12 (Administrator), Staff 13 (DNS), Staff 11 (RD) and Staff 14 (RNCM) acknowledged the resident ' s health was compromised by his many diagnoses, and from mid October through December 2010, he had the additional stressors of a urinary tract infection, a fall with injury, a pressure ulcer and pneumonia. Staff 11 stated she had not evaluated the resident's nutritional status or needs between 10/15/10 and 12/29/10 when the resident lost 19.2 pounds.
