F578D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on review of the facility policy, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that the advance directive information kept in the electronic health record (EHR) and hard chart reflected the same advance directive decision for Resident (R)48. This has the potential to allow the facility to not be able to carry out the resident's correct advance directive decision. Findings Include: Review of facility's policy titled, Advance Directive with a revision date of 01/24 revealed, Each resident shall be deemed a Full Code until we have the appropriate DNR documents signed by the resident or responsible party and physician. Review of R48's Facesheet revealed, R48 was admitted into the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to, congestive heart failure, hemiplegia, cerebral ischemic attack, hypertension, depression, edema, anemia, and muscle weakness. Review of R48's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 09/12/24 revealed, a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating resident is cognitively intact. Further review of the MDS revealed, R48 needs partial assistance from another person to complete any activity. Review of a document titled, Use of Resuscitation Procedures dated 06/07/24 revealed a request that if R48 has a sudden failure of vital function, that no emergency medical measure be used to restore this function. Review of an Emergency Medical Services Do Not Resuscitate Order dated 06/07/24 revealed the document contained R48's and physician signatures. During review of R48's medical record on 10/01/24 at 4:05 PM revealed a discrepancy with the advance directive. The hard chart had an advance directive of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) and the EHR had a full code status. During an interview on 10/03/24 at 8:44 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)1 revealed, the social worker put the advance directives in the charts and if the advance directives are in the wrong place, the unit secretary will put it in the right place. The unit secretary does packets to send residents out. If there are discrepancies in the EHR and hard chart, the unit secretary will let the unit manager know or the appropriate department. During an interview on 10/03/24 at 8:52 AM with the Unit Manager (UM) revealed, whenever a resident comes in, they are automatically a full code. They are asked and if they desire to become a DNR, they can once the order is signed by a physician. The unit manager writes the telephone order for the physician to sign. The social worker sends a ghost buster and order to the physician for a signature. For discrepancies, they look to make sure the physician has signed the order and if not they are still a full code. In case of an emergency the UM stated, she would go to the chart first and look at face sheet, then have a second person to check other source. During an interview on 10/03/24 at approximately 2:57 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed, The advance directives are handled by social services. Social services rounds to see if any changes need to be made and carried out.

Accidents were not thoroughly investigated, resulting in a failure to identify potential contributing factors. Care plan interventions to prevent falls were not implemented for R78, who sustained multiple falls. Findings include: Review of R78's Face Sheet revealed she was admitted to the facility in (MONTH) (YEAR) with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), an assessment tool completed by the facility staff used to identify resident care problems and assist with care planning, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD), the end-point of the evaluation period of 01/26/18, indicated under Section C: Cognitive Patterns, the R78's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 15 of 15, which indicated the resident had intact cognition.

Review of R78's fall history, as documented in Resident Incident Report forms, included: a. 04/10/18 at 9:44 PM: Called to Room Per CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). Resident observed sitting on floor with pants halfway down and blanket on floor with her foot on top of it. Resident stated, I was going to the bathroom and fell on my butt. Review of facility records revealed no evidence that a thorough investigation was conducted in response to this fall. In addition to the Resident Incident Report, the only other evidence of investigation provided by the facility was a three-sentence Incident Investigation form which stated, Root/cause analysis: Noted sitting on floor. Stated she was going to (the) bathroom and fell on her butt. A 3-day bowel and bladder (B & B) patterning assessment to be completed. Review of this information revealed that it failed to thoroughly describe and evaluate all possible contributing factors. For example, the investigation records failed to address the resident's footwear at the time of the fall and identify if the care plan intervention of appropriate footwear had been in place. There was no mention of the resident's call light as to whether it had been in place per the care plan, was used by the resident, and if so, if staff had responded in a timely manner to the resident's need for assistance with toileting. Review of R78's comprehensive care plan revealed that in response to this fall on 04/10/18, the resident's care plan was updated with the new approach of, 3-day B&B patterning assessment. Review of R78's electronic health record (EHR) and the hard copy record, revealed that the B&B patterning assessment was completed. b. 06/07/18 at 4:40 AM: Per the Resident Incident Report, staff were, called to room per resident.

For example, the investigation records again failed to address the resident's footwear at the time of the fall and determine if the care plan intervention of appropriate footwear had been in place. There was no mention of the resident's call light as to whether it had been in place per the care plan, was used by the resident, and if so, if staff had responded in a timely manner. c. 06/26/18 at 9:00 PM: Per the Resident Incident Report staff was standing at medication cart preparing meds for resident when I heard resident yell out, 'Oh.'

Resident then asked to go to the bathroom, as resident stood up with assist, she complaint (sic) of left hip pain when trying to walk. Review of an Accident/Incident Reporting Form - Bureau of Health Facilities Licensing form revealed the facility made a report of this accident to the State Survey Agency (SSA). Per this form, after the fall, the resident was transferred to the hospital, where x-rays showed that the resident had non-displaced fractures of the inferior and superior pubic rami (pelvic) on the L (left) side. Further review of the report to the SSA revealed, Intervention was placed for her to wear non-skid socks or shoes when she starts to ambulate. Review of the investigation records provided by the facility revealed no evidence that a thorough investigation was conducted in response to the fall. Review of the Incident Investigation form revealed, Root cause analysis: Noted lying on left side on floor. Stated going to bathroom and walker slipped away from her. Non-skid socks to be worn when not wearing shoes. Review of the investigation revealed the facility failed to thoroughly assess and address all possible contributing factors. For example, the new intervention was for the resident to have non-skid sock when not wearing shoes. There was no evidence to indicate the facility investigated why this intervention, which had been in place since admission on 01/19/18, was now considered a new intervention. The investigation failed to document what type (if any) footwear the resident was wearing at the time of the fall or assess why (if none was present) the care plan had not been followed. After the resident's fall with fracture on 06/26/18, a significant change assessment MDS, dated [DATE], revealed the resident had experienced declines in cognition and bladder continence, required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, ambulation, and locomotion in a wheelchair, and had developed a Stage II pressure ulcer to the sacrum. A new comprehensive care plan, dated 07/30/18, was developed which showed the resident continued to be at risk for falls and fracture. Review of this care plan revealed the previously identified intervention of 6/7/18 - low bed with mat at bedside was not carried forward to the new care plan, although there was no information to justify why this intervention was no longer necessary. The care plan did continue the interventions of, To wear non-skid socks when not wearing shoes as tolerated and for call light availability. d. 07/28/18 at 1:16 PM: The resident sustained [REDACTED]. Resident stated that she was tryin (sic) to get to the bathroom and slid and (sic) to the ground. Review of the Incident Investigation form revealed Root/Cause Analysis: Noted sitting on floor with back to bed. Stated attempting to go to bathroom. Staff to offer toileting every hour while awake.

Per the Incident Investigation the Root/Cause Analysis: Noted on floor in room beside bed. To be placed on frequent checks. There was no evidence of a thorough investigation to determine the possible root causes of the resident's fall. Review of these two investigation records, as well as a Post -Fall Investigation form provided by the facility, revealed no evidence as to whether previously identified care plan interventions, such as appropriate footwear and call light availability, were in use at the time of the fall. f. 08/31/18 at 4:21 PM: The resident was found sitting in floor at foot of bed per the Resident Incident Report. Per the Incident Investigation the Root/Cause Analysis: Noted sitting on floor at foot of bed. A room change provided moving resident closer to nurse's (sic) station. There was no evidence of a thorough investigation to determine the possible root causes of the resident's fall. Review of the investigation records provided no evidence as to whether previously identified care plan interventions, such as appropriate footwear, call light availability, and fall mats were in place at the time of the fall. Observations throughout the survey revealed that previously identified care plan interventions to prevent falls were not consistently implemented. Observation on 09/10/18 at 9:00 AM during the initial tour of the facility, revealed the resident was in bed on her back, complaining of pain due to a spot on my rectum. During this observation, the resident was noted to have a fall mat on the floor next to the left side of her bed. However, there was no fall mat on the right side of the bed. Additional observations of the resident in bed on 09/10/18 at 11:45 AM and 3:50 PM, and on 09/11/18 at 7:35 AM and 5:00 PM, revealed that although there was a fall mat on the floor next to the left side of bed, there was none on the right side of the bed. In addition, observation on 09/11/18 at 5:13 PM revealed that while the resident was in bed, she was noted to be barefoot and not wearing non-skid socks or shoes. During an interview on 09/11/18 at 5:13 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 78 verified that the resident was not wearing anything on her feet. He stated the resident should have been wearing socks while in bed. During this interview, LPN78 stated that the resident (who requires extensive assistance with dressing) will sometimes take off her socks. However, observation at this time revealed there were no socks present in the bed or on the floor nearby to indicate they had been provided by staff and then removed by the resident. Interview on 09/11/18 at 4:45 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that she had provided all the facility's investigative information for each fall since the resident's admission. She confirmed the information provided did not constitute a thorough investigation of each fall, as she was unable to answer specific questions about the circumstances of each fall, based on the facility's investigation reports. Further interview with the DON revealed that the facility had identified a problem with staff not completing a thorough investigation after each fall. She provided an Immediate Post - Fall Investigation form and stated that staff should be completing this form after every fall; however, the facility was having problems getting staff to complete these forms so that they could accurately determine root causes. Review of the form revealed it required staff to document multiple factors, including resident and staff interviews, observations of the environment, and a review of medication changes and then determine the Why of the problem. Further interview with the DON revealed that although this process had been in place since at least (MONTH) (YEAR), there were no Immediate Post-Fall Investigation forms for either of the two falls the resident sustained [REDACTED]. Further interview with the DON revealed that prior to the 06/26/18 fall with fracture, the resident was ambulatory. The DON stated that the 06/26/18 fracture occurred when the resident got up out of bed to go to the bathroom and fell . The DON stated at the time of that fall, the resident was not wearing footwear, and as a result, the need for non-skid socks was added to the care plan. When informed that the intervention of appropriate footwear had already been in place since 01/19/18, the DON stated, I don't know why she did not have footwear on. The DON responded, Oh definitely when asked if the resident should have had footwear on at the time of the fall. Further interview with the DON on 09/11/18 at 4:45 PM revealed the DON did not know, based on the investigation records, if R78 had a low bed and a fall mat in place (as per the resident's care plan) at the time of her fall with fracture on 06/26/18. Review of the Medication and Treatment Administration Records revealed that the low bed and mat were in place. After a review of the record, the DON confirmed that the previous intervention of a low bed with fall mat was not carried forward to the new comprehensive care plan when it was revised after the 07/17/18 significant change assessment. She stated it should be on the current care plan, as it was an intervention that was still needed. The DON stated it would make sense to have mats on both sides of the bed, as the resident could fall from either side. The DON stated that prior to the last fall (08/31/18), the resident was in a different room, and only needed one mat due to the placement of her bed against a wall. She stated that R78 was moved closer to the nursing station after her last fall and it appeared staff failed to identify that she now needed a mat for both sides of the bed, due to the placement of her bed in the new room. Interview on 09/11/18 at 5:21 PM with the MDS Coordinator revealed that the care plan intervention for the low bed with fall mat just got missed when the care plan was revised on 07/30/18. She stated that the low bed with fall mat was still a current intervention and should have been included on the new care plan initiated after the significant change assessment. Review of the facility policy titled, Falls Management, revised 02/2017, revealed that it included the following steps: . 4. Staff will implement care approaches per the resident's individual care plan . 8. The following measures will be implemented as indicated post a Fall: Assess and provide care to the resident. Evaluate the fall for new contributing or underlying causes and the resident for any change in condition. Visual inspection of resident and environment and communication with resident and staff. 9. The resident's care plan will be modified and updated as indicated. 10. Nursing staff will identify and implement interventions to try to reduce the risk and minimize consequences of falls.

F880D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interview, record review, and review of the facility's policies, the facility failed to use appropriate infection control precautions during the performance of ostomy care for one of two residents observed for dressing changes, (Resident (R) 31), and during the performance of blood sugar testing for one of one resident observed for blood sugar monitoring, (R2).

At that time, the resident received therapy services for range of motion issues in the upper extremities (shoulder and elbow). Review of Restorative Nursing forms revealed the resident was placed on a restorative nursing program on 12/01/16 for passive range of motion (PROM) to both lower extremities three times per week to maintain flexibility and ROM. A Restorative Nursing communication form, dated 04/18/17, also revealed the resident was to receive ROM to both upper extremities five times per week. Review of the resident's Care Plan revealed that it included a problem for, ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), with a target (completion) date of 11/01/18. Per the care plan, the resident is unable to perform ADLs r/t (related to) (the) effects of [MEDICAL CONDITION]. She is at risk for decreased flexibility and ROM in BLE (bilateral lower extremities) d/t (due to) (the) effects of [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Approaches to meet the goal of maintaining flexibility and ROM included, RNP (Restorative Nursing Program) 3x/week for PROM to BLE to maintain flexibility and ROM. The care plan also listed an intervention for the RNP to provide range of motion for the bilateral upper extremities; however, this intervention had a line drawn through it, indicating that it was no longer current. Review of Departmental Notes by Registered Nursing (RN) staff on 08/14/18 and 09/03/18 revealed notes stating, RNP continues 3x wk (week) for PROM to bilateral lower extremities to maintain flexibility and ROM. However, review of the Restorative CNA (certified nursing assistant) Roster revealed R1 did not receive ROM three times per week on a consistent basis as directed in her care plan. For example: Week of 08/12/18 - did not receive one of three ROM sessions. Week of 08/19/18 - did not receive one of three ROM sessions. Week of 08/26/18 - did not receive two of three ROM sessions. Week of 09/02/18 - did not receive one of three ROM sessions. During an interview on 09/11/18 at 12:50 PM, CNA51 stated she was the restorative aide routinely assigned to R1. She stated she provided PROM to R1's lower extremities and used a little weight when providing ROM for her arms. CNA51 stated she worked Monday - Friday; however, she could get pulled for other stuff and was not able to provide restorative services when that occurred. CNA51 stated on any day that ROM was provided, it was documented, and If she's (R1) not getting (PROM) three times a week, it's because I'm pulled to the floor (to perform routine nurse aide duties). During an interview on 09/11/18 at 12:53 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if the resident's care plan called for ROM three times per week, she (R1) should be receiving those services. The DON stated there were two restorative CNAs. However, if one of the two restorative aides were off work or pulled away from restorative services due to other staffing needs, the remaining restorative aide would have up to 40 residents and can't get them all done. Further interview with the DON revealed the restorative staff, normally doesn't get pulled more than once per week and confirmed this could explain why R1 was consistently not receiving all three days of ROM as care planned.
