She said it was to prevent contamination from staff to the resident and from the resident to the staff. She said CNA R should have been wearing a gown and she would perform a 1-1 in-service with her. Record review of the facility's policy and procedure on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (effective 4/1/24) read in part: This policy outlines the guidelines and procedures to implement enhanced barrier precautions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among residents and staff. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refers to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities .EBP are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of PPE to donning of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDRO's to staff hands and clothing. EBP are indicated for resident with any of the following: Infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted MDRO when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply. Wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO. For residents for whom EBP are indicated, EBP is employed when performing the following high-contact resident care activities: Dressing, Bathing/showering, Transferring, Providing hygiene, Changing linens, Changing briefs or assisting with toileting, Device care or use: central line [deeper, longer IV], urinary catheter [tube into bladder to drain urine], feeding tube [tube into stomach for nutrition], tracheostomy/ventilator [hole in throat for oxygen], Wound care: any skin opening requiring a dressing. Wounds generally include chronic wounds, not shorter-lasting wounds, such as skin breaks or skin tears covered with an adhesive bandage (e.g., Band-Aid) or similar dressing. Examples of chronic wounds include, but are not limited to, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and venous stasis ulcers [lack of circulation]. Indwelling medical device examples include central lines [deeper, longer IV], urinary catheters [tube into bladder to drain urine], feeding tubes [tube into stomach for nutrition], and tracheostomies [tube into throat for oxygen]. A peripheral intravenous line (not a peripherally inserted central catheter) is not considered an indwelling medical device for the purpose of EBP .Facilities have discretion on how to communicate to staff which residents require the use of EBP. CMS supports facilities in using creative (e.g., subtle) ways to alert staff when EBP use is necessary to help maintain a home-like environment, as long as staff are aware of which residents require the use of EBP prior to providing high-contact care activities .

Inspection of September 25, 2023

4 findings
F684K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered care plan for 1 of 11 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for quality of care in that: -The facility failed to transfer Resident #1 to the hospital in a timely manner when resident had an unwitnessed fall on 09/11/2023 at 4:23 a.m. and sustained a head injury. Resident #1 was receiving Eliquis (blood thinner). Resident #1 was not transferred to the hospital until after 8:00 a.m. Resident #1 is scheduled to have surgery on 9/14/23 due to brain bleed. - The facility failed to call 911 services to transport Resident #1 to a higher level of care instead, used their non-emergency transportation to send resident to the hospital. -The NF delayed in calling the physician and sending Resident #6 to a higher level of care to be evaluated when Resident #6 had an unwitnessed fall with head injury on 08/19/2023. -The NF delayed sending CR #7 to a higher level of care when CR #7 had an unwitnessed fall on 08/19/2023 at 6:28am. CR #7 was not sent to the hospital until 12:20pm where it was discovered that CR #7 had a fractured C1 & C2 (neck region). An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 09/14/2023. While the IJ was removed on 09/17/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of actual harm that is not IJ due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their corrective systems. This failure could place residents that sustain a fall with head injuries on blood thinners at risk for delayed treatment that could lead to severe injury, intracranial hemorrhage and/or death.

Interview on 09/13/2023 at 12:55 p.m., RN A said he worked on 09/10/2023 the 6pm-6am shift and was Resident #1's nurse. RN A said he found Resident #1 on the floor in his room at the foot of his bed laying on his right side. RN A said the time was around 4am-5am. RN A said Resident #1 told him that he was trying to transfer himself from his wheelchair to his bed. RN A said he did range of motion on Resident #1 and that he could move his extremities without complaints of pain. RN A said he initiated neuro checks. RN A said Resident #1 told him that he had hit his head. RN A said he did not see any signs of injury such as a knot on the head or any bleeding. RN A said resident was placed back in his wheelchair with the assistance of a CNA who name he could not remember. RN A said he called the family of Resident #1 as well as the doctor who gave the order to send resident to the hospital. RN A said regular transportation was called to transport resident to the hospital instead of 911 services because Resident #1's vital signs was stable, there was no bleeding, and resident was conscious. Further interview with RN A said he was not aware that Resident #1 was receiving the blood thinner Eliquis twice a day. RN A said if a resident experienced a fall with a head injury and receiving blood thinners they should be transported to the hospital immediately for further evaluation because resident could be bleeding internally. Interview on 09/13/2023 at 1:40 p.m., family member of Resident #1 said resident was still at the hospital experiencing bleeding from the brain and that the hospital said they were going to have to do surgery on the neck to relieve some pressure. The family member said Resident #1 was scheduled to have surgery on 09/14/2023 to relieve the pressure. The family member said the NF called her a little after 5:00 a.m. informing her that Resident #1 had fallen. The family member said she made it to the NF around 5:40 a.m. and that Resident #1 was complaining of pain to the right side of his neck and back, and left side of his head. The family member said Resident #1 left side of face was swelling extending to the forehead near the left eye. The family member said there was no sense of urgency to transport Resident #1 to the hospital. The family member said she went to let a male nurse know Resident #1 had swelling to his head. The family member said when the male nurse looked at Resident #1, he admitted resident had swelling to his head and told her that help was on the way. The family member said she then went to the nurse station and spoke to a female nurse asking when Resident #1 was going to be transported to the hospital. The family member said the female nurse told her that she had called transportation and was told that that they were in route to the NF. The family member said it was after 8:00 a.m. when Resident #1 left the NF on the way to the hospital. Interview on 09/13/2023 at 2:02 p.m., the Unit Manager said she worked at the NF from 8am-5pm and had been working at the NF for [AGE] years. The Unit Manager said on 09/11/2023 she arrived at the NF around 7:45 a.m. and began making rounds on the Hallways.

The Unit Manager said when she arrived at Resident #1's room, resident was sitting in his room in his wheelchair. The Unit Manager said Resident #1 was not able to tell her what had happened to him. The Unit Manager said she learned that Resident #1 had fallen on the 10pm-6am shift. The Unit Manager said the nurse on the night shift (10pm-6am) had already given report to the oncoming nurse LVN D who was working the morning shift. The Unit Manger said in the event of an emergency the Nursing staff would call 911 services and not the NF transportation System (non-emergency). An attempted interview and observation on 09/14/2023 at 10:31a.m. with Resident #1 was unsuccessful due to hospital staff informing the surveyor that Resident #1 was in surgery. Interview on 09/14/2023 at 1:17 p.m., the DON said according to the Nursing Progress Notes, Resident #1 was in his wheelchair and tried to transfer on his own to his bed fell and hit his head.

The DON said RN A assessed Resident #1 and done ROM on resident along with offering the resident something for pain. The DON said based on the Nursing documentation, Resident #1 was not in any pain. The DON said she learned later from the hospital that Resident #1 CT scan of the head was positive for hemorrhage. The DON said she informed the Administrator of the hospital findings, and the Administrator called the incident in to the state. The DON said the NF initiated in-service with the staff on fall precautions and abuse and neglect based on the NF policy. The DON said she was aware that Resident #1 was on a blood thinner and was transported to the hospital via the NF transportation. The DON said it was a case by case (pending on the resident (s) level of consciousness, vital signs, pain, distress, etc.) that determined if a resident is sent out by normal transportation or 911 services. The DON said the NF transportation could take up to 1- 2 hours to transport a resident to the hospital. The DON said she was aware that it took the NF almost 4 hours to send resident to higher level of care. The DON said she could not say if the course of action taken regarding Resident #1's unwitnessed fall with a head injury receiving blood thinners was the right course of action and again that it was a case-by-case situation. The surveyor asked the DON what was the NF policy regarding a resident on blood thinners experiencing a fall with head injuries? The DON said she did not know what the NF policy was on falls with head injuries in relation to residents taking anticoagulants/blood thinners and would have to go read it. Further interview with the DON said the NF did not have a policy regarding falls as it relates to blood thinners. Interview on 09/15/2023 at 12:22 p.m., LVN D said she worked the morning shift full time.

F600K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents have the right to be free from neglect for 3 of 11 residents (Resident #1, Resident # 6, and CR #7) reviewed for neglect in that: -The facility system for obtaining medical care for un-witnessed falls was not effective in protecting the health & safety of residents as follows: -The facility failed to transfer Resident #1 to the hospital immediately when resident had an unwitnessed fall on 09/11/2023 at 4:23 a.m. sustaining a head injury. Resident #1 was receiving the medication Eliquis (blood thinner) and was not transferred to the hospital until 8:00 a.m. Resident #1 is scheduled for surgery on 9/14/23 due to brain bleed. -The NF delayed in calling the physician and sending Resident #6 to a higher level of care to be evaluated when Resident #6 had an unwitnessed fall with head injury on 08/19/2023. -The NF delayed sending CR #7 to a higher level of care when CR #7 had an unwitnessed fall on 08/19/2023 at 6:28am. CR #7 was not sent to the hospital until 12:20pm where it was discovered that CR #7 had a fractured C1 & C2 (neck region). An IJ was identified on 09/21/2023. While the IJ was removed on 09/25/2023, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of a pattern that is not IJ due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their corrective systems This failure place residents who have unwitnessed falls at risk of increase injury, pain, and death. Findings: Record review of Resident #1 face sheet revealed a 64year old male admitted to the NF on 12/09/2022. Resident #1 diagnoses included the following: hemiplegia (paralysis that affects one side of the body) & hemiparesis (weakness) following cerebral infarction (disrupted blood to the brain), congestive heart failure (when the heart does not pump blood adequately), atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), cognitive communication deficit (impairment in an individual's mental capacity), muscle weakness, hyperlipidemia (elevated cholesterol), and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #1's MDS dated [DATE] revealed that resident had a BIMS score of 11(signifying mild mental impairment). Further review revealed that resident required limited assistance with bed mobility, transfer, and personal hygiene. Further review revealed that resident required supervision with dressing, eating, and toilet use. Record review of Resident #1s' Physician Orders revealed the following orders: -aspirin oral tablet 325mg give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain, order date 08/04/2023, -Eliquis oral tablet 2.5mg give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for atrial fibrillation, order date 02/17/2023. Record review of Resident #1's MAR dated September 2023 revealed that the NF was administering the medication aspirin and Eliquis as ordered by the physician.

The CNA said CR #93 was on tube feedings, so she would move him from the dining room area during lunch and have him in the hallway where she could see him. She said the last time she saw the resident on 9/26/19 was around 1:00PM while she was passing out hall trays, she said his wheel chair parked in the hallway where she could see him. She said the next time she saw the resident was during her final shift rounds around 1:30PM - 1:40PM.

The DON said the resident had fallen two days after he was admitted which is when they care planned him for falls and put fall interventions in place that included low bed, falls mats, and they had discussed moving his bed against the wall but had not been done yet. She said they also tried to keep the resident in high visibility areas to monitor him for falls. She said CR #93 often tried to do more than he should be doing and would forget he could not do the same things he could do and mentioned the resident had Dementia but could communicate. The DON said the Administrator completed the investigation for the incident but her understanding of what happened was that the resident was trying to transfer himself from his wheel chair to his bed and fell . She said the resident was last seen in the hallways while the CNA was passing lunch trays before he was found on the floor in his room. She did not know of anyone seeing him going back to his room. The DON was also asked about the stuck out notes and reports for CR #93's first fall on 9/18/19 and she said she was unaware that they were crossed out and did not know why someone had done so. She added it was reported the resident had fallen on 9/18/19 and when the nurse went down to the room the resident had gotten himself up into the chair in his room. She said the incident was treated as a fall. Interview on 10/11/19 at 4:42PM, the Administrator said his investigation revealed CR #93 had fallen in his room transferring from his chair to bed. The fall was unwitnessed, the resident had hit his head and complained of leg pain, so he was sent out the hospital for an x-ray. He said he wasn't informed of the resident having the fracture until later that night and he then called in and reported the incident to the state agency. After further investigation he found the resident had wheeled himself to his room. He said he wasn't sure without looking at his notes, but he believed the resident was last seen in the dining room area. He said for fall interventions the staff had educated CR #93 to stay in visible areas, when asked if the resident was cognitive enough to understand or remember the education, he said he was not that familiar with the resident because he had not been at the facility very long and said he would have to review his MDS. Surveyor mentioned concerns of no one noticing CR #93 had gone back to his room and was in his room alone, the Administrators response was, it seemed like it happened really quick. Record review of the facility's Falls - Clinical Protocol (Revised (MONTH) 2012) revealed in part, .1. As part of the initial assessment, the physician will help identify individuals with a history of falls and risk factors for subsequent falling. [NAME] Staff will ask the resident and the caregiver or family about a history of falling. B. The staff and physician should document in the medical record a history of one or more recent falls (for example, within 90 days). C. While many falls are isolated individual incidents, a significant proportion occur among a few resident/patients. Those individuals may have a treatable medical disorder or functional disturbance as the underlying cause . 1. Based on the preceding assessment, the staff and physician will identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent subsequent falls and to address risks of serious consequences of falling. [NAME] Examples of such interventions may include calcium and vitamin D supplementation to address [MEDICAL CONDITION], use of hip protectors, addressing medical issues such as [MEDICAL CONDITION] and dizziness, and tapering, discontinuing, or changing problematic medication. 2. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various relevant interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling reduces or stop or until a reason is identified for its continuation (for example, if the individual continues to try to get up and walk without waiting for assistance) .
