LPN #1 also stated if the medication that you needed was a narcotic you would sign out for it on the resident's narcotic sheet that you were borrowing it from. The surveyor requested that the pharmacist on duty for this day (11/1/18) come and speak to the surveyor. The pharmacist on duty for 11/1/18 came to the surveyor approximately 3:45 pm and the surveyor asked the pharmacist the same question as proposed to LPN#1 as documented above.

The surveyor interviewed the pharmacist, the director of nursing, the quality assurance nurse (QA) and registered nurse (RN) #1 on 11/2/18 at 11:46 am in the conference room along with 3 of the survey team members in attendance.

Based on resident interview, staff interview, and clinical record review, facility staff failed to provide for the resident's right to choose activities and associates within the community for 1 of 39 residents in the survey sample (Resident #263). Resident #263 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On the quarterly minimum data set assessment with assessment reference date 10/4/2018, the resident scored 15/15 on the brief interview for mental status and was assessed as without signs of [MEDICAL CONDITION] or [MEDICAL CONDITION], and with verbal behavior directed toward others on 1-3 of the 7 days prior to the assessment. The resident required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility and transfers and was totally dependent for locomotion on and off the nursing unit. During an interview on 10/30/2018, Rresident #263 reported that his main social activity was sitting outside smoking and talking with the other men. He wasn't interested in group activities. He reported that he had not been allowed to smoke since he was hospitalized with an infection. He said that he isn't allowed in the (wheel) chair now. The surveyor asked if he had been told why he couldn't smoke. He said the people running the place decided he had to wear a patch instead. He did not want to wear the patch and said he had been telling them every day that he didn't want it and that he wanted to smoke. On 10/31/18 8:30 AM, the surveyor spoke with the resident again. He stated that every time he asked to go to smoke, he was given different reasons he couldn't smoke. He said they hadn't let him smoke since he came from the hospital. They have said now that he can't go smoke until at least Monday (the next Monday was 11/5). He did not know why Monday. The resident stated I'd like to be able to go smoke one. I'd like to get back in my chair, but they say I'd fall out of it. I'm supposed to be having therapy. On 10/31/18 at 02:20 PM, the director of nursing (DON) reported she won't allow him to go outside to smoke, or to stores with family because his family are drug users. On 11/1/18 at 2:30 PM, the DON said she did not say it right yesterday. She said she did not tell the resident he could not smoke. She said she told him he needed to sign out when he left. She said she had told him not to wheel around the parking lot because people drive too fast in the parking lot and he could get hit. On 11/01/18 at 3:21 PM the DON stated that she didn't mean to say what she did. She she said she meant that staff had told her that they heard he smelled like marijuana when he had been out with the family members, who were known drug addicts. She said she had a note written sometime in the past and she could provide a witness because she never talked to anyone without a witness. On 11/1/18 at 4 PM, the DON brought a printed Registered Nurse progress note dated 11/1/18 3:41 PM (nurse) and myself spoke with resident about his desire to smoke. We told him that if he desired to smoke that the CNA could get him up and a staff member could assist him to the smoking area. We reminded him if he had on a [MEDICATION NAME] it could make him sick. If he desires we could ask his doctor to d/c (discontinue) the [MEDICATION NAME]. We discussed it with him if the staff had been getting him up and he said he thought he had gotten up. We told him if he had any concerns to ask for (DON) or (nurse). He thanked us for stopping by. The DON stated that she wanted to take care of this herself and said she told Resident #263 that he could smoke today if he wanted to because he wasn't wearing a patch. The DON stated, while addressing other issues with surveyors, on 11/1/18 after 4 PM, that the resident couldn't smoke because he had agreed to the order for nicotine patches while he was in the hospital. On 10/31/18, the surveyor spoke by phone with the resident's power of attorney (POA). The surveyor asked about activities and preferences. The POA said that staff were getting the resident up to a recliner every other day. She said they did not get him up on days her daughter visited him instead of the POA. She said the resident feels angry and frustrated because he has no control over his life and and he doesn't want anyone to tell him what to do. She said he asks to smoke every day. Staff have been telling him he can not. (LPN 1) told him no, not until at least Monday The POA approves of staff preventing the resident from smoking. She said that yesterday (10/30) the resident had refused the nicotine patch and she had persuaded (LPN 1) to sneak a patch on him while he was distracted. She said that made him less angry and agitated. Clinical record review revealed a Safe Smoking assessment dated [DATE] conducted by a registered nurse indicated that the resident met all safe smoking criteria. Comments: Alert, oriented to person, place, time; always with family/friend when smoking; good safety awareness re:smoking materials; smoking materials kept at Nurse's station.
