Based on clinical record review, review of select facility policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a resident's medication regime was free from potentially unnecessary medications for two of six residents reviewed (Residents 3 and 102). Findings include: The policy entitled Psychotropic Medication Use, last reviewed January 18, 2023, indicates that residents will not receive medications that are not clinically indicated to treat a specific condition. Non-pharmacological approaches are used to minimize the need for medications, permit the lowest possible dose, and allow for discontinuation of medications when possible. The policy does not include measures the facility will implement to monitor the target behaviors for the as needed use of a psychotropic medication. Review of Resident 3's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated October 27, 2023, that indicated nursing staff were to monitor Resident 3's behaviors and make a progress note regarding her behaviors and interventions every shift. The order did not specify what behaviors nursing staff were monitoring. The behavioral monitoring order was discontinued on November 17, 2023, despite Resident 3 continuing to receive an as needed psychotropic medication for anxiety or agitation. A physician's order dated October 30, 2023, indicated that nursing staff can administer Ativan (a medication used to treat anxiety) 0.5 mg (milligrams) half a tablet every 12 hours as needed for anxiety. A physician's order dated November 4, 2023, indicated that nursing staff can administer Ativan 0.5 mg one tablet every 12 hours as needed for anxiety. A physician's order dated November 7, 2023, indicated that nursing staff can administer Ativan 0.5 mg one tablet every day at 2:00 PM as needed for anxiety or agitation. A physician's order dated November 13, 2023, indicated that nursing staff can administer Ativan 0.5 mg one tablet every eight hours as needed for anxiety or agitation. Review of Resident 3's MAR (Medication Administration Record, a form used to document the administration of medications) dated November 2023, indicated that nursing staff administered the Ativan to Resident 3 12 times, according to the physician orders listed above. There was no documented evidence in Resident 3's clinical record to indicate that nursing staff attempted non-pharmacological interventions or documented behavioral monitoring when administering the Ativan twice on November 4, 2023, twice on November 5, 2023, once on November 6, 2023, once November 10, 2023, twice on November 15, 2023, once on November 18, 2023, once on November 20, 2023, once on November 24, 2023, and once on November 25, 2023. Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 1, 2023, at 10:35 AM acknowledged the above findings for Resident 3. Clinical record review for Resident 102 revealed that she was seen by a consultant specializing in psychogeriatrics (mental health treatment for older people for the purpose of improvement in functional status, behavior, and quality of life) on July 25, 2023, and September 13, 2023. The resident was diagnosed with major depressive disorder (depression), unspecified dementia (loss of memory, language, problem solving that interfere with daily life) with anxiety, and anxiety disorder. A physician's order for Resident 102 dated September 28, 2023, indicating the nurse can administer Ativan 0.5 mg one tablet every 12 hours as needed for anxiety/agitation for 14 days. A physician's order for Resident 102 dated October 27, 2023, indicating the nurse can administer Ativan 0.5 mg one tablet every 12 hours as needed for anxiety/agitation for 14 days. A physician's order for Resident 102 dated November 15, 2023, indicating the nurse can administer Ativan 0.5 mg one tablet every 12 hours as needed for anxiety/agitation for 14 days. Review of Resident 102's MAR for October 2023, revealed nursing staff administered Ativan three times according to the physician orders above.

Inspection of November 12, 2015
1 findingBased on clinical record review, review of select policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to identify, assess, and provide interventions to prevent pressure sore development for one resident reviewed (Resident CR1). Findings include: The policy entitled Skin Integrity Management, identified by the Acting Director of Nursing as the most recent policy, revealed that the implementation of an individual patient's skin integrity management occurs within the care delivery process. Staff continually observes and monitors patients for changes and implements revisions to the plan of care as needed. The purpose of this plan is to provide safe and effective care to prevent the occurrence of pressure ulcers, manage treatment, and promote healing of all wounds. Staff is to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the resident upon admission/re-admission to the facility. The Braden Scale, a tool for assessing a pressure ulcer risk, indicates the following: severe risk 10, high risk 10-12, moderate risk 13-14, and mild risk 15-18. Closed clinical record review for Resident CR1 revealed that the facility admitted him on July 25, 2015, for rehabilitation for intractable (constant, severe that is not curable by any other means) back pain and then return home. Review of the Initial (Admission) Nursing Assessment, dated July 25, 2015, indicated that his skin was rarely moist usually dry, his skin color was normal, and the skin condition was warm. The identified skin conditions included: left antecubital (elbow) bruise, scab at the middle of the abdomen, moisture associated to right and left groin diffuse, an open area on the back of the right leg, and a blotch rash to the back and back of the thighs. No other skin issues were noted. Review of the Braden Scale assessment dated [DATE], revealed the nursing staff assessed Resident CR1 at a score of 19, at no risk for developing a pressure sore. Resident CR1 was hospitalized from August 4 through 7, 2015. Review of the hospital records failed to indicate any skin issues. Review of the nursing assessment upon his return from the hospital revealed that his skin was occasionally moist due to daily incontinence but had infrequent exposure. It was mainly at night and staff was using a padding system. His skin color was normal and warm. He had a left antecubital bruise and a bruise on his right inner wrist. No other skin issues were noted. Nursing staff did not update the Braden scale to re-assess Resident CR's potential for developing a pressure ulcer. Nursing documentation dated August 8, 2015, at 2:10 PM revealed that Resident CR1 had a sacral (base of the spine) deep tissue injury. Nursing staff notified his physician and received orders to cleanse with soap and water and apply [MEDICATION NAME] (used to protect wounds) every other day. The Wound Management Tracking Tool (a listing of the residents in the facility with skin issues), dated August 2015, revealed that Resident CR1 had an area on his right buttocks due to incontinence. The measurements dated August 7, 2015, week one, revealed no length or width and a depth of less than 0.1. There were two other weekly measurements, week two (no date) 6 centimeters (cm) long and 3.5 cm wide and 0.2 deep with light drainage. Week 3 (no date) 11 cm long and 4 cm wide and 0.2 deep with light drainage. There was no other description or tracking of this skin issue. Resident CR1's plan of care dated August 11, 2015, revealed staff is to assist him in repositioning every two hours, observe his skin condition with daily care, report abnormalities, pressure redistribution surfaces to his bed and chair, and a weekly skin assessment by a licensed nurse. Nursing documentation dated August 12, 2015, revealed that the physician changed the sacral wound treatment. He discontinued the [MEDICATION NAME] and implemented a skin paste (barrier) twice daily. Nursing documentation dated August 13, 2015, indicated that Resident CR1 was cooperative with medications and treatments. Nursing documentation dated August 25, 2015, indicated that Resident CR1 had a new onset/change in skin integrity, two Stage III (full thickness tissue loss) pressure ulcers on the right buttocks. Pressure ulcer one measured 5.3 cm long, 3.0 cm wide, and 0.4 cm deep. Pressure ulcer two measured 4.0 cm long, 2.0 cm wide, and 0.3 cm deep. Review of the Skin Integrity Report, confirms the above pressure description and includes further description. Both pressure ulcers had minimal drainage and the surrounding tissue was inflamed. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Acting Director of Nursing on November 12, 2015, at 3:00 PM confirmed that staff assessed Resident CR1 upon admission as not being at risk for developing a pressure ulcer. There were no pressure areas or open areas on his sacrum or buttocks at that time. Staff did provide him with a pressure reducing mattress and cushion for his chair, which is standard for all admissions. During the same interview, they confirmed that Resident CR1 was hospitalized from August 4-7, 2015. Review of his hospital record and readmission nursing assessment failed to indicate any skin issues on his sacrum or buttocks. Nursing documentation dated August 8 indicated a deep tissue injury on his sacrum. The only description and/or tracking for this deep tissue injury is documented on the Wound Management Tracking Tool as noted above. The Nursing Home Administrator and Acting Director of Nursing indicated that nursing staff revealed that Resident CR1 had two Stage III pressure ulcers on his buttocks due to refusal of treatments. Review of Resident CR1's Treatment Administration Records (a form used to document treatments provided to the resident) indicated there were no resident refusals from August 8 through and including August 24, 2015. Review of the POC Resident Response Rate Report (documentation of resident's turning and repositioning revealed that Resident CR1 did not refuse to be turned from August 8 through August 31, 2015. The facility failed to identify, assess, and implement interventions to prevent two Stage III pressure ulcers on Resident CR1's right buttocks. 483.25(c) Treatment/Services to Prevent/Heal Pressure Sores.
