F580J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to immediately inform the physician when there was a significant change in the resident's physical and mental status (that is, a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications); for 1 of 7 Residents (Resident #174) whose records were reviewed for change in condition. Facility did not notify physician of Resident #174 change in condition and did not notify physician that the ordered CT Scan for [DATE] was not obtained. This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on [DATE]. While the IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at actual harm with a scope identified as isolated. This failure resulted in the resident not receiving urgent medical care and resulted in death. Findings: Record review of facility face sheet dated [DATE] indicated Resident #174 was [AGE] years old and was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Record review of MDS dated [DATE] with completion date of [DATE] for Resident #174 indicated she had severe cognitive impairment, required extensive assistance of 1 person for walking, dressing, eating, toileting, bed mobility, transfers, and personal hygiene.

Record review of hospital discharge summary dated [DATE] indicated Resident #174 was terminally extubated and was pronounced dead on [DATE] at 5:37 PM. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:32 PM LVN D stated he had received an order on [DATE] from Resident #174's PCP for a CT Scan due to altered mental status and headaches. PCP did not order CT Scan to be completed STAT or feel need for ER visit. LVN D let the scheduler know to obtain it outpatient on [DATE]. Resident #174's headaches were positional (worsened when changing positions). Tylenol was administered but don't think it helped any, but I can't remember. He stated he did not work for several days after [DATE] and was not aware the CT Scan was not completed. LVN D stated he had been a LVN for 9 months and employed at the facility during that time. Stated he had some training on reporting change in condition but not much.

During interview on [DATE] at 3:45 pm the ADM stated the doctor's order for Resident #174 stated tomorrow ([DATE]), but there was no urgency noted to the order. When the CT Scan was not done, she did not think anything of it. We were working on getting it scheduled and days went by and finally the SW took over getting it scheduled. She stated the facility failed to recognize the urgency of the CT Scan. She stated it is facility policy to notify the physician of changes in condition and when orders are not completed as ordered. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:20 PM PCP stated he ordered a CT Scan on [DATE] for Resident #174 because of positional headaches. He did okay it being done the next day because he was told the family requested to not send her to the ER. He was never made aware the CT Scan was not done until Resident #174 went to the hospital on [DATE] with a subdural hematoma. He stated there was no communication from the facility to him regarding the CT Scan not being done or that Resident #174 was having other changes in condition. He stated had he known it was not scheduled he would have ordered for her to go to the ER. During a phone interview on [DATE] at 7:52 AM RP stated her family member fell on [DATE] and it was a bad fall. She came that evening to see her family member and she had visible bruising to her face. The charge nurse told her the doctor had been notified and said to just watch her. She didn't think anything about it as she is not a medical person. A week or so went by (around [DATE]) and her family member was having headaches every day. Her family member would hold the left side of her head and say it hurts. She told the nurse on shift, and they would give her medicine. I didn't really think it was anything, but by the third day she knew something was wrong. On [DATE] the LVN D called the doctor, and he ordered a CT Scan. She thought they were going to take her that night, but LVN D came back about 30 minutes later and stated the doctor said it could wait until the next day. She asked the nurses every day for a week about the CT Scan and was told they were working on getting it scheduled. Her condition stayed the same with headaches and pain, but then her family member started not being as awake. The facility obtained a urinalysis. She was told her family member had a bad urinary tract infection and placed her in isolation. After that she began to not talk or make eye contact. She would just turn her head from side to side. This lasted for several days. When she asked, she was told it was probably just the bacteria infection. Then a few more days passed, then was called by the nurse, and told her family member was going to the ER. She saw her family member at the ER, and she was awake but unresponsive. She went to surgery and later died at the hospital. During an interview on [DATE] at 0848 the ADON stated he had been a LVN for 7 years and employed at facility as ADON for 5 months. He stated you are to report to the doctor any changes in condition. With a change in condition that is reported to the doctor you should give the doctor a full assessment including any falls in the last few weeks with new onsite neurological changes. I haven't had much training on neurological assessments but am currently retraining. If I have concerns, I should report to the DON. Regarding Resident #174 there was a breakdown in communication and the change in condition was not reported. The risk that can occur is hospitalization and even death. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:12 AM LVN F stated she had been an LVN for [AGE] years and employed with the facility almost a year. She stated communication occurs with the 24-hour report and if something remains on the report for more than 2 days it should be brought to the DON. Often in the past, things would be on the report for long times and even just drop off. If an order is received and specifies a date, then that order should be done on that date. If it is not, then the doctor should be notified along with the DON and family. LVN F did not remember any specific details related to Resident #174 but did remember being her nurse after she fell . It had been a while since receiving training reporting to MD immediately of changes in condition. The risk to residents could be significant to resident wellbeing.

The resident attempted but said she was not able to do it at that time and that she would try later. The nurse wrote she informed the DON of the resident's complaint. The DON informed the nurse the resident had been combative the day prior and she was assisted to bed. At 10:00 a.m. the nurse administered pain medication for the resident's complaint of back pain. At 10:30 a.m. the ambulance arrived to transfer the resident to the hospital for evaluation and possible psychiatric admission. A nurse's entry dated 8/29/14 at 11:00 p.m. indicated Resident #1 was sitting on side of bed visiting with another resident. There were no signs or symptoms of distress.

During an interview on 8/29/14 at 4:15 p.m., OTA B said OTA C called her and said she saw Resident #1 being mistreated. OTA B said she and OTA C went to check on Resident #1. The resident was sitting on the side of the bed, crying, and rubbing her foot. The resident said "they" took her wheelchair from her because "they" knew she could not get up without it. OTA B said she did not see the wheelchair in the resident's room. OTA B went on to say that Resident #1 was really upset. She said her foot was hurting and she hit her head when she was "thrown" in bed. OTA C told OTA B the DON forcefully took the resident to her room, along with LVN ADON. While, they were consoling the resident, Resident #1 said she needed to go to the bathroom. OTA B said when she looked in the bathroom the resident's wheelchair was in there. OTA B said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital this morning (8/29/14) because the DON said she was combative. OTA B said she had never known Resident #1 to be combative. Resident #1 was placed on the stretcher. She was still in her night gown. OTA B said Resident #1 was always dressed and put together. Resident #1 was upset and yelling that she did not want to go. OTA B said she heard the DON say, "It's all because of me." OTA B said everyone was watching and no one said anything. The DON called a meeting after Resident #1 left. The DON told staff that she and the LVN ADON had not hurt the resident. She told everyone that she did not want to hear any more about it and if she did, she would fire that person. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 5:00 p.m., the Activity Director (AD) said on 8/28/14 Resident #1 wanted her medicated mouthwash because she had mouth pain. LVN A told Resident #1 the medication was discontinued. Resident #1 went to the DON and the DON had the LVN ADON call and get it refilled. Later, the resident overheard LVN A say they did not have the mouthwash. Resident #1 became upset. Resident #1 grabbed LVN A's arm and he pulled away from her. Resident #1 was circling the medication cart to get to the LVN. The AD said she went and got the DON. The resident was at the medication room, kicking the door. The DON attempted to wheel the resident back to her room. The resident put her feet down and the DON tilted the wheelchair back. The resident said the DON broke her leg. The DON said, "I'm not going to deal with this." The DON called the LVN ADON to help put the resident to bed. The AD said the LVN ADON was at the nurses' station. The AD said Resident #1 kept saying she was not ready to go to bed. The AD said the resident was crying and upset. She was "scared." The AD said as the DON was taking the resident down the hall the resident was reaching back, trying to fight the DON. The DON took the palm of her hand and pushed the resident's chest to push her back in the chair. The AD began to cry during the interview. She said the resident was trying to hit the DON and called her a "fat [***] ." The resident said her leg was caught under the seat of the wheelchair while the DON was pushing it. The resident said the DON had broken her leg. The DON took the resident down the hall on two wheels. The DON had to stop along the way because the resident was fighting her. Resident #1 asked to talk to the AD after the events and asked the AD if she was against her. The resident was crying. Resident #1 told the AD she was thrown in bed against the wall. The AD said she went and told the DON the allegation. The DON said it was not true. The AD said the resident said her back, leg, and arms were hurt. The AD said she saw little areas on the resident's arms. She said they looked like little areas similar to how someone's arms look when they were taking certain medications. The AD said she had never seen areas like that on the resident's arms before. The AD said she saw the DON in the administrator's office, so she assumed the DON told the administrator what happened. The DON had a meeting and told everyone if they spoke about what happened they would be fired. The DON told everyone that was a threat. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 5:54 p.m., LVN A said he had been employed at the facility since the second week in July 2014. He said Resident #1 had problems with her jaw. When the resident went to the dentist, the dentist ordered [MEDICATION NAME] mouthwash. When the resident finished the initial bottle, she wanted more because she thought it helped. The resident went back to the dentist and she came back with more, but it was the over-the-counter [MEDICATION NAME]. LVN A said that bottle was finished Friday or Monday (8/22/14 or 8/25/14). LVN A said on Tuesday (8/26/14) the MA said the resident was asking for the [MEDICATION NAME]. LVN A said he tried to explain to the resident that she was out. LVN A said the LVN ADON called the dentist and got a third bottle. On 8/28/14 the MA asked him for clarification on the order. The resident rolled up and was confrontational. The resident wanted the entire bottle to keep in her room. LVN A said the resident grabbed his arm with both hands. The AD diverted the resident's attention. LVN A said he went to the DON's office and told her what was going on. The DON and LVN ADON, who was also in the office, said they would handle it. LVN A said at that point he went to the nurses' station to complete paperwork. The MA had the medication cart at the nurses' station and the resident wanted the bottle. The MA went into the medication room and the resident kicked the door and yelled. LVN A said he was worried because the resident had a broken foot. He said the DON and LVN ADON tried to talk to the resident. LVN A said the DON and LVN ADON took the resident down the hall but he did not see it. LVN A said he felt bad because he was not involved in trying to redirect the resident, but the resident did not like him, so he thought it was best to stay out of it. LVN A said he did not go into the resident's room the rest of the night. He had the MA check on her. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 6:14 p.m., MA D said on 8/28/14 sometime after 3:00 p.m. Resident #1 was asking about her mouthwash. She told the resident she did not have any. While she was giving medications to another resident, the MA pulled some bottles out of the medicine cart. There was a bottle of [MEDICATION NAME] with Resident #1's name on it. Resident #1 saw the bottle and wanted it. MA D said it was not on the MAR. She took the medicine cart to the nurses' station to ask LVN A about it. The resident grabbed LVN A's arm and the LVN walked away. MA D said Resident #1 still wanted the mouthwash. She said she went to the medication room. The resident was knocking on the door. The RN ADON was trying to talk to the resident. The RN ADON entered the medication room and MA D said she explained to her what was going on. The RN ADON went out of the medication room to talk to the resident, who then kicked the door. MA D said there was a therapist there (OTA C). The resident grabbed onto the handrail. MA D said OTA C was trying to talk to the resident. The DON came up and told the resident to listen to her. The DON tried to get the resident's hands off the handrail. The DON said she was going to put the resident to bed. The resident put her feet down and said she did not want to go to bed. The DON pulled the wheelchair back so the resident could not put her feet down. MA D said it just escalated from there. MA D said she went into the resident's room afterwards with CNA E. Resident #1 said someone "threw her around the bed and grabbed her arms." MA D said the resident's arms had bruises. MA D said she told LVN A about the bruises. MA D said she did not remember seeing the resident's wheelchair in her room. She said she knew the resident used it to get up to the bathroom. MA D said CNA E told her she was in the room when the DON and LVN ADON put the resident in bed. CNA E told MA D the two had "flung" the resident in the bed. CNA E told MA D she would not want anyone to treat her mother or grandmother that way. MA D began crying during the interview and said that it had bothered her. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 6:45 p.m., the business office manager (BOM) said on 8/28/14 she heard Resident #1 screaming. She went to the resident and asked what was wrong. Resident #1 told the BOM, "That man (LVN A) is mean to me." The BOM said this was around 3:30 p.m. She went to the DON and told her what Resident #1 said. The DON told the BOM that Resident #1 was "cycling." The BOM said she left the building around 5:00 p.m. and the incident happened after that. The BOM said when she arrived at the building on 8/29/14 the ambulance was taking Resident #1 out. The resident was screaming not to break her leg. The DON called a meeting at about 10:20-10:30 a.m. She announced over the loudspeaker for all staff to come to the conference room. At the meeting, the DON told the staff, "I want this to stop right now." She told the staff Resident #1 was "cycling" and they were trying to get a urinalysis on her. She went on to tell the staff if she heard talk about it, the staff would be fired. The BOM said the AD and administrator were in the meeting and they were both crying. The DON said there was an episode with Resident #1 last night and the resident tried to turn over the medication cart. The DON said she had to lift the wheelchair. She went on to tell the staff there were no bruises on the resident. The BOM said one of the MAs asked the DON about LVN A aggravating the resident for the last two weeks. The DON said the resident was "cycling." The administrator told everyone the resident was sick and they were trying to get her help. The DON talked interrupted the administrator and would not let her talk. The DON went on to tell the staff they would be terminated if they talked about it and, "If you want to take that as a threat, take it as a threat." The BOM said she thought the DON was an excellent nurse, but she talked rough with the residents and staff. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 7:12 p.m., LVN F said she worked the evening of 8/28/14, but she, "did not see a lot." She said the resident was "exceedingly upset." LVN F said Resident #1 would get upset at times, but it was not often. Resident #1 was really mad at LVN A, but she did not know why. LVN F said she was told Resident #1 kicked the medication room door. LVN F said she heard Resident #1 talking loud and sounded angry. LVN A told her, "Your baby is mad at me." LVN F said the therapy people came and got her and wanted her to look at the resident's arms. She said there were three bruises on Resident #1's left arm that were "reminiscent of finger marks", but the resident had frail skin. The resident was complaining of foot pain, but there was no sign of injury. Resident #1 told LVN F "they" jerked her. The resident said, "They picked me up and chunked me in the bed." The resident did not say who they were. LVN F said Resident #1 was angrier than she had ever seen her. LVN F said she would consider what happened to Resident #1 abuse. She said she told the RN ADON. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 7:30 p.m., the RN ADON said Resident #1 told her the MA would not give her medication. The RN ADON entered the medication room to talk to the MA. The MA explained about the mouthwash. When the RN ADON opened the door of the medication room to come out, the resident tried to get into the room. She said she tried to calm the resident down, but she was screaming. The DON came up and tried to explain to the resident. The DON pulled the wheelchair away from the door. The resident was hollering. The RN ADON said the DON was normally loud. Resident #1 was swinging at the DON over her shoulders. The RN ADON said the DON lifted the wheelchair because the resident was putting her feet down. The RN ADON said she only saw the DON do it for a few feet then the RN ADON left. The LVN ADON and a CNA were with the DON. The RN ADON said no one reported bruises to her. The RN ADON said the resident was sent to the hospital the morning of 8/29/14. She said she heard Resident #1 yelling, but she was making rounds with a physician and did not see what was going on. She said Resident #1 had been escalating a couple of weeks. She said the resident threw some plates Sunday (8/24/14). She said they had talked to the family and had gotten an order for [REDACTED]. The RN ADON said she called the emergency room at 6:00 p.m. and was told the resident would not do a voluntary commitment, so they were waiting on the mental health authority to come and do an evaluation. The RN ADON said she would not have handled the situation the way the DON had. During an interview on 8/29/14 at 7:52 p.m., the LVN ADON said LVN A told her Resident #1 wanted him to stay away from her. LVN ADON said she told LVN A to leave her alone. The AD came and told her and the DON on 8/28/14 that Resident #1 was chasing LVN A around the medication cart. LVN ADON said she asked, "Why is he near her?" The LVN ADON said later she came out of the conference room and the resident was holding onto the handrail. The DON was telling her to let go of the rail and that she was going to hurt herself. The LVN ADON said she, the DON and a CNA took the resident to her room. She said they put the resident into bed and she sat on the bed beside the resident.

She described the physical characteristics of LVN A. The resident said the bones "were working out" on the right side of her jaw. She went to the dentist and he gave her a mouthwash. Resident #1 said the mouthwash helped her a lot. She wanted to keep it in her room because she did not always get it the way she was supposed to. Resident #1 said she was talking to someone about her mouthwash and "she walked up behind me and got a hold of my wheelchair." Resident #1 said "she" (the DON) was yelling at her, saying she did not have a broken leg. "She threw me backwards in the chair and shook me in it. There was nothing I could do. They slung me out of the chair and against the wall." The resident showed her arms to the surveyor and pointed out bruises to both arms. The resident pointed to areas on her left arm and said, "This is where she dug her nails in my arm." There were 3 areas to the resident's left arm that each measured approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. They were reddish-purple in color. Resident #1 said her wheelchair was taken away and put in the bathroom because they knew she could not get up without it. The resident said this was the first time something like this happened to her. She said she knew she said some things that she should not have said. "You know how you say things when you are upset."

She said she had a good rapport with the resident and she thought she could calm her. She said Resident #1 was talking loud, but she was not hitting. OTA C said she approached the resident and began rubbing her back and bent down to talk her when the DON walked up behind her and said, "I've had enough of you. You're going to bed." Resident #1 grabbed the handrails and the DON forcibly removed the resident's hands. OTA C said she was in shock. The DON took the resident down the hallway very quickly and the resident's broken foot (the right one) was drug under the chair. The resident hollered that the DON was breaking her foot. The DON then tilted the wheelchair back on two wheels. OTA C said the resident and DON yelled at each other. A CNA and the LVN ADON followed the DON to the resident's room. OTA C said she heard the LVN ADON say that Resident #1 had been "acting up all day." OTA C said she was standing in the hallway and she heard this "gut curling scream." She went into another resident's room and shut the door because she was afraid. She said she called OTA B and told her what she saw. Once OTA B arrived, the staff had left Resident #1's room. The two OTAs entered the resident's room and found her sitting on the side of the bed, trying to get up. The resident told them that her wheelchair had been taken away. OTA C said the resident was crying and never tried to fight her or OTA B. OTA C said the next morning, her and OTA B go to check on Resident #1. She was lying in bed, crying.

During an interview on 8/31/14 at 9:35 a.m., CNA G said she worked the morning of 8/29/14. CNA G said Resident #1 was "...an angel. I love her to death." CNA G said right before lunch at about 10:45 a.m. she heard someone hollering and she ran to where it was coming from. CNA G said she saw Resident #1 on a stretcher with her wrists tied down with a sheet. There were two emergency medical service personnel, the DON and the administrator with the resident. Resident #1 asked CNA G if she would help her. CNA G said she told the resident to calm down. She said the resident was crying. CNA G said Resident #1 was yelling the whole time they took her out of the facility. The CNA began to cry during the interview. She said Resident #1 yelled at the DON, "Get that [***] away from me." CNA G said Resident #1 was not a violent or aggressive and for her to act like that, something had to have happened. CNA G said she wondered if LVN A had done something to provoke Resident #1 because she was not like that with everyone else. During an interview on 8/31/14 at 9:55 a.m., LVN H said a CNA told her the resident was crying the morning of 8/29/14. The CNA said the resident was saying the "head person" in the red shirt threw her in bed. LVN H said there were three people that wore red shirts: DON, LVN ADON, and RN ADON. She said the nurses wore blue, the CNAs wore maroon, and the MAs wore light blue. LVN H said she went to talk to the resident and she was not crying at that time. The resident first accused her of being one of them. LVN H said after she talked to the resident for a bit, the resident apologized for thinking she was one of them. LVN H said Resident #1 told her, "I admit I said some things to the big guy on 2-10, but they didn't have to throw me in bed." LVN H said the resident had some bruises that were red to the tops of both of her arms. The resident also complained of back pain and requested pain medication. LVN H said when she left the room, she met the DON in the hall and told her the resident's allegation. The DON said it did not happen. The DON said there were witnesses and she had gotten an order to send the resident to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The LVN said she returned to the resident's room with something for pain and told her about going to the hospital. The resident said she did not want to go to the hospital. LVN H said the resident was not mean; she just did not want to go. LVN H said she told the social worker who went and talked to the DON. The DON said the resident had to go. LVN H said it upset her because the resident was confused at times, but she was "at herself" enough to refuse going to the hospital. When the emergency medical technicians arrived, they went and talked to Resident #1. They came back to the nurses' station and said the resident refused to go. The DON and administrator went to the resident's room. LVN H said she heard the resident yell. LVN H said it was a very emotional day. She said the DON said the resident was having behaviors, but she had not seen it. She said the DON asked her why she was not charting the behaviors. She said she told her she did not document behaviors because she had not seen the resident exhibit any behaviors. All the behaviors seemed to occur when LVN A worked. During an interview on 9/01/14 at 10:40 a.m., the administrator said she was told the DON had a lot of experience and she could learn a lot from her. She said there was a power struggle between her and the DON. She said the problem began when she hired a RN as the ADON. She thought maybe the DON felt threatened. Now, staff was coming to her and saying the DON told them not to go to administrator with anything. The administrator said she asked the DON to take some time off because she was at the facility all the time. During an interview on 8/31/14 at 8:45 a.m., the administrator was informed of the presence of an Immediate Jeopardy in the area of abuse. The facility's plan of removal was accepted on 8/31/14 at 4:50 p.m. and included: "How will the facility correct the deficient practice for those residents identified in the deficiency? The DON and ADON have been terminated. Counseling inservice with the current Abuse Coordinator on identifying and addressing an (sic) noted patterns or trends related to abuse and neglect. All staff who had prior knowledge of abuse/neglect and failed to report it to the Abuse Coordinator will be formally counseled in writing and will be held accountable for following the policy for the prohibition of abuse and neglect. All residents currently in the facility have been interviewed and any incidents related to abuse or neglect have been self-report when indicated. All residents who have a DNR have been assessed for any change in condition-all residents are currently stable. How will the facility identify those at risk for similar deficient practice? All residents in the facility have the potential to be affected. What will be done to prevent the deficient practice from recurring? ALL facility staff will be inserviced on the Abuse/Neglect policy and will demonstrate proficiency through return demonstration prior to returning to their current positions within the facility. All staff will be inserviced on Senior Care's policy on retaliation. Any staff member who is found to have violated wither policy will be immediately suspended pending investigation. The administrator and social worker will convene a resident council meeting and will educate residents on the abuse prohibition policy and retaliation, including where to find names and numbers of who to contact. All nursing staff will be inserviced on identifying, assessment, and notification of change in condition for ALL residents (full code or DNR). How will facility monitor its own corrective action? This process improvement plan will be reviewed monthly at QAPI. Inservice training via SilverChair (online learning resource) will continue to be done on hire of all new facility staff and annually thereafter. This will include a post test." 2.

Looks at resident and says 'she's just tired this is normal for her.' We tried to argue that it wasn't, but she told us to lay her down and let her rest. Notified nurse (LVN J) of what happened." The nurses' notes for Resident #5 dated [DATE]-[DATE] indicated the following blood pressure readings: [DATE]-,[DATE] [DATE]-,[DATE] [DATE]-,[DATE] [DATE]-,[DATE] A physician's telephone order dated [DATE] indicated to admit Resident #4 to hospice with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:15 p.m., the daughter of Resident #4 was visiting with her mother in her room. The daughter said she was upset because something happened to her mother on Sunday ([DATE]). She said a nurse called her at home about 11:30 a.m. and said her mother had an episode. She said she did not know what that meant, because an episode could be anything. She said she saw her mother at 5:30 p.m. and she was drooling and her right eye was turned outward. The daughter said the DON would not let the nurses call the doctor and told them to put her in bed. The daughter said her mother had been at the hospital for about 14 days and came back to the facility on [DATE]. The daughter said her mother is on hospice now and she felt her mother was not given the proper attention and the doctor should have been called. During an observation on [DATE] at 3:15 p.m., Resident #4 was in bed. She looked at the surveyor and gave simple yes or no answers. Her right eye was partially closed. The resident's daughter asked if she was in pain and the resident nodded her head. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:50 a.m., LVN L said she was getting the residents ready for lunch on [DATE]. Resident #4 was in the dining room. When she looked at her, she noticed her tongue was rolled, her eyes were pointing in different directions, and she had her bottom dentures clenched in her hand. LVN L said she could not get the resident to respond. Resident #4's nurse was busy so she asked LVN K to look at the resident with her. The resident's CNA was also available to look at her. LVN L said LVN K was "freaking out." CNA M said Resident #4 did not look like that when she brought her to the dining room. LVN L said she had seen the resident earlier that day and she was humming and smiling. The DON walked by and asked what was going on. LVN L said the DON asked, "What's wrong with her?" LVN L replied, "Can't you see her eyes?" The DON said that was normal for Resident #4 and to put her in bed. LVN L said they put Resident #4 to bed and checked her vital signs. Her blood pressure was ,[DATE]. LVN L said she told her nurse and told her to call the family. LVN L said she saw Resident #4 a couple of days later and one of her eyes was wide and fixed and the other eye was barely open, but the resident did smile. LVN L said she thought the resident should have been sent to the hospital. LVN L said the DON did not care about residents that had a DNR. LVN L said if a resident had pneumonia and the nurse sent the resident to the hospital, the DON would ask the nurse why the resident was sent to the hospital because the person was a DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:41 a.m., LVN K said she was working [DATE] when LVN L came and asked her to look at Resident #4. LVN K said the resident's eyes did not look right. The resident's nurse was busy, so the DON was told. The DON looked at the resident and said she always looked like that. LVN K said she would have remembered if the resident's eyes normally looked like that. LVN K said she next saw Resident #4 on Wednesday or Thursday ([DATE] or [DATE]) and she looked like she had a stroke because she had facial drooping. LVN K said if Resident #4 had been her resident she would have called the doctor despite what the DON said. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:20 a.m., CNA M said on [DATE] she saw Resident #4 in the dining room. CNA M said it looked like the resident had a stroke. The resident's hand and mouth were "twisted." CNA M said the DON told them to put the resident to bed and "people always assuming things." CNA M further described Resident #4's appearance as her left arm was contracted; her mouth was crooked; and her head was shifted. CNA M said Resident #4 was normal earlier in the day. CNA M said she heard one of the nurses say that since the resident was a DNR they were not supposed to send them out. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:13 a.m., LVN J said there was an incident Sunday. The LVN said Resident #4 was her resident, but she was busy with another resident and another LVN (LVN L) and the DON assessed her. The DON's perception was that the resident was okay. The other LVN took Resident #4's vital signs and they were a little elevated, but that was normal for her. LVN J said when she saw the resident her right grip was a little weaker than the left, she could follow commands, and her right eye was turned to far to the right all that could be seen was the white of her eye. LVN J said the resident returned to normal later that day. When she left work that day, the resident was normal. She next returned to work Tuesday ([DATE]) and Resident #4 would not eat and she was on hospice. LVN J said as of yesterday ([DATE]) the resident was back to normal. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:35 a.m., CNA G said the DON would not send residents that had a DNR out to the hospital. "Like if they have a [MEDICAL CONDITION], (the DON) says don't send them out." During an interview on [DATE] at 8:25 p.m., the MDS coordinator said if concerns were brought to the DON about a resident that was a DNR, the DON would say, "It's ok, she's going (dying) anyway." The DON had a death list. The death list contained the names of residents who were older or were DNR. The MDS coordinator said the DON would say, "They're on my death list." It made it sound like the residents did not receive the same services if they had a DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 8:43 p.m., LVN N said the DON would comment that a resident with a DNR was going to die anyway. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:50 a.m., the administrator said she heard the DON refer to the death list. She said she asked the DON more than once to refer it to as an Angel List. The administrator said this was the way to keep up with residents who were not dying so the staff could focus more on that resident. The administrator said she heard, at least once, the DON say that a resident was a DNR and was dying anyway. The administrator said she thought the DON was referring to residents who were receiving hospice services and the DON was telling the signs of the resident's imminent passing. "That's my fault for trusting her." The administrator began crying and said, "It never crossed my mind that someone would do that in long-term care." During an interview on [DATE] at 4:23 p.m., LVN O said she heard the DON questioning other nurses why they were sending a resident to the hospital because they were a DNR. LVN O said months ago a resident was sent to the hospital. The resident's daughter came to the facility and the DON told the daughter her father should not have been sent to the hospital because he was a DNR. LVN O said the daughter became very angry and said DNR did not mean do not treat. The DON told the daughter then she should make her father a full code. LVN O said if she felt someone needed to go to the hospital she called the family. If the family wanted the resident sent to the hospital, then she sent them and documented it was done at family request. An Abuse Prohibition policy effective [DATE] indicated "Each resident has a right to be free from mistreatment, neglect and misappropriation of property." During an interview on [DATE] at 8:45 a.m., the administrator was informed of the presence of an Immediate Jeopardy in the area of neglect. The facility's plan of removal was accepted on [DATE] at 4:50 p.m. and included: "How will the facility correct the deficient practice for those residents identified in the deficiency? The DON and ADON have been terminated. Counseling inservice with the current Abuse Coordinator on identifying and addressing an (sic) noted patterns or trends related to abuse and neglect. All staff who had prior knowledge of abuse/neglect and failed to report it to the Abuse Coordinator will be formally counseled in writing and will be held accountable for following the policy for the prohibition of abuse and neglect. All residents currently in the facility have been interviewed and any incidents related to abuse or neglect have been self-report when indicated. All residents who have a DNR have been assessed for any change in condition-all residents are currently stable. How will the facility identify those at risk for similar deficient practice? All residents in the facility have the potential to be affected. What will be done to prevent the deficient practice from recurring? ALL facility staff will be inserviced on the Abuse/Neglect policy and will demonstrate proficiency through return demonstration prior to returning to their current positions within the facility. All staff will be inserviced on Senior Care's policy on retaliation. Any staff member who is found to have violated wither policy will be immediately suspended pending investigation. The administrator and social worker will convene a resident council meeting and will educate residents on the abuse prohibition policy and retaliation, including where to find names and numbers of who to contact. All nursing staff will be inserviced on identifying, assessment, and notification of change in condition for ALL residents (full code or DNR). How will facility monitor its own corrective action? This process improvement plan will be reviewed monthly at QAPI. Inservice training via SilverChair (online learning resource) will continue to be done on hire of all new facility staff and annually thereafter. This will include a post test." The surveyors confirmed the Plan of Removal had been implemented sufficiently to remove the Immediate Jeopardy by: Seven CNAs, five LVNs, Rehabilitation Director, Activity Director, MA, Dietary Manager, and the Business Office Manager were interviewed and were able to define neglect and how to report it. The five LVNs verbalized what to do if a resident had a change in condition and how a DNR would impact their interventions. Staff was in-serviced prior to assuming their duties on [DATE] and [DATE]. In-service sign-in sheets were provided, which contained the signatures of staff working [DATE] and [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:48 p.m., the administrator said the DON was suspended related to this incident. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:50 a.m., the administrator said the DON was terminated. On [DATE] at 2:15 p.m., the administrator was informed the IJ was removed; however the facility remained out of compliance at widespread potential for more than minimal harm due to the facility's need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. The CMS 672 form completed [DATE] indicated the census was 95.

F225L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving mistreatment, neglect, or abuse, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident property were reported immediately to the administrator of the facility for 3 of 16 residents reviewed for abuse and neglect. (Resident #s 1, 4, and 3) Resident #1 was denied her medicated mouthwash by LVN A on [DATE]. The resident became angry and the DON and ADON forced the resident to bed during the late afternoon hour. Resident #1 was thrown into the bed by the DON grabbing her legs and the LVN ADON grabbing her left arm. The resident's wheelchair was taken away from her so she could not get up. On [DATE] the resident was forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. She was tied down to the stretcher. The resident was crying the night of [DATE] and did not eat her supper. She complained of hitting her head, back and foot. This incident was not reported to the administrator. Resident #4, who had a DNR directive and had significant neurological and physiological changes and did not receive medical attention. Two LVNs (K and L) and one CNA (M) recognized these changes were not normal for Resident #4. The DON instructed the staff to put the resident in bed to rest. The DON did not want residents with a DNR directive sent to the hospital. The facility did not intervene on the resident's behalf by sending to the hospital or contacting the physician. LVN A had attempted to make Resident #3 go to the dining room. When the resident yelled at the nurse that he did not want to go, the nurse pointed his finger in the resident's face and told him not to speak to him that way. This incident was not reported to the administrator. The facility's Abuse Prevention policy contained to notify the supervisor of abuse or neglect. The supervisor would then notify the director of nurses and/or the administrator. The policy did not state the administrator had to be notified of all allegations of abuse or neglect. An Immediate Jeopardy situation was identified on [DATE]. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE]. The facility remained out of compliance at widespread potential for more than minimal harm due to the facility's need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. This failure could place the census of 95 residents at risk for physical injury, loss of self-worth, despair, a decline in condition without medical intervention, or death. Findings included: 1. Physician orders [REDACTED].#1, admitted [DATE], was [AGE] years-old, with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The orders also indicated the resident received counseling services, which was originally ordered [DATE]. A quarterly MDS with an assessment reference date of [DATE] indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition, no signs of [MEDICAL CONDITION], no adverse moods, and no behaviors. Nurse's note entry dated [DATE] at 6:25 p.m. and written by LVN ADON indicated she called Resident #1's daughter and informed her the resident was "lashing out" at the nurse and being paranoid about things like people talking behind her back. The daughter told the nurse her mother had these episodes at times and she would try to talk to her. The LVN ADON documented the resident was in her room at that time and there were no signs and symptoms of distress. The next nurse's entry was dated [DATE] at 6:00 p.m. (but documented after the 6:25 p.m. entry) indicated there was a new order for urinalysis. Resident #1 refused to give a specimen at that time. There were no other nursing notes for [DATE]. The next nurse's entry dated [DATE] at 9:30 a.m. indicated Resident #1 refused to come out of her room. The resident said, "I am going to stay in my room where I am safe." The resident told the nurse, "Your head nurse and some other people threw me in the bed." The nurse documented the resident complained of back pain. The resident pointed to two discolorations on her arms and said that was what was done to her. She documented there was active range of motion to all extremities and then asked the resident for a urine specimen. The resident attempted but said she was not able to do it at that time and that she would try later. The nurse wrote she informed the DON of the resident's complaint. The DON informed the nurse the resident had been combative the day prior and she was assisted to bed. At 10:00 a.m. the nurse administered pain medication for the resident's complaint of back pain. At 10:30 a.m. the ambulance arrived to transfer the resident to the hospital for evaluation and possible psychiatric admission. A nurse's entry dated [DATE] at 11:00 p.m. indicated Resident #1 was sitting on side of bed visiting with another resident. There were no signs or symptoms of distress. A progress note for counseling services dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 said she was doing "pretty good." The resident said she had been in some pain, which escalated her anxiety. The resident was also worried about her brother's health. The counselor documented the resident had positive responses to the support. The Psychoactive Behavior Monitoring for [DATE] for Resident #1 indicated "No behaviors observed" was initialed every day and every shift from [DATE]-[DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:30 p.m., Resident #2 said she lived on the same hall as Resident #1. Resident #2 said she heard staff raise her voice to Resident #1. She said staff also hurt Resident #1's foot. Resident #2 said she saw Resident #1 get mad at LVN A because he would not give her medication. Resident #2 said LVN A told Resident #1 to shut up. Resident #1 told the LVN not to tell her to shut up. Resident #1 then tried to go into the medication room and the MA shut the door. The resident was kicking the door. The DON came out of her office and said she was taking Resident #1 to bed. Resident #1 said she did not want to go to bed. Resident #2 said the DON dug her nails into Resident #1's arms. She said 3 or 4 staff went into Resident #1's room. Resident #2 said she stayed with Resident #1 after the staff left because she was crying and upset. She said the staff hurt her. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:15 p.m., OTA B said OTA C called her and said she saw Resident #1 being mistreated. OTA B said she and OTA C went to check on Resident #1. The resident was sitting on the side of the bed, crying, and rubbing her foot. The resident said "they" took her wheelchair from her because "they" knew she could not get up without it. OTA B said she did not see the wheelchair in the resident's room. OTA B went on to say that Resident #1 was really upset. She said her foot was hurting and she hit her head when she was "thrown" in bed. OTA C told OTA B the DON forcefully took the resident to her room, along with LVN ADON. While, they were consoling the resident, Resident #1 said she needed to go to the bathroom. OTA B said when she looked in the bathroom the resident's wheelchair was in there. OTA B said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital this morning ([DATE]) because the DON said she was combative. OTA B said she had never known Resident #1 to be combative. Resident #1 was placed on the stretcher. She was still in her night gown. OTA B said Resident #1 was always dressed and put together. Resident #1 was upset and yelling that she did not want to go. OTA B said she heard the DON say, "It's all because of me." OTA B said everyone was watching and no one said anything. The DON called a meeting after Resident #1 left. The DON told staff that she and the LVN ADON had not hurt the resident. She told everyone that she did not want to hear any more about it and if she did, she would fire that person. During an interview on [DATE] at 5:00 p.m., the Activity Director (AD) said on [DATE] Resident #1 wanted her medicated mouthwash because she had mouth pain. LVN A told Resident #1 the medication was discontinued. Resident #1 went to the DON and the DON had the LVN ADON call and get it refilled. Later, the resident overheard LVN A say they did not have the mouthwash. Resident #1 became upset. Resident #1 grabbed LVN A's arm and he pulled away from her. Resident #1 was circling the medication cart to get to the LVN. The AD said she went and got the DON. The resident was at the medication room, kicking the door. The DON attempted to wheel the resident back to her room. The resident put her feet down and the DON tilted the wheelchair back. The resident said the DON broke her leg. The DON said, "I'm not going to deal with this." The DON called the LVN ADON to help put the resident to bed. The AD said the LVN ADON was at the nurses' station. The AD said Resident #1 kept saying she was not ready to go to bed. The AD said the resident was crying and upset. She was "scared." The AD said as the DON was taking the resident down the hall the resident was reaching back, trying to fight the DON. The DON took the palm of her hand and pushed the resident's chest to push her back in the chair. The AD began to cry during the interview. She said the resident was trying to hit the DON and called her a "fat [***] ." The resident said her leg was caught under the seat of the wheelchair while the DON was pushing it. The resident said the DON had broken her leg. The DON took the resident down the hall on two wheels. The DON had to stop along the way because the resident was fighting her. Resident #1 asked to talk to the AD after the events and asked the AD if she was against her. The resident was crying. Resident #1 told the AD she was thrown in bed against the wall. The AD said she went and told the DON the allegation. The DON said it was not true. The AD said the resident said her back, leg, and arms were hurt. The AD said she saw little areas on the resident's arms. She said they looked like little areas similar to how someone's arms look when they were taking certain medications. The AD said she had never seen areas like that on the resident's arms before. The AD said she saw the DON in the administrator's office, so she assumed the DON told the administrator what happened. The DON had a meeting and told everyone if they spoke about what happened they would be fired. The DON told everyone that was a threat. During an interview on [DATE] at 5:54 p.m., LVN A said he had been employed at the facility since the second week in [DATE]. He said Resident #1 had problems with her jaw. When the resident went to the dentist, the dentist ordered [MEDICATION NAME] mouthwash. When the resident finished the initial bottle, she wanted more because she thought it helped. The resident went back to the dentist and she came back with more, but it was the over-the-counter [MEDICATION NAME]. LVN A said that bottle was finished Friday or Monday ([DATE] or [DATE]). LVN A said on Tuesday ([DATE]) the MA said the resident was asking for the [MEDICATION NAME]. LVN A said he tried to explain to the resident that she was out. LVN A said the LVN ADON called the dentist and got a third bottle. On [DATE] the MA asked him for clarification on the order. The resident rolled up and was confrontational. The resident wanted the entire bottle to keep in her room. LVN A said the resident grabbed his arm with both hands. The AD diverted the resident ' s attention. LVN A said he went to the DON's office and told her what was going on. The DON and LVN ADON, who was also in the office, said they would handle it. LVN A said at that point he went to the nurses' station to complete paperwork. The MA had the medication cart at the nurses' station and the resident wanted the bottle. The MA went into the medication room and the resident kicked the door and yelled. LVN A said he was worried because the resident had a broken foot. He said the DON and LVN ADON tried to talk to the resident. LVN A said the DON and LVN ADON took the resident down the hall but he did not see it. LVN A said he felt bad because he was not involved in trying to redirect the resident, but the resident did not like him, so he thought it was best to stay out of it. LVN A said he did not go into the resident's room the rest of the night. He had the MA check on her. During an interview on [DATE] at 6:14 p.m., MA D said on [DATE] sometime after 3:00 p.m. Resident #1 was asking about her mouthwash. She told the resident she did not have any. While she was giving medications to another resident, the MA pulled some bottles out of the medicine cart. There was a bottle of [MEDICATION NAME] with Resident #1's name on it. Resident #1 saw the bottle and wanted it. MA D said it was not on the MAR. She took the medicine cart to the nurses' station to ask LVN A about it. The resident grabbed LVN A's arm and the LVN walked away. MA D said Resident #1 still wanted the mouthwash. She said she went to the medication room. The resident was knocking on the door. The RN ADON was trying to talk to the resident. The RN ADON entered the medication room and MA D said she explained to her what was going on. The RN ADON went out of the medication room to talk to the resident, who then kicked the door. MA D said there was a therapist there (OTA C). The resident grabbed onto the handrail. MA D said OTA C was trying to talk to the resident. The DON came up and told the resident to listen to her. The DON tried to get the resident's hands off the handrail. The DON said she was going to put the resident to bed. The resident put her feet down and said she did not want to go to bed. The DON pulled the wheelchair back so the resident could not put her feet down. MA D said it just escalated from there. MA D said she went into the resident's room afterwards with CNA E. Resident #1 said someone "threw her around the bed and grabbed her arms." MA D said the resident's arms had bruises. MA D said she told LVN A about the bruises. MA D said she did not remember seeing the resident's wheelchair in her room. She said she knew the resident used it to get up to the bathroom. MA D said CNA E told her she was in the room when the DON and LVN ADON put the resident in bed. CNA E told MA D the two had "flung" the resident in the bed. CNA E told MA D she would not want anyone to treat her mother or grandmother that way. MA D began crying during the interview and said that it had bothered her. During an interview on [DATE] at 6:45 p.m., the business office manager (BOM) said on [DATE] she heard Resident #1 screaming. She went to the resident and asked what was wrong. Resident #1 told the BOM, "That man (LVN A) is mean to me." The BOM said this was around 3:30 p.m. She went to the DON and told her what Resident #1 said. The DON told the BOM that Resident #1 was "cycling." The BOM said she left the building around 5:00 p.m. and the incident happened after that. The BOM said when she arrived at the building on [DATE] the ambulance was taking Resident #1 out. The resident was screaming not to break her leg. The DON called a meeting at about 10:,[DATE]:30 a.m. She announced over the loudspeaker for all staff to come to the conference room. At the meeting, the DON told the staff, "I want this to stop right now." She told the staff Resident #1 was "cycling" and they were trying to get a urinalysis on her. She went on to tell the staff if she heard talk about it, the staff would be fired. The BOM said the AD and administrator were in the meeting and they were both crying. The DON said there was an episode with Resident #1 last night and the resident tried to turn over the medication cart. The DON said she had to lift the wheelchair. She went on to tell the staff there were no bruises on the resident. The BOM said one of the MAs asked the DON about LVN A aggravating the resident for the last two weeks. The DON said the resident was "cycling." The administrator told everyone the resident was sick and they were trying to get her help. The DON talked interrupted the administrator and would not let her talk. The DON went on to tell the staff they would be terminated if they talked about it and, "If you want to take that as a threat, take it as a threat." The BOM said she thought the DON was an excellent nurse, but she talked rough with the residents and staff. During an interview on [DATE] at 7:12 p.m., LVN F said she worked the evening of [DATE], but she, "did not see a lot." She said the resident was "exceedingly upset." LVN F said Resident #1 would get upset at times, but it was not often. Resident #1 was really mad at LVN A, but she did not know why. LVN F said she was told Resident #1 kicked the medication room door. LVN F said she heard Resident #1 talking loud and sounded angry. LVN A told her, "Your baby is mad at me." LVN F said the therapy people came and got her and wanted her to look at the resident's arms. She said there were three bruises on Resident #1's left arm that were "reminiscent of finger marks", but the resident had frail skin. The resident was complaining of foot pain, but there was no sign of injury. Resident #1 told LVN F "they" jerked her. The resident said, "They picked me up and chunked me in the bed." The resident did not say who they were. LVN F said Resident #1 was angrier than she had ever seen her. LVN F said she would consider what happened to Resident #1 abuse. She said she told the RN ADON. During an interview on [DATE] at 7:30 p.m., the RN ADON said Resident #1 told her the MA would not give her medication. The RN ADON entered the medication room to talk to the MA. The MA explained about the mouthwash. When the RN ADON opened the door of the medication room to come out, the resident tried to get into the room. She said she tried to calm the resident down, but she was screaming. The DON came up and tried to explain to the resident. The DON pulled the wheelchair away from the door. The resident was hollering. The RN ADON said the DON was normally loud. Resident #1 was swinging at the DON over her shoulders. The RN ADON said the DON lifted the wheelchair because the resident was putting her feet down. The RN ADON said she only saw the DON do it for a few feet then the RN ADON left. The LVN ADON and a CNA were with the DON. The RN ADON said no one reported bruises to her. The RN ADON said the resident was sent to the hospital the morning of [DATE]. She said she heard Resident #1 yelling, but she was making rounds with a physician and did not see what was going on. She said Resident #1 had been escalating a couple of weeks. She said the resident threw some plates Sunday ([DATE]). She said they had talked to the family and had gotten an order for [REDACTED]. The RN ADON said she called the emergency room at 6:00 p.m. and was told the resident would not do a voluntary commitment, so they were waiting on the mental health authority to come and do an evaluation. The RN ADON said she would not have handled the situation the way the DON had. During an interview on [DATE] at 7:52 p.m., the LVN ADON said LVN A told her Resident #1 wanted him to stay away from her. LVN ADON said she told LVN A to leave her alone. The AD came and told her and the DON on [DATE] that Resident #1 was chasing LVN A around the medication cart. LVN ADON said she asked, "Why is he near her?" The LVN ADON said later she came out of the conference room and the resident was holding onto the handrail. The DON was telling her to let go of the rail and that she was going to hurt herself. The LVN ADON said she, the DON and a CNA took the resident to her room. She said they put the resident into bed and she sat on the bed beside the resident. The resident was reaching for her phone and pointing at the DON. The DON left the room. The LVN ADON said the CNA put the resident's wheelchair in the bathroom. She said at that point she left the room. The LVN ADON said she did not see any bruises on the resident's arms. She said she did not see the resident again. The LVN ADON said she called the doctor who ordered a urinalysis. During an observation on [DATE] at 8:12 a.m., Resident was #1 was in the dining room eating breakfast. She was sitting in a wheelchair. She was smiling and was pleasant. At this time, she agreed to speak to the surveyor when she finished her breakfast. During an interview on [DATE] at 8:23 a.m., Resident #1 said the man nurse (LVN A) would not give her mouthwash. She said the nurse had been here a short time and he did not know his name. She described the physical characteristics of LVN A. The resident said the bones "were working out" on the right side of her jaw. She went to the dentist and he gave her a mouthwash. Resident #1 said the mouthwash helped her a lot. She wanted to keep it in her room because she did not always get it the way she was supposed to. Resident #1 said she was talking to someone about her mouthwash and "she walked up behind me and got a hold of my wheelchair." Resident #1 said "she" (the DON) was yelling at her, saying she did not have a broken leg. "She threw me backwards in the chair and shook me in it. There was nothing I could do. They slung me out of the chair and against the wall." The resident showed her arms to the surveyor and pointed out bruises to both arms. The resident pointed to areas on her left arm and said, "This is where she dug her nails in my arm." There were 3 areas to the resident's left arm that each measured approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. They were reddish-purple in color. Resident #1 said her wheelchair was taken away and put in the bathroom because they knew she could not get up without it. The resident said this was the first time something like this happened to her. She said she knew she said some things that she should not have said. "You know how you say things when you are upset."

She said the nurses wore blue, the CNAs wore maroon, and the MAs wore light blue. LVN H said she went to talk to the resident and she was not crying at that time. The resident first accused her of being one of them. LVN H said after she talked to the resident for a bit, the resident apologized for thinking she was one of them. LVN H said Resident #1 told her, "I admit I said some things to the big guy on ,[DATE], but they didn't have to throw me in bed."

LVN H said the resident was not mean; she just did not want to go. LVN H said she told the social worker who went and talked to the DON. The DON said the resident had to go.

When the emergency medical technicians arrived, they went and talked to Resident #1. They came back to the nurses' station and said the resident refused to go. The DON and administrator went to the resident's room. LVN H said she heard the resident yell. LVN H said it was a very emotional day. She said the DON said the resident was having behaviors, but she had not seen it. She said the DON asked her why she was not charting the behaviors. She said she told her she did not document behaviors because she had not seen the resident exhibit any behaviors. All the behaviors seemed to occur when LVN A worked. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:40 a.m., the administrator said she was told the DON had a lot of experience and she could learn a lot from her. She said there was a power struggle between her and the DON. She said the problem began when she hired a RN as the ADON. She thought maybe the DON felt threatened. Now, staff is coming to her and saying the DON told them not to go to administrator with anything. The administrator said she asked the DON to take some time off because she was at the facility all the time. 2.

She said she had a good rapport with the resident and she thought she could calm her. She said Resident #1 was talking loud, but she was not hitting. OTA C said she approached the resident and began rubbing her back and bent down to talk her when the DON walked up behind her and said, "I've had enough of you. You're going to bed." Resident #1 grabbed the handrails and the DON forcibly removed the resident's hands. OTA C said she was in shock. The DON took the resident down the hallway very quickly and the resident's broken foot (the right one) was drug under the chair. The resident hollered that the DON was breaking her foot.

CNA G said Resident #1 was yelling the whole time they took her out of the facility. The CNA began to cry during the interview. She said Resident #1 yelled at the DON, "Get that [***] away from me." CNA G said Resident #1 was not a violent or aggressive and for her to act like that, something had to have happened. CNA G said she wondered if LVN A had done something to provoke Resident #1 because she was not like that with everyone else. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:55 a.m., LVN H said a CNA told her the resident was crying the morning of [DATE]. The CNA said the resident was saying the "head person" in the red shirt threw her in bed. LVN H said there were three people that wore red shirts: DON, LVN ADON, and RN ADON. She said the nurses wore blue, the CNAs wore maroon, and the MAs wore light blue. LVN H said she went to talk to the resident and she was not crying at that time. The resident first accused her of being one of them. LVN H said after she talked to the resident for a bit, the resident apologized for thinking she was one of them. LVN H said Resident #1 told her, "I admit I said some things to the big guy on ,[DATE], but they didn't have to throw me in bed." LVN H said the resident had some bruises that were red to the tops of both of her arms. The resident also complained of back pain and requested pain medication. LVN H said when she left the room, she met the DON in the hall and told her the resident's allegation. The DON said it did not happen. The DON said there were witnesses and she had gotten an order to send the resident to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The LVN said she returned to the resident's room with something for pain and told her about going to the hospital. The resident said she did not want to go to the hospital. LVN H said the resident was not mean; she just did not want to go. LVN H said she told the social worker who went and talked to the DON. The DON said the resident had to go. LVN H said it upset her because the resident was confused at times, but she was "at herself" enough to refuse going to the hospital. When the emergency medical technicians arrived, they went and talked to Resident #1. They came back to the nurses' station and said the resident refused to go. The DON and administrator went to the resident's room. LVN H said she heard the resident yell. LVN H said it was a very emotional day. She said the DON said the resident was having behaviors, but she had not seen it. She said the DON asked her why she was not charting the behaviors. She said she told her she did not document behaviors because she had not seen the resident exhibit any behaviors. All the behaviors seemed to occur when LVN A worked. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:40 a.m., the administrator said she was told the DON had a lot of experience and she could learn a lot from her. She said there was a power struggle between her and the DON. She said the problem began when she hired a RN as the ADON. She thought maybe the DON felt threatened. Now, staff is coming to her and saying the DON told them not to go to administrator with anything. The administrator said she asked the DON to take some time off because she was at the facility all the time. 2.

During an interview on [DATE] at 9:55 a.m., LVN H said a CNA told her the resident was crying the morning of [DATE]. The CNA said the resident was saying the "head person" in the red shirt threw her in bed. LVN H said there were three people that wore red shirts: DON, LVN ADON, and RN ADON. She said the nurses wore blue, the CNAs wore maroon, and the MAs wore light blue. LVN H said she went to talk to the resident and she was not crying at that time. The resident first accused her of being one of them. LVN H said after she talked to the resident for a bit, the resident apologized for thinking she was one of them. LVN H said Resident #1 told her, "I admit I said some things to the big guy on ,[DATE], but they didn't have to throw me in bed." LVN H said the resident had some bruises that were red to the tops of both of her arms. The resident also complained of back pain and requested pain medication. LVN H said when she left the room, she met the DON in the hall and told her the resident's allegation. The DON said it did not happen. The DON said there were witnesses and she had gotten an order to send the resident to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The LVN said she returned to the resident's room with something for pain and told her about going to the hospital. The resident said she did not want to go to the hospital. LVN H said the resident was not mean; she just did not want to go. LVN H said she told the social worker who went and talked to the DON. The DON said the resident had to go. LVN H said it upset her because the resident was confused at times, but she was "at herself" enough to refuse going to the hospital. When the emergency medical technicians arrived, they went and talked to Resident #1. They came back to the nurses' station and said the resident refused to go. The DON and administrator went to the resident's room. LVN H said she heard the resident yell. LVN H said it was a very emotional day. She said the DON said the resident was having behaviors, but she had not seen it. She said the DON asked her why she was not charting the behaviors. She said she told her she did not document behaviors because she had not seen the resident exhibit any behaviors. All the behaviors seemed to occur when LVN A worked. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:40 a.m., the administrator said she was told the DON had a lot of experience and she could learn a lot from her. She said there was a power struggle between her and the DON. She said the problem began when she hired a RN as the ADON. She thought maybe the DON felt threatened. Now, staff is coming to her and saying the DON told them not to go to administrator with anything. The administrator said she asked the DON to take some time off because she was at the facility all the time. 2.

The DON took the resident down the hallway very quickly and the resident's broken foot (the right one) was drug under the chair. The resident hollered that the DON was breaking her foot. The DON then tilted the wheelchair back on two wheels. OTA C said the resident and DON yelled at each other. A CNA and the LVN ADON followed the DON to the resident's room. OTA C said she heard the LVN ADON say that Resident #1 had been "acting up all day." OTA C said she was standing in the hallway and she heard this "gut curling scream." She went into another resident's room and shut the door because she was afraid. She said she called OTA B and told her what she saw. Once OTA B arrived, the staff had left Resident #1's room. The two OTAs entered the resident's room and found her sitting on the side of the bed, trying to get up. The resident told them that her wheelchair had been taken away. OTA C said the resident was crying and never tried to fight her or OTA B. OTA C said the next morning, her and OTA B go to check on Resident #1. She was lying in bed, crying. She said her back hurt from being thrown in bed. The OTAs left the room. She had heard the resident was sent to the hospital that morning. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:35 a.m., CNA G said she worked the morning of [DATE]. CNA G said Resident #1 was "...an angel. I love her to death." CNA G said right before lunch at about 10:45 a.m. she heard someone hollering and she ran to where it was coming from. CNA G said she saw Resident #1 on a stretcher with her wrists tied down with a sheet. There were two emergency medical service personnel, the DON and the administrator with the resident. Resident #1 asked CNA G if she would help her. CNA G said she told the resident to calm down. She said the resident was crying. CNA G said Resident #1 was yelling the whole time they took her out of the facility. The CNA began to cry during the interview. She said Resident #1 yelled at the DON, "Get that [***] away from me." CNA G said Resident #1 was not a violent or aggressive and for her to act like that, something had to have happened. CNA G said she wondered if LVN A had done something to provoke Resident #1 because she was not like that with everyone else. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:55 a.m., LVN H said a CNA told her the resident was crying the morning of [DATE]. The CNA said the resident was saying the "head person" in the red shirt threw her in bed. LVN H said there were three people that wore red shirts: DON, LVN ADON, and RN ADON. She said the nurses wore blue, the CNAs wore maroon, and the MAs wore light blue. LVN H said she went to talk to the resident and she was not crying at that time. The resident first accused her of being one of them. LVN H said after she talked to the resident for a bit, the resident apologized for thinking she was one of them. LVN H said Resident #1 told her, "I admit I said some things to the big guy on ,[DATE], but they didn't have to throw me in bed." LVN H said the resident had some bruises that were red to the tops of both of her arms. The resident also complained of back pain and requested pain medication. LVN H said when she left the room, she met the DON in the hall and told her the resident's allegation. The DON said it did not happen. The DON said there were witnesses and she had gotten an order to send the resident to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The LVN said she returned to the resident's room with something for pain and told her about going to the hospital. The resident said she did not want to go to the hospital. LVN H said the resident was not mean; she just did not want to go. LVN H said she told the social worker who went and talked to the DON. The DON said the resident had to go. LVN H said it upset her because the resident was confused at times, but she was "at herself" enough to refuse going to the hospital. When the emergency medical technicians arrived, they went and talked to Resident #1. They came back to the nurses' station and said the resident refused to go. The DON and administrator went to the resident's room. LVN H said she heard the resident yell. LVN H said it was a very emotional day. She said the DON said the resident was having behaviors, but she had not seen it. She said the DON asked her why she was not charting the behaviors. She said she told her she did not document behaviors because she had not seen the resident exhibit any behaviors. All the behaviors seemed to occur when LVN A worked. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:40 a.m., the administrator said she was told the DON had a lot of experience and she could learn a lot from her. She said there was a power struggle between her and the DON. She said the problem began when she hired a RN as the ADON. She thought maybe the DON felt threatened. Now, staff is coming to her and saying the DON told them not to go to administrator with anything. The administrator said she asked the DON to take some time off because she was at the facility all the time. 2.
