The repeated lab was scheduled to be drawn next on [DATE]. A bowel movement task flowsheet, dated [DATE] at 10:10 a.m., documented a change in the consistency of the resident's bowel movements to loose/diarrhea. This change of condition eventually progressed to multiple, persistent loose stools with incontinence daily. There was no documentation the physician had been notified of this change in condition. A bowel movement task flowsheet, dated [DATE], documented the resident had multiple episodes of diarrhea during the day (7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and evening (3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.) shifts.

A bowel movement task flowsheet, dated [DATE] at 8:33 p.m., documented the resident had an episode of diarrhea. The MAR (medication administration record) documented the resident was not given an additional dose of the [MEDICATION NAME] ordered every six hours as needed. The MAR indicated [REDACTED] The amount eaten task sheet, dated [DATE], documented the resident refused the evening meal. A bowel movement task flowsheet, dated [DATE], documented the resident had episodes of diarrhea on the day and evening shifts. The MAR indicated [REDACTED]. The amount eaten task sheet, dated [DATE], documented the resident refused the first two meals of the day. On [DATE], there was no documentation the second ordered lab sample had been collected for the ordered CBC and CMP. From [DATE] through [DATE], records reviewed were inconsistent for documentation of the frequency of the resident's incontinent episodes. Task flow sheets were reviewed for bowel incontinence, urinary incontinence and incontinent care. Twenty-one discrepancies of incontinent episodes were noted for lack of documentation. Only the minimum number of incontinent loose stools could be determined during each shift from the documentation. This affected the staff's ability to accurately assess the resident's current condition and recognize the need for physician notification and the implementation of interventions to address the resident's persistent episodes of loose stools. On [DATE] at 8:09 a.m., the resident was observed sitting in his bed with approximately three inches of loose brown liquid stool enclosed between his upper thighs. The room smelled strongly of bowel movement, and the top sheet covering the resident had an approximately three inch watery brown stain above the resident's upper thighs. The resident said, I need water. There was no water or other fluids for hydration observed in the resident's room and within his reach. At 8:48 a.m., CNA #3 (certified nurse aide) entered the room and said, You are covered (with bowel movement). She stated she had requested medication for his diarrhea more than once and asked the resident if he had been given anything. He said, No. She stated the resident was completely soaked and had not been changed all night. The resident said, I've been laying in pee and (explicit term for bowel movement) all night. CNA #3 was asked what made her think the resident had not been changed during the night. She stated it was not the first time the resident had been found in this condition after the night shift. During incontinent care two pink areas were observed on the resident's skin. One pink area was of an irregular shape about one square inch in area on the left buttock. The lower margin of the area was bright red. Additionally, an approximately one inch extension was noted in the crease of the gluteal fold. This area was noted to be bright red. A progress note, dated [DATE] at 2:08 p.m., documented, pt (patient) /family expressing a desire to go back to ER (emergency room ) rt (related to) congestion and sob (shortness of breath), pt/family feels like he may have pneumonia again, on observation pt noted w (with) labored abdominal breathing, lungs coarse with rhonchi . At 2:11 p.m., the resident's skin was observed during incontinent care with the wound care nurse. She described the pink areas as new areas of excoriation due to moisture. At 2:22 p.m., family members of the resident were interviewed. They stated the resident had not been getting the antidiarrheal medication he needed. They stated it took two or three days for him to get his medication. They stated the resident had told them his call light was not being answered on the weekend, and he had been in poop all weekend. They stated nights were the problem. Family member #2 stated the family was there to take the resident back to the hospital. He stated the resident was still not getting the care he needed. He stated they were afraid the resident had pneumonia. He stated the resident had recently started to refuse meals due to nausea. The MAR, dated [DATE], did not document any dose of the PRN antidiarrheal medication was provided to the resident for his persistent loose stools during the day shift. At 3:40 p.m., the resident stated he asked for diarrhea medication when people came to his room. He said, But they should know I needed it, too, when I'm having diarrhea in my bed and on the bedpan. A chest x-ray report, dated [DATE] at 3:42 p.m., documented the resident had central [MEDICAL CONDITION] venous congestion without overt [MEDICAL CONDITIONS] and no focal pneumonia evident by frontal view. A handwritten note documented the physician was notified of the results and ordered [MEDICATION NAME] (a diuretic) 80 mg times one dose. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. The amount eaten task sheet, dated [DATE] at 8:03 p.m., documented the resident refused all meals. There was no documentation in the resident's record the physician was notified the resident had been refusing meals since [DATE]. There was no documentation the resident's fluid intake and output were monitored since admission to the facility. A MAR, dated [DATE] at 10:45 p.m., documented 80 mg (milligrams) of [MEDICATION NAME] had been given intramuscularly. The medication had been administered over seven hours after it had been ordered by the physician when he was notified of the chest x-ray results. Observation of the emergency medicines and review of records documented a supply of [MEDICATION NAME] had been available in the emergency medication supply for immediate use. There was no further documentation the resident was assessed and monitored following the resident's change in respiratory status on [DATE] at 2:08 p.m. when the resident had been assessed with [REDACTED]. A late entry nurse's progress note, dated [DATE] at 3:04 a.m., documented at 12:18 a.m. the resident experienced respiratory distress. EMSA (emergency services) were called and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) was started. EMSA arrived a few minutes later and continued CPR for about one hour. Three doses of [MEDICATION NAME] (a medication to attempt to restart the heart) were given. At 12:58 a.m., the resident was pronounced dead. On [DATE] at 12:25 p.m., physician #1 was asked when he was first notified the resident was having loose stools. He stated he did not know, but once he was notified he ordered an antidiarrheal medication. He was asked if he realized the PRN antidiarrheal medication was not being given. He was surprised to learn this and said, They weren't? He was asked how it was known the resident was getting the proper amount of fluids, and he stated fluids were being monitored (they weren't). On [DATE] at 8:05 a.m., the DON was asked if the resident's second ordered CBC and CMP labs had been collected. The DON answered, No. The DON was asked what was expected from staff if a resident had a change in condition. She stated the doctor should be called, the change should be documented and the change should be reported to oncoming staff. The DON was asked what she expected staff to do when a resident changed from having formed stools to loose stools. She stated the staff was expected to call the doctor and get something for diarrhea. The DON was asked how the facility would know the resident was not dehydrated considering he had multiple loose stools. The DON stated they would have fluid at the bedside, push fluids, monitor for signs and symptoms of dehydration and call the doctor if needed. The DON was asked where was documentation of the resident's fluid intake. She stated there was none. The DON was asked if there was a policy for Intake and Output. She stated, No. At 9:18 a.m., the nurse practitioner was asked what she expected from staff when a resident experienced a change in condition. She stated she expected to be informed of the change so she could address the issue. She was asked if she expected to be informed of a change in consistency of a resident's stools. She said, Yes. She was asked when she was made aware the resident was experiencing loose stools. She stated she became aware on [DATE], but she was unsure of the time. She stated, once she knew about the loose stools, she gave an order for [REDACTED].>She was asked if she was aware that his antidiarrheal medication had not been given per orders. She stated, she was not. She stated she expected a medication to be given when she wrote an order. She stated it was important for the medication to be given as ordered, otherwise the resident's condition would progress and the resident might not recover. When asked, she stated diarrhea could lead to skin breakdown and dehydration. She was asked if the resident was likely to become dehydrated because of his persistent diarrhea. She stated because of the resident's medical conditions he walked a fine line between dehydration and fluid overload. She stated it was staff's responsibility to determine the number of stools a resident was having, the frequency of stools, and the consistency of stools and to report changes promptly. She stated his food and fluid intake would be important to know so he could be treated appropriately. She stated she had not been notified the resident had refused meals. She stated lab results would be important to help monitor for fluid balance. She acknowledged the physician ordered a steroid and a diuretic. She was asked if the administration of the medications were important to the resident's health. She stated if the medications were not given the resident could continue to decline and this could contribute to his death. On [DATE] at 3:00 p.m., the facility administrator was notified the facility failed to assess, monitor, and intervene for a resident who had a changes in condition. He acknowledged the concerns.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were not neglected and care was provided timely for three (#3, 9 and #10) of six sampled residents reviewed for neglect. For resident #3, there was a delayed notification of the physician when the resident's condition worsened. The physician ordered antidiarrheal medication, which was not administered as ordered and the resident's skin started breaking down. The physician ordered labs, which were never obtained. The resident's condition worsened and the physician ordered a diuretic medication, which took over 7 hours to administer. Also, records documented a lack of fluid intake monitoring during the time the resident experienced loose stools. On [DATE] at 12:58 a.m. the resident expired in the facility. The DON (director of nurses) identified 106 residents resided in the facility.

The note documented the resident was alert and only oriented to himself. The note also documented the resident was incontinent of bowel and bladder with weakness to upper and lower extremities. These notes were signed by registered nurse (RN) #1. A facility fall assessment, dated 06/26/15, documented the resident had a score of 40. A score above 25 indicated the resident was a fall risk. An admission assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident was not ambulatory and used a wheelchair. A care plan, dated 06/26/15, documented interventions which included: 1. The resident was to be monitored for adjustment issues. 2. Provide 24 hour reality orientation as needed. 3.

Inspection of November 22, 2013
1 findingBased on observation, record review and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to implement interventions to prevent a decline in range of motion for one (#7) of six sampled residents whose records were reviewed for range of motion. The facility identified 12 residents with contractures. This resulted in actual harm for the resident. This had the potential to affect twelve residents identified by the facility who had contractures. Findings: Resident #7 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A resident data collection form and a minimum data set (MDS) range of motion form, dated 10/05/12, documented the resident had contractures to the lower extremities. A restorative progress note, dated 10/10/12, documented the resident continued to have problem with her legs and needed to continue to work with restorative. Restorative progress notes, dated 10/19/12 and 10/26/12, documented the resident refused group exercise due to leg spasms. The restorative progress notes did not indicate range of motion was performed on the upper extremities. An MDS range of motion form, dated 01/14/13, documented the resident had contractures to her bilateral lower extremities. A significant change assessment, dated 03/28/13, documented the resident was able to be understood by others, was able to understand others and her cognition was moderately impaired. The assessment documented functional limitation in range of motion on both sides of her lower extremities. There were no days documented in which restorative therapy was utilized. A nurse's note, dated 04/07/13, documented, "...She is unable to open her fists w/o (without) crying out in pain..." There was no documentation in the clinical record to indicate the resident had a decreased range of motion in the right hand. The care plan, dated 04/08/13, did not address the contracture of the right hand. Monthly summaries, dated 05/15/13, 05/25/13 and 06/27/13, documented the resident had contractures of the right hand and both legs. An MDS range of motion form, dated 08/15/13, documented the resident had limitation to the arm and hand on one side of the body which interfered with daily functioning or placed the resident at risk for injury. The quarterly assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident was able to be understood and was able to understand others; her cognition was severely impaired. There was a limitation in range of motion on both sides of the lower extremities. There were no days documented in which restorative therapy was utilized. An MDS range of motion form, dated 09/21/13, documented the resident had limitation in range of motion to bilateral lower extremities. A resident data collection form, dated 10/08/13, documented the resident had contractures of the right legs and right hand. An MDS range of motion form, dated 10/08/13, documented the resident had contractures of the legs and to the right hand. On 11/20/13 at 9:15 a.m., the resident was observed with a contracture to the right hand. She was asked if she could open her right hand. The resident raised her right hand and attempted to open it but was unsuccessful. She was asked if she had full range of motion to the right hand when she was admitted to the facility. She stated, "Yes." She was asked if restorative had ever worked with her hand to prevent the contracture. She stated, "No." On 11/21/13 at 10:25 a.m., licensed practical nurse (LPN) #2 was asked if the resident had a contracture. She stated she was not sure. The surveyor and LPN #2 went to the resident's room. The resident had a paper towel folded in her right hand. She stated she put it in there to keep her hand separated. After looking at the resident's hand, the LPN stated the resident's right had was contracted. Registered nurse (RN) #1 entered the room and was asked about the contracture. She stated she thought hospice had ordered a splint a couple of months ago. The LPN was asked for documentation of the contracture and the placement of the splint. After reviewing the clinical record, she stated she could not find documentation. On 11/22/13 at 9:05 a.m., the director of nurses (DON) was asked who was responsible to identify residents at risk for the development of contractures or decrease in range of motion. She stated it was a collaboration of all the nurses. The DON stated when a decrease in range of motion or development of a contracture was identified, a plan of care was initiated and evaluated on a monthly basis. The DON was asked how residents were referred to the restorative program. She stated any staff could refer a resident to the program. She stated there were now three restorative aides working seven days a week, and they sometimes worked as certified nurse aides when needed on the halls. She was asked for documentation to show interventions implemented to prevent the development of the resident's contracture, before it was identified in April 2013. There was no documentation provided to show the facility had developed or implemented interventions to prevent the contracture.
