F281D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, staff interview, facility document review, and clinical record review, it was determined that the facility staff failed to follow professional standards of practice in the administration of medication for one of seven residents in the medication administration observation; Resident #7. For Resident #7, the facility staff failed to double check the resident's name on the medication ([MEDICATION NAME]) prior to administration. The findings include: On 11/14/13 at 8:26 a.m., the medication administration observation was conducted with LPN #1 (Licensed Practical Nurse #1), who was preparing medication for Resident #7. The following medications were observed: *Cetrizine 10 mg (milligrams) (an [MEDICATION NAME]) *[MEDICATION NAME] 1300 mg (an anticonvulsant) *[MEDICATION NAME] 30 mg (an antiulcer/antisecretory) **Refresh ointment (an eye lubricant) *[MEDICATION NAME] 200 mg (an [MEDICATION NAME]) During this observation, LPN #1 handed the surveyor each package of medication for review. The pharmacy label on the [MEDICATION NAME] contained the name of a different resident, although she checked the medication name and dose against the MAR (Medication Administration Record) for Resident #7 for accuracy. She then put the package back into the bin of the other resident and administered the medications. On 11/14/13 at 2:46 p.m., an interview was conducted with LPN #1. She stated she obtained the medication from Resident #7's bin. It was noted that Resident #7's name was not the name on the medication package or the bin she returned it to. Upon checking the bin for Resident #7, there was a package for [MEDICATION NAME] for Resident #7 in her own bin. LPN #1 stated that since she had to dig to the bottom of the bin to locate it, then she must have inadvertently obtained it from the wrong bin or it would have been on top of the stack at this time. The two bins were located next to each other. When asked about the process for medication administration, she stated "to check the MAR for medication, dose, and time, and check medication allergies [REDACTED]. When asked if she checked for the resident's name on the package of [MEDICATION NAME], she stated, "I guess I didn't." A review of the facility policy, "General Dose Preparation and Medication Administration" revealed, "3.1 Facility staff should verify each time a medication is administered that it is the correct drug, at the correct dose, the correct route, at the correct rate, at the correct time, for the correct resident." On 11/14/13 at 5:00 p.m., the Administrator, Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing, and Performance Improvement staff were made aware of the findings. According to Potter and Perry's, Basic Nursing, Essentials for Practice, 6th edition, pages 349-360, "It is essential that you verify the accuracy of every medication you give to the patient with the patient's orders. To ensure safe medication administration, be aware of the six rights of medication administration. 1. The right medication; 2. The right dose; 3. The right patient; 4 The right route; 5. The right time; and 6. The right documentation." *Information obtained from Nurse's Drug Guide 2009 Prentice Hall.

RN #7 stated the resident usually "keeps his legs under him" (tucked under his thighs). She stated the resident could move himself in the chair with his arms. RN #7 stated that when he was put to bed the resident's lower leg was moving independently. She notified the resource nurse and another nurse to assess the resident. She said the resident's vital signs were normal and he did not express pain or agitation during the assessment. RN #7 said someone told her the resident's left leg was out the side opening in the Geri-chair. She stated did not know when or how it happened. On 11/2/12 at 12:55 PM, the CNA (CNA #4) mentioned in the nurse's note dated 6/30/12 was interviewed by phone. CNA #4 stated Resident #1 was sitting with his legs under his thighs in his usual way. She said she took him to his room and noticed his left leg from the knee down was outside the left opening of the Geri-chair. She asked the resident to move himself over in the chair. CNA #4 said the resident used his arms to move himself over in the chair. CNA #4 stated she straddled her leg outside his legs and used the waist of his pants to pivot him to the bed. She said she noticed the resident's leg while providing incontinence care. She said Resident #1 did not show any signs of pain, such as grimacing. CNA #4 said she did not hear anything during the transfer. Safety/falls was identified on the 4/24/12 care plan as a problem. The care plan documented "...Potential for injury secondary to: a. Lack of safety awareness b. Impaired cognition c. Seizure activity d. Inability to control physical movements e. Physical/structural deformities including lower extremity contractures f. Lack of stability when sitting because of decreased strength in lower extremities..." There were several interventions including "Assess resident's safety needs and provide for protection by implementing measures and resources to prevent injury or falls...Inspect all additional pieces of equipment for good working conditions - seat belts, lap trays, foot and chest straps, Hoyer lift slings, and geri chair (lounge chair)...Provide supervision and/or assistance as needed for safe transfers, or ambulation...". The amount of supervision or assistance needed for a safe transfer was not identified on the 4/24/12 care plan. The Kardex (no date) stated the resident had agitation. The type of transfer and amount of supervision/assistance needed for transfers was not documented on the Kardex. There were no physician's orders for the type of transfer. On 11/1/12 at 8:15 AM, the director of nursing (DON) stated Resident #1's knees were contracted with tightness in his legs. She said he "gets his legs up and sits on his heels". She said he had upper body strength. The occupational therapist (OT) stated the resident's legs were contracted and not strong. The OT said the resident's upper body was strong. On 11/1/12 at 7:25 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) #2 stated Resident #1 does not stand at all. She said he was heavy and was transferred by a hoyer lift before the fracture. She said she confirmed with the resource nurse, (RN #8) that Resident #1 was transferred with the hoyer lift before the fracture. On 11/2/12 at 12:15 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #3 stated she worked on the 11 to 7 shift. She stated Resident #1 was transferred with a hoyer lift because he was so big he can't be manually lifted. CNA #3 said the resident could not stand by himself. CNA #3 said when using a lift a second person was needed to protect the resident and the staff member. She stated Resident #1 had been transferred with a lift for "going on a year now". On 11/2/12 at approximately 12:15 AM, the resource nurse said Resident #1 was always transferred with 2 staff members using a lift because of his weight and height. On 11/2/12 at 8:30 AM, RN #6 said generally when a resident weighed over 50# 2 staff members were needed for transfer. She said Resident #1 was transferred by 2 staff members using a lift because of movement. On 11/2/12 at 8:35 AM, the DON stated it was the facility practice that a lift was used to transfer residents over 50 or 60#. She stated if a resident had a sling they should be transferred with a hoyer lift. She said Resident #1 had a sling and should not be transferred by 1 person. The DON stated she asked CNA #4 about transferring Resident #1 by herself. The DON stated this was not the safest way to transfer the resident. She said CNA #4 said she had done it before and it was not a problem. The DON said she told CNA #4 not to transfer Resident #4 that way again. The DON stated most staff members would "tell you" Resident #1 needed a 2 person transfer because of his behaviors and movement. She said Resident #1 might have enough upper body strength to transfer from the wheel chair to the bed but not from the Geri-chair to the bed. She said Resident #1 may be able to straighten his legs a little but he can not bear weight. The DON was asked to provide documentation regarding the resident's transfers. On 11/2/12 at 9:20 AM, this concern was shared with the Administrator and the DON. The administrator stated Resident #1 had the upper body strength but not the intellectual capacity to transfer. She said she disagreed with the transfer style but nothing in the transfer indicated the resident was harmed. She said she did not think the transfer caused the fracture. On 11/2/12 at 11:25 AM, the DON provided the PT (Physical Therapy) Therapy TCU (transitional care unit) Plan of Care dated 10/6/11 and 5/10/12. The PT Therapy TCU Plan of Care dated 10/6/11 and 5/10/12 stated the resident was dependent for wheel chair to mat transfers. The facility policy titled Hoyer Transfers and reviewed in January 2003 stated, "...Purpose: To provide means of safety lifting (sic) and transferring patients. Policy: Patients unable to assist in transferring or moving self may be transferred or lifted by nursing staff utilizing the Hoyer lift..." COMPLAINT DEFICIENCY

Based on clinical record review and staff interview it was determined that for 1 of 11 residents in the survey sample (Resident #1) the facility staff failed to ensure the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected his functional status. Resident #1 had contractures of his knees and did not bear weight. His annual MDS, dated [DATE] documented the resident required supervision and 1 staff member's assistance for transfers from one surface to another. His quarterly MDS, dated [DATE] documented the resident required extensive assistance of 1 staff member for transfers. The findings include: Clinical record review revealed, Resident #1 was a [AGE] year old re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. His annual and quarterly Minimum Data Set assessments dated 4/24/12 and 10/7/12 respectively, coded the resident as unable to make himself understood and unable to understand others. The staff assessment documented he had long and short term memory problems and rarely made decisions. Both of his lower extremities were impaired. His annual MDS assessment, dated 4/22/12 documented he needed supervision for bed mobility and transfers. He needed the assistance of 1 staff member for transfers. He needed extensive staff assistance for all other activities of daily living. He was 61" tall and weighed 118#. Activities of daily living/rehab potential did not trigger as a care area in the Care Area Assessment (CAA) dated 4/22/12. His quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented that he needed supervision for bed mobility. He needed extensive assistance of 1 staff member for transfers. He was totally dependent on staff assistance for all other activities of daily living. He was 61" tall and weighed 133#. Safety/falls were identified on the 10/19/12 and 4/24/12 care plans as a problem. There were several interventions including "Inspect all additional pieces of equipment for good working conditions - seat belts, lap trays, foot and chest straps, Hoyer lift slings and geri chair (lounge chair)". The 4/24/12 care plan was updated on 6/30/12 to include a femur fracture. Activities of daily living and the type of transfer were not identified as a problem in the 4/24/12 or 10/19/12 care plans. The Kardex (no date) stated the resident had agitation. The type of transfer was not documented on the Kardex. There were no physician's orders for the type of transfer. The resident attended school from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, during the week. On 11/1/12 at 8:15 AM, the director of nursing (DON) stated Resident #1's knees were contracted with tightness in his legs. She said he had upper body strength. The occupational therapist (OT) stated the resident's legs were contracted and not strong. The OT said the resident's upper body was strong.

She said she did not know how the transfer section of the annual MDS could be accurate. She said Resident #1 might have enough upper body strength to transfer from the wheel chair to the bed but not from the Geri-chair to the bed. The DON was asked to provide documentation regarding the resident's transfers. The DON said the nurse responsible for coding the MDS was not currently at work. On 11/2/12 at 11:25 AM, the DON provided the PT (Physical Therapy) Therapy TCU (transitional care unit) Plan of Care dated 10/6/11 and 5/10/12. She stated she thought the transfer on the MDS was mis-coded or inaccurate based on the PT evaluation. The PT Therapy TCU Plan of Care dated 10/6/11 and 5/10/12 stated the resident was dependent for wheel chair to mat transfers. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Resident Assessment MDS 3.0 Manual (pages G-10 and 11) document "...Examples for G0110B, Transfer ... 2. Staff must supervise the resident as she transfers from her bed to wheelchair daily. Staff must bring the chair next to the bed and then remind her to hold on to the chair and position her body slowly. Coding: G0110B1 would be coded 1, supervision. G0110B2 would be coded 1, setup help only. Rationale: Resident requires staff supervision, cueing, and reminders for safe transfer. This activity happened daily over the 7-day look-back period. 3. Mrs. H. is able to transfer from the bed to chair when she uses her walker. Staff place the walker near her bed and then assist the resident with guided maneuvering as she transfers. The resident was noted to transfer from bed to chair six times during the 7-day look-back period. Coding: G0110B1 would be coded 2, limited assistance. G0110B2 would be coded 2, one person physical assist. Rationale: Resident requires staff to set up her walker and provide non-weight-bearing assistance when she is ready to transfer. The activity happened six times during the 7-day look-back period. 4. Mrs. B. requires weight-bearing assistance of one staff member to partially lift and support her when being transferred. The resident was noted to have been transferred 14 times in the 7-day look-back period and each time required weight-bearing assistance. Coding: G0110B1 would be coded 3, extensive assistance. G0110B2 would be coded 2, one person physical assist. Rationale: Resident partially participates in the task of transferring. The resident was noted to have transferred 14 times during the 7-day look-back period, each time requiring weight-bearing assistance of one staff member. 5. Mr. T. is in a physically debilitated state due to surgery. Two staff members must physically lift and transfer him to a reclining chair daily using a mechanical lift. Mr. T. is unable to assist or participate in any way. Coding: G0110B1 would be coded 4, total dependence. G0110B2 would be coded 3, two+ persons physical assist. Rationale: Resident did not participate and required two staff to transfer him out of his bed. The resident was transferred out of bed to the chair daily during the 7-day look-back period..."

For Resident #4, the facility staff failed to ensure that the most recent MDS (minimum data set), a quarterly assessment, dated 8-14-11 was maintained on the active clinical record and/or was readily available and accessible to staff. 8. For Resident #8, the facility staff failed to ensure that the most recent MDS (minimum data set), a quarterly assessment, dated 8-14-11 was maintained on the active clinical record and/or was readily available and accessible to staff. The findings included: 1. Resident #1 did not have the previous 15 months of MDS (minimum data set) assessments maintained on the active record and or readily available/accessible for staff Resident #1 was a seven year old who was admitted on [DATE] with the [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent MDS was a quarterly assessment with an ARD (Assessment Reference Date) of 10/30/11. The MDS coded the resident as being cognitively impaired in ability to make daily decisions; as being totally dependent on staff for transfers, dressing, eating, hygiene, and bathing; and coded as incontinent of bowel and bladder. On 11/9/11, the clinical record review was conducted. The MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment book which was kept at the nurse's station for the staff use was used to review the MDS assessment portion of the clinical record. This review revealed Resident #1's annual MDS assessment with an ARD (Assessment Reference Date) of 8/7/11 and quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD of 10/30/11 were not printed in their entirety. The printed portion of the quarterly assessment contained only the Section A (Identification Information) and Section Z (Assessment Administration- Signature page).
