F812K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on observations, interviews, record reviews, and review of facility policies and procedures, the facility failed to cook raw unpasteurized eggs in a manner to destroy all viable Salmonella species bacteria, a virulent foodborne pathogen (disease-causing microorganism) that could cause food borne illness for 3 of 3 sampled residents, Residents #11, #334 and #335. Residents #11, #334 and #335 were over [AGE] years of age and were immunocompromised. Residents #11, #334 and #335 preferred undercooked eggs (over easy) for breakfast and were served unpasteurized shell eggs (that have not been specifically treated to destroy all viable Salmonella species bacteria). The practice of serving undercooked unpasteurized shell eggs to a highly susceptible population placed the residents who eat eggs prepared by the facility at a likelihood of serious illness or death from a Salmonella Enteritidis infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), non-typhoidal Salmonella infection causes severe diarrheal illness. Adults aged [AGE] years and older, and people with a weakened immune system are the most likely to have serious infections. People taking certain medicines (for example, stomach acid reducers) are at increased risk of infection. Symptoms of Salmonella illness include but are not limited to pain in the abdomen or muscles, chills, dehydration, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or blood in the stool, usually begin within six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days. Diarrhea may last for several days and lead to potentially severe dehydration, especially in adults over [AGE] years old. Even after clinical symptoms are no longer obvious, Salmonella bacteria may be found in the stool for several weeks. Chickens can lay eggs that are contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. Salmonella Enteritidis is one of the most common serotypes of Salmonella in the U.S. If a person eats an egg contaminated with Salmonella raw, or undercooked, they may be infected with Salmonella Enteritidis. CDC estimates that approximately 1.35 million illnesses and 420 deaths occur due to non-typhoidal Salmonella annually in the U.S. CDC surveillance data for 1993-1997 indicated that serotype Salmonella Enteritidis caused the most deaths in foodborne outbreaks, and that 40% of these deaths occur in nursing home residents ([NAME] SJ, MacKinon LC, [NAME] JS, Bean NH, Slutsker L. Surveillance for foodborne disease outbreaks-United States, 1993-1997, MMWR CDC Surveill Summ, 2000, vol. 49 (pg. 1-62). According to the Food and Drug Administration 2022 Food Code, raw eggs that are broken and prepared in response to a consumer's order and for immediate service shall be cooked to heat all parts of the food to 145 or above for 15 seconds to destroy Salmonella. The facility was not checking the final cooking temperature of the unpasteurized eggs that were cooked to order for residents' preference, such as sunny side up and over easy eggs. On 08/01/23, it was determined facility practice posed Immediate Jeopardy to the health and safety of residents in the facility. The Administrator was informed of the Immediate Jeopardy on 08/01/23 at 5:40 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 07/31/23, as beginning on 02/03/23, and removed on 08/01/23. The scope and severity were decreased to an E, no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy. The facility census at the time of the survey was 79 residents. All 79 residents consumed the facility food. The findings included: The facility's policy, titled, Egg Preparation, most recently updated 02/2017, documented, in part, the following: Policy: when preparing eggs separately or as part of a recipe, only commercial Grade A or pasteurized egg products may be used. When preparing eggs to order only pasteurized eggs may be used. No raw eggs will be served. Procedure: 1. Examine all fresh eggs discarding any that are cracked or damaged. 2. Grade A raw egg may only be used in recipes where the egg will be cooked (i.e. pudding, cakes, quiche, etc. 3. Grade A raw eggs prepared separately must be cooked to at least 140 degrees for three minutes or 145 degrees for 15 seconds. This will yield a product in which the egg whites are completely set and the yolks are congealed. 4. All poached, over easy and other non-fully cooked egg menu items need to be prepared with pasteurized shell eggs. The facility's policy, titled, Cooked Egg Policy, most recently updated 04/2023, documented, in part, the following: To strive to protect residents from the potential for food-borne illness, all residents will be served eggs that have been cooked to the recommended internal temperature according to the Food and Drug Administration. Procedure: 1. All residents will be served eggs that have been cooked to the recommended internal temperature of 145F, based on federal guidelines. 2. Pasteurized eggs will be used for preparations that will not meet the internal temperature of 145F, such as over-easy or poached eggs.

During an interview on 03/30/22 at 3:04 PM, the Director of Culinary services was asked why Resident #57 was served on disposable dinnerware, while everyone else was being served on traditional dinnerware. The Director of Culinary services stated it happened when he first got here, as he was hacking up [MEDICATION(S)] and spitting it on his plates and into his cups. The Director of Culinary services stated some of the CNAs and dietary aides mentioned it. The Director of Culinary stated, We use universal precautions, and then we had COVID, and our medical director said it was ok to use paper products for Resident #57. The Director of Culinary services agreed they do disinfect the plates and glasses, and further stated, Staff were saying they would not touch it. It wasn't a decision I made alone. It was a team decision. When asked about glove use, the Director of Culinary services explained that gloves are not to be worn while serving food as it's a dignity issue. The Director of Culinary services stated, but after meals while cleaning up it's fine to wear gloves. The Director of Culinary services stated staff could wear glove during a meal if there was a need to clean something up. The Director of Culinary services stated she had educated staff on universal precautions. When asked if she specifically educated them related to Resident #57 and his behaviors, the Director of Culinary services did not believe she had. During an interview on 03/30/22 at 3:33 PM, the Registered Dietician was asked about the care plan related to paper plate use for Resident #57. The Registered Dietician stated there was a physician order [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Registered Dietician stated at the time he was spitting up and vomiting. When asked if she was part of the decision to use paper products, she stated she does not recall being part of the conversation, and she just knows he has the issue with spitting up. When asked if there was a functional reason for the paper products, the Registered Dietician stated there was not, but she just had an order, so she care planned it. The Registered Dietician stated she understood the concern with the use of paper products and dignity. On 03/30/22 at 4:30 PM, Resident #57 ambulated to the [NAME] Villa dining room for dinner. Resident #57 was provided a regular spoon, but disposable dinnerware set on paper napkins. At this meal, residents in the dining room were served a hand scooped frozen dessert in a scalloped glass bowl, while Resident #57 was noted with a frozen dessert in a cardboard container. Resident #57 was observed during this entire meal, and at no time was Resident #57 observed hacking up [MEDICATION(S)] or spitting. On 03/30/22 at 4:35 PM, Staff N, the MDS Coordinator provided the November 2021 care plan meeting for Resident #57. Review of this meeting lacked any documentation related to the use of paper products. When asked for documented evidence of the team decision to provide paper products to Resident #57, the MDS coordinator stated, There is an order. When told the Director of Culinary services stated it was a team decision, the MDS Coordinator referred to the Director of Nursing. On 03/30/22 at 4:57 PM, the MDS Coordinator returned to the surveyor and stated, What I'm finding out is the decision was made between the previous Nutritional Care Coordinator and Staff I, the LPN, and an order was obtained, but I can't find any notes to show that. During an interview on 03/31/22 at approximately 3:30 PM, the Social Worker agreed holding a conversation with Resident #57 was extremely difficult related to his hearing problem, even with the provided headset (amplifier devise). The Social Worker stated she attempted to re-assess his mental status, and his Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 1, on a 0 to 15 score, indicating cognitive impairment. The Social Worker explained that after the first question, Resident #57 stated, why bother referring to asking the questions. The Social Worker stated Resident #57 was cognitively impaired, and that his only activity was walking in the hallway, walking to and from the dining room, and eating.

F689D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure accurate assessments and implementation of wanderguard for 2 of 4 sampled residents, Residents #41 and #61; and failed to document evidence showing that a thorough fall investigation was completed for 1 of 3 sampled residents with falls, Resident #45. The findings included: Review of the policy, titled, Elopement/Wandering Risk Assessment, revised 03/2021, documented, Purpose: to strive to identify residents who are at risk for wandering and potential elopement and provide a safe environment while maintaining their highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Procedure: 1. Residents are assessed upon admission to determine their risk for wandering or elopement and a wander guard bracelet is applied for the initial 72-hour assessment period. The resident will be reassessed as follows: Upon admission; after 72 hours of admission; Within one month of admission; Quarterly; With any new behaviors related to exit seeking activities. 3. Wander guard bracelets are to be worn by residents exhibiting signs of any of the above behaviors or on being assessed at risk to wander or elope. 12. Bracelets are not to be removed except for replacement, upon transfer from the monitored unit, or when the resident's medical condition renders them no longer to be an elopement risk (i.e., bed/chair bound). 1. Record Review of Resident #41 documented an admission to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include [CONDITION(S)], Dementia Without Behavioral Disturbances, Hypertension, History of Falling, [CONDITION(S)], [CONDITION(S)], [CONDITION(S)] [CONDITION(S)], Chronic Pain Syndrome, Neuritis, [CONDITION(S)], Muscle Weakness, Abnormalities of Gait & Mobility, Lack of Coordination, and [CONDITION(S)]. Review of her Significant change MDS (Minimum Data Set) for wound healing, dated 03/16/22, revealed the resident had a BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) of 12, which means her cognition is mildly impaired. The MDS also documented that Resident #41 has a wander elopement alarm used daily. Review of the Physician Orders, dated 01/15/22, documented an order for a 'Wander Guard ID#42, expires 08/27/22', and to check for placement and function Q shift (every shift). A review of the resident's care plan documented a risk to wander with interventions in place that included a room that is located away from entrances / exits, a wander alert device during the first 72 hours after admission or readmission, and a wander alert device to be checked for function, placement and expiration regularly. She also had a care plan documenting having impaired cognitive function or impaired thought processes related to dementia with behaviors and on [CONDITION(S)] medication. Review of the most recent Wander Assessment/Risk scale, dated 02/06/22, documented a score of 6, indicating the resident is at risk for wandering. Observations and an interview on 03/30/22 at 2:38 PM with Resident #41 revealed the resident sitting in her recliner in her room. She was asked if she wears a bracelet / wander guard that is on her. She stated, I am supposed to wear it but it's too big, it's hanging on my wheelchair. She was asked if she uses her wheelchair to get around the facility, and she advised the surveyor that she used to use it more, but she now uses her walker to get around. The wander guard was observed hanging from the handle of her wheelchair. On 03/31/2022 at 8:45 AM, Resident #41 was observed in the hallway using her walker going back to her room after breakfast. The surveyor did not see the wander guard on her but observed it again hanging on wheelchair. Photographic evidence obtained. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 9:20 AM with Staff N, MDS Coordinator, she was asked if Resident #41 is at risk for wandering / elopement. She reviewed the resident's care plan and said, She has a Care Plan for risk to wander and her MDS documents she has a wander guard. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 9:44 AM with DON (Director of Nursing), the DON stated, This resident doesn't usually go outside the household. The wander guard should be on her ankle or wrist. If she doesn't ambulate, it might be put on her wheelchair. The Wander risk assessments are completed quarterly. When residents are first admitted , all residents will be placed with a wander guard for three days. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 9:54 AM with Staff M, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), she acknowledged Resident #41 has a Wander guard that is on her wheelchair or walker. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 10:20 AM with Staff C, RN (Registered Nurse), she acknowledged that Resident #41 has a Wander guard, and it is sometimes on her wrist, ankle or sometimes on the device the resident uses. She uses both [walker and wheelchair]. We test the wander guard every shift when we go in. She stated that if the resident changes mobility devices, she does not move it over. We check to see if it is on the resident or mobile device. 2. Review of the record revealed Resident #45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a re-admission on 01/19/22 after a two-day hospital stay. Review of the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], documented Resident #45 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 04, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident was cognitively impaired. This MDS indicated Resident #45 had had a fall with a fracture. During an interview on 03/29/22 at 3:41 PM, when asked how she fell and hurt her leg, Resident #45 could not recall. Resident #45 uncovered her right leg and showed the surveyor her now healed incision, extending from her outer right hip to her knee. Review of a progress notes dated 01/17/22 at 2:41 PM by Staff I, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), documented, Resident called on team room phone (a room used by staff for charting and meetings) from room number and this writer answered. Resident stated, I was trying to call my cousin and I am sitting on the ground in my room and my leg hurts. This writer immediately went to resident's room and she is sitting on the floor on bottom in front of window. Lights in room were turned off by resident she stated because they were too bright. Call light was not initiated. C/O [complained of] 8/10 RLE [right lower extremity] pain. Vitals all WNL [within normal limits]. Foley [urinary drainage device] intact. RLE [right lower extremity] visibly swollen with no noted redness. 2 person assist with transfer to w/c [wheelchair] with difficulty. Resident grimacing and holding right thigh. This note further documented the physician, Director of Nursing (DON), and family were notified, and Resident #45 was sent to the emergency room (ER). A subsequent progress note, dated 01/17/22 at 11:27 PM, revealed Resident #45 was admitted to the hospital with a right femur (leg) spiral fracture and needed surgery. Review of the current care plan, initiated on 12/25/19, documented that Resident #45 was at risk for falls. Interventions in place prior to the fall included having personal items including her phone within reach. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 8:42 AM, when asked about Resident #45's fall with subsequent fractured hip, Staff F, the resident's usual Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated she was not at the facility that day, but she heard her phone was out of reach and the resident got up to get her phone and fell and broke her hip. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 11:09 AM, Staff I-LPN who took the phone call from Resident #45 on the day of the fall, was asked what happened. Staff I recalled receiving the phone call from Resident #45. The LPN stated she was shocked and ran into her room. Staff I stated she found Resident #45 on the floor and her phone was next to her. Staff I stated she tends to get up and furniture-walk in her room, and refuses to wear a leg bag for the Foley. When asked if she asked Resident #45 what happened, Staff I stated Resident #45 said she got up out of her wheelchair and was walking. Staff I could not recall what the resident said she was doing. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 12:37 PM, Staff H, the CNA who was assigned to the resident on the day of the fall, stated she doesn't recall exactly what happened when Resident #45 sustained the fall with subsequent fracture, but remembers Resident #45 was on the floor. Staff H stated, We didn't move her at first, because she was hurting real bad . sharp pain and fidgeting. When asked if she recalls anyone asking the resident what she was doing, Staff H stated, We asked her . I think she said she was trying to get around to the phone to the other side of the bed. We found her at the foot of the bed. I never knew (name of Resident #45) to walk. She always wheeled herself with her feet and would take herself to the bathroom. That day was the only time I knew of her to try to walk. When asked if management spoke with her after the event as part of the investigation, or if she wrote any type of statement. During an interview on 03/31/22 at 12:51 PM, Staff B, a Registered Nurse (RN), explained that Staff I-LPN, asked her to assess Resident #45 after the fall, as another set of eyes. When asked if Resident #45 said what she was trying to do, Staff B, the RN stated Resident #45 said she was trying to do something . something about a phone but did not recall exactly. When asked if management spoke with her after the incident about what happened, Staff B, the RN stated, No. During a subsequent interview on 03/31/22 at 1:00 PM, when asked what was Resident #45's usual mobility routine prior to the fall, Staff F-CNA, stated Resident #45 would never get up and try and walk. Staff F explained she would leave the Foley bag hanging on the side of the bed next to the bathroom because the resident would self-transfer from the bed to her wheelchair and go to the bathroom by herself. Staff F stated Resident #45 did get occasional calls from her family. When asked if she asked the resident upon her return to the facility what she was trying to do, Staff F stated Resident #45 could not remember but later said the resident said something about the phone. The DON was asked to locate and provide documented evidence of a review of the 01/17/22 fall sustained by Resident #45. The DON provided a summary of the fall. During an interview on 03/31/22 at approximately 12:00 PM, the DON was asked if there was any other documented evidence that she spoke with staff about the fall to determine the cause of the fall. The DON stated she does not write down every interview she completes. When asked if spoke with staff to try to determine what the resident was doing at the time of the fall, the DON again stated she did, but did not have any documented evidence of this. 3. During observations throughout the survey, Resident #61 was noted to independently self-propel in her wheelchair throughout the [NAME] Villa neighborhood. On 03/28/22 at 10:52 AM, Resident #61 was observed at the end of the hallway, trying to get into the room of Resident #39, who was not happy and closed the door on Resident #61. Review of the record revealed Resident #61 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Wandering Risk Scale assessments revealed the last completed assessment was on 01/13/21. The electronic medical records (EMR) had two additional incomplete Wandering Risk Scale assessments dated 11/18/21 and 02/06/22. The record lacked any further wandering risk assessments. Review of the Behavior Symptoms documented in the tasks portion of the EMR revealed Resident #61 exhibited wandering behaviors on 5 of the 30 days, all within the past 10 days, and mainly documented by Staff F, the resident's usual CNA. During an interview on 03/30/22 at 11:25 AM, Staff I, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated Resident #61 has not been exit seeking nor has she eloped, but she will wander into other resident rooms. When asked about the Wandering Risk Assessments, Staff I explained they are done quarterly and with any event. When asked how she knows when it is due to be done, the LPN stated it will show up red on the EMR. During a side-by-side review of the record at this time, Staff I agreed the last two wandering risk assessments were incomplete and the last completed assessment was dated 01/13/21. When told Resident #61 was observed on Monday 03/28/22 trying to get into the room of Resident #39, the LPN stated, Oh boy, I hope (name of Resident #39) wasn't there as she would not be happy. Staff I was told Resident #39 was at the door, was not happy, and closed it on Resident #61. During an interview on 03/30/22 at 11:56 AM, Staff F-CNA, stated she documented wandering for Resident #61 in the EMR because the resident goes in and out of other resident rooms and has been known to take items from other residents.

F693D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interview, record review and policy review, the facility failed to ensure proper care and services for 1 of 1 sampled resident, Resident #25, who was being fed by enteral means, as evidenced by nursing staff provided more fluids than were assessed by the Registered Dietician and ordered by the physician, which had the potential for fluid overload; failed to follow orders for recording intake and output; and failed to ensure an ordered laboratory draw was completed for Resident #25, who was primarily fed via enteral means (via tube) but could also take fluids orally. The findings included: Review of the policy, titled, Tube Feedings & Medication Administration, revised 06/2018, documented, Procedure: 1. Check the physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . d. Amount of water to flush per shift. Bolus Feeding: . 5. Flush the tube with 30 - 60 ml of water, or amount otherwise ordered by physician, after nourishment is introduced. Documentation: . 3. Record intake and output in the intake and output section of the electronic record or if the electronic record is not available in the Intake and Output Record. Review of the record revealed Resident #25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a re-admitted [DATE]. Review of the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment documented Resident #25 received 51% or more of her daily nutrition via a tube feeding. The MDS documented Resident #25 had a BIMS score of 12, indicating the resident had some cognitive impairment. Review of the current orders related to Resident #25's nutritional and fluid needs revealed the following: 04/06/21, Regular diet, Regular texture, Thin/Regular consistency Dietary liberties for special occasions. Serve only per resident's request. 04/01/21, Ensure Plus four times a day for enteral feeding. Administer 1 can via bolus and record % consumed. 04/01/21, Flush G-tube (specific type of feeding tube) with 50 ml of warm water before meals and with 50 ml of warm water after meals. Also, flush G-tube with 50 ml of warm water at bedtime for maintenance. (Note this would total 450 ml of water via the tube in a 24-hour period.) 04/01/21, Document total intake via G-tube on log sheet in Treatment Administration Record (TAR) binder. Includes flushes & Ensure. 04/30/21, Give 120 ml fluid of choice twice daily by mouth for hydration and record % consumed. 02/07/22, Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) (Routine) laboratory draw. Review of the most current progress note by the RD, dated 03/08/22, documented Resident #25 had orders for enteral nutrition: Ensure Plus . which provides 948 ml fluid daily. Flush with 50 ml water before meals, after meals, in the evening for maintenance (400 ml). Provides a total of 1298 ml/water daily. She has orders for 120 cc. H2O BID (twice daily), consumes 100% most days. (Note the calculation of 400 ml for the water flush should be 450 ml, with the provision of fluids via tube at 1398 ml of water daily.) The documented resident fluid need was calculated at 1360 ml/day, as per this progress note. During an observation on 03/29/22 at 10:39 AM, Staff J, a Registered Nurse (RN) provided the ordered Ensure Plus via bolus (administering the nutrition via gravity) to Resident #25. Before the RN gave the Ensure Plus, she flushed the feeding tube with 120 ml (milliliters) of water. After the Ensure Plus, the RN provided another 120 ml of water. The amount of water was verbally confirmed by Staff J. During an observation on 03/29/22 at 12:01 PM, Staff J-RN provided medications crushed in applesauce for Resident #25. During this medication administration, Staff J explained Resident #25 received her nutrition via the tube, but she can and does take her pills by mouth. Resident #25 was offered and accepted a drink of water after the administration of the pills. A large water jug was noted at her bedside. On 03/29/22 at 2:12 PM, Staff J-RN was observed in the room of Resident #25. She was just capping off the resident's tube and stated she had just finished. Two empty water cups were noted at the bedside, just as had been used with the earlier administration. Staff J confirmed she had just provided the Ensure Plus bolus, with 120 ml of water both before and after administration. During an interview on 03/29/22 at 2:18 PM, Staff J-RN confirmed she was giving 120 ml water before and after each meal instead of the ordered 50 ml. The RN confirmed the order for the 120 ml of fluid twice daily is to be offered and given by mouth. Staff J explained she was giving the extra fluid with the Ensure Plus bolus feed because she had the 120 ml twice daily order for fluids by mouth, and the resident refuses it. When asked why this wasn't communicated to the RD (Registered Dietician) or physician to have the order changed, the RN did not have any answer. Staff J agreed that by giving the 120 ml of water before and after each feeding, Resident #25 would be receiving 960 ml of water each day, instead of the ordered 450 ml of fluid. When asked why she gives more fluids than ordered, Staff J stated, just for the hydration . she gets the dry lips. When asked about an intake and output record in the TAR (Treatment Administration Record) binder as ordered, Staff J found the record, which contained some documentation daily, but not consistently on each shift. Staff J stated she does not document on that record. During an interview on 03/29/22 at 2:34 PM, the RD explained Resident #25 refuses to eat anything by mouth as it grosses her out and even the thought of food makes her upset. The RD stated prior to her admission to the facility, her husband was feeding her via a tube at home. When asked about her fluid and hydration status, the RD stated Resident #25 is getting her fluid needs met through the tube with the formula and water flushes. The RD stated Resident #25 is also encouraged to drink water with medications, which she believes the nurses document on the MAR. The RD stated Resident #25 will accept water to drink by mouth. When asked about the purpose of the intake and output record in the TAR order, the RD was unsure, stating she reviews the intake on the Medication Administration Record [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The RD suggested we look at the current laboratory values to determine the resident's fluid status. The RD was shown the order for the BMP on 02/07/22 and was asked to locate and provide the results. The RD was unable to locate the results. During an interview on 03/29/22 at 3:02 PM, Staff K, the day shift CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), stated she does not encourage Resident #25 to drink fluids by mouth, but explained Resident #25 will sometimes ask for water to drink and the CNA will provide it. At this same time, Staff L, the evening CNA, was noted passing out fresh water to all of the residents. Staff L stated she provides water for Resident #25 and encourages her to drink it. Staff L stated Resident #25 is supposed to drink 120 ml during the shift. Staff L stated she records the resident's intake in the computer. Review of the CNA documentation in the computer for the past 30 days (02/28/22 through 03/29/22) revealed the following: Resident #25 drank fluids 6 times during the breakfast meal, ranging from 60 ml to 360 ml time. Resident #25 drank fluids 5 times during the midday meal, ranging from 40 ml to 350 ml at a time. Resident #25 drank fluids 12 times during the evening meal, ranging from 60 ml to 120 ml at a time. The medical record for Resident #25 had documented fluid intake in three different locations to include on the MAR (Medication Administration Record), the intake and output paper record in the TAR binder, and the CNAs documentation. During a subsequent interview on 03/29/22 at 3:19 PM, Staff J-RN, explained any order for laboratory draws get put into the computer, the night shift prints out the requisition for the labs to be drawn, and then a laboratory staff will come the next morning to draw the sample. When asked to locate and provide the ordered BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) labs for Resident #25 on 02/07/22, Staff J was unable to find it. The RN also looked for a subsequent progress note as to why the order was not completed and could not find any documentation.

F761D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper labeling and storage of medications, as evidenced by failure to secure medication cabinets for 3 of 19 sampled residents, Residents #66, #16, and #57; failure to store medications properly for 1 of 3 inspected medication carts (loose medications); and failure to accurately label medications for 1 of 6 sampled residents, Resident #44. The findings included: 1a. Clinical record review revealed Resident #66 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a re-admission on 01/27/20. The annual (modification) minimum data set (MDS) assessment reference date 01/27/22, revealed, Resident #66 had a brief interview for mental status score of 03 indicating Resident #66 was cognitively impaired. This MDS documented Resident #66 exhibited behaviors that included: pacing, and rummaging. The care plan, with revision date 02/03/22, recorded Resident #66 had impaired cognitive function or impaired thought processes related to dementia. A progress note dated 03/24/22 at 11:28 PM, documented Resident #66 had increased confusion, agitation, grunting, and pacing. On 03/28/22 at 8:41 AM, an observation was made in Resident #66's room, in the Bueno Vista unit, of the medication cabinet located towards the left side of the room. The medication cabinet was observed to be left unlocked and unattended with 3 bottles of medications (meds) sitting inside of it that included Losartan, [MEDICATION(S)], and [MEDICATION(S)]. There was another resident's name written on these bottles of the medications, but this resident no longer lives in the facility. Resident #66, who was currently residing in this room, was observed with confusion, pacing, and wandering between her room and the Bueno Vista unit. She was self-ambulatory using a rolling walker. On 03/28/22 at 1:42 PM, the medication cabinet located in Resident #66's room remained unlocked with the 3 bottles of meds inside the cabinet. During that time the attending nurse, Staff B, a registered nurse (RN), was made aware of the finding. Staff B and the surveyor went into the resident's room. Staff B noted the medication cabinet was unlocked. Staff B stated, Those medications shouldn't be in the cabinet, as [the resident's name written on the bottle of the medications] had passed away. During this time Resident #66 was observed out of bed, wandering around in the room using a rolling walker, and was noted with confusion. 1b. Clinical record review revealed Resident #16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The annual MDS assessment reference date 03/26/22, documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11, indicating Resident #16 was moderately cognitively impaired. Additionally, there was a progress note, dated 03/30/22 at 1:53 PM, that documented, 'Resident #16 was alert with forgetfulness. He uses a wheelchair for mobility. He was able to self-propel upon household.' On 03/29/22 at 9:41 AM, an observation was conducted in the resident's room, located at the Key West unit. It was revealed that the medication cabinet towards the right side of the room was observed to be left unlocked and unattended. There was a [MEDICATION(S)] insulin pen in the cabinet. During this time, the surveyor had informed Staff C-RN that the medication cabinet was left unlocked. Staff C stated, The cabinet was supposed to be locked. Resident #16, who resided in this room, was observed self-propelling using wheelchair. Photographic evidence obtained. On 03/29/22 at 10:00 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was made aware of the concerns regarding medication cabinets left unlocked in the rooms of Resident #66 and Resident #16. Photographic evidence was shown to the ADON. On 03/29/22 at 10:05 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was also made aware of the findings. Photographic evidence was shown to the DON. 1c. During an observation on 03/28/22 at 02:08 PM in Resident #57's room, the bottom right cabinet door of the bedside medication cabinet for Resident #57, was observed to be unlocked. This cabinet contained at least two tubes of Hydrocortisone cream, extra batteries, four containers of inhalers and at least one tube of [MEDICATION(S)] cream. Resident #57 was observed independently ambulating with his rolling walker to and from his room numerous times, passing by the medication cabinet. Resident #57 was cognitively impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 01, on a 0 to 15 scale, as per the Social Worker assessment of 03/29/22, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The roommate, Resident #91, was also observed self-propelling in his wheelchair, in and out of his room which passes by the medication cabinets, throughout the survey week. Resident #91 had a BIMS score of 06, indicating he was severely cognitively impaired as well. 2. On 03/31/22 at 11:58 AM, the Bueno Vista medication cart was audited and observed. There were two unidentified pills noted in a plastic medicine cup, unlabeled, in the top drawer of the medication cart. The attending nurse, Staff E, a license practical nurse (LPN), stated she did not put the medication there; she thought it was from the night shift. Staff E stated, The medications should not have been stored in a medicine cup, unlabeled. 3. During an observation of the [NAME] Villa medication cart on 03/31/22 at 9:42 AM, a random narcotic count was conducted with Staff I-LPN. Resident #44 had a Individual Patient Narcotic Record for [MEDICATION(S)] that had 53 tablet left. The label for this medication documented, 03/23/22 [MEDICATION(S)]-Acetaminophen Tablet 37.5-325 mg (milligrams), take one tablet by mouth at bedtime and one tablet daily as needed for pain. The corresponding bubble pack label, with the 53 tablets, documented the same information.

The findings included: Review of the undated Infection Control Policy, for new resident admissions, provided by the Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) on 03/30/22, revealed: all not fully vaccinated residents returning or newly admitted . from a hospital stay / or outing 24 hours or greater will be rapid tested immediately upon arrival and will be admitted /readmitted to a private room if available on droplet-based isolation or to a semi-private shared with a resident on the same droplet-based isolation precautions for 14 days and will be rapid tested every other day for 14 days. Review of the CDC guidance for Newly admitted or readmitted Residents at the CDC website, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/long-term-care.html, updated February 2, 2022, documented: In general, all residents who are not up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses and are new admissions and readmissions should be placed in quarantine, even if they have a negative test upon admission, and should be tested as described in the testing section above; COVID-19 vaccination should also be offered. Facilities located in counties with low community transmission might elect to use a risk-based approach for determining which of these residents require quarantine upon admission. Decisions should be based on whether the resident had close contact with someone with [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 infection while outside the facility and if there was consistent adherence to IPC practices in healthcare settings, during transportation, or in the community prior to admission. Residents . who are not up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses: These residents should generally be restricted to their rooms, even if testing is negative, and cared for by HCP using an N95 or higher-level respirator, eye protection (goggles or a face shield that covers the front and sides of the face), gloves and gown. They should not participate in group activities. Residents who are not up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses and who have had close contact with someone with [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 infection should be placed in quarantine after their exposure, even if [CONDITION(S)] testing is negative. HCP caring for them should use full PPE (gowns, gloves, eye protection, and N95 or higher-level respirator). Residents can be removed from Transmission-Based Precautions after day 10 following the exposure (day 0) if they do not develop symptoms. Although the residual risk of infection is low, healthcare providers could consider testing for [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 within 48 hours before the time of planned discontinuation of Transmission-Based Precautions. Residents can be removed from Transmission-Based Precautions after day 7 following the exposure (day 0) if a [CONDITION(S)] test is negative for [CONDITION(S)]-CoV-2 and they do not develop symptoms. The specimen should be collected and tested within 48 hours before the time of planned discontinuation of Transmission-Based Precautions. 1. On 03/30/22 at 9:45AM, an isolation cart was observed outside of the room of Resident #292. There was no signage on the door, and the social worker was noted in the room within 6 feet of Resident #292, who was standing up with her walker. The door to Resident #292's room was open. When the social worker left the room, she was asked what the isolation cart was for. The social worker stated, I don't know. You would have to ask the nurse. On 03/30/22 at 9:55 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff I, the attending nurse, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). When asked what the isolation cart outside of Resident #292's room was for, Staff I stated, the DON told me to put it there because Resident #292 was a new admission, so she needed to be on isolation. When asked about signage for the door, Staff I stated, I am looking for a droplet precautions sign now. Staff I confirmed Resident #292 was admitted over the weekend on 03/26/22. When asked if that was something that should have been done upon admission, Staff I was unsure. When asked if Resident #292 was vaccinated, Staff I stated, I think so. On 03/30/22 at approximately 10:20 AM, Staff I informed the surveyor that she was just informed from Independent Living (IL) that Resident #292 was not vaccinated.

When asked whether Resident #292 was vaccinated, the ICP revealed that the facility was unaware of Resident #292's vaccination status until Monday 03/28/22, when the facility obtained Resident #292's records from IL. The ICP further added that Resident #292 was admitted during the weekend on 03/26/22, the IP was not there but the admitting nurse should have asked Resident #292 about her vaccination status as she was alert and oriented, so she (the nurse) could determine the infection control process. The ICP voiced that when she came in Monday morning (03/28/22), she sent an email to Resident #292's nurse at the IL to obtain information regarding the resident's vaccination status. The ICP voiced the nursing home also has access to the IL computer system for immunization record.

The Wander Risk assessments from her previous admission showed: -09/19/20: high risk to wander score=12 -9/22/20: high risk score=12. Review of facility documentation showed an elopement on 12/25/20 at 4:26 AM involving Resident #237. The information included: 'Resident #237 exited her unit through double doors into the lobby. She then exited the front entrance of the facility. 12/25/20 at 4:26 AM Resident #237 found lying in Willow Brooke Court (WBC) parking lot by security guard. Security Guard called Registered Nurse A (RN) at WillowBrooke Court. RN A met security guard and Resident #237 in the parking lot with a wheelchair. When asked why she was outside Resident #237 stated, I was picking up a book for my husband. Resident #237 declined to use wheelchair and was accompanied back to WBC by RN A. Nursing assessment reveals some abrasions to palms and knees. First aid administered. No other injuries were observed. Resident's husband notified at 5:30 AM and gave permission to apply wanderguard on wife's wrist. Resident's physician notified and ordered a urinalysis. Resident #237 had last been seen by RN-A at 4 AM when putting her back to bed. Resident #237 had been in corridor looking for her husband. According to RN-A, Resident #237 had been informed and likely spoke with husband earlier in the day that he would be coming to pick her up Christmas morning. RN-A reported that any time husband calls, resident becomes restless and begins looking for him. Resident #237 was placed on 15-minute checks for 72 hours related safety. Resident care plan was reviewed. Wanderguard applied 12/25/20 and added to care plan. Urinalysis was normal.' An interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant G (CNA) on 03/25/21 at 2:30 PM. She stated she did not remember Resident #237. She did explain that if a resident has wandering behavior, staff try to talk to them to see if they can tell staff what they need or want. Staff also try to direct the resident to their room and sit with them. When worn, wanderguards set off the alarms on the doors. Staff then go and see who is trying to leave the unit or is coming in from another unit. An interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse H (LPN) on 03/25/21 at 2:35 PM. She stated she remembered Resident #237 had wandering behavior. She would come outside her room and ask for her husband but she was easy to redirect. LPN-H never witnessed her trying to get out. LPN-H stated Resident #237 walked with a walker but was fast. Staff-H said, in general, if a resident has a wanderguard, the alarms go off. Specific codes are entered into the doors to stop the alarm. Staff also check wanderguards every shift. An interview was conducted on 03/25/21 at 2:40 PM with RN-I. RN-I explained facility protocol was all new admissions are given a wanderguard for the first three days. Staff continue to assess for wandering behaviors. If a resident is admitted without wandering behaviors and begins to wander then the wanderguard would remain. If a resident is wandering, then staff will do vitals each shift and implement urinary tract infection prevention protocols. If the wanderguard alarms go off staff immediately go and get the resident. An interview was conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 03/25/21 at 4:14 PM. The ADON explained the facility's wanderguard policy and said the policy was recently updated within the last few weeks. She stated the previous policy was upon admission, all residents get a wandering assessment and depending on the assessment and any behaviors they would receive a wanderguard. If a resident started demonstrating that behavior staff would get an order and consent. Initially staff were just looking at exit seeking behaviors because alot of residents wander through the unit or halls but only some actively exit seek to get out. For these residents it would depend on how far they wander. If they could get lost or get on the stairwell they would receive a wanderguard. The ADPN said the new policy says on admission every resident gets a wanderguard placed for 72 hours regardless of admission wandering assessment. Another assessment is done after 72 hours then the wanderguard will be removed if the resident does not meet criteria for continued use. Residents sleep with wanderguards on. If a resident has a wanderguard on, the exit to each unit will alarm and the front door will automatically lock. Patio doors also lock. Staff doors do not open. The main door in the lobby does not open automatically until the wanderguard is removed from the area. The expectation is for the staff to see who is exiting and redirect them back. The residents still go to activities independently. A few residents are alert and oriented enough to go to activities independently but every now and then they get confused and try to go to their car. If the resident is going to an activity the staff would turn the alarm off and assist them to the activities. Activities will usually get a list of who wants to go. Usually if they are going to take them they will let the activities person know to help them get back to their unit. An interview was conducted with RN-A on 03/25/21 at 3:49 PM regarding Resident #237's elopement. RN-A explained that Resident #237 had urges to return home and had baseline confusion. That night she was talking about getting books for husband. Two CNAs were assigned to Resident #237's unit and RN-A split her time between this unit and the unit upstairs. Resident #237 did not have a wanderguard on that night. She had not previously attempted to leave the unit and mostly wandered to search rooms. After the incident, a wanderguard was put on her. RN-A further explained it was Christmas Eve, activities had been going on during the day and Resident #237 was anticipating a visit from her husband. Resident #237 wanted to get something for her husband. She had been searching in her room earlier. RN-A had been back and forth between units and received a phone call from security. RN-A had been in Resident #237's room earlier. The automatic doors in the front lobby allowed a person to exit but couldn't return in. There was no other door bell or chime on the front lobby doors, only the wanderguard alarm. Resident #237 was found in the parking lot in front of the building. An interview was conducted with CNA-J on 03/25/21 at 5:20 PM, who stated she had not been assigned to Resident #237 but remembered her. CNA-J stated Resident #237 wandered but never tried to leave the unit when CNA-J worked on the unit. An interview was conducted with the Administrator / Risk Manager on 03/25/21 at 5:30 PM. Review of the facility documentation showed RN-A stating Resident #237 was wandering in the hall anticipating a visit from her husband and was brought back to bed around 4:00 AM. CNA-C was on break and CNA-B was assisting another resident in the bathroom when Resident #237 left. Staff acknowledged that Resident #237's wandering increases after speaking with her husband. A wanderguard was placed on Resident #237 after the incident. In general, Resident #237 was considered easily redirected and once in bed was usually okay. She was not described as exit seeking prior to this incident. The Administrator said she started working at the facility at the end of October 2020. She was unaware Resident #237 had had a recent previous admission where she was given a wanderguard. The Administrator was unable to explain the decision to not provide Resident #237 with a wanderguard upon this admission. A follow up interview was conducted with the Administrator on 03/26/21 at 11:56 AM. The Administrator re-opened her investigation into the incident.

Or by any other means that appropriately conveys the resident's status 5. The physician/prescribing practitioner's recommended actions, in response to the medication issue, must be carried out by midnight of the next calendar day. 6. This drug regimen review process is an ongoing process throughout the resident's stay to ensure that clinically significant medication issues are identified and addressed in a timely manner. 7. Documentation in the medical record should include that the DRR was conducted, whether there were any potential clinically significant medication issues identified, when the physician was notified, any physician recommendations/orders and when those orders were carried out.

A 11/19/19 prescription called for [MEDICATION NAME] ([MEDICATION NAME]) 0.25 milligrams (MG) daily for anxiety 2. A 10/22/20 prescription called for [MEDICATION NAME] HCL SR ([MEDICATION NAME]) 15 MG daily for major [MEDICAL CONDITION] 3. A 05/22/18 prescription called for [MEDICATION NAME] HBR ([MEDICATION NAME]) 40 MG daily for major [MEDICAL CONDITION] 4. A 12/4/19 prescription called for [MEDICATION NAME] (Ambien) 5 MG daily for [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Review of Pharmacy Consultant recommendations for Resident #3 conducted 03/25/21 revealed a Pharmacist Recommendation, dated 11/18/20 that included: Comment: (Resident #3) has received [MEDICATION NAME] and [MEDICATION NAME] and both are due for (gradual dose reduction). Recommendation: Please attempt a gradual dose reduction (GDR) on at least one of these while concurrently monitoring for reemergence of target behaviors and/or withdrawal symptoms. Rationale for Recommendation: A GDR should be attempted in 2 separate quarters, with at least 1 month between attempts, within the first year in which an individual is admitted on a [MEDICAL CONDITION] medication or after the facility had initiated such medication and then annually unless clinically contraindicated. If this therapy is to continue, it is recommended that a) the prescriber document an assessment of risk versus benefit, indicating that it continues to be a valid therapeutic intervention for this individual; b) the record contains documentation of the dose reduction history, specific target behavior(s), desired outcomes(s), and the effectiveness of individualized nonpharmacological interventions (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy); and c) the facility Interdisciplinary team ensures ongoing monitoring for effectiveness and potential adverse consequences (e.g., drowsiness, nausea, headache). Physician's Response: I decline the recommendation(s) above because GDR is CLINICALLY CONTRAINDICATED for this individual as indicated below. Continued use is in accordance with the current standard of practice and a GDR attempt at this time is likely to impair this individual's function or cause psychiatric instability by exacerbating an underlying medical condition or psychiatric disorder AS DOCUMENTED BELOW. Please provide CMS REQUIRED patient-specific rationales describing why a GDR attempt is likely to impair function or cause psychiatric instability in this individual: The physician wrote in, Resident is stable on current dose. The form was signed on 03/16/21, 117 days after the date of the pharmacy recommendation. A facsimile receipt, dated 12/09/20 at 3:31 PM, showed two pages were sent and included an image of the cover page from the facility to the Doctor related to Resident #3, that read, Hello, Please review, sign and return. Thank you. Nothing was attached to the facsimile receipt, and no other related information was located, making it not possible to verify what was sent to the Doctor. Further record review conducted on 03/25/21 and 03/26/21 revealed no documentation showing the facility received a response from the Doctor related to this identified potential or actual clinically significant medication issue identified by their Pharmacy Consultant. There was no documentation showing facility nursing staff followed up with the Doctor related to this pharmacy recommendation for a GDR received by the facility at the end of November 2020. The pharmacy recommendation was not dated as reviewed and signed as responded to by the attending Doctor until 03/16/21, more than 90 days after the recommendation was received by the facility. Facility staff did not follow facility protocols related to compliance with state and federal regulations related to the use of [MEDICAL CONDITION] medications including regular review for the continued need, appropriate dosage, side effects, risks and/or benefits of the medication. Facility staff did not follow facility protocols related to ongoing monitoring, and reduction or discontinuance of [MEDICAL CONDITION] medications. In an interview conducted on 03/25/21 at 4:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated they looked in to it, and the only thing they could figure out was that the recommendation was sent to the doctor but no response was received back, but they have no documentation to support that. In a follow-up interview conducted on 03/26/21 at 12:54 PM, the DON stated she would check further for any follow-ups by staff with the doctor as the staff usually re-faxes it multiple times. At 1:50 PM, the DON presented the 12/09/20 facsimile mentioned above. She acknowledged there was no proof of what was attached, or if the doctor responded, and if not, no proof showing facility staff followed up with the doctor. By the time of exit conference, no additional documentation or information was received related to this concern.
