) Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one (1) of two (2) sampled residents (Resident 26) was given appropriate treatment for a Stage 2 (the skin breaks open; it can look like an abrasion, blister, or a shallow crater of the skin) Pressure injury (injury to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin).
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 26's pressure injury progressing from a Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD, inflammation or skin erosion caused by prolonged exposure to a source of moisture such as urine stool, sweat, wound drainage, saliva, or mucus) wound, to a stage 2 pressure injury.
Findings:
A review of Resident 26's Admission Record indicated the resident was a admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with the diagnoses of muscle weakness and osteoporosis (a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bones changes)
A review of Resident 26's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/13/2023, indicated resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool), dated 6/8/2024, indicated resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills for daily decision making. MDS also indicated resident required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, lower body dressing and personal hygiene. Resident required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with shower/bathe self and putting on/taking off footwear.
A review of Resident 26's Braden Scale (tool used to indicate risk for developing pressure injuries), dated 3/8/2024, indicated resident was at risk of developing pressure injuries.
A review of Resident 26's Braden Scale, dated 6/8/2024, indicated resident was at risk of developing pressure injuries.
During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 10:08 AM, Treatment Nurse 1 (TN 1) stated Resident 26 initially had MASD on the sacrum area which has now developed into a stage 2 pressure injury since 6/21/2024. TN 1 stated the doctor was not notified of Resident 26's pressure injury, therefore there was no wound treatment orders to care for Resident 26's stage 2 pressure injury. TN 1 also stated there was no Change of Condition (COC; a sudden deviation from the resident's baseline in physical, cognitive, behavioral, or functional domains) form completed for Resident 26's progression of wound to a stage 2 pressure injury.

ADON stated that there was no care plan implemented for resident to be on a scheduled toileting program.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 11:59 AM with ADON, ADON stated that a toileting schedule is when the licensed nurse assesses what times to schedule to either take or assist a resident to the restroom, offer bedside commode (portable toilet) or bed pan (a receptacle used by a bedridden resident as a toilet). ADON also stated that although Resident 82 has a Foley catheter (brand name for urinary indwelling catheter which is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder that remains there to provide continuous urinary drainage), the resident could still be on scheduled toileting program for bowel movement but currently is not on one. ADON further stated that if Resident 82 was assessed to be a candidate, then the resident should be on a scheduled toileting program since it helps residents improve incontinence status, practice independence, and promote dignity.

F 0695 A review of Resident 63's H&P, dated 5/17/2023, H&P indicated the resident does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of Resident 63's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], indicated the resident had severe impairment (difficulty with or unable to make decisions, learn, remember things) with their cognitive (ability to think, remember, and Residents Affected - Some reason) ability for daily decision making, and was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with transfers (how resident moves to and from bed, chair, wheelchair), dressing (how a resident puts on, fastens and takes off all items of clothing), personal hygiene & eating.
A review of Resident 63's Order Summary Report dated 6/28/2024, indicated on 5/25/2023 it was ordered that the resident may suction excessive secretions (fluid produced by the glands that line the nose, mouth, throat and windpipe) as needed. It also indicated an order for the resident to have Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution (a medication used to help control the symptoms of lung diseases] 0.2-2.5 (3) milligrams (mg; a unit of measurement) per 3 milliliters (ml; a unit of measurement) via inhalation orally every 4 hours as needed for wheezing.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2024 at 8:37 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) in Resident 63's room, a suction machine was observed on Resident 63's nightstand with no canister or yaunker set up or attached. LVN 4 stated that there is no yaunker or suction canister set up at the resident's bedside and that there should be always one available in case the resident needs their respiratory secretions suctioned.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/27/2024 at 10:36 AM with CNA 4 inside Resident 63's room, Resident 63's nebulizer NC tubing was observed partly in the bag with the main body of the tubing on
the floor. CNA 4 stated that the resident's nebulizer NC tubing is touching the floor.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/27/2024 at 10:36 AM with LVN 5 in Resident 63's room, Resident 63's nebulizer NC tubing was observed partly bin the bag with the rest of the tubing touching the floor. LVN 5 stated that the resident's nebulizer NC tubing is touching the floor and that it should not be for infection control purposes.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 2:33 PM with Infection Preventionist (IP), IP stated that all oxygen tubing and water containers for humidified oxygen should be labeled with the date it was changed or first use for infection control and so that staff know when the tubing was last changed. IP also stated that all NC tubing either for use with oxygen or nebulizer treatment should be stored in a bag when not in use and should not be touching the floor due to infection control and further stated that when a resident is ordered for suction as needed, it is important that a full set up with the suction machine, canister and yaunker always be present at
the bedside and has been set up because it puts the resident at risk for aspiration if it is not readily available.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 4:23 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that there is no policy for suctioning or for the storage of oxygen and nebulizer tubing to be off the floor and not touching the floor. The DON further stated that it is important that there is a policy to address these subjects so that all staff know how to perform those respiratory interventions properly.

During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 11:56 AM, LVN 4 stated when the medication is between six (6) to seven (7) left in stock, the licensed nurse should have called the pharmacy to order refill. LVN 4 also stated
the nurse in charge of passing the medications for Resident 54 needed to be more attentive to how much gabapentin was left on the resident's stock otherwise there is a possibility for the resident to experience nerve pains due to not receiving the medication as scheduled. LVN 4 further stated Resident 54 missed his morning dose today (6/27/2024) of gabapentin because the staff in charge on previous days failed to order
the refill.

A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Water Management, revised 5/25/2023, the P&P indicated:
Following national, state and local guidelines, the team will identify needed control measures based on the risk assessment performed, and how to monitor them. Physical and chemical measures recommended by
the American Association of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) that may be applied for the prevention and control of Legionella include, but are not limited to:
o Quarterly measurement of water quality throughout the system to ensure changes that may lead to Legionella growth are not occurring.
A review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Center for Clinical Standards and Quality/Survey and Certification Group letter titled, Requirement to Reduce Legionella Risk in Healthcare Facility Water Systems to Prevent Cases and Outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease (LD), dated 6/2/2017, indicated facilities Implement a water management program that considers the ASHRAE industry standard and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) toolkit, and includes control measures such as physical controls, temperature management, disinfectant level control, visual inspections and environmental testing for pathogens. It also indicated facilities Specify testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures and document the results of testing and corrective actions taken when control limits are not maintained.
A review of the CDC's toolkit titled, Developing a Water Management Program to Reduce Legionella Growth & Spread in Buildings, dated 6/24/2021, indicated, Now that you have a water management program, you need to be sure that it is effective. Your program team should establish procedures to confirm, both initially and on an ongoing basis that the water management program effectively controls the hazardous conditions throughout the building water systems. This step is called validation. Environmental testing for Legionella is useful to validate the effectiveness of control measures. The program team should determine if environmental testing for Legionella should be performed and, if so, how test results will be used to validate
