F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 47679 potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of six sampled residents' (Resident Residents Affected - Few 129) assessment entry on the Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) was accurate and included the depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) diagnosis.

This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 129's plan of care and delivery of necessary care and services related to depression.

Findings:

During a review of Resident 129's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 129 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses that included psychosis (a state where a person loses touch with reality by experiencing things that are not real), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought).

During a review of Resident 129's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], the MDS indicated Resident 129's cognition (process of thinking) was moderately impaired). The MDS indicated Resident 129 required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene.

The MDS indicated Resident 129 received antidepressant medication (medication used to treat depression).

During a review of Resident 129's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/14/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 129 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.

During a review of Resident 129's Orders, start date 3/14/2025, the Orders indicated to give bupropion (an antidepressant medication) 150 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), by mouth, in the morning, for depression as manifested by lack of interest in participating in daily activities.

During a review of Resident 129's General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) Psychiatric Evaluation Note (a note recording the findings from a psychiatrist's periodic assessment), dated 2/25/2025, the Note indicated Resident 129 had psychiatric diagnoses that include major depressive disorder and schizophrenia.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/9/2025 at 1:45 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 129's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], was reviewed. The MDSC stated Resident 129's MDS did not indicate Resident 129 had depression as an active diagnosis. The MDSC stated Resident 129's diagnosis of depression should have been coded in the MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], due to Resident 129's use of antidepressant medication and depression diagnosis from the GACH. The MDSC stated an accurate MDS assessment was necessary to capture the needs of the resident and to develop the best patient-centered plan of care for the resident. The MDSC stated Resident 129's inaccurate MDS assessment could negatively impact care planning, which could increase the risk of Resident 129's needs not being fully met.

Resident 230 stated the earliest she had breakfast was 8:00 a.m. Resident 230 stated she did not understand why the nurses wanted to administer glipizide one and half hours before she eats. Resident 230 stated this was an unsafe practice that jeopardized her health.

During an interview on 4/10/2025 at 8:39 a.m. with Resident 230, Resident 230 stated she did not refuse glipizide. Resident 230 stated she asked the nurse if glipizide could be administered closer to the time that

she ate breakfast. Resident 230 stated the nurse said no because the medication administration time was at 6:30 a.m. Resident 230 stated no one came to her and offered her the medication after 6:30 a.m. Resident 230 stated the facility should change the time of the medication administration or offer her a snack when they want to administer the medication. Resident 230 stated it was in her best interest to refuse the medication if

the licensed nurses did not follow the physician's directions of administering glipizide 30 minutes before breakfast. Resident 230 stated if she took glipizide on an empty stomach her blood sugar will get very low and she will get hypoglycemic (a condition where the blood sugar (glucose) levels drop below normal).
