This deficient practice had the potential to worsen the mental health symptoms of the resident, increase risk of relapse, decrease quality of life, and increase the likelihood of needing more intensive interventions like hospitalization in the future.
Findings:
A review of Resident 9's Admission Record indicated that the facility initially admitted Resident 9 on 2/27/2012 and readmitted the resident on 1/14/2025 with diagnoses that included schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized by disturbances in thought and false belief of reality).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025, indicated that Resident 9's cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) was intact.
The MDS indicated that Resident 9 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort of the task) from a person when performing most of her daily living activities.
A review of Resident 9's Change of Condition (COC) assessment, dated 1/16/2025 and 1/28/2025, indicated that Resident 9 showed an aggressive behavior towards the staff and residents. The COC dated 1/16/2025 indicated Resident 9 was trying to attack the staff and residents, went to a resident's room, and took the personal belongings of another resident. The COC on 1/28/2025 indicated that Resident 9 was again trying to strike out at the staff and residents.
A review of Resident 9's medical records indicated that the facility created a care plan on 1/28/2025 to address Resident 9's aggressive behavior towards the staff and residents. The interventions in the care plan included a consultation with a psychiatrist to evaluate the resident 's behavior.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 on 2/5/2025 at 1:51 PM, LVN 4 stated that she initiated a COC on 1/16/2025 since Resident 9 became physically and verbally aggressive towards the staff and other residents.
