CNA #9 was interviewed on 7/30/24 11:47 a.m. CNA #9 said he used to be a shower aide at the facility but since a full time position as shower aide was eliminated with the new management, he was working as a CNA on various shifts. He said, on some rare occasions like today (7/30/24), he was assigned to work as a shower aide.
CNA #9 said the facility used to have a schedule for showers where he and other CNAs were assigned to complete the showers. However, he said with new changes and new agency staff in the building, the old schedule did not work because agency CNAs would tell the facility staff what they would do and would not do. He said the rest of the staff would have to scramble and do extra work to provide the care that agency staff would not do. He said agency staff were frequently late or did not show up for work at all and that compromised the care for residents. He said he was certain many showers were missed for residents due to late arrivals and call offs by agency staff.
Registered nurse (RN) #2 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 11:59 a.m. RN #2 said she was an agency nurse and worked in the building on several occasions on different shifts, including weekends. She said she did not know about shower preferences as it was CNAs responsibility to provide showers.

CNA #11 was interviewed on 7/30/24 12:23 p m. CNA #11 said she was new to the unit and worked different shifts. She said she did not know when residents were to receive showers. She said she looked at the roster
the facility provided to her before shifts and said showers or any specific resident preferences were not mentioned on that roster.
The director of nursing (DON) was interviewed in the presence of a nursing home administrator (NHA) on 7/30/24 at 5:20 p.m. The DON said the facility had identified that shower preferences were missed, and they were actively working on implementing a new system to ensure showers were provided per preferences. She said unit managers were working to ensure that agency staff had easy access to residents' preferences and would be updating it on the rosters that staff received at the beginning of the shift.
The DON said the facility did employ agency staff and all staff were provided with the policies and expectations of the facility.

The note documented this was a problem with the resident's teeth, but a speech evaluation was discussed.
The 7/17/24 weight meeting note revealed the resident's weight had increased by 2.5 pounds in five days to 103 lbs.
Weight meeting notes between 7/22/24 and 7/24/24 revealed the resident consumed 50% or more of her meals but was still losing weight. The resident's doctor and daughter were updated and a daily four ounce nutritional supplement was ordered on 7/24/24.
The 7/29/24 restorative nursing note revealed Resident #93 needed total assistance with food intake, and continued verbal/tactile cueing to drink fluids at most meals. She ate 50 to 75% of her meals, and recommendations included continuing with the restorative nursing program and re-evaluating as needed.
-Review of Resident #93's meal intake record revealed between 7/1/24 and 7/30/24, the resident consumed 50% or less of over half of her meals.
The July 2024 CPO revealed the following orders:
-Regular diet, easy to chew, thin liquids total supervision/assistance, no straws, use of two handed cups with
a lid, and that softer textures may be ordered if appropriate, ordered on 6/6/24.

F 0692 CNA #3 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 10:31 a.m. CNA #3 said Resident #93 could not say what she wanted or liked to eat. She said, through trial and error, the facility determined she preferred sandwiches. She said Level of Harm - Actual harm sandwiches were easier for her to pick up and the restorative nurse aide who worked with her suggested them. She said Resident #93 needed varying amounts of assistance depending on her mood. She said the Residents Affected - Few resident did not have a physical problem preventing her from being able to pick up her food, it was her mood that interfered. CNA #3 said if the resident was sad or anxious, she started crying, coughing and occasionally vomited, which prevented her from finishing eating. CNA #3 said staff talked to her to keep her occupied and happy, because then she would eat more. She said the resident's appetite had been pretty poor the last few weeks and thought she was now on an oral nutritional supplement.
LPN #1 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 12:53 p.m. LPN #1 said she noticed the resident needed assistance with eating and had asked staff to help her eat. She said if a resident could not state their food preferences,
she would ask whoever was caring for them before they were admitted to the facility.
The dietary manager (DM) was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 1:44 p.m. The DM said Resident #93's food and drink preferences changed depending on her level of confusion. She said she thought the CNAs chose her meals. The DM said, per the resident's EMR, she started taking a house supplement on 7/23/24 because
she had a 7.5% weight loss of 11 lbs. She said the restorative nursing program had requested sandwiches for the resident to help her regain some independence with eating. The DM said she sometimes gave the resident handheld snacks, such as brownies and sweets.
RD #2 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 2:01 p.m. RD #2 said Resident #93 had lost about 10 lbs since April 2024, but was fairly stable until July 2024. RRD #2 said the provider and the resident's daughter were notified of the weight loss, a supplement was ordered and the resident started working with the restorative nursing program. She said originally, the resident refused the supplement, but after losing weight and talking to the resident's daughter, she agreed to take it. RD #2 said if the restorative nursing staff found something a resident liked, they offered that in addition to regular food items on the menu. She said Resident #93's food preferences were discussed at the care conference with the resident's daughter in April 2024. RD #2 said
they learned the resident preferred home foods, grilled items, fast food and snacks that the family brought to
the facility. RD #2 said the facility did not document consumption of family snacks because those were considered self-administered.
The director of rehabilitation (DOR) was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 2:01 p.m. The DOR said when the weight loss was noticed in April 2024, the resident was added to the restorative program for eating and swallowing.
She said for the past month (July 2024) the resident needed almost total assistance with eating and cueing, including showing her the motions and providing some touch-assist. She said sometimes the resident ate by herself, but other times she needed full assistance. She said the resident's meal intake stayed consistent between 50 to 75%.
CNA #4 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 3:03 p.m. CNA #4 said Resident #93 could point to pictures of food and say yes or no but could not say verbally what she wanted to eat. She said when she asked the resident what she wanted to eat, she offered the main entree first and showed her pictures so the resident could choose, before offering her a sandwich. She said she had never seen snacks in the resident's room and that her family was rarely there. She said she only saw Resident #93 snacking when occupational therapy was evaluating her. She said some of the CNAs had snacks that residents could eat, but she had not seen Resident #93 eating them and had never seen documentation of snacks eaten.

F 0692 CNA #5 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 3:14 p.m. CNA #5 said the CNAs took meal orders and circled chosen items on the meal ticket. He said CNAs kept track of how much residents ate, especially residents Level of Harm - Actual harm who received meal assistance or were being watched for weight loss. He said if a resident ordered a sandwich, chips and jello for lunch and they only ate one-fourth of the sandwich, he would document that the Residents Affected - Few resident ate 0 to 25% of the meal. He said if a resident ate that little of a meal, he would write a progress note and tell the nurse. He said if the decreased intake became a trend, it should be documented in the resident's EMR.
LPN #3 was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 3:18 p.m. LPN #3 said she never saw snacks in the resident's room that the family had provided. She said she had seen the resident eat snacks before that were provided by one of the CNAs who had snacks for residents. LPN #3 said, in addition to the drinks Resident #93 had at meals, she encouraged fluids throughout the day and tried to give her water from her pitcher. She said the resident had not shown any signs of dehydration.
RD #1 was interviewed via the phone on 7/30/24 at 4:16 p.m. RD #1 said she had only been employed at the facility for 24 hours so she did not know Resident #93 personally. She said she reviewed the resident's EMR and said the resident had weight loss of 7.5% since 5/8/24, which she considered significant. She said the resident was around 110 lbs to 111 lbs in April 2024, then had steady weight loss since May 2024. RD #1 said, given that information, she would have done a full assessment, requested the resident's food and liquid intake, and talked to nursing staff. She said if the resident was able, she would talk to the resident. She said
she would have written a progress note, particularly if the weight loss occurred between quarterly assessments.
RD #1 said in April 2024, the previous RD had recommended adding a nutritional supplement after dinner.

He said he came to the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or facility the next morning and said the resident was more confused than normal. He said the resident's nasal potential for actual harm cannula was not in her nose and was on top of the oxygen machine by the closet. The representative said he assumed that meant she did not get her oxygen overnight. He said he thought a CNA noticed in the morning Residents Affected - Few and told the NHA because the NHA called the family later that day. He said there had been a few times he had noticed the nasal cannula had not been in her nose and the resident did not have the dexterity to put it back in herself. He said the staff did check her oxygen levels but he was not sure how often. The representative said the staff told him that even when she was not wearing her oxygen, her saturations were within normal limits.
D. Record review
The July 2024 CPO revealed the resident had a physician's order that indicated to administer oxygen at a rate of two liters per minute via nasal cannula every shift for hypoxia, ordered 4/12/24.
The care plan, revised on 9/19/23, revealed the resident had oxygen therapy related to ineffective gas exchange. The oxygen was ordered at two liters per minute continuously. Interventions included changing her position often to ease movement and drainage of fluid in the lungs, positioning the resident to facilitate breathing and oxygenation by assisting her into an upright position whenever possible.
The care plan revealed if the resident was on her side, her good side should be down (damaged lung facing up). The care plan indicated the resident should be monitored for signs and symptoms of respiratory distress and, if noted, reported to the physician.
-The care plan did not address interventions to ensure the resident was wearing her nasal cannula and getting her oxygen as ordered.
A review of the resident's electronic medical record (EMR) revealed between 7/1/24 and 7/29/24, the resident's oxygen saturations were documented three times per day and were 90% or above. On 7/12/24,
they were not documented in the morning check.

F 0759 IV. Staff interviews
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or LPN #4 was interviewed on 7/24/24 at 10:05 a.m. LPN #4 said that when items were color-coded red on the potential for actual harm medication administration record (MAR), it meant that something was late or missing.
Residents Affected - Some RN #1 was interviewed on 7/24/24 at 10:50 a.m. RN #1 said he was an agency nurse and this was his first day working on the unit. He said he did not know specific preferences for the residents and it took extra time for him to find out what the preferences were. He said, for example, he had to approach Resident #87 three times before he was able to administer her morning medications. RN #1 said initially Resident #87 said she would take her medications only with warm to hot water due to her tooth sensitivity. He said when he came back with warm water she did not like that he had mixed her miralax medication with the hot water and he had to remix the miralax in a separate cup and bring a fresh cup of hot water.
He said because he had to approach Resident #87 three times with her medications, he forgot about her nasal spray.
LPN #2 was interviewed during medication administration on 7/29/24 at 9:23 a.m. LPN #2 said she had a lot of medications to give and she was behind and did not want to be slowed down by being interviewed.
The DON was interviewed on 7/30/24 at 5:14 p.m. The DON said all medications that were labeled as AM could be administered any time between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. However, she said medications that were scheduled at a specific time should be administered as scheduled. The DON said because it was not possible to administer all medications at the exact scheduled hour, it was acceptable to administer medications one hour before or one hour after the documented scheduled time. She said she was not aware that medications were not administered on time. She said she would audit the medication administration to ensure all medications were administered on time.
