The UM indicated she went to resident #276's room with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) to speak with them. She explained she told them there was a physician's order for the urine Residents Affected - Few sample and since resident #276 could not urinate, the nurse asked if she could collect the sample with a catheter instead. The UM told her resident #276 had approved of the procedure. The UM indicated resident #276, Could not really understand the nurse, I think it was miscommunication. The UM stated when she reviewed the TAR she noticed there was no documentation of RN Q's collection of the U/A in resident #276's medical record. She confirmed there was no physician order for the alternate collection procedure, which was required for the urinary catheterization. She validated the Lab log showed urine was collected on 8/07/24 for resident #276's and her assigned nurse was RN Q.

On 8/15/24 at 5:57 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she was unaware RN Q did not document she had collected the urine specimen without a new order. She confirmed RN Q did not have an order to collect

the urine specimen using a straight catheter. She explained their process for collection of U/A which was collected by the night shift nurses. She confirmed there was no evidence the urine was collected on 8/05/24 as documented in the TAR. She validated there was no evidence the urine sample was sent to the laboratory

before 8/07/24. She explained RN Q was required to obtain a new physician's order to collect the urine specimen using a straight catheter and repeated there was no order to recollect the urine sample and no order for straight catheter. She stated the assigned nurse on 8/05/24 should have never signed the U/A completed if not done. She stated RN Q should have verified the orders and notified the physician to obtain a new order. The DON validated RN Q performed the catheterization without a physician's order.

Resident stated he was not receiving OT, and did not have a palm cone. A blue palm cone was observed on his nightstand and the resident explained he no longer needed to wear it.

Review of the OT evaluation and plan of treatment with a certification period from 3/23/23 to 4/21/23 revealed resident #42 was referred for OT by nursing due to a new onset of weakness, reduced functional endurance, and increased fisting posture in the right hand. The note indicated the new conditions placed the resident's right palm at risk for wounds. Further review of OT treatment notes dated 3/23/23 revealed a short-term goal that resident #42 would tolerate the right palm cone daily for 3 hours without signs or symptoms of adverse effects to reduce risk of skin breakdown in the palm of his hand. The document indicated resident #42 tolerated the palm cone for one hour as of 3/23/23.

He explained the DON oversaw the restorative program, and she was responsible for communicating with the MDS coordinator to create the care plan. The DON would also be responsible for communicating with the west wing UM for the new order. Resident #42 was compliant with wearing the palm cone while receiving OT services, but the DOR said that sometimes resident #42 would refuse to wear it. He explained that it was important for the resident to wear the palm cone to prevent skin breakdown.

On 8/15/24 at 10:50 AM, the west wing UM stated that resident #42 did not have a palm cone because his name was not on the list of residents with palm cones. She said that she received a list of residents with palm cones from the DON and it would be placed at the nurse's station. She looked in resident #42's medical

record and confirmed there was an order for a palm cone dated 3/23/23. The DON stated that resident #42 refuses medical care sometimes. She was unsure why the DON had not added the resident to the palm cone list. The west wing UM stated that the DON was the person responsible for the restorative program and for communicating with the MDS coordinators. [NAME] wing UM explained that it was important for resident #42 to use the palm cone to prevent skin breakdown.

Review of resident #42's medical record revealed that there were no care plans addressing restorative services or palm cone usage.
