F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** The facility had a census of 75 residents. The sample included three residents, with one reviewed for a change of condition. Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to notify Resident (R) 1's representative when Resident R1 had a change in condition. This deficient practice placed Resident R1 at risk for a lack of required decision from her representative for treatment.Findings included:- Resident R1's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) documented Resident R1 had diagnoses of cerebral infarction (stroke - sudden death of brain cells due to lack of oxygen caused by impaired blood flow to the brain by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain) and thrombophilia (blood disorder that makes the blood in your veins (blood vessels that carry oxygen filled blood towards the heart) and arteries (blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart) more likely to clot).Resident R1's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE REDACTED], documented the resident had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) of nine, which indicated moderately impaired cognition. The MDS documented Resident R1 had no upper or lower extremity impairment and used a walker for mobility. The MDS documented Resident R1 required supervision with transfers and ambulation 10 feet (ft).Resident R1's Care Plan, revised 08/05/25, documented Resident R1 required limited one staff assistance with mobility in the room with a walker. The Nurse's Note dated 07/12/25 at 10:34 PM documented the nurse observed Resident R1 with vomiting and diarrhea throughout the day. Staff administered Maalox (antacid medication), 10 milliliters (ml), and two Imodium (over-the-counter medication used to treat diarrhea), 2 milligrams (mg), tablets to Resident R1. Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed a lack of documentation. Resident R1's representative was informed of the change in condition.The Nurse's Note dated 07/14/25 at 01:17 PM documented Resident R1 had a rough weekend with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and had a hard time transferring. The note documented Resident R1 slept in, took her morning medications, got up for lunch, and ate some of her meal. The note documented staff checked her vitals, and they were within normal limits for Resident R1. The nurse assessed Resident R1's hand grasp, and they were equal on both sides. The note documented Resident R1 had a hard time cutting up her meat, and the nurse notified

the physician and Resident R1's representative three days after Resident R1's initial change in condition.On 09/02/25 at 10:22 AM, Administrative Nurse D verified a lack of documentation in Resident R1's clinical record, regarding staff notifying

the resident's representative of Resident R1's change of condition on 07/12/25. Administrative Nurse D stated she would expect staff to notify the representative as soon as Resident R1 had nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.Upon request, the facility failed to provide a change in condition policy.
