F 0690 During an interview on 5/28/25 at 9:10 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said when Resident #12 was admitted to the facility with an indwelling urinary catheter, the admitting Nurse should have assessed the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Resident's catheter in order to identify the type and size of catheter that was in place. The DON said the potential for actual harm following orders should have been requested from the Physician and should have been entered into the Resident's electronic health record (EHR) for catheter care and services: Residents Affected - Few -the type and size of the catheter.

-the balloon size for the catheter.

-frequency for catheter care to be provided.

-catheter change frequency.

-an as needed (PRN) order to include instructions, including flushing and changing the catheter, to address catheter associated complications.

The DON also said that residents with chronic indwelling urinary catheters would not always be monitored for fluid intake and would be routinely monitored for urinary output. The DON said monitoring urinary output was important to ensure the Resident's catheter was functioning properly.

During a follow-up interview on 5/28/25 at 10:15 A.M., the DON also said when Resident #12 had 100 cc of urine output, it would indicate a potential complication with the Foley catheter and should have been assessed and reported to the Provider right away to avoid complications such as catheter tube kinking or urine obstruction. The DON said there were no orders in place for care of Resident #12's indwelling urinary catheter when the reduced urine output was identified, and she was unable to identify the intervention provided to address the Resident's low urine output. The DON also said waiting two days to address low urinary catheter output was concerning and that staff should have assessed Resident #12's urinary catheter status sooner and obtained instructions timely to address the low urine output.

During an interview on 5/28/25 at 3:33 P.M., Nurse #3 said she could not remember the exact date, but she had worked at the facility with Resident #12 when the Resident experienced reduced urine output for a period of two days. Nurse #3 said she contacted the on-call Provider and that she could not recall whether

the on-call Provider had returned her call. Nurse #3 said she could not recall what she did to resolve the Resident's reduced urine output, and that if the on-call Provider had provided instructions, Nurse #3 would have included the instructions in a Progress Note and Physician order in the Resident's clinical record.

the first missed dose at 8:00 A.M. (10 hours since the last administered dose.)

During an interview on 5/27/25 at 11:51 A.M., Nurse Practitioner (NP) #1 said when a medication was not available to administer as ordered the Nurse should notify the Provider. NP #1 said the Provider can then give an order to hold if appropriate or can provide an order to administer an alternative medication from the emergency supply. NP #1 said she was not aware of a chronic issue regarding the unavailability of Resident #13's prescribed Oxycodone medication. NP #1 said nursing staff informed NP #1 when the Resident was admitted to the facility that the Resident's pain management interventions were not effective. NP #1 said she discussed with the Resident the option to be prescribed long-acting Oxycodone, but the Resident declined

the long-acting Oxycodone order and stated that his/her stomach could not tolerate this medication. NP #1 said the Resident is very particular about what medications he/she wanted and at what time he/she wanted to take the prescribed medications.

During an interview on 5/27/25 at 4:30 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said she was not aware of any times that Resident #13 did not have Oxycodone medication available for administration. The DON further said she also found that residents' medications were not always re-ordered timely.

During an interview on 5/28/25 at 9:10 A.M., the DON said the expectation is that medications are re-ordered by licensed nursing staff when the medication reached the red line (indicates medication level is running low and should be re-ordered) on the blister pack to allow the pharmacy time to refill the medication so that residents' medications were available to administer as ordered.

During an interview on 5/28/25 at 10:35 A.M., the DON said if a scheduled pain medication was not available for administration, the resident should be assessed for pain and asked whether they wanted to wait for the ordered medication to be delivered from the pharmacy or whether they wanted the Nurse to contact the Provider to request an alternative medication.

During an interview on 5/28/25 at 11:06 A.M., the Physician said that the facility should be notifying the Provider when a medication was not available for administration. The Physician also said if multiple doses in

a row of a scheduled short-acting pain medication were not administered to a resident, he would expect the resident to have increased pain.

Specifically, the facility failed to ensure Resident #32's wheelchair brakes were unlocked while seated in a wheelchair, in front of a counter, restricting his/her ability to move freely when the Resident had a history of attempting to stand up from a seated position.

Findings include:

Review of the facility policy titled Use of Restraints, revised 4/2017, indicated the following:

-Physical Restraints are defined as any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or equipment attached or adjusted to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or restricts normal access to ones' body.

-Practices that inappropriately utilize equipment to prevent resident mobility are considered restraints and are not permitted:

>Placing a resident in a chair that prevents the resident from rising.

>Placing a resident who uses a wheelchair so close to the wall that the wall prevents the resident from rising.

Resident #32 was admitted to the facility in February 2023, with diagnoses including syncope and collapse and Dementia with behavioral disturbances.

Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE REDACTED], indicated the following:

-Resident's behavior (rejection of care or wandering) had worsened since the prior assessment conducted 9/11/24.

-No impairment for upper extremity range of motion.

-No impairment for lower extremity range of motion.

she thought Resident #32 might be able to lock and unlock the brakes depending on the day but she was not Level of Harm - Minimal harm or sure. CNA #3 said the Resident preferred to be seated at the counter and if he/she was not seated there, the potential for actual harm Resident would become confused and try to get up from the wheelchair. CNA #3 said when the Resident was anxious or attempted to get up from the wheelchair, the staff would take him/her for a walk or to the Residents Affected - Few bathroom. CNA #3 said Resident # 32's daughter came in for lunch today and sat with the Resident during lunch. CNA #3 said staff had brought the Resident to the bathroom after lunch, placed him/her back at the counter in the hallway near the nurses station where he/she fell asleep shortly after. CNA #3 said if the staff were to put him/her to bed, the Resident would climb out, so CNA #3 felt it was safer for the Resident to be situated where he/she was (at the counter). When the surveyor asked about the wheelchair brakes being engaged, CNA #3 said the brakes should not be on, that the Resident had anti-tippers, and an anti-rollback device on the chair and with his/her energy level today, the Resident would not be able to unlock the brakes him/herself or free him/herself from his/her current position. CNA #2 said she thought the Resident's daughter may have placed the Resident in that position and must have put his/her brakes on when she left.

The surveyor observed at the end of the interviews on 5/27/25 at 3:12 P.M., that neither CNA #3 nor CNA #2, unlocked the Resident's wheelchair brakes, leaving Resident #32 pushed up to the nurses station counter with the wheelchair brakes engaged, restricting the Resident to this position and unable to move freely.

On 5/27/25 at 3:12 P.M., the surveyor observed a staff member rubbing Resident #32's back. Resident #32 awoke and began to engage with the staff. The staff member provided a baby doll with clothing and a baby doll seat, which the Resident began to engage with. The staff member walked away from the Resident, and

the wheelchair brakes remained engaged.

During an interview on 5/27/25 at 3:37 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said that the Resident preferred to be seated at the counter. The DON said in the Resident's current position, he/she would not be able to independently move him/herself but should be able to. The DON unlocked the wheelchair brakes and said

the brakes should not be locked, as the Resident had the anti-rollback wheels and the anti-tippers in place to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards or rolling away if he/she should stand up. The DON said the Resident does attempt to stand routinely and felt that the staff most likely thought they were doing the right thing in terms of safety. The DON further said that the Resident's current position with locked brakes did restrict the Resident's movement and the brakes should not have been engaged while the Resident was placed at the counter.
