Findings include:

Resident R48's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE REDACTED], identified severely impaired cognition and no rejection of care or behaviors. Diagnoses included stroke, renal insufficiency, diabetes, aphasia (inability to speak), and malnutrition. Total assistance of two staff was required for bed mobility and transfers; and two stage three pressure ulcers, one unstageable pressure ulcer and diabetic foot ulcer were present.

Resident R48's significant change Care Area Assessment (CAA) dated 3/22/24, triggered and identified Resident R48 was at risk for developing a pressure injury and other non-pressure related skin concerns. Nursing was directed to continue to monitor for changes in condition, update provider on concerns, complete a weekly skin check and proceed to care plan.

Resident R48's pressure ulcer care plan dated 6/26/24, identified a sacral pressure ulcer, two toe pressure ulcers, one diabetic foot ulcer and a left gluteus (muscles in the buttock/hip area) pressure ulcer. The wound care providers followed due to alterations in skin integrity, and the goal was to remain infection free. Staff were directed to monitor for skin breakdown, for signs/symptoms of infection and to report signs/symptoms to the providers. The care plan lacked direction for wound care dressing change orders.

Resident R48's wound care provider orders dated 5/29/24, and 6/5/24, lacked orders or assessment of the left gluteus pressure ulcer. Orders dated 6/12/24, identified a stable stage two left hip [gluteus] wound. Apply foam daily and follow wound care team weekly.

Resident R48's electronic medical record (EMR) orders dated 6/12/24 through 6/26/24, lacked documentation of dressing change orders for the left gluteus pressure ulcer.

Resident R48's medication administration record (MAR) and treatment administration record (TAR) dated 6/12/24 through 6/26/24 lacked documentation of the above ordered dressing changes to the left gluteus pressure ulcer.

F 0686 During an observation and interview on 6/26/24 at 1:01 p.m., nurse practitioner (NP)-A, an unidentified wound care provider, and LPN-D entered Resident R48's room for weekly wound care provider rounds. NP-A removed Level of Harm - Minimal harm or a wet, foam dressing from Resident R48's left gluteus pressure ulcer. NP-A stated the wound was wet with drainage potential for actual harm this week, so she was going to change the wound care orders to include calcium alginate (fiber used to treat moderate to heavily draining wounds) and a foam dressing. LPN-D and surveyor reviewed the EMR to find Residents Affected - Few no current orders for left gluteus dressing changes. NP-A stated the dressing changes should be in the EMR for the facility nurses to follow.

During an interview on 6/26/24 at 2:49 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated she could not find orders for

the left gluteus pressure ulcer dressing changes in the EMR, and it was expected the nurse attending wound rounds would enter the orders into the EMR.

During a follow up interview on 6/26/24 at 3:38 p.m., with NP-A, the DON, facility administrator, regional nurse consultant (RNC), and an unidentified regional consultant, NP-A reviewed her wound care notes and verified the foam dressing orders should have been entered into the EMR following her 6/12/24, wound care rounds; and the left hip phraseology meant left gluteus. NP-A stated she expected her orders to be entered into the facility EMR to ensure continuity of care and to help prevent infections. NP-A stated she included the same orders as 6/12/24, for foam dressing change daily; in her 6/19/24, wound care orders (notes were requested and not provided) and on 6/26/24 wound care orders, she changed the orders to a foam dressing with calcium alginate (notes were requested and not provided). NP-A stated she did not believe the lack of dressing change orders, or the ability to review documentation if the dressing changes were completed as ordered contributed to Resident R48's wound becoming a wet pressure ulcer.

The facility policy titled Skin Assessment and Wound Management dated 3/2024, identified when a pressure ulcer was identified the provider would be notified and treatment ordered, including updating the care plan with interventions.

F 0689 During interview and observation on 6/24/24 between 2:17 p.m., and 2:21 p.m., Resident R19 was in a gown and trying to get out of bed, stating he had to go to the bathroom. Resident R19 was incontinent of stool and was Level of Harm - Minimal harm or positioned on his left side with a pillow under him. At 2:18 p.m., nursing assistant (NA)-E was alerted Resident R19 potential for actual harm was trying to get out of bed and came into Resident R19's room. Resident R19's care sheet indicated Resident R19 was supposed to have a mat on the floor next to the bed. NA-F verified Resident R19's care sheet indicated Resident R19 was to have a mat on Residents Affected - Few the floor. Resident R19's care plan was viewed and indicated Resident R19 was to have a mat on the floor and a low bed and NA-F verified there was no mat on the floor.

During interview on 6/24/24 at 2:39 p.m., licensed practical nurse manager (LPN)-E stated Resident R19 fell a couple of weeks ago and needed the floor mat to be down and expected staff to follow the care plans.

During interview on 6/25/24 at 1:25 p.m., LPN-E later stated they spoke about the mat the day prior and thought the fall was more of a toileting issue that morning and stated if the residents don't need to use the mat, they are discontinued and stated they discussed checking Resident R19 in the morning and stated he was not at

the IDT meeting.

During interview on 6/25/24, at 1:52 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated Resident R19 had the mat on the floor because Resident R19 was trying to self transfer and had fallen due to a change in condition and stated Resident R19 went to

the hospital with a urinary tract infection and stated they changed his intervention yesterday a.m. The DON stated when they have IDT, they discussed it in the morning and then staff are updated on changes and stated they communicate with staff and the nurse manager communicates with staff and further stated she would expect staff to follow the care plan.

During observation on 6/26/24 at 8:18 a.m., Resident R19 was in bed sleeping and his bed was all the way down to

the floor. There was no wheelchair located next to the bed and no mat was on the floor.

During interview on 6/26/24 at 12:42 p.m., nurse practitioner (NP)-B stated she was notified of falls via email or phone call and stated she was not not updated on any intervention changes with the mat until the DON updated her today.

A policy, Fall Prevention and Management, indicated the purpose of the protocol was to identify residents at risk for falls, implement fall prevention interventions, provide guidelines for assessing a resident after a fall and to assist staff in identifying causes of the fall. Nursing staff will complete a Fall Risk Evaluation to identify and document resident's risk factors for falls upon admission, annually, with a significant change in condition and as needed. Facility staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and try to minimize complications from falling. If falling recurs despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions or indicate why the current approach remains relevant.

A Daily Huddle Notes form was later provided dated 6/24/24, no time identified, that indicated Resident R19's floor mat would be removed and staff would complete safety checks around 6:00 a.m., to 6:30 a.m., to make sure Resident R19 was comfortable and dry, however there was no information in Resident R19's medical record at the time of the

observation on 6/24/24, to indicate the floor mat was discontinued.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 42579 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and document review, the facility failed to ensure respiratory status was Residents Affected - Few monitored and assessed on an ongoing basis, and that respiratory medications were provided as indicated for 1 of 1 resident (Resident R50) reviewed with newly prescribed oxygen use.

Findings include:

Resident R50's significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE REDACTED], identified severely impaired cognition, no rejection of care; diagnoses of psychosis, irregular heart rate, high blood pressure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD/chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lung). No supplemental oxygen use was identified. Resident R50 required extensive assist with bed mobility and was independent with eating but required set up.

Resident R50's activities of daily living (ADL) care area assessment (CAA) dated 5/8/24, was triggered because the resident required assist with cares and had impaired cognition. Nursing was directed to monitor for changes

in condition, update provider as necessary on concerns if observed, and to proceed with care plan.

Resident R50's care plan dated 1/19/24, lacked interventions for oxygen use. The care plan identified a potential for respiratory distress related to COPD. Interventions included: elevate head of bed to alleviate shortness of breath, position resident with proper body alignment for optimal breathing pattern, give aerosol or bronchodilators as ordered, and monitor and document any side effects and effectiveness. Lastly, Resident R50 should be monitored for signs and symptoms of acute respiratory insufficiency: anxiety, confusion, restlessness, shortness of breath at rest, cyanosis, and somnolence.

Resident R50's physician orders dated 3/17/24, identified: albuterol sulfate inhaler 108 mcg of albuterol sulfate (90 mcg of albuterol base) give two puffs by mouth every six hours as needed (PRN) for wheezing or shortness of breath.

Resident R50's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 4/1/24 through 6/27/24, lacked administration of the PRN albuterol inhaler.

Resident R50's physician orders dated 6/24/24, lacked orders for oxygen use.

Resident R50's progress notes identified:

- 6/4/24 at 1:03 p.m., the nursing assistant notified nursing of Resident R50's generalized weakness. Oxygen saturations were 87% and the nurse practitioner (NP) was notified.

- 6/4/24 at 6:43 p.m., the NP returned the phone call and orders for chest x-ray, covid test, blood work and oxygen at two LPM to keep oxygen saturations greater than 88%. Oxygen saturations were 86 % on room air and after oxygen was placed rose to 94%.

- 6/5/24 at 2:47 p.m., chest x-ray showed no acute abnormalities, covid test negative and no respiratory distress was observed.

F 0695 During an observation on 6/24/24 at 12:35 p.m., Resident R50 was in bed, an oxygen machine was running and set at two liters per minute (LPM). The nasal cannula or bubbler was not dated. Resident R50's nasal cannula (oxygen Level of Harm - Minimal harm or delivery tubing) was not in her nares but was on her bed mattress. Resident R50 had labored breathing as evidence potential for actual harm by nose flaring and grunting while taking deep breaths. Resident R50 was woken up and asked if she was breathing ok. Resident R50 said she was ok because she had her oxygen, she picked up the cannula and asked for help placing Residents Affected - Few it on and fell back asleep.

During a follow up observation and document review on 6/24/24 at 12:44 p.m., Resident R50's nasal cannula was properly placed in her nares, and breathing was regular.

Resident R50's medical record from 6/24/24, lacked a respiratory assessment, oxygen saturations, respiratory rate, or response to treatment identifying why oxygen was in use without an order in the electronic medical record. Resident R50's oxygen saturations (blood oxygen level), heart rate or respiratory rate had not been checked since 6/21/24, and at that time she measured 92% on oxygen (normal range is between 92% and 100%.)

During an interview on 6/24/24 at 6:48 p.m., nursing assistant (NA)-B stated she worked on Resident R50's hallway routinely, the oxygen had been in her room for a couple of weeks and the nurses were responsible for maintaining the oxygen. NA-B stated Resident R50 had shortness of breath occasionally and they would update the nurse if it occurred.

During an observation and interview on 6/25/24 at 1:58 p.m., Resident R50 was in bed with an oxygen concentrator in her room and it was not running. The nasal cannula was on the floor. Resident R50 asked where her oxygen tubing was and asked for it on. Resident R50's call light was activated, and NA-D entered the room. NA-D stated she worked with Resident R50 routinely and she had oxygen in use intermittently over the past couple of weeks. Registered nurse (RN)-B entered the room, picked the nasal cannula off the floor, and left to get new tubing. RN-B returned, put the tubing on the concentrator, turned it on to two LPM, placed the nasal cannula in Resident R50's nose and left

the room. RN-B had not completed a respiratory assessment before or after treatment with oxygen.

During an interview on 6/25/24 at 2:35 p.m. licensed practical nurse (LPN)-B stated he worked with Resident R50 today and if a resident required oxygen an order needed to be in place and monitoring should be completed. LPN-B stated he had not seen an order on the MAR for Resident R50 to use oxygen. LPN-B stated he saw oxygen in Resident R50's room over the past couple of weeks but had not checked if an order was in place.

During an interview on 6/25/24 at 3:28 p.m., RN-A stated she was familiar with Resident R50, and she had not required oxygen use historically, however, oxygen was in use at this time. RN-B stated a respiratory assessment should be documented with oxygen use and especially for residents with COPD due to the risk of retaining carbon dioxide in the lungs.

During a follow up interview on 6/25/24 at 3:32 p.m., RN-B reviewed Resident R50's orders and could not find an order for the oxygen he placed earlier today. RN-B agreed a respiratory assessment should be done before and

after oxygen therapy to assess effectiveness. RN-B was not sure if there was a risk in residents with COPD that were given oxygen without an assessment and was not sure if using Resident R50's PRN inhaler was an appropriate intervention to complaints of shortness of breath and would need to check on some things and follow up later.

The Level of Harm - Minimal harm or written order identified oxygen at two LPM via nasal cannula to keep oxygen saturations greater than 88%. potential for actual harm RN-B agreed he had not checked oxygen saturations before implementing in accordance with the provider orders. Residents Affected - Few

During an observation on 6/26/24 at 10:21 a.m., Resident R50 was in bed with the oxygen concentrator running and

the nasal cannula on the floor. Resident R50 asked for her inhaler. LPN-C was notified and entered the room, Resident R50 stated her inhaler was on the floor, LPN-C looked on the floor and stated there was no inhaler. LPN-C asked if Resident R50 meant her oxygen cannula, handed it to her, but stated he needed to get new tubing since it was on

the floor. LPN-C was asked by surveyor if giving the albuterol inhaler PRN would be appropriate for Resident R50's complaints of shortness of breath and he stated he would have to talk to the nurse manager. LPN-C left Resident R50's room and had not checked oxygen saturations nor completed a respiratory assessment.

During an interview on 6/26/24 at 2:49 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) stated oxygen use and respiratory assessments should be based on provider order and nursing judgement.

A policy for respiratory assessments was requested and not provided. Instead, the facility's undated standing house orders (SHO) were provided, which identified one week and one month after admission; a resident's temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure and oxygen saturations would be checked monthly unless directed otherwise. The SHO lacked detail for respiratory assessments with oxygen use or shortness of breath.

Findings include:

Resident R48's quarterly minimum data set (MDS) dated [DATE REDACTED], identified she was rarely/never understood, was totally dependent on staff for bed mobility and transfers, and extensive assist was required for eating. Diagnoses included stroke, aphasia (loss of speech) and diabetes. Resident R48 had malnutrition and received tube feeding for nutrition.

Resident R48's tube feeding care area assessment (CAA) dated 3/22/24, triggered related to receiving tube feeding for all nutritional needs. Staff were directed to continue to administer tube feeding as ordered, monitor for complications and proceed to care plan.

Resident R48's care plan dated 3/29/24, identified EBP was placed related to tube feeding and chronic pressure wounds, and staff were directed to don/doff personal protective equipment (PPE) per EBP when high contact cares were provided.

Resident R48's active orders dated 6/14/24, identified to follow EBP while tube feedings were provided, when the feeding tube and associated equipment were handled, when insertion site care was provided, and other high contact care activities.

During an observation on 6/24/24 at 1:35 p.m., Resident R48's door had an EBP sign on door directing staff to wear gloves and a gown for high contact care including device care and feeding tube. There was PPE bin hanging

on the door containing gloves, goggles, and gowns.

During an observation on 6/25/24 at 12:44 p.m., licensed practical nurse (LPN)-A entered Resident R48's room, put on gloves but not a gown, pulled back Resident R48's bedsheet, undid the abdominal binder holding Resident R48's tube feeding line in place, entered the bathroom obtained water in a graduated cylinder, filled up a syringe from the cylinder and flushed the feeding tube with water.
