F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 19102 potential for actual harm Based on a review of the Resident Assessment Instrument User's Manual and clinical records, as well as Residents Affected - Few staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to complete accurate Minimum Data Set assessments for three of 26 residents reviewed (Residents 14, 24, 32).

Findings include:

The Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which provides guidance and instructions for the completion of MDS assessments, dated October 2024, indicated that the intent of Section N was to record the number of days, during the seven-day assessment period, that any type of injection, insulin, and/or select medications were received by the resident. Section N0415A was to be coded if the resident received an antipsychotic medication during the seven-day assessment period, and Section N0451K was to be coded if the resident received an anticonvulsant medication during the seven-day assessment period.

Physician's orders for Resident 14, dated January 16, 2021, included an order for the resident to receive 100 milligrams (mg) of gabapentin (anticonvulsant medication) twice a day for rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness) and 300 mg of gabapentin at bedtime for rheumatoid arthritis. Medication Administration Records (MARs) for Resident 14, dated January and February 2025, revealed that staff administered 100 mg of gabapentin twice a day and 300 mg at bedtime from January 16 through February 19, 2025. However, Section N0415K1 of Resident 14's quarterly MDS assessment, dated February 3, 2025, was coded to indicate that the resident did not receive an anticonvulsant medication during the seven-day assessment.

Physician's orders for Resident 24, dated January 10, 2025, included an order for the resident to receive 25 milligrams (mg) Seroquel (antipsychotic medication) every day. A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 24, dated January 15, 2025, revealed that Section N0415A was coded indicating that the resident had not received an antipsychotic medication.

Physician's orders for Resident 32, dated December 30, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 100 mg of gabapentin three times a day for polyneuropathy (weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet). MARs for Resident 32, dated December 2024 and January 2025, revealed that staff administered 100 mg of gabapentin three times a day from December 31 through January 3, 2025. However, Section N0415K1 of Resident 32's quarterly MDS assessment, dated January 3, 2025, was coded to indicate that the resident did not receive an anticonvulsant medication during the seven-day assessment.

Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on January 30, 2025, at 11:35 a.m. confirmed that MDS assessments for Residents 14, 24, and 32 were coded inaccurately.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 19102 potential for actual harm Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility Residents Affected - Few failed to monitor a resident's weight as recommended by the dietician for one of 23 residents reviewed (Resident 14). This deficiency was cited as past non-compliance.

Findings include:

The facility's policy regarding weights, dated April 8, 2024, revealed that if a weight is obtained and a five-pound weight loss or gain has occurred for individuals weighing greater than 100 pounds or a three-pound weight loss or gain occurred for individuals weighing less than 100 pounds, then a re-weight should be obtained within 24 hours of the first obtained weight. Staff were to ensure the individual was weighed on the same scale as previously used, and when the re-weight was obtained the weight should be documented in the medical record, stating that it was a re-weight and the previous weight should be struck out. All residents with a significant weight change would be assessed and referred to the dietitian for assessment.

A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 14, dated February 3, 2025, indicated that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired and had a weight loss.

A weight record, dated December 13, 2024, revealed that Resident 14 weighed 127.4 pounds. A weight

record dated January 1, 2025, revealed the resident's weight was 117.8 pounds.

A dietitian note for Resident 14, dated January 9, 2025, revealed that the resident's weight was 117.8 pounds, the weight was more than a five pound difference from the previous weight, a re-weight had been requested and was pending, and she would re-assess the weight status when a re-weight was obtained. However, there was no documented evidence that a re-weight had been obtained after the January 9, 2025, dietitian note.

On January 16, 2025, the resident's weight was 136.2 pounds (gain of 18.4 pounds); however, there was no documented evidence that a re-weight had been obtained until January 21, 2025, when the resident's weight was 116.4 pounds.

An interview with the Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator on February 19, 2025, at 11:54 a. m. confirmed that Resident 14 was not re-weighed according to the dietitian's recommendations or facility policy.

Following the identification on October 18, 2024, that they were not obtaining re-weights, the facility's corrective actions included:

A weight team was developed to improve weight obtainment by nursing staff, which included nursing staff and other staff members.

Audits were started on all residents to ensure that re-weights recommended by the dietitian were obtained.
