SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
with defining the edge of the bed.
Surveyor asked MDS J and DON B if R3's toileting program has ever been adjusted. DON B indicates, they added the mid-evening toileting intervention.
Surveyor asked MDS J and DON B if they mean a specific time for the mid-evening intervention or just a generalized block of time.
DON B indicates there is no specific time, just a general time.
Surveyor asked MDS J and DON B if the facility ever considered every 2-hour toileting program for R3. DON B indicates she feels like it is pretty much every 2-hour toileting program currently. (Of note: The current toileting program only as mid-evening and HS (bedtime) cares listed under the toileting section).
Surveyor asked MDS J and DON B if, in their opinion, a more frequent toileting program may have been effective at reducing R3's fall risk. MDS J indicates she believes that what the facility has in place is effective as evidenced by his reduction in the frequency of his falls with R3's last fall occurring a little over a month ago.
Surveyor noted that observations were made of R3 not having a urinal at his bedside, when his care plan indicates he should have one at his bedside. MDS J indicates if it is on his care plan he should have it.
However, she does note that R3 is frequently organizing and moving the stuff in his room.
Surveyor noted that observations were made of R3 not having a reacher at his bedside, when his care plan indicates he should have one at his bedside. MDS J indicates yes, but reiterates it might be in a box as one of his behaviors is packing his belongings. On 12/2/25 at 12:15 PM, Surveyor interview NP K (Nurse Practitioner).
Surveyor asked NP K if she was familiar with R3. NP K indicates, yes.
Surveyor asked NP K if she recalled the first time she noted bruising on R3's face. NP K indicates she first saw R3 on 11/5/25 as she took over for a different provider.
When NP K conducted her initial assessment, she also conducted record review and spoke with facility staff who provided R3's admission picture and statements that facial bruising was present on R3's admission. NP K made the statement that the x-ray taken by the hospital stated the jaw fracture was not acute.
Surveyor read the radiology report to NP K, which indicates the jaw fracture was acute at the time of the exam. NP K reviewed R3's file and indicated she did not have that particular exam result in the file.
Surveyor asked NP K what her clinical impression was regarding whether R3's jaw fracture was acute or sub-acute. NP K indicates she believes the jaw fracture occurred prior to R3's admission as evidenced by the dark purple bruising in R3's admission photo, the lack of an x-ray of his facial bones during his hospital stay prior to admission, staff reports, and record review.
Surveyor asked NP K what was her designated specialty. NP K indicates she is an Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.
Surveyor asked NP K how long she would estimate a fracture like this would take to heal. NP K indicates around 8 to 12 weeks.
She indicates in someone young with no comorbidities it may take as little as 6 weeks, however, since R3 is older and has multiple comorbidities, she would expect an 8 to 12-week healing time.
Surveyor asked NP K, so then it would be expected to still see the fracture on the CT scan on 9/14/25 if the fracture occurred prior to admission. NP K indicates, yes. (Of note: The CT scan on 9/14/25, indicates the fracture as being acute, R3 did not have a diagnosis of a fractured jaw upon admission, and the fracture was unchanged on 10/11/25)
