Findings include: Record review for Resident #46 revealed a Nurse's Notes entry of 9/18/11 at 6:30 a.m. which documented that while in the hallway, the resident had removed the lap buddy from the wheelchair, attempted to ambulate and then fell , striking her head on the wall. This Note documented that the resident had a small knot on the back of her head, and that neurological checks were implemented per protocol. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) conducted on 11/09/11 at 2:28 p.m., the DON presented a copy of the Incident Report referencing this resident's 9/18/11 fall which documented that the physician's office was provided notification of the incident, by facsimile, later in the day on 9/18/11. However, review of the Nursing Home Communications sheet which was sent back to the facility from the physician, via facsimile, in response to this incident revealed that it was it was not signed by the physician until 9/19/11, and was not received by the facility until 12:48 p.m. on 9/19/11. Further review of the medical record revealed no evidence to indicate that facility staff had made any additional attempts to contact the physician for consultation about the resident's fall between the 9/18/11 facsimile to the physician's office and the 9/19/11, 12:48 p.m. facsimile back to the facility from the physician. This resulted in an approximate thirty-one (31) hour delay in physician consultation related to this incident involving the resident falling, striking her head, and sustaining an injury to the head. During an 11/10/11, 9:30 a.m. interview with the DON, the DON stated that facility procedure was to facsimile the physician a notification of a resident accident, but only if there was no injury, and then to await the response back from the physician.

The facility's failure to developed a care plan for resident # 71 related to [MEDICAL CONDITION] medications and was related to physical transfer for resident A. 1. Review of the physician orders [REDACTED]. The use of the antipsychotic medications was assessed on the current annual Minimal Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] as having been used during the assessment period. Review of the Nursing Home Resident Assessment and Care Screening documentation dated 9/01/11 documented the resident was at risk for adverse effects related to the use of [MEDICAL CONDITION] medication and that a care plan would be developed for that care area, however there was no care plan to address the use of psychoactive medications.

The Nurse Aide information sheet reveals the resident requires extensive to total care with transfers. An interview with the MDS Coordinator on 11/8/11 at 4:30 p.m. reveals that based upon the MDS assessments she agrees the care plan was not developed for the resident's transfer needs. | 2016-06-01 |

Findings include: Cross refer to F318 for more information regarding Resident B. Record review for Resident B revealed a Minimum Data Set assessment of 3/08/11 in which Section G, Functional Status, Functional Limitation in Range of Motion, indicated the resident had impairment on one side in both the upper and lower extremity, shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand. During an 11/08/11, 4:40 p.m. observation, Resident B was observed to have significant contracture of the fingers on his left hand. No splint was observed to be applied to the resident's left hand at the time of this observation.

Review of the resident's current Care Plan revealed an entry of 5/14/11 which identified a problem of the potential for further loss of range of motion related to contractures to resident's left side, including the wrist and fingers, with approaches having been developed to address this problem. However, there was no evidence to indicate that the Care Plan of Resident B had been updated to reflect the OT and PT plans specifying the application of the splint to the resident's left hand, per the Restorative Nursing Program.

A check of the resident's closet, at that time, revealed there were shoes in the resident's closet but further examination reveals they belong to another resident. Additional interview with CNA HH revealed he had not notified the Charge Nurse or the Social Worker (SW) that the resident did not have shoes. An interview with the SW on 11/09/11 at 10:05 a.m. revealed she was not aware the resident had no shoes and that the facility did have shoes available for resident's use. | 2016-06-01 |

Findings include: Resident #52 was admitted to the nursing facility on 5/26/11 and discharged on [DATE]. Nursing staff developed a 6/1/2011 plan of care to address the problem of his/her risk of developing new pressure sores. There was an intervention for nursing staff to do weekly skin assessments. According to licensed nursing staff's documentation on 6/23/11 at 4:00 a.m., the resident had an approximately 1 (centimeter) cm. by 1 cm. open area on his/her sacrum.

However, the CNA, who documented the resident's skin condition on the (CNA) STNA Skin Report form on 7/19/2011, did not include the area identified the previous day. The resident was hosptalized on [DATE] and was re-admitted on [DATE] without staff noting any skin breakdown. Nursing staff did not not note any skin breakdown until 9/9/11. At that time, nursing staff described a 1.6 cm, stage 2 pressure sore on the resident's left sacrum. However, there was not any evidence that weekly skin assessments had been done July, August or through October 12, 2011. During an interview on 11/08/11 at 5:15 p.m., the treatment nurse acknowledged that she could not locate the resident's weekly skin assessments for July 2011, August 2011 and October 2011. | 2016-01-01 |

Findings include: Resident A had a physician's orders [REDACTED]. There was also a 10/6/11 order to change to [MEDICATION NAME] continuously at a rate of 42 cubic centimeters (cc) per hour through his/her gastrostomy tube. The resident was observed eating lunch on 11/9/11 at 12:15 p.m. He/She was served lunch while his/her tube feeding formula was still infusing. The resident stated that he/she was not hungry and only ate bites of his/her lunch. During an interview on 11/7/11 at 11:00 a.m., the resident's family member stated that the resident was served a tray at every meal but, he/she was usually too full from the tube feeding to eat the meal. The family member said he/she had not seen staff turn off the tube feeding to allow the resident to eat. In the October 19, 2011 registered dietician's notes, it was noted that resident A often refused oral intake of meals or snacks and without additional oral intake his/her weight loss would continue so, she recommended that the flow rate for the tube feeding formula be increased to 50 cc/hr to meet at least meet two-thirds of the resident's nutritional needs. However, there was no evidence that facility staff developed a plan to promote the resident's oral intake of the ordered diet. During an interview on 11/11/11 at 11:00 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated that the resident had been receiving continuous tube feedings since June 2011. However, the DON could not provide any evidence that the facility had attempted to assist the resident to resume his/her normal eating skills. | 2016-01-01 |
