10006	MERCER NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER, LLC	515052	PO BOX 410	BLUEFIELD	WV	24701	2010-03-04	241	D	0	1	6XNG11	NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY . Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the dignity of two (2) residents were preserved and honored, by staff mocking the behavior of Resident #20, and staff labeling a [MEDICATION NAME] medication patch with the date after affixing it to the body of Resident #15. Resident identifiers: #20 and #15. Facility census: 53. Findings include: a) Resident #20 On 03/03/10 at approximately 2:00 p.m., while waiting for the resident group meeting to commence in the dining room on the facility second floor, observation found Employee #6 (a nurse aide) going down the hallway mocking Resident #20's verbal behaviors. Resident #20 had called out "help me, help me, somebody help me" over and over again for a period of time. This behavior occurred frequently with Resident #20. On 03/03/10 at approximately 4:00 p.m., the administrator became aware of the above incident. She reported she would talk to the employee about his behavior. On 03/04/10 at approximately 8:00 a.m., the administrator related she had spoken with the employee regarding his inappropriate actions. The employee told the administrator he experienced a rough day on 03/03/10 and the comments he made were regarding his own frustrations. The administrator agreed the employee needed to refrain from expressing vocal frustrations where other residents or family members can overhear them. b) Resident #15 Review of the medical record found Resident #15 received a [MEDICATION NAME] 0.4 mg each morning. During observations of the medication pass on 03/03/10 at 9:45 a.m., the nurse (Employee #18) applied the [MEDICATION NAME] on the resident's left upper chest. She then removed a marker from her uniform pocket and wrote on the patch while it was affixed to the resident. .	2015-07-01
