This practice has the potential to affect all residents who receive nourishment from the dietary department. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) At 2:30 p.m. on 01/05/09, observations, during the initial tour of the dietary department, revealed two (2) trays of cups and five (5) trays of cereal bowls; the cups and bowls were inverted on a synthetic shelving mat on flat trays prior to air drying. The cups and bowls were observed with trapped moisture, creating a medium for bacterial growth. The assistant dietary manager (Employee #45) was present and confirmed the identified problem. b) Observation with the dietary manager (Employee #42), on the afternoon on 01/07/09, again revealed inverted cups on a flat tray with a shelving mat which prevented the cups from proper air drying. The tray was observed under the area where the residents' food trays were served in the dining room. . 2014-02-01

Subsequently, the facility had no data by which analyze infection control data for trends and clusters. Organisms were not identified on the infection incidence log, nor were they tracked for infection control purposes. There was no evidence that clusters were identified. This was evident for four (4) of twenty (20) sampled residents. Resident identifiers: #11, #65, #75, and #35. Also, Resident #97 reported improper perineal care that could potentially cause a UTI from fecal contamination. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Residents #11 and #85 Resident #11 experienced repeated UTIs colonized with Escherichia coli (E. coli), bacteria found in feces. Record review revealed positive urine cultures for E. coli on the following dates: 05/18/08, 06/21/08, 08/28/08, 10/20/08, 12/07/08. Other organisms cultured included Alpha Streptococcus and [MEDICATION NAME] species on 07/25/08. Resident #11's roommate, Resident #85, also experienced UTIs as evidenced by positive urine cultures of E. coli with colony counts greater than 100,000 for the following dates: 09/23/08 and 11/03/08. Resident #85 also had a UTI identified in the emergency roiagnom on [DATE] (which was treated with Cipro), but the facility was unable to produce that culture report. Review of the facility's most recent quarter's infection incidence rate report (October, November, and December 2008) found Resident #11's E. Coli infections were not recorded for either October or December. With permission, perineal care was observed for Resident #85 on 01/07/09 at 1:45 p.m., after an episode of urinary incontinence. The nursing assistant used a [MEDICATION NAME] Care body wash / shampoo product for cleansing.… 2014-02-01

Staff applied socks to Resident #10's hands, which restricted movement, without a physicians' order. Documentation in the medical records of Residents #36, #5, #28, and #85 inconsistently addressed the purpose of lap buddies applied to prevent rising and subsequent falls; throughout their charts, staff referred to these devices as "enablers" instead of physical restraints. Resident #36 consistently resisted the use of her lap buddy, injuring herself when her device was being applied; a plan to address this, as well as a plan for the systematic / gradual reduction of the use of this device, was not initiated. Devices were not adequately addressed for five (5) of twenty (20) sampled residents. Resident identifiers: #10, #36, #35, #28, and #85. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #10 During an observation on 01/05/09 at 2:30 p.m., Resident #10 was laying in the bed with a sock applied to her right hand.

Resident identifier: #108. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Resident #108 Record review, on 01/07/09, revealed Resident #108 was admitted to the facility in 2008. The Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Determination, dated eleven (11) days prior to the current admission, stated that a Level II evaluation was required for this individual. However, the Level II evaluation itself was not completed prior to this admission to this facility. These findings were reported to Employee #8 on the morning of 01/08/09. She, in turn, referred the matter to the admissions / social worker to see if more information was on record in the social worker's office. On 01/08/09 at approximately 11:55 a.m., Employee #8 produced a Level II assessment signed by a supervised psychologist that was dated six (6) days after Resident #108's current admission.

The facility had a high number of residents with urinary tract infections (UTIs). The QAA committee failed to identify deficits in the infection control program (with respect to tracking infectious organisms, identifying trends through analysis of the facility's infection control data, and investigating the UTIs to identify any underlying causal or contributing factors) and failed develop / implement measures to address these deficits. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Record review, during the facility's annual certification resurvey conducted from 01/05/09 through 01/08/09, revealed multiple residents with UTIs, several of whom had the same infectious organism and resided in the same location (same room and/or hall within the facility). On the afternoon of 01/06/09, the director of nursing (DON - Employee #2) was identified as the individual designated as responsible for infection control tracking. At this time, a copy of the November and December 2008 infection control tracking logs was requested and received. A review of the infection control tracking logs revealed the DON / infection control nurse failed to log the organisms identified through cultures as being responsible for each infection. In an interview with the DON and administrator (Employee #1) on 01/07/09 at 4:30 p.m., the DON acknowledged that she did not record infectious organisms on the tracking logs.

The nursing assessment with the date of 12/16/13 found the resident had been missing teeth. Observation of Resident #16's oral cavity on 07/13/16 at 10:22 a.m. with the assistant director of nursing (ADON) #48, found the resident had broken and missing teeth. The ADON confirmed the MDS was inaccurate due to the resident having these broken and missing teeth for some time. On 07/13/16 at 12:00 p.m., Registered Nurse/Minimum Data Set Coordinator (RN-MDSC) confirmed the resident nursing assessment form dated 12/16/13 finds the resident has some missing teeth. The RN-MDSSC stated, The monthly summary dated 04/19/16 does not identify missing or broken teeth. She stated, I went to do an oral examine, but I could not get the resident to open up his mouth, so I could not really identify whether there was missing or broken teeth. The resident was seen by the dentist on 04/12/16. The note revealed the resident had broken teeth.

Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure consistent assessment, monitoring, and evaluation of a resident receiving intravenous fluids. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure timely medical intervention when a resident experienced deterioration in health status. The facility ' s failure to provide the necessary care and services for this resident resulted in harm. This practice affected one (1) of 45 Stage II sample residents. Resident identifier: #33. Facility census: 52. Findings include: a) Resident #33 Medical record review revealed Resident #33 began receiving intravenous (IV) fluids with 20 MeQ (milliquivalents) of potassium at 75 cc per hour shortly after midnight on 04/20/12. Factors which placed her at higher risk for potential adverse reactions from receiving IV fluid therapy included a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Despite the increased risk of adverse reactions, record review revealed that nursing staff were not consistently assessing lung sounds or early signs of fluid overload. Review of a hospice note, written by a registered nurse from hospice, found notation that the resident's lung sounds were clear when assessed on 04/20/12. Further medical record review found no evidence of lung sound assessments by facility staff on any of the three (3) shifts on 04/20/12, 04/21/12, or 04/22/12. The 04/23/12 nurse's notes for 3:00 a.m. noted the resident's respiratory rate had been 32 breaths per minute at 10:00 p.m., and lung sounds were diminished bilaterally in the lower lobes. Later, at 8:45 a.m. on 04/23/12, the hospice aide notified the nurse that the resident was coughing. The nurse assessed the resident ' s moist lung sounds and noted rhonchi present bilaterally. The nurse ' s note indicated the hospice nurse was called to come in and evaluate the resident. Upon her arrival to the facility at 10:30 a.m., the hospice nurse assessed the resident with slight expiratory wheezing. Neither the physician n… 2016-07-01

Additionally, there was no evidence of ongoing assessment and/or implementation of individualized interventions in an effort to discontinue the catheter and/or to provide services to restore normal bladder function for these residents. There was no evidence the facility assessed the residents for causal factors for the incontinence, as urinary incontinence is a symptom of a condition which may be reversible. Additionally, there was no evidence the facility managed the Foley catheters in a manner which reduced complications, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are a known complication related to catheter usage. Resident identifiers: #32 and #70. Facility census: 52 Findings include: a) Resident #32 Medical record review revealed a bladder assessment dated [DATE]. At that time restorative retraining was not recommended due to urge incontinence. There was no evidence that possible causal factors for the urge incontinence had been explored. According to the medical record, the resident had a Foley catheter inserted on 12/31/10, at the request of Hospice, for [MEDICAL CONDITION]. There was no evidence of [MEDICAL CONDITION] at the time of insertion of the catheter, and there was no evidence of a urology consultation before or since the Foley catheter was inserted.

Water temperatures were measured by the maintenance director, using the facility's thermometer, to be as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) at the hand sinks in various residents' rooms and a shower room sink. This had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents due to the potential for scalding/burn injuries, especially for independently mobile residents with cognitive impairment and/or decreased sensitivity to pain and extreme temperatures. Facility census: 52. Findings include: a) On 07/23/12 at 10:40 a.m., a surveyor informed the maintenance supervisor the hot water in resident sinks felt too hot to touch and requested the hot water temperatures be checked using a facility thermometer. A check of the hand sinks, on 07/23/12 between 10:50 a.m. and 11:10 a.m., located in the following resident rooms, found the excessively hot water temperatures registered as follows: Room #100 - 120 degrees F Room #105 - 120 degrees F Room #202 - 120 degrees F Room #211 - 120 degrees F Room #302 - 120 degrees F Room #313 - 120 degrees F Shower room on 200 Hall - 120 degrees F The maintenance supervisor stated he had been told by his predecessor the water temperatures were to be maintained between 115 and 120 degrees (F). He further stated he visually checked the water temperatures each day but had no written evidence of the temperatures. Information in the Guidance to Surveyors for this requirement, found in Appendix PP of the CMS State Operations Manual, revealed the following: Water Temp - Time Required for a 3rd Degree Burn to Occur 155 degrees F - 1 sec 148 degrees F - 2 sec 133 degrees F - 15 sec 127 degrees F - 1 min 124 deg… 2016-07-01

The facility failed to recognize, evaluate, and address the individual nutritional needs of this resident to ensure she maintained an acceptable nutritional status. Resident identifier: #10. Facility census: 49 Findings include: a) Resident #10 An interview was conducted with the resident on 10/03/12 at 9:00 a.m. When asked about her meals, the resident stated she did not like the food. She stated the food did not taste good to her. When she was asked about an alternate meal, she stated there were no alternates. Medical record review, on 10/04/12, revealed Resident #10 had a severe unplanned weight loss of 6.3% in a thirty-seven (37) day period which was not addressed by the facility. On 08/01/12, the recorded weight was 175 pounds. On 09/07/12, the weight recorded was 164 pounds. This was an eleven (11) pound weight loss. The dietitian noted the weight loss on 09/11/12, and ordered weekly weights for four (4) weeks. The dietitian's notes described the resident as obese and above her ideal body weight recommendation, which was 102 to 112 pounds. The nursing assistants' meal tracking showed the resident frequently refused breakfast, and the overall meal consumption was frequently less than fifty (50) percent. Review of the medical record revealed the resident's care plan was not updated to address the weight loss or poor meal consumption. The care plan did not include any interventions to encourage the resident to eat. There were no interventions to offer alternatives when she refused to eat, or ate less than a certain percentage of her meals. An interview was conducted on 10/04/12, with the director of nursing (DON), regarding the weekly weights. The DON was unable to locate the weekly weights. The DON contacted the certified manager (CDM), who was also unable to produce weekly weights for the resident. There … 2016-07-01

The resident's care plan did not contain interventions to ensure the resident was provided and accepted sufficient fluids daily. Additionally, there was no ongoing monitoring of the resident's fluid intake to determine if her intake was adequate and/or if there was a need for interventions to ensure adequate fluid intake. The resident was hospitalized with dehydration. Resident identifier: #33. Facility census: 52. Findings include: a) Resident #33 Record review revealed this [AGE] year old resident had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Record review also revealed this resident was dependent on staff for feeding and fluid intake. Review of the most recent care plan, dated 01/25/12, found an intervention to offer fluids frequently while awake. This intervention did not provide a distinct action plan for offering fluids, or improving fluid intake. Review of the former care plan, dated 10/26/11, found another generic intervention to Encourage adequate fluid intake q. (every) shift. Review of the consultant registered dietitian (RD) notes, dated 02/16/12, revealed a description that the most recent lab results indicate pos (possible)/slight dehydration. The RD recommended staff to encourage fluid intake and monitor for changes. Record review revealed the most recent BMP (basic metabolic profile) the dietitian referred to was completed on 01/28/12. The BUN (blood urea nitrogen) was elevated at 32, with the normal reference range between 8 and 27. The BUN/creatinine ratio was elevated at 42, with the normal reference range between 11-26. These values can be indicative of dehydration. Record review found no further dietitian notes prior to discharge from the facility on 04/23/12.

A hand-held nebulizer [MEDICATION NAME] treatment was not effectively administered. Resident identifier: #29. Facility census: 52. Findings include: a) Resident #29 Observation on 07/16/12, from 2:00 p.m. through 2:34 p.m., found Resident #29 lying in bed on his back with his head lying on the pillow leaning slightly toward the right. A medicated aerosol nebulizer treatment was being administered via a mouthpiece that was lying on a towel placed across his chest. Supplemental oxygen was being administered by a nasal cannula. During this observation, the mouthpiece was noted beneath the resident's right arm, while the nebulizer machine was still running. No staff were in attendance. A licensed nurse, Employee #45, entered the resident's room at 2:34 p.m. to perform a decubitus ulcer treatment. When asked if the resident was supposed to be getting a nebulizer treatment, she stated, He's supposed to, but obviously not, as she removed the mouthpiece from beneath his right arm. The medicine cup still had some of the medication present when the nurse lifted the mouthpiece and tubing back to the nebulizer machine. Employee #45 said the nebulizer treatment was prn (as needed), rather than scheduled. When asked if the resident had been wheezing or short of breath, Employee #45 said she would have to ask his nurse, Employee #14. The resident's medical record was reviewed, on 07/17/12. The resident had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. The space provided on the back of the MAR for the result, or progress of the treatment was left blank.

The facility failed to ensure there were adequate indications for the use, reasons for not implementing a gradual dose reduction of a psychoactive medication, and failed to ensure residents were not provided excessive doses of medications. Resident identifiers: #67, #32, and #10. Facility census: 52. Findings Include: a) Resident #67 This resident was admitted to the facility from the hospital on [DATE], with an order for [REDACTED]. Review of the consultant pharmacist report, dated 06/08/12, revealed the suggestion, Please consider reducing the dose of [MEDICATION NAME] to 0.5 mg hs (hour of sleep), with the eventual goal of discontinuation, if possible. There was no evidence the facility made an effort to determine why the resident was ordered this medication, and no evidence the facility reevaluated the use of the [MEDICATION NAME], in an effort to reduce or discontinue the medication. b) Resident #32: Medical record review revealed this resident's orders for Tylenol and [MEDICATION NAME] had no dosing parameters in place. This created a potential for the resident to receive 4550 mg of [MEDICATION NAME] in a 24 hour period, which exceeds the maximum recommended safe amount over a 24 hour period. The resident had physician's orders [REDACTED]. This would be 3900 mg, if the resident received the allowed six (6) doses of 650 mg of [MEDICATION NAME].
