10435 HARALSON NSG & REHAB CENTER 115431 315 FIELD STREET BREMEN GA 30110 2009-08-26 241 D 1 1 FH9411 Based on record review and staff interview the facility failed to promote care in an environment that enhances dignity and respect for one (1) resident "O" from twenty-four (24) sampled residents. Findings include: During an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) "DD" on 8/26/09 at 10:45 a.m., he stated that he and resident "O" had a fair relationship during the time he had cared for the resident. He stated that he would do things that irritated the resident and the resident did things to irritate him. When asked what the resident did to irritate him, he stated that the resident would put the call light on for things that he could do for himself. An example would be when the resident called to ask him to get his remote control or nasal oxygen for him and they would be within the resident's reach. He said he would tell the resident where they were and ask him why didn't he get them for himself? He further stated that four or five months prior to the his death, the resident put his call light on and asked LPN "DD" to get his shoes for him. LPN "DD" said the resident asked for the house shoes that were in the seat of the wheelchair within the resident's reach. When he asked the resident why he asked him to get them when they were within the resident's reach, the resident replied that he just wanted the nurse to hand them to him. This LPN stated that he told the resident that we were not butlers or maids. The resident told him that he paid his salary and told him to leave his room. He stated that he called the resident's daughter and told her what he had said to the resident but he did not remember if he told any other staff. After he said this to the resident, LPN "DD" said that he should not have said that to the resident, he thought it was probably inappropriate. In an interview with the Risk Manager on 8/26/09 at 2:45 p.m., she stated that LPN "DD" had not told her what he had said to the resident in the past. In an interview with the Administrator on 8/26/09 at 4:30 p.m., she stated that she also was not aware of what the LPN had told the resident. 2014-07-01
