Based on observation, record review and interview; the facility failed to post the Nurse Staffing information in a prominent place, ensure information was easily readable, and included the total number hours worked by the licensed and unlicensed nursing staff directly responsible for resident care per shift. The facility census was 39 and the survey sample size was 39. Findings are: Observation during the initial tour of the facility on 10/3/12 at 8:46 AM revealed an inability to find where the daily Nurse Staffing was posted. After the receipt of directions from the charge nurse, the Nurse Staffing was located in the front lobby, next to the receptionist office, on the lower shelf of a magazine rack. Observation revealed the printed information was small and the total number of hours for licensed and unlicensed staff was not documented. On 10/10/12 at 11:39 AM, an interview with Dietary Assistant (DA) -A revealed the DA worked part time in the dietary department. DA-A revealed (gender) didn't know where the Nurse Staffing information was posted. In an attempt to find it, DA-A entered the chart room and looked on the walls, then stated if the Director of Nursing (DON) was asked, the DON probably would know where it was. During an Interview on 10/10/12 at 11:43 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) -G revealed the Nurse Staffing information was located in the magazine rack in the lobby. LPN-G stated it was low enough for residents to see, even seated in a wheelchair. LPN-G stated visitors probably wouldn't see the Nurse Staffing information unless they were looking for it. LPN-G revealed staff tried to write the information large enough to be read easily, but said we have some nurses that write pretty small. During an interview with Resident 36 and Resident 16's child on 10/10/12 at 2:54 PM, Resident 36 revealed (gender) didn't know the facility had any thing like a nurse staffing posting. Resident 16's child revealed (gender) thought that was probably on the big screen television in the living that displayed pictures of the facility staff. After explanation that the nurse staffing information was posted in the magazine rack, both Resident 36 and Resident 16's child stated they would never have thought to look there for the posting. Resident 36 revealed the information was written pretty small and didn't believe most of the residents would be able to read it. Resident 16's child agreed the writing was too small to be read easily, then added the information on the form was confusing. An interview with Registered Nurse-QA 10/11/12 at 10:05 AM, revealed the Nurse Staffing Posting information had been in a plastic holder door frame near the entrance of the dining room, but the plastic holder broke, so we decided to put it in the magazine rack. |
