86 LAS VEGAS POST ACUTE & REHABILITATION 295006 2832 S. MARYLAND PARKWAY LAS VEGAS NV 89109 2018-05-11 677 D 0 1 QB3511 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide assist with trimming and cleaning the finger nails for 1 of 18 sampled residenst (Resident #22). Findings include: Resident #22 was admitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 05/08/18 at 10:29 AM, the resident was in bed and answered some questions appropriately. The resident's finger nails, on both hands, were about 1/2 inch long and had dark colored material lodged underneath the nails. The resident stated he was unable to bathe or groom himself and relied on staff to provide all of his care. The resident reported he could not see well. On 05/11/18 at 12:17 PM, the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) checked the resident's fingernails and reported they were overly long and and had debris underneath, and should have been kept trimmed and clean. The LPN did not know why the nails were not kept trimmed and clean on the resident. The LPN stated sometimes residents will refuse, but did not recall the resident refusing care. The LPN asked the resident if he would like to have the finger nails trimmed, and the resident replied yes. The LPN revealed toe nails were trimmed by a podiatrist who made monthly visits. The LPN wasn't sure if resident fingernails should be clipped by licensed nurses or by the nursing assistants, or by a podiatrist. The facility policy and procedure titled Shower/Tub Bath, revised 10/10, indicated staff should not trim finger nails unless otherwise instructed by your supervisor. 2020-09-01
