A review of the facility's policy for standing orders, provided by the DON (director of nursing) states, Follow sliding scale as ordered for blood sugars and was signed by the physician. A review of the Physician Notification Parameters, provided by the DON read -below 50 mg give [MEDICATION NAME] per protocol; above 250 follow sliding scale order, if MD ordered. An interview with the DON on 6/12/13 at 2:00 PM revealed that the nurses are expected to follow the parameters ordered by the physician when administering sliding scale insulin. If a resident is getting scheduled insulin there are no parameters, unless ordered by the physician. The nurses would track the blood sugar levels and call the physician if there was a problem/pattern or if the resident had a very high blood sugar then they would notify the physician.",2016-06-01 8196,HEARTLAND OF COLUMBIA REHAB AND NURSING CENTER,425008,2601 FOREST DRIVE,COLUMBIA,SC,29204,2013-02-21,329,D,0,1,CSJ811,"**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** On the days of the Complaint and Recertification Survey, based on limited record review and interviews, the facility nursing staff failed to appropriately document behaviors for Resident #13 (1 of 16 sampled residents reviewed with psychoactive medications) relative to the administration of one time doses of Intramuscular (IM) [MEDICATION NAME] and [MEDICATION NAME] along with PRN (As Needed) doses of [MEDICATION NAME].

Interventions included a calm and gentle approach; informing the resident of the next event prior to beginning care; reapproaching at a later time; updating the physician; and informing the resident of smoking times. As a result of the findings on 5/20/12 that 2 of 2 residents with tracheostomies had no back-up [MEDICAL CONDITION] cannulas available in the facility, the facility obtained [MEDICAL CONDITION] kits from the hospital that contained a range of cannula sizes. One kit was placed at each resident's bedside for emergency use. Since the size of resident #13's [MEDICAL CONDITION] was unknown, directions were given by the medical director to use a smaller size that would fit the stoma and send her immediately to the emergency room in the event of decannulation. During an interview with the DON and MDS Consultant, they stated that nursing staff had been through a skills check-off for care of residents with tracheostomies. The staff check-offs could not be located.

The surveyor asked where the second wound was located as it had not been visible during the previously observed wound care and she was not aware of a second wound. The nurse stated it was on the resident's right ischial area and that she had removed the dressing earlier because it was soiled with urine. While the nurse washed her hands, the resident rolled partially to her back placing the exposed wound against the brief. The LPN returned, gloved and assisted the resident back onto her right side exposing the second wound. LPN #1 cut and placed Calcium Alginate into the second wound bed, covered with gauze and tape without cleansing the wound. The nurse removed her gloves, regloved and replaced the resident's brief with a new brief retrieved from the closet and repositioned the resident without washing her hands. LPN #1 then removed her gloves, cleaned the scissors with alcohol pads and placed them back into her pocket. She gathered used items and the biohazard bag. She took the biohazard bag to the housekeeping closet, placed it in a biohazard box and entered the soiled linen area, touching door knobs, and placed the used linens in a hamper. She returned to the nurse's station to wash her hands and sign the Treatment Record. On 4/18/12 at 9:20 AM, during an interview with LPN #1, she did not dispute the surveyors observations related to hand washing, gloving or touching items and the resident while gloved and using the same gloves during the treatment. The LPN did not disagree with the observation of patting the wound bed of the first wound with the same area of the gauze. When the LPN was informed that the surveyor had not observed her cleansing the second wound, the LPN stated that she had cleansed it when she cleansed the first wound. On 4/18/12 at 9:45 AM, during an interview with the Staff Development Coordinator (SDC), who was also present during the wound care for Resident #1, the surveyors observations were reviewed. The SDC agreed with the surveyor observations and stated that the nurse did not cleanse the ischial wound prior to placing the Calcium Alginate, gauge and tape. She also stated that the nurse patted the first wound instead of using a circular motion cleansing from the inside to the outside.

Review of the care plans and Social Services Progress Notes revealed that the family had been involved with each interdisciplinary care plan meeting (5-22-12, 7-3-12, 8-13-12). The care plan included problems related to dementia/behaviors, fragile skin/ tears, and falls with measurable goals and viable approaches. The Care Plan was updated with falls and interventions to prevent falls and/or minimize injury while keeping the resident as mobile as possible. Further review of the interventions for falls revealed that, although the 6-27-12 physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of Hospice information revealed that the initial referral/coverage date was 12-13-11, prior to nursing home admission. The primary coverage [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent care plan included provision of aide services four times per week and nursing services twice weekly. Renew of the biweekly care plans revealed that Hospice had been kept updated on the resident's condition. On 9-19-12, her/his regular Hospice caregiver saw the resident. S/he noted on the Hospice report that the resident was up in the chair, and that s/he assisted with range of motion exercises, took vital signs, provided homemaking activities, assisted with a meal, encouraged fluids, and provided personal care including skin care, shower, shampoo, oral hygiene, linen change, brushed hair, and assisted with dressing. In the visit notes, the Hospice Aide did not identify any concerns with Resident #20 until s/he became combative when I shampooed her/his hair. According to her/his written statement, the Hospice CNA did not notice anything until s/he began to towel dry the resident's hair. Then, I noted a small amount of blood on a piece of hair lying on her/his forehead. I then noticed a bruise on the right portion of her/his forehead, about 1 inch from her/his hairline. At this time, s/he notified the nurse of the resident's condition. There was no mention of bruising prior to entry into the shower, though the report indicated a number of activities had been done with the resident prior to going to the shower. Review of Nurse's Notes, in addition to the above, revealed that the resident was admitted with multiple bruises and a history of wandering. On 5-14-12, after the resident had sustained falls on 5-8-12 and 5-9-12, the resident's sons were noted taking pictures of the resident. On 5-28-12, it was noted that the resident needed monitoring for wandering. Will go in other residents' rooms at times. On 5-29-12 at midnight, s/he was restless with lots of anxieties. Multiple entries were made related to continued pacing and being up all night. Interventions included engaging the resident on a 1: 1 basis and keeping her/him near the nursing station. On 6-26-12, it was noted that the resident follows very few verbal requests. On 6-27-12, an entry noted that a meeting was held with the family to discuss falls, pacing, and interventions. Restraints were also discussed. On 7-3-12, a Care Plan meeting with the family resulted in the resident being moved into a room closer to the nursing station. On 8-10-12, an entry noted that the resident was agitated and slaps staff when try to redirect resident. Again on 8-15-12 and 9-11-12, the resident was combative when attempts were made to redirect her/him. On 9-18-12, the 11-7 shift nurse documented vital signs within normal limits. Resident asleep.

Responsible Party made aware . At 8:15 am, the resident was transported continues to be alert & responsive. At 12:45 PM, the Administrator was questioned as to how CNAs were made aware of special needs related to resident care. S/he stated that the facility did not use a kardex type system but that an information sheet was placed on the inside of the closet door. The posting included such things, as transfer assistance needed, ambulation, feeding, bowel & bladder status, and special instructions such as alarms, helmet, etc. In reference to Hospice, s/he stated that the Staff Development Coordinator went over policies and procedures when the staff was first assigned to the resident. During an interview at 11: 50 AM on 5-3-13, Registered Nurse #1, who assessed the resident prior to transport, read and verified her/his written statement which had been part of the facility's investigation. The nurse described the knot on the resident's forehead that s/he had observed as golf ball size. When asked if s/he could tell if the injuries had just happened, the nurse stated, It did not look days old. It was very obvious. S/he stated that if the resident had not had the helmet on, it should have been visible to anyone in the hall. Review of the nurse's written statement revealed that s/he found the resident's helmet in her/his room on the overbed table with no signs of blood on it. During an interview at 1 PM on 5-3-13, CNA #1 stated that at approximately 6:55 AM on 9-19-12, s/he made rounds with the 11-7 CNA. S/he stated they did not disturb the resident because s/he was a fighter. S/he just stepped inside the room and saw the resident sleeping with her (his) helmet on. As s/he was not yet ready to work with the resident, s/he continued with other duties. Between 7 & 7:30 AM, the CNA noticed the resident's call light come on. When s/he answered the light, the Hospice Aide was getting clothes together by the closet. The CNA stated s/he was at the door and the resident was sitting up in bed with her (his) helmet in her (his) hand. The CNA went to get linen for the Hospice Aide and returned to the room. At this point, CNA #1 stated s/he bent down to talk to the resident. S/he was very close to the resident's face and would have noticed any injury. S/he said s/he later saw Hospice walking the resident to the shower with no helmet. The CNA noted that the resident was supposed to have the helmet on at all times. At 1:25 PM on 5-3-13, a telephone interview was conducted with LPN #1, who had been the 7-3 nurse at the time of the incident.

Review of March, 2012 Hospice certification documentation faxed to the State Agency on 6-6-13 revealed information that was not reflected in the Admission Assessment or Care Plan or in subsequent interdisciplinary Plans of Care: Functional Limitations noted moderate assistance required for feeding, toileting, ambulation, and transfers. Maximum assistance was noted as required for dressing and bathing. S/he (Resident #20) is not answering questions appropriately (n) or is s/he finishing sentences, is showing s/sx. (signs & symptoms) of hallucinations . between 4 and 7 PM, patient gets agitated, combative, restless, and uses profanity. Mental status notes included Anger .Forgetful, Disoriented (place and time), Agitated .seeing things that are not there . Physician Narrative included: .weak and very unsteady gait .violent and psychotic behaviors have escalated . attempts and does strike hospice aides . incontinent of B&B (bowel and bladder) and paints with her/his feces. Information obtained via fax from the facility administrator on 6-6-13 revealed that Hospice provided the same caregivers (nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants) in the skilled facility as they had in the home prior to admission. There was no evidence that these caregivers communicated with the facility to accurately assess and establish a fully-integrated, coordinated plan of care for both providers. Review of the 5-16-12 Admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) revealed that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, indicating the resident's cognitive function was severely impaired. The MDS noted her/him as requiring supervision only for bed mobility, transfer, ambulation, and eating. dressing, toileting, hygiene, and bathing required extensive assistance. Balance was steady. There was no limitation in range of motion. Behaviors initially included inattention, disorganized thinking, and wandering. Incidence of falls was noted as unknown prior to admission. Review of the 5-7-12 Resident Admission Care Plan revealed a non-specific problem of Behavior (with the word 'potential' handwritten) Dx (Diagnosis): Dementia and a problem of Wandering. There was no entry to indicate that the resident was receiving Hospice services at the time of admission, nor was there any evidence of Hospice input or review of the initial care plan. Review of Social Service Progress Notes revealed no mention of provision of Hospice services or Hospice participation in the Care Plan Review. Examination of the 5-22-12 (interdisciplinary) Plan of Care (last reviewed/updated 8-13-12) and Care Plan Review Form revealed that meetings were held on 5-22-12, 7-3-12, and 8-13-12 with Hospice representative's only reviewing/participating in the plan on 7-3-12. The 5-22-12 Plan of Care included approaches that failed to agree with the amount of assistance required in activities of daily living as stated by Hospice. Although Potential for behavior problems related to dementia and anxiety was listed as a problem, the 5-22-12 Plan of Care failed to address specific behaviors that might only have been identified through collaboration between Hospice and facility staff. Actual incidents of displayed anger, agitation, combativeness, restlessness, socially inappropriate behavior, and verbal and physical behavior directed toward others demonstrated prior to admission to the skilled facility were not addressed, indicating lack of appropriate collaboration. Hospice staff also identified hallucinations and escalation of behaviors at certain times of the day but this was not reflected in the interdisciplinary Plan of Care.",2016-06-01 8236,KINGSTREE NURSING FACILITY,425117,401 NELSON BOULEVARD,KINGSTREE,SC,29556,2013-06-07,323,E,1,0,8GKN11,"**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** On the days of the recertification and complaint surveys, based on record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that one of four residents reviewed for falls received adequate supervision to prevent accidents and provide devices to minimize injury in the event of falls. Facility staff were aware that a Hospice Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) ambulated Resident #20 to the shower without a helmet in place as ordered and care planned, though the resident had a documented history of multiple falls and agitation/behaviors related to pacing and being combative/slapping staff when attempts were made to redirect the resident.

The 7-3 nurse (LPN #1) and CNA #1 observed the resident being ambulated to the shower with no evidence of injury. Facility staff was unaware of any injury until the Hospice CNA called for the nurse's assistance related to a forehead laceration and hematoma. During interviews, the Hospice CNA denied any occurrence in the shower. The facility was unable to substantiate abuse. Review of the medical record on 5-3-13 revealed that the facility admitted Resident #20 on 5-7-12 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the 5-16-12 Admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) and the 8-12-12 Quarterly MDS revealed that the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, indicating the resident's cognitive function was severely impaired.

The care plan included problems related to dementia/behaviors, fragile skin/ tears, and falls with measurable goals and viable approaches. The Care Plan was updated with falls and interventions to prevent falls and/or minimize injury while keeping the resident as mobile as possible. Further review of the interventions for falls revealed that, the 6-27-12 physician's orders [REDACTED]. Review of Hospice information revealed that the initial referral/coverage date was 12-13-11, prior to nursing home admission. The primary coverage [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

In the visit notes, the Hospice Aide did not identify any concerns with Resident #20 until s/he became combative when I shampooed her/his hair. According to her/his written statement, the Hospice CNA did not notice anything until s/he began to towel dry the resident's hair. Then, I noted a small amount of blood on a piece of hair lying on her/his forehead. I then noticed a bruise on the right portion of her/his forehead, about 1 inch from her/his hairline. At this time, s/he notified the nurse of the resident's condition. There was no mention of bruising prior to entry into the shower, though the report indicated a number of activities had been done with the resident prior to going to the shower. Review of Nurse's Notes, in addition to the above, revealed that the resident was admitted with multiple bruises and a history of wandering. On 5-14-12, after the resident had sustained falls on 5-8-12 and 5-9-12, the resident's sons were noted taking pictures of the resident.

At 12:45 PM, the Administrator was questioned as to how CNAs were made aware of special needs related to resident care. S/he stated that the facility did not use a kardex type system but that an information sheet was placed on the inside of the closet door. The posting included such things as transfer assistance needed, ambulation, feeding, bowel & bladder status, and special instructions such as alarms, helmet, etc. In reference to Hospice, s/he stated that the Staff Development Coordinator went over policies and procedures when the staff was first assigned to the resident. During an interview at 11: 50 AM on 5-3-13, Registered Nurse #1, who assessed the resident prior to transport, read and verified her/his written statement which had been part of the facility's investigation.

As s/he was not yet ready to work with the resident, s/he continued with other duties. Between 7 & 7:30 AM, the CNA noticed the resident's call light come on. When s/he answered the light, the Hospice Aide was getting clothes together by the closet. The CNA stated s/he was at the door and the resident was sitting up in bed with her/his helmet in her/his hand. The CNA went to get linen for the Hospice Aide and returned to the room.
