| 16 | PINE LODGE | 515001 | 405 STANAFORD ROAD | BECKLEY | WV | 25801 | 2017-06-02 | 318 | D | 0 | 1 | ELSQ11 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, staff interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one (1) of three (3) residents reviewed for range of motion received services to help prevent further decline. Resident #43 had contractures of the right hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, but had no range of motion or orthotics ordered to help prevent further decline or other negative outcomes. Resident identifier: #43. Facility census: 116. Findings include: a) Resident #43 Review of the resident's medical record on [DATE] found the resident's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the admission minimum data set (MDS) with an assessment reference date (ARD) of [DATE], found she came to the facility with contractures of the right hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Review of the most recent comprehensive assessment with an ARD of [DATE], found she was assessed with [REDACTED]. The facility assessed her as having received no therapy services, no restorative nursing services, and no hand or wrist splint/orthotic device during the look back period. Her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was eleven (11), indicating moderately impaired cognitive functioning. On [DATE] at 4:45 p.m., the administrator provided a copy of the resident's current care plan. Review of the care plan found a focus statement related to the right side extremities being weaker than the left, and contractures of the right shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. However, there was no goal related to what the facility hoped to achieve related to contracture maintenance, and no interventions on how the facility planned to ensure no worsening of the contractures, or no negative outcomes related to the contractures. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:01 p.m., Director of Rehabilitation Services #52 said this resident first began therapy services [DATE] through [DATE]. Their old record keeping was done on paper and they had transferred to electronic documentation sometime in (YEAR). She reviewed the numerous times this resident had physical therapy (PT) and/or occupational therapy (OT) services in (YEAR) and found the following: - She was on PT and OT caseload [DATE] through [DATE]. - She received PT and OT services [DATE] through [DATE]. - She again received PT and OT services [DATE] through [DATE]. - She was on PT caseload [DATE] through [DATE]. Director of Rehabilitation Services #52 said she assumed the resident had a hospitalization in there somewhere. - She received OT services [DATE] through [DATE]. - She received PT and OT services [DATE] through [DATE]. Director of Rehabilitation Services #52 said they screened every patient in the facility at least every three (3) months at the time their quarterly assessments were due, and on patients after they sustained a fall. She said they also have a HEY program whereby they keep referral sheets at every nursing station. She said if any employee within the facility had a concern about a resident's functioning, they could communicate their concerns to therapy by utilizing the referral sheets. Director of Rehabilitation Services #52 said they screened this resident on [DATE] after she was readmitted to the facility following a psychiatric inpatient admission. They found that she was able to propel in a wheelchair around the facility and there was no change in functional transfers. Upon inquiry, she said the last time OT had her on case load was (MONTH) (YEAR). At that time, OT had goals for passive and active range of motion (ROM) to the right upper extremities, ten (10) repetitions for three (3) sets daily to establish a contracture management program. OT also had goals for her to tolerate a right hand orthotic for two (2) hours initially, with the goal to tolerate it long-term for four (4) hours. The final long-term OT goals were to discharge the resident to the restorative program with 100% staff training for the contracture management program. She said the director of nursing (DON) was the head of the restorative program. In an interview on [DATE] at 4:15 p.m., the DON said therapy did not say to pick her back up for restorative when they did her screening upon her return to the facility following that (MONTH) psychiatric hospitalization . Upon inquiry, she said this resident had not received restorative services since her return to the facility on or around [DATE]. On [DATE] at 4:22 p.m., during a joint interview with the DON and Director of Rehabilitation Services #52, the DON said the resident used to have a Posey roll. She said the resident also used to receive restorative services with the restorative aides. The DON said that formerly this resident had physician orders [REDACTED]. The DON said the old orders expired, and there were no new admission orders [REDACTED]. She said PT completed a screening upon her return to the facility from the hospital, and did not order restorative services or the Posey hand roll. She said that in all likelihood this may have fallen through the cracks. The DON said she felt that nursing assistants did enough range of motion during the activities of daily living to make it count for range of motion. The DON and Director of Rehabilitation Services #52 said they would check with therapy the next day to see if they want her picked back up again for restorative services. On [DATE], interviews with Nurse Aides (NA) #64 and #38, at 5:30 p.m. and at 5:35 p.m., respectively, revealed they were trained in nurse aide classes to exercise limbs of residents who had paralysis. NA #38 said she was assigned to provide care for this resident that day. She said she knew to exercise the affected limb. She said she has had no instructions to apply any type of splint, orthotic, carrot, or Posey roll to the affected hand. During an interview with the resident on [DATE] at 9:41 a.m., she demonstrated that she could use her left hand to try to stretch out the fingers on her right hand. The little finger and the thumb of the right hand were not contracted. The three (3) middles fingers on the right hand were contracted and she could not stretch them out. The three fingers were bent downward, and then pointed back toward the wrist. The fingernails that could be visualized were trim. There was no odor noted. During an another interview with Director of Rehabilitation Services #52 on [DATE] at 1:20 p.m., she said that OT looked at the resident and determined that she had not sustained any decline in functionality. She said they picked her back up on caseload. On [DATE] at 8:15 a.m., during an interview with OT #11, a box with a Posey hand splint inside was noted on her desk that had the resident's name written in black marker on the outside of the box. OT #11 said she assessed the resident yesterday and saw no decline in the functionality of the resident's right hand. She said the functionality of the resident's hand was the same as it was during the time she had most recently received therapy services. When asked what would happen if the resident did not wear the Posey hand splint, she said the palm of the resident's hand would become macerated, and her contracted fingertips could intrude into the palm. When asked if she would always need to wear a device of that type, she replied in the affirmative. She said the contracture would not correct itself at any time in the future, so it would be a lifetime need for the device. When asked whether the restorative service aides or the regular aides on the floor would apply the Posey when she was discharged from OT, she said only the restorative aides would apply it. She said the regular aides on the floor did not apply orthotics, and would not do so unless the policy changed sometime in the future to allow the aides to do so. She agreed that upon her return from the hospital in March, that she should have been picked up again for restorative and for the orthotic, and she was not. | 2020-09-01 |
