This was true of one (1) of one (1) sample residents reviewed for infections (not UTI or Respiratory). This practice had the potential to effect more than a limited number. Resident identifier: #33. Facility census: 111. Findings include: a) Resident #33 During the initial tour of the annual Long-Term Care Survey Process, on 06/03/19 at 11:15 AM, Surveyor# observed Resident (R#33) with dried crusted drainage around a small open circular wound site located on the resident's upper abdominal right side. This was identified as a concern for further investigation by Surveyor# due to the open wound draining and not being covered with a dressing. Review of records, on 06/10/19 at 11:01 AM, revealed R#33's brief interview for mental status (BIMs) score is fourteen (14) indicating the resident is cognitively intact. Pertinent [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident was admitted to the facility after having incision and drainage (I&D) of abscesses, which developed after having lower-back spinal surgery and after having a cholecystectomy. A cholecystectomy is the surgical procedure to remove a gallbladder. After gallbladder surgery the resident had a drainage tube at the surgical site, on his right upper abdomen, to prevent the build-up of bile, blood, and/or infection. The resident developed an abscess on his right side and another incision and drainage procedure was performed and a drainage tube was again placed to facilitate healing. On 04/04/19, after the drainage tube was removed a new order was given to clean surgical incision to right side with wound cleanser, pat dry, and apply dry dressing every day. Review of the treatment administration record (TAR) revealed daily wound care treatment including a dry dressing was ordered and started on 04/04/19 and on 06/05/19 the wound nurse obtained an order to discontinue treatment due to resident refusing treatment. From the time of the order until the order was discontinued there were sixty-two (62) opportunities to provide daily wound care treatment and it was documented treatment was provided randomly only in the month of April. R#33 received wound care treatment eighteen (18) days due to resident refusing care on the other days, and three (3) times out of the sixty-two (62) opportunities to provide daily wound care treatment there was no documentation either way as to refusal or provision. An interview with the wound nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN#84), on 06/10/19 at 11:44 AM, revealed LPN#84 said she kept trying to get R#33 to allow her to provide the wound treatment but he always refused. LPN#84 said the resident would let her clean and measure the wound weekly but not provide treatment and place a dry dressing on it daily as it was ordered. This surveyor requested evidence or documentation showing the resident refused wound care treatment. LPN#84 asked the nurse unit manager (LPN#61), to help review R#33's medical records for the requested documentation, while she finished the interview with this surveyor. LPN#84 said she was aware there was still some occasional drainage from the wound site. LPN#84 agreed the physician should have been notified concerning the resident's refusal of daily wound care and dressings. LPN#84 said she thought she contacted the physician sometime during the middle of (MONTH) and told the physician about the resident's refusal of treatment, however she said she did not document the conversation as she should have. When asked what instructions the physician gave her, LPN#84 said, I was to keep encouraging the resident to allow dressing changes. After review of the resident's medical records the nurse unit manager (LPN#61) stated she could find no documentation concerning refusal or non-compliance with the wound care treatment. LPN#61 said there was documentation concerning refusing care and non-compliance in other areas, but nothing concerning wound care. The facility was unable to provide any documentation or evidence that patient education was provided to the resident or any documentation that showed the physician was notified of the resident's refusals of wound care treatment. Review of care plan, on 06/10/19 at 11:23 AM, revealed a focus area related to the potential for further skin breakdown due to history of abscess to right side s/p (status [REDACTED]. An intervention added to this focus area on 06/05/19 by the wound nurse LPN#84 was Resident frequently refuses to come back from room from outside smoking for treatments to be completed A revision noted to the focus area potential for further skin breakdown on 06/06/19 now includes Resident noncompliant with wound treatments at times. The care plan was not revised timely to address resident's ongoing noncompliance with daily wound care treatments. The care plan was not revised to reflect any interventions addressing non-compliance and refusal of care in other areas that LPN#61 confirmed was documented in the resident's medical record. An interview with the Center Nurse Executive (CNE), on 06/10/19 at 2:30 PM, confirmed staff should have notified the physician sooner than 06/05/19, more than forty days after the resident consistently refused wound care treatment. The physician should have been notified when the resident continued refusing daily wound care treatment, so that the physician could order an alternative treatment if they chose to. The CNE confirmed R#33's care plan should have been revised with interventions concerning refusal of treatment and non-compliance prior to 06/05/19, due to the ongoing refusal of daily wound care treatment. The CNE also confirmed based on R#33 medical record showing non-compliance and refusal of care in other areas the care plan should have been revised to address refusal of care in those areas as well. | 2020-09-01 |
