Resident identification: #12. Facility census 16. Findings include: a) Resident #12 A review of the medical record revealed that Resident #12 had been admitted to the facility on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Her annual screening by Rehabillation Services on 08/29/12, indicated that her left hand was contracted and suggested continuing the use of a splint on this hand, although the resident removed it at times. The active physician's orders [REDACTED]. This order was added on 09/30/11. The care plan continues to include Arm sling to left arm while up and Adjustable resting splint to (L) hand/wrist 20 - 24 hours per day to manage (L) digits and wrist in neutralposition. Employee #1 (Registered Nurse) stated at 6:30 a.m. on 12/05/12, that the sling or the splint were no longer used because the resident would not leave them on. During an interview with Employee #17 (nurse aide) at 6:30 a.m. on 12/05/12, she stated that they no longer applied the sling or splint because the resident would just remove them. During an observation of the resident at 8:20 a.m. on 12/5/12, the resident was being positioned and served her meal. The resident exhibits limitations on her left and did not have a splint on. The resident was observed daily during the survey and never had either a sling or splint applied. At 9:50 a.m. on 12/06/12, Employee #19 (nurse) was asked to locate the sling and splint in the resident's room. After searching, she did locate a clean sling and sheepskin hand wrap in a storage cabinet in the room, but she and the DON, who was also present, agreed that the staff were NOT attempting to use them on a regular basis. During an interview, shortly after, the DON acknowledged that the care plan was not being followed by the aides, but stated that she needed to speak to the physician and change the order and the care plan. 2016-05-01
