Overview

3. Resident #28 had diagnoses of nontraumatic chronic subdural hemorrhage, dementia, osteoporosis, and incontinence of bladder and bowel. A Quarterly Resident Assessment, dated 03/16/23, documented the resident had an unstageable pressure area to the buttocks. A Nurses Note, dated 03/12/23 at 3:29 p.m., read in part, Resident has a small open area on .coccyx. It is only a slit within .buttocks crease. Area was cleaned and Calmoseptine applied. Will cont. to monitor area . On 04/06/23 at 9:51 a.m., CMA #2 and CNA #3 were observed assisting resident #28 with a sit to stand lift. The resident's buttocks was observed to have no open areas present. On 04/06/23 at 9:56 a.m., the DON was asked how staff determined resident #28 had an unstageable wound to their buttocks. The DON stated it was documented wrong on the quarterly resident assessment. The DON stated the MDS nurse who completed the assessment was new and had incorrectly documented the wound. The DON stated the resident never had an unstageable wound. 2. Resident #11 had diagnoses which included nondisplaced fracture of the right arm. A Resident Assessment, dated 03/02/23, documented Resident #11 received an anticoagulant seven of the last seven days (02/24/23, 02/25/23, 02/26/23, 02/27/23, 02/28/23, 03/01/23, and 03/02/23). There were no orders Resident #11 received an anticoagulant located in the residents clinical record. On 04/06/23 at 9:57 a.m., MDS Coordinator #1 and #2 were asked how they ensured the MDS was coded correctly. MDS Coordinator #1 stated they gathered information on the residents and inputted the information. They stated they referred to the RAI manual to clarify any questions they had. MDS Coordinator #1 and #2 were asked what medications Resident #11 was receiving that would be coded on the MDS. MDS Coordinator #2 stated Resident #11 was receiving aspirin and it was coded as an anticoagulant. MDS coordinator #1 and #2 were asked what was the classification of aspirin. MDS Coordinator #1 stated it was an NSAID. MDS coordinator #1 and #2 were notified what the Resident Assessment documented. They were asked based on the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment document, was Resident #11's MDS coded accurately. MDS Coordinator #2 stated, No. Based on record review, interview, and observation the facility failed to ensure resident assessments were accurate for three (#11, 25, and #28 ) of 14 sampled residents reviewed for accuracy of assessments. The Resident Census and Condition of Residents form, dated 04/05/23, documented 59 residents resided in the facility. Findings: A Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment document, dated October 2019, read in part, .Anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin, heparin, or low- molecular weight heparin) .Do not code antiplatelet medications such as aspirin . 1. Resident #25 had diagnoses which included hypertension and hyperlipidemia. A Physician Order, start date 10/14/20, documented the resident was to receive aspirin 81 mg once daily for heart health. A Quarterly Resident Assessment, dated 03/02/23, documented the resident received an anticoagulant seven of the last seven days (02/24/23, 02/25/23, 02/26/23, 02/27/23, 02/28/23, 03/01/23, and 03/02/23). On 04/06/23 at 1:53 p.m., MDS Coordinator #2 was asked to explain how they coded medications on the MDS Resident Assessments. They stated they had coded the anticoagulant medications incorrectly. They were asked to review Resident #25's 03/02/23 Quarterly Resident Assessment and explain the seven on the anticoagulant box. They stated the resident was on aspirin. They stated they had coded the aspirin incorrectly as an anticoagulant. They stated they did not realize aspirin should not have been coded as an anticoagulant.

Resident #46 had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's Disease, history of falls, and anxiety disorder. A care plan, dated 09/09/11, documented, .at risk for falls related to my history of falls and poor safety awareness due to my diagnosis Alzheimer's disease . Ensure that I am wearing appropriate footwear when ambulating .Follow facility fall protocol .Encourage me to participate in activities that promote exercise, physical activity for strengthening and improved mobility .need a safe environment with .even floors free from spills and/or clutter; adequate, glare-free light; a working and reachable call light, the bed in low position at night . A form titled, Facility Incident Report, dated 03/06/19, documented the resident was found in the floor face down between the bed and the wall. The resident had a bed alarm in place. A notation in the report under predisposing factors documented the alarm needed repair. The report further documented the resident had rolled or slid out of the bed, the bed was not locked into position, and the alarm pad did not alert staff members an incident had occurred. The resident sustained nasal fracture injuries. The report documented post fall interventions included placement of a anti-roll mattress and the staff members were educated to ensure the resident's bed was in a locked position when care was completed. A fall risk survey, dated 03/14/19, documented the resident was a high risk for falls with a score of 19 (greater than 10 indicated the resident was at high risk for falls). The survey documented the resident had a history of 1 -2 (one to two) falls in the last 6 (six) months. A quarterly assessment, dated 03/14/19, documented the resident was severely impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision making. The resident required extensive assistance of two persons with all activities of daily living. The resident had hospice services in place and did not use a motion sensor or other alarm. A care plan, last revised on 03/23/19, documented, .had an actual fall on 03/06/19 .For no apparent acute injury, determine and address causative factors of the fall .Continue interventions on the at-risk plan . The care plan did not include the added interventions of an anti-roll mattress and for staff to ensure her bed was locked after care. On 08/20/19 at 3:00 p.m., the resident was observed lying in bed, an anti-roll mattress and floor fall mat were in place. The bed was in a low position against the wall in a locked position and a motion alarm device was in use. On 08/21/19 at 9:15 a.m., the LPN (licensed practical nurse) #2 was asked if she was aware of the resident's fall on 03/06/19. She stated she was. She was asked if keeping the bed in a low and locked position, use of an anti-roll mattress, and floor fall mat were fall interventions to ensure the resident's safety. She stated they were. She was asked if the interventions should have been added to the resident's care plan. She said, Yes. She was asked if the use of the bed alarm had been included in the resident's care plan prior to her fall. She stated it had not been care planned as an intervention she was using for safety. She was asked who was responsible to update the resident's care plan. She stated the nurse or the DON (director of nurses) updated the residents care plans when physician order's were obtained, when the resident had a change in condition, and nursing staff updated care plans when the MDS (minimum data set) assessments were completed. At 10:05 a.m., the DON was asked if fall interventions were implemented after a fall, should the interventions be documented on the resident's care plan. He said,Yes. Based on observations, record reviews, and interviews it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents care plans were revised and updated to include appropriate and individualized fall interventions for one (#46) of two sampled residents reviewed with falls. The DON identified 17 residents at high risk for falls. Findings:

He stated the nursing staff should communicate the resident's need for oxygen to the physician and document the notification.

The administrator stated she had identified 30 late assessments in April 2019, 20 late assessments in May 2019, and 27 late assessments in July 2019. She was asked what she had done with the information. She stated she asked the MDS nurse how many she could complete in a day and she tried to talk with her every two weeks to see what progress had been made. She stated they had been tracking the MDS reports since April 2019. She was asked if there had been any improvement in the assessments being completed and transmitted timely. She stated they had not made any progress. At 2:00 p.m., the administrator stated the current ADON (assistant director of nurses) had started her training as of 08/21/19 to assist in the MDS department. She stated the ADON would be scheduled to complete training related to MDS assessments.
