Based on review of the facility policy, observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that 1 of 5 residents (Resident (R) 70) reviewed for potential accidents related to bed rail use was care planned for bed mobility and positioning with bed rails. The failure to address the use of bed rails in the comprehensive care plan could increase the risk for falls, entrapments, and injuries related to the facility's use of bed rails for vulnerable residents. Findings include: Review of the facility policy titled Subject: Developing Baseline and Comprehensive Care plans, revised 02/2018, showed: Policy: It is the policy of this facility to develop and implement both a baseline care plan and a comprehensive care plan for each resident prepared by the interdisciplinary team Procedure: a. The facility will develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission including but not limited to: i. Initial goals based on admission orders ii. Physician orders iii. Dietary orders iv. Therapy services v. Social Services vi If applicable, PASARR recommendations b. The facility will develop the comprehensive care plan within 7 days after completion of the comprehensive assessment. Review of the Resident Assessment Instrument [RAI] Manual, October 2017 edition, page G-2 showed: Planning for Care Individualized care plans should address strengths and weakness, possible reversible causes such as deconditioning, . These may contribute to needless loss of self-sufficiency. -For some residents, cognitive deficits can limit ability or willingness to initiate or participate in self-care or restrict understanding of the tasks required to complete ADLs . Individualized care plans should be based on an accurate assessment of the resident's self-performance and the amount and type of support being provided to the resident. -Many residents might require lower levels of assistance if they are provided with appropriate devices and aids, . This type of supervision requires skill, time, and patience. Page G-3 Activities of Daily Living Definitions A. Bed mobility: how resident moves to and from lying position, turns side or side, and positions body while in bed or alternate sleep furniture. Page 4-9 and 4-10 The care plan is driven not only by identified resident issues and/or conditions but also by a resident's unique characteristics, strengths, and needs. A care plan that is based on a thorough assessment, effective clinical decision making, and is compatible with current standards of clinical practice can provide a strong basis for optimal approaches to quality of care and quality of life needs of individual residents. A well developed and executed assessment and care plan: -Looks at each resident as a whole human being with unique characteristics and strengths; -Views the resident in distinct functional areas for the purpose of gaining knowledge about the resident's functional status (MDS); . Observation of R70 on 08/07/22 at 4:53 PM showed him dressed and sleeping on top of his bedding with bilateral upper quarter bed rails. During an observation and interview on 08/08/22 at 8:51 AM, R70 was dressed and seated at the bedside, bilateral upper rails in place.

Review of R70's EMR Orders tab showed an order for 1/4 Siderails to assist with bed mobility and positioning active as 06/23/21. Review of R70's EMR Assessments tab showed LN [Licensed Nurse] - Restraint / Enabling Device / Safety Device Evaluation. showed the assessment for bed/side rails was completed on 06/24/22 with a recommendation for bilateral quarter side rails for bed mobility and positioning. Previous evaluations were completed on 03/24/22, 12/24/21, 09/24/21, 06/24/21, 06/12/20, and 02/11/20.

Further review did not show any care plan regarding bed mobility.

This failure had the potential for residents with bed rails to be uninformed of the risk of severe injury and/or death associated with bed rail use. Findings include: Review of the facility policy titled Subject: Bedrail Assessment, revised 08/2017, showed residents required assessment for bed rail use, but did not address the advisement of risks and benefits or obtaining an informed consent for bed rail use. Review of R123's admission Record from the electronic medical record (EMR) Profile tab showed an admission date of 08/05/22 with medical diagnoses that included chronic pain syndrome, ataxia (poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements), and orthopedic after care. R123 was observed in bed on 08/07/22 at 4:07 PM with bilateral upper (quarter) bed rails and on 08/08/22 at 8:45 AM, R123 was observed in bed with bilateral upper bed rails. Review of the IDT [Interdisciplinary Team] - BIMS [Brief Interview for Mental Status], dated 08/05/22, from the EMR Assessments tab, showed R123 had a score of zero of a possible 15, indicative of severe cognitive impairment. During an interview on 08/07/22 at 5:14 PM, regarding if the facility had informed of the risks and benefits of bilateral upper bed rails, R123's RR stated, Nobody said anything. When queried if R123's RR had signed a consent, the RR responded that he had signed a lot, so he was unsure. In an interview on 08/08/22 at 11:50 AM, the Administrator stated the bed rail risks and benefits are gone over by the person completing the restraints assessment located in the EMR Assessments tab. Review of R123's EMR Assessment tab LN [Licensed Nurse] - Restraint / Enabling Device / Safety Device Evaluation ., completed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)1 and dated 08/07/22 showed the risks and benefits, and in the box titled Consent received from was typed R123's name. During a follow-up interview on 08/08/22 at 1:35 PM with R123's RR, at R123's room door (R123 was in bed with the head of the bed elevated and bilateral upper bed rails) regarding the licensed nurse having gone over risks and benefits and obtained consent from R123, the RR responded Well they might have but she wouldn't have understood them and had no idea what she was consenting to. In an interview on 08/08/22 at 3:20 PM, regarding the risk and benefits and consent with R123 who was severely cognitively impaired, LPN1 stated, I didn't personally go over it with them [R123 or R123's RR] but if the resident wasn't cognitive and not able to consent, I would give the responsible party the information, but I thought it was gone over in the admission process. I was just assessing. LPN1 accompanied the surveyor to the Director of Admissions (DAdmit) office at 3:24 PM and was present when the query was made if bed rail risks and benefits were reviewed during the admission process; DAdmit responded I don't go over side rails, no not at all.

Based on review of the facility policy, observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure, for 1 of 4 residents (Resident (R) 10) observed during medication administration observations, the medication was accurately labeled during 1 of 1 nasal spray medication observations. This failure to identify a mislabeled medication increases the potential of medication errors. Findings include: Review of the facility policy titled Labeling and Packaging Guidelines, 09/2020 version, showed: A. Medication Labeling: All prescription medications and all non-prescription medications not in the original manufacturer's package shall be dispensed in an approved container. Each container shall have at least the following information contained on the label: 1. The brand and generic name of the medication if the medication is a brand name drug. 2. Directions for use. During a medication administration observation on 08/09/22 at 9:10 AM, Registered Nurse (RN)1 retrieved a prescription bottle for R10 from the medication cart that contained a fluticasone 50 microgram (mcg) allergy spray labeled for two sprays in each nare daily; opened 05/14/22. Review of R10's electronic medical record (EMR) Orders tab showed a prescription for Allergy Relief 50 MCG/ACT [activation] Suspension 1 spray in both nostrils one time a day for allergies shake gently ordered 05/12/22. After reviewing the order versus the label on 08/09/22 at 9:10 AM, RN1 stated she would contact the pharmacy about the discrepancy. During a telephone interview on 08/09/22 at 2:39 PM, Registered Pharmacist (RPh), from the facility pharmacy, reviewed the pharmacy documentation and the order and stated, The label does say two and order is one. We corrected it today. The RPh confirmed the label issued in May on the allergy spray was incorrect. During an interview on 08/09/22 at 2:59 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Medication labels should match the order.
