Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to accurately assess, identify and provide treatment to wounds for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 4 and 28) reviewed for pressure ulcers. This place residents at risk for unmet wound care needs. Findings include: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses including heart failure and an ankle fracture. An 10/15/22 Hospital History and Physical identified Resident 4 broke her/his ankle and required surgery. An Operative Report dated 10/15/22 indicated Resident 4's ankle incisions were dressed, a sugar tong (U shaped device used to stabilize a injury) splint was placed and the foot and ankle were wrapped with elastic wrap. The 10/20/22 Admission Database (nursing assessment) noted Resident 4 had an ankle fracture, an ADL deficit with no impairments or devices, the resident was non-weight bearing, right and left pedal pulses (ankle and foot) were palpable (felt), normal and the incision could not be visualized due to a "cast/boot." There were no orders in the medical record to indicate whether the device on Resident 4's foot could or should be removed for assessment or bathing. A hospice noted dated 11/23/22 identified the boot was removed and a red area on the top of Resident 4's foot was noted due to the "boot" rubbing. An investigation dated 11/23/22 identified a purple area on Resident 4's right heel. The investigation did not identify any situations leading to the discovery of the purple area. The investigative conclusion dated 12/2/22 identified the cause of the purple area identified on 11/12/22 to be related to an orthopedic "boot." The note further added the orthopedic doctor gave orders for a special off-loading boot with cushioning to relieve pressure. A six week Post Operative note dated 12/1/22 indicated Resident 4 had a unstageable wound to her/his right heel. A Multi-Podus (specialized device used to provide pressure relief and maintain alignment) boot was provided to relieve pressure to Resident 4's foot and ankle with instructions to check the foot and ankle daily. On 12/14/22 an Addendum to the Investigation documented the hospice nurse reported a DTI (deep tissue injury) to the sole of Resident 4's right foot. The note further indicated all three wounds occured at the same time. A Hospice Note dated 12/19/22 identified a fluid filled sac on top of Resident 4's right foot was "popped" and the boot replaced. A care plan problem initiated on 10/21/22 related to a surgical wound to Resident 4's right "calf" was revised on 1/17/23 with the identification of three deep tissue injury wounds upon "cast" removal. On 3/22/23 at 8:45 AM Resident 4 was observed in bed prior to wound care with quilted heel protectors on both feet and a pillow under her/his ankles. Resident 4 was asked about her/his wounds and stated she/he wanted to rest. Staff 40 (Agency RN) confirmed it was okay with the resident to perform the treatment. Staff 40 stated Resident 4 was painful, had scheduled pain meds and a brace at all times. Staff 40 added Resident 4 had a walking boot and then a Multi Podus boot. Observations of the heel and top of the right foot appeared dry with eschar (dead tissue) and the side of the right foot had an area of dead tissue and some good tissue. There were no signs of infection in the three wounds. On 3/22/23 at 9:05 AM Staff 15 (Agency CNA) stated the facility tried to keep soft boots on Resident 4.

When asked if the device could be removed, Staff 31 stated he did not know. Staff 31 added when the "boot" came off Resident 4 was given another boot to prevent skin breakdown. Staff 31 stated there were orders to remove the boot, apply padding and notify the doctor if the wounds opened. Staff 31 added hospice was treating the wounds twice a week. On 3/24/23 at 10:14 AM Staff 13 (LPN/IP) was asked about the ankle device and stated she thought it was a non-removable cast and when it was removed the wounds were discovered. On 3/24/23 at 10:54 AM Staff 2 (DNS) was asked about the development of the pressure wounds for Resident 4, what device she/he was admitted with and whether the device could be removed. Staff 2 provided an operative report describing the sugar tong splint. No additional information was provided. 2.

A Significant Change MDS dated 11/18/22 identified one unhealed Stage 4 pressure ulcer to Resident 28's right ankle and an arterial (poor circulation) ulcer on her/his right toe. The current care plan developed 10/28/22 identified the potential for skin impairment and the presence of a Stage 4 pressure ulcer. The care plan was revised on 1/17/23 to include the toe wound. A United Wound Healing assessment dated 2/7/23 identified a full thickness chronic pressure ulcer approximately 2 mm deep. There was no description of the wound base. The ankle wound was debrided (surgical removal of dead tissue) and was further described as a partial thickness non-pressure wound. The toe wound was documented as pressure with 76 to 100% eschar (hard, dry, dead tissue) and after surgical debridment was described as full thickness non-pressure related. A United Wound Healing assessment dated 2/28/23 identified the ankle wound as closed, resolved but fragile with a chance to re-open. The toe wound was further described as pressure caused and was closed. A Skin and Wound evaluation dated 3/9/23 for the ankle wound was described as a Stage 4 pressure ulcer, present on admission and scabbed. The toe wound was described as arterial caused, acquired at the facility and was scabbed. A wound evaluation picture dated 3/21/23 showed a 1.3 cm by 0.76 cm area that appeared to have a dark, dry crusted material with a four inch by four inch indented square area surrounding the wound from a dressing on Resident 28's right ankle. The wound was resolved. A Skin and Wound evaluation dated 3/21/23 described an arterial toe wound, acquired in the facility measuring 1.1 cm by 1.0 cm in size with a scab.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide enteral (nutrition provided through a tube directly into the stomach) nutrition and oral foods appropriately for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#3) reviewed for tube feeding and nutrition. Findings include: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including stroke, weight loss, swallowing problems and no food or drink by mouth. On 2/16/22 Resident 3 had a swallowing test. The test indicated Resident 3 had severe swallowing problems. On 2/24/22 Resident 3 expressed the desire to eat and drink by mouth. The resident was informed of the risk and benefits of consuming oral food and fluids based on ongoing swallowing problems. On 2/28/22 orders were obtained to allow for three snacks a day in between three enteral feedings a day. Aspiration precautions on the 3/2022 TAR instructed staff to ensure Resident 3 was sitting up in a wheelchair for oral intake and to eat at a slow rate, take small bites and sips and limit distractions. A review of the 3/2022 MAR/TAR indicated Resident 3 was to receive three snacks per day at the scheduled times of 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM and three enteral feedings per day at the scheduled times of 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM. The snacks and enterable feedings were not spaced in a way as to encourage consumption of all food and enteral nutrition. A Nutrition at Risk note dated 3/1/22 indicated Resident 3's weight was down and she/he consumed some oral intake without evidence of choking. On 3/2/22 at 4:52 PM Resident 3 was asked about what times she/he received the enteral feedings and stated she/he did not receive any enteral feedings for that day. On 3/3/22 at 11:02 AM Resident 3 was lying in bed and stated she/he had hot chocolate and a bowl of chocolate pudding in the morning but did not have any enteral feedings.

Staff 29 denied being aware of any positioning requirements for safe consumption of food and fluids. On 3/3/22 at 12:25 PM Staff 5 (RN Unit Manager) stated enteral feedings were revised to include a higher calorie product to meet Resident 3's nutritional needs. Staff 5 added Resident 3 needed staff observation to ensure she/he was sitting upright and to encourage small bits and sips to prevent aspiration and choking. On 3/3/22 at 12:42 PM Resident 3 stated she/he had tomato soup and a banana at lunch and the last enteral feeding she/he received was on the previous day 3/2/22. Resident 3 was not receiving enteral feedings and snacks per order and staff were not ensuring positioning and monitoring of resident while eating to ensure safe consumption of nutrition. Due to scheduling snacks and enteral feedings close together, Resident 3 often refused enteral feedings which supplied the majority of Resident 3's nutritional needs. On 3/3/22 at 1:11 PM the issues with enteral feedings, snacks and supervision were discussed with Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 5. No additional information was provided.

Resident #3 will be provided nutrition per provider orders and assistance with positioning and monitoring at meals per care plan.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to follow up on pharmacy recommendations for 3 of 5 sampled residents (#s 2, 39 and 50) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for unnecessary medications. Findings include: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including malnutrition and insomnia. A pharmacy medication regimen review dated 11/2021 recommended the monitoring of sleep following the initiation of Trazodone (an antidepressant used for sleep). A pharmacy medication regimen review dated 12/2021 noted a repeated recommendation to monitor sleep for the use of Trazodone. The recommendation for sleep monitoring for Resident 2 did not occur until the second request was made in 12/2021. On 3/2/22 at 12:10 PM Staff 2 (DNS) was asked about pharmacy recommendations and stated the recommendation from 11/2021 was not implemented at the time but later in 12/2021 after the second request. , 2. Resident 39 admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). a. A Pharmacy Consultation Report dated 12/1/21 through 12/31/21 contained the following: A repeated recommendation from 11/8/21: Please respond promptly to assure facility compliance with Federal regulations. Resident 39 had a PRN order for an antipsychotic (Haloperidol) which had been in place for greater than 14 days without a stop date. Recommendations: Please discontinue PRN Haloperidol. If this PRN antipsychotic cannot be discontinued at this time, current regulations require that the prescriber directly examine the resident to determine if the antipsychotic is still needed and document the specific condition being treated prior to issuing a new PRN order. A report of the resident's condition from the facility staff to the prescriber does not meet the criteria for an evaluation. On 3/3/22 the pharmacy request to discontinue the PRN antipsychotic medication which originated on 11/8/21 was still not addressed by the prescriber or the facility. On 3/3/22 at 9:29 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 31 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated they received no response from the provider to the medication irregularities identified by the pharmacist. No follow up was done by the facility staff to ensure the recommendations were addressed. b. A Pharmacy Consultation Report dated 12/1/21 through 12/31/21 and an additional Pharmacy Consultation Report dated 2/1/22 through 2/28/22 contained the following: A repeated recommendation from 11/8/21: Please respond promptly to assure facility compliance with Federal regulations. Resident 39 had orders for the following acetaminophen containing medications: 1. Acetaminophen 1000 mg three times a day 2. Acetaminophen 1000 mg every eight hours PRN Recommendation: Please discontinue acetaminophen 1000 mg every eight hours PRN to prevent total daily acetaminophen 3000 mg per day. The pharmacy request to discontinue the additional acetaminophen medication to prevent exceeding 3000 mg per day which originated on 11/8/21 was not addressed until 2/15/22. On 3/3/22 at 9:29 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 31 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated they received no response from the provider to the medication irregularities identified by the pharmacist. No follow up was done by the facility staff to ensure the pharmacy request from 11/8/21 was implemented until 2/15/22. 3. Resident 50 was admitted to the facility in 2014 with diagnoses including diabetes with long-term use of insulin. a. Two Pharmacy Consultation Reports dated 12/1/21 through 12/31/21 and 1/1/22 through 1/31/22 contained the following: Resident 50 received Degludec insulin, Victoza insulin and Humalog sliding scale insulin (a varied dose of insulin based on blood glucose levels). Recommendation: Please optimize insulin Degludec and initiate meal insulin Lispro and discontinue the Humalog sliding scale insulin. Rationale for Recommendation: Other therapies should be optimized as prolonged use of sliding scale insulin is not recommended and use often results in wide variations in blood glucose, including prolonged periods of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). On 3/3/22 at 9:29 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 31 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated they received no response from the provider to the medication irregularities identified by the pharmacy. No follow up was completed by the facility staff to ensure the recommendation was addressed. b. A Pharmacy Consultation Report dated 12/1/21 through 12/31/21 contained the following: A repeated recommendation from 11/16/21: Please respond promptly to assure facility compliance with Federal regulations. Resident 50 had a recent recurrent seizure disorder and was receiving Tramadol 50 mg every eight hours PRN which may lower seizure threshold. Recommendation: please discontinue Tramadol, taper as appropriate. Rationale for Recommendation: Tramadol may lower seizure threshold. "If this therapy was to continue with the current regimen, it was recommended that a) the prescriber document an assessment of risk versus benefit, indicating that it continued to be a valid therapeutic intervention for this individual: and b) the facility interdisciplinary team ensured ongoing monitoring for effectiveness and potential adverse consequences (e.g., seizures)." On 3/3/22 at 9:29 AM Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 31 (Regional Nurse Consultant) stated they received no response from the provider to the medication irregularities identified by the pharmacy. No follow up was completed by the facility staff to ensure the recommendation was addressed.

Resident #2 drug regimen review follow up will be completed timely. Resident #39 drug regimen review follow up will be completed timely. Resident #50 drug regimen review follow up will be completed timely.

DON/Designee will conduct audit of monthly pharmacist drug regimen reviews to verify recommendations have been communicated to the provider and follow up completed. Audits will be conducted weekly for 4 weeks, then monthly for 2 months. Audit trends will be reported to facility QAPI x 3 months for review and further recommendations.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure appropriate psychotropic (medication that alters the brain's chemistry) medication use for 1 of 5 sampled residents (#51) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for unnecessary psychotropic medications. Findings include: Resident 51 was admitted to the facility in 2020 with diagnoses including dementia and seizures. The 2/2022 MAR indicated Resident 51 had a 10/17/21 order for Haldol (antipsychotic medication) and a 2/3/22 order for Ativan (antianxiety medication). Resident 51 received both medications on a PRN basis in 2/2022. There was no additional documentation in Resident 51's medical record for the extended use beyond 14 days of Ativan or the required examination and evaluation by the provider for the renewal of the Haldol order. On 3/2/22 at 4:33 PM Staff 2 (DNS) acknowledged Resident 51 did not have documentation to justify the PRN Ativan and Haldol orders beyond the initial 14 days.

Resident # 51 Haldol order was discontinued by provider on 3/3/22. DON/Designee will complete baseline audit of current residents who receive prn psychotropic medications to verify they do not extend beyond 14 days unless provider documents resident evaluation, rationale for continued use and duration of the order. Identified inconsistencies addressed. DON/Designee initiated further education to Licensed Nurses 3/15/22 with specific focus on prn psychotropic medications to include residents who receive prn psychotropic medications orders cannot extend beyond 14 days unless provider documents rationale and duration of the order and Residents who receive prn anti-psychotic medication, order is limited to 14 days unless provider evaluates the resident for continued need. . DON/Designee will conduct audit of current residents with prn psychotropic medication orders to verify prn psychotropic medication orders do not extend beyond 14 days unless rationale and duration are documented by the provider and that for prn anti-psychotics, order is limited to 14 days unless provider evaluates the resident for continued need. Audits will be conducted weekly for 4 weeks, then monthly for 2 months. Audit trends will be reported to facility QAPI x 3 months for review and further recommendations.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to appropriately handle PPE (personal protective equipment) based on infection control standards for COVID-19 for 3 of 3 facility halls and failed to handle tube feeding equipment in a sanitary manner for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for tube feeding. This placed residents at risk for contracting COVID-19 and cross contamination. Finding include: According to CDC guidance: Face shields should be disinfected and stored in plastic containers or plastic bags and face masks if reused during crisis PPE shortage should be stored separately and in paper bags. PPE instructions for staff entering isolation rooms with residents on droplet precautions included: perform hand hygiene, put on gloves, gown, N95 mask and face shield. Prior to exiting the room staff should remove the gown and place in a lidded trash receptacle or covered laundry receptacle and dispose of the gloves in a covered trash can. Upon exiting the room: close the door, remove N95 mask and discard, perform hand hygiene, remove and sanitize their face shield (allowing set time for the disinfectant), perform hand hygiene again and don a clean N95 mask and the sanitized face shield. The door to the room must remain closed. On 2/23/22 at 4:29 PM Staff 26 (CNA) was observed to remove her N95 mask and face shield, place them on top of a plastic storage bin and exit the facility to smoke. On 2/23/22 at 4:38 PM Staff 7 (Medical Records) removed both her medical mask (not the required N95) and face shield and placed them together inside a plastic storage bin and exited the facility. Masks and face shields should not be stored together.

Staff 26 did not disinfect her face shield before reusing it. No disinfection area or supplies were observed near the location of the plastic storage bins. On 2/24/22 at 9:41 AM isolation room 31 was observed to have a droplet precautions sign at the entrance. Another sign instructed staff regarding the repeat use of N95 masks. The sign indicated staff were to place their used mask in a labeled plastic bag and place the bag in the PPE storage cart. The cart was observed to have three plastic bags containing used masks in the top drawer. There was no face shield disinfection area or supplies near room 31. On 2/24/22 at 11:45 AM Staff 27 (Nursing Assistant) was observed to place a large garbage bag on the floor outside an isolation room. Staff 27 obtained a gown from the PPE cart, removed his face shield, removed his used N95 mask and put on new N95 mask. Staff 27 placed his used N95 mask in a plastic bag. A few minutes later Staff 27 was observed to exit the isolation room wearing full PPE. He then removed his gown in the hall and placed it into the plastic garbage bag on the floor. Staff 27 put on his used N95 mask from the plastic bag. Staff 27 did not disinfect his face shield after exiting an isolation room. On 2/25/22 at 1:20 PM Staff 25 (CNA) was observed getting ready to enter isolation room 7. Signs were posted at the room to demonstrate how to put on and take off PPE. Staff 16 (Infection Preventionist) was observed providing instructions to Staff 25. After a few minutes in the room, Staff 25 exited isolation room 7 wearing full PPE. Staff 16 stopped Staff 25 and informed him of the need to remove his gown and gloves inside the isolation room and provided instructions for face shield disinfection, product contact time, application of a new N95 and hand hygiene. On 2/25/22 at 1:31 PM observations of staff PPE use was discussed with Staff 16 who stated staff needed additional education related to the proper handling, storage and disinfection of PPE. , 2. Upon entrance to the facility on 2/23/22 facility Administrative staff indicated there were currently two residents and one staff member who tested positive for COVID-19 in the facility. Staff indicated when COVID-19 was present in the building an N95 respirator mask and face shield or protective goggles should be worn. PPE instructions for staff entering isolation rooms with residents on droplet precautions included: perform hand hygiene, don gloves, gown, N95 mask and face shield. Prior to exiting the room staff should remove the gown and place in a lidded trash receptacle or covered laundry receptacle and dispose of the gloves in a covered trash can. Upon exiting the room: close the door, remove N95 mask and discard, perform hand hygiene, remove and sanitize their face shield (allowing set time for the disinfectant), perform hand hygiene again and don a clean N95 mask and the sanitized face shield.

Upon exiting the room Staff 30 failed to remove her now contaminated procedure mask and face shield. She did not sanitize the face shield as outlined by the signage for the room and she left the resident's door open. An interview on 2/24/22 at 10:26 AM with Staff 30 directly following her leaving Room 19 included her responses as to why she did not follow the procedures posted on the door for a room on droplet precautions: -She did not work at the facility, so she did not know the rules. She was temporary agency staff. -She did not need an N95 mask because she was not fit tested for one. -She thought the resident was on precautions for CPAP (a machine to assist with breathing) use, although there was no signage to indicate the resident was on precautions for CPAP use. -There were no cleaning supplies on the PPE cart so she could not sanitize her face shield. Staff 30 acknowledged she did not follow the droplet precaution procedures posted on the door of Room 19. On 3/1/22 at 1:00 PM Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS), and Staff 16 (Infection Preventionist) were notified of Staff 30's failure to follow Infection Control procedures related to PPE use. Staff 1 indicated Staff 30's agency was notified of her failure to follow infection control protocols. , 3. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including stroke and swallowing problems. On 2/23/22 at 3:19 PM a tube feeding bag was observed hanging on a pole in Resident 3's room. The bag was not labeled or dated and the cap on the top of the bag was open to the air. On 3/2/22 at 4:52 PM a tube feeding bag was again observed hanging on a pole in Resident 3's room. The bag was not labeled or dated and the cap on the top of the bag was open to the air. The tubing from the bottom of the bag contained residual enteral liquid (nutritional feeding administered directly into the stomach). On 3/3/22 at 1:11 PM infection control concerns were discussed with Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 16 (Infection Preventionist). Staff 16 stated she was working on education related to the proper handling of tube feeding bags. No additional information was provided.

Rsd #3 Enteral Feeding Equipment was discarded and is being managed, when not in use, in a manner to maintain infection control standards. Staff 26, 7, 27, 25 and 30 were re-educated regarding procedures regarding PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) usage and hand hygiene. Residents and staff in the facility have the potential to be affected. DON/Designee initiated further education to Staff 3/15/22 regarding infection control practices for enteral feeding equipment.
