Cover with dressing daily; -An order, dated 7/23/18, to cleanse chin with normal saline. Apply gauze. Change daily and as needed (PRN). Review of the resident’s 9/2018 treatment administration record (TAR), showed staff wrote Healed on the treatment orders for the right inner thigh and chin. Staff did not include a date the areas were healed. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 10:20 A.M., the DON said she would expect staff to get an order discontinued and removed from the POS and TAR if an area is healed. Staff should also include the date the area was healed. Further review of the resident’s record, showed a telephone order, dated 9/5/18, for [MEDICATION NAME] (antibiotic) 100 mg cap to be given every 12 hours. Staff did not include the reason why it was ordered. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 10:20 A.M., the DON said there should be a corresponding [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She would expect staff to clarify orders. 8. Review of Resident #27’s quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], showed the following: -Cognitively intact; -Required extensive assistance with most ADL’s including hygiene, bed mobility, toileting and dressing; -[DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the resident’s 9/2018 POS, showed an order, dated 4/11/18, for [MEDICATION NAME] (medication used to treat high blood pressure) 5 milligrams mg take one tablet daily. Hold if systolic blood pressure (SBP, the top number or highest blood pressure when the heart is squeezing and pushing the blood round the body) is below 100. Review of the resident’s medical record, showed the following: -On the 7/2018 MAR, staff documented the resident’s SBP 9 out of 31 opportunities.

The census was 77. Review of the facility’s Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevention Policy, dated 11/2017, showed the following: -A comprehensive skin assessment on admission and re-admission to the center may identify pre-existing signs of possible deep tissue damage already present. These signs include purple or very dark areas surrounded by [MEDICAL CONDITION] (swelling), profound redness or induration (a hardened mass or formation), bogginess (an abnormal texture of tissues characterized by a feeling of sponginess, usually because of high fluid content) and/or drainage; -A risk assessment tool that determines the resident’s risk for pressure ulcer development. The score is documented in the resident’s chart; -A resident’s risk may increase due to an acute illness or condition change and may require additional evaluation; -A skin assessment should be performed weekly; -Measures to maintain and improve the resident’s tissue tolerance to pressure are implemented in the plan of care and include: -Skin inspections with particular attention to bony prominences; -Skin cleansing with appropriate cleanser at the time of soiling and at routine intervals; -Treat skin with moisturizers; -Minimize skin exposure to incontinence using devices such as briefs and skin barriers; -Minimize injury due to shear (pressure against the skin) and friction (rubbing two surfaces against one another) through proper positioning, transfers and turning schedules; -Encourage fluid intake; -Improve resident’s mobility and activity; -Measures to protect the resident against pressure friction and shear are implemented in the plan of care: -Reposition at least every two to four hours; -Utilize positioning devices to keep bony prominences from direct contact; -Heel protectors/suspension should be implemented when the resident is in bed; -Use lift devices to move residents in bed; -Use pressure reduction devices when the resident is in a wheelchair; -A pressure reduction mattress is placed under the resident; -Resident and significant others are educated regarding the preventative skin care plan; -When skin breakdown occurs, it requires attention and a change in the plan of care. Review of the facility’s Wound Assessment policy, dated 2/25/15, showed: -Guidelines: -It is the responsibility of the licensed nurse to complete the wound assessment and to document the findings on the treatment record – wound assessment; -Assessment and documentation are completed at admission, re-admission, weekly and as needed (PRN); -The wound type is identified; -Pressure ulcers are staged based upon the Minimum Data Set (MDS) guidelines (a federally mandated assessment instrument completed by facility staff).

Call placed to wound clinic to set up closed pulse irrigation (CPI, hydro-wound debridement). Appointment for 9/10/18 is a follow up wound care appointment and to get a second opinion from the surgeon; -A nurse’s note, dated 9/12/18 at 3:20 P.M., Resident has appointment scheduled for surgery to get a [DEVICE] (a device used to vacuum drainage from the wound); -A nurse’s note, dated 9/20/18 at 6:20 A.M., Coccyx wound cleaned and dressing changed. At 4:45 A.M., resident was taken by ambulance to hospital for wound treatment; -The progress notes, showed no further documentation of wound assessments, measurements, descriptions or treatment of [REDACTED]. Observations of the resident during the survey process, showed the following: -On 9/17/18 at 2:18 P.M., resident rested on his/her back on a low air loss mattress with the head of bed raised. The resident asked to be turned; -On 9/18/18 at 10:46 A.M., the resident rested on his/her back, awake, with his/her head of bed raised; -On 9/18/18 at 12:45 P.M., the resident rested on his/her back, awake, with his/her head of bed raised; -On 9/18/18 at 2:28 P.M., the resident rested on his/her left side, awake, with his/her head of bed raised; -On 9/19/18 at 10:35 A.M., the resident rested on his/her right side, awake, with his/her head of bed raised; -On 9/19/18 at 1:41 P.M., the resident rested on his/her left side with his/her head of bed raised. The resident said his/her butt hurt earlier, but staff moved him/her and he/she is starting to feel better. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 10:20 A.M., with the DON and corporate nurse, the DON said the resident is being treated at a wound clinic for his/her coccyx. The area was debrided (surgical removal of tissue) so that a [DEVICE] could be applied. The charge nurse is responsible for providing the ordered treatments and should take measurements. The facility wound nurse was terminated in the middle of (MONTH) (YEAR). They suspect the disgruntled employee took wound reports. certified nurse aides (CNAs) also monitor the resident’s skin before showers are given and are to make the nurse aware if any changes are noted. If an area on the TAR is blank, it means the treatment was not completed. An antibiotic should have a corresponding diagnosis. The corporate nurse said the resident has a history of infections in his/her wounds. During an interview on 9/26/18 at 12:45 P.M., the wound clinic nurse said the wound clinic had seen the resident for two visits. The first visit had been on 9/5/18 and the coccyx wound had been a stage IV at that time, had a foul odor and large amounts of drainage with dead tissue. The wound had so much slough that the only option was surgical debridement. The wound physician performed an in office debridement and placed the resident on [MEDICATION NAME] 100 mg twice a day for ten days for an obvious infection to the wound. The physician wanted to apply a [DEVICE] at the time; however, due to the extensiveness of the infection and tissue death, the physician scheduled a surgical wound debridement for 9/20/18 and for a [DEVICE] to be placed at the time of surgery. The wound increased in length and width between the first appointment on 9/5/18 and the second clinic appointment of 9/10/18. The wound physician completed a wound culture on 9/5/18 and the results showed positive for bacterial growth, the surgical debridement was scheduled. At the first appointment, the facility had told the clinic the resident had the coccyx wound since (MONTH) (YEAR). The resident had the scheduled wound debridement on 9/20/18 and remained at the hospital for a 23 hour post-surgical observation and discharged back to the |

Review of the resident’s electronic physician order [REDACTED]. Review of the resident’s nurse’s notes, dated 9/10/18, showed the nurse attempted to change the S/P drain sponge (dressing at the S/P insertion site) and noted the resident’s SP catheter had become dislodged. He/she had been unable to locate the correct size of S/P catheter at the facility. The resident used a S/P sized 12 with a 10 cubic centimeter (cc) balloon. The resident’s bladder presented as slightly distended (enlarged or swollen with urine). The nurse called the physician’s nurse practitioner (NP) and the NP gave a new order to place an indwelling urinary catheter. This nurse will have the day shift nurse call the resident’s urologist to see if an appointment can be made for today, 9/10/18. This nurse placed a size 14 catheter with a 5 cc balloon via the resident’s urethra. The catheter drained yellow urine.

He/she has not seen a urologist since his/her S/P catheter came out. He/she changes and cleans the catheter him/herself. During an interview on 9/20/18 at 1:01 P.M., LPN I said the resident was admitted without a catheter and then had retention issues. A S/P catheter was placed, but has since come out. An indwelling catheter was then placed instead. Staff should obtain an order for [REDACTED]. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 10:20 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said catheter supplies are kept in the facility. Central Supply is responsible for ensuring sufficient supplies are available to staff. Nursing staff should know how to insert a S/P catheter. There should be orders now. The corporate nurse said she did not think placing an indwelling catheter instead of a S/P catheter should be considered an unnecessary procedure. The care plan should be updated to reflect the resident’s current condition and needs. 2. Review of Resident #65’s admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed the following: -Extensive assistance required for bed mobility, dressing, eating, toilet use and personal hygiene; -Indwelling catheter; -[DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the initial data collection tool, dated 8/22/18, showed the resident had an indwelling urinary catheter inserted in the hospital on [DATE]. Review of the resident’s care plan, dated 9/4/18, showed the following: -Has a urinary catheter related to [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. -Handwritten note dated 9/11/18, Foley-possibly [MEDICAL CONDITION] bladder related to C3-C4 spinal injury, awaiting urology (physician who specializes in disorders of the urinary tract) appointment and spinal surgery on (MONTH) 2; -Approaches included change catheter per policy, change drainage bag per policy, keep catheter tubing free of kinks, deep drainage bag below level of bladder, provide catheter care per policy and review for possible removal of catheter. Review of the POS [REDACTED]. During an observation and interview on 9/18/18 at 1:20 P.M., showed the resident sat in a wheelchair in his/her room, wore a neck brace and a privacy bag contained a urinary catheter drainage bag with the tubing underneath the wheelchair. He/she said he/she was supposed to have a urology consult tomorrow but got a call from the physician’s office saying he/she could not be seen. The catheter was placed in the hospital and had not been changed at the facility. Observation of the resident, showed the following: -On 9/20/18 at 10:28 A.M., he/she sat up in a wheelchair in the therapy room with the catheter tubing outside the catheter bag, looped in a circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter, with urine collected in the tubing unable to drain; -On 9/21/18 at 7:26 A.M., the resident sat on the bed and talked on the telephone. The urinary catheter drainage bag, not contained in a privacy bag, hung on a walker next to the bed, with the urine filled tubing stretched over the resident’s left leg, unable to drain into the drainage bag. During an observation and interview on 9/21/18 at 9:51 A.M., showed the resident sat on the bed, with the catheter tubing stretched over his/her left leg and extended to the catheter drainage bag, hung on a walker next to the bed.

The nurses at the facility had called his/her physician’s office several times but did not get called back. He/she was frustrated. Review of the resident’s progress notes, showed no documentation of contact with the physician’s office to inquire about setting up a urology consult. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 10:20 A.M., the DON said there should be orders for the use of a urinary catheter, including the size. The corporate nurse said it depends on the physician how often a catheter is changed. The DON said staff should document in the progress notes any communication with a physician’s office. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 3:00 P.M., the Corporate Vice President said the catheter drainage bag should be positioned below the bladder and the catheter tubing should be positioned to allow urine to drain into the collection bag. It would not be appropriate for the tubing to be looped. 3. Review of Resident #128’s admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed the following: -admitted to the facility on [DATE]; -Severe cognitive impairment; -Limited assistance to dependent on staff for personal care and mobility; -[DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review or the POS, dated 9/10/18, showed an order to place an indwelling catheter. The order did not address the size of the catheter, the size of the balloon, the reason for placement of the catheter or catheter care (cleansing of and around the catheter insertion site). Review of the 48 hour admission care plan, showed a urinary catheter inserted on 910/18. Review of the nurse’s notes, showed a new urinary catheter inserted on 9/16/18. The note did not include the size of the catheter but did note the bulb size as 10 cc’s. The note did not have a reason for the indwelling urinary catheter. Observation on 9/18/18 at 12:42 P.M., 9/19/18 at 5:37 A.M., 8:42 A.M. and 11:28 A.M., 9/20/18 at 6:46 A.M. and 2:01 P.M. and 9/21/18 at 7:09 A.M., showed the resident lay in bed on his/her back and the urinary catheter bag hung on the bedframe on the opposite side of the bed towards the door to the room. During an interview on 9/21/18 at 10:20 A.M., the DON said the catheter should always be noted on the POS and include the size, frequency of change, reason for the catheter and catheter care. | |
