According to state surveyors, “the facility failed to notify the Physician of medication and medical testing refused by [one resident].” A review of the resident’s progress Notes revealed that the resident “had aggressive [outburst], had been verbally inappropriate, refused medications, showers, assistance with activities of daily living, blood glucose monitoring, and insulin daily since admission.”
However, it was determined that there was no evidence that the Physician had been notified of the resident's repeated refusals.” The resident had received treatment from the psychiatric nurse practitioner who had documented that the resident “refused all of her ordered medications.”
A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed that “she had not notified the Physician [that the resident] refused her medication and blood glucose monitoring.”
The nursing home “failed to prevent the development of an avoidable stage III pressure ulcer” and “failed to timely implement treatment for” the pressure wound. The incident involved actual harm to a resident “who developed an avoidable stage III pressure wound.”
The survey team reviewed the resident’s Nursing Progress Note that revealed that area to the sacrum of the resident was noted. The “open area was documented as appearing to be a moisture lesion from frequent incontinence. The wound bed was documented as being read with no drainage or sign/symptoms of infection noted. A stage was not given to the open area, and no measurements were given.”
The nursing home “failed to store chemicals utilized by laundry services properly. Additionally, the facility failed to prevent a resident from wandering into a dangerous location.” The incident involved and independently mobile, cognitively impaired resident with access to the service hallway.”
The resident’s Nurse Progress Notes revealed that the resident “was seen coming through the double doors of the service hallway [while] carrying wet floor signs. The resident was then observed by the staff grabbing a fire extinguisher out of the cabinet on the wall.”
The report indicates that “it was very difficult to redirect the resident [who was] noted to have an unsteady gait and would step backward, often losing balance. One on one supervision was provided and noted to be ineffective.”
