On or about October 15, 2004, AHCA conducted a recertification survey
at Respondent’s facility. AHCA cited Respondent for a violation, based on the following
findings below:
a)
b)
¢)
qd)
e)
9.
Resident #23 had signed October 2004 physician orders for a criss cross belt
when in wheel chair for safety. Observation of this resident during two of the
five days of the survey revealed this resident had a shoulder/torso restraint.
During interview with the Restorative Nurse on 10/14/2004 at 11:09 a.m., they
stated they were following a physician order dated 1/28/2004.
Resident #23 had a non-specific and incomplete physician order on their signed
October 2004 Physician Orders that stated "may participate in restorative nursing
program as indicated". Record review and interview with the restorative certified
nursing assistant on 10/14/2004 at 11:30 a.m. revealed this resident was receiving
"sit/stand drills 10 reps each holding on to hand rails with assistance" and "range
of motion to bilateral lower extremities 5 reps each"; this was part of the
restorative nursing program. There was no physician order for this finding.
There was no care plan to address these findings.
Resident #16 had signed October 2004 Physician Orders for "restorative nursing
for ADL (activities of daily living) retraining, transfer, gait training".
Observation during four days of survey and medical record review revealed this
resident was independent in their ADL's, transfers and ambulation. Investigation
revealed this order had originated at the time of this resident's admission on
8/18/2000 and that the resident was not receiving these services as ordered per
current signed physician orders.
Resident #20 had a Restorative physician order to ambulate independently with a
walker 200 feet every day. Review of the activity of daily living care plan, the
restorative instructions and the documentation on the ADL sheets revealed that
the resident was being assisted to walk 100 feet 3-5 times a week only.
Interview with the MDS coordinator and the Restorative CNA on 10/14/04 at
9:55 am stated that they were sure that the physician order was changed but they
could not produce the evidence to support their claim up until 3 PM 10/14/04 .
The order was on the current physician orders.
A record review of Resident #9 on 10/12/04 revealed a physician's order dated
9/30/04 ordering the discontinuation of peanut butter with crackers as the
resident's evening snack. Further record review of the resident's Medication
Administration Record (MAR) revealed the resident continued to receive peanut
butter with crackers as of 10/11/04.
Respondent failed to follow physician orders for the above residents.
Additionally, November 2004 physician orders were not updated to reflect current and
accurate treatments and services, as required by Section 400.022(1){1), F

Resident #17 had a physician order dated 10/13/04 for "2000-2500 cc PO (oral)
fluids qd (every day). There was no documentation of the exact amounts of fluid
the resident received or when they received it after 10/16/04.
The November 2004 physician orders stated Resident #6 was to receive Fortified
Cereal (PO) every morning. This order was discontinued on 8/12/04 per record
review. On 11/4/04 the physician wrote an order for 1&O (intake and output) for
two weeks. There was no evidence of the amounts of intake and output in the
resident's medical record. After discussion with the Director of Nursing (DON)
on 11/22/04 at 4:20 p.m., the DON located two Daily Intake-Output Worksheets
(11/7/04 and 11/8/04) that addressed specific amounts and totals for 24 hours.
Resident #33 had a physician order (on the November 2004 Physicians Orders)
for increase fluid intake to 2000-5000 cc H2O (water) daily. Record amount
consumed. The MAR stated Increase Fluid Intake to 2000-2500 cc daily. The
amount of water consumed daily was not documented.
Resident #23 had a physician order (on the November 2004 Physician Orders) for
"4 02. House Shake Plus (PO) three times daily. Record amount consumed.”

dinner. Record amount consumed. Record review revealed documentation of
amount consumed for eight servings out of 42 servings documented as served for
the month of November 2004 (11/1-21/04).
A record review of the following residents revealed the physician's order to
record the amount of prune juice consumed was not followed:
#2 for 22 out of 22 days in November 2004.
A record review of the following residents revealed the physician's order to
record the amount of food supplements consumed was not followed:

15. On or about October 15, 2004, AHCA conducted a recertification survey
at Respondent’s facility. AHCA cited Respondent for a violation, based on the following
findings below:
Page 6 of 16
a) Review of the care plans on 10/12/04 and 10/13/04 on Residents #5, 6, 15, and
17, it was noted that each one had a goal of “will be free of constipation and
have a bowel movement (BM's) every three days or less through next review".
The approach states to keep accurate records of (BM's) to avoid complications,
check every shift for daily (BM's) and urination with resident, and report on
resident record. Report to nursing if no BM in two days. The following reflects
the facility's failure to communicate the problem of constipation and to initiate
their approaches to alleviate the problem:
Resident #5's record review showed a past medical history of a paralytic ileus
and from September 24, 2004 through day shift of September 29, 2004, the
resident had no record of having had a BM. The nurse notes do not indicate the
nurse was notified of this problem and the resident does not have an order for a
laxative nor was the doctor notified to obtain an order.
Resident #6 had several periods of more than two days have gone by without a
BM. These are from 8/7, 8/8, 8/9, 8/11, 8/12, 8/13 and part of 8/14, 8/25, 8/26,
8/27, 8/30, 8/31, 9/1, on 9/10 through 9/14, 9/22 through 9/23, and Oct 6, 7, and
8. Resident #6 had an order for Dulcolax 5 mg since 5/10/04 in the morning and
the evening which is given as ordered according to the Medication
Administration Record (MAR). There is also an order for a Fleets Enema when
ever necessary and there is no record of it being administered.
Resident #15, whose care plan problem states is prone to constipation/ diarrhea,
has no record of a BM on 8/3, 8/4, 8/5, 8/26, 8/27, 8/28, 8/30, 8/31, 9/1, 9/2,
9/21, 9/22, 9/23, 9/24, and on 10/7, 10/8, 10/9 and then was given a laxative 10/9.
There were only three recorded of the resident having colace on 8/6 and 8/7, no
record of colace given in September or for October as of the survey dates. An
interview with the resident on 10/13/04 at 2:30 PM revealed that she/he has a
problem with their bowels but lately it isn't quite as bad. The record for the past
week shows this resident has had bowel movement on a more regular frequency.
Resident #17 is a paraplegic and on standing orders for pain medication. In
September, the record shows no BM from 9/19 through 9/22, 9/24 through 9/28,
and in October from 10/3 through 10/10/04. There are orders for Lactulose with
Milk of Magnesia weekly and on 10/12/04, the order was changed to Milk of
Magnesia 60 cc every day and Senekot S one every 12 hours and Magnesium
Citrate every week for four weeks. On interviewing the resident on 10/14/04 at
8:30 AM, it was learned she/he had problems with blockages in the past and they
would just give him/her a lot of strong laxatives to help clean it out.
16. | Respondent failed to provide a complete and accurate care plan to address
the needs of two residents (Residents #’s 6 and 17), as required by Section 400.022(1)(1),
Florida Statutes, and Rule 42 C.F.R. 483.20(k)(3)(ii), Code of Federal Regulations, which
provide, in pertinent part, as follows:
“400.022 Residents’ rights.— (1) All licensees of nursing home facilities shall adopt

Section 400.419(2)(c), Florida Statutes (quoted above), due to the nature of the violation
and the gravity of its effect on the residents and warrants (1) a fine of $1,000; and (2) the
assignment of a conditional licensure status, pursuant to Section 400.23(7)(b), Florida
Statutes (quoted above).
18. On November 23, 2004, AHCA conducted a revisit to survey at
Respondent’s facility. AHCA cited Respondent for an uncorrected deficiency, based on
the findings below, to wit:
a) On 11/22/04 at 12:20 p.m. the spouse of Resident #23 was observed to be feeding
lunch to the resident in their room. No facility staff was in the room. Review of
this resident's care plan revealed the following approaches (begin 5/7/03) related
to aspiration precautions; instruct (resident) to alternate liquids with solids during
meals, instruct (resident) to perform throat clear technique (cough) intermittently
during meals to clear food particles from mouth and instruct (resident) to
"double swallow" after each bite or sip. These approaches were not
complete a
regular diet with thin liquids since
observed. The diet had been advanced to a
5/7/03.
b) Resident #17, who had diagnoses that included constipation and paraplegia, had a
non-specific care plan. The care plan for prone to constipation had a goal "will
be free of constipation AEB (as evidenced by) bowel movement every three days
or less." Non-specific goals included: "administer mediations as ordered and
monitor for effectiveness", "encourage adequate protein and fluid intake",
increase bulk in diet if ordered by physician”, "check for constipation, change in
bowel habits every shift and request bowel regime for pattern of constipation or
loose stools" and "keep accurate records of BM's to avoid complications, check
every shift for daily BM's and urination with resident and report on daily resident
record.” The facility was unable to identify their bowel regime for lack of BM's.
The Care Plan Coordinator stated on 11/23/04 at 1:30 p.m. that the facility did
Page 8 of 16
not have a policy and procedure to address constipation or a bowel regime and
the care plan should state "request bowel regime from the physician.” There was
no approach to address when the CNA’s, who document BM's, were to notify the
nurse of no BM for so many days. Documentation revealed this resident
frequently refused medications to promote BM's. There was no care pan to
address this finding. Documentation revealed this resident had no BM for three
days 11/5-7/04; six days 11/9-14/04; four days 11/17-21/04.
19.
The foregoing violation constitutes an uncorrected Class III violation
pursuant to Section 400.419(2)(c), Florida Statutes (quoted above), due to the nature of
the violation and the gravity of its effect on the residents and warrants (1) a fine of
$1,000; and (2) the assignment of a conditional licensure status, pursuant to Section
400.23(7)(b), Florida Statutes (quoted above).
20.
AHCA, in determining the penalty imposed, considered the gravity of the
violation, the probability that death or serious harm will result, the uncorrected actions of

22. On or about October 15, 2004, AHCA conducted a recertification survey
at Respondent's facility. AHCA cited Respondent for a violation, based on the findings
below, to wit:
ician order dated 7/1/2004 to hydrate with 1000 cc 7-3;
1000 cc 3-11; 500 cc 11-7 and intake and output (I&O) for two months. This
was not added to the monthly physician orders for August or September. The
October Physician Orders had a hand written entry for "Hydrate with 1000 cc 7-
3; 1000 cc 3-11; 500 cc 11-7". There was no physician order for the continuation
past the two months which would have ended on September 1, 2004. The need
for the hydration and the I&O was not addressed in the care plan. During
interview with the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator on 10/15/2004 at
11:55 a.m., they stated the hydration was for a urinary tract infection. Review of
the I&O records revealed no record of intake or output for 7/11, 7/12, 7/13, and
7/16 through 8/31/2004.
a) Resident #23 had a phys
b) Resident #23 had signed October 2004 physician orders for a criss cross belt

five days of the survey revealed this resident had a shoulder/torso restraint.
During interview with the Restorative Nurse on 10/14/2004 at 11:09 a.m., they
stated they were following a physician order dated 1/28/2004
c) Resident #16 had signed October 2004 Physician Orders for "restorative nursing
for ADL (activities of daily living) retraining, transfer, gait training".
Observation during four days of survey and medical record review revealed this
resident was independent in their ADL's, transfers and ambulation. Investigation
revealed this order had originated at the time of this resident's admission on
8/18/2000 and that the resident was not receiving these services as ordered per

uncharted shifts for BM's for this time period and Resident #17 had four between
September and October.
A record review of Resident #9's weekly weight form (as ordered by the
physician on 8/24/04), done 10/13/04 at 8:04 a.m. revealed blank spaces for

25. On November 23, 2004, AHCA conducted a revisit to survey at
Respondent’s facility. AHCA cited Respondent for a repeat deficiency, based on the
findings below, to wit:
a) Resident #17 had a physician order dated 10;/13/04 for "2000-2500 cc PO (oral)
fluids qd (every day)." There was no documentation of the exact amounts of
fluid the resident received or when they received it after 10/1 6/04.
b) The November 2004 physician orders stated Resident #6 was to receive Fortified
Cereal (PO) every morning. This order was discontinued on 8/12/04 per record
review. On 11/4/04 the physician wrote an order for 1&O (intake and output) for
two weeks. There was no evidence of the amounts of intake and output in the
resident's medical record. After discussion with the Director of Nursing (DON)
on 1/22/04 at 4:20 p.m., the DON located two Daily Intake-Output Worksheets
(11/7/04 and 11/8/04) that addressed specific amounts and totals for 24 hours.
Resident #33 had a physician order (on the November 2004 Physician Orders) for
increase fluid intake to 2000-2500 cc H2O (water) daily. Record amount
consumed. The MAR stated Increase Fluid Intake to 2000-2500 cc daily. The
amount of water consumed daily was not documented.
