JURISDICTION AND VENUE |
1. _. The Agency has jurisdiction pursuant to §§ 120.60 and 400.062, Florida Statutes (2007).
2. Venue lies pursuant to Florida Administrative Code R. 28-106.207.
PARTIES
3. The Agency is the regulatory authority responsible for licensure of nursing homes and
enforcement of applicable federal regulations, state statutes and rules governing skilled nursing ©
facilities pursuant to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987, Title IV, Subtitle C (as amended),
Chapter 400, Part Il, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 59A-4, Florida Administrative Code.
4, Respondent operates a 119-bed nursing home, located at 40 Acme Street, Jacksonville,

COUNTI
RESPONDENT’S FACILITY FAILED TO DEVELOP A PLAN OF CARE TO ASSESS,
REASSESS AND MONITOR FULL SIDE RAILS,
59A-4.109(2), Florida Administrative Code (2007)
ISOLATED CLASS II DEFICIENCY
6. The Agency re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs one (1) through five (5), as if fully set
forth herein.
7. That Florida Law provides that the facility is responsible to develop a comprehensive
care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet a
resident’s medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the
comprehensive assessment. The care plan must describe the services that are to be furnished to
attain or maintain the resident’s highest practicable physical, mental and social well-being. The
care plan must be completed within 7 days after completion of the resident assessment, 59A-
4.109(2), Florida Administrative Code (2007).
8. That on April 14, 2008 to April 18, 2008 an unannounced licensure survey was
conducted at the Respondent’s facility.
9. Based upon observation, clinical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to
develop and revise care plans to reflect the current level of function for five of thirty-four
sampled residents, Residents #86, #134, #102, #117, and #98. Failure to develop a plan of care
and revise care plans to reflect the current level of function for each resident could result in staff
not providing the appropriate care and services to meet the resident at the point of their need.
The findings include:
1. Interview with the Unit manager on 4/ 16/08 at 10:00 am regarding Resident #86 stated
that they are monitoring for psychotropic medications, Seroquel, Depakote and Ativan
PRN. The current plan of care for psychotropic medications stated that the resident was
at risk for signs and systems of side effects related to psychotropic medications Depakote
and Zoloft. Seroquel was not listed on the plan of care.
2. A review of the current plan of care for Resident #134 revealed two areas that did not
reflect the resident’s current status and may not have reflected the resident's needs on
admission. The initial plan for cognition dated 1/22/08 revealed short and long term
memory loss and impaired decision making ability. The resident was able to voice needs
to staff. The goal was that the resident "will continue to voice needs thru next review"
which was noted as 4/22/08. One of the approaches was to provide mental stimulation,
and provide one on one visits regularly. There were no specific activity interventions
noted for what would provide mental stimulation. There was no evidence that the facility
had recognized the resident's past interest in the religious community. The Activities
Progress notes, admission note dated 1/13/08, noted the resident as "a wanderer and that
the resident liked to walk. Will place the resident on the BB "busy buddy" list and do
activities on the go". The Progress notes quarterly note on 4/9/08 identified that the
resident was a "busy buddy" with no indication on a plan of care as to what the "busy
buddy” activities would be.
The communication plan of care dated 1/22/08 noted the resident's speech to be clear and
had no problem voicing concerns, Interview with South wing nursing staff on 4/15/08 at
1:45 PM noted that the resident can state a few words, but the resident cannot tell you
what they would want to do and the resident's speech was not clear. Interview with a
family member on 4/14/08 at 12:45 PM revealed that the family member cannot
understand the resident. .
3. Review of the record for Resident #117 revealed this resident had lost a significant
amount of weight. The resident weighed 235 pounds when he/she was admitted on
11/1/07. In January, 2008, the resident weighed 222 pounds and in April, 2008 the
resident weighed 209. Review of the Registered Dietitian's notes dated 4/2/08 revealed
this resident had lost weight and recommended extra portions of meat at each meal. The
resident was also ordered to receive 2 scoops of protein powder three times each day
relative to low albumin levels.
Review of the Physician Order Sheet (POS) dated 4/1/08 revealed this resident was on a
No Added Salt (NAS) diet with extra portions of meat and 2 scoops of protein powder
three times each day. Review of the care plans dated 2/20/08 with a target date of
6/20/08 revealed no nutritional care plan for this resident. Interview with the Minimum
Data Set (MDS) Coordinator at 2:45 PM on 4/17/08 confirmed that the facility had failed
to develop a nutritional care plan for this resident.
Review of the record revealed Resident #117 was ordered Prolixin, a psychoactive
medication, on 3/5/08 for behaviors exhibited. Review of the psychoactive care plan
dated 2/20/08 revealed care plan had not been revised to reflect the use of Prolixin.
4. Resident #98 was observed independently eating a plate of pureed food at lunch on
4/14/08 from 12:29'p.m. to 1:15 p.m. The same resident was again observed on 4/15/08
at 8:30 a.m. independently eating a plate of pureed food during breakfast.
A review of the clinical record revealed that there was a physician's order, dated 3/31/08,
that read that Resident #98 was not to receive tube feeding if he/she ate a meal (breakfast,
lunch and dinner); however, if the resident choked or did not eat a meal, commence with
tube feeding. The order was noted by nursing on 4/5/08.
The care plans for activities of daily living and another for nutrition, both dated 4/10/08,
read that Resident #98 was totally dependent for eating and was to receive both tube
feedings and pureed meals. Interventions included: tube feed flow rate was 65 ce per hour
via g-tube for 15 hours per day; the tube feeding time was from 6 a.m. 3 p.m.; provide
pureed diet with nectar thick liquids. Neither care plan mentioned the conditions that the
resident was to receive the tube feeding or puteed food.
Interview with the M.D.S. (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator on 4/17/08 at 12:06 p.m.
confirmed that she had not carried over the physician's order for the resident to receive
either the tube feeding or the pureed meals if certain conditions had not been met to the
care plan. The same interview revealed that the M.D.S. coordinator was not aware that ~
Resident #98 was no longer totally dependent on staff with eating pureed meals by
mouth.
5. Observation of Resident #102 on 4/14/08 at 1:15 p.m. revealed that he/she was lying
in bed, resting comfortably. The tube feed was running at 250 ml per hour of Nutren 1.5
with Fiber running at 250 ce per hour and water flushes at 100 ce every 8 hours. The bed
was elevated 30° degrees. A bag of water was hung from the pole as well as a bag of
formula.
At 12:42 p.m. on 4/16/08 Rt. #102's eyes were closed. The tube feed was running at 250
cc per hour and water flushes were set at 100 ml every 8 hours.
Resident #102 had a care plan for nutrition that had not been updated to reflect resident's
current tube feeding formula, rate and fluid needs. The care plan was last updated on
; oy 15/08 to reflect an increase in bolus feedings of Pro-balance at 7 cans a day. A
physician's order, dated 3/28/08, changed the tube feeding formula and the administration
rate to 250 cc per hour of Nutren 1.5 with Fiber, 8 bolus feedings each day. Water
flushes were changed from 200 cc every shift to 100 cc every shift. The resident's next
scheduled review would have been in June 2008.
10. The above constitutes a violation of 59A-4.109(2), Florida Administrative Code (2007),
and constitutes an isolated Class III deficiency pursuant to § 400.23(8)(c), Fla. Stat. (2007).
11, The Agency provided Respondent with a mandatory correction date of May 18,.2008.
12. That on May 21, 2008, the Agency conducted an unannounced revisit from the
recertification survey of April 18, 2008, at Respondent’s facility.
13. Based on record review and interview the facility failed to develop a plan of care to
assess, reassess and monitor full side rails for 5 of 12 sampled residents, Residents #29, #53,
#97, #1 32, and #133, who were at risk of side rail entrapment. Failure to develop a plan of care
for side rails can result in resident being at risk for entrapment.
The findings include:
. 1. Resident #132 was newly admitted on 5/6/08 with one of the diagnoses being
Huntington Chorea. Upon admission the Resident was assessed by the facility for the use
of side rails and side rail entrapment risk. The side rail entrapment assessment resulted in
the Resident being at risk. The initial plan of care for the Resident did not include
interventions to guide the staff on the use of side rails and/or the monitoring of the
Resident at risk of entrapment.
2. Resident #133 was newly admitted on 5/13/2008 with diagnoses of Alzheimer's
Dementia and Encephalopathy. Upon admission the Resident was assessed by the
facility for the use of side rails and side rail entrapment risk. The side rail entrapment
assessment resulted in the Resident being at risk. The initial plan of care for the Resident
did not include interventions to guide the staff on the use of side rails and/or the
monitoring of the Resident at risk for entrapment.
3. Review of record for Resident #29 revealed that the Resident was assessed for
entrapment due to the use of side rails. The result of the assessment was that the Resident
was at risk for entrapment. Review of the Resident's plan of care revealed that there was
a care plan for falls. There were no interventions to guide the staff on the use of side rails
and/or the monitoring of the Resident at risk of entrapment.
4. Review of record for Resident #53 revealed that the Resident was assessed for
entrapment due to the use of side rails. The result of the assessment was that the Resident
was at risk for entrapment. Review of the Resident's plan of care revealed that there was
a care plan for falls. There were no interventions to guide the staff on the use of side rails

was at risk for entrapment. Review of the Resident's plan of care revealed that there was
a care plan for falls. There were no interventions to guide the staff on the use of side rails
and/or the monitoring of the Resident at risk of entrapment.
6. On 5/21/2008 at 12:15 PM during an interview with Director of Nursing (DON), these
findings were reviewed. The DON stated that the facility did not develop a plan of care
for side rai] use and proper monitoring of the resident for entrapment safety post the
assessment for Resident #29, #53, #97, #132, and #133.
14. The above constitutes a violation of 59A-4.109(2), Florida Administrative Code (2007),
and constitutes an isolated Class III deficiency pursuant to § 400.23(8)(c), Fla. Stat. (2007).
