A CNA verbally abused a resident over a cigarette lighter, using demeaning language. The incident was witnessed by an RN, who reported it to the DON and sent the CNA home. The resident had anxiety disorder and nicotine dependence. The facility's policy defines such behavior as verbal abuse.
A resident was found with a lighter on two occasions, despite a facility policy prohibiting residents from keeping fire-igniting materials. The policy required smoking materials to be kept at the nurse's station, but the resident managed to obtain lighters, leading to arguments with staff. The facility's process involved social services communicating with families to bring cigarettes and lighters to the social worker, but this was not effectively implemented, resulting in a safety and fire risk.
Verbal Abuse Incident Involving CNA and Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from verbal abuse by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). On January 28, 2024, a CNA cursed at a resident over a cigarette lighter, using demeaning language. The incident was documented in an Online Reported Incident, where the CNA admitted to the verbal abuse. The resident involved had been admitted to the facility with diagnoses of anxiety disorder and nicotine dependence. The verbal abuse was confirmed by a Registered Nurse (RN) who witnessed the incident and reported it to the Director of Nursing (DON). The RN stated that the resident had accused the CNA of not returning the lighter, leading to the CNA's inappropriate response. The RN intervened by sending the CNA home and reported the incident to the DON. The facility's policy on abuse, neglect, and exploitation defines verbal abuse as the use of disparaging and derogatory terms towards residents. The Administrator also confirmed the incident, acknowledging that the CNA's actions constituted verbal abuse.
Failure to Prevent Resident Access to Lighters
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident, identified as a smoker, did not have a lighter in their possession on two separate occasions, despite having a policy in place that prohibited residents from keeping fire-igniting materials. The policy required smoking materials to be kept at the nurse's station and for smokers to obtain lighting materials from staff. However, the resident was found with a lighter on two occasions, leading to arguments with staff members. On the first occasion, a registered nurse was informed of the situation but did not see the lighter herself. The unit manager eventually retrieved the lighter from the resident. On the second occasion, the resident was sent to the hospital for evaluation and returned the same day, after which the administrator retrieved the lighter. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the Administrator revealed that the facility's process for preventing residents from having lighters involved social services communicating with families to bring cigarettes and lighters to the social worker. Despite this process, the resident managed to obtain lighters, posing a safety and fire risk. The facility's failure to adhere to its policy and ensure the resident did not have access to lighters resulted in a deficiency being cited during the investigation of a complaint.
