Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sun Mar Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident receiving daily laxative and stool softener therapy via G-tube did not have a care plan for constipation, and a care plan for diarrhea/loose stools was initiated several days after the first documented episode. Despite physician orders to discontinue the stool softener, hold the laxative, and start probiotics, there was no documented monitoring for dehydration as required by the later-initiated diarrhea care plan. Nursing notes showed ongoing diarrhea, nausea, and subsequent treatment with loperamide, followed by transfer to an ICU for abnormal vital signs. The MDS coordinator and IP confirmed the absence of a constipation care plan, the delayed initiation of the diarrhea care plan, and that episodic care plans were not started until a change of condition was formally reported, creating a potential risk of not providing appropriate, consistent, and individualized care.
A facility failed to accurately complete a Level I PASARR for a resident diagnosed with major depressive disorder. The resident's PASARR was incorrectly marked as not having a serious mental illness, leading to a missed Level II evaluation. The DON acknowledged the error, noting that hospital inaccuracies were common, but the facility should have corrected the mistake upon admission.
Failure to Timely Develop and Implement Bowel Management Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to timely develop and implement comprehensive, person-centered care plans with measurable objectives and time frames for a resident experiencing bowel issues. The facility’s policy dated October 2022 required a comprehensive care plan for each resident based on the comprehensive assessment. The resident, who had decision-making capacity, was receiving daily laxative and stool softener therapy via G-tube but had no care plan addressing constipation, despite these ongoing bowel management medications. On one date, nursing progress notes documented loose stools and a physician’s order to discontinue docusate sodium, hold Geri-Kot, and start Lactobacillus. Subsequent orders confirmed discontinuation of the stool softener, holding the laxative, and initiation of probiotics for bowel management. The resident’s care plan for diarrhea and loose stools was not initiated until seven days after the first documented episode of loose stools, and the care plan interventions to monitor, document, and report signs and symptoms of dehydration were not implemented, as the medical record lacked evidence of such monitoring. Nursing notes later documented continued diarrhea, abdominal assessment findings, nausea, and a new order for loperamide for loose stools or diarrhea, followed by transfer to an acute care hospital ICU for abnormal vital signs. During interviews, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that the resident did not have a constipation care plan despite daily laxative and stool softener use and that the diarrhea/loose stool care plan was not initiated until several days after the first episode, stating it should have been initiated as soon as the episode occurred. The IP also confirmed that the loose stools were initially treated as a single episode and that the care plan was only initiated when a change of condition was reported and documented. The report states these failures had the potential risk of not providing appropriate, consistent, and individualized care to the resident.
Failure to Accurately Complete PASARR for Resident with Mental Disorder
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately complete a Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) for a resident with a serious diagnosed mental disorder. The resident, who was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, had their PASARR Level I Screening incorrectly marked as not having a serious mental illness. This error resulted in a Negative Level I Screening, and consequently, a Level II evaluation was not conducted as required. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged that the Level I Screening was incorrect and should have been updated. The DON noted that inaccuracies in Level I Screenings were often due to errors from hospitals, but confirmed that the facility staff should have corrected the mistake upon the resident's admission. The Administrator also confirmed that the resident's diagnosis of major depressive disorder should have been reflected in the PASARR, indicating a lapse in the facility's process for reviewing and updating PASARR documentation.
