Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Atlantic Shores Nursing And Rehab Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Nurses failed to follow physician's orders and monitor a resident's condition changes timely, leading to emergency hospitalization. The resident, with complex medical conditions, had elevated blood pressure that was not adequately addressed or documented. A gap in monitoring and communication between shifts contributed to the deficiency.
A facility failed to conduct a medication self-administration assessment for a resident with severe cognitive impairment, leading to a deficiency. The resident had personal items, including Visine eye drops and B & C Ointment, on her nightstand without physician orders or evaluations. The resident's daughter confirmed she brought the eye drops and administered them during visits. The RN and DON acknowledged the lack of assessment and orders, which are required by facility policy.
Failure to Monitor and Document Resident's Condition
Penalty
Summary
Nurses at the facility failed to adhere to physician's orders and did not monitor a resident's condition changes in a timely manner. The resident, a male with multiple complex medical conditions including hemiplegia, aphasia, end-stage kidney disease, and coronary artery disease, was admitted to the facility and later re-hospitalized. His care plan required close monitoring for cardiovascular complications and side effects from hemodialysis. However, on one occasion, the resident's elevated blood pressure was not adequately addressed, and the necessary medication was not documented as administered. The incident involved a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who received an order for Clonidine to manage the resident's high blood pressure but failed to document its administration. The resident's blood pressure was recorded as elevated, but there was a significant gap in monitoring, with no subsequent readings documented for approximately 12 hours. This lapse in monitoring and documentation led to the resident requiring emergency transport to the hospital from the dialysis center. Interviews with staff revealed that there was a lack of communication between shifts, and the Change of Condition evaluation was not completed as expected. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the failure to document the administration of medication and the lack of a policy for change in condition. The facility's assessment indicated that they provided care for residents with complex medical needs, yet the necessary protocols were not followed in this instance.
Failure to Conduct Medication Self-Administration Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a medication self-administration assessment for a resident, leading to a deficiency in ensuring the safety of self-administered medications. The resident, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including severe cognitive impairment, was observed with personal items on her nightstand, including Visine eye drops and B & C Ointment, which were not prescribed or evaluated for self-administration. The resident's daughter confirmed she brought the eye drops to the facility and administered them during her visits, as her mother had used them at home. The assigned RN acknowledged the presence of the medications and confirmed there were no physician orders or self-administration evaluations for them. The Director of Nursing stated that the Interdisciplinary Team should conduct a self-administration assessment to ensure safety, and acknowledged that the resident would not be safe to self-administer medications due to her severe cognitive impairment. The facility's policy requires an IDT evaluation and physician order before a resident can self-administer medications, which was not followed in this case.
