Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Prairie View Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to establish written policies for Comfort Care/End of Life programs and fall prevention/safe transfer techniques. A resident on the Comfort Cares program was unaware of it, and the program was not discussed in team meetings. Morphine was kept indefinitely for residents without specific guidelines. Additionally, CNAs transferred residents without using gait belts, and the facility lacked policies on these techniques, although staff received annual education.
The facility failed to use gait belts during transfers for two residents, leading to unsafe conditions. One resident, with moderate cognitive deficits, fell and experienced significant pain after being transferred without a gait belt. Another resident, also with cognitive deficits, was transferred using her waistband instead of a gait belt, despite expressing feelings of instability. The facility lacked policies on gait belt use and safe transferring techniques.
A resident with moderate cognitive ability received morphine for neck pain, which was not an approved indication for its use. Despite having other pain management options like Tylenol, these were not utilized. The facility's policy required reporting of drug irregularities, but the ongoing PRN morphine was not referenced in pharmacist reports. The DON stated morphine was kept indefinitely for residents on the Comfort Cares program.
Lack of Policies for Comfort Care and Safe Transfer Techniques
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to establish written policies for resident care regarding the Comfort Care/End of Life program and fall prevention/safe transfer techniques. The facility had eight residents on the End of Life/Comfort Care/Palliative program, including a resident with emphysema and COPD who requested comfort care measures. Despite being on the Comfort Cares program, the resident was unaware of it, and the program was not addressed in Inter Disciplinary Team Meetings. The Director of Nursing (DON) mentioned that morphine was kept on hand indefinitely for residents on the Comfort Cares program, but there were no policies or guidelines for the program. Additionally, the facility lacked policies on gait belt use, fall prevention, or safe transferring techniques. An incident occurred where a CNA transferred a resident from the shower to a wheelchair without using a gait belt, resulting in the resident being lowered to the floor. Another observation noted a CNA assisting a resident into a whirlpool chair without a gait belt, instead holding the resident's waistband. The DON and Administrator confirmed the absence of policies on these techniques, although staff were educated on them during annual meetings. The Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) Policy indicated that fall protocols, policies, and procedures should be in place.
Failure to Use Gait Belts During Resident Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide safe transfer techniques for two residents, leading to incidents where staff did not use a gait belt during transfers. Resident #6, who had moderate cognitive deficits and required substantial assistance with transfers, was transferred from a whirlpool chair to a wheelchair without a gait belt by a CNA. As a result, the resident became weak and fell to the floor, experiencing significant pain. The resident's care plan specifically required the use of a gait belt for transfers, but this was not adhered to by the staff. Similarly, Resident #21, who also had moderate cognitive deficits and required assistance with bathing and transfers, was observed being transferred without a gait belt. The CNA assisting the resident used the resident's waistband instead of a gait belt to help her into the whirlpool chair. Despite the resident's ability to ambulate independently at times, she expressed feeling unsafe on her feet and needing assistance with certain transfers. The facility lacked a policy on gait belt use, safe transferring techniques, or fall prevention, contributing to these deficiencies.
Unnecessary Medication Administration for Pain Management
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's drug regimen was free from unnecessary medication. Resident #23, who had moderate cognitive ability and was independent in certain activities, had a PRN order for morphine for specific indications such as shortness of breath, comfort, end of life, and restlessness. However, on February 20, 2024, staff administered morphine for neck pain, which was not listed as an indication for its use. The resident had other pain management options, including scheduled Tylenol and bio freeze, but these were not utilized in February. The facility's Monthly Drug Regimen Review Policy required the pharmacist to report any irregularities, including unnecessary drug use, to the attending physician. However, the clinical chart did not reference the ongoing PRN morphine in the Monthly Medication Review pharmacist reports. The Director of Nursing stated that morphine was kept on hand indefinitely for residents on the Comfort Cares program, as long as it did not expire, due to cost and complications of obtaining new orders. The resident was unaware of the Comfort Cares program and its services.
