Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Methodist Sepcialty Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with quadriplegia and multiple wounds did not have required dressings in place on both feet, despite physician orders for scheduled and as-needed wound care. Documentation showed wound care was provided on some days, but on observation, no dressings were present and staff could not explain their absence or removal. Leadership confirmed this failure did not meet professional standards of practice.
The facility failed to secure smoking materials safely for a resident with quadriplegia and tobacco use. The resident was found with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in his possession, contrary to the facility's policy that mandates smoking materials be locked in the medication room. This was confirmed by both the resident and a registered nurse, and the Director of Nursing acknowledged the policy violation.
The facility failed to ensure that PRN psychotropic medications had stop dates for two residents. Orders for Xanax and Clonazepam lacked required stop dates, and staff were either unaware or did not enforce the policy.
The facility failed to provide a biohazard container for a resident on droplet isolation with carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa. PPE and other potentially infectious materials were discarded in regular trash, contrary to infection control policies, increasing the risk of infection spread.
Failure to Follow Wound Care Orders and Maintain Dressing Integrity
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident with quadriplegia and multiple wounds did not receive wound care in accordance with physician orders and professional standards. The resident, who was dependent for all activities of daily living and cognitively intact, had specific orders for wound care on both feet, including scheduled dressing changes and as-needed care for soilage or dislodgement. Documentation showed that wound care was provided on certain dates, but on a day when the resident was observed, there were no dressings present on either foot, despite orders requiring them. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and supervision regarding the resident's wound care. The contracted wound care nurses, who worked weekdays, confirmed that dressings should have been in place and could not explain their absence. The RN Supervisor and other nursing staff were unable to account for when or why the dressings were removed or not reapplied, and CNAs were expected to report any issues with dressings to the assigned nurse. However, there was no documentation or staff knowledge of any such report or intervention on the day in question. Facility leadership, including the DON and Administrator, confirmed that the resident should have had dressings in place according to physician orders and acknowledged that the failure to ensure clean, intact, and correctly applied dressings did not meet professional standards of practice. The deficiency was identified through observation, record review, and interviews, which demonstrated a breakdown in communication, supervision, and adherence to wound care protocols for the resident.
Failure to Secure Smoking Materials
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to secure smoking materials in a safe manner for one of two smokers in the facility. Resident #15, who has medical diagnoses including quadriplegia and tobacco use, was observed with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in his possession while sitting in his motorized wheelchair in his room. This was confirmed by both the resident and a registered nurse, who acknowledged that smoking materials should be kept locked at the nurse's desk and not in the possession of the resident. The facility's policy on smoking materials, revised on 3/10/2023, mandates that smoking materials be labeled and locked in the medication room. However, the resident's Safe Smoking assessment inaccurately indicated that the resident did not attempt to keep smoking paraphernalia on himself or in his room. The Director of Nursing confirmed that smoking materials should be stored in the medication room to prevent potential accident hazards.
Failure to Ensure PRN Psychotropic Medications Had Stop Dates
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that as-needed (PRN) psychotropic medications had a stop date for two residents. Resident #27 had an order for Xanax without a stop date, and Resident #33 had an order for Clonazepam without a stop date. Both residents had been on these medications for a long period of time. The facility's policy requires PRN orders for psychotropic drugs to be limited to 14 days unless the attending physician documents a rationale for extending the order. However, this was not done for either resident. Interviews with the facility's Pharmacy Consultant and Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that they were aware of the regulations but had not ensured compliance. The Pharmacy Consultant admitted to not notifying the physician about the requirement for a stop date, and the DON was unaware of the requirement altogether. This oversight led to the deficiency in medication management for the two residents, who had significant medical histories including quadriplegia, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.
Inadequate Infection Control for Resident on Droplet Isolation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent the possible spread of infection by not providing a biohazard container for a resident on transmission-based precautions. The resident, who had carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa in his sputum, was observed to be in droplet isolation. However, the personal protective equipment (PPE) and other potentially infectious materials were being discarded in a regular trash can with a white plastic liner instead of a biohazard container. This was confirmed during an interview with an LPN, who stated that the infection control staff determined the disposal methods and she was unsure why a red biohazard container was not used. Further interviews with the Infection Preventionist and the Director of Nursing revealed a misunderstanding of the facility's infection control policies. The Infection Preventionist stated that only residents with clostridium difficile colitis used a red biohazard trash system, while the Director of Nursing believed that items from a resident with carbapenem-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa could be disposed of in regular trash if there was not a large amount of bodily fluid. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the inner trachea cannula, which contained sputum fluid, had the potential to spread infection and that the regular trash bag had no identifying information to alert others of the infectious waste. This mismanagement of infectious waste disposal increased the potential for the spread of infection within the facility.
