Inaccurate Posting of Daily Nurse Staffing Census
C
F0732 F732: Post nurse staffing information every day.
Short Summary

Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Interventions
D
F0689 F689: Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Short Summary

The facility failed to implement and revise fall prevention interventions for two residents, leading to multiple falls. One resident, with dementia and hemiplegia, was not consistently toileted or supervised as per their care plan, resulting in numerous falls. Another resident, cognitively impaired, experienced falls without new interventions being developed. Staff did not adhere to established fall prevention measures, contributing to the ongoing risk of falls.

Short Summary

A facility failed to document a diagnosis and attempt a gradual dose reduction (GDR) for psychotropic medications prescribed to a resident with Alzheimer's, dementia, anxiety, and depression. Despite recommendations from the Consultant Pharmacist, the physician continued the use of Lorazepam and Seroquel without providing a clinical rationale for not attempting a GDR. The Director of Nursing confirmed the lack of evidence for GDR attempts or documented contraindications.
