Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Nhc Place Sumner during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with dysphagia, failure to thrive, malnutrition, and severe cognitive impairment was ordered RED meal assist, but the tray card incorrectly listed YELLOW assist. Staff relied on the tray card, so the CNA provided only meal set-up and left the resident eating without ongoing assistance, even though OT, the RN, RD, DON, and Administrator confirmed the resident should have received physical help with meals.
A resident with a left hip hemiarthroplasty and hip dislocation was readmitted with a hip brace, but the chart did not contain a physician order for the brace or an order transcribed to wear it over the resident’s clothes. The hospital discharge summary noted mobilization in a brace, and a handwritten orthopedic order specified how the brace should be worn, but the order was not entered into the EHR or MAR. The ADON, DON, and Administrator all acknowledged the missing order documentation.
Meal Assistance Level Not Followed
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required level of assistance with eating for one resident. The resident had diagnoses including adult failure to thrive, dysphagia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition. A significant change MDS showed a BIMS score of 6, indicating severe cognitive impairment, and the MDS indicated the resident required partial to moderate assistance with eating. The care plan directed staff to set up meals and assist as needed, and occupational therapy documented that the resident required increased assistance with meals by mouth and was changed to RED level assist. Facility policy and meal assist guidelines stated that residents needing physical assistance with meals were to be assigned RED level assist, while YELLOW level assist was for intermittent supervision and verbal cues. The resident’s dietary orders also listed RED level assist. However, the resident’s meal tray card on the unit indicated YELLOW assist instead of RED assist. Staff stated they used the tray card to determine the level of help needed, and the RN, RD, DON, and Administrator all confirmed the tray card did not match the resident’s order and should have reflected RED assist. During observations, the resident was seen eating lunch without staff present in the room. On one occasion, the resident was in bed feeding themself lunch with no staff present. On another occasion, a CNA entered, provided meal set-up, and then left the room, after which the resident was again observed eating with no staff present. Staff interviews showed the CNA believed the resident was YELLOW assist and that YELLOW meant opening items and returning later, while the RN and other leadership staff stated the resident should have been RED assist and that RED required staff to stay with and assist the resident throughout the meal.
Missing Physician Orders for Hip Brace
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure physician orders were obtained and entered into the medical record for Resident #101, who had diagnoses including left hip hemiarthroplasty and left hip arthroplasty dislocation. The resident was admitted and later readmitted with a hip brace, and the hospital discharge summary noted instructions to mobilize in brace. However, the resident’s orders did not contain a physician order for use of the left hip brace, and the record also did not show an order for the brace to be worn over the resident’s clothes. A handwritten order from the orthopedic surgeon stated that the hip brace was to be placed over the resident’s clothes, but this order was not transcribed into the resident’s orders or MAR. The ADON reviewed the record and stated she did not see an order for the hip brace and that the 06/15/2023 order should have been entered into the EHR. The DON stated there was no initial order for the hip brace and that the order to wear it over the clothes should have been entered after the orthopedic appointment. The Administrator stated outside provider orders were expected to be received, placed in the provider box, approved by the facility provider, and then entered into the EHR.
