Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Tishomingo Comm Living Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a history of hypertension experienced multiple elevated blood pressure readings that were not reported to the physician, contrary to facility policy. The DON acknowledged that the nurses failed to monitor and communicate these changes, which could have indicated a clinical complication. The resident expressed concern about his condition, and the physician was unaware of the repeated elevated readings.
A resident with a history of heart failure, diabetes, dementia, hypertension, and falls was transferred to the ER after a fall. The facility failed to notify the resident's representative and the Ombudsman in writing about the emergency transfer. The Medical Records Nurse overlooked the notification due to the resident's brief hospital stay and removal from the transfer list. No written physician's order was documented for the transfer.
A facility failed to develop a care plan for a resident with a history of hypertension, despite the resident's admission diagnosis and recent high blood pressure readings. The MDS RN admitted to not including hypertension in the care plan due to the resident not actively receiving treatment, and the DON confirmed the oversight. The facility's policy requires comprehensive care plans, but this was not followed, resulting in a lack of guidance for staff on managing the resident's condition.
A resident experienced difficulty swallowing a large Amoxicillin pill, which was not initially addressed by the LPN despite the resident's complaints. The facility's policy allowed for medications to be crushed, but this was not considered until observed by surveyors. Interviews confirmed that the LPN had attended training on crushable medications but did not apply this knowledge, and the DON acknowledged alternative options were available.
Failure to Notify Physician of Elevated Blood Pressure
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician of an increase in blood pressure for a resident who was being monitored for hypertension. The facility's policy requires that any significant changes in a resident's condition, such as elevated blood pressure, be reported to the physician. Despite this, the resident's elevated blood pressure readings were not communicated to the physician, which could have indicated a clinical complication. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the nurses did not monitor the blood pressure values closely enough and failed to notify the provider, which was a lapse in the process. The resident, who was admitted with a diagnosis of hypertension, had multiple blood pressure readings over several days that exceeded the facility's defined threshold for hypertension. These elevated readings were not reported to the physician, despite the facility's policy and the resident's medical history. The resident expressed concern about his elevated blood pressure and questioned whether his medications had been adjusted, indicating a lack of communication and follow-up on his condition. The resident's medical doctor was not aware of the repeated elevated blood pressure readings, which could have warranted changes in treatment.
Failure to Notify Resident's Representative and Ombudsman of Emergency Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the resident's representative and the Ombudsman in writing about an emergency transfer to the hospital for one of the residents reviewed for hospitalization. The resident, who had a history of heart failure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dementia, hypertension, and repeated falls, was sent to the emergency room following a fall. Although a verbal order was given by the resident's physician to send her to the ER, there was no written physician's order documented in the facility's system. The resident was briefly hospitalized and returned to the facility within a few hours. The Medical Records Nurse, responsible for notifying the Ombudsman and the resident's representative, failed to send the required notifications. This oversight occurred because the resident's name was inadvertently removed from the transfer list, leading to the omission of the necessary notifications. The facility did not have a policy in place that required written notification to the responsible party and Ombudsman for emergency transfers, contributing to the failure in communication.
Failure to Develop Care Plan for Hypertension
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident with a history of hypertension, which was identified during a review of 19 care plans. The facility's policy mandates that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan with measurable objectives and timetables be developed for each resident to meet their physical, psychosocial, and functional needs. Despite this, the care plan for the resident in question did not include any mention of hypertension, even though the resident had a documented history of the condition and had experienced high blood pressure readings recently. Interviews with the MDS RN and the DON revealed that the omission was due to human error. The MDS RN admitted that she failed to include the diagnosis of hypertension in the care plan because the resident was not actively receiving treatment for it at the time of admission. The DON confirmed that the resident's history of hypertension was not addressed in the care plan, which should have included interventions and parameters for blood pressure monitoring. The resident was admitted with a diagnosis of hypertension, and the MDS assessment indicated that the resident was cognitively intact.
Failure to Address Resident's Difficulty Swallowing Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent a potential accident during medication administration for a resident who had difficulty swallowing a large pill. The resident, who was receiving Amoxicillin for a urinary tract infection, expressed difficulty swallowing the medication, stating it would get stuck in her throat. Despite the resident's complaints, the nurse did not initially offer to split or crush the pill, which could have prevented the risk of choking. The facility's policy allowed for medications to be crushed if safe, but this was not initially considered by the nurse. Interviews with the LPN and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident had previously complained about the size of the pill, but no action was taken to address the issue until it was observed during the survey. The LPN admitted to attending an in-service training on crushable medications but did not apply this knowledge to the resident's situation. The Consultant Pharmacist confirmed that the Amoxicillin could have been crushed, and the DON acknowledged that the nurse could have obtained an order for a liquid form of the medication.
