dysfunction. Chronic conditions or diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, anemia, osteoarthritis, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, bladder incontinence, dementia, and chronic pain are frequent comorbidities that increase the risk of falls. Patient care plans should reect the interventions put in place to help prevent falls such as frequent toileting, non-skid footwear, keeping personal items within reach on the bedside table, and having assistive devices close at hand.
According to the AMDA The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Medicine clinical practice guideline on falls [7], it is important to document a fall risk assess- ment for each patient, and to discuss those risks at the care plan conference. After a fall, a huddle should occur in which the possible factors contributing to the fall are reviewed. The guidelines state that a “multicomponent intervention by a multidisci­plinary team may reduce the number of falls and the number of fallers in the long term care setting.”
When performing the Physical Examination, it is important to assess gait, bal­ance, mobility, lower extremity joint stability, muscle strength, and overall func­tion. The neurologic exam should include an evaluation of cognition, peripheral proprioception, reexes, cortical and extrapyramidal and cerebellar function, and muscle strength of the lower extremities. Cardiovascular assessment should include heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, orthostatic blood pressure, and peripheral pulses. Test visual acuity and check feet and footwear. The Functional Assessment should include an assessment of ADLs and adaptive equipment including mobility aids. Query on the fear of falling and any self-imposed limitations due to that fear. An Environmental Assessment should be done to check for lighting, obstacles, uneven surfaces, and other hazards, especially in community dwelling older adults. Specic tests that may be useful include the “get up and go” test [8], the “func­tional reach test” [9], the “Berg balance test” [10], and the “POMA-performance oriented mobility assessment” [11]. Carotid sinus massage-induced bradycardia may also be diagnostic in patients with repeated falls of unknown etiology.
Recommendations to decrease fall risk include:
• Exercise programs to maintain strength and mobility and decrease risk of falls.
Yoga, Tai Chi, and weight-bearing exercises are most helpful.
• Supplement residents with at least 800IU of vitamin D daily for those with vita-
min D deciency and/or impaired balance. Patients who have vitamin D levels
less than 20 ng/mL may have a decreased fall risk with vitamin D
supplementation.
• Consider dose reduction of medications that can cause orthostasis or increase
risk of falls (psychotropic medications particularly benzodiazepines, sedatives,
and anxiolytics) or use of multiple antihypertensives (see Chapter “Medication
Management in Long-Term Care” for further discussion), and opioids.
• Consider treatment of osteoporosis in residents who can tolerate pharmacologic
therapy and have a life expectancy of 5–10years, particularly for those who have
had a prior wrist, vertebral or hip fracture(s).
• Residents with cognitive impairment may be impulsive and unable to remember
information taught on fall prevention. Frequent monitoring and regular toileting
may decrease but not eliminate their risk of falls.

Bed and chair alarms do not prevent falls; they only alert staff to a resident who is trying to stand or get out of bed. Most nursing facilities are now alarm free. Restraints should be avoided at all times (both chemical and physical) because they neither prevent falls nor injury and instead increase falls and injuries! The use of side rails is controversial, with double rails considered a restraint. Many side rail injuries are linked to older beds, which allowed entrapment of the patient between the rails and mattress or the side rail and the wall. There is also a great risk that a patient climbing over the side rail and falling from this higher height to the oor can suffer a more severe impact injury than a fall from bed without a rail in place. The efcacy of hip protectors is controversial [12]. There is limited evidence that they are effective and many patients are reluctant to wear them. Putting them on requires extra effort by the nursing staff. Given the high risk of falls and injuries, if a patient is willing to wear hip protectors, consider a trial.
Nursing facilities may have a “fall teams” or a falls protocol to evaluate each fall and to determine what preventive interventions to initiate such as the use of low bed. Input by the practitioner can be vital due to his/her expertise to take into account intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, patient multimorbidities, and to guide the inter­disciplinary term to create an appropriate plan of care to lessen fall risk. Medication
review performed by the practitioner and the facility contract pharmacist can pro­vide critical input to lessen fall risk.
AHRQ has excellent resources to help identify medication that may increase risk of falls as does the Beers criteria. Deprescribing can be helpful in reducing risk [13]. An optimal falls team would include an occupational therapist, physical thera­pist, pharmacist, nurse/nursing assistant, recreation therapist, and either physician or nurse practitioner. Decreasing falls and avoiding major injury is an excellent quality improvement project (PIP) for the IDT team to undertake under Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QA-PI).
Immunizations
Vaccines currently recommended for the elderly include the inuenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, herpes zoster vaccine (Shingrix), tetanus (Tdap) booster, and the COVID-19 vaccine.
Inuenza
Efcacy of the inuenza vaccine varies from year to year, depending upon the strains selected for the vaccine and those strains that infect the population. It is paramount to
vaccinate residents, staff, and visiting family members while discouraging sick visi­tors from coming into the facility during inuenza season. If unvaccinated staff
become ill with inuenza, it can result in the widespread dissemination of the u virus to residents, patients, and other staff, causing absenteeism and increased workload on
188

remaining staff. Inuenza can be a life-threatening illness, so practitioners and staff should be vigilant as to the possibility that an inuenza outbreak has occurred. Some facilities are now mandating u vaccine as a condition of employment unless there is a medical or religious contraindication. Staff vaccination rates of 60–70% may decrease the likelihood of an outbreak in the facility among patients and staff.
The facility medical director should be notied when an outbreak of inuenza occurs and to decide if and when to provide prophylaxis to all residents in the facil­ity. CDC.gov provides an excellent “Toolkit for Post-Acute and Long-term Care Facilities” that describes all aspects of inuenza prophylaxis and treatment [14].
Vaccination of residents and staff with the trivalent inuenza vaccine should start as soon as the vaccine is available (usually in September or early October). Having standing orders to vaccinate residents and vaccinating all staff unless there is a
medical contraindication or personal choice not to receive the vaccine can increase compliance. For residents, consent can be obtained from the health care power of attorney or guardian if the resident is unable to give informed consent due to inca­pacity or lack of decision-making capacity.
An outbreak in a nursing facility is dened when two residents are sick with u­like symptoms within a 72-h period and one has conrmed Inuenza by viral testing.
When this occurs, all residents should be treated or prophylaxed with either oselta­mivir or zanamivir for 5days. Transit between facility units by staff and residents should be limited. Standard and droplet precautions should be followed for all resi­dents with suspected or conrmed inuenza. To help prevent further spread, dining and activities may need to occur in patient rooms rather than in common areas. Note that amantadine and rimantadine are no longer considered to be effective due to the development of resistance and thus should not be used for treatment or prophylaxis. It is essential to have a policy and procedure at the facility on how to manage an inuenza outbreak including its isolation protocol. The medical director should col­laborate with the infection preventionist in the building to create durable policies and procedures to keep patients, staff, and visitors safe.
Pneumococcus
Currently there are several recommended vaccines to help prevent pneumococcal disease in older adults: the Prevnar 20, Pneumovax 23, Prevnar 15 and the Prevnar 13. Common presentations of pneumococcal disease in older adults are pneumonia, sepsis, and men­ingitis [15]. PCV 13, 15 and 20 are conjugate vaccines and the PPS 23 is a pneumococ­cal polysaccharide vaccine. Current recommendations are on the CDC website and continue to evolve for different age groups. For adults 19–64 years of age, there is a long list of diagnoses such as alcoholism, diabetes, chronic renal failure, that put patients at higher risk for severe pneumococcal disease. These patients should receive the PCV 20 or PCV 15, followed by the PPS 23 in 1 year. All patients over 65 years of
Goals ofCare andPrevention

age are recommended to receive pneumococcal vaccination. They can either receive a dose of PCV 15 followed by PPS 23 in a year, or a one time dose of PCV20.
189
Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
The Herpes Zoster vaccine (Shingrix) has been shown to decrease the risk of shin­gles and post-herpetic neuralgia [17]. This recombinant vaccine is much more effec-
tive than the prior vaccine (Zostavax) and can prevent 90% of herpes zoster and 89% of post-herpetic neuralgia. Shingrix was approved in 2017, and it is effective
in preventing shingles for at least 4years. This vaccination is a two part series, with the second dose being given 2months after the rst dose [16].
Tdap is preventive for tetanus, which can occur in long-term care patients with wounds. It is given as an IM vaccination every 10 years. In addition to preventing tetanus in wounds, it may also prevent pertussis infection which can be serious in older patients.
COVID-19 Vaccination
In 2020 several vaccines to prevent COVID-19 infection were approved. The sci­ence and technology of these vaccines is rapidly evolving; however, they have been very effective in preventing COVID infection in many nursing home and assisted living residents and reducing the severity of illness in the few patients who do become infected after having had a previous COVID-19 vaccination. It has been determined that ongoing boosters will be needed to maintain immunity. Monoclonal antibody treatments are also being utilized to decrease severity and duration of ill­ness and prevent hospitalizations.
Nutrition andVitamin andMineral Supplementation
“We are what we eat,” continues to be true in the LTC setting. There are conse­quences to being underweight and overweight. Being underweight increases risk for infections, pressure ulcers, physical decline, cognitive decline, and death. Malnutrition and dehydration are common in the NF setting, with a recent article identifying the prevalence of malnutrition at about 20% depending on the patient population [17]. Being overweight increases risks of developing metabolic syn­drome, hypertension, diabetes, and the personal need for more physical assistance from staff for daily tasks of living (ADLs).

A nutritional and dietary plan is required for all residents in order to ensure that nutrient and calorie needs are being met. Goals of care are paramount. Resident rights allow patients to decline a prescribed diet and to eat what they choose, even if it compromises their medical condition. This can complicate the treatment of diabetes, CHF, and renal disease, and raise conict between health care providers and the resident/patient. However, the nursing or assisted living facility is their “home” and just like community dwelling persons, residents are entitled to make informed decisions on food preferences. Despite this, care planning requires the facility to set goals for residents in order to achieve adequate nutrition. At times this can be challenging. If the dietician has a goal that the resident needs to lose 10lbs and achieve a hemoglobin A1C of 7% but the patient eats double portions and snacks throughout the day, the listed goals in the care plan may not be realistic. Conversely, if a patient with dysphagia is on a pureed diet with thickened liquids and the patient refuses to eat the prescribed diet, the goal to gain weight may be futile and paradoxically result in weight loss!
Poor dentition can be a barrier to adequate nutrition. Encouraging the nursing staff to provide routine and thorough mouth care is essential. Engaging a dentist with an interest in geriatrics to come to the facility can be invaluable, but also challenging. Some dentists may offer on-site bedside dental care such as cleaning and tooth extrac­tions. Starting a tooth brushing or mouth swabbing program (for patients who are edentulous) will improve oral hygiene and may decrease rates of aspiration pneumonia.
Another common problem is swallowing dysfunction (dysphagia) due presbye­sophagus or neurologic conditions such as Parkinson’s or cerebrovascular disease. Dysphagia can affect the texture of food and liquids that can be tolerated. A visit to the dining room at mealtime to observe how the patient is eating can be very informative. Is staff assistance needed ? How is the food texture and liquid consistency being toler­ated? Such a visit can provide insight into why a resident is losing weight and suggest possible therapeutic interventions. If a resident has advanced dementia and the family chooses comfort care, hand feeding to the best of the staff’s ability is the best option to offer meal with dignity. Choosing Wisely guidelines from AGS and AMDA strongly advise against insertion of feeding tubes in those with dementia (see Chapter “Weight and Nutrition in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care” for further discussion) [18].
The dietician, the speech language therapist, and the pharmacist can be allies in the management of unintended weight loss. The dietician can offer preferred foods after the speech therapist determines which foods and consistency are safe for the patient to eat. The pharmacist can advise which medications may be affecting taste and appetite and suggest a trial of deprescribing.
A diet balanced with protein, carbohydrates, and fats can help residents maintain good health, muscle strength, and mental vigor. Fresh fruit and vegetables, often absent in dietary plans, should be encouraged in order to provide natural nutrients, hydration, and ber. The medical director can encourage the facility administration and dietary to supply more fresh fruit and vegetables on the meal plan as well as healthy snacks between meals. Fruit and vegetable smoothies or pureed fruits may be a good choice for those with dysphagia. Frozen fruits and vegetables can also provide excellent nutritional options if fresh products are not available. If patients

eat a healthy diet, a supplemental multivitamin may not be needed. However, if not eating a balanced diet, a vitamin/mineral supplement may be reasonable.
The most common electrolyte abnormalities in nursing home residents are hypo­kalemia related to diuretics and abnormalities in sodium (either hypo or hypernatre­mia) related to uid balance abnormalities. Avoiding uid restrictions whenever possible and providing uids in between meals can help to avert dehydration. Consider a hydration cart with avored water and other healthy drinks that can be given to residents several times a day. Providing extra uid at the times of medica­tion administration is another option.
Many residents are decient in vitamin D deciency, which has been associated with falls, fractures, musculoskeletal pain, and muscle weakness [19]. Routine test­ing of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels is usually not needed when a vitamin D supple­ment is being given. However, if checked, a level of at least 40–50 is optimal. Different organizations recommend differing doses of vitamin D supplements, ranging from 800IU to 4000IU a day. Residents at highest risk of vitamin D de­ciency include those with dark pigmented skin, obesity, malabsorption, and who take medications that accelerate the breakdown of vitamin D (such as phenytoin and phenobarbital) or bind oral vitamin D (such as cholestyramine). Consider a calcium supplement of 1000–1200mg daily with vitamin D if dietary intake is poor and supplementation is consistent with goals of care. Calcium supplements enhance the benet of vitamin D on bone mineral density; however, calcium supplements can be constipating. If the calcium supplements result in a need for additional laxatives, this may cause a prescribing cascade where the risks outweigh its benets.
Magnesium is often decient, particularly in residents on diuretics or proton pump inhibitors that have been taken for an extended period of time and in those with diabetes mellitus [20]. Oral zinc replacement has been found to be benecial in patients who have zinc deciency and a wound; the optimal amount of supple­mentation and duration of therapy is currently being studied. There seems to be a correlation between adequate zinc levels and cognition and depression [21].
Screening Tests
Screening forOsteoporosis
The US Preventive Services Task Force has not made a specic recommendation about resident screening for osteoporosis in nursing homes. However, it does rec-
ommend consideration of screening in women over age 65. Currently there is inad­equate evidence to recommend screening in men. On the other hand, the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends screening in women over 65 and men over 70 [22]. Screening options may include DEXA scanning of the lumbar spine and hip, quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneum or FRAX risk calculation [23]. Some residents may have already sustained an osteoporotic fracture or have an elevated Dexa T-score greater than −2.5. Life expectancy, prognosis, and clinical judgment
192
may determine which residents would be most appropriate for screening. For many, treatment with bisphosphonates or other agents may be appropriate and tolerated; for others, it is burdensome and inconvenient and has potential adverse side effects such as GERD, osteonecrosis, and atypical fractures. The lag effect for benets needs to be considered; if a patient is at end of life, treatment of osteoporosis should not be prioritized. Residents in assisted living may be more appropriate for screen-
ing than those in a nursing facility.
C. Kuttner
Tuberculosis Screening
Recommendations for tuberculosis screening in nursing homes has changed over the past 10 years due to declines in both active and latent tuberculosis in the USA.Tuberculosis screening of residents is recommended on admission to nursing facilities and for a facility tuberculosis risk assessment. The initial testing should be done with a two-step tuberculin skin test (TST) or an IGRA (interferon gamma release assay) blood test. Many older people are anergic due to immunosenescence and may not respond to skin testing (manifest as a false negative). Symptoms sug­gestive of active or reactivated TB should be aggressively pursued. Fortunately, this situation is infrequent in most US NFs. Many NFs (especially those at low risk) use an annual “symptom screen” rather than repeating the TST every year. It is no lon­ger recommended to do a TB skin test or an IGRA test yearly if the incidence of tuberculosis is low in the facility.
Cancer Screening
Cancer screening of residents in NFs and assisted living may be reasonable if con­sistent with residents’ goals of care. Depending on the age, prognosis, and physical/ cognitive function of the patient, decisions about whether or not to screen should be made in concert with the patient/family.
Cervical Cancer screening should rarely if ever be needed and Breast Cancer screening can be considered if the patient is able to participate in mammography;
however, many nursing home residents are unable to stand and be properly posi­tioned for a mammogram. Some may be unwilling to undergo surgery and potential radiation and chemotherapy if a cancer is found. Physical exam can detect most signicant breast cancers in elderly residents. Workup and treatment of any breast mass should be discussed with the patient/family. Periodic clinical breast exams by the practitioner are prudent and reasonable if the resident provides consent. Consider mammograms for residents in assisted living.
Colon cancer screening is not recommended over the age of 75 by the USPSTF, and should only be undertaken if the patient is willing and able to undergo major surgery.

Screening for lung cancer with low dose CT scan is limited to select patient populations who are under the age of 75 and have smoked at least 40 pack years and would be willing/able to undergo treatment if cancer is found. This CT screening recommendation was intended for otherwise healthy patients in the community; not
for frail elderly in a nursing facility.
Prostate Cancer screening with PSA testing is NOT recommended for most male
residents, as it has no mortality benet and it may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality resulting from diagnostic workup and unnecessary treatment.
AMDA discussed cancer screening in its “Choosing Wisely” campaign. It did not recommend screening for breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer unless life expec­tancy is estimated to be over 10years and stated that for most long-term residents over age 75 the burdens of screening likely outweigh any benets
Exercise
Exercise is a low risk activity with high benet to improve function and prevent physical decline in residents. Exercise has shown to have positive effects on mood and to help maintain physical function in patients with Alzheimer’s dis­ease [24, 25]. The best benets involve an exercise program that includes walk­ing, strength training, balance, and exibility exercise. Unfortunately, not all residents are able to walk, but restorative programs can keep many residents ambulatory for longer than expected. Restorative programs are generally pro­vided by nursing, based on recommendations from rehabilitation therapy and the restorative care coordinator. Exercise programs for people who are wheel­chair-dependent or bedbound are also helpful. Yoga, Tai Chi, and stretching pro­grams have been adapted for those chairbound [26]. Exercise for bedbound patients is more challenging, but less intense programs can be given based on individual needs and capabilities. Exercise combined with music has been shown to be effective in patients with Parkinson’s disease [27]. Further research on best practices is ongoing to avert increased frailty and sarcopenia. Exercise training, particularly resistance/muscle training and weight-bearing are the most effective [28].
Mental exercise is important as well. Depending on the cognitive reserve of the resident, there are opportunities for mental stimulation. Reminiscence, music, sen­sory activities, arts, current events, and visits from family and friends are all impor­tant in maintaining cognitive vitality.
Peals for the Practitioner
• Discuss, revisit, and then document residents’ revised goals of care when a
change in condition occurs.
• Preventive health interventions and treatments are guided by residents’ multi-
morbidities, prognosis, advance directives, and goals of care.
194
C. Kuttner
• Fall prevention should always include a medication review and attempts to dis-
continue medications that potentially increase fall risk.
• Vaccination of residents and staff is vital to maintaining personal health and
preventing outbreaks of infectious disease in the facility.
• Good nutrition is key to the maintenance of physical and cognitive health.
Observation of residents at mealtime may help determine interventions in those
with weight loss.
• Liberal diets are appropriate for most frail older patients. Restrictive diets should
be avoided unless medically necessary. And may cause loss of appetite, refusal
to eat, and weight loss.
• Screening for cancer in asymptomatic residents should be individualized and
generally minimized. But may be more appropriate for residents in assisted liv-
ing who tend to be younger and independent than those in a nursing facility.
• Mental and physical exercise programs improve quality of life of residents;
meeting the exercise needs of individual residents requires thought, teamwork,
and creativity.
