Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans (a
detailed, patient-centered document that summarizes a patient's medical, functional, and psychosocial
needs and goals, outlining the interventions and resources needed to achieve them) for two of 18 residents
(Resident 33 and 9) who's care plans were reviewed, when: 1. Resident 33 had a deep tissue injury (DTI,
localized damage to the skin and tissue caused by pressure on an area for a long time) and there was no
care plan developed.2. Resident 9 was noted to be missing teeth on admission and there was no
oral/dental care plan developed. These failures had the potential to decrease the physical, psychosocial,
and emotional well being of Residents 33 and 9.Findings:
1. A review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive, reviewed August 2024, indicated the
policy statement is A comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives to meet the resident's
physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. It further
indicated at paragraph number 5, subset-e, The comprehensive care plan will: Incorporate identified
problem areas.
A review of Resident 33's clinical record indicated Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included broken right ankle, and cirrhosis of the liver (a liver disease that destroys and scars
liver tissue, which occurs over time and prevents the liver from functioning properly). Resident 33 was
capable of making his own healthcare decisions.
A review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), for Resident 33 dated
8/11/25, indicated that Resident 33 had no cognitive deficit, with a Brief Interview for Mental status (BIMS,
assess a person's ability to think, reason and remember) score of 15 out of 15.
During a concurrent interview and observation on 9/16/25 at 3:31 am, Resident 33 stated that he had fallen
at home and broke his ankle. He stated that he had a cast and that the cast was recently replaced with a
boot. It was observed that the resident had a Controlled Ankle Motion boot (CAM boot - a device designed
to immobilize and support the ankle joint after an injury or surgery) on his right foot.
During an interview on 9/17/25 at 1:11 pm, Resident 33 stated that he had a 'heel issue' on his right heel
that was found the day his cast came off, which he thinks was on 9/9/25.
During a concurrent interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) M and observation on 9/17/25 at 1:35 pm, LN M
was observed doing wound care to Resident 33's right heel DTI. LN M confirmed that Resident 33 had a
deep tissue injury on the right heel.
During a record review of Resident 33's Care Plans initiated on 8/11/25, with a target date of 10/1/25 (a
review of the individual care plans for a resident), the record indicated a Care Plan had not been initiated
for Resident 33's DTI on the right heel.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/18/25 at 12:42 pm, with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 33's care plan was reviewed. The DON confirmed that a Care Plan for Resident 33's DTI
was not initiated. My expectations of the wound care nurse is to note changes in skin and to initiate Care
Plans. The DON further stated that the wound care nurses did not follow policy and

care area was triggered.
During a concurrent interview with the Social Service Director (SSD) and record review on 9/17/25 at 2:41
pm, Resident 9's admission Comprehensive Care Plan was reviewed. SSD stated that she had not
developed an Oral/Dental Care Plan for Resident 9 and she should have due to the fact that Resident 9
only had bottom teeth and no other teeth. SSD stated We usually put in a care plan to watch for sores, and
the goal is to be free from complications

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate
was below 5% for 2 of 6 sampled residents (Resident 40 and Resident 4) when: 1. Registered Nurse (RN)
B did not administer Resident 4's oral inhalation medication as ordered by prescriber.2. RN G administered
Resident 44's medication not in accordance with the standards of practice.As a result, 2 errors were
identified out of 26 opportunities for error during the observation of medication administration; the facility
medication error was 7.69%.Findings:1. During an observation on 9/16/25 at 9:24 am, RN B was observed
to prepare and administer Resident 4's morning medications which did not include a multidose inhaler,
fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol inhalation powder (combination of 3 medications used to
treat shortness of breath), for oral inhalation use.During a reconciliation of the observation of medication
administration with Resident 4's Physician Orders, indicated an order, dated 6/11/25, for fluticasone furoate,
umeclidinium, and vilanterol inhalation powder for oral inhalation to be administered 1 puff inhale orally one
time a day for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, a condition involving constriction of the
airways and difficulty or discomfort in breathing). A review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record
(MAR) indicated a dose of Resident 4's oral inhalation medication was marked given on 9/16/25 at 9
am.During an interview on 9/16/25 at 11:25 am, with RN B, RN B stated, I forgot to give that inhaler. RN B
acknowledged that she had not given the medication even though the MAR was marked given.During an
interview on 9/18/25 at 11:30 am, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, she expected the
nurses to follow the Physician Orders. The nurse should have given resident's oral inhalation in the morning
as prescribed.During a review of the policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications,
reviewed October 2024, the P&P indicated, medications are administered in accordance with prescriber
orders, and are administered within one hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified.2. During
an observation on 9/16/25 at 11:59 am, RN G was observed to prepare and administer Resident 44's noon
insulin, medication used to treat high blood sugar levels. RN G took out a vial of insulin from the medication
cart, shook it vigorously for few seconds, withdrew two units of insulin lispro, and administered two units to
Resident 44.During a reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 44's
Physician Orders, indicated an order, dated 9/15/25, Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 150 = 0 units;151 - 200
= 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 -400 = 10 units, subcutaneously
before meals for Diabetes Mellitus II (a chronic condition where the body does not use insulin effectively or
does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels).A review of Resident 44's MAR indicated a
dose of two units of lispro insulin was administered on 9/16/26 at 12:00 pm.During an interview on 9/16/25
at 3:20 pm, with RN G, RN G stated she shook the insulin vial when she was preparing resident 40's
insulin. RN G acknowledged the insulin was already dissolved and she didn't know why she felt the need to
shake the vial prior to drawing up insulin. According to an online publication by Mayo Clinic, Mayo
foundation for medical information and research (a non-profit, American Academic center focused on
integrated healthcare, education, and research), titled proper use of insulin lispro, last updated August
2025, indicated do not shake the vial.During an interview on 9/18/25 at 11:30 am, with the DON, the DON
stated she expects the nurses to administer all medications according to the professional standards of
practice.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were stored
properly as specified by the manufacturers when the temperature of a medication refrigerator was out of
range below the freezing point.This failure resulted in liquid medications to crystalize and become
ineffective.Findings:During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Storage of Medications,
reviewed October 2024, the P&P indicated, drugs and biologicals are stored in a safe, secure orderly
manner including drugs being stored in locked compartments under proper temperature and light. The
policy did not include the proper temperature range for the pharmaceutical items stored in the
refrigerator.During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/16/25 at
12:24 pm, the temperature of the medication refrigerator in the medication room was 29 F (degree
Fahrenheit: unit of measurement). There were multiple medications in the refrigerator including insulin
(medication used to treat high sugar level) vials. There was visible ice to the back wall of the refrigerator.
The DON verified the refrigerator temperature was 29 F and one insulin vial presenting with crystalline
almost frozen appearance present in the refrigerator. The DON stated the normal temperature range for the
medication refrigerator was 36 F to 46 F. A review of insulin vial's product label, the label indicated, store
refrigerated at 36 F to 46 F. Do not freeze.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain its infection prevention control
program when: 1. One of one resident (Resident 58) sampled for Transmission Based Precautions (TBP)
was suspected to have Clostridium Difficile (c-diff, a bacterium [germ], transmissible infection [easily
spreads to another person], that causes an infection of the colon, the longest part of the large intestine.
Symptoms can range from diarrhea to life-threatening damage to the colon) and no isolation precautions
were initiated as per policy to prevent the spread of disease. This failure had the potential to spread c-diff to
other residents and staff and cause severe illness and decline in health status. 2. One of two residents
(Resident 10's) sampled for tube feedings, had a gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a feeding tube that delivers
nutrition, fluids, and medications directly into the stomach thru a surgical created opening in the abdomen)
Lopez valve (a three way stop cock that fits to the end of the G-tube to create a closed or open system) that
was found to be filled with a dried, brown substance and had not been cleaned. This failure had the
potential to allow bacteria to grow and cause an infection in Resident 10. 3. Blood pressure cuffs were
shared between residents and were not cleaned and disinfected. This failure had the potential to allow the
spread of infection between residents. Findings:
Residents Affected - Few
A review of the facility's policy titled Clostridium Difficile revised October 2024, indicated, Measures are
taken to prevent the occurrence of Clostridium difficile (CDI) infections among residents. Clostridium difficile
infection is suspected in residents with acute, unexplained onset of diarrhea (three or more unformed stools
within 24 hours). The primary reservoirs (places where they live) for c-diff are infected people and surfaces.
Spores can persist on resident -care items and surfaces for several months and are resistant to common
cleaning and disinfection methods.
A review of the facility's policy titled Isolation-Categories of Transmission-Based Precautions revised
October 2024, indicated Transmission-Based Precautions are initiated when a resident develops signs and
symptoms of a transmissible infection: .and is at risk of transmitting the infection to other residents. Contact
Precautions (wearing a gown and gloves upon entering a patient's room to prevent the spread of infection
through direct or indirect contact) may be implemented for resident's known or suspected to be infected
with microorganism (germs) that can be transmitted by direct contact with resident or indirect contact with
environmental surfaces or resident-care items in the resident's environment.
A review of the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) site titled Transmission Based Precautions for health
care providers, dated April 3, 2024, indicated Use contact precautions for patients with known or suspected
infections that represent an increased risk for contact transmission. *Use Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE, includes gowns, gloves, face masks) appropriately, including gloves and gown. Wear a gown and
gloves for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient or the patient's environment. Donning
(putting on) PPE upon room entry and properly discarding before exiting the patients room is done to
contain pathogens [germs].
1. A review of Resident 58's admission record indicated Resident 58 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included fracture of the right upper leg, muscle weakness, diabetes (high sugar in the
blood), depression, anxiety and heart failure. Resident 58 made her own health care decisions.

8/12/25, section H, Bladder and Bowel assessment, indicated that Resident 58 was always incontinent
(unable to control) of her bowels.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 58 on 9/16/25 at 10:01 am, Resident 58 was
lying in bed and stated I am having trouble with my bowels and am having lots of diarrhea today. Resident
58's room was observed and there was no isolation sign on the outside of the door, there was no PPE
equipment outside the door, there was no garbage can near the door to discard potentially contaminated
items.
During a concurrent interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) M and record review on 9/17/25 at 9:31 am,
Resident 58's nursing progress notes were reviewed. LN M said there was a progress note on 9/16/25 at
11:48 am, which noted NP (Family Nurse Practitioner, FNP) gave verbal order for cbc (complete blood
count, a blood test), and for c-diff (a stool test for Clostridium Difficile, a highly transmissible infection in the
stool that causes diarrhea) test. Order noted and carried out. LN M confirmed Resident 58 was being tested
for c-diff.
During an interview with Resident 58 on 9/17/25 at 9:33 am, Resident 58 indicated she was having bad
diarrhea and it started yesterday. Resident 58 said she had 8 episodes of diarrhea yesterday and was still
having some today.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/17/25 at 9:35 am, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) L
confirmed Resident 58 had four episodes of bad smelling liquid diarrhea during her shift on 9/16/25 from
6:00 am, to 2:30 pm, and was still having some today. CNA L said she informed the nurse yesterday. CNA L
was observed going into Resident 58's room. CNA L put on gloves and then proceeded to take off Resident
58's brief (incontinent underwear that absorbs loose stool or urine) to exam her bottom. CNA L replaced
Resident 58's brief, removed her gloves and did hand hygiene. CNA L confirmed that Resident 58 was not
on contact isolation and that there was no isolation sign or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) available
to use except gloves, when giving cares to Resident 58. CNA L confirmed she had not been wearing a
gown when providing care for Resident 58.
During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) on 9/17/25 at 10:00 am, 24 plus hours after the
start of Resident 58's episodes of diarrhea, IP stated that if a resident was suspected to have c-diff and/or
had loose stools we would put that resident on contact isolation right away. IP said that contact isolation
consisted of putting on gowns, gloves, and a face shield outside of the room and putting large trash cans at
the doorways before leaving the room to discard potentially contaminated items. IP stated that this should
be done immediately when someone was suspected of having c-diff. IP indicated that she was unaware of
Resident 58 having diarrhea yesterday and being tested for c-diff. The IP confirmed that Resident 58 should
have been placed on contact isolation yesterday after having multiple loose stools and being tested for
c-diff and she was not.
During an interview with LN D on 9/17/25 at 10:33 am, LN D stated she was informed of Resident 58
having diarrhea on 9/16/25 around noon, and notified the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). LN D stated that
when residents are suspected to have c-diff we are supposed to notify the IP right away and put the
resident on contact isolation. LN D stated that she did not do that because it was a really busy day but she
should have.
During an interview with the FNP on 9/18/25 at 8:42 am, FNP stated that Resident 58 was found not to
have had c-diff but when it was suspected, the facility should have put Resident 58 on contact isolation to
prevent the spread of the disease if she would have had it and they did not.
