hemiparesis ( weakness on one side of the body) following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting
right non-dominant side.During a review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE] under Section C, a brief
interview for mental status (BIMS) was performed and resulted in a summary score of 8/15 . A BIMS score
of 8 indicated moderate problems with thinking and memory (moderate cognitive impairment).During an
interview and record review with the Social Services Assistant (SSA) on 9/10/25 at 10:00 a.m., the SSA
stated Resident 2's baseline care plan was not available due to the resident's length of time in the facility.
SSA would attempt to have the documents located.During a review of Resident 4's admission Record (AR),
printed 9/10/25 , indicated, Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
end stage renal disease (where the kidneys have permanently lost most of their ability to function.During a
review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE] under Section C, a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) as

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 25 sampled residents (Resident
29 and 87)'s Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment used to plan care) assessment reflected accurate
information when the following was noted: 1.Resident 29's MDS assessment inaccurately indicated use of
antianxiety medications (chemical agents used to treat anxiety disorder), when Resident 29 was not taking
any.2. Resident 87's discharge MDS assessment inaccurately indicated Resident 87 was discharged to an
acute care hospital, when Resident 87 went home. This failure resulted in inaccurate reflection of Resident
29's clinical status and discharge disposition for Resident 87. 1. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 10:15
a.m., Resident 29 was sitting up in her bed. Resident 29 stated she was paralyzed from her waist down and
had adapted to do her self care with both arms. Resident 29 stated she enjoyed spending time with her

29's clinical record including MDS assessment dated [DATE], and Medication Administration Record dated
7/2025 were reviewed. MDSC 1 stated around 7/23/25, Resident 29 reported having anxiety, restlessness,
lack of sleep to facility staff and stated that she was experiencing these symptoms for a month but did not
tell anyone. MDSC 1 stated facility reported above to Resident 29's physician, who prescribed Hydroxyzine
(antihistamine, a medication that is usually used to treat allergy symptoms). MDSC 1 stated Resident 29
was prescribed to take one tablet of Hydroxyzine 25 milligrams (mg) by mouth as needed for anxiety,
restlessness for five days at bedtime and she received it from 7/23/25 through 7/27/25. MDSC 1 stated
Resident 29's MDS assessment dated [DATE], hence indicated that she was taking Antianxiety medications
within the seven (7) days look back period. MDSC 1 stated she checked drug classification for Hydroxyzine
under Order Entry where it indicated Hydroxyzine HCl was an antianxiety agent. When asked if facility used
an approved Drug book as a reference, MDSC 1 stated she would get back shortly. Resident 29's MDS
assessment section N-Medications, under section N0415 indicated, check if the resident is taking any
medications by pharmacological classification, not how it is used, during the last 7 days or since
admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days.
During an interview and record review on 9/9/25 at 3:30 p.m. with MDSC 1, facility's drug book titled
Nursing Drug Handbook updated as of 2024 was reviewed. MDSC 1 stated on page 1238, the drug book

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure three of 20 sampled residents
(Resident 75, 76, and 77) had physician orders followed promptly. This failure resulted in Resident 77 not
being treated for promptly for pitting edema (swollen part of the body due to excess watery fluid that dimple
or pit up to four millimeters when it's pressed for a few seconds) on both lower extremities. This failure
resulted in Resident 77 feeling tightness and pain in both legs and frustration. It had the potential for
Resident 77's both legs' edema to get worsened and to suffer from edema related complications such as
fluid overload (a medical condition with excessive accumulation of fluids in the body's tissue and organs).
This failure to follow physician orders resulted in Resident 75 and 76 not having their weight and/or
nutritional intake monitored, which had the potential to result in inaccurate treatment and/or monitoring.
During a review of Resident 77's record, admission Record printed on 9/9/25, the record showed Resident
77 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Some
During a record review of Resident 77's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct care)
dated 7/5/25, indicated Resident 77 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15,
indicating intact mental status.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 09/08/25 at 9:00 a.m., Resident 77 was sitting on the
edge of his bed. Resident 77 stated he had swelling in both legs, no one had been treating it, it's painful
and made him feel frustrated and uncomfortable. Resident 77 had grey colored loose fitted nonskid socks
on both feet.
During an observation on 09/09/25 at 12:35 p.m., Resident 77 was sitting in a wheelchair in his room, with
non-skid socks on.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/9/25 at 10:51a.m., with MDS Coordinator (MDSC, a
licensed nurse who completes residents' assessment), Resident 77's was lying in his bed with nonskid
socks on. MDSC removed Resident 77's socks and stated Resident 77 had 3+ pitting edema (when
pressed the dimple was about three millimeters deep) on right lower leg and 2+ pitting edema with a dimple
of two millimeters) on left lower leg. MDSC stated she assisted Resident 77 to put the nonskid socks back
on.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/9/25 at 11:45 a.m., with MDSC, Resident 77's
electronic health record including physician orders dated 9/2025 were reviewed. MDSC stated the orders
indicated to monitor Resident 77's edema in both lower extremities and to apply compression stockings
(are medical devices that apply graduated pressure to the legs to improve circulation and reduce swelling)
on both lower extremities during the day, removed at bedtime.
During an interview, 09/10/25 at 1:33 p.m. Director of Nursing(DON) stated having edema for long time puts
the resident at risk for fluid overload and related complications such as heart failure. The DON stated
nurses were responsible to put compression stockings on Resident 77's lower extremities.
During the review of the facility Policy and Procedures (P&P) title, Edema Management dated July 2025,
the P&P showed, it is our facility policy to ensure that residents with edema are assessed , monitored, and

physician orders for Resident 76, dated 6/5/25 and 2/27/25, and facility's document titled Weights and Vitals
Summary, dated 6/1/25 – 6/30/25, were reviewed. DON stated the documents indicate on 2/27/25,
Medical Doctor (MD1) ordered to weigh Resident 76 every week. DON stated on 6/5/25, MD1 ordered to
re-weigh Resident 76 to confirm weight gain. (See F842). DON stated the Weights and Vitals Summary
shows that Resident 76 was weighed on 6/3/25 and not weighed again until 6/17/25. DON stated the order
to reweigh the patient on 6/5/25 was not followed until 6/17/25 and this is not a reasonable time frame for
the order to be followed. DON stated the risk of not repeating a weight for 12 days after it was ordered is
that there is a potential risk for inaccurate nutrition evaluation.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 9/11/25 at 1:19 pm with DON, physician order for
Nepro (a nutritional supplement) 8 oz one time a day, monitor % intake dated 1/23/25 and Medication
Administration Record (MAR, a document where medication and supplement administration are recorded),
dated January 2025, February 2025, and March 2025, for Resident 76 were reviewed. DON stated the
order to monitor Resident 76's intake of Nepro was not followed between 1/23/25 to 3/6/25. DON stated the
risk of not recording intake is that the facility would not know how much Nepro resident is consuming, and
the lack of knowledge means they would not know how to address.
During a review of facility's document titled, admission Record, dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75, the
admission Record indicated Resident 75 is a [AGE] year old woman initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with multiple diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (when lungs cannot provide enough
oxygen to the blood), unspecified protein calorie malnutrition, and muscle weakness.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/12/25 at 9:51 a.m. with DON, physician orders dated
1/29/25 and facility's document titled Weights and Vitals Summary dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75 were
reviewed. DON stated the documents indicated that on 1/29/25, MD1 ordered that Resident 75 should be
weighed weekly. DON stated weights were checked on 9/9/25, 9/3/25, and 8/18/25 and there was a 16-day
gap in between the weights performed on 9/3/25 and 8/18/25. DON stated that the risk of not checking the
residents weight weekly is not providing information to monitor the resident and to not be able to monitor for
weight loss and status. (See F692)

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 ensure that residents maintained adequate
nutrition status in accordance with professional standards of practice and resident preferences for 2 out of
20 sampled residents (Resident 75 and 6).This deficient practice had the potential to result in unrecognized
weight loss, inaccurate assessment of nutritional status, and failure to meet resident's dietary needs and
preferences, placing residents at risk for avoidable weight loss and decline.During a review of facility's
document titled, admission Record, dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75, the admission Record indicated
Resident 75 is a [AGE] year old woman initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses
including acute respiratory failure (when lungs cannot provide enough oxygen to the blood), unspecified
protein calorie malnutrition, and muscle weakness. During a review of Resident 75's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated 7/12/25, the document indicated Resident
75's BIMS ( an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and
judgement status of the resident) was 15/15. A BIMS score of 15 indicated short and long-term memory
was intact and the resident had decision-making capacity.During an interview on 9/10/25 at 12:40 p.m. with
Resident 75, Resident 75 stated she is given a supplement called Nepro (a nutritional shake), but she
doesn't like it. Resident 75 stated it is hard to drink things she doesn't enjoy. Resident 75 stated she
requested Glucerna (a different type of nutritional shake) instead. Resident 75 also stated she has been
asking for chocolate pudding instead of yogurt. Resident 75 stated she is frustrated by her weight loss and
states she is trying to gain weight so that she can have surgery to reverse her colostomy. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 12:48 with Dietary Manager (DM), facility's documents
titled progress notes dated 9/3/25 and 9/9/25 were reviewed. DM stated the documents indicate that on
9/3/25 and 9/9/25, Resident 75 requested chocolate pudding instead of yogurt. DM stated on 9/3/25 when
Resident 75 requested chocolate pudding, the nurse should have sent a diet order communication slip to
the kitchen. DM stated that the request for chocolate pudding was not received by the kitchen until 9/9/25.
During an interview on 9/10/25 at 13:00 with Registered Dietician (RD), RD stated that dietary preferences
should be honored, as they are trying to encourage Resident 75 to eat. During an interview and concurrent
record review on 9/10/25 at 12:48 p.m. with RD, facility's document's titled progress notes dated 8/6/25 for
Resident 75 was reviewed. RD stated she wrote the progress note on 8/6/25 and she recommended
switching Resident 75 from Glucerna to Nepro. RD stated there is no note after 8/6/25 on if Resident 75
liked Nepro and she will see Resident 75 today. During a record review of facility's documents titled
progress notes, dated 9/10/25, for Resident 75, RD wrote a progress note on 9/10/25 at 2:45 p.m. The
progress note indicated Resident 75 lost 8.4 pounds in 7 weeks due to not eating and drinking enough. The
note indicated that Resident 75 prefers Glucerna instead of Nepro. In the progress note, RD recommended
changing Resident 75's supplement to Glucerna.During a concurrent interview and record review on
9/12/25 at 9:51 a.m. with DON, physician orders dated 1/29/25 and facility's document titled Weights and
Vitals Summary dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75 were reviewed. DON stated the documents indicated that on
1/29/25, MD1 ordered that Resident 75 should be weighed weekly. DON stated there was a 16-day gap in
between Resident 75's weights being checked between 8/18/25 and 9/3/25. During a review of facility's

(DM) of Resident 6's lunch tray and diet order slip (a piece of paper indicating resident allergies,
preferences, and items of food they receive), DM observed two Chobani Greek yogurts with peaches and a
vanilla magic cup ice cream on Resident 6's lunch tray. DM stated the diet order slip indicated Resident 6
was allergic to milk and stated .Notes: do not give milk or dairy products. DM stated the yogurt and ice
cream given to Resident 6 are dairy products and they were given because of resident preference. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 12:48 p.m. with RD, the diet order for Resident 6 was
reviewed. RD stated the diet order indicated that Resident 6 is allergic to milk and the document stated do
not give milk or dairy products. RD stated that Resident 6 is not allergic to milk. RD stated this could create
confusion and the diet order should be corrected. (See F842)

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure least restrictive alternatives were
attempted for a reasonable amount of time, prior to installing bedrails (adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars
attached to the bed) for one of one samples residents (Resident 70) upon admission to the facility. This
failure placed the Resident 70 at risk for injury, entrapment, psychosocial harm, up to and including
death.During a review of Resident 70's admission Record printed on 9/10/25, the record indicated Resident
70 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 70's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment used to plan care) assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated Resident 70's Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was six out of 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The
assessment indicated Resident 70 had impairment in range of motion on both sides of her extremities and
was dependent upon staff for activities of daily living, indicating Resident 70 had minimal strength to use
her arms. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 11:25 a.m., Resident 70 was lying in her bed, with bedrails up
on both sides of her bed. Both bedrails were padded with blue colored fabric cushion. During an
observation on 9/8/25 at 12:13 a.m., Resident 70 was sitting up in the bed with the back of the bed raised,
eating her lunch. Both bedrails were raised at the time. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 3 on 9/11/25 at 1:17 p.m., CNA 3 stated that she has been working in the facility for one year. CNA 3
stated Resident 70's bedrails were used because she was at risk for falls. CNA 3 stated Resident 70 did not
use bedrails to prop herself up in bed. During an interview with CNA 4 on 9/11/25 at 1:28 p.m., CAN 4
stated she had known Resident 70 since her admission to the facility, and bedrails on Resident 70's bed
were being used to avoid her from falling out of bed. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 3:45 p.m. with CNA
2, CNA 2 stated she has been working with Resident 70 since she was admitted to the facility. CNA 2
stated that she did not know why Resident 70's bedrails are raised at all times. CNA 2 stated Resident 70
could pull on the rail for positioning during incontinence care, but it required staff's assistance to place her
hands on the rail. During a phone interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 1 on 9/11/25 at 2:44 p.m., RN 1
stated Resident 70 was usually restless and was often found leaning on the bedrails. RN 1stated bedrails
were always kept in the upright position. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 3:50 p.m. with RN 2, RN 2 stated
the bedrails were kept up on Resident 70's bed as a safety precaution. RN 2 stated that she had not seen
Resident 70 use the bedrails for support. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/11/25 at
2:48 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 70's Physician Orders, dated 8/20/24,
were reviewed. The physician orders indicated Resident 70 may have both 1/4 side rails (bedrails) while in
bed as an enabler for bed mobility and not a restraint. The order was updated on 8/20/25, indicating May
have bilateral 1/4 side rails as enabler for bed motility and position. May have side rail pads to prevent
injury. ADON stated that Resident 70's bedrails were being used to prevent falls. ADON stated that she had
not observed Resident 70 using them for support. ADON stated the risks of installing bedrails placed
Resident 70 at risk for entrapment, injury, or even death. During a Record Review of Resident 70's care
plan for siderail/bedrail use, dated 8/25/25, indicated Resident 70 is at risk for injury related to use of
siderail/bedrail. Resident noted with possible injury to right side of face [manifested by] discoloration
[related to] bedrail use. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/11/25 at 11:47 a.m.,
DON stated Resident 70 had anxiety, restlessness, and frequently laid her head near the rails. DON stated

recently sustained a bluish discoloration from an unknown origin, the care team decided to pad the
bedrails. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 4:06 p.m. with DON, DON stated that Resident 70 needed
bedrails up at all times for mobility purposes. DON stated she thought removing the bedrails would hinder
Resident 70's chances of improved mobility. DON then also stated with the padding on the bedrails,
Resident 70 was no longer able to hold onto the bedrails (at least since 8/20/25). During a concurrent
interview and Record Review on 9/12/25 at 11:06 a.m. with the DON, Resident 70's Electronic Health
Record (HER), including Bed Rail and Entrapment Risk Observation/assessment dated [DATE], and
8/25/25 were reviewed. The assessment dated [DATE], indicated facility used adjustable bed as an
alternative for bedrail on that same day. The assessment dated [DATE], indicated facility used anticipation
of needs, bedside floor mat, and items within reach as alternatives to bedrails. The DON stated however,
she was unable to find any documentation on when and for how long the alternatives were used and if the
alternatives were successful for Resident 70. The HER did not have any information indicating if facility
attempted to remove bedrails for re-evaluation. During a Record Review of facility's Policy and Procedure
(P&P) titled Bed Safety and Bed Rails, dated 8/2022, the P&P indicated staff are required to attempt and
document alternative interventions before using bedrails. Additional safety measures are implemented for
residents who have been identified as having higher than usual risk for injury including bed entrapment
(e.g. altered mental status, restlessness, etc.)

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain procedures to ensure
accurate accountability and replacement of drugs in the emergency intravenous (IV) kit for 1 of 1 kits
reviewed. This deficient practice resulted in the lack of documentation, missing medications, and failure to
follow required procedures for notifying the pharmacy, which placed residents at risk of not having
necessary emergency medications available when needed.During an observation on 09/08/2025 at 11:15
AM of the emergency IV kit, it was noted that the kit was missing normal saline. When asked when the kit
was last opened, LVN 4 stated that typically a form is left inside the kit and faxed to the pharmacy; however,
no such documentation was present. LVN 4 stated she could not determine when the kit had last been
opened.
During an interview 09/08/2025 at 12:00 PM Minimum Data Set Coordinator stated that she found the
Emergency Drug Kit usage slip. She acknowledged that the policy was to change the kits within 72 hours
once they are opened.
A review of the Emergency Drug Kit usage slip dated 08/27/25 at 10:00 AM showed that 0.9% normal
saline was removed for a resident. As of the survey observation on 09/08/25, this indicated the kit had been
opened 12 days earlier. Despite being opened on 08/27/25, the facility failed to replace or properly
document the emergency kit contents in accordance with policy, leaving the kit incomplete and unavailable
for emergency use.
According to facility policy titled 3.4 Emergency Pharmacy Service and Emergency Kits (E-Kits),
emergency pharmaceutical services must be available 24 hours a day through either the facility's approved
emergency kit or by special order from the provider pharmacy. The policy requires that medications in the
E-Kit are kept secure, checked regularly for integrity and expiration dating, and only removed with a valid
prescriber order. Upon removal, staff must document the medication on the emergency kit log, fax or notify
the pharmacy immediately, and reseal the kit until exchange. The policy further directs that opened or used
kits be replaced promptly, with a new seal affixed as required, and that accountability for all items is
maintained through pharmacy notification and proper recordkeeping

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were
administered in accordance with manufacturer instructions and accepted standards of clinical practice
observed during medication pass. These failures included the administration of an expired inhaler and
improper inhaler technique and potentially contaminating a syringe of Lispro prior to administration. As a
result, 2 medication errors were identified out of 25 opportunities, resulting in a medication error rate of 8%.
This placed residents at risk of reduced potency, diminished therapeutic benefit, and compromised clinical
outcomes.1. During an observation on 09/08/2025 at 10:07 AM of medication administration by LVN 4 to
Resident 79, LVN 4 administered Breo Ellipta inhaler, but failed to instruct the resident to fully exhale prior
to inhaling the dose.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview after the medication pass on 09/08/225 at 10:20 AM, LVN 4 acknowledged that she had
not instructed the resident to exhale before using the inhaler. She further stated she was unaware that Breo
Ellipta inhalers expire six weeks after opening and admitted she had administered the expired inhaler
without realizing it. The nurse reported she would check the other inhalers and be more careful in the
future.
According to the Breo Ellipta manufacturer's instructions, patients must exhale completely before inhalation
to ensure medication reaches the lungs effectively. Resident 79 was not provided this instruction, resulting
in a medication error.
2. Review of the Breo Ellipta inhaler label revealed it was opened on 07/26/2025 and expired six weeks
later on 09/06/2025 per manufacturer guidance. On 09/08/2025, LVN 4 administered the inhaler beyond its
expiration date. Administration of expired medication constituted an additional medication error and placed
Resident 79 at risk of reduced potency and therapeutic effect.
3. During a medication pass observation on 09/09/25 at 8:15 AM, RN 2 was observed drawing up Lispro
insulin into a syringe at the medication cart. Prior to administering the injection to Resident 93, RN 2 placed
the uncapped insulin syringe directly onto the resident's overbed table. This same surface was observed to
hold personal food items and beverages during the survey. The syringe remained in direct contact with the
table for approximately 20 seconds before the nurse picked it up and administered the dose.
During an interview on 09/09/25 at 8:20 AM, RN 2 stated, she did leave the syringe on the table. She also
stated that she had forgotten and should not have left it for a short period of time on the table. She
acknowledged that it was inappropriate because of potential contamination of the syringe.
According to the safe injection practices of the CDC guidelines,
(https://www.cdc.gov/injection-safety/hcp/clinical-safety/index.html). This guidance establishes that
medications must be prepared and handled in environments that protect them from contamination. Once a
syringe is prepared, it should remain in a clean, controlled space and be administered promptly. Placing a
prefilled syringe on a side table introduces a direct risk of contamination because such surfaces are
frequently touched, not disinfected between uses, and cannot be considered sterile. Doing so compromises
the sterility of the medication and places the resident at risk for infection, violating accepted standards of
practice for safe injection and medication administration.

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 labeled
and stored in accordance with accepted professional principles and manufacturer instructions for 3 of 4
medication carts observed. This deficient practice resulted in the presence of unidentifiable medications,
expired drugs, and opened medications without required dating, which placed residents at risk of receiving
unsafe or ineffective therapy.During a medication storage observation on 09/08/2025 at 11:00 AM, cart
number 4, was reviewed. Multiple unidentifiable loose pills were observed in the cart. When asked if she
was aware of what these pills were, LVN 4 stated she did not know and confirmed they should not have
been present in the cart.
During an interview on 09/082025 at 11:00 AM LVN 4 stated that she did not know what the loose pills were
and she acknowledged that they should be removed because they were unidentifiable.
A review on 09/09/2025 of the facility's Medication Labeling and Storage Policy revision date 02/2023
requires that medications be stored in the packaging or containers in which they are received and prohibits
transferring medications between containers, yet this standard was not maintained.
2.During a medication storage observation on 09/08/2025 at 11:00 AM, cart number 4, was reviewed, a
Breo Ellipta inhaler was observed in the cart that had expired on 09/06/2025, two days prior to the
observation.
During an interview on 09/082025 at 11:00 AM LVN 4 stated that she did not know the Breo Ellipta was
expired. She said she did not know to check the open date and to calculate the expiration date. She also
stated that it was a confusing process.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, facility failed to maintain accurate and complete medical records for four
(Residents 6, 7, 75, and 76) out of twenty sampled residents. This deficient practice had the potential to
cause inaccurate assessments of nutritional status, inappropriate care planning and unnecessary dietary
restrictions, which could place residents at risk for unmet needs or avoidable decline.
During a review of facility's document titled, admission Record, dated 9/12/25 for Resident 6, the admission
Record indicated Resident 6 is a [AGE] year old woman initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
multiple diagnoses, including unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition that occurs when an
individual does not consume enough protein and calories to meet their nutritional needs), hypertension
(high blood pressure), multiple sclerosis (a chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord characterized by
changes in sensation, visual problems, weakness, depression, difficulties with coordination and speech,
and impaired mobility and disability).
During an interview and concurrent observation on 9/10/25 at 12:35 pm with Dietary Manager (DM), DM
observed two Chobani Greek yogurts with peaches and a vanilla magic cup (sugar-free) on Resident 6's
tray. DM observed a diet order slip on Resident 6's tray that indicated Resident 6 was allergic to milk and
under notes stated do not give milk or dairy products. DM stated the yogurt and ice cream are dairy
products, and they are given because of resident preference.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 12:48 p.m. with the Registered Dietician
(RD), the diet order for Resident 6 was reviewed. RD stated the document indicated that Resident 6 is
allergic to milk and the document stated do not give milk or dairy products. RD stated that Resident 6 is not
allergic to milk. RD stated this could create confusion and it should be removed.
During a review of facility's document titled, admission Record, dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75, the
admission Record indicated Resident 75 is a [AGE] year old woman initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with multiple diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (when lungs cannot provide enough
oxygen to the blood), unspecified protein calorie malnutrition, and muscle weakness.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/11/25 at 12:55 p.m. with DON, facility's documents
titled Nursing Weekly Summary dated 9/8/25, 9/1/25, and 8/26/25 for Resident 75 were reviewed. DON
stated the weekly summaries state that Resident 75 ate 100% of her meals.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/11/25 at 1:01 pm with DON, facility worksheets titled
amount eaten dated September 2025 and August 2025 were reviewed. DON stated the worksheets show
that the resident intake was not 100%. DON stated September 2025 amount eaten worksheet shows
Resident 75 refused 10 meals in the past two weeks. DON stated in August 2025 the amount eaten
worksheet indicated Resident 75 did not eat 100% of meals. (See F692)
During a record review of facility's document titled, admission Record, dated 9/11/25, the admission Record
indicated Resident 76 is a [AGE] year old man initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple
diagnoses including unspecified protein calorie malnutrition and chronic kidney disease, stage 5 (also
called end-stage renal disease, when kidneys have lost almost all ability to filter waste and fluids from the
blood).

Hemodialysis Communication Observation/Assessment dated 6/3/25 were reviewed. DON stated the
Dialysis Center document indicated on 6/3/25, the resident weight was 57.5 kg, which is 126.7 lbs. DON
stated the weight entered by the RN on 6/3/25 was 149 lbs and this weight was incorrect. DON stated
inaccurate weights should be reevaluated and struck out because if the weight is inaccurate, we should
re-weight to make sure the weight is accurate. DON stated the risk of the weight not being accurate could
affect the plan of care.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/11/25 at 1:19 p.m., with DON, facility's documents
titled Nursing Weekly Summary dated 9/10/25 were reviewed. DON stated the weekly summary indicated

titled amount eaten, dated September 2025 was reviewed. DON stated the documents indicate Resident 76
did not eat 100% of his meals. DON stated the amount eaten document between 9/3/25 – 9/10/25
shows that Resident 76 refused meals eight times. The document indicated between 9/3/25 –
9/10/25, Resident 76 ate 75-100% of his meals four times. DON stated the risk to not accurately recording

F 0880
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain infection prevention and
control practices during a medication administration for 1 of 1 residents (Resident 93) when RN 2 prepared
Lispro Subcutaneous injection and left it on an uncleaned overbed table. This failure had the potential to
expose residents to contamination and increased risk of infection.During a medication pass observation on
09/09/25 at 8:15 AM, RN 2 was observed drawing up Lispro insulin into a syringe at the medication cart.
Prior to administering the injection, RN 2 placed the uncapped insulin syringe directly onto Resident 93's
overbed table. This surface was observed at other times during the survey to hold personal food items and
beverages. The syringe remained in contact with the table for approximately 20 seconds before the nurse
picked it up and administered the dose.
Residents Affected - Few
When interviewed on 09/09/25 at 8:20 AM, RN 2 stated, Yes, I did leave the syringe on the table. I forgot,
and I should not have left it there, even for a short period of time. She further acknowledged the action was
inappropriate because of the potential contamination of the syringe.
According to the safe injection practices of the CDC guidelines,
(https://www.cdc.gov/injection-safety/hcp/clinical-safety/index.html). This guidance establishes that
medications must be prepared and handled in environments that protect them from contamination. Once a
syringe is prepared, it should remain in a clean, controlled space and be administered promptly. Placing a
prefilled syringe on a side table introduces a direct risk of contamination because such surfaces are
frequently touched, not disinfected between uses, and cannot be considered sterile. Doing so compromises
the sterility of the medication and places the resident at risk for infection, violating accepted standards of
practice for safe injection and medication administration.
