F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), abnormalities with gait and mobility, and muscle weakness. Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated Resident 1 had two unwitnessed falls on 11/1/19 and 1/24/2020. Review of Resident 1's fall care plans, on 5/13/19, indicated an intervention of follow facility fall protocol. Her fall care plan initiated on 1/25/2020, the interventions included monitor/document/report as needed for 72 hours to the doctor for signs and symptoms of pain, bruises, change in mental status, new onset of confusion, sleepiness, inability to maintain posture, agitation, and perform neurological checks. During an interview and record review with the DON on 2/10/2020 at 2:04 p.m., she stated neurological checks were included in the facility's fall protocol. She further stated neurological checks were computer generated. During an interview and record review with registered nurse C (RN C) on 2/11/2020 at 9:14 a.m., she stated when a resident had an unwitnessed fall, the nurses should perform neurological checks. She further stated some nurses follow the hard copy neurological assessment for frequency of assessments and others use the triggers of the computer system. RN C stated the computer system did not triggered assessments as frequently and timely as the hard copy's neurological assessment required. During an interview with the regional nurse consultant on 2/11/19 on 1:29 p.m., she stated the computer system was not triggering neurological assessments the way it's supposed to. Neurological checks should have triggered more frequently with the correct timing. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure dated 10/19/17, Comprehensive Care Planning Policy, indicated the community must develop and implement an individual, written, comprehensive person centered care plan for each resident Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow post fall assessments for three out of eight residents (1, 3, 12) when neurological checks (are used to assess an individuals neurological functions and level of consciousness in order to determine whether or not individual is functioning properly and reacting appropriately) were not followed per facility protocol. This failure put residents' health and safety at risk.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe sanitary practice in the kitchen when an expired sanitizing strips were used during testing of dishwashing solution. This failure could potentially result to food borne illness to residents. Findings: During the initial kitchen tour on 2/10/2020 at 7:55 a.m. with the director of dining services (DDS), a dietary staff (DS) tested the dishwashing solution using Hydrion Quarternary Test paper (a test strip used to measure the concentration of sanitizer solutions). DS dipped the test strip for ten seconds and had an acceptable result. During a concurrent observation and interview with the DDS on the same date at 8:06 a.m., he stated DS did the procedure correctly. However, during the inspection of the sanitizing kit, the dishwashing test trip had an expiration date of 1/30/19. The DDS immediately removed the expired test strip and secured a new set of test strips. The DDS stated they should follow manufacturer's guidelines and use the test strips that were not expired. Review of facility's undated literature,Hydrion Quarternary Test Paper, indicated it should meet federal, state and local health regulations required to have appropriate test kits available to verify the strength of sanitizer solutions. Review of Food Code 2017- (4-501.116) Ware Washing Equipment, Determining Chemical Sanitizer Concentration indicated concentration of the sanitizing shall be accurately determined by using a test kit or other device.
