Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents received treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice as evidenced by:
Residents Affected - Few
-The facility failed to follow the physician's order for notifying the physician when Resident 11's blood
glucose (the main sugar found in the blood, and the body's main source of energy) was over 400 milligrams
(mg)/deciliter (dL), for one (Resident 11) out of five residents.
This deficient practice had the potential for residents to experience medical complications from diabetes (a
long-lasting health condition that affects how the body turns food into energy).
Findings:
A review of Resident 11's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility, on
06/27/2020 and readmitted on [DATE], with a diagnosis that included diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney
disease (damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys caused by poorly controlled diabetes).
A review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 09/08/2021, indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (the mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) and was totally
dependent on staff for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on and off the unit, dressing, eating, toilet use,
and personal hygiene.
A review of the Order Summary Report, dated 09/11/2021, indicated Resident 11 was to receive insulin
Lispro (fast-acting liquid medication injected in the skin that controls blood sugar) solution 100 units/milliliter
(ml), inject as per sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin based on blood glucose level): If 150 - 200 = 2
units, hold if blood sugar (BS) < 60; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 - 400
= 10 units; 401 - 450 = 12 units. The record indicated for facility staff to call medical doctor (MD) if BS
(blood sugar) > 400, subcutaneously (method of injection given in the fatty tissue, just under the skin)
before meals and at bedtime for diabetes mellitus. Administer 30 minutes before meal and at bedtime.
Rotate site.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/08/2021 at 1:39 p.m., the Medical Records Director
(MRD) stated on 11/03/2021, Resident 11's blood glucose was 442 mg/dl. MRD stated the physician's
order was to call the physician if the blood glucose was over 400 milligrams. MRD stated he could not find
any documentation indicating the nurse had notified the physician about the resident's increased blood
glucose level.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/08/2021 at 1:56 p.m., MRD stated on 09/05/2021,
Resident 11's blood glucose was 444 mg/dl. MRD stated he could not find any documentation indicating the
nurse had notified the physician about the resident's increased blood glucose level.
During an interview, on 12/08/2021 at 3:15 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated nurses should follow
the physician's order for notifying them if the blood glucose was high because it was obviously not within
normal limits for the resident. The DON stated the physician would want to be aware of anything was not
within normal limits so he/she could decide if there needed to be new orders.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Diabetes - Clinical Protocol, revised in 09/2017,
indicated the physician will order desired parameters for monitoring and reporting information related to
blood sugar management.

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 label in accordance with accepted
professional principles as evidenced by:
1. Resident 25 was observed to have an opened insulin (medication used to control high blood sugar) pen
without date open label, for one of two (East Unit Medication Cart) medication carts.
2. A box was observed containing ten vials of Ceftriaxone (medication used to treat bacterial infections) one
gram intravenous (IV-administered into a vein) medication not removed once expired, for one of one
inspected medication storage room.
These deficient practices increased the risk the residents could receive medications that had become
ineffective or toxic due to improper storage or labeling.
Findings:
a. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 12/06/2021 at 10:59 a.m., with Licensed Vocational
Nurse 2 (LVN 2), in East Unit, Resident 25's opened Basaglar Kwikpen (insulin glargine [a long-acting
medication used to control high blood sugar]) was found in the medication cart without a date open label.
LVN 2 stated the resident's insulin pen should have a date of when it was opened so the nurses would
know how long the medication had been opened and stored in the cart. LVN 2 stated once it was opened, it
was only good for 28 days. LVN 2 stated storing the insulin past 28 days could lessen the potency.
A review of the Resident 25's admission record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility, on
09/16/2021, with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure, pneumonia (infection that inflames air sacs
in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (condition in which the body does
not use insulin [hormone that regulates blood sugar levels] properly, resulting in unusual blood sugar
levels).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated
09/22/2021, indicated Resident 25 was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident 25 received insulin
during the 7 day look back period (time frame for observation).
A review of the pharmacy label on Resident 25's insulin pen with refill date of 11/23/2021, indicated for
Resident 25 to receive 20 units subcutaneously (under the skin) one time a day for diabetes mellitus (hold if
blood sugar less than 100). The label indicated to keep refrigerated until opened and discard 28 days after
opening.
A review of an undated facility policy and procedure titled, Medications Requiring Notation of Date Opened,
indicated all medications requiring an open date will be dated immediately upon opening. Date will be
applied using Date Open label or written directly on the packaging by the charge nurse. To ensure potency,
maintain efficacy and avoid cross contaminations, certain medications must be dated when first opened
and discarded when the designated expiration time period or the manufacturer's expiration date elapses. All
insulin expires 28 days after opening, refrigerate until opened. The expiration period is based on currently
accepted standards of practice and/or the manufacturer's

Nurse 2 (LVN 2), in a cabinet in the Medication Storage room, a box containing ten vials of one gram
Ceftriaxone for injection was found with an expiration date of 02/01/2021. LVN 2 stated expired medications
should be taken off the shelf and placed in the medication waste bin for disposal. LVN 2 stated if the
medications were not removed from the shelf, there was a risk that the medication could be given to a
resident, since it was stored as a house supply.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records that were accurately
documented as evidenced by failing to ensure the facility contained physician record of the cause of death
in the progress note for one (Resident 48) of three residents reviewed for closed records.
This deficient practice may result in incomplete documentation and miscommunication among staff
members for Resident 48.
Findings:
A review of the admission record indicated Resident 48 was admitted to the facility, on 07/13/2021, with
diagnoses including malignant neoplasm (cancerous tumor) of the bladder, hypertension (high blood
pressure), and anemia (condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells).
A review of the Licensed Nursing Progress note, dated 09/18/2021, indicated Resident 48 was pale in color
and unresponsive, no breath sounds were appreciated, no carotid pulse palpable and no heart sounds
noted. The Charge Nurse pronounced Resident 48's death at 12:02 a.m. The record indicated Resident
48's Physician Orders for Life -Sustaining Treatment (POLST) indicated an order for Do Not Attempt
Resuscitation/DNR (Allow Natural Death). The physician, the resident's responsible party were notified. The
mortuary picked up the resident's body at 2:45 a.m.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/08/2021 at 10:53 a.m., with Registered Nurse 1
(RN 1) stated the physician did not document in the progress note the resident's cause of death.
During an interview, on 12/08/2021 at 01:43 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the physician
should document Resident 48's cause of death so that the facility would know if the cause was related to
the resident's admitting diagnoses and if it was not, the facility could further investigate on the death of the
resident.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Death of a Resident, Documenting, with revised date of
12/2009, indicated the attending physician must record the cause of death in the progress notes, and must
complete and file a death certificate with the appropriate agency within twenty-four hours of the resident's
death or as maybe prescribed by state law.

hands or used alcohol- based hand sanitizer (ABHR) after removing Resident 16's face mask and before
she assisted Resident 46 with her meal.
During an observation, on 12/06/2021 at 12:32 p.m., RNA 1 was observe to get up from her seat and
removed Resident 43's face mask. RNA 1 then went back to feeding Resident 46. RNA 1 was observed not

During an observation, on 12/06/2021 at 12:42 pm., RNA 1 was observed to get up from her seat and
removed Resident 43's ice cream lid and proceeded to continue feeding Resident 46. RNA 1 was observed
not to wash her hands or used alcohol- based hand sanitizer (ABHR) after touching Resident 43's food item
from her tray and before she continued feeding Resident 46.
During an interview, on 12/06/2021 at 12:52 p.m., RNA 1 stated she should have washed her hands for
thirty seconds or used hand sanitizer (ABHR) before and after and in between assisting residents with their
meals. RNA 1 stated she could potentially pass germs from one resident to another by not washing her
hands or by not using hand sanitizer before and after resident contact.
During an interview, on 12/07/2021 at 11:10 a.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated staff should wash
hands or use ABHR before and after touching residents because there was a risk for cross contamination
and spread of multidrug resistant organism (MDRO- bacteria [germs] that have developed resistance to
multiple types of antibiotics). IP also stated staff should also wash hands in between ABHR use.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Handwashing/Hand hygiene, revised on 08/2015,
indicated the facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of infections; use an
alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 62% alcohol; or alternatively, soap (antimicrobial or
non-antimicrobial) and water for the following situations including: after contact with resident's intact skin,
before and after eating or handling food; before and after assisting resident with meals.

A review of Resident 150's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility,
on 06/25/2017 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of
muscle tissue), generalized muscle weakness, and acute kidney failure (a condition in which the kidneys
cannot filter waste from the blood).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated
12/06/2021, indicated Resident 150 was severely impaired in cognition (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) and was totally
dependent on staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of the Order Summary Report, dated 11/30/2021, indicated Resident 150 was to be placed on
contact and droplet isolation (Contact isolation is used for residents with diseases that can be transmitted
during contact with resident or resident's environment. Droplet isolation is used for residents who are
known or suspected to be infected with pathogens transmitted by respiratory droplets) for coronavirus

A review of Resident 150's care plan (provides direction on the type of nursing care a resident may need),
dated 11/30/2021, indicated the resident was on transmission-based precautions (additional measures
focused on the particular mode of transmission and are always in addition to standard precautions)
secondary to being a new admit and not being vaccinated for COVID-19. One of the interventions listed
was to practice isolation precautions for infection control and follow infection control policy and procedures.
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation, on 12/08/2021 at 9:49 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) was observed
entering Resident 150's room wearing a gown, goggles, and surgical mask (a loose-fitting, disposable
device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and potential
contaminants in the immediate environment). A yellow sign posted outside the resident's room indicated the
required personal protective equipment (PPE - equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause
serious workplace injuries and illnesses) included a gown, an N95 mask, face shield/goggles (a protective
covering for all or part of the face that is commonly made of clear plastic and is worn especially to prevent
injury or to reduce the spread of transmissible disease), and gloves. CNA 3 was observed providing patient
care to the resident.
During an interview, on 12/08/2021 at 10:07 a.m., CNA 3 confirmed he was wearing a surgical mask and
should have put on an N95 mask before entering a yellow zone room because it provided more protection
than a surgical mask.
During an interview, on 12/08/2021 at 3:15 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the appropriate PPE
that nurses should be wearing in the yellow zone were a N95 mask, gown, gloves, and eye protection. The
DON stated N95 masks should be worn in the yellow zones. The DON stated that was the guidance the
facility received from the Department of Public Health.
During an interview, on 12/09/2021 at 9:02 a.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated the staff needed to
wear gowns, gloves, goggles, and an N95 mask before entering the yellow zone.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Infection Prevention and Control Committee, revised in
07/2016, indicated that the Infection Prevention and Control Committee shall advise the Administrator about
working conditions and specific tasks that employees are expected to encounter that may pose an infection
risk, including monitoring the effectiveness of work practices and protective equipment. This includes
surveillance of the workplace to ensure that required work practices are observed and that protective
clothing and equipment are provided and properly used. The Infection Control Committee shall oversee
training programs for all employees who may have the potential for exposure to blood, or to body fluids
containing visible blood, during the course of their workday. Instructions will focus on identifying and using
procedures related to the prevention of bloodborne illnesses, including but are not limited to procedures to
follow when personal protective equipment is used.

A review of Resident 20's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility, on
09/15/2021, with diagnoses that included dementia (general term for loss of memory, language,
problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life).
A review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted to the facility, on

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview, on 12/06/2021 at 9:13 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) verified that there
was an unlabeled urinal by Resident 21's bedside. LVN 4 stated the urinal should have been labeled with
the resident's name.
During an interview, on 12/08/2021 at 3:15 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that if there were two
or more residents in one room, it was important to label the urinals and bedpans (a container used to
collect urine or feces) with the resident's name for infection control.
During an interview, on 12/09/2021 at 9:02 a.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated it was the facility's
policy to label urinals and bedpans with the resident's room and bed number. The IP stated they should
also be labeled with the date it was last changed because they need to be changed weekly. The IP stated
they should also be kept inside a plastic bag when they're kept in the shared bathroom. The IP stated this
was to ensure there was no cross-contamination between residents and to ensure infection control.
