**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to treat the residents with dignity for one of 14
residents (31) when licensed vocational nurse A (LVN A) opened Resident 31's room door without covering
her while her back and buttocks were exposed.
This failure had the potential to cause embarrassment and feelings of low self-esteem (unhappy and
thinking negatively about yourself) for the resident.
Findings:
Review of Resident 31's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
During a wound treatment observation, on 3/5/25 at 2:11 p.m., Resident 1 was lying in her bed, the first bed
from her room door; the curtain was opened all the way, and the door was closed. LVN A turned Resident 1
to the side. Resident 1's back and buttocks were exposed and facing the room door. LVN A found that
Resident 1 had bowel movement. Without covering Resident 1's body, LVN A opened the door and called
the certified nursing assistant (CNA) to come to clean Resident 1. During the wound treatment, LVN A
needed assistance. Again, without covering Resident 1's body, LVN A opened the door and called for help.
During an interview with LVN A, on 3/5/25 at 3:20 p.m., she acknowledged that she should have covered
Resident 31's body before she opened the room door to call for assistance.
Review of the facility's policy, Resident Rights, dated 1/1/12, indicated Employees are to treat all residents
with kindness, respect, and dignity and honor the exercise of residents' rights.

2. A review of Resident 4's clinical record shows diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (disorder of the
nervous system that causes tremors, stiffness, and slow movements), Schizoaffective disorder (a mental
health condition including schizophrenia, which affects thinking, emotions, and behavior), mood disorders
and, Dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) with
agitation.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 4's physician's order for Valproic Acid (medication used to treat seizures, mood
disorders) 250 milligrams/5 milliliter (mg/ml, measurement of solution's concentration) to be given two times
a day to manage mood disorder, including angry outburst, throwing things towards patients and aggressive
behavior. The medication was started on 6/24/24.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 3/7/25, at 10:47 a.m.,
the DON confirmed that Resident 4's clinical record did not contain an Informed Consent for Valproic acid.
After further review, the DON found an informed consent for Seroquel (a medication used to treat
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression), but acknowledged that an informed consent
should also have been obtained for Resident 4's Valproic Acid.
3. A review of Resident 28's clinical record with diagnoses including Encephalopathy (a condition that
affects brain function, leading to confusion, memory problems, and difficulty thinking); schizoaffective
disorder, bipolar disorder (mood swings between depression and mania).
A review of Resident 28's physician's order for Risperidone 0.25 mg, twice a day, to manage
Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar type manifested by paranoid thoughts, physical aggression. The
medication was ordered on 12/4/24.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the DON on 3/7/25, at 2:40 p.m., the DON confirmed
that the Informed Consent Documentation dated 12/5/24, and signed by Resident 28 and the physician,
was incomplete. The document did not include the medication name, dose, frequency, indications, side
effects, or possible adverse reactions. The DON also confirmed that Resident 28's Verification of Informed
Consent for Risperidone was missing a date and a nurse's signature.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to properly obtain informed consent (permission
granted in the knowledge of the possible consequences) for psychotropic medications (medications
capable of affecting the mind, emotions and behavior) for three (Resident 20, Resident 4, and Resident 28)
out of 14 residents.
This failure had the potential to compromise the right of the residents or responsible parties (persons
designated to make decisions of behalf of the residents) to be fully informed regarding care and treatment
in order to make health care decisions.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 20's clinical record indicated he had a physician's order for Risperidone (medication
used to treat mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss interest in life, and strong or
inappropriate emotions) 0.25 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement) to be administered at bedtime for
one week started on 3/1/25 until 3/8/25.

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 ensure that medications were fully
administered as prescribed for one of 4 residents (Resident 21) observed during medication pass
administration.
This failure placed Resident 21 at risk for ineffective treatment and potential health complications.
Findings:
During a medication pass administration observation on 3/4/25, at 4:10 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse D
(LVN D) prepared Resident 21's medications for administration via gastrostomy tube (GT, tube inserted

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen staff
competently carried out the functions of the food and nutrition services department according to facility
policy and standards of practice when kitchen staff did not correctly demonstrate how to test the dish
machine sanitizer.
This failure had the potential to place 51 residents who consumed food from the kitchen at risk for exposure
to contaminants in food that may lead to food borne illness.
Findings:
During a kitchen observation and interview on 3/4/25 at 1:09 p.m. with the Registered Dietician (RD),
Dietary Manager (DM), and Dietary [NAME] (DC), DC tested the sanitizer of the facility dish machine. DC
took a test strip and dipped it in the water that came out of the dish machine after a cycle. The test strip
turned purple and DC compared it to the test strip container. The RD and DM stated this was how they test
the sanitizer.
During an interview on 3/5/25 at 10:41 a.m. with dish machine vendor technician specialist (TS), TS stated,
the correct way to test the dish machine sanitizer was either to take a cleaned plate out of a dish machine,
flip the plate upside down, and put the test strip on the bottom of the plate or let the test strip touch the
inside walls of the dish machine and then compare the strip with the test strip container. TS also stated, that
test strip should not be dipped directly in the water from the dish machine. TS stated that kitchen staff were
trained about this technique.
Dish machine procedure manual/manufacturer guidelines was requested but was not provided.
Based on dish machine vendor's Proper Testing Procedure for the low temperature dish machine, When
testing for sanitizer, we need to test the items that are actually being washed .a good example is coffee
cups .coffee cups have a concave bottom that will hold a little bit of final rinse water .as soon as the rack
comes out of the machine, take the test strip, wipe it on the bottom of the coffee cup .
