Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assess if the resident was safe to
self-administer medications for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 6). A resident may only
self-administer medications after the IDT (Inter Disciplinary Team) has determined which medications may
be self-administered. This failure had the potential to result in unsafe medication administration, and could
have allowed other residents to access unlocked medications.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During an observation on 12/13/21 at 10:00 a.m., an Aquaphor cream jar (a topical ointment for dry skin)
and other personal cleaning products were found on Resident 6's bedside nightstand.
During a follow-up observation on 12/14/21 at 3:51 p.m., multiple medications were found on Resident 6's
bedside nightstand and over-bed table.
During an interview on 12/14/21 at 4:00 p.m., with licensed vocational nurse H (LVN H) , she stated the
medications found at Resident 6's bedside were Nystatin powder (a topical powder for fungal infection) and
Biofreeze (a topical ointment for pain). LVN H further stated there should be no medication left at bedside.
During an interview on 12/16/21 at 9:33 a.m., Resident 6 stated he would like to have Biofreeze at the
bedside.
During an interview on 12/16/21 at 1:05 pm, the director of nursing (DON) stated bedside medications
brought in by family should be given to the charge nurse. The DON further stated if the resident prefers to
self-administer a medication, facility would assess, and would obtain a physician order.
During a review of Resident 6's electronic health record (EHR), no orders for Nystatin Powder and
Biofreeze were found, and no assessment for self-administration of medication was found.
Review of the facility's policy, Self-Administration of Medications, revised December 2016, indicated that
staff shall identify and give to the charge nurse any medications found at the bedside that are not
authorized for self-administration, for return to the family or responsible party.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's code status (instructions on what to do
if the resident has no pulse and stops breathing) was clearly indicated in the medical record for one of 15
sampled residents (Resident 24). This failure had the potential to result in the facility not acting in
accordance with Resident 24's wishes in the event of an emergency.
Findings:
Review of Resident 24's medical record indicated he was admitted on [DATE]. Resident 24's face sheet
(document with basic information) did not specify his code status. The area of the face sheet titled Advance
Directive [resident's wishes regarding medical treatment] was blank.
Resident 24's undated Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST, document that specifies the
medical treatments the resident wants to receive during serious illness) was reviewed. Most of the POLST
was blank, including the section regarding what to do if the resident had no pulse or stopped breathing.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the medical records director (MRD) on [DATE] at
3:20 p.m., the MRD stated the resident's code status should be indicated on the physician's orders. The
MRD reviewed Resident 24's medical record and confirmed his code status was not specified on the
physician's orders. The MRD also confirmed Resident 24's code status was not indicated on his face sheet.
After searching Resident 24's record for some time, the MRD found a History and Physical, dated [DATE],
that indicated Resident 24 demonstrated capacity (had the ability to make decisions) and was to have a
code status of Do Not Resuscitate [allow natural death].
During an interview and concurrent record review with licensed vocational nurse B (LVN B) on [DATE] at
3:37 p.m., LVN B was asked to explain what he would do if Resident 24 had no pulse and was not
breathing. LVN B stated he would confirm if the resident wanted CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a
procedure consisting of chest compressions and artificial breaths) by looking at the POLST or electronic
health record. LVN B reviewed Resident 24's POLST and confirmed it was blank. He then opened Resident
24's electronic health record and confirmed that the area designated for code status was blank. LVN B then
stated that in this situation, he would assume Resident 24 was full code (all resuscitation procedures are to
be provided to keep the resident alive) and start CPR.
On [DATE] at 4:00 p.m., the MRD presented an untitled document for Resident 24, dated 5/10, that
indicated, Do Not Resuscitate.
The facility's policy titled Advance Directives, revised 12/2016, indicated Advance directives will be
respected in accordance with state law and facility policy. Information about whether or not the resident has
executed an advanced directive shall be displayed prominently in the medical record. The plan of care for
each resident will be consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or advance
directive.our facility has defined advanced directives as preferences regarding treatment options and
include, but are not limited to: e. Do Not Resuscitate - indicates that, in case of respiratory or cardiac failure,
the resident, legal guardian, health care proxy, or representative (sponsor) has directed that no
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other life-sustaining treatments or methods are to be used.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 5. Review of
Resident 12's clinical record indicated he was admitted on [DATE] and had diagnoses that included acute
respiratory failure (when fluid builds up in the air sacs in the lungs), difficulty in walking, shortness of
breath, abnormal posture, exhaustion due to excessive exertion, and need for assistance with personal
care.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS, assessment tool), dated 10/2/2021, indicated he had a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a screening tool to assess cognition) score of 13. This score
indicates intact cognitive response.
Review of Resident 12's current PT (physical therapy) Evaluation and Treatment indicated, Gait: requires
contact guard assist [CGA, the assisting person has one or two hands on the resident's body but provides
no other assistance to perform the functional mobility task].
During an observation on 12/15/2021 at 10:06 a.m., Resident 12 was walking in the hallway using a front
wheel walker (FWW, device that provides additional support to maintain balance or stability while walking).
Physical therapist K (PT K) was supporting Resident 12 by the waist with her left hand, and using the other
hand for a wheelchair to follow Resident 12 during walking. Resident 12 was also receiving oxygen per
nasal cannula (a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in
need of respiratory help) via oxygen tank, which was strapped to the back of the wheelchair. No gait belt
was observed around Resident 12's waist.
During an interview with the PT K on 12/15/2021 at 10:15 a.m., PT K confirmed that Resident 12 was not
wearing a gait belt. PT K stated gait belts were used during ambulation for safety.
During an interview with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 12/15/2021 at 3:10 p.m., she stated that a
gait belt should be used when assisting residents during therapy for safety.
During an interview with Resident 12 on 12/17/2021 at 9:00 a.m., he stated that a gait belt was usually
used when walking during therapy for safety because he gets dizzy and nervous sometimes during therapy.
Resident 12 further stated he did not know why a gait belt was not used last time he had therapy.
Review of the facility's undated policy titled Gait Belts, indicated To promote prevention of patient falls while
treatment is being rendered and to reduce injury to staff assisting patients.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice for five of 15 sampled residents (Residents 55, 35, 58, 6
and 12) when:
1. Nursing staff provided ice chips to Resident 55, who had a strict nothing by mouth (NPO, no food or
drinks) doctor's order;
2. Nursing staff did not provide Resident 35's right hand carrot orthosis (device used to prevent further
stiffening of the hand) as ordered;
3. Nursing staff did not provide a left fifth finger splint to Resident 58 as ordered;

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 provide services to promote healing of pressure ulcers
(damage to the skin and underlying tissue as a result of prolonged pressure) for one of 15 sampled
residents (Resident 11) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility did not obtain treatment orders for the resident's multiple pressure ulcers in a timely manner;
2. There was no documentation indicating the facility provided treatments for the resident's multiple
pressure ulcers; and
3. The facility did not develop care plans to address the resident's multiple pressure ulcers.
These failures had the potential to result in worsening pressure ulcers and the development of new
pressure ulcers for Resident 11.
Findings:
Review of Resident 11's medical record indicated she was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 11's Baseline Admission/readmission Screen document, dated 12/12/2021, indicated
Resident 11 had one pressure ulcer on her left heel, one on her right heel, four on her back, one on her
sacrum (tailbone area), one on her left buttock, and one on her right elbow (nine total pressure ulcers). The
pressure ulcers were of different sizes and severities.
Review of Resident 11's December 2021, Order Summary Report indicated she did not have orders for
treatment of the above pressure ulcers until 12/16/2021 (four days after the resident was noted with
pressure ulcers upon readmission).
Resident 11's December 2021, treatment administration record (TAR) was reviewed on 12/17/2021. There
was no documentation indicating the facility provided treatment for any of Resident 11's multiple pressure
ulcers from 12/12/2021 to 12/16/2021.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/17/2021 at 10:42
a.m., she acknowledged that when a resident is noted with pressure ulcers, treatments should be initiated
right away. The DON reviewed Resident 11's record and confirmed there were no pressure ulcer treatment
orders until 12/16/2021. She also confirmed there was no documentation indicating the facility provided
pressure ulcer treatments from 12/12/2021 to 12/16/2021. The DON acknowledged that if the treatments
were not documented, they were not done.
Further review of Resident 11's medical record indicated there were no care plans to address her multiple
pressure ulcers.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/17/2021 at 11:29 a.m., she reviewed
Resident 11's record and confirmed there were no care plans to address her multiple pressure ulcers. The
DON stated the facility was supposed to develop a separate care plan for each individual pressure ulcer.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement appropriate new interventions after
a fall for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 9). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 9
experiencing further falls and injury.
Findings:
Review of Resident 9's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnoses of
disorientation (a state of mental confusion), glaucoma (condition that causes gradual loss of sight), and
abnormalities of gait (manner of walking) and mobility.
Review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Sets (MDS, assessment tools) dated 9/14/2020, 9/30/2020 and
12/31/2020, indicated she had brief interview for mental status (BIMS) scores ranging from 5 to 11 (these
scores indicate moderate to severe cognitive impairment).
Review of Resident 9's care plan, dated 9/4/2020, indicated she was at high risk for falls and injury related
to use of psychotropic medications (medications used to treat mental disorders). The care plan included
interventions such as, Encourage resident to use call light and wait for staff assistance prior to transferring
and Provide assistance needed with transfer and ambulation [walking].
Review of Resident 9's Progress Notes, dated 1/22/2021, indicated she had a fall while transferring herself

Review of Resident 9's Post Fall Evaluation, dated 1/25/2021, indicated Resident 9 forgot to ask for staff
assistance and claimed she could transfer by herself. The Post Fall Evaluation further indicated Resident 1
needed re-education, and the interdisciplinary team (IDT, staff from different disciplines who work together
to plan and provide care) recommended to encourage the resident to use the call light to call for assistance.
During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/16/2021 at 8:58 a.m., she confirmed that when
a resident falls, the facility should develop and implement a new intervention to try and prevent future falls.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/17/2021 at 8:25 a.m., she reviewed
Resident 9's record and confirmed that after the resident fell on 1/22/2021, the IDT recommended to
encourage the resident to use the call light for assistance. She stated the IDT also recommended to provide
assistance during transfers. The DON confirmed these interventions were already in place before Resident
9 fell on 1/22/2021, and the IDT did not develop new interventions. The DON also acknowledged that
encouraging and/or providing reminders were not appropriate interventions to prevent future falls for
Resident 9 because her cognition was impaired.
The facility's policy titled Falls Management Program, revised 1/2019, indicated The Interdisciplinary Team
will reassess the risk factors contributing to falls and interventions to minimize recurrence of falls and injury
during the initial, quarterly and annual assessment, post fall and when a significant change of condition is
identified. The Interdisciplinary Team will review the appropriateness of the interventions.

2. A review of Resident 12's clinical record indicated the resident was admitted with a diagnosis of acute
respiratory failure with hypoxia.
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 12's physician order, dated 10/28/21, indicated Change humidifier bottle every week,
every Sunday and as needed (PRN) when empty.
During observations on 12/13/21 at 9:17 a.m. and on 9/14/21 at 1:10 p.m., Resident 12 was in bed, with
oxygen at six LPM and no humidifier bottle connected to the oxygen concentrator.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/21 at 10:40 a.m., the nurse supervisor (NS)
reviewed Resident 12's physician order and confirmed the resident had an order for humidifier.
During an interview on 12/16/21 at 12:50 p.m., the DON confirmed Resident 12 did not have an oxygen
humidifier when she did her rounds on 12/15/21.
Review of the facility's policy titled Oxygen Administration, dated 2/2014, indicated Steps in the Procedure:
Check the mask, tank, humidifying jar, etc., to be sure they are in good working order and are securely
fastened.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 15 sampled residents
(Residents 18 and 12) received humidified oxygen while on an oxygen concentrator (medical device that
gives extra oxygen). This failure had the potential to affect the residents' health and well-being.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 18's clinical record indicated she was admitted with the diagnoses of acute
respiratory failure with hypoxia (not enough oxygen in the blood), chronic pulmonary edema (condition
caused by excess fluid in the lungs), and pleural effusion (build up of fluid between the tissues that line the
lungs and chest).
During an observation on 12/14/21 at 10:30 a.m., Resident 18 was lying in bed and receiving oxygen at two
liters per minute (LPM, unit of measurement) per nasal cannula (NC, narrow, flexible plastic tubing used to
deliver oxygen through the nostrils) via oxygen concentrator. The NC was not attached to the humidifier
bottle (a bottle filled with water connected to the oxygen concentrator, to keep the nostrils moist).
During an observation and concurrent interview with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 12/14/2021 at
10:35 a.m., LVN C confirmed the above observation and stated that the NC was not attached to the
humidifier. LVN C immediately attached the NC to the humidifier bottle.
During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/15/2021 at 3:00 p.m., the DON stated that
staff should make sure oxygen concentrators are set up properly.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document administration of controlled
medications (medications controlled by the government because they may be abused or cause addiction)
on the controlled medication accountability sheet (count sheet) for three residents (Residents 6, 11 and
16).
This failure compromised the facility's ability to ensure accurate administration of medications.
Findings:
Review of Resident 11's controlled medication accountability sheet on 12/14/21, indicated the remaining
count of Pregabalin (nerve pain medication) 50 milligrams (mg, unit dose of measurement) was 17, but the
medication stock count was 16.
During an interview with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 12/14/21 at 10:45 a.m., she stated she
gave one dose of Pregabalin 50 mg around 10:00 a.m., today, but did not document it yet. The LVN stated
she should have documented it right away.
Review of Resident 16's controlled medication accountability sheet on 12/14/21, indicated the remaining
count of Metronidazole (antibiotics) 500 mg was 20, but the medication stock count was 19. The controlled
medication accountability sheet also indicated the remaining count of Vancomycin (antibiotics) 125 mg was
7, but the medication stock count was 6.
During an interview with LVN D on 12/14/21 at 11:15 a.m., she stated she gave one dose of Metronidazole
500 mg and one dose of Vancomycin 125 mg that morning, but did not document yet. The LVN stated she
should document when she administered the medications.
Review of Resident 6's controlled medication accountability sheet on 12/14/21, indicated the remaining
count of Testosterone (major sex hormone in male) 200 mg/milliliter (ml, unit dose of measurement) was 1,
but the medication was not in the medication cart.
During an interview with LVN D on 12/14/21 at 11:15 a.m., she stated she gave one dose of Testosterone
200 mg/ml this morning, but did not document it yet. The LVN stated she should document when she gave
the medication.
During an interview with the DON on 12/14/21 at 1:07 p.m., she confirmed the licensed nurses should
document administration of controlled medications on the controlled medication accountability sheet when
the medications are administered.
Review of the facility's policy, Medication Storage in the Facility, Controlled Medication Storage, dated April
2008, indicated, a physical inventory of all controlled medication is documented on the controlled
medication accountability record.
Review of the facility's policy, Documentation of Medication Administration, revised April 2007, indicated
Administration of medication must be documented immediately after it is given.

Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 15 sampled residents (Resident
50) had the appropriate indication for the use of Nuedexta (medication for pseudobulbar affect). This failure
put the resident at risk for receiving unnecessary medication.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 50's clinical record indicated she had the diagnosis of unspecified psychosis (a mental
disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality) and did not have the diagnosis of pseudobulbar
affect (a nervous system disorder that causes inappropriate involuntary laughing and crying).
Review of Resident 50's physician orders, dated 12/04/21, indicated Nuedexta 20-10 milligrams (mg, unit of
dose measurement) by mouth two times a day for psychosis manifested by hallucination.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/15/21 at 2:56
p.m., Resident 50's Consultant pharmacist's medication regimen review, dated 10/6/21, indicated Clarify
diagnosis for use of Nuedexta. This is only approved for pseudobulbar affect. The DON stated she was
aware of the pharmacy consultant recommendation, and verified Nuedexta was approved for pseudobulbar
affect, not for Psychosis.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/15/21 at 2:56 p.m., Resident 50's
physician orders, dated 12/4/21, indicated Psychological/psychiatric evaluation and treatment as needed.
The DON confirmed there was no psychological/psychiatric evaluation.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the DON on 12/15/21 at 2:56 p.m., she reviewed
Resident 50's record and verified the resident was on Nuedexta 20-10 mg for Psychosis manifested by
hallucination. The DON stated nurses used an inappropriate indication for Nuedexta.
Review of the facility's policy, Medication administration, dated April 2008, indicated If a medication order
seems to be unrelated to the resident's diagnosis or conditions, the nurse calls the provider pharmacy for
clarification or contacts the prescriber for clarification.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 15 sampled residents (Resident
50) was free of unnecessary psychotropic medications (medications capable of affecting the mind,
emotions and behavior) when there was no documentation of monitoring for the specific target behavior of
paranoid ideation. This failure resulted in lack of adequate behavior monitoring and had the potential for the
resident to receive unnecessary psychotropic medications.
Findings:
Review of Resident 50's clinical record indicated she had the diagnosis of unspecified psychosis (a mental
disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality).
Review of Resident 50's physician orders, dated 12/4/21, indicated Risperidone [medication for
mental/mood disorder] 0.5 milligrams [mg, unit of dose measurement] by mouth at bedtime for psychosis
manifested by paranoid ideation. The orders also indicated, Monitor episodes of paranoid ideation and
document number of episode(s) every shift.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/15/21 at 2:56
p.m., she reviewed Resident 50's record and confirmed there was no documentation of monitoring for the
specific target behavior of paranoid ideation. The DON stated staff should monitor for specific target
behavior not general behavior, and the resident's specific target behavior of paranoid ideation was seeing
things outside of window.
During an interview and concurrent record review with licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 12/15/21 at
3:30 p.m., she reviewed Resident 50's record and confirmed there was no documentation of monitoring for
the specific target behavior of paranoid ideation. LVN C stated the specific target behavior of paranoid
ideation was someone will hurt her.
During an interview and concurrent record review with registered nurse E (RN E) on 12/15/21 at 3:35 p.m.,
she reviewed Resident 50's record and confirmed there was no documentation of monitoring for the specific
target behavior of paranoid ideation. RN E stated the specific target behavior of paranoid ideation was not
taking care of her, seeing abnormal things, someone hurting her.
During an interview with certified nursing assistant F (CNA F) on 12/15/21 at 3:45 p.m., she stated she was
not aware of the resident taking psychotropic medication and was not monitoring any behavior.

These failures had the potential to result in foodborne illness (illness resulting from contaminated food)
throughout the facility.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 12/13/2021 at 8:58 a.m., there was a plastic container of strawberries in one of
the kitchen refrigerators. The container was labeled, Use by 12/11.
During a concurrent interview with [NAME] A, she confirmed the strawberries in the refrigerator were
outdated.
The facility's 2018 document, titled Produce Storage Guidelines, indicated strawberries can be stored in the
refrigerator for two to three days.
2. During an observation on 12/13/2021 at 9:00 a.m., there was water dripping from a ceiling vent onto one
of the kitchen freezers. When the freezer door was open, the water dripped in front of, and into the freezer.
During a concurrent interview with [NAME] A, she confirmed the above observation. [NAME] A stated the
vent was leaking water onto the freezer because it was raining outside.
The facility's policy titled Food Receiving and Storage, revised 10/2017, indicated Food shall be received

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration's 2017 Food Code indicated, Food equipment and the food that
contacts the equipment must be protected from sources of overhead contamination such as leaking or
ruptured water or sewer pipes, dripping condensate, and falling objects. When equipment is installed, it
must be situated with consideration of the potential for contamination from such overhead sources.
3. During an observation on 12/14/2021 at 8:49 a.m., there was a brown substance on the inside of the ice
machine, right above the compartment where the ice was stored. The brown substance was near the part
of the machine that dropped the ice into the storage compartment. There were also water droplets around
the area of the brown substance, which had the potential to drop onto the ice.

or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement infection control practices
when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Certified nursing assistant L (CNA L) did not perform the COVID-19 (infectious disease caused by
SARS-Cov-2 virus) healthcare professional screening prior to entering the facility;
2. The housekeeper (HK) and CNA J did not perform hand hygiene in between tasks;
3. The treatment nurse (TN) did not perform hand hygiene in between tasks and practiced double gloving
(wearing of inner and outer gloves) during wound care; and
4. The business office manager (BOM) did not perform the COVID-19 screening assessment prior to
entering the facility.
These failures had the potential to compromise resident's health and safety in the facility.
Findings:
1. During an observation and interview on 12/13/2021 at 8:55 a.m., while in the facility's lobby, CNA L went
inside the facility, checked his temperature, but did not perform the employee COVID-19 screening prior to
entering the facility. CNA L said he started orientation 3 days ago.
During an interview and record review with the front desk receptionist (FDR) on 12/15/2021 at 9:24 a.m.,
she stated that CNA L was in-serviced (trained) on 12/13/2021 to perform the COVID-19 symptoms
self-check before entering the facility. The surveyor reviewed the healthcare/visitor screening log for
12/6/2021, 12/8/2021 and 12/10/2021, and did not see evidence of documentation.
During an interview with Infection Preventionist (IP) on 12/16/2021 at 9:00 a.m., the IP stated employees
and visitors should self-screen before entering the facility. She further stated the facility will improve on
orienting new staff members on screening procedures.
2a. During an observation on 12/13/21 at 10:17 a.m., the HK exited one resident room after cleaning it. The
HK did not perform hand hygiene. The HK then entered another resident room and started cleaning the
overbed tables, bedside drawers, and bed frames without wearing gloves. The HK then put on a pair of
gloves prior to entering the bathroom and started cleaning.
During an observation on 12/13/21 at 10:23 a.m., the HK removed her gloves after cleaning the bathroom,
and did not perform hand hygiene. The HK stepped out into the hallway, grabbed the floor mop, then went
into a resident room and started mopping the floor.
During an interview on 12/13/21 at 10:52 a.m., the HK confirmed she should have washed her hands
before leaving the resident room, before wearing gloves, and after removing gloves.
During an interview on 12/17/21 at 10:03 a.m., the IP stated housekeepers should be wearing gloves when
cleaning residents' rooms and bathrooms. The IP added that housekeepers should perform hand hygiene
before wearing and upon removal of gloves and when touching dirty to clean surfaces.

Residents Affected - Some
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, dated August 2015,
indicated All personnel shall follow the handwashing/hand hygiene procedures to help prevent spread of
infections to other personnel, residents, and visitors.
2b. During an observation on 12/14/21 at 9:58 a.m., CNA J was performing a bed bath and incontinent care
(cleansing areas between thighs to buttocks) for Resident 35 after the resident had a bowel movement
(BM). Using only one pair of gloves, CNA J cleansed Resident 35's perineal area (area between thighs to
buttocks) with a wet washcloth, turned the resident to the left side, touched the bed control to adjust the
bed's height level, went to the resident's bathroom by touching the doorknob, took a roll of toilet paper to
wipe Resident 35's buttocks and remove the BM, and wiped resident's upper back with another wet
washcloth. Still using the same pair of gloves, CNA J touched the overbed table and applied a clean pad
under the resident. CNA J then removed the gloves, and put on a new pair of gloves without performing
hand hygiene.
During an interview on 12/14/21 at 10:33 a.m., CNA J confirmed touching the bed remote and bathroom
doorknob with dirty gloves. CNA J stated she should have performed hand hygiene during Resident 35's
bed bath and incontinent care.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, dated August 2015,
indicated 7. Use of an alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 62% alcohol; or, alternatively, soap
(antimicrobial or non-antimicrobial) and water for the following situations: h. Before moving from a
contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care;
3. During an observation on 12/14/21 at 9:24 a.m., the TN performed a wound treatment in a resident's
room, then went out of the room. The TN did not sanitize the scissors and Sharpie pen she used during the
wound treatment. She went straight to Resident 35's room.
During an observation on 12/14/21 at 10:06 a.m., the TN was performing wound care to Resident 35's
sacrum (tailbone area) pressure ulcer (PU, wound caused by pressure). The TN used only one pair of
gloves when removing the old/dirty foam dressing, cleansing the wound, picking up scissors from her pants
side pocket to cut a piece of silver alginate (a dressing with antimicrobial, use to absorb some drainage),
and applying a clean foam dressing to the PU. The TN used the same gloves to apply lotrisone cream (a
cream used to treat rashes) to Resident 35's back and neck. The TN removed her right hand glove,
replaced it with a new one, touched the bedside drawer to look for a face towel, changed the right hand
glove to help reposition resident, then removed both gloves. Without performing hand hygiene, the TN went
out of Resident 35's room to get a clean face towel in the linen room. The TN rolled the face towel and
applied it to Resident 35's right hand. Without performing hand hygiene, the TN put on a new pair of gloves,
took Sani Wipes (wipes used to clean and sanitize surfaces, equipment, etc), started wiping a bottle of
Dakin's solution (a liquid solution used to cleanse wounds), a bottle of normal saline, a pair of scissors, and
the top of the treatment cart. She then removed her gloves and starting documenting on the laptop, without
performing hand hygiene.
During an interview on 12/14/21 at 10:18 a.m., the TN stated she used double gloves, but she should have
removed her old gloves and performed hand hygiene in between tasks and when touching surfaces. The TN
confirmed not sanitizing the pair of scissors and Sharpie pen used during wound treatment.
During an interview on 12/17/21 at 10:03 a.m., the IP stated nursing staff and CNAs should perform hand
hygiene before donning (putting on) and after doffing (removing) gloves, and when touching dirty to clean
surfaces. The IP stated nurses should sanitize materials brought and used inside
