Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility stored 37 of 37 vials of various vaccines in an unlocked refrigerator with no method of monitoring temperature control, comingled with staff food items, and in a shared office with the social worker (SW) who was not a nurse, and was not licensed to have access to vaccines. These failures had the potential for the medications to become ineffective, contaminated, or diverted for unauthorized use. Findings: During an observation in the shared office of the social worker (SW) and the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 5/9/19 at 8:46 a.m., a mini-refrigerator contained the following vaccines: two boxes of influenza (flu) vaccine [Fifteen vials of 0.5 ml (milliliter)]; one tuberculin vial [5 tu(tuberculin unit)/0.1ml]; five vials of hepatitis b vaccines, and one vial of pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine.

DON stated the mini-refrigerator had no thermometer to ensure the vaccines storage temperature met the manufacturer's instructions of storage at 36 degrees Fahrenheit (F, a unit of temperature measurement) to 42 F. DON stated the vaccines would not be used, but destroyed, since the actual storage temperature was unknown. During an observation and concurrent interview in the DSD office, with the DSD, on 5/9/19 at 9:59 a.m., DSD confirmed the mini-refrigerator contained vaccines.

Cooking staff did not wash hands between glove changes during tray line service. 2. Ice machine filters had layers of gray particulate matter. 3. The nursing station ice machine drip tray had layers of foreign substances. These failures placed residents at risk to acquire food borne illness and infection. Findings: 1. During an observation in the kitchen on 5/8/19 at 11:30 a.m., [NAME] (CK) 1, a member of the kitchen tray line staff, wore gloves on both hands while he scooped food onto each resident plate.

During an interview on 5/9/19, at 9:59 a.m., the ICN stated the ice machine's vent filters should be cleaned to prevent the spread of infection as dust accumulation could cause respiratory infection or aggravate respiratory distress in residents with impaired breathing conditions such as asthma. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Ice Machines and Ice Storage Chests, revised 1/12, indicated as followed: Policy Statement. Ice machines and ice storage/distribution containers will be used and maintained to assure a safe and sanitary supply of ice. Policy Interpretation and Implementation . 3.
