Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow professional standards of
practice for one Resident (Resident 41) when: 1) there was no formalized process for nursing to
communicate with the RD to provide assessments for residents who had pressure or diabetic ulcers; and,
2) there was lack of inclusion of the RD in relevant patient care committees, in accordance with the
approved job description.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident 41 had a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect
how the body uses blood sugar--glucose) and a Pressure ulcer. This failure resulted in a nutritional
assessment not being completed, which had the potential to contribute to the wound not healing.
Findings:
It is estimated that up to 50% of hospitalized patients are malnourished. Malnutrition can lead to longer
hospital stays, altered immune function, and impaired skin integrity and wound healing. Malnutrition has
been found to be a significant factor influencing pressure injury (PI) risk and wound healing. While PI
prevention requires multidimensional complex care using a variety of evidence-based strategies,
hospitalized patients benefit from interventions that focus on improving oral nutrition to reduce PI risk and
enhance wound healing. Unfortunately, malnutrition is often under-recognized and inadequately managed
in hospitalized patients and this can lead to higher rates of complications such as PI.
Recent Advances: Recent studies suggest that nutritional care has a major impact in PI prevention and
management. Strategies, including early identification and management of malnutrition and provision of
specially-formulated oral nutritional interventions to at-risk patients, optimization of electronic health record
systems to allow for enhanced administration, monitoring, and evaluation of nutritional therapies, and
implementation of protocol-based computerized decision support systems, have been reported to improve
outcomes. Optimizing Nutrition Care for Pressure Injuries in hospitalized Patients. (2019) Advances in
wound care, 8(7), 309-322.https://doi.org/10.1089/wound.2018.0925
During a review of Resident 41's clinical record, indicated Resident 41 had an acute care hospital office
visit and saw a Doctor of Podiatry Medicine (DPM) on 3/1/22. The following issues were addressed:
Diabetes Type 2 with peripheral neuropathy, Diabetes Type 2 with Diabetic Ulcer of right heel, and pressure
ulcer of the right heel Stage 3.
During a further review of the clinical record, it indicated Resident 41 had a diet order of CCHO (Consistent
Carbohydrate Controlled) diet for diabetics. Resident 41 needed 75g protein for wound healing. Review of

Her caloric needs were 1678-1845 Kcals. If she was only eating 939.68 kcals and 42g protein, she was not
meeting her caloric needs.
During an interview with the RD on 10/19/22 at 11:28 AM, she stated she started in 2019. Apparently, it
was missed by me. I wasn't notified of that change. I don't attend the meetings. The Interdisciplinary Team is

she stated change of condition, onsite, weekly weights, staff can reach out, all new admissions.
During a review of the job description for the Registered Dietitian, not dated, it indicated the RD was hired
on 3/13/20. The primary purpose of the job position was to, .plan, organize, develop, and direct the overall
operation of the Dietary Department . to assure that quality nutritional services are provided on a daily
basis and that the dietary department is maintained in a clean, safe, and sanitary manner.
It further indicated the RD assist the Quality Assessment and Assurance committee in developing and
implementing appropriate plans of actions to correct dietary deficiencies. The RD serves on, participates in,
and attends the various committees of the facility (i.e. Infection Control, Policy Advisory, Pharmaceutical,
Budget, Quality Assessment and Assurance, etc.) as required, and as appointed by the Administrator.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Quality of Care - Skin Management System, dated 5/2019,
indicated, It is the policy of this facility that any resident who enters the facility without pressure ulcers will
have appropriate preventative measures taken to ensure that the resident does not develop pressure
ulcers. It further indicated the Registered Dietitian would provide nutritional support when appropriate.
The facility policy and procedure titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown-Clinical Protocol, not dated,
indicated under, Treatment and Management: a. Although poor nutritional status is associated with
increased risk of pressure ulcer development, no specific nutritional interventions clearly prevent or heal
pressure ulcers. b. Beyond trying to maintain a stable weight and providing approximately 1.2-1.5 gm/kg
protein daily, there are no routine pressure ulcer-specific nutritional measures for those with or at risk for
developing a pressure ulcer. The facility policy was not reflective of accepted standards of professional
practice. It was also noted that the policy did not indicate a professional reference for the practice statement
discounting the benefit of nutritional interventions in wound healing.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the environment was safe for
residents and visitors, when a known tripping hazard, located in the parking lot, was not repaired timely.
Facility staff were aware of the tripping hazard for more than two months, had purchased asphalt for its
repair, and did not execute the repair until after a visitor tripped and fell.
This failure: 1) Caused potential for resident falls, and subsequent injury, for one unidentified resident know
to wheel himself (in a wheelchair) outside independently (without supervision), 2) Caused potential for
resident falls, and subsequent injury, for eight sampled residents (Resident 25, Resident 144, Resident 29,
Resident 16, Resident 8, Resident 36, Resident 28, and Resident 39) and six Unsampled residents
(Resident 27, Resident 17, Resident 9, Resident 34, Resident 55, and Resident 56), known to ambulate
with physical therapy staff inside and potentially outside, the building, and 3) Caused one Confidential
Visitor (CV) to trip, fall and sustain injuries while walking through the parking lot.
Findings:
During an observation on 10/17/22 at 1:25 p.m., a Confidential Visitor (CV) to the facility was walking to
their car in the parking lot. The CV tripped (and subsequently fell) on a three-to-four-inch-deep drop in the
pavement. The surrounding pavement (next to the drop) was cracked; the area was located near a corner of
the building, near the physician's designated parking spot. Pictures were taken of the uneven, cracked
pavement.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 10/17/22 at 1:35 p.m., the three-to-four-inch-deep drop
in the pavement (and visitor fall) was reported to the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON and the CV went
to the uneven pavement site (where the fall occurred), and the DON stated she had not been aware of the
uneven pavement and stated the area was, large. Director A was nearby and stated the cement had,
shifted.
During an observation on 10/17/22 at 2:10 p.m., the CV and three of their confidential coworkers were
walking in the parking lot toward their cars. As the CV and their coworkers approached the uneven
pavement site, the DON, Administrator and Director A were standing there. A bag of asphalt was on the
ground, and Director A was using a shovel to fill in the three-to-four-inch-deep drop with asphalt.
During a telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 10:43 a.m., the Activity Director (Director B) was asked about
types of activities offered to residents at the facility. Director B stated the facility offered multiple activities
including walking. Director B stated a, couple of residents, participated in morning or after meal walks.
Director B stated approximately three residents were able to walk independently, but they ambulated with
supervision (of staff). Director B stated Physical Therapy (staff) would walk additional residents. When
asked where residents walked outside of the building, Director B stated residents could walk on the
sidewalk, from one side of the building to the other. Director B stated the sidewalk had a railing, and the
parking lot was on the other side of the railing. When asked if residents walked on the other side of the
railing (in the parking area), Director B stated, Yes, it depends. Director B was asked if residents walked
near the physician's parking space (near the visitor fall site), and she stated she did not like them to walk
there but if they asked to

walk around the entire building (which included walking in the parking lot), Director B stated, We would take
them.
During a telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 11:01 a.m., Physical Therapy Assistant C (PTA C) stated his
job duties included assisting residents with Ambulation Goals (Physical Therapy targeting improvement of
ambulation/walking). PTA C stated residents who had Ambulation Goals as part of their therapy program,
were assisted by Physical Therapy staff with walking. PTA C stated twenty-five residents currently received
Physical Therapy services at the facility, and north of (more than) 80% of them (approximately twenty
residents) had Ambulation goals (indicating they walked with Physical Therapy staff).
During the same telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 11:01 a.m., PTA C was asked where therapy staff took
residents to ambulate. He stated PT staff walked residents inside and outside the building, and the location
could depend on the resident's goals and the type of terrain (stretch of land, especially its physical features)
needed to achieve those goals. PTA C stated indoor terrain (inside the facility) provided a more even
surface for walking. He stated outdoor terrain had some smooth pavement but also had bumpy and rough
surfaces (for more challenging walking surfaces). He stated, We have a parking lot that is bumpy, and areas
outside with rougher asphalt. When asked what he would do if he encountered a tripping hazard with a
resident, PTA C stated, We would navigate away from it. PTA C stated the facility had had tripping hazards
in the parking lot in the past. PTA C stated, if the tripping hazard needed to be fixed, he would report it to
Director A and stated they were good about fixing issues. When asked if he was aware of any (outside)
tripping hazards that needed repair lately, PTA C stated, No.
During a telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 11:29 a.m., the Director of Plant Management (Director A) was
asked about the uneven, three-to-four-inch-deep drop in pavement located in the parking lot. Director A
stated the facility had fixed the concrete (in the parking lot) in 2012, and at some point the, concrete shifted.
Director A stated the shifting concrete caused a, lip to occur. When asked when the lip occurred, Director A
stated it was, more than a couple of months (ago), but less than, a year. When asked why the lip had not
been repaired if the facility was aware of its existence for at least a couple of months, Director A stated the
facility had identified the hazard and had purchased asphalt to repair it, but the visitor had tripped and fallen
over the site before he fixed it.
During the same telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 11:29 a.m., Director A was asked about the repair
work he had done on the uneven pavement after the visitor fall on 10/17/22. Director A stated he used the
asphalt the facility had onsite to make the repair (a patch). When asked if the asphalt patch was a cold
patch (filling a pothole with asphalt material without heating it), Director A stated the repair was a cold patch
and confirmed it was a temporary fix. He stated he could grind down the cement to create a permanent fix,
but he did not have a cement grinder. Director A stated the facility was working on a permanent fix, and he
would need to consult with the corporate owners (regarding the permanent fix).
During the same telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 11:29 a.m., Director A was asked if he was aware of
any other visitors falling in the parking lot in the past years. Director A stated he was working at the facility
(years ago) when a visitor had fallen in the parking lot and broken her wrist. Director A stated that past fall
(resulting in the broken wrist) was not related to the cement, lip, but was due to a, loose bolt on metal in the
driveway, which was removed after the fall.
During a telephone interview on 10/20/22 at 3:34 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was asked if

During a Medication Administration Cart (Med Cart) inspection and concurrent interview with Licensed
Nurse M (LN M), on 10/17/22, at 12:51 p.m., there was a drawer in the cart that had a separate lock which
required a key in order to access the drawer. LN M stated controlled medications were stored in the double
locked drawer. LN M unlocked the drawer and pulled the drawer open for inspection. In the drawer were two
boxes with labels indicating they contained fentanyl transdermal patches. The prescription label on the
boxes indicated an old patch would be removed and replaced every 72 hours. LN M stated she was the
nurse normally responsible for applying and removing the patches. LN M was asked to describe, in detail,
the steps taken from administration to eventual discontinuance of the medication.
During an interview with LN M, on 10/17/22, at 12:55 p.m., she described the facility process of handling
used fentanyl patches. LN M stated she wore gloves and removed the old patch from the resident. LN M
stated she folded the old patch to ensure both sticky sides were touching each other. LN M stated she put
the folded patch into a thick plastic sleeve used to hold tablets that needed to be crushed. LN M stated she
took the sleeve and smashed it with the pill crusher. LN M stated she put the plastic sleeve into the sharps
container attached to her Medication Administration Cart (Med Cart). LN M stated that was the entire
process for used fentanyl patches. LN M confirmed she carried out this procedure by herself every 72
hours. LN M stated there was no documentation requirement for this process. LN M stated she
remembered a different process that required a second nurse as a witness and a signature page for used
patches, but that process had not been used in a very long time.
During an interview, on 10/19/22, at 2:10 p.m., with the Pharmacist Consultant (PC), she stated the facility
had a new policy for Fentanyl Patches that had gone into effect this year. The PC stated used Fentanyl
patches did not require any documentation and could be thrown in the regular trash bin on the Med Cart.
When asked to provide a professional reference for her statement, the PC stated she would get back with
the information.
During an interview, on 10/20/22, at 3 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated she was
responsible for medication disposition in the facility. The DON stated medication that was no longer needed
should be removed from the Med Cart. The DON stated the facility expectation for controlled medication
was to remove the medication and the corresponding Drug Count Sheet from the Med Cart and pass them
to the DON for storage prior to destruction. The DON stated she and the Pharmacist Consultant (PC)
reviewed all controlled medications and documentation at least once a month to destroy the controlled
medications.

1. The facility pharmacist failed to identify a risk for a potential medication administration error for one
resident, Resident 144. The medication label on a controlled medication, Hydromorphone (Hydromorphone
is used as a pain reliever. Hydromorphone is two to eight times more potent than morphine but shorter
duration and greater sedation), was not the indication for use as written by Resident 144's physician. This
failure had the potential to result in ineffective pain management or overdosing that could adversely affect
the health and safety of Resident 144; and,
2. The facility failed to implement a system to consistently and accurately reconcile its inventory of Fentanyl
Transdermal Patches (a potent opioid pain medication that is given and absorbed through the skin), which
had the potential to result in medication diversion going unnoticed for an extended amount of time.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 144's, Order Summary Report, dated 10/21/22, at 10:54 a.m., the report
indicated Resident 144 had medical diagnoses that included Secondary Malignant Neoplasm of Bone
(Secondary bone cancer refers to a cancer that has started in another part of the body and has spread

Physician wrote an order for Hydromorphone HCL (Hydrochloride) 4 mg, give 1 tablet by mouth every four
hours as needed for Moderate Pain and Hydromorphone HCL 1.5 tablets (6 mg) by mouth every four hours
as needed for Severe Pain.
During an observation on 10/19/22, at 11:32 a.m., inside Resident 144's room, Resident 144 was sitting in
his wheelchair, and a physical therapist came in to get him ready for Physical Therapy. Resident 144
screamed in pain as he was getting repositioned in his wheelchair.
During a review of Resident 144's, Care Plan, for pain, the care plan indicated Resident 144 had pain
related to left total knee replacement and left femur (thigh bone) replacement on 8/1/22. The care plan
indicated Resident 144 had a history of cancer that metastasized to his left femur. The goal for the care
plan was Resident 144 would not have an interruption in normal activities due to pain. The care plan
indicated one of the interventions was to follow the pain scale and to medicate as ordered. Another
intervention on the care plan indicated, Serious, life threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur
with the use of Hydromorphone. Monitor for respiratory depression, especially during initiation of
hydromorphone or following a dose increase.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/20/22, at 3:58 p.m., with Licensed Staff O, a blister
pack (A blister pack is a form of tamper-evident packaging where an individual pushes individually sealed
tablets through the foil in order to take the medication) for Resident 144's Hydromorphone HCL 4 mg
tablets, indicated on the label, take 1(4 mg) to 1.5 (6 mg) tablets by mouth every 4 hours as needed for
pain. It was shown to Licensed Staff O that the medication label did not indicate when to give 1 tablet or 1.5
tablets. Licensed Staff O was asked, when she would administer 1 tablet and when would she administer
1.5 tablets, because it was not specified on the label. Licensed Staff O stated she would ask Resident 144,
and if his pain was moderate (level 4-6), she would administer 1 tablet and give 1.5 tablets if Resident 144's
pain was severe (level 7-10). The blister pack for the Hydrocodone HCL had a written warning that this
medication was an opioid: (Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic
opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription). Risk of overdose and
addiction.
During a review of Resident 144's, Medication Administration Record (MAR) for October 2022, the MAR
indicated, Resident 144 was being monitored for pain every shift, pain level 0 was no pain, 1-3 was mild
pain, 4-6 was moderate pain, and 7-10 was severe pain. On 10/11/22, at 11 p.m., Licensed Staff P
assessed Resident 144's pain level at 6, moderate pain, and he was administered Hydromorphone HCL
1.5 tablets (6mg). On 10/18/22, at 7 p.m., Resident 144's pain level was 5, moderate pain, Licensed Staff P
administered Hydromorphone HCL 1.5 tablets (6mg). The Physician's Order on the Order Summary
Report, transcribed to the MAR, indicated Hydromorphone HCL 4 mg, 1.5 tablets (6mg) would be
administered as needed every 4 hours for severe pain, not for moderate pain. On 10/11/22, at 3:54 p.m.,
Resident 144's pain level was assessed at 7, severe pain, Licensed Staff P administered Hydromorphone
HCL 1 tablet (4mg). On 10/14/22, at 12:37 p.m., Resident 144's pain level was assessed at an 8, Licensed
Staff Q administered Hydromorphone HCL 1 tablet (4mg). The MAR indicated, if Resident 144's pain was
severe, per Physician's Order, he should have received Hydromorphone HCL 1.5 tablets (6mg).
During an interview on 10/21/22, at 11:31 a.m., with the facility Pharmacist, she stated she had reviewed
Resident 144's medication regimen and was not concerned about how the label was written for
Hydromorphone.

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 implement its medication labeling
and medication storage policies and procedures, when:
1. One vial and two boxes of medication, which had no prescription labels attached to them, were found
among the active supply (current prescription) of medications in the Medication Storage Refrigerator. This
failure had the potential to result in administration of the wrong medication to the wrong resident; and,
2. Three liquid medications, which had been previously opened, did not have a label to indicate the date
opened and/or any changes to the medication use-by date. These failures had the potential to result in
administration of deteriorated medications and increased risk for ineffective treatments, resulting in
residents' lower quality of life.
Findings:
1. During a Medication Storage Room inspection and concurrent interview with the Infection Prevention
Nurse (IP), on 10/17/22, at 10:48 a.m., the IP stated the refrigerator inside the Medication Storage Room
was used to store temperature-sensitive medications. The IP opened the refrigerator door, inside the
refrigerator there were several blue plastic bins filled with insulin pens, boxes, bags, and vials of various
medications.
During a Medication Storage Room inspection and concurrent interview with the IP, on 10/17/22, at 10:53
a.m., inside the Medication Storage Refrigerator there was a glass vial with a green label. The IP read the
label on the vial and stated the medication was Levemir (a man-made long-acting insulin used to control
high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes) for injection, 100 U/mL 10 ml total volume. The label
on the vial indicated the medication expired 3/21/24. The vial had no prescription information attached to it.
The vial had no indication of who's medication it was. The IP stated she was not sure who was prescribed
the vial she was holding. There were several other insulins located in the refrigerator, the vials were all
secured inside a cardboard box package. The cardboard box outer packaging had prescription stickers
attached to them. The IP stated she did not know why the vial was stored with no prescription information.
During a Medication Storage Room inspection and concurrent interview with the IP, on 10/17/22, at 10:56
a.m., inside the Medication Storage Refrigerator there were two white boxes, approximately 3 inches by 3
inches by 1 inch tall. The IP read the label on the boxes, and stated the medication was Genotropin (an
injectable form of human growth hormone important for the growth of bones and muscles). There was no
prescription information on either box. The IP stated she would have to look through the Medication
Administration Reports (MAR) to figure out whose medication it was.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Storage and Expiration Dating of Medications,
Biological, last revised on 7/21/22, the policy indicated the facility should destroy and reorder medications
and biologicals with soiled, illegible, worn, makeshift, incomplete, damaged or missing labels.

service.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, one of two sampled Diet Aides was not able to
verbalize or demonstrate how to properly test the chemical strength of the sanitation bucket in the kitchen.
This failure had the potential for this Diet Aide not to have the correct concentration and would potentially
result in ineffective sanitization of food service equipment.
Findings:
During an observation and concurrent interview on 10/18/22 at 3 PM, Diet Aide H was scooping ice cream.
Upon completion of the task, Diet Aide H was asked to describe how surfaces were sanitized. Diet Aide H
could not verbalize or demonstrate proper test procedure. The Director of Food Services (DFS) intervened
and assisted Diet Aide H to find the correct measuring strips. Diet Aide H stuck the test strip in the solution
in the red bucket for 10 seconds, read the strip on the back of the bottle of test strips, which showed Test
400.
During a review of the department document titled, Verification of Job Competency-Cooks, dated 9/2/22, for
Diet Aide H, it showed she was able to verbalize sanitizing solution; test concentration and record results
and when to replace the solution. The competency was signed/verified by the Director of Food Services
(DFS).

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to puree two food items per the recipe.
This failure caused one puree item not to hold its shape and the other to taste grainy.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization (IDDSI) Framework July 2019, provides a common
terminology to describe food textures. Foods are measured from Levels 3 - 7.
Level 4 Pureed
Usually eaten with a spoon (a fork is possible) o Cannot be drunk from a cup because it does not flow
easily o Cannot be sucked through a straw o Does not require chewing o Should be smooth and can be
piped, layered or molded because it retains its shape, but should not require chewing if presented in this
form o No lumps o Not sticky o Liquid must not separate from solid. Cohesive enough to hold its shape on a
spoon.
During a tray line observation on 10/17/22 at 11:40 AM, [NAME] E was pureeing meatballs. [NAME] E
stated he could add chicken broth or beef broth if he needed to. He pureed just the meatballs with nothing
added.
A taste test was conducted, based on surveyor observation of pureed food production practices, on
10/17/22 at 12:36 PM, and the pureed meatball did not hold its shape. The pureed meatball looked like
ground beef and fell apart in the surveyor's mouth. It tasted like ground meat. The DFS tasted the pureed
meatball and stated, It is crumbly because it didn't have any gravy. The DFS confirmed the meatball was
crumbly.
A test tray, in the presence of the Director of Food Service (DFS), was conducted on 10/18/22 at 8:33 AM,
based on resident concerns. The test tray included an evaluation of pureed items. It was noted the pureed
eggs tasted grainy and bland.
Review of the Recipe: Pureed Meats, not dated, indicated the [NAME] should puree on low speed to a
paste consistency before adding any liquid. Gradually add warm liquid (low sodium broth or gravy). Starting
with the smaller amount and adding more as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Puree should
reach a consistency slightly softer than whipped topping.
During a review of the Recipe: Pureed Eggs, not dated, indicated the [NAME] should puree on low speed to

These failures put residents at risk for consuming food prepared with contaminated flour, hairs falling into
resident food, risk for consuming expired nutritional supplements, which could lead to dyspepsia
(Dyspepsia is another word for indigestion. People with indigestion often report feelings of stomach pain,
over-fullness and bloating during and after eating. Other common symptoms include acid reflux, heartburn,
and excessive burping), as well as infection control concerns.
Findings:
1. During a tour of the dry storage on 10/17/22 at 10:35 AM, flour, still in the bag it was delivered in, was
opened and stored inside plastic tub with a id. In a concurrent interview, the DFS (Director of Food
Services) confirmed the bag was the original shipping bag which would not have been protected from dirt
or dust during transportation.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Storage of Food and Supplies, dated 2020, indicated in item #6. Dry
bulk foods (flour, sugar, dry beans, food thickener, spices, etc.) should be stored in seamless metal or
plastic containers with tight covers, or in bins which are easily sanitized.
2. During a kitchen tour on 10/17/22 at 10:05 AM, [NAME] E was wearing a surgical mask which did not
cover the hairs on his neck.
During a kitchen tour on 10/18/22 at 9:46 AM, [NAME] E was again wearing a surgical mask which did not
cover the hairs on his neck.
During an observation and interview with the DFS on 10/19/22 at 2:30 PM, it was noted there was a sign on
the kitchen door displaying a picture and indicating hair covering was mandatory. When the DFS was asked
about the expectation, relative to beard covers related to [NAME] E, she stated, It is usually covered with a
mask.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Dress Code for Dietary Staff, not dated, indicated,
