Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure licensed nursing staff accurately and
consistently monitored and documented fluid intake and output (intake refers to the total amount of fluids a
person consumes, while output refers to the total amount of fluids the body eliminates) for one of one
resident reviewed for urinary catheters (Resident 100), when Resident 100's intake and output record had
blanks (no data recorded), documentation was not in the correct milliliter (ml - unit of measure) format, and
there was no policy and procedure regarding monitoring and documenting intake and output as specified in
Resident 100's care plan (an individualized plan for the medical care of a resident).These failures resulted
in inconsistencies in the monitoring and documentation of Resident 100's intake and output which had the
potential for Resident 100's medical record to inaccurately portray his fluid balance, and functional urinary
status.Findings:During a review of Resident 100's admission Record (contains medical and demographic
information), the admission Record, indicated Resident 100 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which
included benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract symptoms (the non-cancerous enlargement of
the prostate gland, causing a range of urinary problems), hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy (hereditary
neuropathy is a group of genetic disorders causing peripheral nerve damage, while idiopathic neuropathy
refers to nerve damage with an unknown cause), and secondary malignant neoplasm of the brain (cancer
that has started somewhere else in the body has spread to the brain).During a concurrent observation and
interview on July 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with Resident 100, Resident 100 was observed lying in bed.
Resident 100 stated he recently had an indwelling urinary catheter placed because he was not able to
urinate on his own.During a review of Resident 100's physician's orders, dated July 22, 2025, indicated,
Record intake & [and] output every shift x14 [for fourteen] days. Reassess continuation of intake & output
after 14 days.During a review of Resident 100's physician's orders, dated July 23, 2025, the order indicated
Resident 100 had an indwelling foley catheter (a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain
urine).During a concurrent interview and record review on July 31, 2025, at 9:51 AM, with the Director Of
Nursing (DON), Resident 100's Monitor Record (document used by licensed nursing staff to record intake
and output), dated July 1, 2025, through July 31, 2025, was reviewed. The Monitor Record, indicated the
following:-For Friday, July 25, 2025, during the 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM nursing shift, and Tuesday, July 29, 2025,
during the 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM nursing shift, there were blanks where Resident 100's intake and output
was supposed to be documented.-For thirteen (13) of 26 documented shifts, output was documented as x1
(one time) or x2 (two times) and was not in milliliter (volume) format.-For 10 of 26 documented shifts, output
was documented as milliliters volume.The DON acknowledged Resident 100's intake and output Monitor
Record, for the month of July 2025 had blanks where intake and output was not documented by staff and
stated licensed nurses should have documented the resident's intake and

should have been recorded in milliliter volume instead of the number of times the resident urinated and
stated the documentation was incorrect. The DON stated the certified nursing assistants (CNA) also
recorded the amount of urine output they drained from the catheter bag but stated she was not sure if the
CNA documented values were in addition to the values recorded by the licensed nurses. The DON stated
the documentation for intake and output seemed to be inconsistent.During a review of Resident 100's care

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Order Summary Diet Order (a list
of provider orders) was followed for one of three residents (Resident 21) reviewed for dining observations
when Resident 21 did not receive his physician ordered Boost VHC ( nutritional supplement, very high
calories) with meals for lunch on July 29, 2025 and for breakfast on July 30, 2025.These failures had the
potential to have contributed to Resident 21's weight loss.Findings:During a review of Resident 21's
admission Record (contains medical and demographic information), it indicated Resident 21 was admitted
to the facility on [DATE], with the diagnoses which included Myocardial infraction (heart attack), Dementia
(a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and immunodeficiency( a condition where the body's
immune system is weakened, making it less able to fight off infections and diseases).During a review of

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain accurate records of controlled
medications (medications that are controlled by the government because it may be abused or cause
addiction) for one of three sampled medication carts (South Cart ) with narcotics when Resident 100's
Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form (CDR - document used to record the administration or
destruction of a controlled drug for tracking purposes) was found to be inaccurate.This failure had the
potential to place the facility at risk for drug diversion (illegal distribution of controlled drugs for any illicit
use) of controlled medications by staff .Findings:During a review of Resident 100's clinical records, the
admission Record, indicated Resident 100 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included,
pressure ulcers stage 4 (Full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed muscle, tendon, ligament,
cartilage, or bone), Type two diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing), spinal stenosis (a condition where the spinal canal narrows, putting
pressure on the spinal cord and/or the nerves), and neuropathy (damage to or disease affecting the nerves,
outside the brain and spinal cord).During a review of Resident 100's Order Summary, dated July21, 2025,
indicated, Pregabalin (medication used to treat neuropathic pain) oral capsule 25 mg (miligrams-a unit of
measurement), give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day for Neuropathy.During a concurrent observation,
interview, and record review on July 31, 2025, at 9:00 AM, with a Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), at
South Unit Station Cart, the South Unit Station Cart CDR was inspected. Resident 100's Pregabalin 25 mg
CDR indicated 13 tablets were administered (one tablet was unaccounted for). Resident 100's Pregabalin
25 milligram pill bubble packet (a card that packages doses of medications within plastic bubbles organized
by day and time of the day) indicated it contained 28 quantities. LVN 4 counted the contents of the bubble
pack and stated there were 14 remaining tablets, and 14 tablets had been administered to Resident 100.
During a follow up interview on July 31, 2025, at 9:10 AM, with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated one pill was given to
Resident 100, and she forgot to document it on the CDR but did document it in the EMR. She further stated
the expectation is when a controlled medication is given it should be documented in the CDR and the EMR
and the contents of the bubble pack should match its CDR to prevent drug diversion.During a concurrent
interview and record review, on July 31, 2025, at 12:24 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the facility's
policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Controlled Substances Administration & Accountability, dated June 2023,
was reviewed. The P&P indicated, .1. General Protocols. f. In all cases, the dose noted on the usage form or
entered into the automated dispensing system must match the dose recorded on the medication
administration record, controlled drug record, or other facility specified form and placed in the patient's
medical record. h. The controlled drug (or other specified form) serves the dual purpose of recording both
narcotic disposition and patient administration. i. The Controlled Drug Record is a permanent medical
record document and in conjunction with the MAR is the source for documenting any patient specific
narcotic dispensed from the pharmacy.4. Obtaining/Removing/Destroying Medications.a. The entire amount
of controlled substances obtained or dispensed is accounted for. The DON stated the licensed nurse is
expected to document dispensed narcotics in Resident's MAR and CDR to prevent potential drug
diversion.The DON further stated the facility's policy was not followed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medical supplies were labeled and
stored in accordance with currently accepted professional principles when an intravenous (giving
medications through the vein) (IV) cart (a mobile cart used to store and transport medications and other
supplies to patients) was found with expired supplies.These failures had the potential for the supplies to be
less effective and compromised health and safety for the highly vulnerable population of 85 Residents in
the facility.Findings:During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE], at 12:23 PM, with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the intravenous (IV) cart (a mobile storage unit designated to hold and transport
medical supplies for intravenous medication and other treatment) was inspected. The following items were
found expired and available for use:1. Six alcohol swabs (small, disposable pads or wipes that are saturated
with isopropyl alcohol) were found with the following expiration dates: three with an expiration date of
[DATE] (484 days expired) and three with an expiration date of March,2025 (119 days expired).2. Two
povidone -iodine swab sticks (two swab sticks per pack- an antiseptic prep used on the skin to decrease
risk of infection) were found with an expiration date of [DATE] (861 days expired).3. Eight Chlora prep triple
swab sticks (sterile skin antiseptic swab stick) were found with the following expiration dates: one with an
expiration date of [DATE] (908 days expired), Five with an expiration date of [DATE] ( 849 days expired),
one with an expiration date of [DATE] ( 605 days expired), and one with an expiration date of [DATE] (574
days expired).4. Five luer lock tip caps (tip used to keep material in a syringe or IV when not in use and
prevent contamination) were found with an expiration date of [DATE] (88 days expired).5. 24 red end caps
(end caps used to keep material in a syringe or IV, when not in use, protected and to prevent
contamination) were found with an expiration date of [DATE] (23 days expired).The DON acknowledged the
items in the IV cart were expired and should have been discarded. The DON further stated the license staff
are responsible for checking expiration date in the IV cart every shift. During an interview on [DATE], at 4:10
PM with the DON, the DON stated that the facility does not have a policy for supply storage and
management.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adequately protect and safeguard the
healthcare identifiable information for two out of 25 sampled residents (Resident 7 and 89) when on July
30, 2025, the laptop screen of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) (electronic form of record keeping)
used by Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) were:1. Left open, unsecured and unattended from 05:44 AM
to 5:47 AM, for a total of 3 minutes in the North hallway for Resident 7.2. Left open, unsecured and
unattended from 6:08 AM AM to 6:12 AM, for a total of 4 minutes in the North hallway for Resident 89. This
failure resulted in the exposure of health-related identifiable information for Residents 7 and 89 when
records were left unsecured and unattended in a location easily accessible to residents, visitors, and other
unauthorized individuals, which led to a breach of resident confidentiality, violations of resident's privacy,
potential loss of sensitive personal information.Findings:1. During an observation on July 30, 2025, at 5:44
AM, LVN 3 was in the North hallway preparing the morning medications for Resident 7. LVN 3 frequently
referred to the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) displayed on a laptop situated on top of the medication
cart. After performing hand hygiene and locking the medication cart, LVN 3 entered Resident 7's room
leaving the EMR laptop screen containing Resident 7's medical information open, unsecured, and
unattended. During an observation on July 30, 2025, at 5:47 AM, LVN 3 exited the Resident 7's room. Upon
stepping back into the hallway, LVN 3 realized that the EMR laptop screen was open and unsecured. LVN 3
immediately stated that she usually turns off or hides screens containing private information because she
understands the importance of protecting patient confidentiality and knows that leaving the screen open
constitutes a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA is a U.S. federal law enacted in
1996 and primarily aims to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the
patient's consent or knowledge) violation confirming she should have not left the EMP laptop screening
open, unsecured, and unattended. A review of the Resident 7's Face Sheet (document containing
demographic information) indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which
include this dysphasia (difficulty swallowing), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung diseases that
block airflow, making it difficult to breathe), hypertension (high blood pressure).A review of Resident 7's
History and Physical (H&P) dated April 2, 2025, indicated Resident 7 does not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.2. During an observation on July 30, 2025 at 6:08 AM, LVN 3 was
stationed on the North hallway. Further observation, LVN 3 unlocked the laptop screen situated on top of
the medication cart to check Resident 89's physician orders. LVN 3 left the North hallway, leaving the laptop
screen unlocked, unsecured, and unattended, with Resident 89's medical information visible to anyone
passing by. LVN 3 returned to the medication cart at 6:12 AM, explaining that she had gone to the nursing
station to wash her hands. LVN 3 confirmed the laptop screen remained open and acknowledged that she
had forgotten to lock it and secure it again. A review of the Resident 89's Face Sheet indicated Resident 89
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(lung diseases that block airflow, making it difficult to breathe), heart failure (a condition where the heart
muscle cannot pump blood effectively enough to meet the body's needs), diabetes mellitus (a disease that
occurs when your blood sugar is too high).A review of the resident 89's History and Physical (H&P) dated
May 21, 2025, indicated Resident 89 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.During
an interview with LVN 4 on July 31, 2025, at 10:22 AM, LVN 4 was asked how staff protect electronic
medical records from unauthorized viewing. LVN 4 explained she uses a lock button feature that

hides the screen when not in use and states she locks the screen every time she turns away or steps away
from the laptop. LVN 4 further emphasized the importance of adhering to stringent security protocols to
safeguard sensitive patient information. LVN 4 highlighted that consistently utilizing the lock button feature
significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to electronic medical records. LVN 4 underlined that
this practice is in accordance with HIPPA regulations which requires strict measures to protect patient
data.During an interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on July 31, 2025, at 10:33 AM, RN 1 was asked
how staff protect electronic medical records from unauthorized viewing. RN 1 explained her approach to
safeguarding electronic medical records (EMR) by completely turning off and logging out of computers
when stepping away, rather than just relying on privacy screens. She emphasized this practice is especially
important when using mobile computers for medication administration.During a concurrent interview and
record review on July 31, 2025, at 10:52 AM, with the administrator (ADMIN), the facility's Policy and
Procedure (P&P) titled, Safeguarding of Resident Identifiable Information, revised on December 19, 2022,
was reviewed. The P&P states, It is the facility's policy to implement reasonable and appropriate measures
to protect and maintain the safety and confidentiality of the resident's identifiable information and to
safeguard against destruction or unauthorized release of information and records. Policy explanation and
compliance guidelines: .4. Medical records shall not be left in open areas where unauthorized persons
could access identifiable resident information . 7. Computer screens showing clinical record information
may not be left unattended and readily observable or accessible by other residents or visitors. The ADMIN
confirmed that staff are expected to lock computers when stepping away to protect resident information.
The ADMIN confirmed LVN 3 did not follow the facility's P&P.During a concurrent interview and record
review on July 31, 2025, at 11:15 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the P&P titled, Safeguarding of
Resident Identifiable Information, revised on December 19, 2022, was reviewed. The P&P states, 4. Medical
records shall not be left in open areas where unauthorized persons could access identifiable resident
information . 7. Computer screens showing clinical record information may not be left unattended and
readily observable or accessible by other residents or visitors. The DON acknowledged LVN 3 did not follow
the facility's P&P.
