F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow up on the recommendation from the pharmacy consultant medication regimen review (MRR- a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication) for a laboratory monitoring, for one of five sampled residents (Resident 66) reviewed for potential unnecessary medications. For Resident 66, a blood test (HgA1c- also known as the hemoglobin A1C test-is a simple blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months) was not performed as recommended for the use of insulin. This deficient practice had the potential for unnecessary medication use leading to an adverse drug reaction (undesirable or non-therapeutic effect of the medication) which could result in harm and injuries to the resident. Findings: A review of admission Record indicated Resident 66 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Type 2 Diabetes (a chronic health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy), Acute Kidney Failure (occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood), Major Depressive Disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), Osteoporosis (a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bone changes),Dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), Alzheimer's Disease (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 2/17/2023, indicated Resident 66 was sometimes able to understand others and required extensive assistance (resident able to participate in activity) with one person assist for toilet use and personal hygiene. A review of the Pharmacy consultant medication regimen review (MRR) dated 1/04/2023, indicated the recommendation to order laboratory testing. The MRR further indicated This resident has orders for sliding scale insulin Aspart (a rapid acting, human insulin that the FDA approved for the treatment of type-1 and type-2 diabetes) three times a day, before meal and at bedtime. The new Beer's Criteria recommends avoidance of sliding scale insulin in all care settings due to a higher risk of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose, or blood sugar) without improvement in hypoglycemia management. There was neither documentation that the physician was notified, nor any other evidence a laboratory testing was done. During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 2:15 p.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed Resident 66's medical records and verified there were no orders or progress notes for the follow up of MRR recommendation made on 1/4/2023, for a HgA1c lab testing.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the menu portions sizes during lunch tray services by not using the correct size serving utensil for Kimchi (a traditional Korean side dish of salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish) resulting in 40 out of 40 residents on regular texture diet not receiving the correct portion size.

F 0925 Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility was free from the cockroach infestations. Residents Affected - Some These deficient practices had the potential to result in sickness among 111 residents in the facility due to the bacteria carried by cockroaches, which were observed in the kitchen and one resident room. Findings: A review of the undated article entitled Effective Management of Cockroach Infestations from the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Vector Management Program indicated, Cockroaches are nocturnal .and most like warm hiding places with access to water. The article indicated monitoring cockroaches included Common signs to watch for are fecal matter (e.g., dark sports or smears), cast skins (shed skin when an immature cockroach grows), egg cases, and live or dead cockroaches. During an initial tour on 3/14/2023 at 11:30 AM in one of resident rooms, two live cockroaches were observed on the floor next to the resident's bed. During a kitchen tour on 3/15/2023 at 11:45 AM, one live cockroach was observed in a bait trap under the sink and two live cockroaches were observed in a second bait trap under the sink. During a concurrent interview with Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated that he was unaware of any cockroaches in the traps and was informed of what traps the cockroaches were in. A review of the Pest Control Services Report from the facility dated 3/16/2023 at 5:34 AM, indicated a service technician inspected the facility and indicated, found American roach activity in the kitchen device, inspected, all areas for possible activity no signs of pest activity found. Will highly recommend for the kitchen back door exit to dumpster/alley way be fixed; door has openings around the frame.
