F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to assess 2 of 12 sampled residents' (Resident 7 and Resident 39) ability to self-administer medications when the facility did not: Residents Affected - Few 1. Assess the ability of Resident 7, who had a right-sided impairment due to stroke and was permitted to self-administer his own eye drops. 2. Re-assess the ability of Resident 39, following Resident 39's development of visual and cognitive impairments. This failure had the potential to negatively affect eye health for Resident 7 and Resident 39. Findings: 1. During a clinical record review for Resident 7, the Face sheet (A summary of important information about a resident) indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and Cerebral Infarction (also known as stroke). During a clinical record review for Resident 7, the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool completed by clinical staff to identify potential resident problems, strengths, and preferences) dated 7/8/21 indicated Resident 7 had functional limitation to upper and lower extremity on one side of the body that interfered with his daily functions During an observation and concurrent interview with Licensed Staff A on 1/12/22 at 9:30 a.m., an empty box of Olopatadine eye drop (used to relieve itchy eyes) for Resident 7 was found in the top drawer of the medication cart. Licensed Staff A stated Resident 7 self-administered his own eye drops and kept his eye drops in his bedside drawer. During an interview with Management Staff F on 1/12/22 at 2:53 p.m., Management Staff F stated the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team - group of health care professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of the resident) would complete a self-administration of medication assessment to residents to determine if the resident could self-administer his/her own medication. Management Staff F stated there was no self-administration of medication assessment for Resident 7, but the IDT agreed that Resident 7 can self-administer his own eye drops. During an interview and concurrent observation with Licensed Staff B on 1/12/22 at 3:01 p.m. in Resident 7's room, Licensed Staff B stated she did not know where Resident 7 kept his eye drops. When Licensed Staff B asked Resident 7 where he kept his eye drops, Resident 7 made a gesture pointing at (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide respiratory care and service in accordance with professional scope of practice to one resident (Resident 149) who received oxygen therapy. This failure resulted in unlicensed staff working outside their scope of practice, and had the potential to result in Resident 149 receiving an inappropriate amount of oxygen. Residents Affected - Few Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/10/22, at 11:37 a.m., Resident 149 was observed sitting on a wheelchair with oxygen via mask that was switched by Unlicensed Staff E from oxygen concentrator (medical device that gives oxygen) to oxygen tank with a flow rate of three liters-per-minute. Resident 149 stated CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistant) usually switch his oxygen from concentrator to tank. Unlicensed Staff E stated she switched oxygen administration from concentrator to tank whenever the resident needed to go out of the room. During an interview on 1/13/22, at 2:40 p.m., Licensed Staff A stated the applicable standard of practice required licensed nurses to switch oxygen administration from a concentrator to an oxygen tank. Licensed Staff A stated it would be a problem if CNAs administered oxygen therapy because they did not know how much oxygen flow rate to administer, and it would affect resident's breathing. During an interview on 1/12/22, at 8:42 a.m., Management Staff F stated licensed nurses were responsible to switch oxygen therapy from concentrator to tank because it was a treatment and CNAs should not be changing tubing or switching them.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate below 5%, when the manufacturer specifications for administration of medication for 2 of 25 medications administered during an observed medication pass was not followed. This failure resulted in a 8% medication error rate, and had the potential to result in administration of subtherapeutic (e.g., lower than that prescribed to treat a disease effectively) doses of medication. Residents Affected - Some Findings: 1. During an observation on 1/11/22 at 9:11 a.m. in Resident 30's room, Licensed Staff A instructed Resident 30 prior to medication administration of Asmanex HFA (help control and prevent asthma) to breath deep, hold for 10 seconds and breath out. Licensed Staff A puffed the inhaler and removed the inhaler from Resident 30's mouth right away with no wait time. Resident 30 held her breath for a few seconds with open mouth and breathed out through her mouth. Review of the medication insert for Asmanex HFA indicated, when you have finished breathing in, hold your breathe as long as you comfortably can, up to 10 seconds. Then remove the inhaler from your mouth and breathe out through you nose, while keeping your lips closed. During an interview with Licensed Staff A on 1/11/22 at 2:20 p.m. Licensed Staff A stated she was not aware that she had to leave the inhaler in Resident 30's mouth for at least 10 seconds. She stated she was not aware that Resident 30 was supposed to breath out thru her nose and not her mouth. Review of the Facility policy and procedure titled Administering Medications through Metered Dose Inhaler revised in 10/2010 indicated in procedure #14: - Instruct the resident to inhale deeply and hold for several seconds. - Remove the mouthpiece from the mouth and instruct the resident to exhale slowly through pursed lip. 2. During an observation on 1/11/22 at 11:24 a.m., in Resident 27's room, after checking Resident 27's blood sugar, Licensed Staff G stated Resident 27's blood sugar level was 261 and prepared 10 units of Novolog insulin injection according to doctor's order for administration. Resident 27 was turned on his left side and kept still during the procedure. Licensed Staff G injected the insulin to Resident 27's right arm and pulled out the needle right after with no wait time. Review of the medication insert for Novolog (Aspart insulin injection) indicated under step 11, insert the needle into your skin. Push down the plunger to inject your dose. The needle should remain in the skin for at least 6 seconds to make sure you have injected all the insulin. During an interview with Licensed Staff G on 1/11/22 at 12:38 p.m. Licensed Staff G stated she was aware that she was supposed to leave the needle in the skin at least 6 seconds after injecting the insulin to make sure Resident 27 got all the insulin. She stated she did not leave the needle because Resident 27 started getting agitated and looked uncomfortable.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 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, interviews, and record review, the facility did not ensure that 2 of 2 refrigerated vaccines (Influenza and Pneumococcal) were stored at the temperature required to maintain their overall safety and effectiveness. This had the potential to reduce the effectiveness of vaccines stored at the facility for administration to residents residing at the facility. Findings: During an observation and concurrent interview with Licensed Staff B on 1/11/21 at 2:31 p.m., the glass thermometer in the medication room refrigerator indicated a temperature of 36°F (degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature scale). Inside the refrigerator had three boxes of influenza vaccine, a vial of pneumococcal vaccine, a vial of tuberculin and a vial of insulin. The vials for influenza and pneumococcal vaccine indicated to be stored between 36°F to 46°. Licensed Staff B stated licensed nurses checked the med room refrigerator once a day. During a record review and concurrent interview with Management Staff F on 1/11/21 at 2:48 p.m., the Medication Room Fridge Temperature Log indicated, Refrigerator Temperature Range should be less than 41°F. The temperature log indicated the refrigerator temperature was below 36°F on the following dates: 28°F on January 1, 2022 28°F on January 2, 2022 26°F on January 3, 2022 34°F on January 6, 2022 34°F on January 8, 2022 34°F on January 9, 2022 34°F on January 10, 2022 Management Staff F stated she did not know temperature for the medication room refrigerator should be maintained between 36°F to 46°F and did not know temperature for refrigerated vaccines should be checked twice a day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised to never freeze refrigerated vaccines and to check and record min/max temperature at the start of the workday. For thermometer that does not display min/max temperatures, check and record current temperature at a minimum of 2 times a day (at start and end of workday).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement infection prevention and control practices for two residents (Resident 21 and Resident 16) when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Licensed Staff did not perform proper hand hygiene during wound care. 2. Facility staff placed a meal tray for lunch on an unsanitized bedside table with a quarter-filled urinal on it. These failures created a risk for cross-contamination (transfer of bacteria or other microorganisms from one substance to another) that could result in serious illness. Findings: 1. During an observation on 1/14/22, at 9:19 a.m., Licensed Staff G was observed performing Resident 21's wound care. Licensed Staff G was observed donning (put on) gloves, cleansed the left buttock wound, then doff gloves (remove), and went to the bathroom and took clean pairs of gloves without performing hand hygiene. Then Licensed Staff G went back to Resident 21's bedside and sanitized her hands, don gloves and applied the Calmoseptine (medication) and dressing to the left buttock and doff gloves. Licensed Staff G did not sanitize her hands after doffing gloves and touched the microphone on her neck/chest area to call for assistance. Licensed Staff G threw away the soiled dressing and treatment supplies used for wound care. Licensed Staff G brought the unused dressing and placed it on top of the treatment cart and sanitized her hands. Then Licensed Staff G went to the nursing station and brought the unused dressing and placed it on the table and stated, it was clean, and proceeded to wash her hands.

During an interview on 1/14/22, at 9:32 a.m., Licensed Staff G was asked about hand hygiene practices during wound care, and she stated she should have sanitized her hands after doffing gloves and when she switched from contaminated area to clean area to prevent cross-contamination. Licensed Staff G was asked about their process for unused dressing, and she stated she was supposed to toss it, but she did not do it. A review of facility's INFECTION PREVENTION-HAND HYGIENE policy and procedure undated, it indicated, 4. Use an alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 62% alcohol; or, alternatively, soap (antimicrobial or non-antimicrobial) and water for the following situations: g. Before handling clean or soiled dressings, gauze, etc.; h. Before moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care; k. After handling used dressings, contaminated equipment, etc.; m. After removing gloves; 6. The use of gloves does not replace hand washing/hand hygiene . 2. During a clinical record review for Resident 16, the Face sheet (A one-page summary of important information about a resident. It includes resident identification, past medical history, allergies, insurance status, or other pertinent information) indicated Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down, including the trunk, legs, and arms) and Need for assistance with personal care. During an observation on 1/10/22 at 10:20 a.m., Resident 16 was in bed with his head of bed elevated, asleep. There was an empty urinal on top of his bedside table near his water pitcher.
