Review of Resident 20's medical record was
initiated on 9/3/19. Resident 20 was
readmitted to the facility on 7/31/11, and
readmitted on 8/3/19.
Review of Resident 20's Nursing Admission
Data Collection dated 8/3/19, Section B
Communication/Hearing/Vision, showed
Resident 20's ability to hear was adequate.
Review of Resident 20's MDS dated 8/10/19,
under Section B (Hearing, Speech and Vision),
showed Resident 20's ability to hear was
adequate (no difficulty in normal conversation,
social interaction, listening to TV).

show a care plan problem to address Resident
20' s difficulty hearing, and the use of a hearing
device with amplifier. The care plan failed to
address a communication deficit related to
hearing impaired, and the interventions to
assist with the use of hearing appliance/hearing
aids as needed.
On 9/5/19 at 1350 hours, an interview and

§483.25(b) Skin Integrity
§483.25(b)(1) Pressure ulcers.
Based on the comprehensive assessment of a
resident, the facility must ensure that(i) A resident receives care, consistent with
professional standards of practice, to prevent
pressure ulcers and does not develop pressure
ulcers unless the individual's clinical condition
demonstrates that they were unavoidable; and
(ii) A resident with pressure ulcers receives
necessary treatment and services, consistent
with professional standards of practice, to
promote healing, prevent infection and prevent
new ulcers from developing.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to ensure the
necessary care and services were provided to
prevent the development of the pressure ulcers
to two of 12 final sampled residents (Residents
21 and 4). Residents 21 and 4 were admitted
to the facility without pressure ulcers but
developed pressure ulcers after admission to
the facility.
* Resident 21 developed a right heel Stage 3
pressure ulcer discovered on 9/4/19. The
facility failed to ensure Resident 21's right heel
was offloaded (floated off the mattress) to
prevent further deterioration of the Stage 3
pressure ulcer on the right heel. This resulted
in Resident 21's right heel developing a black
blister with non-blanchable (deep tissue injury)
discovered on 9/6/19, next to the current
wound. The facility failed to assess the new
pressure ulcer, notify the physician to obtain a
wound treatment order, notify the family, and

* Resident 4 developed an unstageable
pressure ulcer while at the facility. The facility
failed to carry out the repeated orders from the
Wound Specialist for a change in the treatment
of resident 4's wound. The facility failed to
carry out a physician's order to not let Resident
4 sit in the wheelchair for more than an hour
each time. In addition, the wound assessments
by the licensed nurses did not match the
assessments completed by the Wound
Specialist.
Findings:
The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel
released definitions of pressure ulcers on April
13, 2016. They are as follows:
- Stage 2: partial-thickness loss of skin with
exposed dermis. The wound bed is viable, pink
or red, moist, and may also present as an intact
or ruptured serum-filled blister. Adipose (fat) is
not visible and deeper tissues are not visible.
- Stage 3: full-thickness loss of skin, in which
adipose is visible in the ulcer and granulation
tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are
often present. Slough and/or eschar (dead
tissue) may be visible.
- Deep Tissue Injury (DTI): intact or non-intact
skin with localized area of persistent nonblanchable deep red, maroon, purple
discoloration or epidermal separation revealing
a dark wound bed or blood filled blister. This
injury results from intense and/or prolonged
pressure and shear forces at the bone-muscle
interface.
1. Medical record review for Resident 21 was
initiated on 9/3/19. Resident 21 was admitted
to the facility on 3/19/13, and readmitted on
8/10/19, without a pressure ulcer.

§483.25(d)(2)Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to ensure the
fall interventions were in place for one of 12
final sampled residents (Residents 10).
Resident 10 did not have floor mats in place as
per the plan of care. This failure had the
potential of not protecting the resident from
injury related to any future falls.
Findings:
On 9/3/19 at 0924 hours, an observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with
Resident 10. Resident 10 was observed in bed
with the bed in the low position. A yellow star
was noted by his name on the outside of his
room. Resident 10 stated he had two recent
falls at the facility. The resident stated, after
the second fall, he was sent to the hospital for
an injury to his abdomen. Resident 10 was
asked if anything had been done by the facility
to prevent him from falling again. Resident 10
stated the only thing he knew was previously,
he had floor mats in his room. No floor mats
were observed on either side of Resident 10's
bed.
Medical record review for Resident 10 was
initiated on 9/3/19. Resident 10 was admitted
to the facility on 6/24/19, and readmitted on
8/16/19. Review of the History and Physical
examination from the acute care hospital dated
8/14/19, showed Resident 10 had a history
right sided weakness of the lower extremity.

the residents who were admitted with central
vascular access devices, including the PICC
line were not assessed, the dressing changes
were not done, the external length of the
catheter and arm circumference was not
measured on admission. The DCS stated
there were three residents (Residents 9, 16,
and 281) who currently had PICC lines.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Measuring
External Catheter Length with Central Vascular
Access Devices dated 11/2018 showed when
measuring external catheter length, measure
from the hub (point where the catheter width
increases) of the catheter to the insertion site of
the catheter. Measuring the external catheter
length and comparing to the external catheter
length at insertion will confirm the catheter's tip
has remained in the SVC (superior vena cava,
large vein that carries blood into the heart). If
the baseline was documented at 1 cm upon
insertion, and the measurement just taken was
4 cm, do not use the catheter until an x-ray
confirms the tip placement is located in the
SVC.
According to Taylor's Clinical Nursing Skills,
third edition, if a patient has a PICC in place,
measure the length of the catheter that extends
from the insertion site. Measurement of the
extending catheter can be compared with the
documented length at the time of insertion to
assess if the catheter has migrated inward or
moved outward.
On 9/9/19 at 0704 hours, the DCS provided
copies of her assessments of the PICC line
access sites for Residents 9, 16, 281, and

she measured the external catheter length by
measuring from the insertion site all the way to
tip of the infusion cap. The DCS stated she
measured "...the whole length" of the catheter.
The DCS was asked if she had noted the
discrepancies of her measurements of the
external length of the catheter for Residents 9
and 281 with the previous measurements
obtained on admission. The DCS had no
answer. The DCS reviewed the admission
assessments for Residents 9 and 281, and
stated she was not aware of this. The DCS
stated it was her first time to obtain
measurements of the external length of a
PICC, so she did not realize the discrepancy.
The DCS stated she did not know why her
measurements were longer than the previous

access site was covered with a transparent
dressing. The insertion site was not visible
because it was covered with a biopatch (a
polyurethane foam disc containing
chlorhexidine, used to prevent infection). The
DCS was observed to start measuring the
external catheter length without removing the
transparent dressing. The DCS measured the
entire length of the catheter up to the tip of the
catheter cap. The DCS stated she measured
the external length of the catheter at 13 cm.
When asked to measure from the insertion site
to the hub, the DCS obtained a measurement
of 1.5 cm.
b. On 9/9/19 at 0827 hours, observation of the
measurement of the external catheter length of
Resident 9's PICC was conducted with RN 2.
Resident 9 was observed with a PICC line to
the right upper arm. RN 2 measured the
external length of the catheter from the
insertion site up to the infusion port. RN 2
stated she measured the external length of the
catheter at 9.5 cm. When asked if she had
received an in-service on the management of
central vascular access devices, including how
to measure the external length of the catheter,
RN 2 stated she was trained by RN 1.

measurement of the external catheter length of
Resident 332's PICC was conducted with RN
1. RN 1 stated she was the facility's IV nurse
today for the 0700 to 1500 hours shift.
Resident 332 was observed with a PICC line to
the right upper arm. RN 1 measured the
external length of the catheter from the

today, she was supposed to measure up to the

consistent, she followed how RN 2 was doing
it.
Review of the employees' in-services and
trainings failed to show an in-service or training

facility.
On 9/9/19 at 1545 hours, an interview was
conducted with the Executive Director and the
DCS. The Executive Director and the DCS
were notified and acknowledged the above
findings. The DCS verified there was no inservice or training provided to the RNs,
including herself, regarding CVAD
management and how to measure the external
length of the catheter. The DCS stated it was
her first time measuring the external length of
the catheter so she thought she did it correctly.

* Residents 3 and 25 were receiving Remeron
(antidepressant medication) for depression
manifested by poor appetite. The facility failed
to accurately monitor the number of episodes in
which Residents 3 and 25 had poor meal
intake. This posed the risk of Residents 3' s
and 25's physicians not having the necessary
information to determine the effectiveness of
the Remeron.
Findings:
1. Medical record review for Resident 25 was
initiated on 9/3/19. Resident 25 was admitted
to the facility on 7/22/19.
Review of the Medication Review Report
showed a physician's order dated 8/2/19, for
Remeron 15 mg, give one tablet by mouth at
bedtime for depression manifested by poor oral
intake. There was no parameter as to what
percentage of meal intake would be considered
poor meal intake.
Review of the Medication Administration
Record and CNAs documentation of meal
intake for August and September 2019 showed
multiple inconsistencies in the monitoring of
Resident 25's meal intake. For example, on
9/1/19, the CNA's documentation showed
Resident 25 refused dinner; however, the
licensed nurses documented Resident 25 ate
80% of dinner. On 9/3/19, the CNA
documented zero (0-25% of the meal was
eaten) for breakfast and coded one (26 to 50%
of the meal was eaten) for lunch. However, the
licensed nurses documented 50% for breakfast
and 60% for lunch.
Further review of the Medication Administration
Record showed monitoring of poor oral intake
by tally hashmarks every shift. The

foods for one of 12 final sampled residents
(Resident 26) was consistent with the
residents' needs and preferences. This failure
had the potential for adverse reactions and
negatively impact the residents' well-being.
Findings:
On 9/3/19 at 1227 hours, Resident 26 was
observed eating lunch in her room. Resident
26 showed her menu, which had a diet order of
regular, no salt at the table. Resident 26 stated
she had requested small portions and written
no yogurt on her menu. Resident 26's lunch
tray was observed as a regular diet with normal
portion sizes of food and yogurt on the tray.
Resident 26 stated she was upset the dietary
staff had not honored her wishes as written on
her menu. Resident 26 stated she had made
several requests to both dietary staff and the
nursing staff for smaller portions and no yogurt.
Resident 26 stated she felt as if the dietary
and nursing staff did not listen to her request.
Resident 26 stated receiving the extra food and
yogurt made her feel frustrated.
Medical record review for Resident 26 was

done after combing hair.
Review of the facility's P&P Washing and
Sanitizing dishes dated 2005 and last revised
2018 showed proper hand washing technique
or sanitizer must be used between the handling
of soiled and clean dishes.
On 9/4/19 at 1014 hours, an observation of the
dish staff occurred with the Director of Dining
Services. Dishwasher 1 was observed taking a
dirty dish rack with silverware and placing the
rack on the clean side of the dish washer, next
to clean pans. The Director of Dining Services
stated to prevent cross-contamination, dirty
dish racks do not go on the clean side of the
dish machine. The Director of Dining Services
verified the findings.

On 9/3/19 at 0800 hours, during the initial
kitchen tour, an observation and concurrent
interview was conducted with the Director of
Dining Services of the garbage area near the
kitchen. An observation of Dumpsters 1 and 2
found both dumpsters' lids were propped open
by trash bags full of garbage, preventing the
lids from fully closing. Eight white garbage
bags were observed on the ground near and in
front of both Dumpsters 1 and 2. An additional
grey garbage can with overflowing trash was
also noted. Multiple stacks of card board
boxes were observed on the ground next to the
recycle dumpster. The Director of Dining

2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Central
Vascular Access device (CVAD) dressing
change, revised date 5/2015, showed the
catheter insertion site is a potential entry site
for bacteria which may cause a catheter-related
infection. Licensed nurses caring for patients
receiving infusion therapies are expected to
follow infection control and safety compliance
procedures. This expectation included the use
of a sterile drape to set up the sterile field, two
masks, (one for the nurse and the other for the
resident) a sterile, transparent dressing, a
sterile measuring tape and sterile gloves.
On 9/9/19 at 0811 hours, an observation of
Resident 281's external catheter PICC line
measurement was conducted with the DCS.
The DCS was observed with a measuring tape
and donning sterile gloves. The DCS was
observed measuring the external catheter
length of Resident 281's PICC line without
removing the dressing. The puncture site was
not visible to the eyes. The DCS was asked
how to visualize and measure the correct
length for the external catheter when the clean
bandage obscured the puncture site and part of
the PICC line. The DCS was observed
changing her gloves and donning clean, nonsterile gloves. The DCS was observed opening
the PICC line dressing. No sterile field was
established. No drape was applied to Resident
281. The DSC did not don a mask or ask the
resident to turn their head away from the
dressing. The DSC, using the same measuring
tape, measured the length and provided her
measurement. The DSC placed the dressing
back onto Resident 281's arm and did not
apply a new one.

reported to the Infection Control Committee
due to not accurately identifying infections.
* The facility failed to develop an action plan to
address the increase in the number of incidents
of HAI. This had the potential for the spread of
infections in the facility.
Findings:
According to the CDC, repeated and/or
improper use of antibiotics was the primary
cause of the proliferation of drug-resistant
bacteria. Each time a person uses antibiotics,
the sensitive bacteria are killed; however,
resistant bacteria may result. These resistant
bacteria may then grow and multiply. When
the antibiotics fail to work, the consequences
include longer lasting illnesses, extended
hospital stays, and the need for more
expensive and toxic medications. Some
resistant infections can even cause death.
On 9/10/19 at 0744 hours, an interview and
concurrent review of the facility's antibiotic
stewardship program was conducted with the
ADCS who was also the facility's designated
Infection Control Nurse. The ADCS stated she
was responsible for the facility's infection
control and antibiotic stewardship program. The
ADCS stated the facility utilized the McGeer's
Criteria to define infection surveillance
activities.
1. Review of the facility's infection surveillance
and logs from March to June 2019 showed
there were no incidence of antibiotic use not
meeting the McGeer's criteria in the facility.
The ADCS stated if the onset of symptoms of
infection occurred 48 hours after admission, the
infection was considered as HAI. The ADCS
stated these included antibiotics prescribed for
prophylaxis use.

Review of the Surveillance Data Collection
Forms showed the incidents of infections were
not accurately classified as HAI as per the
McGeer's criteria.
For example, review of Resident 21's
Surveillance Data Collection Form dated
8/23/19, showed Resident 21 was prescribed
an antibiotic for a UTI (urinary tract infection)
without an indwelling catheter. Resident 21
had a microbiologic test result of at least
100,000 cfu/ml of any organism; however,
there were no other symptoms per the
McGeer's criteria. Resident 21's infection was
identified as a HAI.
Review of the QA (Quality Assurance) - July
2019 (summary of incidents of infections
reported to QA) showed there were 11 HAIs eight UTIs and one respiratory; however,
review of the infection line listing showed there
were 15 HAIs. The ADCS verified she did not
report the correct number of incidence of
infections. Further review showed eight out of
15 did not have symptoms meeting the
McGeer's Criteria. For example, Resident 286
was prescribed an antibiotic for a UTI with
indwelling catheter on 7/11/19. Resident 286
did not have any symptoms and a urinary
specimen culture with at least 100,000 cfu/ml
of any organism per the McGeer's Criteria.
Resident 286's signs/symptoms was identified
as a HAI.
Review of the line listing for June 2019 showed
there were 12 HAIs. However, eight of 12 did
not have symptoms meeting the McGeer's
Criteria. Further review showed an incorrect
criteria was used for the residents' symptoms

Resident 287 was prescribed an antibiotic for
UTI on 6/30/19. Review of the Surveillance

Data Collection Form dated 6/30/19, showed
criteria for Other Infections was utilized.
Resident 287 had a fever and a urinary
specimen culture with at least 100,000 cfu/ml
of any organism. The ADCS stated the
licensed nurses filled out the Surveillance Data
Collection Form based on the residents'
symptoms and the reason for the antibiotic use.
The ADCS stated she based her line listing on
the forms utilized by the licensed nurses, even
though they were incorrect.
Review of the QA - May 2019 showed there
were nine HAIs for May 2019; however, review
of the line listing showed there were eight HAIs
and two symptoms of infection not meeting the
McGeer's Criteria. The ADCS stated she
identified all infections whose onset of
symptoms occurred 48 hours after admission
as HAIs, even though these symptoms did not
meet the McGeer's Criteria. When asked why,
the ADCS stated if the infection was not a CAI,
then it was a HAI. This was the reason why
there were no incidents of infections not
meeting the McGeer's Criteria reported to the
infection control committee and the QA.
Review of the Infection Control Minutes for
April 2019 showed there were 11 HAIs reported
for the month. However, review of the line
listing showed there were 10 HAIs and one
incident of infection whose symptoms did not
meet the McGeer's Criteria. Further review
showed six of 11 incidents of infections did not
have symptoms meeting the McGeer's Criteria.
For example, Resident 288 was prescribed
antibiotics for pneumonia on 4/28/19, however,
review of the Surveillance Data Collection Form
dated 4/28/19, showed Resident 288 had an
oxygen saturation of less than 94%, but did not
have a chest x-ray demonstrating pneumonia
or the presence of new infiltrate and at least
one McGeer's constitutional Criteria.
