This failure had the potential to negatively affect the resident's psychosocial well-being. Findings: During an observation on 3/13/17 at 9:15 a.m., Resident 3 was lying in bed. The indwelling catheter's collection bag was attached to the side of her bed. The collection bag was not covered and its contents were visible. Resident 3's clinical record was reviewed and indicated she was admitted with left hemiplegia (weakness), hypertension, atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Her minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 2/27/17, indicated she had no cognitive impairment. An indwelling catheter was inserted due to neurogenic bladder (bladder dysfunction due to disease of the central nervous system). During an interview with registered nurse B (RN B) on 3/14/17 at 8:05 a.m., she stated urine collection bags for indwelling catheters should be covered. During an observation on 3/15/17 at 8:00 a.m., Resident 3 was lying in bed. The urine collection bag for her indwelling catheter was attached to the side of her bed.

Resident 5's risk for constipation care plan, dated 12/9/16, indicated, "Administer rectal tubes as ordered by MD". A physician's order, dated 2/27/17 at 1:30 p.m., indicated Resident 5 was to have a rectal tube inserted for abdominal girth (measurement of distance around the abdomen) greater than 120 centimeters (cm, a unit of measurement). A physician's order, dated 2/27/17 at 4:00 p.m., indicated Resident 5 was to be sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. A nurse's note, dated 2/27/17 at 6:44 p.m., signed by licensed vocational nurse D (LVN D), indicated Resident 5 was sent to the hospital because the cap of the rectal tube was dislodged in his rectum. During an interview with LVN D on 3/14/17 at 3:35 p.m., she confirmed she inserted the rectal tube for Resident 5. She stated there was a "blue part" on the tip of the rectal tube that she did not realize was a cap. LVN D stated she inserted the rectal tube, including the cap, and when she pulled the tube out, the cap remained in the resident's rectum.

She also stated she did not have any formal training on how to do it. LVN D explained that on the day of the incident, she asked nurses on the other units if they knew how to insert a rectal tube, but they told her they did not. LVN D stated that after the incident, the assistant director of nursing (ADON) instructed her not to perform any procedures she did not feel comfortable with. During an interview with registered nurse H (RN H) on 3/16/17 at 10:55 a.m., she stated she was working on the day of the incident involving Resident 5's rectal tube. She stated LVN D asked her if she had ever inserted a rectal tube for Resident 5, to which RN H replied, "No". During a telephone interview with RN G on 3/16/17 at 12:55 p.m., she stated she was also working on the date of the incident involving Resident 5's rectal tube. She stated LVN D asked her if she knew how to insert a rectal tube, and RN G replied, "No". RN G stated she had not received any in-service (training) about rectal tubes prior to the incident involving Resident 5. During an interview with the ADON on 3/15/17 at 1:20 p.m., she stated she was in the facility when LVN D inserted Resident 5's rectal tube. She explained that LVN D did not tell her about the rectal tube until after the incident occurred. The ADON stated LVN D should have informed her before attempting to insert the rectal tube, because LVN D had never done it before. The ADON stated, "I could have helped her". According to the ADON, she has instructed staff to ask for assistance with procedures they are unfamiliar with.

She stated that "a couple of years ago", another nurse inserted a rectal tube without removing the cap, and the cap remained in the resident's rectum. During an interview with the ADON on 3/16/17 at 8:25 a.m., she confirmed the same incident happened to Resident 5 once in the past. She stated she gave an in-service on rectal tubes "a couple of years ago", but did not give any rectal tube in-services during the time between the first incident and the most recent incident involving Resident 5. A history and physical (H&P) from the hospital, dated 2/27/17, indicated Resident 5 had a "dislodged plastic rectal tube left in his colon/rectum". The H&P indicated manual retrieval (removal using the hands) of the dislodged rectal tube could not be done. A consultation report from the hospital, dated 2/28/17, indicated Resident 5 had a computerized tomography scan (CT scan, a computerized X-ray image) done, which showed a 12 cm "foreign body" about 8 cm from the anus. The consultation report also indicated the resident would have a sigmoidoscopy (insertion of a flexible tube through the anus into part of the large intestine) to remove the "foreign body". A physician progress note from the hospital, dated 2/28/17, indicated Resident 5 had "discrete superficial ulcerations" of the rectum, and that the retained "foreign body" was removed with a roth net (a foreign body retrieval device). 2.

The label on the bottle of aspirin indicated the medication was an enteric coated tablet. RN B crushed the enteric coated aspirin, mixed it in water, and administered it to Resident 7 through a gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube inserted through the abdomen into the stomach). During an interview with RN B on 3/15/17 at 9:00 a.m., she confirmed she crushed the enteric coated aspirin she administered to Resident 7. RN B acknowledged she should not have crushed this medication. The facility's 5/2016 policy entitled "Medication Administration Enteral Tubes" indicated, "Do not crush the following types of medication: enteric coated, buccal or sublingual formulations, or sustained/extended release products". According to Lexicomp (lexi.com, an online nationwide source for drug information), enteric coated aspirin may reduce stomach irritation and/or stomach disturbances. Lexicomp further indicated enteric coated aspirin must be taken whole and not crushed or chewed.

LVN I stated he would notify the physician right away due to fluid retention. LVN I also stated he was unsure if the evening shift or the night shift nurse would tally the daily I & O's. During an interview with registered nurse J (RN J) on 3/15/17 at 7:50 a.m., he stated he was not aware of I & O discrepancies for the past week. He stated he never received any report from evening nurses about it. RN J was surprised of the discrepancies and stated he would notify the physician if there was a 500 mL discrepancy. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 3/15/17 at 4:38 p.m., she stated the facility would address the issue with intake and output monitoring of all concerned residents, including Resident 3. A review of the facility's undated "Hydration Protocol " policy indicated residents should be provided sufficient fluid intake to maintain hydration and health. Monitoring of I & O is an essential part of assessing residents' hydration status. A review of 2013 Mosby's Nursing Interventions and Clinical Skills, indicated measuring and recording I & O is necessary to assess fluid balance and requires critical thinking and knowledge application of a nurse. I & O is an important tool for nurses to assess signs and symptoms of dehydration and fluid overload.

The DON stated the medication needed to be "thrown out". She explained the medication should have either been thrown away or placed in a container designated for discontinued medications. According to the facility's 5/2016 "Medications and Medication Labels" policy, medication labels can only be modified by the dispensing pharmacy. The policy further indicates, "Medication labels are not altered, modified, or marked in any way by nursing personnel". 2. During an observation on 3/13/17 at 4:40 p.m., accompanied by the DON, there were two bottles of omeprazole (medication used to treat acid reflux) in MR B. Both bottles of omeprazole belonged to Resident 15. The label on the first bottle indicated the medication was supposed to be discarded in 10/2016. The label on the second bottle had an expiration date of 11/30/16. These dates were confirmed by the DON.

F517 04/12/2017 The facility must have detailed written plans and procedures to meet all potential emergencies and disasters, such as fire, severe weather, and missing residents. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure they were prepared for emergencies when there were ten boxes of expired water purification tablets (tablets intended to disinfect water by killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi) in their emergency disaster kit. This failure had the potential to compromise the health and safety of the residents, visitors, and staff members who would need drinking water from the facility's emergency water supply in the event of a disaster. Findings: The facility's 5/2015 "Disaster Kit" document indicated their emergency disaster kit was to have ten boxes of water purification tablets.

The kit contained ten boxes of Ef-Chlor water purification tablets. A manufacture date of 6/2013 was printed on all ten boxes. An expiration date of 5/2016 was also printed on all ten boxes. The ADON confirmed these dates. During an observation and concurrent interview with the ADON on 3/15/17 at 1:10 p.m., there were five blue tanks of emergency water located outside the facility near the kitchen. The ADON stated this water would be used for personal use, including drinking, in the event of an emergency. The ADON further explained that if water was taken from the tanks for drinking, it would need to be disinfected with the water purification tablets before being consumed. During an interview with the dietary supervisor (DS) on 3/15/17 at 1:15 p.m., he stated he did not have emergency bottled drinking water in the kitchen. The DS confirmed that in the event of an emergency or disaster, drinking water would be obtained from the tanks located outside the facility near the kitchen. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 2013 Food Code indicates that drinking water systems shall be disinfected after emergency situations that may contaminate the system.
