census at the time of the survey was 50. The
sample size was 13.
For Entity Reported Incident CA00524348
regarding Quality of Care/Treatment, a federal
deficiency was identified (see F281). A Class
"B" citation was issued for F281.

when the urine collection bag for Resident 3's
indwelling catheter (a flexible tube inserted and
left in the bladder to provide drainage of urine)
was not concealed from public view. 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

intended to discreetly hide a urine collection
bag from public view) was attached to Resident
3's wheelchair, which was in the hallway
outside her room.

stomach irritation) and administered it to
Resident 7.
These practices resulted in Resident 5 needing
to be hospitalized and undergo a procedure to

Findings:
1. Resident 5's clinical record indicated he was
admitted on 1/28/14 with diagnoses of
transverse myelitis (inflammation of the spinal
cord), paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and
lower body), ogilvie syndrome (distension of
the colon in the absence of obstruction), and
neurogenic bladder (bladder dysfunction due to
disease of the central nervous system).
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.
During the same interview, LVN D stated she

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.

3:50 p.m., she stated the same incident
occurred with Resident 5 once in the past. 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).

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

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

Resident 3 was lying in bed. The urine
collection bag for her indwelling catheter (a

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). There was a care
plan initiated on 5/24/16 "Potential for UTI
(urinary tract infection) due to indwelling
catheter". Interventions included: encourage
up to 2 liters of fluid per day, monitor intake and
output (I & O), and notify physician if there
were signs and symptoms of UTI like
abdominal discomfort and cloudy urine.
During an interview with Resident 3 on 3/14/17

(milliliters = a unit of liquid measurement) to

and only 800 mL output, a difference of 570

physician was contacted. 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.

to treat fungal infections) in medication room A
(MR A). The name of the resident the
medication was intended for had been crossed
off the label with a black marker. This was
confirmed by LVN C.
During an observation and concurrent interview
with the director of nursing (DON) on 3/13/17 at

powder and confirmed the resident's name was
crossed off the label. 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.
During an interview with the DON on the same

omeprazole should have been placed either in
a container designated for discontinued
medications, or in a container designated for
medication waste.

a.m., registered nurse B (RN B) was preparing
to administer medications to Resident 16. With
ungloved hands, RN B took Resident 16's
blood pressure using an electronic blood
pressure cuff (BP cuff, a flexible cuff applied to
the arm that is used to measure blood
pressure). After obtaining Resident 16's blood
pressure, RN B removed the BP cuff and
prepared the medications. RN B did not wash
or sanitize (to make clean) her hands before
handling Resident 16's medications.
During an interview with RN B on 3/14/17 at
9:00 a.m., she confirmed she did not wash or
sanitize her hands after taking Resident 16's
blood pressure and before handling her
medications. RN B stated she should have
washed her hands.
According to the facility's 1/2010 "Hand
Hygiene Program" policy, hand hygiene
(washing or sanitizing the hands) is required
"upon and after coming in contact with a
resident's intact skin (e.g., when taking a pulse
or blood pressure, and lifting a resident)".
2. During an observation on 3/15/17 at 8:30
a.m., RN B was preparing to administer
medications to Resident 7. RN B took
Resident 7's blood pressure using an electronic
BP cuff. RN B did not disinfect (to clean
something in order to destroy bacteria) the
electronic BP cuff before or after taking
resident 7's blood pressure.
During an interview with RN B on 3/15/17 at

During an observation of the supply room on
3/15/17 at 11:30 a.m., accompanied by the
assistant director of nursing (ADON), the
facility's emergency disaster kit was inspected.
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.
