This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review the facility failed to monitor the warm
compress applied on Resident 12's abdominal
area. This failure resulted in Resident 12
sustaining a second degree burn (an injury to
the outer and middle layers of the skin) on his
abdomen.
Findings:
Review of Resident 12's clinical record on
2/26/18, indicated he was readmitted to the
facility on 12/31/17 with diagnoses including
paraplegia (an impairment in motor or sensory
function of the lower extremities). His brief
interview of mental status (BIMS, cognitive
performance) dated 12/13/17, indicated
Resident 12 was cognitively intact.
Review of Resident 12's Situation, Background,
Appearance, and Review (SBAR, an
assessment tool used to facilitate prompt and
appropriate communication of a problem),
indicated on 2/11/18, at 11:30 p.m., Resident
12 complained of pain to his right abdominal
area. Licensed vocational nurse E (LVN E)
administered pain medication and applied a
warm compress on the affected area.
Review of the SBAR dated 2/13/18, indicated
two blisters (bubble on the skin filled with
serum and caused by friction, burning, or other
damage) measuring 3.0 centimeters x 2.0
centimeters (cm, a unit of measurement) and
1.0 cm x 2.0 cm on the right lower abdominal
area with redness on the surrounding areas.
Treatment order included application of silver
sulfadiazine (a topical antibiotic used in partial
thickness and full thickness burns to prevent
infection) daily and cover with sterile dressing
for 14 days.

Review of Interdisciplinary Progress Notes
dated 2/13/18, indicated Resident 12 sustained
a second degree burn to the right lower side of
his abdomen. The clinical record also indicated
that when Resident 12 complained of
discomfort, the charge nurse heated a sheet in
a plastic bag and placed it on Resident 12's
abdomen. Resident 12 was half asleep and did
not feel discomfort. The bag was not removed
until the following morning.
Review of Physician's Progress Notes dated
2/12/18, indicated Resident 12 had a second
degree burn to the right abdominal area.
During an observation on 2/26/18, at 9:34 a.m.,

scabs surrounded by pinkish discoloration in
the abdominal area.
During an interview with Resident 12, on
2/26/18, at 9:59 a.m., he stated he was having
pain on his right abdomen. LVN E told him he
would be given a heating pad. He
acknowledged he was half asleep and did not
feel the heat when LVN E applied the warm
compress on his stomach. Resident 12 stated
LVN E did not check him until the next
morning. He also stated "one of the certified
nursing assistants (CNA) found something on
my abdomen the following morning" and when
Resident 12 looked at it, he saw blisters on his
stomach.
During an interview with the director of nursing
(DON), on 2/26/18, at 12:31 p.m., she indicated
there was no facility policy and procedure for
applying a heating pad or warm compress. The

Findings:
1. During an observation of the breakfast trayline preparation on 2/27/18, at 7:35 a.m., in the
kitchen, a stand fan on the corner of the kitchen
was on and blowing air towards the window of
the sink area. The fan had grey particles.
During an interview with the dietary manager
(DM) on 2/27/18, at 3:50 p.m., he stated
maintenance was in charge of cleaning the
fans. He confirmed the fan in the kitchen had
grey particles and will need to be taken out.
2. During the initial kitchen tour observation
with the DM on 2/26/18, at 7:41 a.m., five
plastic spatulas with rough uneven edges were
found in the kitchen utensil bin. He stated the
plastic spatulas with the uneven surfaces
should be thrown away.

§483.60(i)(4)- Dispose of garbage and refuse
properly.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to dispose of garbage
properly when one of the two dumpsters was
full and staff was unable to close the dumpster
lid. This failure had the potential to result in
unsanitary environment for the residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview
with the dietary manager (DM) on 2/26/18, at
8:11 a.m., one of the two dumpsters in the
back of the building for kitchen and facility use
had a lid that was unable to close because it
was full. He stated it was full and was unable to
close the lid. He stated the dumpster was
picked up once a week.
A review of the facility policy and procedure
titled "Garbage and Rubbish Disposal," dated
7/2008, indicated the facility's outside
dumpsters provided by the garbage pick-up
service are kept closed. "Garbage and rubbish
containing food wastes are stored in a manner

1. Resident 18's physician's recapitulation
(recap, summary) order and medication
administration record (MAR) for Glipizide
(medication to treat high blood sugar) did not
match the original order of the medication.
2. Resident 3 physician's recap order and MAR
did not have the correct strength of
Dorzolamide (eye drop medication for eye
disease).
3. Resident 14's stoma (opening) site
documentation was not done.
These failures could potentially result in
incomplete or inaccurate data necessary to
assess and meet the residents' needs.

nurse A (LVN A), she prepared and
administered Glipizide immediate release 2.5
milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) by mouth
to Resident 18.
A review of Resident 18's original physician's
order dated 1/18/18 indicated an order of
Glipizide 2.5 mg 1 tab by mouth daily for
diabetes mellitus (DM, blood sugar level is
higher than normal).
A review of Resident 18's physician recap
orders for 2/2018 indicated an order dated

delivers a drug with a delay after
administration) 2.5 mg 1 tab by mouth daily for
DM.
During a concurrent observation, record review
and interview on 2/26/18, at 9:29 a.m. with the
consultant pharmacist (CP) and LVN A, both
confirmed no Glipizide 2.5 mg ER in the
medication cart and stated it was a clerical
error with the recap order and MAR.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure staff
implemented infection control procedures for
one sampled resident (3) and one non-sampled
resident (38). For Resident 3, staff did not
perform hand washing or hand hygiene after
taking off gloves multiple times during
medication administration. For Resident 38,
staff touched and handled a capsule
medication directly without gloves. These
failures had the potential to result in
transmission of infection in the facility.
Findings:
1. During medication administration
observation with licensed vocation nurse B
(LVN B) on 2/26/18, at 4:11 p.m., in Resident
3's room, she gloved and de-gloved while
preparing the medication for Resident 3. She
also gloved and de-gloved again during
administration of eye drops and during
administration of a nebulizer treatment (drug
delivery device used to administer medication
in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs) for
Resident 3. No handwashing or hand hygiene
was performed in between gloving.
During an interview with LVN B on 2/26/18, at
4:43 p.m., she stated she should have
performed hand washing or hand hygiene in
between gloving. She stated there was hand
gel in the medication cart for her to use.
The facility policy and procedure titled
"Handwashing/Hand Hygiene," dated 3/2016,
indicated the staff use an alcohol-based hand
rub or soap and water after removing gloves.
