§483.10(a)(2) The facility must provide equal access to quality care regardless of diagnosis, severity of condition, or payment source. A facility must establish and maintain identical policies and practices regarding transfer, discharge, and the provision of services under the State plan for all residents regardless of payment source. §483.10(b) Exercise of Rights. The resident has the right to exercise his or her rights as a resident of the facility and as a citizen or resident of the United States. §483.10(b)(1) The facility must ensure that the resident can exercise his or her rights without interference, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal from the facility. §483.10(b)(2) The resident has the right to be free of interference, coercion, discrimination, and reprisal from the facility in exercising his or her rights and to be supported by the facility in the exercise of his or her rights as required under this subpart. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure dignity was promoted for 1 of 16 sampled residents (Resident 22) when Resident 22's urinary catheter bag was exposed. These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents' psychosocial well-being.
Findings: Resident 22 was admitted to the facility in the middle of 2016 with diagnoses which included retaining urine and urinary tract infection.

A review of Resident 22's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 6/16/19, indicated he had an indwelling urinary catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine). In a concurrent observation and interview on 10/21/19 at 9:25 a.m., a urinary catheter bag hung at the bedside was found with no label and was uncovered. Resident 22 stated, "The doctor put me on this catheter for a long time and I wanted it to be removed. The staff don't even take care of it. They don't even cover it." In an interview on 10/21/19 at 9:28 a.m., Licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3) verified there was no label or cover for the catheter bag. LN 3 stated, "There should have been a dignity bag to cover it." In an interview on 10/21/19 at 9:35 a.m., LN 1 verified the indwelling catheter had no cover. LN 1 stated, "We are supposed to label it every time we change. It should have been labeled, dated, and covered with a dignity bag." In an interview on 10/23/19 at 1:48 p.m., the DON, when asked about catheter bags stated, "...staff should cover them for privacy and dignity." In an interview on 10/24/19 at 1:24 p.m., LN 2 stated, "When we receive a resident with a catheter...cover with a dignity bag and assess for signs and symptoms of infection." In an interview on 10/24/19 at 1:32 p.m., the MDS Coordinator stated, "We would follow the standard procedure, label with name and date when the catheter was inserted, cover the catheter with a clothing bag for dignity."

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to consult with the resident's physician when 1 of 16 sampled residents (Resident 46) had a significant change in health status and failed to notify the physician promptly when Resident 46 died. This failure potentially decreased the opportunity for Resident 46 to receive prompt medical attention from the physician.
Findings: Resident 46 was admitted to the facility in the fall of 2019 with diagnoses which included heart disease, lung disease, and cancer.

Review of Resident 46's clinical record revealed: Nurses' notes dated 9/9/19 to 9/20/19 indicated Resident 46 was alert and fully oriented, had no signs of difficulty breathing, and had no significant changes. Nurses' notes dated 9/21/19 to 9/29/19 indicated Resident 46 became confused, lethargic (sluggish), weak, tried to remove her supplemental oxygen, refused her meals, and developed an open wound to her sacrum (the lower back). Nurses notes dated 9/21/19 to 9/29/19 did not contain documented evidence the physician or the nurse practitioner (NP) were notified of Resident 46's significant change in condition. A NP note dated 9/23/19, indicated, "Care plan was discussed in detail with the patient, nursing as well as rehabilitation staff." The NP note did not contain documented evidence of Resident 46's significant change of condition, as assessed by the licensed nurses. A nurses' note dated 9/30/19 at 5:30 p.m., indicated, "Resident noted to be in Chain (sic) Stokes Breathing [type of abnormal breathing characterized by a gradual increase in breathing, and then a decrease]...Resident is actively dying.

During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/24/19 at 9:42 a.m., the DON stated they had spoken to Resident 46 about going on hospice (supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness focused on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure) but she did not choose hospice services at that time. The DON reviewed Resident 46's medical record and confirmed there was no documented evidence the physician or the NP were notified of Resident 46's change of condition or death.

Portions of the center courtyard were visible from the room through the closed blinds. Resident 297, admitted in summer of 2019, stated, "They are all bent and broken. They have been like that since I arrived." On 10/21/19 at 8 a.m., the window blinds in room 111 were observed to have portions that were missing and/or bent allowing the courtyard to be visible when the blinds were closed. Resident 298, admitted to the facility in mid 2019, verified the damaged blinds and stated they were like that when he arrived. On 10/21/19 at 8:29 a.m., the window blinds in room 112 were observed to have portions missing. The courtyard could be seen through the missing sections when the blinds were closed. In a concurrent observation and interview on 10/21/19 a 3:43 p.m., Certified Nurse Assistant 5 verified the window blinds in room 112 were damaged. In an interview on 10/21/19 at 4 p.m., the Administrator verified the damaged window blinds and stated window blinds could have been replaced easily.

A nutrition care plan, dated 8/29/19, indicated Resident 42 "had actual nutrition alteration less than body requirements manifested by a reported food intake of less than 75 [percent]." The care plan indicated Resident 42 was to receive house supplements, which included "[brand name of nutrition shake] TID [three times daily]." Review of the weekly weight logs for 8/19, 9/19, and 10/19, indicated Resident 42 weighed 101 pounds on 8/26/19, 96 pounds on 9/30/19, and 90 pounds on 10/21/19, which totaled a 10 percent loss of body weight in two months.

In an interview on 10/21/19 at 9:35 a.m., Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) indicated Resident 22 just came back from the hospital and the catheter came from the hospital, and stated, "We are supposed to label it every time we change. It should have been labeled, dated and covered." In an interview on 10/24/19 at 1:24 p.m., LN 2 stated, "When we receive a resident with a catheter, we document assessment in the chart and develop a care plan for catheter management."

Review of Resident 29's laboratory assessments since 10/18 did not include a serum ammonia assessment. A review of Resident 29's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool) indicated Resident 29 did not have any Care Area Assessment (CAA) Summary in Section V specifically related to elevated ammonia.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide personal choice of activities for 1 of 16 sampled residents (Resident 147), when the resident was not able to watch movies on the television in his room. This failure increased the potential for negative impact on the resident's psychosocial wellbeing.
Findings: Resident 147 was admitted to the facility in the middle of 2019 with diagnoses which included muscle weakness and communication problem. A review of Resident 147's clinical record titled, "BASELINE CARE PLAN," dated 8/31/19, indicated, "Resident will be assessed for Activity preferences: [Resident 147] will participate in activities of choice." A review of Resident 147's clinical record titled, "ACTIVITY ASSESSMENT," dated 9/4/19, indicated activity interest included watching science fiction and action movies on television. The Activity Director (AD) assessment note indicated, "Resident 147 prefers 1x1 [one to one] and not into social activities." A review of Resident 147's "Activity Care Plan," dated 9/4/19, indicated, "Alterations in Activity pursuit patterns R/T [related to] resident prefers 1x1 activity." A review of Resident 147's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 9/5/19, indicated Resident 147 had a very mild memory impairment. In a concurrent observation and interview on

A review of the facility's document titled, "Maintenance Log," dated 10/15/19, indicated on 10/21/19 a problem was reported by the day shift, Resident 147 complained there was only one channel on his television. In an interview on 10/22/19 at 8:10 a.m., the AD indicated upon admission she did an activity assessment, and stated, "I definitely would have asked the resident if he wanted a television that works, but I did not ask [Resident 147] about his TV." In a concurrent observation and interview on 10/22/19 at 10:39 a.m., Resident 147 had a telephone conversation at the nurse's station, screamed on the phone and yelled, "I never watch the news. I only got 1 channel on my TV." When asked what was happening, Resident 147 stated, "I am talking with my family. I told the staff that my TV has only 1 cable channel and they have not done nothing." In an interview on 10/22/19 at 2:39 p.m., the Administrator (ADM) verified and acknowledged there was a problem with Resident 147's television.

3. LNs failed to notify the physician of a new skin condition for Resident 43; and 4. A LN failed to notify the physician of an elevated blood glucose level for Resident 247. These failures increased the potential for residents to receive treatments in error, and to not receive the medical attention they required to reach their highest practicable physical wellbeing.
Findings: 1. Resident 17 was admitted to the facility in 2015 with diagnoses which included heart disease, and major depression. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 6/16/19, indicated Resident 17's preferred language was other than English, and she needed an interpreter to communicate with a doctor or health care staff. The MDS indicated Resident 17's cognition was moderately impaired. A care plan for impaired communication, dated 9/30/19, indicated Resident 17's primary language was other than English, and the facility provided the resident a communication board. During observations on 10/23/19 at 9:50 a.m., Resident 17 motioned for surveyor to enter her room. Resident 17 grabbed the surveyor's hand, placed it on her abdomen, and winced. Resident 17 brought the surveyor's hand to her forehead and continued to wince. Resident 17 made a hand gesture to her mouth and nose. The LN assigned to Resident 17 was notified. When LN 5 came to Resident 17's bedside, Resident 17 grabbed LN 5's hand, squeezed it, and winced and moaned. When Certified Nursing Assistant 7 (CNA 7) entered Resident

17's room. CNA 7 told LN 5 Resident 17 had abdominal pain because she was trying to have a bowel movement. CNA 7 asked LN 5 if Resident 17 had received a laxative. LN 5 left Resident 17's room and returned with a laxative medication. LN 5 attempted to administer the laxative to Resident 17 who refused it and continued to wince and moan. LN 5 did not assess Resident 17, nor did she attempt to use a communication board to ask Resident 17 about her pain. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/23/19 at 10:17 a.m., the DON stated she expected LNs to assess their residents when they appear in pain or distress. The DON stated, when a resident was nonEnglish speaking, she expected her LNs to perform a head to toe body assessment and to use the language communication board. 2. Resident 197 was admitted to the facility in the fall of 2019 with diagnoses which included a stroke, and had a g-tube. During a concurrent observation and interview with CNA 8 on 10/21/19 at 8:30 a.m., Resident 197 was not wearing an identification bracelet, nor was one found on his bed, wheelchair, or bedside dresser. A bottle of enteral feeding (nutritional formula) was infusing through Resident 197's g-tube. The bottle did not indicate documented evidence of the resident's name, the prescribed dose, or the time the infusion started. CNA 8 confirmed the observations, and went to the nurses station to learn the resident's name. During an interview with the DON on 10/21/19 at 9 a.m., at Resident 197's bedside, the DON confirmed Resident 197 was not wearing an identification bracelet, and there was no label on the enteral feeding bottle.

These failures resulted in Resident 42 developing two new, avoidable, pressure ulcers to the right and left heels, and the worsening of one pressure ulcer to the coccyx while at the facility.
Findings: 1. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP, professional organization dedicated to the prevention and management of pressure injuries) 2016 definition of pressure injuries indicated "A pressure injury is localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence ... The injury can present as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful. The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear." A pressure injury may also be referred to as a pressure ulcer, pressure sore, pressure wound, decubitus ulcer, and bedsore. Resident 42 was admitted to the facility in the summer of 2019 with diagnoses which included heart disease, kidney disease, dementia (progressive memory loss), and a surgical wound to her right lower leg. Review of Resident 42's clinical record revealed the following: A document titled, "Skin & Body Assessment," dated 8/23/19, indicated Resident 42 returned from the hospital with several wounds, which included a wound with a bandage and surgical staples, bruises, and swelling of her lower right leg.

documented evidence of wounds to the right or left heels. A Pressure Ulcer Risk Care Plan, dated 8/25/19, indicated Resident 42 was at risk of developing pressure ulcers due to her inability to move independently in bed, and her dementia. The care plan interventions included a pressure relieving mattress to the bed, repositioning every one to two hours, and dietary supplements per orders. A Pressure Ulcer Care Plan, dated 8/26/19, indicated, "PRESSURE ULCER AS MANIFESTED BY: bed mobility [the ability to move independently in bed]." The care plan interventions included staff were to encourage Resident 42 to turn or reposition at least every two hours, ensure the resident obtained appropriate nutrition to enhance the healing process, and keep the physician informed of the progress and response to the treatment plan. The care plan did not specify the number or location of any pressure ulcers. A Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 8/30/19, indicated Resident 42 was non-ambulatory, and required extensive assistance with bed mobility and transfers from her bed to her wheelchair. The MDS indicated Resident 42 had one unhealed pressure ulcer at stage 1 [non-blanchable reddened area usually over a bony prominence]. A Nurses Note, dated 9/11/19, at 12 p.m., indicated, " ...Discoloration noted on bilateral [both] heels. Continued to elevate feet when in bed. Will continue to monitor." A Nutrition Note by the Registered Dietician (RD), dated 9/19/19, indicated Resident 42 had increased calorie and protein needs for wound healing. The RD made recommendations,

During an interview with the WCP and the TN on 10/22/19 at 1:30 p.m., the WCP stated he was not aware Resident 42 also had a pressure injury over her coccyx region. The TN stated he did not notify the WCP of the coccyx pressure injury, and he was responsible for notifying him when new wounds developed. During a concurrent observation and interview with the WCP and the TN on 10/22/19 at 3:30 p.m., the WCP assessed Resident 42's pressure wound to the coccyx region and stated the wound was unstageable. The WCP recommended a low air loss mattress for her bed, a specialized pressure relieving cushion for her wheelchair, and time in her wheelchair limited to 60 consecutive minutes. The TN stated he was sure Resident 42's coccyx pressure ulcer worsened because the resident sat in her wheelchair for long periods of time.

Based on interview, record review and facility document review, the Consultant Pharmacist (CP), did not identify MRR (Medication Regimen Review) irregularities for 3 of 16 sampled residents (Resident 5, Resident 13, and Resident 29) and the facility failed to act on MRR irregularities when: 1. Resident 13 was receiving duplicate antidepressants, fluoxetine (a medication indicated for depression) and mirtazapine (a medication indicated for depression) since admission to the facility in late January 2019 (almost 9 months) and no mirtazapine gradual dosage reduction (GDR) had been attempted; with the potential for adverse medication effects such as weight gain, sedation, falls, and arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythm). 2. Resident 29 was receiving lactulose (used to lower high levels of ammonia, a waste product in the blood) since 10/30/18 (approximately one year) for inadequate indication and without adequate monitoring. This failure had the potential to contribute to Resident 29 experiencing adverse lactulose effects such as diarrhea, stomach pain and discomfort. 3. For Resident 5, the facility failed to act on the pharmacist's new admission MRR related to two potentially interacting medications.

was a 67 year-old admitted to the facility in January 2019 with diagnoses including insulindependent diabetes mellitus and depression. Resident 13's facility admission orders (dated 1/31/19) included Physician Orders for fluoxetine 20 mg (milligram, unit of measure) in the morning for depression and mirtazapine 15 mg at bedtime for depression. Further clinical record review indicated a Physician's Order (dated 6/11/19) to increase Resident 13's fluoxetine to 40 mg daily for depression. Review of the facility policy, "General Guidelines for the Use of Psychoactive Medications," revised 10/17, indicated under item 11: "Designated facility staff will monitor for side effects, reduce dosage to the minimum required and, when possible, discontinue the use of such medications when medically and pharmacologically appropriate." Under item 14, the policy indicated: "Duplicate therapy for psychopharmacological [psychoactive] medications is generally not indicated. Documentation by the physician is necessary to clarify the rationale for and benefits of duplicate therapy and the approach to monitoring for benefits and consequences." According to DailyMed, a nationally recognized official provider of current FDA (Food and Drug Administration, a federal regulatory agency) medication manufacturer label information (package inserts), last updated 8/19, increased appetite and weight gain were common adverse events associated with mirtazapine. Review of Resident 13's consolidated behavioral summaries (completed by licensed nursing staff) for the months of February, March, April, May and July 2019 indicated

mirtazapine was administered for appetite loss; the behavior summary document for September 2019 indicated the behavioral indication had been changed to "sadness." Further review of Resident 13's consolidated behavior summaries indicated no depressionrelated behaviors (isolation or sadness) had been documented by licensed nursing staff from 2/1/19 through 7/31/19 and 9/1/19 through 9/31/19. In addition, no documented episodes of sadness had been documented on Resident 13's Medication Administration Record by licensed nursing staff 10/1/19 through 10/22/19. Review of Resident 13's Weight Flow Sheet indicated he weighed 216 pounds on 2/9/19 and 244 pounds on 10/1/19. This represented a 28 pound weight gain in approximately 8 months. A review of the consultant dietitian's nutritional progress note, dated 9/26/19, indicated Resident 13's 9/19 weight was 229 lb (pounds). The consultant dietitian's noted indicated, "Resident noted [with] significant weight gain in the last 3 + 6 months ...Weight gain d/t [due to] 100 % intake of large portions ..." Review of Resident 13's clinical record IDT (interdisciplinary team) notes did not indicate any documentation regarding Resident 13's duplicate antidepressant therapy or consideration to attempt a mirtazapine gradual dosage taper related to Resident 13's significant weight gain.

new medication order for an appropriate indication or diagnosis; for medication interactions; for duplication on therapy with other drugs in the same therapeutic class ordered for the resident." Review of the facility policy titled, "General Guidelines for the Use of Psychoactive Medications," revised 10/17, indicated under item 16: "The Pharmacy consultant will review resident medication records on a monthly basis for documentation/justification for drug use and will recommend dosage reductions or modification." During a phone interview on 10/24/19 at 11:10 a.m., the CP confirmed he had reviewed Resident 13's medical record during his MRR visit earlier in October but had not identified Resident 13's duplicate antidepressant therapy or recommended a mirtazapine GDR. 2. Clinical record review indicated Resident 29 was admitted to the facility from an acute care hospital in mid-May 2013 with diagnoses which included feeding difficulties, muscle weakness, dementia and Parkinson's Disease. Resident 29's admission Physician Orders included an order, dated 10/30/18, for lactulose 45 ml (milliliter, unit of measure for volume) by mouth three times a day for "increase ammonia." Review of Resident 29's current care plans indicated the IDT had not developed a plan of care for lactulose. During a phone interview on 10/24/19 at 11:10 a.m. with the CP, when asked what should be monitored for a resident receiving lactulose for increased serum ammonia, the CP stated he would review laboratory assessments for evidence of a serum ammonia level.

Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 2015 and readmitted in the fall of 2019, with diagnoses which included heart failure and anxiety disorder. The Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 6/17/19, indicated Resident 5's memory was intact. Review of a facility document for Resident 5 titled "New Admission Medication Regimen Review," dated 10/11/19, indicated, "The resident is taking donepezil [a drug used to treat memory disorders] and sertraline [a drug to treat depression]. This combination increases the risk of QT prolongation [a cardiac rhythm irregularity]. Please monitor for and report to the provider if the resident experiences changes in heart rate." There was no notation on the document or in Resident 5's medical record to indicate any follow up was done or that the recommendation had been seen by the medical provider. In an interview on 10/24/19 at 10:11 a.m., the Director of Nurses (DON) stated, "The desk nurse should have given a copy to the physician and noted it on the document. It appears the recommendation was filed and not done anything with." The DON verified there was no documentation of a response by the nurse practitioner or doctor.

Findings: 1. During an observation of medication administration on 10/21/19 at 11:48 a.m., Licensed Nurse 5 (LN 5) was observed to prepare and administer Resident 295's before lunch insulin aspart after assessing Resident 295's fingerstick Blood Sugar (BS). On 10/21/19 at 11:50 a.m., LN 5 administered 4 units of insulin aspart subcutaneously (under the skin) to Resident 295. During an interview on 10/21/19 at 11:55 a.m. with LN 5, LN 5 confirmed Resident 295's before lunch blood sugar level was 193 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter, unit of measure for weight/volume). During a continued interview with LN 5, when asked how the dose of insulin for the administration was calculated, LN 5 responded based on Resident 295's blood sugar level of 193 mg/dl, the sliding scale insulin order (various units of insulin based on blood sugar levels) was used to calculate the dose. Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 295's current Physician Orders indicated orders for, "Novolog insulin [insulin aspart] 100 u/ml [units/milliliter, unit of measure] give 4 units for DM2 [Diabetes Mellitus 2, a condition whereby the body ineffectively metabolizes sugar] 5-10 minutes before meals subcutaneous with Bkfst [breakfast], Lun [lunch] and Din [dinner]."

Resident 295 should have received a total of 8 units of insulin aspart before lunch on 10/21/19 in accordance with the physician orders which represented a combination of the routine and sliding scale doses. During a later observation of medication administration on 10/21/19 at 4:51 p.m., LN 6 was observed to prepare and administer Resident 295's before dinner insulin after assessing Resident 295's fingerstick BS. On 10/21/19 at 4:55 p.m., LN 6 administered 19 units of insulin aspart subcutaneously to Resident 295. During an interview on 10/21/19 at 4:58 p.m. with LN 6, LN 6 stated Resident 295's blood sugar level was 346 mg/dl prior to administration of insulin aspart. During a continued interview with LN 6 when asked how the dose of insulin was calculated, LN 6 responded based on Resident 295's blood sugar level of 346 mg/dl, both insulin orders (routine and sliding scale) were combined together. During an interview on 10/22/19 at 11:10 a.m. with LN 5, when asked about the proper way of calculating Resident 295's insulin, LN 5 stated the routine and sliding scale insulin orders were not clear to licensed nursing staff.

During an interview on 10/21/19 at 9:10 a.m., LN 3 confirmed a total of 30 ml of water was used to flush Resident 197's G-tube during medication administration observation. Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 197's current MAR (Medication Administration Record) indicated an order to flush the G-tube with 30 ml of water before and after medication administration every shift. According to American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition guidelines (ASPEN), a professional organization involved in injectable and tube feeding nutrition, published 1/17, indicated, "Consistent and scheduled flushing of all types of tubes during feeding medication administration is the best way to decrease the incidence of tube occlusion." During a concurrent interview on 10/24/19 at 1:29 p.m. with the DON and Minimum Data Set coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated the facility did not have a specific policy for flushing G-tubes. The DON confirmed nurses should follow physician orders for flushing G-tubes. A review of facility policy titled, "Administering Medications," revised 4/08, indicated, "The individual administering the medication must ensure that the right medications, right dosage, right time and right method of administration are verified before the medication is administered (e.g., review of drug label, physician's order, etc.)."

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure 6 residents in a census of 43 (Residents 295, 26, 247, 298, 44, and 21) were free from significant medication errors when: 1a. For Resident 295, a licensed nurse administered resident's insulin aspart, medication used to lower blood sugar level, not in accordance with the physician's orders. This failure resulted in hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar level). 1b. For Resident 26, a licensed nurse did not administer a scheduled dose of insulin aspart in accordance with the physician's orders. This failure resulted in hyperglycemia. 1c. For Residents 6, 14, 23, 247, 30, discharged Resident A, 298 and 44, licensed nurses administered residents' insulin not in accordance with the physician orders. This failure had the potential to result in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level). 2. For Resident 21, a licensed nurse did not administer Resident 21's vitamin C, a type of vitamin that could help speed the healing process of wounds, in June, August, September, and October of 2019 as ordered by the physician. This failure had the potential to result in prolonged wound healing.

1a. According to American Diabetes Association guidelines, the preprandial, measured before dinner or lunch, sugar target level is 80-130 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter, unit of measure for weigh/volume). Long term complications of untreated hyperglycemia can include: nerve damage, kidney damage, and damage to the blood vessels of the retina, the tissue that lines the back of the eye on the inside, leading to blindness. According to Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), updated in 2017, indicated "Insulins, all formulations and strengths are considered to be high-alert medications [dangerous medication when used in error]." Resident 295 was admitted to the facility in October 2019 with diagnosis which included DM2 (Diabetes Mellitus 2, a condition whereby the body ineffectively metabolizes sugar). During an observation of medication administration on 10/21/19 at 11:48 a.m., Licensed Nurse 5 (LN 5) was observed to prepare and administer Resident 295's before lunch insulin aspart after assessing Resident 295's fingerstick Blood Sugar (BS, the amount of sugar in the blood). On 10/21/19 at 11:50 a.m., LN 5 administered 4 units of insulin aspart subcutaneously (under the skin) to Resident 295. During an interview on 10/21/19 at 11:55 a.m. with LN 5, LN 5 confirmed Resident 295's before lunch blood sugar level was 193 mg/dl (milligram per deciliter, unit of measure for weight/volume). During a continued interview with LN 5, when asked how the dose of insulin for the administration was calculated, LN 5 responded based on Resident 295's blood sugar level of 193 mg/dl, the sliding scale

insulin order (various units of insulin based on blood sugar levels) was used to calculate the dose. Reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 295's current Physician Orders indicated orders for "Novolog insulin [insulin aspart] 100 u/ml [units/milliliter, unit of measure] give 4 units for DM2 5-10 minutes before meals subcutaneous with Bkfst [breakfast], Lun [lunch] and Din [dinner]." Resident 295 had an additional order for "Novolog insulin 100 u/ml give 2-20 units with SS [Sliding Scale] for DM2 subcutaneous insulin before Bkfst, Lun, Din FSBG [Finger Stick Blood Glucose] 70-130=0, 131-150=2U, 151-180=3U, 181-210=4U, 211-240=6U, 241270=8U, 271-300=10U, 301-330=12U, 331360=15U, 361-400=18U, 400&> [greater than]= 20U and Notify MD [Medical Doctor]. Give 5-10 min [minutes] before meals." Resident 295 should have received a total of 8 units of insulin aspart before lunch on 10/21/19 in accordance with the Physician Orders which represented a combination of the routine and sliding scale doses. During a later observation of medication administration on 10/21/19 at 4:51 p.m., LN 6 was observed to prepare and administer Resident 295's before dinner insulin after assessing Resident 295's fingerstick BS. On 10/21/19 at 4:55 p.m., LN 6 administered 19 units of insulin aspart subcutaneously to Resident 295. During an interview on 10/21/19 at 4:58 p.m. with LN 6, LN 6 stated Resident 295's blood sugar level was 346 mg/dl prior to administration of insulin aspart.

During an interview on 10/22/19 at 11:10 a.m. with LN 5, when asked about the proper way of calculating Resident 295's insulin, LN 5 stated the routine and sliding scale insulin orders were not clear to licensed nursing staff. Review of Resident 295's October Medication Administration Record (MAR), the section for 10/21/19 indicated LN 5 had not documented Resident 295's pre-lunch routine dose of insulin. During a phone interview on 10/28/19 at 1:12 p.m. with the medical director regarding Resident 295's insulin orders, the medical director indicated he expected nurses to follow prescribed orders. If orders were not clear, nurses should have contacted the prescriber. A review of facility policy titled, "Administering Medications," revised 04/08, indicated "Medications must be administered in a timely manner and in accordance with the attending physician's written/verbal orders ...When medications are administered, the individual administering the medication must record in the resident's medical record: a. The date and time the medication was administered; b. The dosage." 1b. Resident 26 was admitted to the facility the summer of 2019 with diagnoses which included DM2.

During a concurrent interview and Dining Room Observation on 10/21/19 at 11:54 a.m., Resident 26 stated he was diabetic and had not had his blood glucose (BG, sugar in the blood) checked nor had he received insulin injection. At 12:05 p.m., Resident 26's meal tray arrived and Resident 26 was observed eating the lunch meal. During an interview with LN 5 on 10/21/19 at 12:36 p.m., LN 5 confirmed she had not checked Resident 26's BG nor administered Resident 26 his insulin. LN 5 stated she did not offer to check the BG and administer insulin because she would have had to remove Resident 26 from the dining room. LN 5 confirmed the BG check and insulin should have been administered prior to lunch. During a follow-up interview with Resident 26 on 10/21/19 at 3:50 p.m., Resident 26 stated the nurse offered to check his BG after he had already eaten. Resident 26 stated he declined the offer because he had already finished eating.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a controlled carbohydrate (CCHO, a low-sugar and lowstarch) diet for 1 of 16 sampled residents (Resident 26). This failure increased the potential for Resident 26 to experience large elevations and drops in blood glucose (BG, the amount of sugar in the blood).
Findings: Resident 26 was admitted to the facility in the summer of 2019 with diagnoses which included diabetes mellitus II (DM2, whereby the body ineffectively metabolizes sugar). A review of Resident 26's Physician Orders with a start date of 8/13/19, indicated, "Diet: CCHO, NAS [no added salt], REGULAR TEXTURE, THIN LIQUIDS With Bkfst [breakfast], Lun [lunch], and Din [dinner]." A review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (an assessment tool), dated 8/17/19, indicated Resident 26 had no cognitive impairments. A review of Resident 26's meal tray ticket indicated Resident 26 was on a CCHO diet. During an interview with the Food Service Director (FSD) on 10/21/19 at 7:47 a.m., FSD stated he had worked at the facility as a FSD for about 4 months.

The CK stated the FSD calibrated the thermometers. During a concurrent observation and interview with the FSD on 10/22/19 at 9:10 a.m., when asked to demonstrate how thermometers were calibrated, the FSD placed two dial thermometers in a cup of ice water. One dial thermometer read 38 degrees Fahrenheit (a temperature scale) and a second dial thermometer read 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The FSD placed one digital thermometer inside the cup of ice water. The digital thermometer read 38.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The FSD stated Dining Services also had a thermometer gun. He confirmed none of the thermometers read 0 degrees Celsius (a temperature scale) or 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit are both the freezing temperature of water). The FSD stated the dial thermometers were missing the wrench used to calibrate the thermometers and could not be calibrated. The FSD stated none of the dial or digital thermometers could be calibrated. During a follow-up interview with the FSD on 10/22/19 at 9:55 a.m., when asked for documented evidence of the last 4 month's thermometer calibrations, the FSD was unable to provide documented evidence the thermometers had been calibrated.

transport linens so as to prevent the spread of infection. §483.80(f) Annual review. The facility will conduct an annual review of its IPCP and update their program, as necessary. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observation, interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program for a census of 43 when: 1. Treatment Nurse (TN) did not sanitize scissors between residents or follow hand hygiene procedures during dressing changes; 2. A Licensed Nurse (LN) did not sanitize a blood glucose monitor per manufacturers' guidelines; and 3. Resident 22's urinary catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine) and oxygen tubing were not labeled or dated. This failure increased the potential risk for the spread of infection.
Findings: 1. During a concurrent interview and wound care observation on 10/21/19 at 9:35 a.m., the TN used bandage scissors to remove soiled rolled gauze dressing from a resident's leg wound and replaced the scissors in his scrub pants pocket without cleaning them. The TN did not change gloves after removing soiled dressings from the resident's foot before applying clean dressing. The TN did not wash or sanitize his hands after removing his gloves. When asked when he should have changed his gloves, the TN stated, "I should remove gloves when I throw away the dirty dressing, I didn't." When asked when he should have cleaned his

scissors and what he should have used to clean them with he stated, "I should clean them after I use them, and I use alcohol wipes." During a concurrent interview and wound care observation on 10/21/19 at 10:15 a.m., the TN was observed touching the bed rails and call light of Resident 42's roommate, and then proceeded to change Resident 42's dressing without changing his gloves. When asked if he should have changed his gloves before continuing care he stated, "I didn't touch her [meaning the other resident's body]." The TN then continued with the care without changing gloves. In an interview on 10/22/19 at 1:30 p.m., the Wound Care Physician (WCP) stated, "I would expect him to change gloves between wounds and from dirty to clean [areas]." In an interview with the Director of Nurses (DON) on 10/22/19 at 4 p.m., the DON stated her expectations were that the TN would follow standard precautions (a set of standard infection control practices used to prevent transmission of diseases) and the facility policy. In an interview with the DON and Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 10/23/19 at 4 p.m., the DON stated she expected staff to wash their hands after removing gloves and between resident care. The DSD stated staff should have used germicidal disinfectant wipes per manufacturer guidelines to clean direct care equipment between residents. Review of a facility policy titled, "Infection Control, Standard Precautions," dated 2001, indicated, "Hand hygiene [should be performed] immediately after gloves are removed and between resident contacts...Change gloves between tasks and procedures on the same

resident after contact with material that may contain a high concentration of microorganisms [germs]...Remove gloves promptly after use, before touching noncontaminated items and environmental surfaces, and before going to another resident. Wash hands immediately to avoid transfer of microorganisms to other residents or environments...Ensure that reusable equipment is not used for the care of another resident until it has been appropriately cleaned and reprocessed..." 2. During an observation of medication administration on 10/21/19 at 11:22 a.m., LN 5 measured Resident 295's blood sugar level using a blood glucose meter, a device used to measure blood sugar level. LN 5 then cleaned the device with an alcohol wipe for approximately three seconds. During an interview on 10/21/19 at 11:25 a.m., when asked about the proper way of disinfecting the blood glucose meter, LN 5 pulled a container of bleach germicidal wipes from the medication cart and used a wipe to clean the glucometer device for approximately five seconds; wrapped the device in several facial tissues; and placed it in a resealable plastic bag. During an interview on 10/23/19 at 3:55 p.m. with the DON and DSD, the DSD stated, "[Brand name] Wipes [germicidal disposable cloth capable of killing blood borne pathogens such as AIDS, Hepatitis B & C viruses] should have been used to clean the blood glucose meter. Licensed nursing staff should have wiped the meter for one full minute and dried it for three minutes without fanning it." According to the [Brand name] Wipes product labeling guidelines, "treated surface must remain visibly wet for a full three (3) minutes.

Use additional wipe(s) if needed to assure continuous three (3) minute wet contact time." 3. Resident 22 was admitted to the facility in the middle of 2016 with diagnoses which included retaining urine and urinary tract infection. In a concurrent observation and interview on 10/21/19 at 9:25 a.m., nebulizer (a breathing treatment equipment), a nasal tubing attached to an oxygen concentrator, and a urinary catheter bag, uncovered and hung at the bedside, were found with no labels and no dates. Resident 22 stated, "The doctor put me on this catheter for a long time and I wanted it to be removed. The staff don't even take care of it. They don't even cover it." In an interview on 10/21/19 at 9:28 a.m., LN 3 verified there were no labels or dates on the oxygen tubing or cover for the catheter bag. In an interview on 10/21/19 at 9:35 a.m., LN 1 verified the catheter bag had no cover and stated, "We are supposed to label it every time we change. It should have been labeled, dated." In an interview on 10/23/19 at 1:48 p.m., the DON stated, "On tubes, lines, catheters and personal equipment, I expect the staff to label with the names of residents and to put dates when they are using them." In an interview on 10/24/19 at 1:24 p.m., LN 2 stated, "When we receive a resident with a catheter...cover with a dignity bag and assess for signs and symptoms of infection." In an interview on 10/24/19 at 1:32 p.m., the Minimum Data Set Coordinator stated, "We would follow the standard procedure, label with

§483.90(i) Other Environmental Conditions The facility must provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff and the public. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, and sanitary environment for potentially 9 residents in a census of 43 residents when walls, doors, and dressers where in disrepair in rooms 107, 108, and 109. This failure had the potential to negatively affect the residents' safety and well-being.
Findings: A concurrent interview and observation of room 109 with Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) was conducted on 10/21/19 at 8:37 a.m. The room had a built-in wardrobe system which included six drawers. Two drawers did not fully close, and four drawers were off their tracks and dropped down when opened. The door leading to the bathroom had scratches, scraped off paint, and no door knob. The bottom of the bathroom door frame had deeply gouged out wood, indentations, and peeled paint. CNA 2 agreed with the observations, and stated residents would need to reach to the top of the bathroom door to open it. CNA 2 stated one of the three residents in room 109 was able to use the bathroom independently.

A concurrent interview and observation of the resident bathroom for rooms 107 and 108 was conducted with CNA 1 on 10/21/19 at 9:47 a.m. The bathroom was shared by six residents, two of which used the bathroom independently (Resident 195 and Resident 198). The paint had bubbled and peeled off the wall behind the toilet, the tiled flooring was chipped, and sections of grout were darkened and had a white chalky-crystalline substance, the walls had cracks, sections of the coving were detached from the wall, the caulk between the sink and the wall was cracked and dirty, the bathroom doors were scratched and had peeled off paint, and there were three large buckets stacked on top of each other stored next to the toilet. The top bucket contained a substance that resembled vomit. CNA 1 agreed with the observations made of the bathroom. When asked about the buckets, CNA 1 stated a resident in room 108 was always nauseated. CNA 1 covered the inside of the bucket with paper towel and stated he would tell janitor to clean it up. During an interview with Resident 195 on 10/21/19 at 11:39 a.m., Resident 195 confirmed it was her vomit in the buckets in the bathroom. Resident 195 stated she thought the facility was in a state of disrepair. The resident stated, when she was leaning up against the bathroom sink, it pulled away from the wall. Resident 195 stated she thought it would rip completely away from the wall. Resident 195 stated she notified someone in the maintenance department, who reassured her the sink would get fixed. An observation of room 107 on 10/21/19 at 4:47 p.m., revealed the wall at the head of bed B had deep gouges into the drywall, and large sections of peeled paint. Two bedside dressers had table tops with no plastic edges; which left
