Residents Affected - Few On 10/22/21 at 10:44 a.m., in an interview with the DON, she said, I'm going to do some training and education with the nurses. I'm going to do some spontaneous medication passes. I expect the nurses to follow current physician orders and notify them if a medication is missing and unable to be given. When giving a wrong medication, they (the nurses) must do a medication error report and observe the resident for possible side effects. If a medication is not ordered, they shouldn't give it. We have to call the physician and let them know what happened as soon as the error is discovered. On 10/22/21 at 3:15 p.m., an interview with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist was obtained my phone. She said that it was her expectation that the nurse followed the current physician orders when passing medications.

Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility did not ensure that a refrigerated controlled substance was secured in a separately locked, permanently affixed container on one of three units. Findings included: On 10/21/21 at 4:29 p.m., Staff B LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), entered the medication storage room on Unit 1 to get a medication from the refrigerated emergency drug kit (EDK). He pulled out an opaque plastic container with a clear top that measured approximately 7-inches by 11-inches from the refrigerator. On top of this plastic container, attached to one of the corners by hook and loop fastener tape, was a small clear plastic container about the size of a pack of playing cards. When the nurse was asked what the small clear plastic container had in it, and he said Ativan (Lorazepam). Staff B, LPN was asked to count how many vials of medication was in the small clear plastic container, and he answered four . Upon further inspection, it was noted that 4-2 ml vials of Lorazepam were inside of the small clear plastic container. Staff B, LPN confirmed that the small container was only secured to the larger container by a hook and loop tape system. At 4:31 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the container was unsecured Lorazepam, and that it should have been locked in the lock box inside of the refrigerator in the medication room. She said that as soon as the EDK came from pharmacy, the narcotics should be taken off the larger plastic container and placed in the metal lock box immediately. The DON had the Lorazepam put into the separately locked refrigerated container. On 10/22/21 at 3:15 p.m., in a phone interview with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist, she said that it was her expectation that narcotics be double locked. She said, I know that facility has a lock system, and it should have been in the lock system, not still attached to the insulin EDK.

F 0805 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual needs. Based on observations of meals, interview with residents and facility staff, and review of the facility's menu and materials on the facility's new diet, ( IDDSI - International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative), the facility failed to ensure residents who were on mechanically altered diets received foods that had been correctly prepared to follow the IDDSI guidelines and ensure the foods were safe for two (Residents #60 and #22) of 41 residents identified as having physician orders for mechanically altered diets. Findings included: 1- On 10/19/2021 at 12:30 p.m., Resident # 60 was observed at lunch. She was observed to be sitting up in bed, with her over the bed table across her waist and her lunch tray accessible in front of her. She had been served a total of three, two scoops of fried rice with pork, broccoli and a wheat roll. The resident had inserted her fork into her roll and was holding the roll up like a flag. The roll looked to be a solid mass and was stable on the tines of the fork. When asked if she needed a knife to cut off a bite of it, she shook her head no and put the fork with the roll back down on her tray. The Dietary Manager (DM) was passing in front of the resident's room and was called in to look at the resident's lunch tray. When asked why she would have received three scoops of fried rice with pork, the DM reported she wasn't sure. The diet slip that lists the resident's diet order and any preferences or changes or deletions on the diet was noted to be available on the lunch tray. Review of the diet slip revealed the resident's diet was Regular, SB6 (small bites level 6)/Mech (Mechanical), Thin (liquids). The diet slip listed the two scoops of the sweet sour pork SBMM (soft bites minced & moist), plus one #8 scoop (1/2 cup) of fried rice, pureed. The individual scoop of fried rice was not pureed. All rice scoops were noted to contain rice that had separated into individual grains. The diet slip also listed a wheat roll slurried. The DM reported that the roll should be soft enough to press with the fork and break apart. When the roll that the resident had held aloft with her fork was pointed to, and the DM was asked why it was still a solid mass, the DM reported she would have to look into it. 2- On 10/21/2021 at 12:30 p.m., Resident #22 was observed in the dining room with an aide who was assisting her with her meal. The diet slip that accompanied the resident's lunch indicated her physician ordered diet was Regular, SB6 (small bites level 6)/Mech (mechanical), thin (liquids). The resident had been served small chunks of chicken in gravy, green beans that were soft and able to be mashed with a fork, and white rice. The diet slip indicated the rice was to be rice pilaf. A dinner roll was on the plate and when the aide tried to break it apart with the side of the fork, she was unable to do so. A cookie was on a small plate and it had been slurried, which the resident was able to pick up and even though it crumbled in her fingers she was able to put it into her mouth. 3- On 10/21/2021 at 1:00 p.m., while temperatures on the steam table were being monitored, the DM was asked about the slurried rolls. She demonstrated with tongs how the rolls had been placed into a deep aluminum steam table pan and thickened milk was poured over them to slurry them. She reported that the rolls should soak up the milk and be soft enough to break apart. She stabbed one of the rolls with the tongs and pushed it around the bottom of the pan. The slurried roll did not break up and she was not able to pull the tongs out of the slurried roll. During the observation of the steam table on 10/21/2021, the Regional Registered Dietitian confirmed that the cook had not added the seasoning mix to the rice to make rice pilaf.

F 0805 residents were receiving plain white rice. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 4- On 10/22/2021 at 10:20 a.m., an interview was conducted with the facility's Registered Dietitian (RD) who confirmed the facility had made the decision to follow the IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative) diet consistencies rather than follow the prior diet consistencies - regular, mechanical soft, and pureed. She reported she had received training from a Corporate RD, who also assisted in reviewing the diets and changes to be made in all the residents' diets. She reported that the Regional RD had provided training to the dietary aides and cooks. She also reported that the Speech Therapist reassessed all residents who had been on Mechanical Soft or Pureed diets to determine which diet would be appropriate for them from the new IDDSI plan. Residents Affected - Few The facility's RD reported that their roll-out date for the new diet and menu items was 10/04/2021. She confirmed that once the new diet and menus were introduced there had not been audits of the served meals. On 10/22 /2021 at 3:15 p.m., the Regional RD provided an example of a slurried roll and the consistency that it should attain prior to serving to a resident. The slurried dinner roll pulled apart and allow for easy chewing and swallowing. It did not have the consistency that was observed when the DM demonstrated the slurried roll to the surveyor during the tray line monitoring. It did not have the consistency that was observed on the two resident's lunch plates observed on 10/19/21 and 10/21/2021. The Regional RD described her process in slurrying the rolls which followed the recipe: slice the rolls in half horizontally and using a toothpick make multiple holes across the surface area. Combine 2% milk with a food thickener to make a slurry. Using 2 ounces of slurry per roll, pour one ounce of slurry onto a plate, place roll halves on slurry and pour remaining one ounce over roll, covering the entire surface area. The Regional RD provided a copy of the recipe. It was noted that during the lunch observation of the slurried rolls, the rolls had not been sliced in half or punctured with a toothpick to allow the slurry to saturate the roll. The Regional RD confirmed that the cook had not followed the recipe to slurry the rolls. The Regional RD also provided a recipe for a sauce to be used with the pureed rice to allow it to be safely consumed. Review of the IDDSI materials indicated that Rice requires a sauce to moisten it and hold it together. [NAME] should not be sticky or gluey and should not separate into individual grains when cooked and served. The Regional RD confirmed that the plain white rice should not have been served to residents on the SB6 diet without a thick sauce.
