Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to provide oxygen at the prescribed flow rate for one (Resident #7) of one resident reviewed for oxygen therapy from a total survey sample of 23 residents. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 12/02/24 at 11:39 AM, the resident was observed with oxygen infusing at 1 Liter per minute via nasal cannula from the e-cylinder hanging on back of the resident's wheelchair. On 12/04/24 at 3:32 PM, the resident was observed with oxygen infusing at 1 Liter per minute via nasal cannula from the e-cylinder hanging on the back of the resident's wheelchair. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of Resident #7's medical record revealed an admission date of 7/3/24 and diagnoses including, but not limited to, encephalopathy, dependence on supplemental oxygen, and generalized anxiety disorder. A review of the resident's active physician orders revealed the following: Oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula continuously (ordered 7/4/24) Change oxygen tubing and humidifier weekly (ordered 9/5/24). A review of the Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 10/23/24, revealed the resident scored 11 out of 15 possible points on the BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status), indicating moderately impaired cognition. The resident was also documented as requiring set-up or clean-up assistance with eating, partial/moderate assistance with bed mobility, toileting and transfer tasks, and oxygen therapy. A review of the resident's active care plan revealed the following Focus Area: Resident has an altered respiratory status/difficulty breathing related to cardiovascular compromise, 8/22/24: cough/congestion, 10/8/24: COVID positive status. At risk for ineffective breathing pattern, resident has a history of upper respiratory infection.

Review of the training materials provided by the CDM revealed a staff training on date marking and labeling dated 12/02/2024 that read: Food rotation labels allow you to identify food products quickly and set up a storage system that helps to keep food properly labeled. It is also an FDA requirement that you maintain accurate labeling of your food. Labeling food in a commercial kitchen minimizes foodborne illness. By placing food rotation label on your storage bins you can easily label the type of food in the storage container, the date it was added to the storage bin, and the date the food will expire. All dietary staff attended the training (Copy obtained). Review of the instruction manual for the slicer revealed it read: To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens, it is important to properly clean and sanitize the entire slicer as any surface of the slicer can become contaminated. Once your slicer makes contact with food product, the entire slicer, including the removable parts, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This process is to be repeated at least every 4 hours using these procedures. An important step to kill bacteria is to allow the parts to air dry before reassembly (Copy obtained). Review of the facility policy and procedure entitled Dietary/Prevention of Food borne Illness, effective 05/10/1993 and revised 09/10/2016 revealed it read: Purpose: To establish guidelines for the prevention of an outbreak of food borne illness.

Bare Hand Contact with Food and Use of Plastic Gloves: Policy: Single-use gloves will be worn when handling food directly with hands to assure that bacteria are not transferred from the food handler's hands to the food product being served. Procedures: 1. Staff use good hygienic practices and techniques with access to proper hand washing facilities. 2. Staff use clean barriers such as single-use gloves. 3. Gloved hands are considered a food contact surface that can get contaminated or soiled. If used, single use gloves shall be used for only one task and for no other purpose and discarded when damaged or soiled or when interruptions occur in the operation. 4.
