This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to conduct medication self-administration assessment to ensure safety for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for self-administration of medications, of a total sample of 38 residents, (#47). Residents Affected - Few Findings: Resident # 47 was admitted on [DATE] to the facility and then readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke), unspecified glaucoma, asthma, and shortness of breath. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment with an assessment reference date of 4/30/24 revealed resident #47 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 00 out of 15, which indicated she was severely cognitively impaired. On 8/06/24 at 11:20 AM, resident #47 was observed lying back in bed watching television. Her bedside table was over her lap, with personal items, including a 15 milliliter (ml) Afrin nasal spray. The resident said she used the nose spray because her nose got stuffy sometimes. On 8/06/24 at 11:30 AM, the resident's bedside table was observed with License Practical Nurse (LPN) B, her primary care nurse. She acknowledged the Afrin nasal spray 15 ml unsecured on her table. A review of the resident's physician orders with LPN B revealed no orders for the Afrin nasal spray found on the resident's overbed table. LPN B explained for someone to self-administer medications, they must have a physician's order and a self-administration evaluation completed. LPN B confirmed there was no physician's order for the Afrin nasal spray and that the resident had not completed a self-administration evaluation. On 8/06/24 at 11:39 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the self-administration assessment should be completed to ensure the resident could safely self-administer medication. A review of the facility's policy and procedure for Resident Self-Administration of Medication, dated 11/2020, revealed, A resident may only self-administer medications after the facility's interdisciplinary team has determined which medications may be self-administered safely. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow accepted standards of practice to prevent cross-contamination during wound care for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers, of a total sample of 38 residents, (#350). Residents Affected - Few Findings: Resident #350 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an acute care hospital. Her diagnoses included dementia, seizures, hypertension, heart failure, acute kidney failure, unstageable pressure ulcer sacral wound and urinary tract infection. Review of the wound care physician orders dated 8/03/24 included daily treatment of the resident's sacrum. The order directed the nurses to cleanse with wound cleanser, pat dry, apply Santyl, super absorbency and cover with border foam. As defined by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Unstageable Pressure Ulcer: Obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because the wound bed is obscured by slough or eschar. Stable eschar [i.e. dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance] . (Retrieved from the State Operations Manual Appendix PP - Guidance to Surveyors for Long Term Care Facilities Rev. 211, 02-03-23). Review of resident #350's medical record revealed a baseline care plan initiated on 8/02/24 for impaired skin integrity due to sacral pressure ulcer. The goal was the wound would show evidence of healing and be free from infection. The approaches included provide incontinence care as needed, provide treatment as ordered by physician, and weekly and as needed skin evaluations. Review of the most recent wound care note documented by the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) dated 8/07/24, showed the resident had an unstageable pressure wound present since admission measuring 10.5 centimeters (cm) by 11.5 cm by 0.3 cm deep. The wound was noted with 20% granulation tissue, 80% eschar and exposed subcutaneous (fat) tissue with heavy purulent malodorous drainage. On 8/07/24 at 2:40 PM, prior to observation of resident #350's wound care, the North Wing Unit Manager (UM) was observed placing all treatment supplies (Santyl ointment in small plastic medicine cup, wound cleanser, border foam, tongue blade, super absorbency sponge and non-sterile gauze) on the residents' bedside table and did not clean, sanitize or place barrier drape on the table prior. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A assisted with positioning the resident onto her left side during the wound care procedure. The UM performed hand hygiene, donned clean gloves and proceeded to do the wound care. She removed the soiled dressing from the resident's sacral/buttock region revealing a wound that presented as per the APRN's note dated 8/07/24. After removing the soiled dressing, the UM failed to perform hand hygiene before she donned the gloves to continue wound care and apply the new dressing as ordered. On 8/07/24 at 3:05 PM, after the wound care was completed the North Wing UM could not answer why she did not set up a clean field to place the wound dressing supplies nor why she did not wash her hands after removing the soiled dressing/gloves prior to applying the new dressing. She acknowledged she did not know the facility's policy and procedures.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 8/08/24 at 3:41 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) and Regional Nurse expressed concern when informed of the break in infection control twice during resident #350's sacral wound care by the North Wing UM. The DON confirmed the North Wing UM should have sanitized the table in the resident's room before placing the dressing supplies on some type of barrier. The DON also confirmed the UM should have performed hand hygiene after removing the soiled dressings and before applying a new pair of clean gloves and the clean dressing to resident #350 to help reduce the spread of infection. The DON explained the UM was a new nurse to the facility, and said they needed to do further education with her regarding the wound dressing change process. Review of the facility policy and procedure for Clean Dressing Change revised 11/23/23 read, It is a policy of this facility to provide wound care in a manner to decrease potential for infection and/or cross contamination Set up clean field on the overbed table with needed supplies for wound cleansing and dressing application: a. If the table is soiled, wipe clean. B. Place a disposable cloth or linen saver on the overbed table. c. Place only the supplies to be used per wound on the clean field . A review of the facility's policy and procedure for Hand Hygiene, revised on 5/21/22, read Staff will perform proper hand hygiene procedures to prevent the spread of infection . The use of gloves does not replace hand hygiene. If your task requires gloves, perform hand hygiene prior to donning gloves, and immediately after removing gloves .
