Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure and maintain water pitchers in a clean
manner for two (100 cart and 200 cart ) out of four pitchers used on medication carts as evidenced by a
build up of pink and dark tan colored residual biogrowth.
Findings Included:
1.On 06/26/223 at 8:50 a.m. the 100-medication cart contained a clear colored water pitcher dated 6/21.
The water pitcher cover was observed with a dark tan colored residual surrounding the inside edge. Staff B,
Licensed Practical Nurse stated, I just washed it this morning. She confirmed she had used the same water
pitcher when she administered the morning medications to the residents. She removed the cover off the
pitcher and with a tissue wiped the inside of it. The tissue reflected a moderate amount of pink to brown
colored residual. Staff B stated I'm going to take it the kitchen.
2. On 06/26/2023 at 9:01 a.m. the 300-medication cart was observed with a clear colored water pitcher. The
pitcher did not contain a date. Staff D, Registered Nurse Minimum Data Sheet Coordinator confirmed the
water pitcher should contain a date that would indicate it was clean that day.
3. On 9:15 a.m. the 200-med cart water pitcher was dated 6/26 Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse was
present and stated, I cleaned it this morning when I got here. She confirmed she had used the same water
pitcher during the morning medication administration. Staff C removed the cover from the pitcher and wiped
the inside. The wipe contained a pink to tan colored debris (photographic evidence was obtained).
On 06/26/2023 at 9:44 a.m. an interview was conducted with the Staff E, Registered Nurse Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON) who stated, all the water pictures are being cleaned. He said he would look to
see if a process was in place.
On 06/27/2023 at 11:45 a.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nurse (DON) who indicated
he was not unaware of a process for cleaning water pitchers. The DON said the nurses in the evening send
the pitchers to the kitchen for cleaning and them pick them up. He indicated he was unaware nurses wash
the water pitchers. The DON stated yes, like we have a bottle of [company name] detergent in each
medication room, we don't. The nurses should not be washing them.
At 2:00 p.m. on 06/27/2023 an interview was conducted with the Staff F Kitchen Manager who stated there
is no process in place, for the cleaning of the water pitchers. Staff F reviewed the photographic evidence
and stated that could be from not being washed for a few days or a week. He confirmed the residual had
resembled what is found in the ice maker if not routinely cleaned. The DON was present and stated, the
water pitchers should be sent to the kitchen in the evening to get washed. He confirmed his agency staff
members would not know this unless something was posted. He confirmed he did not have anything posted
and it was his expectation the pitches were washed daily by the kitchen staff.
At 2:15 p.m. on 06/27/2023 Staff K stated I looked and cannot find any type of process about cleaning the
water pitchers.
