The findings included: Review of the policy Catheter Care, Urinary, revised September 2014, documented, Infection Control . 2b. Be sure the catheter tubing and drainage bag are kept off the floor. Changing Catheters . 2. Ensure that the catheter remains secured with a leg strap to reduce friction and movement at the insertion site. (Note: Catheter tubing should be strapped to the resident's inner thigh.) An observation on 06/27/22 at 9:47 AM revealed Resident #7 in bed. A urinary catheter bag was noted at the bedside, with half of the bag and the catheter tubing lying directly on the floor. The catheter tubing had cloudy urine with sediment noted. There was no dignity bag noted. Photographic evidence obtained. On 06/27/22 at 1:08 PM, the urinary catheter bag for Resident #7 was noted in the same location, directly on the floor. Resident #7 rang the call light as she needed assistance. Staff A, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) responded to the call light. As the CNA was trying to get to the back wall to turn off the call light, she moved the resident's over-the-bed table, running over the urinary catheter bag that was lying on the floor. The CNA stated, oh my and properly hung the urinary catheter bag on the bed frame. During an observation on 06/27/22 at 1:22 PM, Resident #7 uncovered her legs from under the blanket. No anchor or thigh strap was noted. The catheter tubing was lying on the bed, from her adult brief and then under her left leg. During an interview on 06/28/22 at 10:19 AM, the adult daughter of Resident #7 explained the urinary catheter was originally placed while the resident was in the hospital. The daughter stated there had been some back and forth between the facility and Hospice provider as to whether the resident should have the urinary catheter. An observation at this time revealed the urinary catheter bag was now in a dignity bag hanging from the bed frame and off the floor. The tubing of the urinary catheter still was cloudy with sediment. Photographic evidence obtained. The daughter uncovered the resident's (continued on next page) 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.

F 0690 legs and there was no type of catheter tubing anchor noted. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm An observation on 06/29/22 at 9:55 AM revealed the urinary catheter bag remained in the dignity bag, but the tubing with sediment was directly on the floor. Photographic evidence obtained. Residents Affected - Few An observation of personal and urinary catheter care was made on 06/29/22 at 10:06 AM with Staff B, a CNA. The CNA provided proper care but failed to hold the catheter tubing to secure it from moving or pulling during the cleansing of the catheter. The CNA did note there was no anchor and stated she would obtain one for Resident #7. An observation and interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was made on 06/29/22 at 10:49 AM. The ADON confirmed the lack of an anchoring devise for the urinary catheter for Resident #7. The ADON was informed of the urinary catheter bag being observed on the floor. The ADON noted the sediment in the urinary catheter tubing and stated they should have an order to change the catheter as needed, and further stated it needed to be done. During an interview and observation on 06/29/22 at 11:34 AM, Staff C, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), who was also the direct care nurse for Resident #7 on 06/27/22, revealed the urinary catheter was now anchored and had been changed with clear yellow urine noted. When asked why the urinary catheter tubing for Resident #7 had not been anchored since 06/27/22 or why the cloudy urine with sediment had not been addressed on 06/27/22, the LPN stated, it was clear, referring to the urine. The LPN was informed of the previous observations and had no answer. Review of the record revealed Resident #7 was admitted on [DATE] with the indwelling urinary catheter. The rationale for the urinary catheter as per the Bladder and Bowel evaluation completed by the nurse on 03/22/22 documented the need for exact measurement of urine, yet there was no order for intake and output measurement. Further review of the record revealed a physician order, dated 03/22/22, that documented an indwelling catheter was in place and to obtain a bladder scan and assess for catheter discontinuation. The record lacked completion of this order. A subsequent order on 03/31/22 documented to remove the urinary catheter in the morning to complete a trial voiding. Further record review revealed the urinary catheter was replaced on 04/03/22 because of the lack of voiding. During an interview on 06/29/22 at 12:05 PM, when asked why the facility did not attempt to remove the indwelling urinary catheter sooner, the Interim Director of Nursing (DON) stated she believed the delay was because of the family just wanting Resident #7 to be comfortable. Resident #7 was receiving Hospice services. The DON was unable to provide any documentation related to the delay in discontinuation of the urinary catheter.

Based on observation interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate documentation between the controlled medication utilization record and the medication administration record for 2 of 4 sampled residents reviewed during the medication storage process (Residents #4 and #8). The findings included: 1. During the review of medication storage process conducted on 06/29/22 at 2:50 PM at the 100-unit medication cart, two random residents' records were selected for review and for reconciliation of the substance control medications (narcotics). There was discrepancy found in one of the resident's records (Resident # 8). It was revealed that Resident #8 had an order of tramadol 50 mg 1 tablet by mouth twice daily as needed for pain. The controlled medication utilization record was compared against the June 2022 medication administration records (MARs). The controlled medication utilization record documented the tramadol was removed twice from the locked substance control box, in June 2022 (06/09/22 at 9:32 PM and 06/20/22 at 11:00 AM), however the June's MARs was signed out once. 2. The review of the medication storage process on 06/29/22 at 3:15 PM at the 200-medication cart. Two random residents' records were selected for review. There was discrepancy found in one of the resident's records (Resident #4). It was revealed that Resident #4 had an order of Diazepam 2mg 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for muscle spasm. The controlled medication utilization record was compared against the June 2022 MARs. The controlled medication utilization record documented the medication was removed out of the substance control box on 06/14/22 at 11:00 PM, however the June MARs was not signed out to reflect this removal. On 06/30/22 at 11:18 AM, an interview and a side-by-side review of Resident #8 and Resident #4's records were conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), who confirmed the findings.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure proper storage of medications by 1 of 4 nurses observed during the medication pass observations (Staff D, a Registered Nurse/RN),as evidenced by: Insulin for Resident #103 was left on the medication cart unattended; failed to ensure 1 of 3 medication carts (Wing A) was locked when unattended; and the Wing A medication cart was noted to be unlocked and unattended on three different observations, by two staff nurses during the survey (Staff E, an RN and Staff F, an RN) . There were 13 independently ambulatory residents residing in the facility at the time of the survey, two of whom resided on the A wing. The census upon entrance was 53. The findings included: Review of the policy, titled, Storage of Medications, revised April 2007, documented, 7. Compartments containing drugs and biologicals shall be locked when not in use, and trays or carts used to transport such items shall not be left unattended if open or otherwise potentially available to others. 1. A medication pass observation for Resident #103 was made on 06/27/22 beginning at 3:59 PM with Staff D, a Registered Nurse (RN). The RN gathered her equipment to obtain a blood glucose level. The RN also obtained an insulin syringe from the cart. The RN left the medication cart, located about halfway down the A Wing hallway, and proceeded to the resident's room near the end of the hall. The RN left the small plastic bag with the insulin vial on top of the medication cart. Staff D obtained the blood sugar level for Resident #103, then looked around and stated, Where is my insulin. The RN went back to the cart and found the insulin vial on top of the cart. The RN agreed the medication was not to be left unattended or on top of the cart. Staff D took the insulin into the resident's room to administer, returned to the medication cart and again placed it on top of the cart. During the continued observation on 06/27/22 at 4:27 PM, Staff D was asked to go to the room of Resident #153. The RN put the keys to her medication cart on the nurse's desk near where she parked the medication cart, just to the far side of the computer tower, as she did not have any pockets. The nurse left the insulin on top of the medication cart and went into the room at the front of the hall, leaving her keys on the desk and the medication unattended on top of the cart. On 06/27/22 at 4:30 PM, Staff D went back to the medication cart to obtain pain medication for Resident #153. She tried to pull open the lock to the medication cart. Realizing the medication cart was locked, she went to the nurse's desk to get her keys, as she did not have them in her possession. 2. On 06/27/22 at 4:44 PM, the surveyor went to the A Wing to do a medication pass observation. A nurse was not in sight and the lock to the medication cart was noted to be partially engaged. Upon pulling on the lock, it pulled all the way out and the drawers to the medication cart were opened (Photographic evidence obtained). A few minutes later, Staff E, an RN came to the medication cart. When asked why it was left unlocked, the RN stated she thought she had engaged the lock. The RN had been in a room at the end of the hall and the medication cart was parked in the middle of the hall, near the desk.

Residents who are not up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses and are new admissions and readmissions should be placed in quarantine, even if they have a negative test upon admission, and should be tested following the testing guidelines. This policy further describes 'up-to-date' with COVID-19 vaccinations as having had both boosters. An observation on 06/27/22 at 9:14 AM revealed Resident #102 was a newly admitted resident (admitted on [DATE]), eating breakfast, and pleasantly confused. She was in a room with a roommate and there were no isolation precautions posted on the door. An observation on 06/27/22 at 11:00 AM revealed Resident #102 had been moved into a private room across the hall and was placed on droplet isolation precautions. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was nearby and was asked about the move. The ADON explained Resident #102 had been admitted on Friday (06/24/22) and we went by the information we had. The ADON further explained their Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) looked into it and realized she had not had her booster, so she was placed on 10-day isolation. The ADON confirmed the isolation had just been initiated for Resident #102. 4. A wound care observation was made for Resident #26 on 06/30/22 at 12:10 PM with Staff G, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). The LPN gathered wound care supplies to include a table drape, a bottle of half-strength Dakins solution, gauze, and individual normal saline vials.
