**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure four staff members knocked, announced themselves,
and requested permission to enter resident occupied rooms during two of four days (02/09/20 and 2/11/20)
of the survey.
Findings included:
On 02/09/20 at 11:09 a.m. Staff K, Certified Nursing Aide (CNA), was observed walking into resident room
[ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER]. Staff K did not knock or announce himself before walking
in the room.
On 02/11/20 at 7:57 a.m. Staff I, CNA, was observed walking into resident room [ROOM NUMBER] without
knocking or announcing name.
On 02/11/20 at 3:03 p.m., Staff L, CNA, and the Director of Nursing were observed walking into a resident
room [ROOM NUMBER] without knocking or introduction.
Review of Resident Council minutes, dated 10/17/2019, labeled Discussion of old business, revealed
Council concerned staff don't wait for their permission when knocked upon entering resident's
room-Resolved and council agreed.
During the Resident Council on 2/11/2020 at 2:00 p.m., eight residents stated they were still having issues
with concerns mentioned in past meetings. Residents stated their privacy was not honored because Staff
don't knock before entering. Residents confirmed, They don't introduce themselves. Sometimes they don't
wear their name tags, but they are required to. They say they've lost it or forgot it or I never got one.
On 02/12/20 at 3:51 p.m., an interview with the Activities Director was conducted. She stated that any
concerns the council had were brought to the Administrator and Director of Nursing. She stated, Depending
on the concern, it could be addressed by any department. So, if a concern was clinical, the clinical staff
would address it. When the concern with knocking and answering was brought to my attention, the clinical
staff was notified. This was done in the month prior to October. The clinical staff let me know when the
in-service and the action plan was completed. I have not heard the council express continued concerns
related to knocking and announcing themselves before entering. My expectation would be for staff to knock,
introduce themselves and wait for the resident's response before entering.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to complete an accurate assessment
of the resident's capacity for one (#30) of 37 sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
On 02/10/20 at 11:50 a.m., Resident #30 was alert and oriented in a wheelchair in the hallway area next to
the nurse's station. Upon greeting Resident #30, she stated, I am having a hard time hearing you. Resident
asked staff to step to left side, stating I can hear better on this side.
On 02/11/20 at 8:04 a.m., Resident #30 was observed in bed and awake. She stated she was waiting on
the hairdresser. Resident #30 stated she was unable to hear and asked if the surveyor could come to the
left side of bed. The resident was not observed to have hearing aids in at that time.
On 02/11/20 at 3:11 p.m., Resident #30's husband was observed in the room visiting with the resident. He
said he bought the first pair of hearing aids when she was at another facility, and they were stolen. He
stated, She needs severe hearing aids and I can't afford them right now. They use the standard ones here
and sometimes they work for her, other times they don't. Resident #30 stated Nurses give them to me when
they have time. They don't give it to me every morning. One time, I swear ______, they didn't give it to me
until 3:00 p.m. They are supposed to give them to me at 7 in the morning.
On 02/12/20 at 11:48 a.m., an interview with Staff N, Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator, was
conducted. She stated I am very familiar with the resident and her family. The resident is hard of hearing
and does have hearing aids. I'd say sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, but she can hear with
and without them. The resident might've had her hearing aids out when the assessment was done, but I
can get a print-out of the assessment for you. Social services actually sat with the resident to assess her. I
can have him come down.
On 02/12/20 at 12:31 p.m., an interview with the Social Services Director was conducted. He stated, I
actually look to see if the resident is wearing any hearing aids and then I complete the Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) part of the assessment. I am familiar with Resident #30. She can tell me her needs.
You do have to speak a little louder for her. I've never seen her wear hearing aids. I probably marked the
wrong thing on the assessment.
Review of Quarterly minimum data assessment, Section B: Hearing, Speech, and Vision dated 6/12/19,
9/04/2019 and 10/01/2019 revealed resident #30's ability to hear was adequate and resident did not use
hearing aids.
MDS Coordinator was unable to provide a policy for the accurate completion of the MDS assessment.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure interventions were implemented for
one (#38) out of 39 sampled residents after a fall with a major injury.
Findings included:
Resident #38 was admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included
diagnoses not limited to: subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing unspecified fracture
of right femur; onset 11/28/19, and subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
unspecified fracture of left femur; onset 12/6/19. The significant change in status Minimum Data Set (MDS),
dated [DATE], revealed a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) of 11, indicating a moderate cognitive
impairment.
An observation on 2/10/20 at 9:41 a.m., revealed Resident #38 lying in bed with a trapeze overhead. The
call light was observed tied around the raised bed rail, hanging down the side of the bed. The resident
attempted and was unable to reach the call light. Staff Member I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA),
unwrapped the bed control cord and call light cord from the raised bed rail and handed it to the resident. At
9:11 a.m. on 2/12/20, the resident was observed lying on the bed, the bed was above knee level, the call
light was within reach, and there were no fall mats on the floor surrounding the bed. The observation
revealed Resident #38's room did not contain floor mats. When asked about Resident #38's fall, Staff
Member I stated the resident had rolled onto floor, had pain, and the resident removed the braces from
lower limbs. At 9:26 a.m. on 2/12/20, Staff Member I stated the resident used the bed control to lower and
raise the bed. The staff member confirmed the room did not have floor mats.
Resident #38 was identified as a risk for falls: weakness with impaired mobility related to (r/t) fall with right
distal femur and left femur on 11/2019, non-weight bearing to bilateral lower extremities. The care plan
focus revealed the resident lowers/raises the bed randomly, as well as lowerS head/foot of bed. Staff
frequently needed to assist with positioning using bed remote, initiated 12/14/17 and revised on 2/3/20. The
interventions for the risk of falls included:
- bed in low position, initiated 1/31/20 and revised 2/2/20.
- fall mat(s), initiated and created 1/31/20.
- Place call light within reach while in bed or close proximity to the bed, initiated and created 12/14/17.
A Situation, Background, Appearance, and Review (SBAR), dated 11/27/19, identified Resident #38 had
suffered a fall. The SBAR indicated the resident's legs were both straight with feet pointing towards the right
and had complained of pain to the right knee. The Situation section on the SBAR, dated 1/31/20, indicated
the change in condition, symptoms, or signs observed and evaluated were due to a fall. The SBAR
acknowledged the primary care clinician was notified without any recommendations. The radiology results
report, dated 11/27/19, of the right femur, interpreted a distal femoral shaft fracture with posterior-lateral
displacement and angulation of the distal fracture fragment and regional osteoporosis. The conclusion was
an acute distal femoral fracture. The radiology report, dated

1/15/20, of the right femur indicated a healing fracture above the knee arthoroplasty and the left femur
indicated a subacute/partial healing supracondylar fracture on the medial aspect of the knee with severe
demineralization.
The facility event tracking log indicated Resident #38 had a fall/lowered to floor on 11/27/19 at 6:30 a.m., an
unobserved event/injury on 12/6/19 at 7:00 p.m., and on 1/31/20 at 12:30 a.m., had a fall/lowered to floor.
The reportable event tracking log indicated Resident #38 had an alleged allegation of injury on 12/6/19.
On 2/12/20 at 10:39 a.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) was interviewed regarding Resident
#38's falls. She stated the fall, on 11/27/19, was witnessed by an aide, as the resident repositioned self in
the wheelchair then slid out onto the floor with both feet in front of her. Resident #38 complained of pain to
her right lower extremity and was sent to the hospital. The NHA stated about a week later, the resident
complained of left lower extremity pain, an X-ray was obtained, and previously obtained bloodwork was
returned as critical. The resident was sent to the hospital prior to the results of the X-ray. The X-ray at
hospital and the one obtained by the facility showed a left femur fracture. The NHA stated the facility had
multiple interventions in place, which included a low bed and to engage the resident to assist with fidgeting
with the braces and frequent clinical interventions.
On 2/12/20 at 11:00 a.m., an observation was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator, who was
also the facility Risk Manager, of Resident #38 and her room. The resident's bed was not at the lowest
position and there were no fall/floor mats in the room. The observation, on 2/12/20 at 11:00 a.m., was
confirmed by the NHA.
The policy titled, Person-Centered Care Plan, effective 11/28/16, reviewed 6/12/19, and revised 7/1/19,
identified the center must develop and implement a baseline person-centered care plan within 48 hours for
each patient that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care that meet
professional standards of quality care. The policy revealed the interdisciplinary team, in conjunction with the
patient and/or resident representative, as appropriate, will establish the expected goals and outcomes of
care, the type, amount, frequency, and duration of care, and any other factors related to the effectiveness of
the plan of care.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure one (#113) out of seven residents
with a nothing by mouth diet did not receive oral intake.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Resident #113 was admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included
diagnoses not limited to unspecified cerebral infarction and dysphagia following cerebral infarction. The
quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], identified the Brief Interview of Mental Score (BIMS) of
9, indicating a moderate cognitive impairment. The Swallowing/Nutritional status portion of the MDS
indicated the resident had a feeding tube, received more than 51% of intake and 501 cc (cubic centimeters)
per day or more from an artificial route.
An interview was attempted and an observation of Resident #113 was made at 9:52 a.m. on 2/10/20. The
observation revealed there was no enteral nutrition infusing into the resident. The resident stated he did not
know if he got nutrition through a feeding tube. On 2/11/20 at 5:04 p.m., Resident #113 was observed lying
in bed with an emesis basin sitting next to him. The resident confirmed feeling nauseous and said he did
not like the dining room, and got a meal tray.
A review, on 2/11/20, of Resident #113's physician order report indicated an order, dated 10/30/19, which
indicated a diet of Nothing by Mouth (NPO) and NPO texture. The Medication Administration Record (MAR)
and Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for Resident #113, dated 2/1-2/29/20, revealed the resident
had a NPO diet with NPO texture. A Video Swallow study, dated 1/16/2020, recommended regular texture
food and nectar-thick liquids. The recommendations indicated the resident was to sit upright when eating
and drinking, multiple swallows, small bites/sips, 1:1 feed due to impulsivity, and supplemental nutrition via
PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) until meeting adequate nutrition by mouth. The swallow study
indicated to continue PEG feed and start oral (po) food with Speech therapy (ST). A physician order, dated
2/1/20 at 13:02 (1:02 p.m.) indicated Resident #113 was to receive a nothing by mouth (NPO) diet with a
NPO texture.
On 2/12/20 at 8:49 a.m., when asked if Resident #113 ate, Staff Member G, Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA), confirmed Yes, he eats, we're going to feed him. As Staff G and Staff H (CNA), searched the meal
cart that sat on the unit, Staff G stated the resident's meal was thickened and that she had seen the
resident's meal tray in the cart. Staff G located a meal tray in the cart that did not have a diet ticket and
stated she thought this was for him. Staff H stated the resident had a regular diet. Staff G went to Staff
Member B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), who stated she had to review the chart; after reviewing she
stated the resident had been made NPO on 2/1/20.
On 2/12/20 at 9:26 a.m., Staff Member E, Dietary Manager, told an aide to take Resident #113 his meal
tray. At that time she stated she had a diet order for the resident in her office. Staff E supplied two Diet
Order and Communication forms, dated 2/3 and 2/12/20, which indicated a regular/liberalized diet with
nectar-like liquids. Staff E stated the order was clarified by the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and
the Director of Nursing (DON).

An order was created by the Director of Nursing (DON), on 2/12/20 at 9:16 a.m., for a regular/liberalized
diet with regular texture and nectar-thick liquids. The order indicated it was a clarification order as of 2/4/20.
The DON authored a progress note, dated 2/12/20 at 9:03 a.m, which indicated a call was placed to the MD
and the diet was clarified as of 2/4/20.
During an interview, on 2/12/20 at 9:54 a.m., the DON stated she had changed the order on 2/4/20 and the
resident had been NPO. She stated she had spoken with the physician on 2/4 to adjust back to regular diet
after holding the tube feeding. The DON stated the order was clarified on 2/12/20 after the nurse had
informed her that writer had questioned the resident's diet. She confirmed the staff was assisting Resident
#113 with eating without a diet order. She reviewed the physician orders, printed on 2/11/20 and confirmed
there was not an order for the resident's oral diet and had called the physician this morning and clarified the

2/11/2020 at 5:35 p.m., Resident #74 was observed lying in bed with her over-the-bedside tray containing
her dinner meal in front of her. She appeared to have only eaten a few bites of each food item. A sheet was
lying on her right side bunched up in a ball. She was wearing a shirt and her incontinent brief was exposed.
Resident #74 appeared comfortable and was non-verbal to one worded asked questions. The resident's
nursing assistant entered the room and was overheard asking her if she was going to eat any more of her

Residents Affected - Few
Review of Psychotropic/therapeutic Medication use Evaluation dated on 12/31/2019 did not include an
evaluation of targeted behaviors nor did it state as to why the medication was started.
Resident #83's care plan was reviewed with its focus stating Resident is at risk for complications related to
the use of psychotropic drugs Medications: Trazadone, Zoloft. The listed interventions of the care plan were
to monitor for changes in mental level and functional level, and monitor for side effects. No target behaviors
were identified for the licensed nurses to document the effectiveness of the medication that was being
administered. There was no monitoring in place for the use of the two antidepressant medications, and no
monitoring was found for the potential side effects of the medication.
On 02/11/20 at 2:22 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). She
was asked where the documentation would be located for behavioral and side effect monitoring for the
Lexapro and Risperdal. She stated We don't chart daily. It's only on exception. She said all the psychotropic
medications were reviewed monthly. She was asked at that time for the facility's process on monitoring
psychoactive medications.
On 02/11/20 at 5:45 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing; she stated, We don't
monitor for routine psychoactive medications. Only the 'as needed' ones. She was asked how the nurses
were able to identify what the target behavior was for the medication that they were administering. She said
in the resident's care plan.
On 02/12/20 at 2:05 p.m.,an interview was conducted with the facility Pharmacist. She stated, I look for the
monitoring of the medications. She was asked where the monitoring was located. She said that they have a
book; just ask them for it, they will show it to you. She confirmed that she was aware they would mark in the
book on the sheet if there was a behavior, and if no behavior, they did not mark it. The Pharmacist stated, I
have found that facilities have been doing it differently. Some are doing it on exception and others are doing
it daily. The Pharmacist was informed that the facility indicated they documented on the 'as needed' (PRN)
psychoactive medications, but not on the routine psychoactive medications.
The facility provided a copy of their policy titled Behaviors Management of Symptoms with a revision date
on 11/01/ 19.
5. If a patient can be managed in the center, initiate a Behavioral Monitoring and Interventions Flow
Record.
5.2 If the form is being used for patients receiving psychotropic medications including antipsychotic, use of
the form will be continued for as long as a patient is taking the medication.
5.2.1 The license nurse will monitor and document drug side effects on the behavior monitoring and

7. Reviewed behavior monitoring interventions flow record to identify patterns possible causes results of
non-pharmacological interventions, and side effect of medications, if present.
Based on observation, interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure that psychoactive
medications for four (#113,# 74, #80, and # 83) out of five residents were being monitored for target
behaviors and side effects.
Findings Included:
1. Resident #113 was admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included
diagnoses not limited to unspecified schizophrenia and other recurrent depressive disorders.
The residents' physician orders included an order for Fluoxetine 20 milligram - give 2 capsules via
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube at bedtime related to other recurrent depressive
disorders, start date 10/29/19. The February 2010 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated the
resident had received Fluoxetine daily at bedtime.
According to medlineplus.gov, Fluoxetine was used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder,
some eating disorders, and panic attacks. The side effects may cause nervousness, anxiety, difficulty falling
asleep or staying asleep, nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, heartburn, yawning, weakness, uncontrollable
shaking of a part of the body, loss of appetite, weight loss, changes in sex drive or ability, excessive sweaty,
and headache, confusion, weakness, difficulty concentrating or memory problems.
A review of the electronic record included a Behavior Monitoring record which did not include any
information; the Medication and Treatment Adninistration Records did not include monitoring for the number
of episodes that Resident #113 exhibited, the types of behaviors that the resident exhibited, side effects
caused by the medication, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and/or the effectiveness of the
anti-depressant, Fluoxetine. The physical record indicated a Behavior Monitoring and Interventions record,
dated 10/31/19, which did not include any behavior symptoms, number of episodes, or non-pharmacologic
interventions.
The care plan for Resident #113 indicated the resident exhibited or was at risk for distressed/fluctuating
mood symptoms related to sadness/depression caused by functional changes and the diagnosis (dx) of
schizoeffective disorder, initiated 8/27/19 and revised on 9/16/19. The interventions instructed staff to
observe for signs/symptoms of worsening sadness/depression/anxiety/fear/anger/agitation.
The Psychotropic/Therapeutic Medication Use Evaluation, effective 12/31/19, indicated staff were to refer to
Behavior Monitoring and Intervention flow record as well as Nursing/Social Services progress notes to
assess the behavior trends since the last evaluation. The facility answered the behavior trends as N/A
behavior symptoms not present prior to this review. The summarization indicated no behaviors were noted
at the time of the evaluation. The non-pharmacological interventions summary indicated staff listened to the
resident and redirected with positive effect, and was to refer to the Behavior Monitoring Intervention flow
record. The evaluation indicated an increase in medication on 10/29/19. The evaluation instructed staff to
refer to the Behavior Monitoring and Interventions flow record and the Medication Administration Record to
assist with answering the question regarding the monitoring for side effects. The facility indicated no side
effects were noted. The evaluation revealed the recommendation for the care plan was to monitor for side
effects and consult physician and/or

it and the other had a red-colored liquid in it. The staff member returned to the medication cart, withdrew
the Flexpen, removed the cap, and applied a needle. The staff member kept the Flexpen in a horizontal
position and dialed the pen to 10 units then returned to the resident room and administered the insulin in
the right lower abdominal quadrant.
A review of the physician orders and the Medication Administration Record for Resident #58 revealed the
above medication was to be administered per a sliding scale subcutaneously before meals and at bedtime.
The sliding scale indicated 10 units of Novolog was to be administered for a blood glucose level of 271.
After the administration of the Novolog, at 12:03 p.m. on 2/11/20, the observation of not priming the Flexpen
was discussed with Staff Member J, who stated the Flexpen had been primed.
During an interview, on 12/12/20 at 2:04 p.m., when asked about her expectation for priming the Flexpen
prior to use, the Consulting Pharmacist stated she was not sure about priming the pen prior to use and was
unsure if the resident received the correct dose of Insulin.
According to novo-pi.com/novolog, the instructions for use of a Flexpen educated users to give an airshot
before each injection, as small amounts of air may collect in the cartridge during normal use and to avoid
injecting air and to ensure proper dosage. The guide instructed users to apply a needle, turn the dose
selector to 2 units, hold the Flexpen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge a few times to make any
air bubbles collect at the top of the cartridge, and push the button all the way until the dose selector returns
to zero (0).
The policy titled, Medication Administration: General, effective 1/1/04, reviewed 5/31/19, and revised on
11/1/19, indicated the policy and procedures are guidelines and are not intended to replace the informed
judgment and professional discretion of individual clinicians, nor are they intended to establish the standard
of care applicable to the assessment or treatment of any particular condition and the unique needs of each
patient. The purpose of the policy was to provide a safe, effective medication administration process. The
policy did not address the procedure for administering medications as ordered by the physician unless
there was a discrepancy with the order which needed clarification.
The policy titled, Medication Administration: Injectable (Intramuscular (IM), Subcutaneous (Sub-Q, Z-track),
effective 1/1/04 and revised 11/1/19. The policy did not address the procedure for Insulin administration with
an Insulin Flexpen.
The policy titled, Insulin Pens, effective 10/1/12, reviewed 3/1/16, and revised 11/1/19, did not include the
procedure for the administration of insulin utilizing a Flexpen.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility did not ensure food was served at an appetizing
temperature and menu items were changed according to season.
On 2/11/20 at 11:00 a.m., a Comprehensive Tour was done of the kitchen with Staff E, Dietary Manager.
Six staff members were observed present and assisting with meal preparation. Staff E stated she would be
checking the temperature of each food item, and that the temperature for the items had not been taken
prior. Staff E stated, All of the puree food items were served hot because that's the way the residents like it.
Staff E stated, It's been that way since I've been here.
Findings included:
Milk at 41 degrees Fahrenheit
Regular Buttermilk Coleslaw at 40 degrees Fahrenheit
Buttermilk Coleslaw Puree at 200 degrees Fahrenheit
Deluxe Mac and Cheese Regular at 200 degrees Fahrenheit
Mac and Cheese Puree at 190 degrees Fahrenheit
Stewed Tomatoes Regular at 170 degrees Fahrenheit
Alternative veggie at 180 degrees Fahrenheit
Cheese sauce at 180 degrees Fahrenheit
BBQ Pulled at 180 degrees Fahrenheit
Tater Totes at 160 degrees Fahrenheit
A copy of the recipe for Buttermilk [NAME] Slaw was provided and reviewed. Procedures states:
2 Cover and Chill for at least 2-3 hours to allow flavors to blend. Chill to 41 degrees or below for services.
Notes states: Puree: Prepare per recipe. Cover and chill to 41 degrees or below for service.
On 02/11/20 at 1:44 p.m., an interview with the Dietician was conducted. She said the puree food items
should be soft and well cooked. She stated, I know since I've been here, all the pureed food items were
served hot, but I tell them when in doubt, follow the menu's instructions. The coleslaw should be chilled, I
would have preferred it be served cold. This is the first I've heard of a coleslaw being heated, instead of
cooled. They should have maybe used an alternative like buttermilk mashed potatoes, instead of the
coleslaw.
On 02/11/20 at 01:54 p.m., the Dietary Manager stated, For the residents who receive puree diets,

we give them all hot. I find that when the purees are hot, they consume them. The coleslaw was served in
this meal as a garnish as a 2oz portion.
During Resident Council on 2/11/20 at 02:13 p.m. food items were discussed, and Resident #111 stated, I
eat my food puree and coleslaw should never be served hot. Was there mayonnaise in it? Can't you get
poisoned? I don't like my stuff all mixed up. Other residents in attendance stated they just don't eat the food.
Resident #37 stated I am president of the food committee and they always make excuses when we voice
our concerns about the food.
On 02/11/20 at 3:50 p.m. the facility Dietician stated We received a response back from the corporate
Dietician, who stated that the food item should have been changed out, due to the season change. The
coleslaw should have been changed to another food item. The ingredients state the food item should be
chilled and so that is how I would expect the item to be. The food item will be changed immediately. (Email
provided)
Review of email from Healthcare Services groups with subject State Survey in building, revealed Genesis
previously allowed cold salads that were pureed smooth up until Fall/Winter menu was released with the
new diet manual. This item was missed with the update. If you let me know what facility you are at, we can
update the food item immediately, and then check other accounts in your area.

3. On 02/09/20 at 2:06 p.m., a Certified Nursing Assistant (Staff A), was observed standing outside of
Resident #166's door. She appeared to be speaking to a family member that was in the bedroom. At that
time, the family member handed Resident #166's meal tray to Staff A. Staff A placed the tray in the left palm
of her hand and her right hand held the corner edge of it. She balanced the tray for approximately 5 feet
where she approached the meal cart. With her right hand, she opened the door of the cart and placed the
tray inside, then used her right hand to close the cart door and lock the latch. Staff A walked approximately
twenty-five feet to the end of the hallway and used the wall hand sanitizer.
Residents Affected - Few
At 2:10 p.m. Licensed Practical Nurse F was in the hallway. She confirmed that Resident #166 was on
isolation. She was asked why the resident was on isolation. She stated Clostridioides Difficile (C-diff). LPN
F was then asked how hand care was conducted after touching residents' items in their rooms. She stated,
You're supposed to use soap and water for C-diff.
At 2:20 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Infection Control Preventionist. She confirmed that hands
should be washed with soap and water and not hand sanitizer.
Medical record review was conducted that revealed on the admission Record form, the resident was
admitted at the end of January 2020, with the diagnosis of C-diff.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (at https://www.cdc.gov/cdiff/prevent.html),
Clostridioides difficile is formerly known as Clostridium Difficile and often called C. Difficile or C. diff. C. diff
is a bacterium (germ) that causes diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon). Most cases of C. diff
occur while you're taking antibiotics or soon after you've finished taking antibiotics. C. diff can be deadly. C.
diff germs are carried from person to person in poop. If someone with C. diff (or caring for someone with C.
diff) doesn't clean their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, they can spread the germs to
everything they touch. When someone else touches the skin of that person, or the surfaces that person
touched, they can pick up the germs on their hands. C. diff germs are so small relative to our size that if you
were the size of the state of California, a germ would be the size of a baseball home plate. There's no way
you can see C. diff germs on your hands, but that doesn't mean they're not there. Washing with soap and
water is the only way to prevent the spread from person to person.
4. On 2/11/20 at 11:20 a.m., wound care observation was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),
Staff C. She indicated the wound care was for Resident #83's left heel. Resident #83 was noted from
outside of the bedroom door lying in bed and appeared comfortable. He made eye contact but did not
verbally respond as the nurse spoke with him. Staff C had already prepared the supplies; they were present
in his bedroom on a barrier that laid on top of his over the bedside table. Staff C put on a yellow gown and a
clean pair of gloves. The room was entered; the bedside table was noted containing a pair of scissors with a
purple handle, two slit dry dressings, one small non-adherent dressing, a bottle of normal saline, paper
tape and Kerlix. She was asked what was in the souffle cup; she stated it was Santyl ointment.
A barrier had been placed under the resident's left foot. Staff C cut off the dressing to his foot with the
scissors. The scissors were then placed on the barrier under his foot.
The old dressing was noted with a moderate amount of yellow and red drainage. Staff C disposed of

The wound presented in an irregular shape with the border appearing maceration from 9 to 12. The wound
bed contained red and yellow tissue without odor or active drainage. Staff C poured normal saline on the
split dressing and cleaned the wound with normal saline and disposed of the soiled dressing in a red bag.
With the same gloves, she picked up a clean split dressing and lightly patted the wound dry. She disposed
of the dressing in the red bag. She picked up a clean cotton tipped applicator and placed it inside of the cup
that contained the Santyl. Then the Santyl was applied to the wound bed. The non-adhering dressing was
placed on the wound, followed by the Kerlix wrap. The table that contained the supplies were disposed of in
a red bag. Staff C picked up the scissors and exited the bedroom. The scissors were placed on top of the
treatment cart's bare surface.
Residents Affected - Few
At 11:40 a.m., the scissors with the purple handle were observed being cleaned. At that time, the Director
of Nursing was on the unit and was asked about bringing items in and out of a resident's bedroom that was
on isolation for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The DON stated, The scissors should
have been left in the bedroom.
Medical record review was conducted for Resident #83 that contained Lab Result Report with the report
dated on 02/09/2020. The report indicated two organisms were present. One of the two stated light growth
methicillin resistant staph aureus. Wound notes indicated that the wound to the left heel was a diabetic
wound, measuring 3.81 cm length and 2.36 cm in width.
According to Wikipedia (at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant_Staphylococcus_aureus),
MRSA Super bug Bacteria
Description: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus refers to a group of Gram-positive bacteria that are
genetically distinct from other strains of Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is responsible for several
difficult-to-treat infections in humans. Both surgical and nonsurgical wounds can be infected with
HA-MRSA.[1][5][20] Surgical site infections occur on the skin surface, but can spread to internal organs and
blood to cause sepsis.[1] Transmission can occur between healthcare providers and patients because
some providers may neglect to perform preventative hand-washing between examinations.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (at
https://www.cdc.gov/mrsa/community/environment/index.html),
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can survive on some surfaces, like towels, razors,
furniture, and athletic equipment for hours, days, or even weeks. It can spread to people who touch a
contaminated surface, and MRSA can cause infections if it gets into a cut, scrape, or open wound.
The DON provided a copy of their policy and procedure titled, Infection Control Policies and Procedures,
that contained revision date on 6/15/19.
Policy: In addition to Standard Precautions, Contact Precautions will be used for disease transmitted by
direct or indirect contact with the patient or the patient's environment. State regulations will be followed
when applicable.
Purpose: To reduces the risk of epidemiologically import microorganisms by direct or indirect

disposable equipment when available.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observation, interview and medical record & policy review, the facility failed to ensure that applied
infection control practices for four (# 58, 94, 166, and 84) of thirty-nine sampled residents were consistent
with facility policy and/or current standards of practice including:
1. An invasive device was cleaned and sanitized in between use for one (#58) resident;
2. That a non-invasive device was cleaned and sanitized after use for one (#94) resident;
3. That appropriate hand hygiene was utilized for one (#166) resident with Clostridioides Difficile;
4. And that personal care equipment was not removed from the room after being used for one
(#84) resident with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to a wound.
Findings Included:
1. During the observation of medication administration, which began at 10:08 a.m. on 2/11/20, Staff
Member D, Registered Nurse (RN), was observed obtaining a blood pressure of Resident #94. The staff
member removed a purple blood pressure cuff and stethoscope from the bottom of drawer of the
medication cart. Staff Member D placed the blood pressure cuff around the left arm of the resident and laid
the manometer on the bed next to the resident. After the medication administration, the staff member
returned to the cart, applied gloves, and removed a bleach wipe from a container in the bottom drawer.
Staff Member D used the bleach wipe to clean the stethoscope and while holding the cuff in one hand, the
staff member used the bleach wipe to wipe the purple cloth of the manual cuff, then placed both in the
bottom drawer. The staff member did not disinfect the manometer or tubing that had been in contact with
the resident's bed linens.
At 10:36 a.m. on 2/11/20, Staff Member D confirmed the blood pressure cuff tubing and meter had been
lying next to the resident during medication administration and had not been cleaned after use.
2. An observation was conducted, on 2/11/20 at 11:25 a.m., with Staff Member J, Registered Nurse (RN).
Staff Member J removed an Evencare G2 glucometer and supplies from the medication cart, then entered
the resident's room. The staff member was observed washing hands prior to obtaining a blood glucose level
of a resident. The observation revealed no visible soap bubbles on the staff member's hands or in the sink.
After obtaining the blood glucose level, Staff Member J washed hands for approximately 10 seconds with
minimal soap then returned to the medication cart. The staff member wiped the glucometer with a Clorox
Healthcare Bleach wipe, placed it in a plastic cup, cleaned an extra lancet and the bottle of test strips, then
disposed of the bleach wipe. The staff member stated she was going to wait 3-4 minutes for the glucometer
to dry. Staff Member J dispensed the resident's oral medications and withdrew a vial of Novolog from the
top drawer of the medication cart. After disinfecting the top of the insulin vial, the staff member drew up 4
units, laid the syringe cap on top of the cart, and while holding the cap with left hand, the staff member
inserted the needle back into the cap with her right hand. Staff Member J laid the medication and syringe
