Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement two (#90's
and #151) residents' care plans for nebulizer treatment, nebulizer equipment cleaning and tracheostomy
care of 33 resident sampled.
Findings Included:
1. Review of Resident #90's care plan reflected a focus area of oxygen therapy related to respiratory illness
and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease initiated 12/26/19, revised on 6/20/19. Interventions included
special equipment oxygen initiated 12/26/18. Give medications as ordered by physician. Monitor/document
side effects and effectiveness initiated 12/26/18 revised on 3/20/19. Administer oxygen as ordered initiated
on 12/26/18 revised on 3/20/19.
During an interview on 11/25/19 at 11:20 a.m. with staff member C, LPN she confirmed she gave Resident
#90 her breathing treatment and turned off the machine before she left the room. Staff member C, LPN
confirmed she removed the mask from the resident and did not clean the nebulizer before putting the mask
back in the bag. Staff member C, stated she listened to the resident's lungs and checked her oxygen level.
When asked what the oxygen level was before and after. Staff member C, LPN stated she did not document
lung sounds or oxygen level because she had nowhere to document on the Medication administration
record or treatment administration record.
During an interview on 11/25/19 at 10:20 a.m. with Resident #90, she confirmed she will give herself
breathing treatments and confirmed the nurses do not listen to her lungs or check her oxygen level with
each treatment. Resident #90 stated she has been sent to the hospital several times for low oxygen levels.
Resident #90 stated she was getting this treatment due to getting winded when she transfers from her bed
to her wheel chair.
During an interview with staff member D, Interim Director of Nursing (DON), on 11/25/19 at 12:17 p.m. she
confirmed the nurse should be evaluating lung sounds and checking oxygen level with nebulizer treatments.
Review of physician orders reflected: change nebulizer tubing every week as needed label tubing with date
when changed, dated 10/30/19. Change nebulizer tubing every week, every night shift every Thursday for
shortness of breath. Label tubing with date when changed dated 10/30/19. Change oxygen tubing and set
up weekly as needed label tubing with date when changed, dated 10/30/19. Change oxygen tubing and set
up weekly every night shift, every Thursday for shortness of breath, label tubing with date when changed,
dated 10/30/19. Clean oxygen filter every Thursday for shortness of breath dated 10/30/19. Resident can
self administer nebulizer treatments dated 11/25/19.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure strawberries were stored
and maintained in a safe and sanitary manner, and failed to appropriately store kitchen staff's drinks in two
(2) of three (3) refrigerators sampled.
Findings included
During the initial kitchen tour on 11/24/19 at 9:45 a.m., an observation of the walk-in refrigerator included
on the second shelf, a cardboard box that contained two (2) boxes of moldy strawberries. (Photographic
Evidence Obtained.) Staff A, Kitchen Cook, confirmed the presence of both boxes of moldy strawberries,
and quickly removed them throwing them into a nearby garbage receptacle.
On 11/24/19 at 9:45 a.m. during an observation of the cook's refrigerator a white plastic bag with two (2)
large cans of Mountain Dew soda drink was seen on the first shelf of the refrigerator. Staff A stated, That is
mine, I forgot to date it. Staff A later revealed that storage of facility food items for resident meals such as
butter, eggs and cheese are kept in the cook's refrigerator.
An interview was conducted with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) on 11/27/2018 at 10:00 a.m., She
was informed and asked about the concerns observed during the initial kitchen tour. She stated I went
through the walk-in on Friday and cleaned it out, we had a big party in the facility. If you found two (2) boxes
of moldy strawberries considering how many we had, then that is good. She further confirmed that her
kitchen staff should not be storing their personal drink items in the cook's refrigerator. The CDM stated I
have a special place on the bottom shelf of the walk-in and that is where they can keep their drinks. The
CDM showed the surveyor the place that she expects her staff to put dated personal drink items that they
bring into the facility kitchen for their own private use.
A review of the facility's policy HCSG Policy 017, titled Receiving, Revised 9/2017, Page 01 of 06, included
under Procedures reads:
6. All food items will be stored in a manner that ensures appropriate and timely utilization based on the
principles of first in-first out (FIFO) inventory management.
