FA mostly affects the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves that connect the spinal cord to the body's muscles and sensory organs. FA also affects the function of the cerebellum, a structure at the back of the brain that helps plan and coordinate movements. (It does not affect the parts of the brain involved in mental functions, however.) Onset is typically between 10 and [AGE] years of age, but FA has been diagnosed in people from ages 2 to 50.

F 0694 Preparation Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 1. Check the state's nurse practice act for LPNs regarding scope of practice for changing a central venous catheter dressing. Residents Affected - Some 2. A physicians order is not needed for this procedure General guidelines 1. Apply and maintain sterile dressing on intravenous access devices. Dressings must stay clean, dry, and intact. 2. Change dressings if any suspicion of contamination is suspected 4. After original insertion of central venous access device (CVAD), the dressing will consist of gauze and TSM. This must be changed within 24 hours a. Replace with sterile transparent dressing. b. Use gauze under the TSM if there is drainage from the catheter insertion site. 5. change transparent semi permeable membrane TSM dressings at least every 5 to 7 days and PRN when wet, soiled, or not intact. On 5/18/21 at 9:52 AM an observation was conducted. Resident #83 was in his room watching television in his bed. His left upper arm had a single lumen central catheter line visible below his sleeve. The dressing was not intact at the bottom where it was lifting away. The only portion of the date visible due to faded ink at the time was the first number, which was a four, indicating the dressing was last changed in April. On 5/19/21 at 9:44 AM an observation and interview was conducted with Staff X, RN (registered nurse) unit manager (UM). Staff X, RN UM said Resident #83 was admitted on IV antibiotics. He has completed those. Staff X, RN UM confirmed the first number on the date on the single lumen Midline dressing was a four. The full date was visible and upon closer observation, it was a very faded 4/22. Staff X, RN UM said she was not sure what the second number was. Staff X, RN UM also confirmed the dressing was not intact. Staff X, RN UM said she believed the dressing changes are once a week. There is a house order to change it every seven days. On 5/19/21 at 10:27 AM an interview was conducted with the ADON (assistant director of nursing), who was the acting interim DON (director of nursing). The ADON said the central line dressings have to be changed every seven days. On 5/19/21 at 10:31 AM an interview was conducted with the NHA (nursing home administrator). The NHA said she vaguely heard about the concern. The ADON is the risk manager. On 5/19/21 at 10:57 AM a follow up interview was conducted with Staff X , RN UM. She said they have a call out to the physician to see if they can discontinue the mid line IV catheter. Staff X, RN UM also confirmed the IV antibiotic was discontinued in April.

F 0694 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 5/20/21 at 2:21 PM an interview was conducted with Staff Y, LPN (licensed practical nurse). Staff Y, LPN said he had a central line to the right upper arm. It was for IV antibiotics. She thinks the central line was for one or two more doses of IV antibiotics. She said if the central line was inserted at the facility then twenty-four hours later the dressing has to be changed. If they came with it, we assess it. We put an order in for every seven days from the day of admission if it was dated the same day. Staff Y, LPN reviewed the April and May MAR with surveyor and confirmed she signed the dressing change on April twenty-eighth and May twelfth. She said she was not aware the dressing was dated 4/22 yesterday. She wasn't here yesterday so she can't speak to that. She does not recall what happened in April. She said there was an emergency on May twelfth. She brought the dressing change supplies to the room and got called away to an emergency. She must have forgotten the dressing change and signed the treatment in error. She doesn't know if the physician was aware the antibiotic was discontinued a day or so after Resident #83 came to the facility. She said she signs the treatments after she does them. She said she must have signed the treatment in error. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Checklist for Prevention of Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections at https://www.cdc.gov/hai/pdfs/bsi/checklist-for-clabsi.pdf Clinicians should: Handle and maintain central lines appropriately Comply with hand hygiene requirements. Bathe ICU patients over 2 months of age with a chlorhexidine preparation on a daily basis. Scrub the access port or hub with friction immediately prior to each use with an appropriate antiseptic (chlorhexidine, povidone iodine, an iodophor, or 70% alcohol). Use only sterile devices to access catheters. Immediately replace dressings that are wet, soiled, or dislodged. Perform routine dressing changes using aseptic technique with clean or sterile gloves. · Change gauze dressings at least every two days or semipermeable dressings at least every seven days. · For patients [AGE] years of age or older, use a chlorhexidine impregnated dressing with an FDA cleared label that specifies a clinical indication for reducing CLABSI for short-term non-tunneled catheters unless the facility is demonstrating success (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105491 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 18 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105491 B.

Residents Affected - Some · If blood or blood products or fat emulsions are administered change tubing every 24 hours. · If propofol is administered, change tubing every 6-12 hours or when the vial is changed. Promptly remove unnecessary central lines Perform daily audits to assess whether each central line is still needed. Healthcare Organizations should: Educate healthcare personnel about indications for central lines, proper procedures for insertion and maintenance, and appropriate infection prevention measures. Designate personnel who demonstrate competency for the insertion and maintenance of central lines. Periodically assess knowledge of and adherence to guidelines for all personnel involved in the insertion and maintenance of central lines. Provide a checklist to clinicians to ensure adherence to aseptic insertion practices. Reeducate personnel at regular intervals about central line insertion, handling and maintenance, and whenever related policies, procedures, supplies, or equipment changes. Empower staff to stop non-emergent insertion if proper procedures are not followed. Ensure efficient access to supplies for central line insertion and maintenance (i.e. create a bundle with all needed supplies).
