observations, interviews, and resident record review, the facility failed to ensure reasonable
accommodations were made for one resident (#74) related to not providing an appropriate length mattress
to ensure the resident's feet did not touch the footboard of six residents sampled.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
During an observation and interview conducted on 7/10/23 at 9:55 a.m. Resident #74 said his feet
frequently touch the footboard. Resident #74 stated staff need to reposition me although even with the
knees raised, I slide right back down. I am 6'7; they don't have a bed for my height. When I requested a
longer mattress, I was given this bed and was told this is the longest they have, it will have to do.
On 7/10/23 at 12:20 p.m. Resident #74 was observed in his bed sitting up and eating his lunch. His feet
were touching the footboard and his heels were not supported by the mattress as there was a gap of
approximately 7 ½ inches. (Photographic Evidence Obtained)

to his feet pressing on the footboard and he gets tired of having to bother the staff to move him up
constantly. I am not able to move myself up in the bed. Resident #74 stated he has told several staff
members, nurses, maintenance staff and CNAs (certified nursing assistants). They all continue to say there
is nothing more that can be done.

Resident #74's bed. She continued to state, she found a cushion intended to prevent such a gap. Resident
#74 told me the cushion won't fit, it just falls on the floor. Of course I tried to place the cushion between the
mattress and the footboard, he was right the cushion just fell to the floor.
During an interview and observation on 7/12/23 at 12:18 p.m., Staff P, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),
validated Resident #74's feet were on the foot board of the bed and heels were not supported by the
mattress. Staff P, LPN stated she would speak with Director of Nursing (DON) about different options for the
situation, as this is not optimal.
During an interview and observation on 7/12/23 at 12:20 p.m. the DON validated Resident #74's feet were
hitting the foot board and a gap between the mattress and footboard existed. The DON stated she would
have to get with maintenance and the Administrator regarding what could be done.

A review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 06/07/23, showed Resident #77 did
not use oxygen.
During an interview on 07/13/23 at 11:05 a.m., Staff C, LPN MDS stated Resident #77's Quarterly MDS,
dated [DATE], the oxygen use was marked No, which was wrong. Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN) MDS also
stated, at this time, that oxygen use on Resident #77's Quarterly MDS was marked in error and should
have been marked yes.
Based on record review, observations, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was accurately coded for two residents (Resident #74 and #77) of
fourteen sampled residents.
Findings included:
1. Review of the admission Record showed Resident #74 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of
metabolic encephalopathy, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic pulmonary edema, chronic respiratory failure
with hypoxia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure and history
of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease of 2019).
An observation on 7/10/23 at 10:00 a.m. revealed Resident #74 with a non-invasive mechanical ventilator
(BiPAP [bilevel positive airway pressure]/CPAP[continuous positive airway pressure]) at his bedside.
During an interview on 7/11/22 at 3:00 p.m., Resident #74 stated he has had the BiPAP since his hospital
stay. Resident #74 stated he had significant breathing problems that included having a tracheostomy
(surgical opening created in the neck into the trachea [windpipe] to allow air to fill the lungs. After creating
the opening a tube is placed in the hole which creates the airway and being on a continuous ventilator). He
stated he has improved and was able to have the tracheotomy removed before discharging from the
hospital, now he only must wear the BiPAP at night.
Review of Resident #74's physician orders, dated 6/14/23, revealed an order for BiPAP to be applied every
evening.

Review of Resident #74's Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 6/19/23
revealed in Section C - Cognitive Patterns a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 out of 15,
which revealed the resident was cognitively intact. Further review of the MDS revealed no documentation
that Resident #74 had a BiPAP, during admission, or prior to admission.
During an interview on 7/13/23 at 11:10 a.m., with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff C, LPN
stated she was responsible for completing the section of the MDS that would indicate a Non-Invasive
Mechanical Ventilator (BiPAP/CPAP). Staff C, LPN verified the resident had an order for a BiPAP here and
had one prior to admission and verified the assessments for non-invasive mechanical ventilator
(BiPAP/CPAP) were inaccurately coded.
During an interview on 7/13/23 at 9:30 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the accuracy of the MDS
was important.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to confirm the accuracy of a Pre-admission
Screening and Resident Review and failed to correct the document for three residents (#10, #105, and #36)
out of forty-seven residents sampled when mental illness or suspected mental illness diagnoses were
identified and added to the resident's medical diagnoses .
Findings included:
1. A review of Resident #10's admission Record indicated an original admission date of 4/2/18 and a recent
re-admission date of 3/23/23. The census list for the resident identified additional admission dates of
9/28/18 and 12/14/19.
A Preadmission Screening and Resident Review, Level I Screen for Resident #10, dated 4/2/18, indicated
N/A in sections A. Mental Illness (MI) or suspected MI and B. Intellectual Disability (ID) or suspected ID.
Section II: Other indications for PASRR (PASARR) Screen Decision-Making identified the resident had no
indications. Section IV indicated the resident may be admitted to a Nursing Facility (NF) as no diagnosis or
suspicion of serious MI (SMI) or ID was identified and a Level II evaluation was not required.
The Diagnosis Report for Resident #10 identified the following diagnoses:
- unspecified major depressive disorder, single episode - present on admission, onset date 4/2/18 and
resolved on 10/1/19.
- unspecified mood (affective) disorder - present on admission, onset date 11/20/18.
- unspecified anxiety disorder - present on admission, onset date 11/20/18.
- schizoaffective disorder bipolar type - present on admission, onset date 9/15/19.
- adjustment disorder with anxiety - during stay, onset date 10/1/19.
- unspecified recurrent major depressive disorder - during stay, onset date 10/1/19.
- other bipolar disorder - during stay, onset date 10/1/19.
The comprehensive assessment for Resident #10, dated 6/26/23, identified the resident had active
psychiatric/mood disorders of anxiety disorder, depression (other than bipolar), bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, and unspecified mood (affective) disorder.
A psychiatry note, dated 6/14/23, included the chief complaints as depression, anxiety, and insomnia. The
reason for the encounter was reported to me that patient is unstable requiring psychiatric assessment. The
assessment and plan read patient (pt) is unstable but requires no med (medication) changes and the
provider felt symptoms were occurring due to exacerbation of underlying depressed disorder.

2. Resident #105's admission Record identified an admission date of 6/1/23. The admission Record for the
resident included the diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder due to history and with an onset date of
6/28/23. The Diagnosis Report identified the resident had a history of schizophreniform disorder with an
onset date of 6/28/23.
The PASARR, dated 4/21/23, and completed at an acute care facility identified that Resident #105 had a
documented history of depressive disorder.
A review of Resident #105's comprehensive assessment, dated 6/7/23, did not identify that the resident had
any psychiatric/mood disorders.
A psychiatry evaluation note, dated 6/7/23, identified Resident #105 had chief complaints of depression and
schizophrenia. Per the evaluation, the resident was receiving the antidepressant, Escitalopram daily for
depression and the antipsychotic medication, Olanzapine twice daily for psychotic disorder. The
assessment and plan indicated a gradual dose reduction was considered but based on history, the patient
would be unable to tolerate the reduction and would likely become unstable, therefore the provider felt the
resident was on the minimal effective doses of the psychotropic medications.
3. A review of Resident #36's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] and
4/28/23. The admission Record included the following diagnoses:
- schizoaffective disorder - bipolar type, was present on admission with an onset date of 10/11/21.
- schizoaffective disorder - depressive type, history of with an onset date of 5/31/23.
The modified 5-day comprehensive assessment, dated 5/4/23, identified Resident #36 had an active
diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Resident #36's PASARR which was completed at an acute care facility and dated 10/11/21, did not have a
documented history of any mental illness or intellectual disability. The resident's PASARR indicated a Level
II PASARR evaluation was not required.
The amended Cognitive Assessment note, dated 5/5/23, identified the chief complaint of Resident #36 was
depression, anxiety, schizoaffective disorder, and pseudobulbar affect. The note indicated the facility was
requiring a detailed cognitive assessment as the resident was exhibiting behaviors related to memory
problems. The note included the diagnoses of moderate recurrent major depressive disorder, generalized
anxiety disorder, depressive type schizoaffective disorder, and pseudobulbar affect and appeared to have
major cognitive disorder of mixed etiology.
The psychiatry note, dated 6/14/23, indicated Resident #36's chief complaint was depression, anxiety,
schizoaffective disorder, and pseudobulbar affect. The plan of action indicated the provider decided to
continue the antipsychotic medications of Aripiprazole (Abilify), Geodon, and Fluphenazine for
schizoaffective disorder, the anticonvulsant Depakote for mood disorder, and the antidepressant
Venlafaxine.
On 7/13/23 at 7:41 a.m., the Social Service Director (SSD) stated that either the SSD and/or Director of
Nursing (DON) review the PASARRs. The SSD reported they normally do not do the PASARR due to being
a Licensed Practical Nurse and not a licensed Social Worker, so the DON and/or Assistant DON deal with
them.

The DON stated, on 7/13/23 at 9:54 a.m., there was not a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) (for
PASARRs) and have discussed doing an audit but haven't started. The DON reported when the PASARR
waiver ended the facility identified they were old or diagnoses had been added but the facility did not have a
process. The DON reviewed the PASARR for Resident #10 and concluded the resident did have psychiatric
diagnoses and that N/A was not appropriate. The DON stated Resident #105's PASARR was incorrect, it
listed depression but should have listed schizoaffective (disorder), and that Resident #36 did have
diagnoses that should have been included on the PASARR.
The policy titled, Resident Assessment - Coordination with PASARR Program, dated 9/7/22, revealed, This
facility coordinates assessments with the preadmission screening and resident review (PASARR) program
under Medicaid to ensure that individuals with mental disorder intellectual disability, or a related condition
receives care and services in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. The guidelines
indicated that all applicants to the facility would be screened for serious mental disorders or intellectual
disabilities and related conditions in accordance with the State's Medicaid rules for screening. A Negative
Level I Screen permits admission and ends the PASARR process unless a possible serious mental disorder
or intellectual disability arises later or a Positive Level I indicates that a Level II evaluation is necessary prior
to admission. A PASARR Level II is a comprehensive evaluation by the appropriate state-designated
authority (cannot be completed by the facility) that determines whether the individual has MD, ID or related
condition, determines the appropriate setting for the individual, and recommends any specialized services
and/or rehabilitative services the individual needs. The policy identified that any resident who exhibited a
newly evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition would be
promptly referred to the state mental health or intellectual disability authority for a level II resident review.
The examples given included, a resident who exhibits behavioral, psychiatric, or mood related symptoms
suggesting the presence of a mental disorder (where dementia is not the primary diagnosis), and a resident
whose intellectual disability or related condition was not previously identified and evaluated through
PASARR.

Findings included:
1. An observation was conducted on 7/10/23 at 12:27 p.m. of Resident #93 lying in bed, the resident stated
the bed sheets were piled. The observation identified an area of rolled gauze, dated 6/27/23, on the right
upper arm and a white bordered dressing, dated 7/1/23, on the left knee.
On 7/10/23 at 12:39 p.m., Staff P, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) observed Resident #93's dressings. Staff
P reported not seeing the right upper arm rolled gauze earlier, another nurse was taking care of wounds,
and maybe that nurse had dated (6/27/23) it wrong. Staff P removed the resident's sock from the left heel
and stated the dressing was dated 7/1/23. The observation identified the left heel of the resident had eschar
attached to the wound bed. Staff P, LPN removed the dressing to Resident #93's left knee and confirmed

The Wound Care Specialist noted on 1/4/23, identified right knee and a left hand trauma wounds that were
present on admission. The measurement of the right knee was 1.8 x 2.8 x 0.3 centimeters with 100%
granulation tissue. The specialist ordered the wound to be cleaned with wound cleanser, petrolatum to be
applied and the dressing changed three times a week and the left hand to be cleansed with wound
cleanser three times a week. The note indicated the treatment was discussed with the nurse (unidentified)
and the plan was for petrolatum gauze.
The Wound Care Specialist noted on 1/11/23 that both the Right knee and Left hand was resolved and that
skin prep was to be applied daily for one week as resolved wounds do not achieve their original tensile
strength (measurement of the wounds load capacity per unit area). It is possible for wounds to recur.
A review of Resident #461's care plan included a focus that identified the resident has potential/actual
impairment to skin integrity related to (r/t) resolved right knee and left hand, initiated on 1/3/23 and revised
on 2/1/23. The nutrition care plan indicated the resident was at risk for altered nutrition status secondary to
diagnosis (dx) dementia, diabetes mellitus (DM), heart disease, GERD, wounds, (and) receives therapeutic
diet.
The review of Resident #461's January Medication and Treatment Administration Records (MAR/TAR) did
not include wound care orders for the necrotic toes, the skin tear to the right forearm noted on the 1/9/23
Weekly Skin Check, the right knee, and/or left hand skin tears.
A nursing note, dated 1/22/23 at 12:43 p.m., identified Resident #461 was found to have open area to left
great toe, wound was cleaned and dressed.
A nursing note, dated 1/22/23 at 4:28 p.m. revealed Resident #461's family member checked the resident's
skin prior to discharging home and noted sock was dried to right toe. [Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN)] was called to look at top of the resident's right great toe, looked like his toe had been bleeding and
dried up. The staff member noted that wound cleanser was used to clean it and applied (Collagenase) and
wrapped with rolled gauze.
On 7/12/23 at 2:07 p.m., the DON stated the expectation would be to monitor the toes and dependent on
how they looked and condition; to be doing wound care if necessary and per wound physician orders. The
DON stated the expectation would be that someone else observe the wound as a second opinion within 24
hours and the Unit Manager would have been aware of the toes after admission. The DON reported if a
resident had a skin condition, staff would let the attending physician know and it would be up to their
discretion if the wound care specialist would be consulted. The DON stated at the time of Resident #461's
admission the Unit Manager or the DON was getting the Wound Care specialist notes and that orders
would be written in the electronic record or the Unit Manager would take a verbal order and put it in the
record. The DON reviewed Resident #461's record and confirmed there were no orders for wound care and
there was no description of the right knee and/or left hand trauma wounds at the time of admission or
elsewhere.
The Skin Evaluation policy, implemented 8/22/22, revealed, It is our policy to perform a full body skin
evaluation as part of our systematic approach to pressure injury prevention and management. This policy
includes the following procedural guidelines in performing the full body identified pressure injury. The
explanation documented the staff should begin head to toe, thoroughly examining the resident's skin for
condition, remove any special garments or devices if not contraindicated or ordered to remain in place,
remove any dressings and note findings, and note any skin conditions such as

Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure two oxygen administration
orders were clarified for one resident (#77) of two residents reviewed for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
An observation on 07/10/23 at 10:32 a.m., showed Resident #77 was being administered oxygen via a
nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute (lpm).
During an interview on 07/10/23 at 10:32 a.m., Resident #77 stated she was to be administered three liters
of oxygen continuously.
A review of Resident #77's admission Record showed a diagnosis of sleep apnea, unspecified. A review of
the July 2023 Medication Administration Record showed two physician orders for oxygen. The first
physician order, dated 05/26/23, documented, O2 [oxygen] at 2 lpm via nasal cannula continuous for sleep
apnea. The second physician order, dated 06/13/23, documented, O2 [oxygen] at 3 lpm via nasal cannula

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure continuous communication
with the dialysis center for one resident (#31) out of two residents reviewed for dialysis services.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
During an interview on 07/10/23 at 10:09 a.m., Resident #31 stated he received dialysis services three
days a week.
A review of Resident #31's admission Record showed an admission date of 12/1/22 and diagnoses to
include chronic kidney disease without heart failure, with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, or end stage
renal disease.
A review of the July 2023 physician orders showed a physician order, dated 12/04/22, showed, Dialysis:
May go to Dialysis on: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. A second physician order, dated 12/04/22, showed,
Complete Dialysis communication form and send with Resident to dialysis center. A third physician order,
dated 12/04/22, showed, Complete post communication dialysis form on return.
A review of the care plan showed Resident #31 had a care plan focus, initiated on 12/5/22 and revised on
12/15/22, of Dialysis Care Plan: Renal failure with dialysis and interventions included: Review Dialysis
communication forms.
There was one Dialysis Communication Form found scanned in Resident #31's electronic medical record
and dated 06/26/23.
An observation on 07/11/23 at 5:35 p.m., revealed no dialysis communication book was available for
Resident #31.
During an interview on 07/11/23 at 5:40 p.m., Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated Resident #31
had a dialysis communication book but could not find it. Staff B, LPN found Resident #31's dialysis
communication book and stated, Resident #31 had it in his room. Staff B, LPN stated, To be honest the
dialysis communication book is rarely used. Staff B, LPN stated she usually just obtains Resident #31's vital
and status information on post dialysis from the transportation people. Staff B, LPN stated, the last
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) trained me and said nurses didn't have to use the dialysis
communication book any longer, as nurses just needed to document everything in the computer.
A review of Resident #31's dialysis communication book, on 07/11/23 at 5:45 p.m., showed three
pre-communication forms for the dates of 07/05/23, 07/07/23 and 07/10/23. There were no dialysis
communication forms present in Resident #31's dialysis communication book. (Photographic Evidence
Obtained)
Review of Post Dialysis communication forms showed no communication between the dialysis center and
the facility. The Post Dialysis Communication forms are assessments completed by the nurse at the facility

The policy - Medication Administration, implemented on 3/24/23, identified that Medications are
administered by licensed nurses, or to her staff who are legally authorized to do so in this state, as ordered
by the physician and in accordance with professional standards of practice, in a manner to prevent
contamination or infection. The explanation and guidelines instructed staff to Obtain and record vital signs,
when applicable or per physician orders. When applicable, hold medication for those vital signs outside the
physician's prescribed parameters.
Based on record review and interviews the facility failed to ensure staff administered medication with
adequate indication for use and monitored the administration and effectiveness of this medication for one
resident (#21) out of 28 sampled residents; and administered antihypertensive medication outside physician
ordered parameters twelve out of thirteen administrations reviewed for one (#45) out of five residents
observed during the task of medication administration.
Findings included:
1. A review of Resident #21's admission Record showed diagnoses of insomnia unspecified, anxiety
disorder, unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbance and disorganized schizophrenia. A review of
medical record revealed a nursing progress note, dated 06/05/23, and showed, resident was very upset all
evening, claiming devil was in my belly resident wouldn't take melatonin for sleep, (gave her pudding with
melatonin in it to calm her). A review of Resident #21's June 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR)

The NHA, RCNC and DON were not aware of the progress note and stated they would be looking into this
information more.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 11:23 a.m., Resident #21's Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) stated
she was not aware of Resident #21 having any insomnia issues lately. The PNP stated Resident #21 does
have intermittent hallucinations. The PNP stated she assessed Resident #21 once a month and as needed.
The PNP stated she expected facility staff to notify the PNP when Resident #21 had hallucinations. The
PNP stated that Melatonin should only be given when prescribed by a physician and it was not in the
normal scope of practice to administer Melatonin to calm a resident down.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 11:45 a.m., Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated Resident #21
was on her regular caseload. Staff B, LPN stated lately Resident #21 had been very irate and thrashing her
legs around. Staff B, LPN stated Resident #21 was going downhill because Resident #21 used to be very
easy to get along with, however, lately Resident #21 had been talking a lot to herself and agitated. Staff B,
LPN stated she had been administering Melatonin to Resident #21 intermittently for a couple months and
stated yes, she texted the doctor, to ask if she could administer Melatonin to Resident #21. Staff B, LPN
stated the doctor texted back on 04/25/23 that Staff B, LPN could administer Resident #21 Melatonin 5 mg
(milligrams) once a day at bedtime (qhs). Staff B, LPN shared the text message on her personal cell phone
with the survey team where it was confirmed Resident #21's doctor (phone number verified) texted an order
showing, Yes, give Melatonin 5 mg qhs. Staff B, LPN stated the next step would have been to administer
Resident #21 the Melatonin. Staff B, LPN was asked if she transcribed the physician order into Resident
#21's medical record and she responded, If it's not there, I didn't do it. Staff B, LPN was unable to describe
the process of entering a physician order into a medical record when asked. Staff B, LPN stated when she
provided any resident with medication she always signed them off the Medication Administration Record
(MAR). Staff B, LPN reviewed the June 2023 MAR and could not find Melatonin on Resident #21's MAR.
Staff B, LPN stated, I only give it to her when I think she needs it. I don't wake her up to give her Melatonin.
Staff B, LPN stated she had administered Resident #21 Melatonin intermittently since getting permission
from the physician to do so on 04/25/23.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:10 p.m., Resident #21's Primary Care Physician (PCP) stated
Resident #21 had a few restless nights and remembered sending a text to Staff B, LPN on 04/25/23
instructing Staff B, LPN to give Resident #21 Melatonin 5 MG by mouth qhs. Resident 21's PCP stated that
it was his expectation the nurse would have transmitted the order to Resident #21's medical record and on
the Medical Administration Record (MAR). Resident #21's PCP stated the appropriate use for Melatonin
was not for calming down a resident with psychological or anxiety symptoms but to aide in sleeping when a
resident had insomnia.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:55 p.m., the RCNC and the DON stated nurses could receive
physician orders by phone calls to the doctor's cell phone or on-call service. The RCNC stated some
doctors do prefer texting but the facility had no agency phones so staff would have to use personal phones
to text with a doctor. The RCNC stated staff, when texting a doctor, should transcribe the physician order
into the medical record immediately. The DON stated Staff B, LPN did not transcribe the physician order to
Resident #21's medical record per facility policy so therefore the medication did not go onto the MAR to
administer. The RCNC stated all nurses are trained to not administer medications unless the medication
was signed off on the MAR, however Staff B, LPN did not follow the facility policy in this situation. The DON
confirmed the appropriate use of Melatonin should not be used to calm a resident down but used to assist
with restlessness and insomnia symptoms.

the tip of the finger, and pointed. The staff member responded Don't start with me in regard to the color of
the fingernails.
The facility Dress Code and Personal Hygiene policy indicated the following:
To maximize our residents' well-being, fingernails must be clean and clipped short, and chin-length or
longer hair must be secured away from the face in a clean looking fashion, if you provide direct care to
residents.
The Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located at
https://www.cdc.gov/handhygiene/download/hand_hygiene_core.pdf, indicated that fingernail length can
often harbor potential pathogens even with careful handwashing. Natural nail tips should be kept to 1/4 inch
in length. and gram-negative pathogens are more likely to be harbored with healthcare workers who wear
artificial nails and should not be worn when having direct contact with high-risk patients.
6) During an interview, on 07/10/23 at 12:25 p.m., Staff F, LPN stated the Enhanced Barrier Precaution
(EBP) signs are tricky. Staff F, LPN stated the EBP signs were originally placed to let staff know the resident
had a catheter, wounds, feeding tube, or on dialysis to give staff an idea there was something about the
resident to be careful with. LPN F stated the facility just put Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) outside
some doors with EBP signs while other doors with EBP signs still do not have PPE. Staff F, LPN stated,
Now what do I do. There is nothing clear about the designated EBP rooms now. There seemed to be no set
guidelines, so we don't know, should we don PPE or not?
During an interview, on 07/10/23 at 12:30 p.m., Staff A, LPN stated the EBP signs were used to identify a
resident with catheters, wounds, a feeding tube or was on dialysis. Staff A, LPN stated, The facility just went
around placing PPE bins outside of some of the EBP rooms so right now I am confused. It's just not clear
as to what EBP room PPE should be worn.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Use in
Nursing Homes to prevent spread of Multidrug Resistant Organisms (MDROs), dated 07/12/22, revealed
