F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few aware the resident had vision issues and she did not notice if the resident's hands were shaky. Staff A stated she did not receive full orientation. Staff A confirmed she had not received any training about not heating up resident drinks or foods. On 10/10/23 at 12.42 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, CNA. She stated she was assigned to Resident #1 the day she was burned. She stated she worked with the resident often. Staff B said, It was morning. I saw her between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., probably closer to 8 a.m. I received report from [Staff A] who was helping pass trays in my assigned area because I was late. When I went to see [Resident #1], she said she had spilled coffee on herself. I observed coffee stains and wetness on her gown. This was in her mid-chest area. She said it was burning and it hurt. I went and got the nurse immediately. The nurse [Staff C, LPN] came and saw her. I then got linens and cleaned her up. Staff B said, She is dark, but you could see she had been burned between her breasts. I observed some blisters. She was talking. She was like, 'sit me up.' The rest of the day she slept a lot. She watched a TV show. I took care of her. Her behavior was normal, but her skin had blisters on her chest. Staff B said the resident said to her, 'Girl, you see what she did to me, she gave me blisters with that hot coffee.' Staff B stated the facility gave them education not to reheat anything after the incident occurred. She stated reheating food/drinks was the kitchen's job. She stated CNAs did not test temperatures. On 10/10/23 at 2:33 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff C, LPN, assigned to Resident #1 the day she suffered coffee burns. Staff C stated she was notified by a CNA (Staff B) at approximately 8:00 a.m. that Resident #1 had spilled coffee on herself. She said Staff B had reported the resident burned herself. Staff C said, I went to look at it [the burn wound], it was red and then it bubbled up later . It was in the middle of her chest area and scattered to her lower chest areas. I asked her if she had pain. She said 'Yes.' The ARNP, who was already in the building, came to see her. I was not aware the coffee was warmed up. The ARNP reported her skin had bubbled up. She saw her within 20 minutes of being notified. The ARNP ordered Silvadene. I got some out of the cart and applied it on her chest. The MD/PCP came maybe another 20 minutes later. He said to continue Silvadene and apply clean dry gauze. I gave the resident Tylenol and notified the Unit Manager [UM] and the resident's family member. Staff C stated she found out the CNA had heated the coffee. Staff C said, She should not have. Staff C stated there was no education prior to the incident at this facility. She stated the expectation was to take the drink to the kitchen or acquire fresh coffee. Staff C stated Resident #1 needed assistance with meals. She stated, She had the shakes, kind of like someone with Parkinson's or dementia tremors. Whenever I gave her meds and gave her water cup, I would hand it to her to her right hand and hold on to it, so she would not spill it. Staff C stated staff would set up the resident's tray and let her know where everything was. She was a total care. She was weak, and she had vision issues. A review of a Resident Information Record dated 10/10/23 showed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was discharged to [local hospital] on 09/26/23. The resident was admitted with diagnoses to include unspecified pulmonary hypertension, persistent atrial fibrillation, fluid overload, non-pressure chronic ulcer of right ankle, breakdown of skin, muscle weakness, dependence on supplemental oxygen, and acute kidney failure.

F 0600 for eating the resident required mod (moderate) assistance of one staff member. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety A review of a document titled Visual/Bedside Kardex Report, initiated on 09/13/23, showed Resident #1 required moderate assistance by one staff to eat. Residents Affected - Few On 10/10/23 at 1.24 p.m., a telephone interview was conducted with Resident #1's family member. She stated they had not received an official report from the facility on what happened to the resident on the day she was burned with coffee. The family member said, I don't know the details. She was weak, she went there for rehab and was given hot coffee, that in itself is poor judgement. I have been wondering how and why it happened. They called me four hours after the incident happened. [Resident #1] could not call me. Another family member went into the facility and saw her visually. She was in pain. She had blisters on her chest, and she was not able to talk on the phone. As a family, we have been frustrated. It was unacceptable how everything was handled. You do not treat a person her age that way. They gave her hot coffee that scalded her chest area. The family member confirmed Resident #1 suffered significant burns which caused her pain and complicated her recovery. A review of a social services progress note dated 09/18/23, showed SSD (Social Services Director) was notified that resident received a burn after spilling coffee on herself that was warmed by a staff member. Investigation initiated. SSD met with resident who was in her bed.

The MD/PCP said. She was bed-bound and was in the hospital prior to admission to the facility. She was alert and oriented. She had debilitating chronic medical problems. She was always in bed. Her lower extremities were weak. She was burned with hot coffee and suffered second degree burns in her mid-chest area. The coffee had hit her chest, and some ran into her breasts area. It was not a large spill; it left a small line running to her left breast which remained closed. The coffee rolled approximately 8 inches from the mid-chest area. She suffered mild discomfort. She was apologizing, saying she made a mistake. The MD/PCP stated the problem was the staff person who put the coffee in the microwave. He stated no one should have reheated the coffee. The MD/PCP confirmed Resident #1 was treated due to multiple blisters. He said, There was no significant skin loss. Just blistered partial skin burn, to a second-degree burn. The burn was 1% of her body. The resident will definitely have some discoloration and hyper pigmentation. The bottom line is, they should not have reheated the coffee. The MD/PCP stated they had not discussed that incident since the day it happened. A review of a physician progress note, signed by Resident #1's PCP (also the Medical Director), dated 09/19/23 at 10:04 a.m. showed, Patient is an [AGE] year-old female seen today in [name of facility] SNF [Skilled Nursing Facility] for evaluation, treatment and management chest wall burn and other related chronic conditions.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few nurse conducted a pain assessment. She stated the resident was burned because [Staff A] heated up the coffee and served it to the resident. The former ADON said, I know she was on OT [Occupational Therapy] to help with tremors, weakness, and being able to feed herself. She did not require assistance for meals, the only thing needed was for set up. She confirmed prior to the incident she had not instructed staff not to reheat foods/drinks for residents. She stated after the incident staff were instructed to go to the kitchen if food/drinks needed to be reheated. The former ADON confirmed that not reheating food had not been part of any orientation or training prior to the incident with [Resident #1]. Review of progress note, communication with family dated 09/25/23, revealed, .Resident [#1] has tremors and was unable to feed herself. Resident baseline continues to be assist for meals and family member was informed by therapy director resident continues on case load for occupational therapy and the therapist is working with resident on self-feeing due to left side weakness.

Staff D stated she did not raise alarm related to Resident #1 requesting to have a coffee reheated. She stated she did not think much of it and did not mention it until after the burn incident. A review of a document titled, Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment, dated 09/14/23, showed under cognition and communication assessment Resident #1 was impaired and lacked safety awareness. The assessment summary showed, Patient presents with impairments in balance, strength and mobility resulting in limitations and/or participation restrictions in the areas of self-care which requires skilled OT services . to facilitate independence with ADLs, facilitate sitting tolerance and postural control and increase functional activity tolerance in order to perform UB ADLs [Upper Body Activities of Daily Living] with increased independence and safety . Due to the documented physical impairments associated functional deficits, without skilled therapeutic intervention, the patient is at risk for falls and further decline in function. A review of a document titled Speech Therapy (SLP) Evaluation and Plan of Treatment, dated 09/14/23, showed Resident #1 received a bedside assessment of swallowing. Evaluation of position during eval revealed posture impacts function and is modifiable with intervention. Under supervision, the evaluation showed the patient [Resident #1] required supervision/assistance during mealtime due to swallowing/safety 50-75% of the time. The review showed identified barriers included identification of support systems were required for safe transition and multiple medication management. Patient characteristics that may impact treatment included, lacks insight into condition and risk factors, multiple conditions/history, multiple medications, and reduced numeracy skills for self-monitoring. A review of a progress note dated 09/21/23 showed, [Resident #1] ate 25% of breakfast, she did not want pancakes or sausage, only oatmeal with brown sugar.

She stated when coffee was brewed in the kitchen, the temperature would normally be 205 degrees Fahrenheit. She said, We brew the coffee before we start tray line and put it in the carafes [a small thermos]. It should be served at 150-160 degrees. The CDM stated they do not retest the coffee prior to service. The CDM stated this facility did not have policies and procedures related to hot liquids. She said, I learned the temperature parameters in a different building. The CDM confirmed she had not initiated temperature monitoring for hot liquids. She stated her expectation would be to take the temperatures before the coffee is taken out to the residents. It should be checked before you put it on the cart. The CDM stated she did not have records or temperature logs. She stated she did not have temperature parameters posted for staff to reference. She said, I don't have anything posted for the staff. I ran across an old log dated 2022. I will re-implement the temperature log. The CDM stated she had just looked up on the internet what the temperature range should be; she said, I just googled it. The temperature should be between 150 and 155 degrees. We will start monitoring effective today. On 10/10/23 at 9:48 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff E, Cook.

Dietary did not have anything to do with it. Staff E confirmed the facility did not implement processes to prevent coffee burns following Resident #1's incident. She stated they were not checking coffee temperatures. On 10/10/23 at 9:54 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff F, Dietary Aide. She stated the aides brewed the coffee. It was their assignment. She stated they used a coffee urn which had a water line already set. She stated the brewing temperature was preset. She stated they poured the coffee grounds and hit Start. She said, When the coffee is done brewing, it gets into a heating stage which takes about 3 minutes. The coffee then reaches a final temperature of 205 degrees F. We wait until the trays are ready to get the coffee out to the floor or to the dining room, which takes about 30 minutes. We then put it in the carafe. It is supposed to hold coffee hot for about 6 hours. She stated she could not speak of the incident when the resident was burned. She stated she heard a CNA reheated the coffee in a microwave and that was how the resident sustained burns. She stated nursing staff had microwaves in the nutrition rooms. At that time, Staff F brewed coffee and tested it. At the end of the brewing, the coffee in the urn tested 205 degrees F.

The family member stated she did not know the temperature of the coffee and if it was safe to serve. The family member said, It's hot, you just got to sip it. On 10/10/23 at 3:01 p.m., an interview was conducted with the facility's interim DON and the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). The Interim DON stated she was in the building and heard a resident had gotten burned. She said, I went down to the unit. It was in the afternoon, probably early afternoon. The MD/PCP was in the building. I asked him to look at the burn and address. I asked the wound doctor to look at it. They both ensured treatment was in place. Interim DON stated she observed areas in Resident #1's mid-chest with fluid filled blisters. The interim DON stated the resident said to her, 'I need Silvadene' [and] I told the nurse.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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, interviews, record review, physician interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure one Resident (#1), out of 17 residents who required one-person assistance with self-feeding, were free from hazards during meal service. The facility's failure to ensure this resident's safety during meal service, and failure to monitor hot beverages to prevent burns, and failure to educate staff on safe food re-heating practices, and failure to ensure vulnerable residents were assessed and supervised during meals, resulted in injury to Resident #1. On 09/18/23 Resident #1, who required one-person physical assistance and supervision for eating, was served hot coffee that had been reheated in a microwave and not tested for safe serving temperature. The facility failed to ensure the resident who had a known visual impairment and was known to have tremors and would shake while drinking, received supervision to prevent the hot coffee from spilling. Resident #1 suffered painful blisters and second degree burns to her chest area, causing pain and permanent body disfigurement related to scarring and discoloration of the skin. The facility's failure to monitor coffee temperatures and failure to provide supervision and assistance to a vulnerable resident with physical limitations, and the likelihood of similar harm to other residents, resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 9/18/2023 The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 10/11/23 and the severity and scope was reduced to a D after verification of removal of Immediate Jeopardy. Findings included: A review of a Resident Information Record dated 10/10/23 showed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was discharged on 09/26/23. The resident was admitted with diagnoses to include unspecified pulmonary hypertension, persistent atrial fibrillation, fluid overload, non-pressure chronic ulcer of right ankle, breakdown of skin, muscle weakness, dependence on supplemental oxygen, and acute kidney failure. A review of a 5-day MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 09/16/23, section G showed Resident #1 required supervision and one-person physical assist during eating. A review of a care plan dated 09/14/23, showed an ADL (Activities of Daily Living) focus showing Resident #1 had a self-care deficit related to muscle weakness. An intervention among others showed for eating the resident required mod (moderate) assistance of one staff member. A review of a document titled Visual/Bedside Kardex Report, initiated on 09/13/23, showed Resident #1 required mod assistance by one staff to eat. On 10/10/23 at 1.24 p.m., a telephone interview was conducted with Resident #1's family member. She stated they had not received an official report from the facility on what happened to the resident on the day she was burned with coffee. The family member said, I don't know the details. She was weak, she went there for rehab and was given hot coffee, that in itself is poor judgement. I have been wondering how and why it happened. They called me four hours after the incident happened. [Resident #1] could not call me. Another family member went into the facility and saw her visually. She was in pain.

You do not treat a person her age that way. They gave her hot coffee that scalded her chest area. The family member confirmed Resident #1 suffered significant burns which caused her pain and complicated her recovery. A review of a social services progress note dated 09/18/23, showed SSD (Social Services Director) was notified that resident received a burn after spilling coffee on herself that was warmed by a staff member. Investigation initiated. SSD met with resident who was in her bed. She noted that the coffee was sitting on the left side of her bedside table, and she reached over with her right hand when she dropped the cup across her. She indicated that the liquid burned her, but she knew the cup was hot when she picked it up. She noted that she turned on the light and was addressed immediately by staff. When asked if she had any prior incidents of dropping items, she stated 'no'. Resident presented anxious and fidgety, but she expresses that she has pain on both the burn area and a headache.

She was apologizing, saying she made a mistake. The MD/PCP stated the problem was the staff person who put the coffee in the microwave. He stated no one should have reheated the coffee. The MD/PCP confirmed Resident #1 was treated due to multiple blisters. He said, There was no significant skin loss. Just blistered partial skin burn, to a second-degree burn. The burn was 1% of her body. The resident will definitely have some discoloration and hyper pigmentation. The bottom line is, they should not have reheated the coffee. The MD/PCP stated they had not discussed that incident since the day it happened. An interview was conducted on 10/11/23 at 9:32 a.m., with the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP). She stated she saw the resident first. She said, I went in to see the patient that morning and she informed me she burned herself with the coffee. She said she spilled it on herself. She was on the list to be seen that day. The ARNP said staff did not come to find her or notify her when she got burned. She stated the resident was the one who told her she got burned when she entered her room. The ARNP stated Resident #1's chest area was red and looked like it was just starting to blister. She stated the resident said it was sensitive to touch. The ARNP ordered Silvadene. She stated she had not noticed any shakiness when she would see the resident, but she had weakness. She stated she could not recall what time she saw the resident and she doesn't know what time the incident had happened. A review of a physician progress note, signed by Resident #1's PCP, dated 09/19/23 at 10:04 a.m. showed, Patient is an [AGE] year-old female seen today in [name of facility] SNF [Skilled Nursing Facility] for evaluation, treatment and management chest wall burn and other related chronic conditions. Patient reports wasting coffee on her chest this morning and reports soreness to chest. No open areas noted at this time. Patient states it was a mistake that she spilled it as she was trying to take a sip . patient reports mild pain to superficial chest burn. The assessment revealed the resident was seen for superficial partial thickness burn of chest wall disorder. Burn of second degree of chest wall, initial encounter. A review of Hospital records including wound photographs showed Resident #1 was admitted to (name of hospital) on 09/25/23 with a diagnosis of Altered Mental Status. Hospital records showed the resident was discharged on 10/08/23. During her stay, Resident #1 was seen for burn wounds. On 10/04/23 a physical exam was conducted. The wound care report showed, abnormal skin type; burn, Color pink, surrounding tissue appearance dry/flaky, Fibrotic/Scarred, wound details showed, partial thickness skin loss surrounded by epithelialized hypopigmentation. Tissue appearance detail: wound bed with partial thickness, margin-distinct, outline attached. The treatment plan included: to wash with cleansing wipes, pat dry, apply thin layer of triad paste, cover with foam dressing daily and PRN (as needed). A wound care report dated 10/5/23 showed the bedside RN (Registered Nurse), requested to evaluate burn to chest. Per patient, she spilled coffee on herself several weeks ago. Area is mostly epithelialized, there is an area of small partial thickness skin loss. Review of an undated American Burn Association Educators Guide Journal titled, Scald Injury Educators, retrieved on 10/11/23, showed, Older adults, like young children, have thinner skin so hot liquids cause deeper burns with even brief exposure. Their ability to feel heat may be decreased due to certain medical conditions or medications so they may not realize water is too hot until injury has occurred. Because they have poor microcirculation, heat is removed from burned tissue rather slowly compared to younger adults.

She said she delivered the resident her tray between 7:30 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. She stated she set the tray down and asked the resident if she needed help with set up and the resident said she was good. Staff A stated she was new to this job and had only worked 3 weeks. She stated she did not know the resident well. Staff A said, The resident said she wanted coffee. I went to get it. I gave her the coffee and she said, 'it was ice cold.' Staff A said when she was pouring the coffee she couldn't tell if it was warm or lukewarm. Staff A said she took the coffee to the microwave and heated it up for all of 30 seconds. She said by the time she got back to the resident's room the resident had spilled her milk in her tray. She said the resident told her she knocked it over. She said she got napkins and tried to clean up some of the spilled milk. Then she gave the resident her coffee and the resident said, Thank you. Staff A said, Then I left the room and went back to my hall. At 1:00 p.m. the CNA assigned to the resident [Staff B] came and told me the resident spilled her coffee and had suffered a burn. Staff A stated the supervisor came and told her what happened and asked for a statement. She said after the statement she went back to the hall and was called to HR [Human Resources] and had been on suspension ever since. Staff A stated she did not have the resident's Kardex [a documentation system that gives a brief overview of patient's care]. Staff A stated when she arrived on shift, she did not receive a report on her resident's status. She stated the expectation was for the CNAs to look up residents on the computer. She stated she did not know anything about this resident because Resident #1 was new. She stated she had not reviewed this resident's care plan and did not know the level of assistance she required. Staff A stated she was not aware the resident had vision issues and she did not notice if the resident's hands were shaky. Staff A stated she did not receive full orientation.

It was in the middle of her chest area and scattered to her lower chest areas. I asked her if she had pain. She said 'Yes.' The ARNP, who was already in the building, came to see her. I was not aware the coffee was warmed up. The ARNP reported her skin had bubbled up. She saw her within 20 minutes of being notified. The ARNP ordered Silvadene. I got some out of the cart and applied it on her chest. The MD/PCP came maybe another 20 minutes later. He said to continue Silvadene and apply clean dry gauze. I gave the resident Tylenol and notified the Unit Manager [UM] and the resident's family member. Staff C stated she found out the CNA had heated the coffee. Staff C said, She should not have. Staff C stated there was no education prior to the incident at this facility. She stated the expectation was to take the drink to the kitchen or acquire fresh coffee. Staff C stated Resident #1 needed assistance with meals. She stated, She had the shakes, kind of like someone with Parkinson's or dementia tremors. Whenever I gave her meds and gave her water cup, I would hand it to her to her right hand and hold on to it, so she would not spill it.

She stated breakfast was typically between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. She thought the burn occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. She stated the nurse conducted a pain assessment. She stated the resident was burned because [Staff A] heated up the coffee and served it to the resident. The former ADON said, I know she was on OT [Occupational Therapy] to help with tremors, weakness, and being able to feed herself. She did not require assistance for meals, the only thing needed was for set up. She confirmed prior to the incident she had not instructed staff not to reheat foods/drinks for residents. She stated after the incident staff were instructed to go to the kitchen if food/drinks needed to be reheated. The former ADON confirmed that not reheating food had not been part of any orientation or training prior to the incident with [Resident #1]. Review of progress note, communication with family dated 09/25/23, revealed, .Resident [#1] has tremors and was unable to feed herself.

On 10/10/23 at 12:27 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Certified Registered Dietician (CDM). She stated when coffee was brewed in the kitchen, the temperature would normally be 205 degrees Fahrenheit. She said, We brew the coffee before we start tray line and put it in the carafes [a small thermos]. It should be served at 150-160 degrees. The CDM stated they do not retest the coffee prior to service. The CDM stated this facility did not have policies and procedures related to hot liquids. She said, I learned the temperature parameters in a different building. The CDM confirmed she had not initiated temperature monitoring for hot liquids. She stated her expectation would be to take the temperatures before the coffee is taken out to the residents. It should be checked before you put it on the cart. The CDM stated she did not have records or temperature logs. She stated she did not have temperature parameters posted for staff to reference. She said, I don't have anything posted for the staff. I ran across an old log dated 2022. I will re-implement the temperature log. The CDM stated she had just looked up on the internet what the temperature range should be; she said, I just googled it. The temperature should be between 150 and 155 degrees. We will start monitoring effective today. On 10/10/23 at 9:48 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff E, Cook. She stated she monitored food temperatures during tray line but not coffee temperatures. She stated the dietary aides were responsible for brewing and serving coffee. Staff E showed the dietary food logs. The logs did not include coffee temperature monitoring. Staff E stated she heard a resident was burned with hot coffee because a CNA reheated coffee in the microwave. She said, It was reheated on the floor. Not in the dining room or kitchen. Dietary did not have anything to do with it. Staff E confirmed the facility did not implement processes to prevent coffee burns following Resident #1's incident. She stated they were not checking coffee temperatures. On 10/10/23 at 9:54 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff F, Dietary Aide. She stated the aides brewed the coffee.
