During the observation of the medication
administration on 10/9/17, at 4:12 PM,
Registered Nurse (RN) 2 was observed in the
hallway preparing multiple medications for
Resident 20. After comparing Resident 20's
medication with the electronic medical record
on the lap-top attached to the medication cart,
RN 2 proceeded to lock the medication cart,
gathered all prepared medications, and walked
to Resident 20's room. RN 2 did not log off on
the lap-top and/or did not close the lap-top.
The lap-top remained open and left unattended
with Resident 20's confidential personal health
information visible to several staff, residents,
and family members observed walking past the
medication cart.
During an interview with the Director of Staff
Development, on 10/10/17, at 3:50 PM, she
stated "The nurses' are supposed to either
close the lap-top when not in use and away
from the cart or use the option to minimize and
close the screen."
The facility policy and procedure titled
"Electronic Medical Records" dated 2014,
indicated "The facility will make reasonable
efforts to limit the use of disclosure of protected
health information to only the minimum
necessary to accomplish the intended purpose
of the use or disclosure...Our electronic
medical records system has safeguards to
prevent unauthorized access of electronic
protected health information (e-PHI). These
safeguards include administrative, technical
and physical safeguards..."

(a)(1) A facility must treat and care for each
resident in a manner and in an environment
that promotes maintenance or enhancement of
his or her quality of life recognizing each
resident’s individuality. The facility must protect
and promote the rights of the resident.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation and interview, the facility
failed to ensure privacy for two Random
Residents (22 and 23) when broken and
missing slats in the window blinds were not
replaced. This resulted in violation of
Residents 22 and 23's right to privacy.
Findings:
During the initial tour of the facility with the
Director of Staff Development (DSD) , on
10/9/17, which started at approximately 9:40
AM, Resident 22 and 23's rooms, located in the
dementia unit, had multiple broken and missing
slats in the window blinds. Resident 22's room
had two broken slats and three missing slats.
Resident 23's room had six slats missing.
Through the missing slats, staff, residents, and
visitors are able to see inside Resident 22 and
23's room during care and/or hours of sleep.

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one Random
Resident (21) was evaluated and assessed for
the modification of a merry walker (walker/chair
combination to promote ambulation). This has
the potential to result in a physical restraint.
Findings:
During an observation on 10/10/17, at 12 PM,
in the C-wing Dementia Unit, Resident 21 was
observed walking in the hallway with a merry
walker. Two iron dumbbells were attached with
multiple zip ties and duct taped on both sides of
the lower portion of the merry walker in
between the front and back wheels.
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 21, the current Physicians Order
indicated "Mobility status: May use a merry
walker for locomotion with nursing supervision.
Order start date 10/24/11." No documented
evidence of any modification, evaluation and
assessment was found for the merry walker.
During an interview with Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) 7, on 10/10/17, at 12:11 PM,
she stated the merry walker was used to help
Resident 21 walk. CNA 7 stated the dumbbells
tied to the merry walker weighed a total of 20
pounds (10 pounds each side). CNA 7 stated,
"She was walking too fast, so they put [on] the
weights to slow her down."
During an interview with License Vocational
Nurse (LVN) 3, on 10/10/17, at 11:44 AM, she
stated the two 10 pound weights had been
added to the merry walker many years ago by
facility maintenance. LVN 3 stated, "It [merry
walker] was tipping over because she
[Resident 21] walks fast."

7 had received Keflex (medication used to treat
a wide variety of bacterial infections) beginning
8/8/17 and ending 8/18/17 for Urinary Tract
Infection (UTI).
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 7, the "Minimum Data Set (MDS-an

During an interview and concurrent record
review with the MDSC, on 10/12/17, at 11:43
AM, she confirmed Resident 8 had a fracture
and the MDS did not indicate Resident 8 had a
major injury. She also confirmed the facility
followed the RAI MDS manual for coding.
During an interview with the MDSC, on
10/12/17, at 12:22 PM, she stated the fracture
was not coded as a major injury because it was
determined the fracture was an old healing sub
acute fracture. She also stated minor injury
was coded due to the complaints of pain to the
elbow from Resident 8.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON), on 10/12/17, at 2:09 PM, she stated the
"fracture was not known prior to x-ray obtained"
and "considered it an old fracture." She also
stated Resident 8 did not have pain prior to the
fall and that is why minor injury was coded.
The CMS's RAI titled "Section J Health
Conditions" dated 4/12, indicated "Determine
the number of falls that occurred since
admission/entry or reentry or prior
assessment...and code the level of fall-related
injury for each. Code each fall only once. If
the resident has multiple injuries in a single fall,
code the fall for the highest level of injury." It
also indicated the definition of an injury related
to a fall is a "documented injury that occurred
as a result of, or was recognized within a short
period of time (e.g., hours to a few days) after
the fall and attributed to the fall."

Such failure resulted in Resident 15's hip
fracture to go unnoted for six days and
sustained severe pain for six days.
Findings:
During an observation on 10/09/17, at 10:20
AM, Resident 15 was in bed lying on her right
side facing the wall. At 12 PM, the resident
was in bed awake lying on her right side.
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 was at the
bedside attempting to feed Resident 15 her
lunch. Resident 15 refused lunch and pushed
CNA 2's hand away. CNA 2 stated Resident
15 had only eaten 50 percent of her breakfast,
"I don't know why she refuses her food now."
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 15, Minimum Data Set (MDS-an
assessment tool), dated 9/18/17, indicated
Resident 15 had a diagnosis of dementia
(disease that affects memory, thinking, and
social abilities severely enough to interfere with
daily functioning), was cognitively severely
impaired, never/rarely made decisions, and had
short-term and long-term memory problems.
The Nurses Notes, dated 10/6/17, at 6:49 PM,
was reviewed. It indicated Resident 15 had a
witnessed fall at 6:40 PM. Resident 15 had
"lost her balance while stepping backwards and
landed on her left side." Resident 15 sustained
a skin tear to her right hand and was placed on
a 72 hour monitoring (observing and checking
any change in medical/mental condition and
level of care) after the fall on 10/6/17. The
clinical records indicated Resident 15 had no
complaints of pain, but her behaviors of crying,
yelling out, and restlessness prompted the staff
to administer Ativan (anti-anxiety medication)
for three consecutive days (10/7/17, 10/8/17,
and 10/9/17). The clinical records also
indicated Resident 15 had no episodes of these

2. During a concurrent observation and
interview with Dietary Aide (DA) 2, on 10/12/17,
at 8:28 AM, in the facility kitchen, DA 2
confirmed she was assigned dishwashing
duties, and demonstrated how she would test
the chlorine level utilized in the dishwasher
(chlorine is a chemical used for sanitizing
dishware, in which a level of 50 to 100 parts
per million [PPM] should be indicated on a test
strip after coming out of the dishwasher). The
test strip color guide indicated the test strip was
only able to indicate a reading of 10, 50, 100,
and 200 PPM. DA 2 placed a test strip on the
dishes immediately out of the dishwasher. The
test strip indicated a reading of 100 PPM. DA 2
incorrectly read the test strip as 150 PPM. DA
2 could not state how she got a reading of 150
PPM when the only options given were 10, 50,
100, and 200 PPM.
During a concurrent observation and interview
with Cook 1, on 10/12/17, at 8:45 AM, in the
facility kitchen, Cook 1 confirmed she was
assigned to manually dish wash in a three
compartment sink (a sink with three
compartments. The first for washing, the
second for rinsing, and the third for sanitizing
with chlorine. To check sanitation level on a
three compartment sink, a test strip was used.
The test strip color guide indicated the test strip
was only able to indicate a reading five options
- zero, 150, 200, 400, and 500 PPM). Cook 1
demonstrated how she would check the
chlorine PPM in the three compartment sink
using a test strip. The test strip read 400 PPM.
Cook 1 stated the test strip read 220 PPM.
Cook 1 could not state how she got a reading
of 220 PPM when the only options given were
zero, 150, 200, 400, and 500.

at 10:30 AM, in Storage Shed 2, were three five gallon containers of 9% laundry bleach and
ten - one gallon bottles of bleach. The PS
confirmed the findings.
During a concurrent review of the "Storage
Instructions" printed on the five gallon bleach
container and interview with the PS, on
10/10/17, at 10:30 AM, the instructions
indicated,"Store in a cool, well ventilated place,
away from direct sunlight and heat sources."
The PS confirmed the findings and stated
during the summer the sheds would be well
over 100 degrees. He was unable to state
what would occur if the bleach became hot.
During a review of the Safety Data Sheet,
dated 2/25/14, the 9% Laundry Bleach begins
to boil, release chlorine gas (a corrosive vapor)
and decompose at 104°F (degrees Fahrenheit).
According to Clorox® "Regular-Bleach should
be stored between 50°F and 70°F, and away
from direct sunlight. This is recommended for
both unopened and opened bottles. When
properly stored, a bottle of bleach has a one
year shelf life. Beyond a year, it should be
replaced because the sodium hypochlorite
active begins to rapidly break down..."

During a review of the monthly infection control
reports from 10/20/16 through 9/21/17, the
reports indicated the number and type of
infections present on admission, the number
and type of infections acquired in the facility.
The report did not indicate any actions or plans
to reduce the number of infections acquired in
the facility.

"Controlling pests in a food processing facility is
essential in order to minimize the transmission
of food-borne illnesses caused by microbial
contamination. Effective pest control is based
on: Preventing entry (exclusion), removing
nesting/breeding sites (harborage), and
eliminating potential sources of food and water.
Pest control requires vigilance inside and
outside the plant. This includes: Maintaining
the building to prevent entry of pests.
Maintaining the grounds to ensure proper
sanitation and remove harborage for pests.
Following good manufacturing practices to
ensure proper in-plant sanitation."

During an observation on 10/10/17, at 8:44 AM,
in the C wing Utility Room, a crash cart was
noted. The supplies list found inside the crash
cart was compared with the actual supplies
present. Multiple items were missing including

procedures.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure easy access
of the emergency crash cart. This had the
potential for a delay in basic first aid or basic
life support when needed.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview
with the Activities Supervisor (AS), on 5/9/17,
at 5:54 PM, he stated the crash cart was kept
in the utility room on A Wing. The AS
attempted three times to unlock the utility room
door. When the AS opened the door, there
were two mechanical lifts (used to transfer a
resident, with limited mobility, from bed to chair
and back) blocking access to the crash cart.
The facility policy titled "First Aid Treatment"
dated 8/11, indicated "The goal of staff training
is to enable employees to provide basic life
support...Basic first aid intervention includes
(but is not limited to interventions for the
following situations: a. Choking, breathing
emergencies...e. Shock...g. Allergic reactions
and anaphylaxis...The goal of emergency
interventions is to stabilize the resident and the
situation until further treatment is available."
