Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were stored and labeled correctly. This failure has the potential to affect all 28 residents (R3, R10, R14-17, R26, R27, R29, R31, R33, R35, R36, R38-R40, R44, R46-R49, R52, R53, R57, R59, R65, R68 and R121) currently residing in the facility Safe Unit.

Once any medication or biological package is opened, facility should follow manufacturer/supplier guidelines will respect to expiration dates for opened medications. Facility should record the date opened on the medication container when the medication has a shortened expiration date once opened. Facility should ensure that medications are stored at their appropriate temperatures according to the United States Pharmacopoeia guidelines for temperature ranges. Refrigeration: 36- 46 degrees. On 6/10/24 at 9:29 A.M., V15/Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) opened the locked door to the (facility) Back Hall Medication Room. A refrigerator with no temperature log present contained a thermometer in an open freezer section, that was iced to the shelf. V15/LPN, wiggling the thermometer back and forth, was able to loosen and read the thermometer. At that time V15/LPN verified she did not check the temperature of the refrigerator today and had never been instructed to check and record the temperature. On a shelf a 5 ML (Milliliter) bottle of undated Tuberculin, Purified was opened with 1/2 of the contents missing. At that time, V15/LPN verified the undated bottle. A review of the facility Back Hall Medication Refrigerator for January, February, March, April, May and June 2024 documents missing refrigerator temperatures. On 6/13/24 at 9:41 A.M., V2/Director of Nurses verified the temperature of the medication storage refrigerator was to be checked once daily by the night shift nurse. At that time, V2/DON also verified the opened, undated Tuberculin solution and the missing temperatures for January, February, March, April, May, and June 2024. A facility Room Roster dated 6/10/24 and provided by V1/Administrator documents 28 residents currently reside on the facility Safe Unit.

Facility failures resulted in two deficient practices.
Residents Affected - Many
A.) Based on record review and interviews the facility failed to follow their policy on Water Management Program for Prevention of Legionella Growth, and perform preventative maintenance to stop the growth and spread of Legionella. This has the potential to affect all 66 residents that reside at the facility. B.) Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to place signage in a location to clearly identify the category of transmission-based precautions, instructions for PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), to instruct visitors to see the nurse prior to entering the resident's room for one resident (R64) that required transmission-based precautions in a sample of 49 residents and failed to ensure Personal Protective Equipment was donned per policy, and non-contaminated supplies were safe for wound care for one residents (R32) observed for wound care in a sample of 49 residents.
Findings include: A) The facility policy, Water Management Program for Prevention of Legionella Growth, revised (5/17/2024) documents the following: Purpose: To identify and reduce the risk of Legionella growth and spread. Preventative maintenance will be performed as applicable: The following will be verified and documented at least once weekly: 1.) The domestic hot water boiler storage tanks verified to be set between 140-160 degrees Fahrenheit. 2.) Thermostat indicating the temperature of water entering the circulating system at the mixing valve is at 120 Fahrenheit or above. 3.) Eye wash stations will be inspected and flushed weekly. 4.) Ice machines will be inspected and cleaned internally at least every 3 -6 months and as needed for leakages or contamination. 5.) Cooling tower (if applicable) will be inspected at least weekly to ensure proper functioning and chemical distribution. 6.) Weekly sanitizing of medical devices such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). The facility was unable to provide a flow diagram of the buildings water system. On 6/12/2024 at 8:45AM V10 (Maintenance Director) stated, I do not have any other information to show that I have been doing any of the preventative maintenance protocols, according to the policy. I just started the eye wash weekly inspection on 5/29/2024. I have not done any temperatures for the water boiler or temperatures of the water entering the circulating system at the mixing valve. The ice machine should be inspected and cleaned every 3-6 months, but that has not been done. I am pretty sure that the weekly sanitizing of medical devices has not been done either. The Long-Term Care Facility Application for Medicare and Medicaid form, dated 6/10/24, documents that 66 residents reside in the facility. B.) 1. R64's Physician Order Sheet, dated 6/1/24 through 6/30/24, documents Foley catheter 16 French with 10CC (centimeter) to drainage and gravity for a diagnosis of urine retention. And Enhanced Barrier Precautions- for an indwelling foley catheter every day and night shift.
