V14 RRT obtained R46's O2 sat, Pulse, Respirations and Blood Pressure at dining room table in front of table mates. V14 stated to R46 Lean forward so I can listen to your lungs. V14 removed V14's stethoscope from around V14's neck and placed it on the front and back of R46's lung fields while R46 was sitting at dining room table. V14 instructed R46 to take a deep breath and cough three times. R46 produced three separate deep coughs without covering her mouth while sitting at dining room table with table mates. On 3/6/24 at 12:20 PM V14 Registered Respiratory Therapy (RRT) stated I was scheduled to see (R46) today. If I don't see (R46) when I can then I will have to leave without seeing her. (R46) is being weaned off of her Oxygen. I should have asked (R46) to cover her mouth too. (R46) just coughed so hard over those other residents. Next time I will be sure to complete the respiratory assessments in the residents' room and be sure to tell them to cover their mouths when they cough. On 3/6/24 at 1:15 PM R46 stated I really didn't care for that nurse (V14) Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) interrupting my lunch. We had tacos today and mine got cold while waiting for (V14) to get done. I don't see why (V14) couldn't have just done that in my room. On 3/6/24 at 12:50 PM V2 Director of Nurses (DON) stated V14 Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) should have completed (R46's) respiratory assessment in a private area.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to prevent cross contamination of pressure ulcers during pressure ulcer wound care and failed to complete wound treatments for two (R45, R266) residents out of four residents reviewed for Pressure Ulcers in a sample list of 33 residents. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1.) R45's undated Face Sheet documents R45 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. This same Face Sheet documents R45's medical diagnoses of Right Hip Pressure Ulcer Stage IV, Morbid Obesity, Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia, Sepsis, Diabetes Mellitus Type II, Cognitive Communication Deficit, and Embolism and Thrombosis of Deep Veins of Right Lower Extremity. R45's Physician Order Sheet (POS) dated March 2024 documents a physician order to cleanse Right Lateral Hip wound with gauze and 1/4 strength bleach solution, apply Gentamicin Sulfate 0.1% topical ointment to periwound and in wound tunnel. Soak roll gauze in 1/4 strength bleach solution and pack into wound after Gentamicin placed into wound. DO NOT USE GAUZE-IT MUST BE CONTINUOUS ROLL GAUZE. Once hole is packed, cut roll gauze leaving tail on the outside to cover the peri wound. Apply two absorbent pads and retention tape to secure. change twice daily and every two hours as needed for wound management. R45's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R45 as cognitively intact. This same MDS documents R45 requires maximum assistance for bed mobility and is dependent on staff for assistance with bathing and dressing. R45's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated March 2024 documents R45's Right Hip Stage IV Pressure Ulcer dressing change was not completed as ordered by the Physician on 3/1/24 night shift and 3/5/24 night shift. On 3/6/24 at 3:00 PM V12 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) completed wound care for R45's Stage IV Right Hip Pressure Ulcer. As R45 turned to his Left side, the fitted sheet underneath where R45's dressing was touching was smeared in multiple areas with a brown substance, food particles and unknown debris. V12 LPN removed the undated bandage from R45's Right Hip. The bandage was overly saturated with brown, foul smelling drainage that was dripping from the bandage onto R45's open wound, Right Hip area and flat sheet. R45's Right Hip Stage IV Pressure Ulcer was a half dollar sized hole with reddened edges. V12 LPN inserted a long cotton tipped applicator into R45's Right Hip wound to approximately half the length of the cotton tipped applicator. V12 stated Wow. This wound is really tunneled at the 5-6 o'clock area. I can stick half this stick in there. R45 moved the contaminated sheet back over R45's Stage IV Pressure Ulcer after V12 LPN had cleansed the wound causing the contaminated sheet to directly touch the open area of the wound. V12 LPN did not re-cleanse R45's open wound after the contaminated sheet touched it. V12 LPN used her contaminated Right hand to push R45's flat sheet off of the open wound and did not perform hand hygiene after moving contaminated sheet before continuing wound care. On 3/6/24 at 3:40 PM V12 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated R45's Stage IV Pressure Ulcer to Right Hip should not be laying on soiled sheets. V12 LPN stated R45's wound had a copious amount of drainage. V12 LPN stated I can't be sure when (R45's) Right Hip Pressure Ulcer dressing was changed because there was no date, time or initials on the old bandage. (R45's) bed is a mess.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm substance was probably the chocolate ice cream (R45) had for lunch and I am not sure what the rest of that debris was. V12 LPN stated V12 cross contaminated R45's Pressure Ulcer by not cleansing his wound again after R45 put the sheet directly on it and by not performing hand hygiene after V12 used her Right hand to move the sheets. V12 LPN stated Cross contaminating an open wound could cause bacteria to get into wound and cause an infection or make an infection worse. Residents Affected - Few On 3/6/24 at 4:00 PM R45 stated They (facility) change my dressing to my Right Hip sometimes. They have missed a few times too. They did not change it last night. I don't know why. 2.) R266's undated Face Sheet documents R266 admitted to facility on 3/1/24. R266's undated medical diagnosis list documents R266's medical diagnoses of Local Infection of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue, Cellulitis Unspecified, Diabetes Mellitus Type II, Chronic Venous Hypertension with Ulcer and Inflammation of Bilateral Lower Extremities, Atrial Fibrillation, Chronic Congestive Heart Failure, Acute Kidney Failure, Peripheral Venous Insufficiency and Hypertension. R266's Physician Order Sheet (POS) dated March 2024 documents a physician order to cleanse Left Leg (Knees to Toes) with (antiseptic soap) 4.0 % and gauze, then allow to dry. Paint with (povidone-iodine), cover with abdominal pads, wrap with roll gauze, wrap with elastic gauze wrap from toes up. DO NOT PULL ELASTIC GAUZE WRAP OR ROLL GAUZE TIGHT change daily and as needed (PRN) for soilage. This same POS does not document a specific order for R266's Stage II Left Heel Pressure Ulcer. R266's Pressure Ulcer Risk assessment dated [DATE] documents R266 is at risk for Pressure Areas. R266's Facility Wound Rounds report dated 3/4/24 documents R266's Left Heel wound as a Stage II Pressure Ulcer. R266's Care Plan intervention dated 3/5/24 documents R266 requires assistance with bathing, dressing, bed mobility and full mechanical lift for transfers and to follow facility protocols for treatment of injury. This same careplan does not include any pressure relief interventions prior to 3/5/24. On 3/6/24 at 3:55 PM V12 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and V13 Registered Nurse (RN)/Wound Care Certified (WCC) completed wound care for R266's Stage II Left Heel Pressure Ulcer. V12 LPN removed a partially filled urinal from R266's bedside table. R266's bedside table had several areas where unknown liquid had been spilled. V13 RN/WCC observed V12 remove the urinal, then V13 placed bottles of wound supplies (wound cleanser, (antiseptic soap) and (providone-iodine)) directly on the contaminated bedside table. V12 LPN and V13 RN/WCC positioned R266 with a pillow under R266's knees for the dressing change. On R266's Left Heel was a nickel sized open area with red drainage. R266 rested the Left Heel Pressure Ulcer directly on the contaminated fitted sheet three separate times during wound care after V12 cleansed wound. A dime sized red area of drainage was observed on fitted sheet directly under where R266's Left Heel was laying. V12 LPN continued to dress R266's Left Heel contaminated Pressure Ulcer without re-cleansing the wound. On 3/6/24 at 5:45 PM V12 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated V12 cross contaminated R266's Stage II Left Heel Pressure Ulcer by not cleansing it after R266 had laid his Left Heel directly on the contaminated sheet. V12 LPN stated a clean field should have been provided prior to starting wound care for R266. V12 LPN stated I usually make sure I have a clean area to start with but (R266) just didn't have any room for all the supplies. I saw (R266) lay his Left Heel on the sheet but didn't think to reclean it. I should have.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe environment for use of oxygen in the presence of electrical heating devices and flammable materials in the facility beauty shop. This failure affects two residents (R11 and R48) out of nine reviewed for accidents and safety on a sample list of 33. Findings include: On 3/5/24 at 10:40 AM, R11 was in the beauty shop wearing oxygen tubing on her face and nose and actively receiving oxygen therapy from a portable liquid oxygen tank flowing at 2 liters per minute through a nasal cannula (tube connecting the oxygen tank to the resident's nose). V7, Beauty Shop Operator, was in the process of drying R11's hair with a hand-held electric blow dryer (glowing orange electrical coils and an electric fan motor which produces sparks, ignition source) approximately one foot from R11's head. R48 was seated in a wheelchair inside the beauty shop approximately 6 feet away from R11 and the hair dryer being used by V7. R48 was also wearing oxygen tubing on her face and nose and actively receiving oxygen therapy from a portable liquid oxygen tank through a nasal cannula flowing at 2 liters per minute. In the beauty shop there were flammable products present such as aerosol hair spray. On 3/5/24 at 10:41 AM, V1, Administrator, removed R48 from the beauty shop, and instructed V7 to remove the oxygen tubing from R11's face and turn R11's portable liquid oxygen tank to the off position. V7 stated, I have only been told not to use the large commercial hair dryers that the residents sit under when a resident is wearing oxygen. V7 stated, I have not been told about not using hand-held hair dryers when residents are wearing oxygen. On 3/5/24 at 11:05 AM, the door of the beauty shop was closed and R11 remained inside the beauty shop. R11 was then again wearing oxygen tubing on her face and nose and actively receiving oxygen therapy from the portable liquid oxygen tank flowing at 2 liters per minute through the nasal cannula. V7 again stated, I have not been informed about not using a curling iron (internal glowing orange electrical coils, ignition source) when a resident is wearing oxygen, only not to use the large hair dryers. On 3/5/24 at 11:10 AM, V1 stated, I would need to look up the facility policy and go over that policy with (V7). The current (3/5/24) American Lung Association guidelines for safe use of oxygen document, Do not use any electrical appliances such as hair dryers, curling irons, heating pads, and electric razors while wearing oxygen. The facility policy Oxygen Safety dated 2/2000 documents, spark producing devices shall be prohibited in oxygen storage. Refer to manufacturer recommendations as needed. The facility provided a piece of copy paper (untitled and undated) which was a manipulated copy of pages labeled 2, 3, 14, and 15. The provided page 2 was a picture of liquid oxygen portable tanks. Page 3 was a list of hazards and safety measures related to the use of oxygen concentrators (room air concentrators) and not related to the liquid oxygen portable tanks.

The safety measures for room air concentrators listed on the page 3 did include statements such as, Keep all flammable materials away from your oxygen. Do not use your oxygen around space heaters (glowing orange electrical coils). It takes 15 minutes for oxygen to leave your clothing, hair, and skin once you take off your oxygen. Be careful around anything that produces a spark such as a hair dryer or electric razor. Residents Affected - Few On 3/6/24 at 11:05 AM, V11, Life Safety Architect, confirmed, Oxygen in a beauty shop is a no-no. First you have pure oxygen along with flammable materials like hair spray, then a blow dryer is an ignition source. Upon request, V1, Administrator, provided the (Oxygen Supply Company) complete manufacturer education pamphlet dated 2/2021. This education pamphlet included additional cautionary statements such as, Keep the liquid oxygen tank at least 5 feet away from electrical appliances. Keep the liquid oxygen away from any flammable material.
