(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0880
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow infection control procedures
during medication administration for one (R1) out of two residents observed during medication pass.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 9/12/2023 at 10:19 AM, V7 (Nurse) prepared medications for R1. V7 used R1's eMAR to determine
which medications to pull from the medication cart. Facility uses blister packs for residents' medications.
While preparing R1's medications, V7 repeatedly popped out multiple oral pills and capsules into bare
hand, and then placed them into the medication cup. At one point, V7 popped Furosemide pill and missed
the medication cup. The pill landed on top of the medication cart. V7 picked up the pill with a bare hand,
and placed it into the medicine cup. At 10:29 AM, V7 handed the medicine cup to R1.
At 3:08 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated nurses are not supposed to have contact with the medications
with their bare hands. V2 stated nurses are supposed to pop them from the blister packs directly into a
medicine cup.
Facility's Administering Medications policy, last revised 4/2019, documents: Staff follows established facility
infection control procedures (e.g., handwashing, antiseptic technique, gloves, isolation precautions, etc.) for
the administration of medications, as applicable.
