This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that expired medications are removed from use. Residents Affected - Few This applies to 1 of 5 residents (R55) reviewed for insulin storage, labeling, and administration in a sample of 22. The findings include: On 3/1/23 at 11:45 AM, two medication carts were reviewed with V3, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). During review, R55's Novolog insulin vial was found with open date of 1/28/23. V3, LPN, said R55's Novolog is expired, and threw the vial in the sharps container. V3, LPN, said Novolog insulin vials expire 28 days after opening. R55's Novolog insulin vial expiration date was 2/25/23. On 3/2/23 at 10:45 AM, V3 said R55 only has one Novolog insulin vial stocked in the medication cart for use at a time. V3 said the expired Novolog insulin vial that she threw in the sharps container on 3/1/23 at 11:45 AM was the same vial used since open date 1/28/23 to administer Novolog insulin to R55. On 3/1/23 and 3/2/23 V2, ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing), and V4, LPN, said expired insulin is not as effective in lowering elevated blood sugar levels. V2, ADON, said administering expired insulin is a medication error. R55's face sheet shows an admission date of 9/23/2020, and diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy. R55's POS (Physician Order Sheet), shows R55 receives 7 units of Novolog three times a day and sliding scale (1-4 units) Novolog three times a day, depending on R55's blood sugar result, related to type 2 diabetes. R55's care plan dated 2/6/23 shows R55 is at risk for fluctuating blood sugars due to diabetes and interventions include to administer medications as ordered. R55's MAR (Medication Administration Record) shows from 2/26/23 through 3/1/23 at 11:45 AM, R55 received expired Novolog insulin 19 times. R55's vitals summary shows over the course of those three and a half days, R55's blood sugar was elevated 250 or above 4 times. Novolog insulin aspart injection 100units/mL manufacturer guidelines provided by V1, Administrator, reads an in-use/opened multiple dose vial of Novolog has a total in-use time of 28 days.

R19's Restorative Assessment, dated 11/9/2022, shows R19 with limited range of motion to left and right ankle and wears inflatable boots. On 03/02/23 at 09:46 AM, V11 (wound nurse) stated R11 should have hand splint or rolled towel on left hand. V11 stated restorative aides put the hand splints on but CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistant) are also educated on how to apply them. V11 stated all floor staff is responsible in verifying that splints, braces, rolled towel and boots are in place and kept in place. V11 stated R19 should always have boots on while he is in bed. V11 stated R19 is always in bed. On 03/02/23 at 12:01 PM, V2 (ADON-Assistant Director of Nursing) stated splints are applied by restorative CNAs and they are expected to communicate with floor staff that splints have been applied. Nurses, CNAs, and restorative aides are responsible to check and verify for splints, braces, rolled towel and heel protectors. V2 (ADON) stated splints, braces, rolled towels are used to improve functional capabilities and if not applied, can lead to contracture, worsening of contracture or deterioration of function.

F 0694 Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. R289 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and is cognitively intact. Diagnoses includes, but is not limited to, cellulitis of the right lower limb, pseudomonas, lymphedema, and chronic lymphatic leukemia. Residents Affected - Few On 2/28/23 at 12:11 PM, R289 was noted with a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter), dated 2/23/23, to his left upper arm. The dressing covering the PICC was soiled and lifted at the lower corners. On 3/1/23 at 2:15 PM, R289 was noted with the same soiled PICC dressing dated 2/23/23. The bottom edge of the PICC dressing had lifted off. R289 stated they don't do anything with his PICC. On 3/2/23 at 10:12 AM, V13, RN (Registered Nurse), stated she had not checked his PICC. The PICC dressing is changed by the night shift nurse on Wednesdays and as needed. On 3/3/23 at 9:43 AM, V15, NP (Nurse Practitioner), stated, PICC line dressings are changed weekly and as needed. If the dressing becomes dirty or the (occlusive dressing) is lifted the dressing should be changed. If it is dirty or no longer intact it sets up a risk for infection. The line can become compromised and impact the stability of the line causing it to be inadvertently pulled out if not secured. A line dressing left in place past the change date also poses an increased risk for infection. Physician order, dated 2/17/23, documents, change IV catheter dressing and cap with transparent dressing as needed and every night shift every Wednesday. Check site for signs and symptoms of infiltration, infection, drainage, irritation, and redness during infusion every shift. Facility policy Intravenous Therapy, revised date 7/28/22, states, It is the facility's policy to ensure that intravenous policy and procedure are compliant to federal standards of care. All central line dressing will be changed every 7 days and prn (as needed). Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor and maintain PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line dressings that were dirty and not occlusive. This applies to 2 of 2 (R79, R289) residents reviewed for PICC lines in a total sample of 22. Findings include: 1. R79's face sheet documents diagnoses including compression fracture of the lumbar vertebra, sepsis, and osteomyelitis of vertebra. R79's MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 2/2/2023, showed R79 was cognitively intact. R79 requires extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. On 2/28/2023 at 9:57 AM, R79's PICC line dressing was not occlusive on R79's skin. R79's dressing was lifting 1 inch on the bottom right corner, and the tubing was observed to be exposed to air. R79's PICC line did not have a disinfection cap at the end of the needless connector. R79 said the PICC line dressing was last changed two weeks ago. On 3/2/2023 at 1:04 PM, R79 said, They've [staff] all seen it.

F 0694 it coming off. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Multiple observations were made from 2/28/2023 through 3/2/2023 of R79's PICC line, and no disinfection cap was placed on the needless connector. Residents Affected - Few On 3/1/2023 at 11:04 AM, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing/Interim Director of Nursing) observed R79's PICC line, and told R79 his PICC should have a disinfection cap on the end of the needless connector. On 3/1/2023 at 2:03 PM, V2 also said the PICC line dressing should be changed weekly and as needed. V2 said the dressing should be changed and stabilized if the dressing is lifting, saturated, skin irritation, and there are changes around the skin, as there is risk for movement and breaking of the catheter. V2 also said there should be a disinfection cap at the end of the PICC line to prevent infection. Record review of R79's TAR (Treatment Administration Record) documents the dressing was last changed on 2/15/2023. The TAR shows the dressing was due to be changed on 2/22/2023, but no treatment administration was documented. R79's progress notes were reviewed from 2/10/2023 to present, and no documentation of dressing change of the PICC line was found. R79's MAR (Medication Administration Record) shows R79 receives medication through the PICC line every eight hours.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow physician orders for pain management and assessment. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (386) reviewed for pain management in a sample of 22. Residents Affected - Few Finding includes: On 11/22/2022 at 11:08 AM, R386 indicated he wanted to take his Tylenol #3 medication for pain for three days since the admission to the facility on [DATE], and he has been asking staff, with no help. R386 said he has been taking Tylenol #3 for 30 years for his chronic pain. R386 said he was recently admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain before coming to the facility and received Tylenol #3 at the hospital also. R1 said he feels he has a 10 out of 10 pain rating (10 indicates highest pain) most of the time in his shoulder, back, and sometimes in his legs due to spinal stenosis of the back, kidney injury, and gallbladder stone-related conditions. On 03/01/2023 at 11:19 AM, R386 said he asked for Tylenol #3 at night and in the morning around 7:30 AM, and still didn't get it. R386 further said he also reported to V8 (Occupational Therapy Aide) and V9(Physical Therapy Aide) on 02/28/2023. On 03/02/2023, V7 (Certified Nursing Assistant) at 2:00 PM, and V9 (Physical Therapy Aide) at 11:45 AM, said R386 reported shoulder pain to them on 02/27/2023, and they reported it to the nurse for R386. V9 said R386 reported back pain on 02/28/2023, and they reported it to the nurse on duty. R386's admission Physician Order Sheet (POS), dated 02/25/2023, indicated R1 could have a Tylenol #3 tablet of 300-30 milligrams every 12 hours as needed for pain. A review of the narcotic binder sign out sheets on 02/28/2023 at 12:00 PM, indicated R386 did not have a sign out sheet for Tylenol #3. R1's Physician's Order sheet, dated 02/25/2023, shows diagnoses included acute cholecystitis, acute kidney injury, spinal stenosis of the lumbar region, and type 2 diabetes. R386's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) in progress indicated R1 was cognitively moderately intact, and the admission care plan indicated evaluating pain and providing pain medication as ordered. On 02/28/2023 at 11:45 AM, V5 (Nurse from Agency) said she was unaware of the physician's order, and would call the pharmacy immediately. On 03/02/2023 at 12:00 PM, V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse) said she called the pharmacy on 02/25/2023. On 03/02/2023 at 12:50 PM, V10 (Pharmacy Director of Quality) said they don't have any call records of the facility calling for Tylenol #3 on 02/25/2023.

This applies to R49 and R289 reviewed for medication storage in a sample size of 22. 1. R289 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] per current Physician's Order Sheet, with diagnoses to include, but is not limited to, cellulitis of the right lower limb, pseudomonas, lymphedema, and chronic lymphatic leukemia. On 2/28/23 at 12:11 PM, a half- filled bottle of Cefuroxime 500mg, dated 12/09/22, was on top of R289's bedside table. On 3/2/23 at 9:50 AM, R289 was still in possession of the bottle of Cefuroxime. On 3/2/23 at 10:12 AM, V13, RN (Registered Nurse), stated R289 did not have an assessment to keep medications at his bedside. Residents are not typically allowed to keep their medications at the bedside. On 3/2/23 at 10:23 AM, V14, Nurse Consultant, stated there should not be any medications left at bedside. If a resident was going to have medications at the bedside, they would need an assessment and physicians order. On 3/2/23 at 1:05 PM, V14 stated R289 did not have an assessment to keep medication at the bedside. On 3/3/23 at 9:43 AM, V15, Nurse Practitioner, stated she had no knowledge of any resident at the facility being assessed to keep medications at the bedside. There is a potential for the resident to take something they shouldn't have or take much or not enough. Medications need to be listed by the pharmacy to determine if there is a negative drug interaction. Medications should be secured because a confused resident could wander into the room and take those medications by mistake. Review of R289 current physician orders (March 2023) does not list Cefuroxime. The facility policy Medication Storage, Labeling and Disposal policy, revised date 10/24/22, states federal it is facility's policy to comply with federal regulations in storage, labeling and disposal of medications.
