**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. R101 has
multiple diagnoses which includes generalized muscle weakness, stage 3 chronic kidney disease and
history of MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), based on the face sheet.
R101's admission MDS (minimum data set) dated January 5, 2023, shows that the resident is cognitively
intact. The MDS showed that R101 required extensive assistance from the staff with most of her ADLs
(activities of daily living) including toilet use and personal hygiene. The same MDS shows that R101 is
always incontinent of bladder function.
On March 21, 2023, at 1:07 AM, R101 was transferred to bed from the wheelchair. R101's wheelchair
cushion was visibly wet when the resident was transferred. V3 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) provided
bladder incontinence care to R101 with the assistance of V4 (CNA). When V3 and V4 removed R101's
disposable brief, the resident's brief was wet with urine. V3 used three disposable cloths (at the same time)
and wiped R101's abdominal fold and pubic area, then R101's right and left groin and thigh areas and then
proceeded to wipe R101's front area from the pubis down towards the anal area, twice in a downward
motion. V3 did not separate R101's labial folds and during the entire procedure V3 used the same side of
the disposable cloths to wipe the resident. V3 and V4 turned R101 on her right side, applied a new
disposable brief under the resident, then V3 applied barrier/protectant cream to R101's sacral/coccyx and
buttocks without cleaning the mentioned back side of the resident and then V3 and V4 fastened the clean
disposable brief that was earlier placed under the resident.
R101's active care plan initiated on January 18, 2023, showed that the resident is incontinent of bladder
function. The same care plan showed multiple interventions which include, Clean peri-area with each
incontinence episode.
On March 22, 2023, at 8:45 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that when providing incontinence care to a
resident, the clean side of the disposable cloth should be used each time the resident is being wiped. The
disposable cloth maybe folded to use the clean side of the cloth and never the same used/soiled side to
wipe/clean the perineal area to prevent potential infection and cross contamination. V2 stated that for
female residents, the staff should separate the labial folds to clean the area and to maintain hygiene. During
the same interview, V2 stated that R101's buttock and sacral/coccyx area should also be cleaned when
providing bladder incontinence care because it is part of the care to maintain hygiene and prevent cross
contamination.
The facility's policy and procedure regarding incontinence perineal care last reviewed by the facility on
January 20, 2023, showed, It is the policy of [Nursing facility] to provide cleanliness and comfort to the
resident, to prevent infections and skin irritation, and to observe the resident's

4. R119 has multiple diagnoses which includes type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive and reflux uropathy,
retention of urine, hydronephrosis, hydroureter and cyst of kidney, based on the face sheet.
R119's annual MDS dated [DATE], shows that the resident is severely impaired with cognition. The MDS
showed that R119 required extensive assistance from the staff with most of her ADLs including toilet use
(how resident manages her catheter). The same MDS showed that R119 had indwelling urinary catheter.
On March 20, 2023, at 11:35 AM, R119 was sitting in her wheelchair inside her room with her daughter at
the bedside. R119 had indwelling urethral catheter draining to moderated amount of yellow urine. R119's
urinary catheter tubing had white sediments and her urinary catheter bag which was placed under her
wheelchair was touching the floor.
On March 22, 2023, at 8:40 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the urinary catheter drainage bag
should be contained inside a privacy bag. V2 added that the urinary catheter drainage bag should not touch
the floor to prevent potential infection and to ensure no pathogens from the floor could contaminate the
catheter drainage bag and catheter tubing.
The facility's policy and procedure regarding urinary catheter care last reviewed by the facility on January
20, 2023, showed, It is the policy of [Nursing facility] to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
The same policy and procedure under infection control showed in-part, 2. Maintain clean techniques when
handling or manipulating the catheter, tubing, or drainage bag. b. Be sure that catheter tubing and drainage
bag are kept off the floor.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide incontinence care in a
manner that would prevent potential urinary tract infection (UTI). The facility also failed to ensure that the
indwelling catheter drainage bag was not touching the floor.
This applies to 4 of 4 residents (R42, R101, R119, R134) reviewed for incontinence and urinary catheter
care in the sample of 27 residents.
The findings include:
1. On 3/21/23 at 3:41 PM, V13 and V14 (Both Certified Nursing Assistants/CNA) rendered incontinence
care to R42 who was wet with urine and had a bowel movement. There was redness in the abdominal folds
and excoriation to front and back of the peri-area, and groins. V13 wiped R42 from the abdominal folds
down to mid perineum, then she proceeded to clean the back perineum. V13 did not separate the labial
folds to clean the inner area and she did not wipe the groins.
2. On 3/21/23 at 4:19 PM, V13 and V14 provided peri-care to R134 who has an indwelling urinary catheter.
R134 also had small bowel movement. V13 cleaned the tip and anterior part of R134's shaft, pubic area,
groins, and back perineum. V13 changed her gloves without hand hygiene and proceeded to apply clean
incontinence brief. However, V13 did not clean the posterior part of the penile shaft, the

care. State representative prompted staff to completely clean the frontal peri-area and the catheter tubing.
On 3/22/23 at 12:51 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that when providing incontinence care the
staff must clean all the areas that has been soiled by urine and feces. This includes the whole peri-are and
groins. If the resident is female, the staff must separate the labia and clean the inner folds. For the male,
with catheter, the staff must clean the whole penile shaft including the tip, the scrotal area, and the catheter
tube because it's going inside the shaft. This is to prevent infection from the contamination, so they must
clean the whole area thoroughly.
R42's and R134's most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) shows that both residents require extensive
assistance for toileting and hygiene.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that narcotic medication administered to
residents was recorded according to the facility's-controlled substances policy.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 2 of 2 residents (R294, R295) reviewed for medication storage in the sample of 27.
The findings include:
On March 22, 2023, at 10:20 AM, during review of the unit medication cart with V16 (Licensed Practical
Nurse) the narcotics logbook was reviewed. When V16 was asked if she had administered any narcotics
(controlled substances) on her shift that day, V16 reported she administered hydrocodone to R295 at 7:52
AM, and hydromorphone to R294 at 7:22 AM. The facility's Controlled Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition
Form for these respective residents was reviewed, and it was noted that neither of these narcotic
medications was recorded as administered to R294 and R295. When asked about this lack of
documentation of the narcotic medications, V16 confirmed that she had not documented either dose when
administered to the above-mentioned residents. V16 added that it was her usual practice to go back later in
the shift and sign them (narcotics) out in the book. V6 (Assistant Director of Nursing for Risk Management)
was available on the unit during this review and was asked about the facility's process of documentation of
narcotics administration. V6 stated it was her expectation that the nurse sign on the paper sheet (in the
Narcotic Logbook) when the medication is given, as well as the amount (of doses) remaining. V6 stated this
is according to the facility's policy for narcotics administration.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure puree food was prepared to
a smooth consistency for the dinner meal.
Residents Affected - Some
This applies to all the 11 residents (R5, R7, R12, R16, R19, R24, R55, R60, R92, R98, R119) who are
receiving pureed diet in the facility in the sample of 27.
The findings include:
On 3/20/23 at 2:00 PM, V9 (Cook) pureed food for dinner time. V9 stated she's making pureed Philly Steaks
for 12 servings. V9 placed 24 oz of beef, 3 cups of liquid (Meat Broth), 1 cup of thickener and 1 cup of
shredded cheese in the blender. V9 pureed all these ingredients together. After pureeing the beef (Philly
Steak), the state representative tasted it, the consistency was not smooth, it was grainy. State
representative brought this to the attention of V9. She (V9) did not taste it and responded by saying that she
will place the pureed beef in the oven which would soften it up more. V9 proceeded to put it in the container
trays and covered it with plastic wrap and foil without tasting it.
On 3/20/23 at 4:38 PM, V17 (Dietary Aid) was in the unit (1st Avenue) setting up the food for dinner at the
steam table. The pureed beef remained very grainy.
On 3/20/23 at 5:00 PM, V7 (Director of Food and Nutrition/Registered Dietitian) and V8 (Dietary Manager)
tasted the pureed beef which was about to be sent to the unit. Both stated that the beef was not smooth
and confirmed that it was grainy.
On 3/21/23 11:05 AM, V7 stated that the pureed food is supposed to be smooth and creamy, pudding-like
or baby-food like.
Facility presented the list of their residents who receive pureed diet, there were 11 residents (R5, R7, R12,
R16, R19, R24, R55, R60, R92, R98, R119).
Facility's Policy/Procedure regarding Pureed (National Dysphagia Diet Level 1 Pureed) dated 2021
indicates:
Distinguishing Features: The dysphagia pureed diet is the least advanced of the texture modified diets. It
provides food that are pureed, homogenous and cohesive. The food should be semi-solid smooth
consistency. No chewing or bolus formation is required. All foods must be pureed or be naturally
pudding-like. Foods commonly avoided are those with coarse textures and difficult to puree to a
pudding-like consistency. This diet is a transition to the dysphagia mechanically altered diet.
Purpose: The dysphagia pureed diet is designed to optimized nutritional intake and facilitate swallowing for
individuals with oral and/or pharyngeal dysphagia.

disease and history of MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), based on the face sheet.
Residents Affected - Few
R101's admission MDS (minimum data set) dated January 5, 2023, shows that the resident is cognitively
intact. The MDS showed that R101 required extensive assistance from the staff with most of her ADLs
(activities of daily living) including toilet use and personal hygiene. The same MDS shows that R101 is
always incontinent of bladder function.
On March 21, 2023, at 1:07 AM, R101 was transferred to bed from the wheelchair. R101's wheelchair
cushion was visibly wet when the resident was transferred. V3 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) provided
bladder incontinence care to R101 with the assistance of V4 (CNA). When V3 and V4 removed R101's
disposable brief, the resident's brief was wet with urine. After wiping R101's front perineal area, V3 removed
his gloves and without performing hand hygiene, V3 opened R101's bedside drawers looking for
barrier/protectant cream, not finding the cream, V3 opened the resident's door to go out of the room to look
for a barrier/protectant cream. When V3 returned to R101's room, that was the time that he went inside the
resident's washroom to wash his hands. During this time, V4 was able to find the available barrier cream on
top of R101's drawer. After V3 washed his hands, he put on a new pair of gloves and with the assistance of
V4, V3 turned R101 on her right side, applied a new disposable brief under the resident, then V3 applied
the barrier/protectant cream to R101's sacral/coccyx and buttocks without cleaning the mentioned back
side of the resident. After applying the barrier cream, using the same gloves, V3 fastened the right side of
the disposable brief while V4 fastened the left side, V3 assisted with putting on a new pair of pants to R101,
assisted with repositioning R101 in bed and then used the bed remote to adjust R101's bed, while still
using the same gloves that he used to apply the barrier cream. After R101's incontinence care the wound
care team proceeded to provide treatments to R101's wounds and when it was completed, R101 was
transferred back to her wheelchair by V3 and V12 (wound care Nurse). R101 used the same wheelchair
cushion that was earlier observed to be wet with urine, without it being cleaned/disinfected.
On March 22, 2023, at 8:45 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that after V3 provided incontinence care to
R101's front perineal area and removed his gloves, V3 should perform hand hygiene such as handwashing
or use of alcohol rub before opening the resident's drawers and touching the doorknob. According to V2,
after V3 applied the barrier cream to R101's sacral/coccyx and buttock areas, V3 should remove his gloves,
perform hygiene such as hand washing/use of alcohol rub and then put on a new pair of gloves, before
touching/fastening the clean disposable brief, before putting on the clean pair of pants to R101, before
repositioning R101 in bed and before touching any of the resident's equipment to prevent cross
contamination, especially since V3 did not clean R101's sacral/coccyx and buttock areas before application
of the barrier cream. During the same interview, V2 stated that to prevent cross contamination, the staff
should have cleaned and disinfected R101's wheelchair cushion before putting the resident in the
wheelchair because it was visibly wet with urine when the resident was transferred to bed.
The facility's policy and procedure regarding handwashing last reviewed by the facility on January 20, 2023,
showed, It is the policy of [Nursing facility] to ensure that the proper handwashing technique is used for the
prevention and transmission of infectious diseases and is the cornerstone of all infection control practices.
The same policy and procedure showed in-part under procedures, 6. Use an alcohol-based hand rub

The facility's policy and procedure regarding infection control - gloves showed, It is the policy of [Nursing
facility] for staff to use gloves for maintaining health and for monitoring infection control. The same policy
and procedure under glove use and the need for hand hygiene showed in-part, When an indication for hand
hygiene follows a contact that has required gloves, hand rubbing, or hand washing should occur after
removing gloves. When an indication for hand hygiene applies while the health-care worker is wearing
gloves, then gloves should be removed to perform hand rubbing or handwashing.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow standard infection control
practices with regards to changing of gloves and hand hygiene during provisions of care.
This applies to 2 of 27 residents (R101, R134) reviewed for infection control in the sample of 27 residents.
The findings include:

R134 who had an indwelling urinary catheter. R134 also had small bowel movement. V13 cleaned the
resident from front to back. V13 then changed her gloves and without performing hand hygiene V13 applied
clean incontinence brief and repositioned R134.
On /22/23 at 1:04 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that when staff are providing incontinence care
to residents the staff must perform hand hygiene before and after care. They should also remove gloves
and do hand hygiene before they proceed to another task. This is to prevent cross contamination and
spread of infection.
