On 08/09/23 at 01:29 PM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated my expectations are that the staff are supposed to check the low air loss mattress machine and make sure it is in good working condition. The low air loss mattress should be turned on, so it does what it supposed to do, relieve pressure, and prevent pressure ulcers. Facility Policy documents: Titled Low Air-Loss Mattress undated document in part: Purpose: To maintain skin integrity and to promote healing of existing pressure ulcers. The Air Loss Mattress: These mattresses are a great solution for patients that are bound to their beds or simply spend a lot of time in them. They will fend off skin sores and any other conditions that appear as a result of prolonged stay in one's bed. Low air loss mattresses are use for patients who may be in bed for long periods of time. A patient using a low air loss mattress will help prevent bed sores. Air loss mattresses take the pressure off of a patient's body.

F 0812 I know they get rotated but without the dates you don't know. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 08/08/23 at 9:57 AM, observed in the flour bulk container a small saucepan covered in flour and a square metal container in the cornstarch bulk bin. V14 stated the staff must be using those items to get the product out of the bin. V14 stated there should not be anything stored in the bulk containers to prevent risk of cross contamination. V14 stated if an employee did not change gloves or perform hand washing after using a piece of equipment to portion out the bulk food items and then placed those pieces of equipment back into the bulk containers this could cause a cross contamination concern. V14 stated V14 expectation is that the staff would use a scoop as a single use item and bring to the dish room when finished with it, not put it back into the bulk container. Residents Affected - Many On 08/08/23 at 10:57 AM, V14 provided requested information on diet lists, spreadsheets, and menu cycle.

Residents Affected - Some Findings included: On 8/8/23 at 9:37 AM, medication pass was observed with V9 [Registered Nurse]. There was a blood pressure machine on top on the medication cart. V9 placed the blood pressure machine on R105's lap and obtained R105's blood pressure on the right arm [114/53, pulse 64]. V9 did not clean the blood pressure machine before or after use. On 8/8/23 at 9:50 AM, V9 place the blood pressure machine on R81, and obtained R81's blood pressure [114/76, pulse 86]. V9 did not clean the blood pressure machine before or after use. On 8/8/23 at 10:06 AM, V9 placed the blood pressure machine on the dining room table and obtained R28's blood pressure [135/76 pulse 71]. V9 used a pulse oximeter finger device on R28's finger [97% oxygen and pulse 70]. V9 did not clean the blood pressure machine or pulse oximeter device before or after use.

On 8/8/23 at 10:53 AM, V9 stated, I been working here at this facility for a year. However, I been a registered nurse for three years. I forgot to clean the blood pressure machine and the pulse oximeter before and after each resident use. I was focused on administering medications. I could have spread infection from one resident to another. I should have cleaned the blood pressure machine and pulse oximeter with a sanitizing wipe after each use to prevent the spread of infections. On 8/10/23 at V3 [Director of Nursing] stated, My expectation for shared blood pressure machines and pulse oximetry devices is for the nurses to clean and disinfect the shared resident devices before and after each resident use. If the nurse does not disinfect the shared devices, that could potentially spread infection from one resident to the next resident. V9 have been in-services in June 2023, and August 8, 2023. V9 knew the importance of cleaning the blood pressure machine and pulse oximetry device between each resident to prevent the possibility of spreading an infection.
