would be able to reach the call light. The purpose of the call light is so the resident can call if they need
something. The call light should be located within reach of the resident.
On 08/08/23 at 11:43 AM V8 (Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I will take the blame for (R65) call light being
out of reach. I changed the sheet on the bed because it had a hole in it, and I forgot to put the call light back
in place.
On 08/09/23 01:29 PM V3 (Director of Nursing) stated the call light needs to be answered promptly. The call
light should be within the reach of the resident so they can put it on the moment that they need it, and so

mattress was on and operating. V7 responded it was on when I came in here earlier. It may have gotten
loose a little bit ago. V7 tuned on the low air loss mattress pump, bent over, and touched the edge of the
mattress then said, the mattress is still firm, someone may have bumped it.
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.

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.
V15 (Registered Dietitian) stated there are 2 residents who receive nothing by mouth and therefore do not
receive any trays from the kitchen.
On 08/08/23 at 12:10 PM, during dining observations in the unit dining room observed numerous 8 ounce
milk cartons in a large container of ice and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) pulling milk cartons from
the container and serving to residents as part of the meal service process. Observed 8-ounce carton of Fat
Free Chocolate Milk date 08/07/23. V13 (Dietary Aide) serving the food stated, we wouldn't serve this
because it's expired and normally we check the milk cartons for expiration dates. V17 (Resident Assistant)
viewed the carton of milk dated 08/07/23 and stated, it should have been tossed yesterday.
On 08/10/23 at 10:02 AM, V14 stated if there is no expiration date printed on a food container such as
salad dressings or mayonnaise-based item than the kitchen would go by 30 days for use from the opened
date. V14 stated if there is no open date or use by date the staff won't know when the item would expire
and there would be no way to identify when it should be used by or disposed of. V14 stated this could
potentially cause cross contamination and cause a resident to get sick. V14 stated the chocolate milk dated
08/07/23 being served on 08/08/23 should not have been delivered to the unit and it should have been
identified down in the kitchen and discarded.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure shared equipment was
cleaned and decontaminated between each use for four [R28, R65, R81, R105] of seven residents
reviewed for medication administration observation on the total sample of 23.
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 10:50 AM, V9 placed the blood pressure machine on R65's air loss mattress, and obtained
R65's blood pressure [154/72, pulse 62]. V9 used the pulse oximeter finger device on R65's finger [99%
oxygen and pulse 65]. 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.
