The facility must ensure that residents who
require dialysis receive such services,
consistent with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered
care plan, and the residents' goals and
preferences.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure nursing
assessments were completed and documented
before or after renal (kidney) dialysis (dialysis a process of cleaning and purifying the blood)
for four of four (4) sampled residents (Resident
29,84,90 and 89) when:
1.Resident 29's clinical record did not show any
evidence that the post dialysis assessment (an
evaluation of the resident's health status which
included the cognitive status, temperature,
blood pressure, breathing pattern, dialysis
dressing site) was completed by the nursing
staff.
2. Resident 84's clinical record did not show
any evidence of a completed post dialysis
assessment by the nursing staff.
3. Resident 90's clinical record did not show
any evidence of a completed pre and post
dialysis assessment by the nursing staff.
4. Resident 89's clinical record did not show
any evidence of a completed post dialysis
assessment by the nursing staff.
These failures had the potential to lead to a
delay in the recognition of complications
associated with dialysis such as prolonged
bleeding or difficulties with vascular access
(vascular access - a way to reach the blood for
dialysis).

according to the physician's orders when:
1. For Resident 47, review of the Medication
Administration Record (MAR), revealed
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 5) failed to
administer insulin in accordance with the
physician's orders, which resulted in LVN 5 not
giving insulin when the blood sugar orders
indicated it should be given, and giving the
insulin without verifying the blood sugar result
as ordered. This placed Resident 47 at risk for
hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
2. For Resident 80, Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN 7) did not perform the blood sugar testing
and administer the insulin as per the
physician's order on March 17, 2019.
These failures had the potential to cause harm
and even death to Resident 47 and Resident
80 due to the effects of hyperglycemia and
hypoglycemia.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 47's clinical record,
indicated Resident 47 was admitted to the

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to follow their policy
and procedure for one of 25 sampled residents
(Resident 6), when the Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 1) was observed mixing four
teaspoons (tsp, a unit of measurement) of
thickening powder (a powder used to thicken
fluids or food for individuals on a mechanically
altered diet) into a 32-ounce (oz, a unit of
measurement) pitcher of water and placed it at
the bedside for resident use.
This failed practice had the potential to result in
harm which increased Resident 6's risk of
aspiration (when a person inhales food,
stomach acid, or saliva into the lungs) due to
the recommended amount of thickening
powder not being properly mixed by designated
dietary staff in the specified amount of water.
Findings:
During an observation on March 20, 2019, at
6:42 AM, at Medication Cart A, Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA 1) approached LVN 1
with a pitcher of ice water and asked LVN 1 to
add thickening powder to the container for
Resident 6. LVN 1 was observed using a
plastic spoon equivalent to one teaspoon to
add the thickening powder to the pitcher of ice
water.
During an interview with LVN 1 on March 20,
2019, at 7:20 AM, LVN 1 stated the nursing
staff is allowed to mix thickened liquid
consistencies for resident use. LVN 1
confirmed he mixed 4 teaspoons of the
thickening powder to a 32-ounce pitcher of
water.

protein-calorie malnutrition (when protein and
calorie intake does not meet the individual's
needs), cerebrovascular disease (a group of
diseases that affect blood supply to the brain),
and aphasia (impaired ability to speak or
express oneself).
A review of Resident 6's "History and Physical"
dated March 17, 2019, indicated Resident 6
had a recent diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia
(a lung infection that occurs when a person
inhales food, stomach acid, or saliva into the

dated March 13, 2019, at 7:30 PM, indicated a
diet order of "nectar thickened liquid (a mildly
thickened fluid) for oral gratification x [times] 2
days then reassess."
During an interview with LVN 2 on March 20,
2019, at 12:40 PM, he stated thickened liquids
should be obtained from the kitchen, "we don't
mix it ourselves." The LVN 2 further stated, the
dietary staff will mix the thickened liquid to the
correct consistency.
During an interview and record review with the

LVN 1 needed to mix a total of eight
tablespoons of "Lyons ReadyCare Instant Food
Thickener" in the 32 oz pitcher of water
provided to Resident 6 to get a nectar thick
consistency instead of 4 teaspoons.
During an interview and record review with the

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to have a physician
order for a mechanically altered diet (the
texture of food items are changed from the
original consistency) for one of 25 sampled
residents (Resident 6).
This failed practice had the potential to cause
harm and inadequate nutrition to Resident 6;
who was at risk for aspiration, when staff
provided a meal tray for 15 out of 17 meals to
Resident 6 without a physician order specifying
the type of diet needed.
Findings:

2. Metal bowls, sheet pans and baking pans
were found stacked and stored wet.
These failures had the potential for the growth
of harmful bacteria and cross contamination
that could lead to food borne illness for a
medically compromised population of 95
residents who received food from the kitchen
out of a facility census of 95.
Findings:
1. During an initial tour of the kitchen on March
18, 2019 at 8:05 AM, DA 1, left the kitchen to
remove her jacket and grab her apron and
came back into the kitchen and proceeded to
handle clean dishware without first washing her
hands. According to the FDA Food Code 2017,
staff should hand wash "Employees must wash
their hands after any activity which may result
in contamination of the hands. Handwashing is
a critical factor in reducing fecal-oral pathogens
that can be transmitted from hands to RTE
food as well as other pathogens that can be
transmitted from environmental sources."
During an interview on March 18, 2019 at 8:05
AM, DA 1 stated she forgot to wash her hands
because she had to grab her apron and put her
jacket away.
During an interview with the Registered
Dietitian- consultant (RD-C) on March 18, 2019
at 11:05 AM, she stated she instructs the
dietary staff to wash their hands upon entering
the kitchen, upon removal or change of gloves,
between touching dirty vs. clean dishes, before
preparing foods, between touching raw and
cooked foods, after handling carts, etc. and she
gives in-service instruction to the staff on
proper hand washing.

2. During an observation on March 20, 2019 at
8:50 AM, in the main kitchen area, with the
Cook and DA 2, metal bowls, sheet pans and
baking pans of various sizes were observed on
shelves in the food production area, stacked
and stored wet without air circulation. Items
were separated and placed on the counter to
verify with staff that they did in fact have water
drops. Diet Aide 2 and the Cook verified that
the items had water. According to the FDA
Food Code 2017, "Items must be allowed to
drain and air-dry before being stacked and
stored. Stacking wet items such as pans
prevents them from drying and may allow an
environment where microorganisms can begin
to grow."
During an interview on March 20, 2019 at 8:52

should be dry before storing.
During an interview on March 20, 2019 at 9:05

should not store dishes wet.
During a review of the facilities policies and

§483.80(f) Annual review.
The facility will conduct an annual review of its
IPCP and update their program, as necessary.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the
glucometer (a device used to perform the finger
stick blood test (pricking with a tiny needle and
then using a little strip and a glucometer to test
blood sugar levels) was disinfected according
to the manufacturer's guidelines and adhere to
use specified Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) approved disinfectant (a chemical agent
that destroy bacteria, virus, and fungi) and to
the facility's policy and procedure to use the
appropriate disinfectant before and after
residents' use for four of 35 sampled residents
(Residents 63, 56, 30, and 9) in the universe of
95 residents.
1. For Resident 63, the Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 2) did not disinfect the glucometer
before resident use.
2. For resident 56, 30 and 9 the LVN 5 did not
disinfect the glucometer before, after and
between the finger stick blood test.
These failures created an overall danger of
transmission of a blood borne infection
(disease that can be spread through
contaminated blood and other body fluids) to
35 residents who shared a potentially
contaminated glucometer.
