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.

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).

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: During a review of Resident 6's clinical record, the face sheet (contains demographic information) indicated Resident 6 was initially admitted to the facility on November 28, 2011 and was re-admitted to the facility on March 13, 2019 under hospice care, with diagnoses of 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 lungs instead of the stomach) and "does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions."

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.

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."
