brakes was locked and yanked the chair backwards to take her to the shower room while in the shower
room, I turned the water on and moved the shower chair. STNA #199 began taking resident #25's shoes
and socks off, but while doing so she ripped then off of her feet and was very rushed. STNA #199 then
yanked Resident #25's shirt up her back and pulled it forcefully over her head. It was time for Resident #25
to stand and STNA #199 was being aggressive with her. STNA #199 pushed Resident #25's wheelchair to
the wall, where the shower bar is located aggressively and with force. STNA #199 failed to look or check to
see if Resident #25's affected foot was in a safe position to transfer, STNA #199 continued to push the
wheelchair close to the wall which caused Resident #25's affected foot to bend further against the wall. I
told STNA #199 that her foot was against the wall, she then forcefully angled the wheelchair correctly. All
while this occurred, STNA #199 seemed extremely hostile and rushed. STNA #199 instructed Resident #25
to grab onto the shower bar to pull herself to stand. STNA #199 stated she acts like she can't do anything
for herself. I assisted Resident #25 to stand to transfer to the shower chair. Once in the shower chair,
something happened between Resident #25 and STNA #199 that triggered and argument. Everything
happened so quickly. They became physical with one another. Resident #25 swung her fist multiple times at
STNA #199, while Resident #25 was swinging her fist, STNA #199 grabbed her left arm many times. STNA
#199 began scramming and drew her fist back at Resident #25 and stated I'll fuck you up. Resident #25
made contact with STNA #199's upper body. STNA #199 then jerked Resident #25's arm and screamed at
her. I can not remember what was said again, everything escalated so quickly. I was so overwhelmed and I
intervened. I started shouting stop! stop! I help my hand up and attempted to place my arm between the
two of them. I was able to hold Resident #25's hand which resulted in Resident #25 grabbing my arm and
digging her nails into my arm. STNA #199 tried to get Resident #25 off of my arm, which I told her that
Resident #25 was fine, that she needed to calm down. STNA #199 again grabbed Resident #25's arm and
threw it down. While dressing Resident #25, I saw the open area to her right hand and a red mark that
resembled the material from the shower chair on her right shoulder. After leaving the shower room, STNA
#199 was telling everyone about how she was going to hit Resident #25. Shortly afterwards during nail
care, STNA #199 acted as if nothing happened.
Review of Statement of Witness document dated 06/14/23 created by STNA #199 revealed, We took
Resident #25 to the shower. When in the shower room, she began to yell about wanting ice, we told her we
could get her ice after her shower since we were taking her to bed afterward anyway. As well were
undressing Resident #25, she began to insist on brushing her hair, she puts the brush back on her chair, I
go to move the brush so that we can get her up into the shower chair. Resident #25 grabs the brush and
attempts to hit me with it, she wanted it to stay on the chair arm. I managed to get the brush from her and
then she calms down. Then as we begin to shower her again she mentions she wants nail care and we tell
her we did not have the stuff to do it in the room but that we would find it after we are done in the shower
room. She continues to obsess over nail care (repeatedly asking), we told her again we could not do it in
that moment, she began to swing her arms and attempt to hit, she starts grabbing my clothes and hitting at
the other aide in the room, at that time, she was wet and covered in soap, we were trying to calm her down.
When starting peri care, resident was digging in between her legs, I asked her to mover her hand so that I
can clean her. I go to use a rag to wipe her, I mention to her that her nails will cause more
infections/irritation to her areas and I needed to wash it, she again asks for nail care and gets aggressive
again when we tell her we could not do it in that moment. After shower was over we push the chair up to the
rail for her to stand for transfer and she began to get aggressive again and swats at my face, I raise my arm
to guard myself and the other aide was also trying to put her arm out to guard her from

hitting. Resident #25 grabs the aids arm tightly and would not let go. I tell her we cannot help her if she is
going to hit and scratch us. We finally get her calm and she is safely transferred and dressed. After leaving
the shower room, I did nail care for her and she was calm. We then took her to her room and helped her to
bed. Resident #25 had multiple outburst in the shower room any time she was told we couldn't do
something or asked her to wait for us to do a certain task. She hit, scratched, grabbed, and yelled the entire
time, but after she was out of the shower room, she calmed down.
Review of the Statement of Witness document created by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #145 revealed
that approximately 10:00 P.M. on 06/14/23, I was seated at the nurses station charting when STNA #199
came out of the shower room with Resident #25 and approached the nursing station saying that Resident
#25 was hitting her in the shower room. STNA #199 stated that she drew her fist back at her (while
demonstrating what she did) and stated that she told Resident #25 If you hit me one more time, I'm going to
fuck you up. I did not physically see her harming resident nor did I hear her say anything to the resident.
This is what STNA #199 stated to me, LPN #77, STNA #133, and STNA #5 following Resident #25's
shower.
Review of the Statement of Witness document dated 06/14/23 at 10:00 P.M. created by LPN #77 revealed, I
was sitting at the nurses station when STNA #199 came up yelling in a loud voice saying If Resident #25
tries to hit me one more time, I told her I would fuck her up. She also said she drew her fist back at her in
the shower room. I did not visually see anything done or said to Resident #25, but this was what I
witnessed from STNA #199.
Review of the Statement of Witness document dated 06/14/23 created by STNA #133 revealed, STNA
#199 was talking about when she was showering Resident #25 that she said If you hit me one more time,
I'm going to fuck you up and stated that she pulled her fist back.
Review of the Statement of Witness document dated 06/14/23 created by STNA #5 revealed, I was up at
the nurses station when STNA #199 came out of the shower room with Resident #25 and stated she told
resident If you hit me one more time, I'm going to fuck you up, and she said she pulled her fist back.
Review of the personnel file for STNA #199 revealed a hire date of 04/15/21 and the last day worked was
06/14/23. STNA #199 was noted to have received education including Caring for Residents with Dementia
on 04/26/21. All required background and abuse checks had been completed with no noted concerns.
Interview on 06/29/23 at 1:30 P.M. with the Director of Nursing confirmed the noted incident between STNA
#199 and Resident #25 had occurred and was investigated immediately upon being reported. STNA #199
was suspended pending investigation and was later terminated from the facility. STNA #199 was reported
to the appropriate agency regarding suspected abuse. Resident #25 was assess and noted to have a
scratch to the right hand on the 3rd digit and 5th digit. Review of the incident revealed STNA #199 had
grabbed onto Resident #199's left hand and not the right hand so it was difficult to determine what the
cause was for the injury to the right hand. Continue monitoring of Resident #25 revealed no concerns or
issues regarding the incident.
Review of facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation, dated 10/24/22 revealed Verbal Abuse
means the use of oral, written, or gestured communication or sounds that willfully includes disparaging and
derogatory terms to resident or their families, or within their hearing distance regardless of their age, ability
to comprehend, or disability. Physical Abuse includes, but not limited to

Wednesday and Saturday on the day shift. He was documented as last receiving a shower on 06/24/23.
There was nothing under the task tab for the aides to document if nail care had been provided.
On 06/26/23 at 10:04 A.M., an observation of Resident #52 noted him to be lying in bed in a supine
position. His fingernails on both hands were long and in need of being trimmed. Some of the nails had a
dark colored substance under the nails. An interview with the resident, at the time of the observation,
revealed he would like to have his nails trimmed and needed the staff's assistance to do so. Subsequent
observations on 06/27/23 at 8:45 A.M. and 06/28/23 at 8:35 A.M. noted his fingernails to remain long and in
need of being trimmed.
On 06/28/23 at 11:38 A.M., an interview with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #155 revealed
Resident #52 required some assist with his adl's but did a lot for himself. They provided him with set up help
for his showers. The resident was compliant with showers and had already been showered that day. He was
asked what care was provided as part of the resident's bathing activity and indicated it included nail care.
He was then asked if he had checked the resident's nails that morning and indicated he did. He did not feel
they needed to be trimmed when he looked at them. He was asked to check the resident's fingernails and
accompanied the surveyor back to the resident's room. The resident was walking out of his room to go to
the dining room for lunch. STNA #155 checked his fingernails and confirmed they were long and in need of
being trimmed. He asked the resident if he wanted them

Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 06/29/23 at 8:51 A.M. verified there had not been routine
maintenance or inspections of the facility shower gurneys prior to the fall experienced by Resident #43. The
DON also verified the facility did not have a manual or policy for the shower gurney providing instructions
on how to use, clean, or maintain the gurney in good, working condition.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the online guidance from Healthline Medical Products titled Recommendations from the
manufacturer
(https://www.healthlinemedical.com/instructions/healthline-medical-shower-gurney-maintenance/), not
dated, revealed recommendations regarding gurney maintenance and use procedure revealed drop rails
were not designed to hang on them and all joints of the shower gurney should be checked on a regular
basis to make sure the pipes and fittings were secured.
3. Review of Resident #48's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident #48 had diagnoses including alcohol-induced persisting dementia, seizure disorder, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis, repeated falls, difficulty walking, unsteadiness on his feet and
muscle weakness.
Review of Resident #48's fall risk assessment completed on 12/20/22 revealed the resident was not
indicated to have had any falls occurring in the previous 90 days. He was ambulatory with the use of
assistive devices. He had diagnoses and the use of certain medications that increased his risk for falls. His
overall score was nine, which did not indicate the need for any fall prevention interventions at that time.
A review of Resident #48's nurses' progress notes revealed the resident had an unwitnessed fall on
01/04/23 at 7:45 P.M. The note indicated the resident was previously seen sitting in his wheelchair in the
dining room watching a movie. Another resident had come to the nurses' station and informed the nurse
that the resident had fallen. The nurse noted the resident was already back in his wheelchair when she was
made known of the fall. She asked the resident if he had fallen and he reported to the nurse that he had. He
was unable to provide any further description of the fall.
A review of the facility's fall investigation for the fall occurring on 01/04/23 revealed the immediate action
taken to prevent further falls from occurring included the use of Dycem to his wheelchair.
Review of Resident #48's quarterly/significant change evaluation dated 05/03/23 revealed the resident's
risk for elopement was assessed as part of the quarterly evaluation under the cognitive/ communication
assessment of that evaluation. The resident's risk factors for elopement included being cognitively impaired,
having the diagnosis of dementia, being able to ambulate independently with the use of a wheelchair, and
being known to wander aimlessly. He was not known to have a history of eloping when at home, leaving the
facility unsupervised, or leaving the facility without informing the facility staff. As a result of that assessment,
he was not deemed to be at risk for elopement at that time.
A review of a nurse's note dated 05/15/23 at 5:00 P.M. revealed the resident had a witnessed fall on that
date. The note indicated the resident was in the dining room when staff witnessed the resident had slid out
of his wheelchair onto his buttocks on the floor. The resident reported that he had slid out of his wheelchair.
The intervention added was again to use Dycem to his wheelchair that had been previously ordered with
his fall occurring on 01/04/23.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident #48's physician's orders revealed an order, dated 05/15/23 for the use of Dycem to his
wheelchair at all times.
Review of Resident #48's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident rarely/ never made himself understood and was rarely/ never able to understand others. He had
both short- and long-term memory impairment and his cognitive skills for daily decision making was
severely impaired. He was not coded on the MDS as having had any behaviors during the seven-day
assessment period and was not known to reject care or display any wandering behavior. He required a
limited assist of one for transfers. He required supervision with set up help for ambulation in his room.
Ambulation in hall only occurred once or twice, but he only required set up help for that when it did occur.
He required supervision with the assist of one for locomotion on and off the unit. Balance issues were noted
but he was able to stabilize without staff assistance. A wheelchair was the only mobility device used. The
resident was identified as having had falls since his prior assessment. He had two or more falls without
injury, one fall with injury that was not major injury, and one fall with major injury.
A review of Resident #48's active care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being at risk for falls
related to dementia, weakness, unsteadiness on feet, difficulty walking, lack of coordination, and a history
of falls. The care plan originated on 12/20/17 and was last revised on 06/14/23. The goals were to reduce
the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall and for the resident to be free of falls. The interventions
included ensuring his call light was within reach and to encourage the resident to use it for assistance as
needed. That intervention was added to the care plan on 12/20/17. The interventions also included the use
of Dycem (a tacky pad that could be placed on a seat of a chair to prevent sliding) to his wheelchair. That
intervention was added on 01/05/23. The care plan directed them to review information on past falls and
attempt to determine the cause of falls. They were to record the possible root causes and to remove any
potential causes if possible. The care plan was revised to include the intervention of educating staff to
ensure proper placement of Dycem on 05/18/23.
On 06/26/23 at 12:47 P.M., an observation of Resident #48 noted him to be lying in bed. His call light was
on the floor under his bed and out of his reach. Further observation of Resident #48 on 06/27/23 at 10:29
A.M., noted him to be lying in bed with his call light still on the floor under his bed and out of reach. Findings
were verified by LPN #135.
On 06/27/23 at 10:48 A.M., an interview with LPN #135 revealed Resident #48 was at risk for falls. They
typically laid him down after meals and one of the aides would have helped him to bed after breakfast. She
reported his fall prevention interventions included ensuring his call light was in reach. She confirmed the
resident did not have his call light in reach, as it was found under his bed on the floor. She retrieved it from
the floor and secured it to the assist bar that was on the right side of his bed near his head.
On 06/27/23 at 3:10 P.M., an interview with the DON confirmed Resident #48 has had multiple falls while in
the facility. She confirmed the use of Dycem was added as a fall prevention intervention following the fall the
resident had on 01/04/23. She also confirmed they provided education to staff to ensure the Dycem was in
place in his wheelchair, after he fell again on 05/15/23. She acknowledged the fall on 05/15/23 could not be
considered an unavoidable fall due to previously ordered fall

prevention interventions not being in place that contributed to his fall. She also acknowledged the fall
prevention intervention to ensure his call light was in reach was not implemented as per the plan of care
when observations noted it to be under his bed and out of reach on 06/26/23 and again on 06/27/23.
In addition, a review of Resident #48's active care plans that were reviewed/revised on 06/14/23 revealed
he did not have any care plan in place for being at risk for elopement or for unsafe wandering.
Further review of Resident #48's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 06/25/23 at 3:00
P.M. that indicated a door alarm was alarming. The alarm announced was identifying the alarm as coming
from the courtyard door on the second floor. The nurse and an aide tried multiple times to silence the
courtyard door but was unsuccessful in doing so. The aide informed another staff nurse working that floor
who also tried multiple times to silence the alarm without success. A maintenance employee was called to
report the problems they were having with an alarm sounding that could not be silenced. While awaiting a
return phone call, the aide went to check other residents and found the short hall exit door to be the one
alarming. She entered the code to that alarm and was able to get the alarm to stop alarming. The staff then
started checking on the residents and found Resident #48 to be missing. A facility search was started, and
the resident was found outside in his wheelchair by the dumpsters by one of the nurses working on the
second floor and the aide assigned that unit. The resident was found alert and his skin was warm and dry.
He was not found with any injuries and was not noted to be in any distress. Staff assisted him back into the
facility and into bed without incident.
A review of a nurse's note dated 06/25/23 at 3:30 P.M. revealed the facility's DON was notified of the door
alarm situation and the resident exciting building. A new order for the use of a Wander guard alarm was
given as well and placing the resident on 15-minute checks until further notice.
A review of the facility's investigation for Resident #48's elopement on 06/25/23 revealed the incident
description of the event was consistent with what was documented in the progress notes. The resident was
not able to provide a description of the event. Predisposing physiological factors of the incident included
him being confused and impaired memory. Predisposing situation factors included him being a wanderer.
Two staff members (LPN #89 and STNA #25) were identified as being witnesses to the incident and
provided statements. LPN #89's statement indicated the resident was found in the parking lot by the
dumpster after exiting the back hallway door. STNA #25's statement indicated the resident was found

the DON was notified on 06/25/23 at 3:30 P.M.
On 06/27/23 at 3:35 P.M., an interview with Maintenance Assistant #157 revealed he was the maintenance
employee called by the facility staff when Resident #48 eloped from the facility on 06/25/23. He reported
they informed him they had a door alarm going off that they could not get silenced. He recalled the concern
was with an alarm on the second-floor courtyard door. He came into the facility to check it out. By the time
he arrived, the alarm was already silenced. He was informed the alarm that was going off was from the
other door at the end of the hall and not the courtyard door as was being announced overhead. He
indicated the courtyard door and the short hall exit door had the same code announcement and the
overhead message would refer to them both as the courtyard door, even if it was the one at the end of the
hall. He was informed a resident had gotten out when he arrived and was found at the bottom of the ramp
by the facility's dumpsters. He confirmed by checking his phone that he received the call at 3:12 P.M. and
he was in the facility by 3:30 P.M. in which the resident

Level of Harm - Actual harm
On 06/27/23 at 406 P.M., an interview with the DON revealed she was called about the elopement by
Resident #48 on 06/25/23 at 3:28 P.M. The staff informed her of what had happened. It was reported to her
that the nurse and the aides were in other residents' rooms. They then heard an alarm go off for the
courtyard door. The overhead announcement indicated it was the courtyard door. The staff told her they
looked outside but did not see any residents out there. They could not get the alarm to silence and called
maintenance to come in to check it out. The staff realized the courtyard door was not flashing and it was the
exit door at the end of the short hall that was flashing instead. They checked the residents and found
Resident #48 to be missing. They went outside and found the resident at the end of the ramp near the
dumpsters.
Residents Affected - Few
On 06/27/23 at 4:10 P.M., an observation of the courtyard door on the 2nd floor revealed it led to the
facility's designated smoking area. The alarm system on the courtyard door allowed the door to be
immediately opened by turning the doorknob but would sound an audible alarm if the door was opened
without entering the code into a keypad. The keypad alarm box on the wall would flash red if that was the
door alarming in addition to an overhead announcement that identified the courtyard door as the door
alarm that had been activated. The short hall exit door was checked and noted to have a delayed egress of
15 seconds before that door could be opened. A constant audible alarm sounded when the door's bar was
pushed on until the door opened and then a different sounding alarm would go off accompanied by an
overhead announcement. The courtyard door and the exit door at the end of the short hall both led to the
same ramp that led down to the facility's side parking lot where the dumpsters were. The ramp was made of
decking material and had a long, gentle slope with handrails on both sides. The side parking lot had a black
tar pavement with a raised curb that enclosed it on the back end and the side. It led to the front parking lot
where a steep driveway went down into the road the facility sat on.
On 06/27/23 at 4:13 P.M., further interview with the DON revealed the alarm company had told them they
could not program the alarm system to differentiate between the courtyard door and the short hall exit door,
due to their proximity to one another. She indicated, when she was called, Resident #48 had already been
found and brought back into the facility. She suspected he was not out there very long between the time the
alarm sounded and when he was found.
On 06/28/23 at 8:51 A.M., an interview with LPN #89 revealed she was one of the two nurses working on
the second floor on 06/25/23 when Resident #48 eloped. She was the nurse assigned the long hall and not
the short hall where the resident resided. She stated the overhead message indicated the courtyard door
was alarming and they could not get it to stop. She confirmed the called maintenance to come in to check
the alarm out and did not realize it was another door other than the courtyard door that was going off.
STNA #25 noticed the keypad at the end of the short hall exit door did not look right. She punched in the
code and the door alarm silenced. They realized at that point that someone could have gone through that
door and not the courtyard as was originally thought. She and the aide went out into the courtyard when the
door alarm first went off and did not see any residents out there. She was not sure if they exit door at the
end of the short hall was sounding for the full 15 seconds, when the door was pushed on and before it
released. She was down the long hall at the time and did not hear it alarming until the announcement was
made overhead for the courtyard door. She was not sure where the nurse or the aide that was working the
short hall was at that time or if they heard the short hall exit door alarm before being opened. They did a
head count when they realized the exit door at the end of the short hall was the one sounding and noticed
Resident #48 was missing. She and the aide went outside to look for the resident and he was noted to
come out from behind the

Interview on 06/28/23 02:48 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed when the nurses complete
their charting, they try to keep the behaviors charting the same as what the STNA chart on and they are
limited on how many target behaviors they can put in the chart for the nurses to chart on each shift. Due to
this, there is not a specific behavior to monitor related to being non-compliant with her fluid restriction. The
DON claimed that Resident #38 will get her own fluids and her roommate will also give her cans of soda to
drink almost daily. The DON claimed that dietary told her that even today the resident requested a extra
bowl of chicken broth even though she was on a fluid restriction. The DON confirmed Resident #38's lacked
documentation indicating the resident was non-complaint with the physician ordered fluid restriction and
had been having a noted weigh gain.
Residents Affected - Few

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the facility's infection control logs, record review, staff interview, and policy review, the
facility failed to ensure they maintained an effective infection control program that adequately identified
organisms causing infections within the facility and properly track those infections to identify any trends or
patterns. This had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility. The facility's census was 80.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
A review of the facility's infection control logs for the past 12 months revealed the facility's infection
preventionist was utilizing a floor plan to identify where infections were noted throughout the facility for each
month. She had a floor plan for the second floor and a floor plan for the third floor. The floor plan was color
coded to show the locations of the rooms in which different types of infections occurred. One color was
used to signify each type of the following infections: urine, respiratory, skin, and other. The floor plan did not
indicate what organisms were present for the different types of infections identified. There were also
infection line listing reports and antibiotic usage reports for each month reviewed. The antibiotic usage
report included the resident's name, infection category (soft tissue, respiratory, UTI, or other), antibiotic
ordered to include dose/ route, start date, stop date, and a place to document the organism involved. The
antibiotic usage report did not have any organisms identified with any of the 13 entries made to include the
infection categories that should have an organism easily identifiable such as with Urinary Tract Infections
(UTI's). The infection preventionist typed in null under the column for organism with all 13 entries made. The
infection line listing report included similar information as the antibiotic usage report and also failed to
identify any organisms identified with the infections recorded. Under the column for organism, the infection
preventionist entered no response for each of the 13 entries made to record resident infections.
On 06/29/23 at 1:35 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #91 revealed she was the facility's
infection preventionist. She confirmed the facility was not obtaining microbiology testing on a routine basis
to identify organisms causing infections within the facility. She stated their medical director did not like
ordering laboratory testing when treating residents for infections. She stated it was rare that the physician
would order a urinalysis before treating a resident for a UTI based solely on symptoms and when he did he
usually did not order a culture and sensitivity along with it. She acknowledged, without obtaining cultures
when able, they were not identifying the organisms present that were causing the infections they were
recording on their infection control logs. Without identifying the organism, they were not able to determine if
there were any trends or patterns occurring in the facility involving any specific type of infection. She
reported some of the residents were ordered antibiotics for wound infections when they were sent out for an
appointment with the wound clinic or surgeon. Cultures were reported as having been obtained at those
appointments but they had difficulty getting those culture results, even when requested, to be able to see
what organism was causing the infection.
A review of the facility's Infection Surveillance policy revised 10/24/22 revealed it was the facility's policy to
develop a system of infection surveillance that served as a core activity of the facility's infection prevention
and control program. Its purpose was to identify infections, monitor adherence to recommended infection
prevention and control practices in order to reduce infections and prevent the spread of infections. Infection
surveillance was defined as an ongoing systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of
infection-related data. The infection

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the facility's infection control log, infection reports, record review, review of the McGeer's criteria,
staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to maintain and implement an effective antibiotic
stewardship program to ensure residents only received antibiotics when warranted and antibiotics
prescribed were appropriate for the infections being treated. This affected four (Resident #33, #75, #77, and
#235) of five residents reviewed for infections. The facility census was 80.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. A review of Resident #33's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included adult onset diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease.
A review of Resident #33's physician's orders revealed she had an order in place to cleanse a wound to the
left sole of her foot, pat dry, apply Betadine to the wound bed, and cover with a foam dressing daily. The
treatment was ordered on 05/04/23.
A review of Resident #33's skin and wound assessments revealed she had what was classified as a
surgical wound to her left plantar foot. The wound progress was indicated to be stable and she was followed
by wound care.
A review of Resident #33's progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 06/25/23 at 9:28 A.M. that
indicated documents were received from the resident's appointment she had with the podiatrist on
06/23/23. The podiatrist recommended Doxycycline 100 milligrams (mg) for 3 weeks. The recommendation
was reported to her primary care physician at the facility and he ordered Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day
(BID) for three weeks.
A review of Resident #33's consultation reports revealed she was sent out for a podiatry appointment on
06/23/23 as indicated in her nurse's progress note dated 06/25/23. The consultation report revealed the
resident had increased redness of an unspecified area and it was recommended that she take Doxycycline
100 milligrams for three weeks. No other documentation was provided on the consultation report.
A review of Resident #33's infection report dated 06/26/23 revealed someone had transcribed a 3 over the
6 for the day that was originally specified in the date of that report. The infection report indicated it
pertained to a wound to the left foot per the podiatrist. Under skin, there was no indication of the resident
having any symptoms to include heat, swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or odor. The bottom of the infection
report included a section for infection management and specified the antibiotic ordered as Doxycycline 100
mg BID for three weeks. The treatment was to be initiated on 06/26/23 and continued through 07/17/23.
Additional comments indicated the physician was aware and wanted to continue the antibiotic.
On 06/29/23 at 1:35 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #91 revealed she had been the facility's
infection preventionist since August 2022. She reported the facility followed the McGeer's criteria to ensure
residents met the criteria for treating infections. She indicated Resident #33 was started on Doxycycline as
recommended by the podiatrist when she went out for her appointment on 06/23/23. She stated the
physician agreed with the treatment and wanted the antibiotic continued despite her not meeting criteria for
the treatment of cellulitis or soft tissue wounds.

2. A review of Resident #75's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included dementia, neurocognitive disorder with Lewy Bodies, and a need for assistance with
personal care.
A review of the facility's antibiotic usage report for May 2023 revealed she was ordered to receive Bactrim
DS 800 -160 mg from 05/10/23 through 05/17/23 for the treatment of a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). There
was no organism recorded on the report to show what pathogen was causing her UTI.
A review of an infection report for Resident #75 revealed the date symptoms were noticed was on 05/08/23.
Symptoms included increased frequency/ urgency, dysuria, strong urine odor, and cloudy sediment in her
urine. Under other comments, a urinalysis was indicated to have been obtained on 05/08/23 and results
were obtained on 05/09/23. Under infection identification process, it was specified she had symptoms only.
There was no indication a culture was done and organism was not identified. The section for infection
management revealed Bactrim DS 800/ 160 mg was ordered BID for one week.
A review of Resident #75's urinalysis report revealed nitrites were negative and 2+ Leukocyte Esterase was
noted, which was abnormal. The urinalysis was not ordered to have a culture and sensitivity done with it so
the organism involved was not identified and it was not clear if the antibiotic ordered was sufficient to
properly treat her infection.
A review of the McGeer's criteria used by the facility revealed UTI's without a catheter must have both
criteria #1 and #2 met. In criteria #1, they must have at least one of the following, which included dysuria,
fever or leukocytosis, and other symptoms. Criteria #2 must have at least 100,000 colonies/ milliliter of no
more than two species of microorganisms in a voided urine sample or at least 100,000 colonies of any
number of organisms in a specimen collected by in and out catheterization.
On 06/29/23 at 1:35 P.M., an interview with RN #91 revealed their medical director did not usually order
urinalysis to be completed when he suspected a resident had a UTI. He typically went by symptoms and
just ordered the antibiotic he felt would be adequate to treat the infection. She stated even when a
urinalysis was ordered he rarely ordered a culture and sensitivity to be done along with it. She
acknowledged Resident #75 would not have met criteria for treatment of a UTI based on symptoms alone
with out a urinalysis and culture being done to identify the presence of greater than 100,000 colonies of a
microorganism being present in the urine sample.
3. A review of Resident #77's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included a history of a stroke with hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting his right dominant side,
aphasia, difficulty walking, and need for assistance with personal care.
A review of Resident #77's infection report revealed he had a symptom onset date of 06/13/23. The
symptom section on the report indicated that he was having increased frequency/ urgency, pain, and
hematuria. The section for the infection identification process revealed he had symptoms only. There was no
indication a urine specimen had been obtained for a culture and no organisms were identified. The section
for infection management revealed he was started on Bactrim DS BID for three days. Additional comments
added revealed they were to continue the antibiotic per the resident's attending physician.
A review of a urinalysis report for a urine specimen collected on 06/09/23 revealed his urine was positive for
nitrites and Leukocyte Esterase. It was the final report and there was no indication that a culture was done
to identify the organism involved or a sensitivity report to confirm whatever

organism was present, it was susceptible to the antibiotic ordered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 06/29/23 at 1:35 P.M., an interview with RN #91 confirmed there was not a culture and sensitivity (C&S)
done as part of Resident #77's urinalysis. She acknowledged, without a C&S, it was not clear what
organism was causing the resident's UTI or if the antibiotic ordered was effective in treating that infection.
Residents Affected - Some
4. A review of Resident #235's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included a complete traumatic amputation of the left great toe, peripheral vascular disease, and
atherosclerosis of a native artery of an unspecified extremity with gangrene.
A review of the facility's infection control log for May 2023 revealed he was known to have a soft tissue skin
infection with a date of onset as 05/30/23. He was started on both Levofloxacin and Doxycycline. The
infection control log did not identify what organism was present that was causing the infection.
A review of Resident #235's infection report revealed he had a date of onset as 05/30/23. Symptoms
identified under skin included heat, swelling, and redness at the left great toe amputation incision site.
Under the section for infection identification process, a specimen was indicated to have been collected for a
culture on 05/30/23 at the podiatrist's office. There was no indication of what organism, if any, had been
identified as a result of the culture obtained. The section for infection management indicated antibiotics
were ordered by mouth that included Levofloxacin and Doxycycline. Additional comments indicated the
antibiotics were to be continued per the attending physician.
On 06/29/23 at 1:35 P.M., an interview with RN #91 revealed she did not receive a copy of the wound
culture that had been obtained at the podiatrist's office as the infection report had indicated was collected
on 05/30/23. She stated she called the podiatrist's office and requested the wound culture report, but it was
never sent. She stated it was not uncommon for a wound culture to be done at another physician's office or
the wound clinic that they could not get a hold of the results. She did not have access to the labs from the
local hospital and was dependent on the physician's offices to send them to her. She acknowledged without
those C&S reports she could not be certain the antibiotics ordered were effective in treating the organisms
causing the infections.
A review of the facility's Antibiotic Stewardship Program policy revised 10/24/22 revealed it was the policy of
the facility to implement an antibiotic stewardship program as part of the facility's overall infection
prevention and control program. The purpose of the program was to optimize the treatment of infections
while reducing the adverse events associated with antibiotic use. The infection preventionist, with oversight
from the DON, served as the leader of the antibiotic stewardship program and received support from the
Administrator and other governing officials at the facility. The medical director and attending physicians
were to support the program via active participation in developing, promoting, and implementing a
facility-wide system for monitoring the use of antibiotics. The program included antibiotic use protocols and
a system to monitor antibiotic usage. Antibiotic use protocols included laboratory testing being completed in
accordance with current standards of practice. The facility was to use the McGeer's criteria to define
infections. Antibiotics orders obtained from consulting, specialty, or emergency providers shall be reviewed
for appropriateness.
