Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on medical record review, emplyee time sheet review, employee disciplinary review and staff
interviews, the facility failed to ensure all resident records had accurate documentation. This affected one
(#45) of six residents reviewed for accurate medical records. The census was 44.
Finding include:
Review of the closed medical record for Resident #45 revealed an admission date of 08/17/23. Diagnosis
included bacterial endocarditis. Review of the physician orders revealed an order for Ampicillin-Sulbactam
Sodium (antibiotic) intravenous (IV) every six hours. Keep central line dressing intact.
Review of the Medication Administration Report for August 2023 revealed on 08/12/23
Ampicillin-Sulbactam Sodium doses given at 8:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M., were signed off by the
Former Director of Nursing (DON). Review of the Ampicillin-Sulbactam Sodium administration details
revealed on 08/12/23 at 8:00 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #313 had signed off the medications
and then it was strike out on 08/12/23 at 11:20 A.M. by LPN #313, reason declined order and then was
signed out at 8:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. by former DON at 5:25 P.M
Interview on 08/28/23 at 8:01 A.M., with former DON stated she was on vacation on 08/12/23 and was not
in the facility at all. She was notified by LPN #313 that Resident #45 needed his IV antibiotic and there was
no Registered Nurse (RN) in the facility. She was told that RN #374 was notified but was not able to come
in because the Administrator told her she was not allowed to. Former DON verified she got on the electronic
charting remotely and signed off three doses of Resident #45's IV antibiotic even though she did not
administer the medication.
Interview on 08/28/23 at 10:30 A.M., with LPN #313 verified she administered Resident #45's medication
Ampicillin-Sulbactam Sodium in a central line. She only remembers doing one dose. LPN #313 stated she
was not sure if she could administer IV medications in a central line. So, she did look it up, thought she
could under the supervision of an RN, but no RN was in the building at this time. No other LPN working was
IV certified. LPN #334 instructed LPN #313 to go ahead and administer since she was IV certified. LPN
#334 informed LPN #313 she had talked to RN #374, who was in charge. The former DON did not directly
tell LPN #313 to administer the medications. LPN #313 stated she signed the medication off for the one
time she gave it.
Interview on 08/28/23 at 4:00 P.M., with LPN #334 stated she was working on 08/12/23, on the day shift.
Resident #45 had an IV antibiotic that needed to be hung. There was no RN in the building and LPN #313
was IV certified, so we looked up if she was allowed to hang the IV antibiotic, so she hung the antibiotic and
signed it off. LPN #334 stated she called RN #374 to see if she was coming in to give Resident #45's
antibiotic, RN #374 stated she was not scheduled and did not know if she was allowed to come in.
Review of the timesheet for Former DON for 08/12/23 revealed she was not clocked in on 08/12/23. She
was not working.
Review of the undated policy Documentation in Medical Records, revealed false documentation should not
be documented.

Practical Nurse (LPN) #306 revealed RN #340 placed the trach kit on the table, washed his hands then
donned gloves. He opened the trach care kit and took out Resident #43's reusable unclean trach tube. RN
#340 then proceeded to clean the trach tube with the brush that was provided in the kit. RN #340 then took
off gloves, donned the gloves that were in the kit and proceeded to put the cleaned cannula in, and placed
a new split sponge around the trach. RN #340 did not need to suction Resident #43. RN #304 verified that
he did not perform hand hygiene before putting on the second pair of gloves and stated that it's not a sterile
procedure.
Review of the undated policy titled Hand Hygiene, revealed that if a task requires gloves, perform hand
hygiene prior to donning gloves.
