This surveyor continued observation. At 12:45 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the needle was lying on the floor and then retrieved it, without donning gloves, and walked approximately 20 feet to the location of the medication cart and placed the syringe into the sharps disposal container (rigid, puncture-resistant plastic or metal with leak-resistant sides and bottom, and a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid with an opening to accommodate depositing a sharp but not large enough for a hand to enter). Interview on 03/28/24 at 12:46 P.M. with LPN #320 revealed she was certain the insulin syringe was used to administer insulin to Resident #3.
