F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, staff interviews, and record review, the facility failed to accurately assess a resident's pain. This affected one (#4) of one resident reviewed for pain management. The facility identified 20 residents on a pain management program. The facility census was 37. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Record review for Resident #4 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including primary generalized arthritis, pain, and dementia with behavioral disturbance.

Interventions included to administer routine and as needed pain medications as ordered, anticipate the need for pain relief and respond immediately to any complaint of pain, and assess pain level on a scale of one to 10 (with one being the least and ten being the severest pain), face scale, or non-verbal indicators. Review of the active physicians order, dated 10/10/17, revealed an order to monitor the residents pain level on a scale of zero to 10 every shift. Review of the Medication Administration Records (MAR) for 09/2021, 10/2021, and 11/2021 revealed staff were monitoring the pain level of Resident #4 using a verbal pain scale. Observation on 11/08/21 at 9:25 A.M. revealed the left hand of Resident #4 was observed to be contracted. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #333 raised up the left, contracted hand of Resident #4 to observe it and the resident was observed to retreat back into her chair and grimaced when the left hand was handled.

Interview with STNA #333 on 11/08/21 at 9:28 A.M. verified Resident #4 was observed to exhibit signs of pain when the resident's left hand was handled. There was no evidence in Resident #4's medical record there was a timely follow up assessment after Resident #4 exhibited signs of pain on 11/08/21. Observation on 11/09/21 at 10:15 A.M. revealed when Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #352 began cleaning the left, contracted hand of Resident #4 with a warm, wet washcloth, the resident was observed to retreat back into her wheelchair and exhibit facial grimacing. LPN #352 immediately ceased cleaning the left hand of Resident #4 when indicators of pain were exhibited. Interview with Resident #4 on 11/09/21 at 10:18 A.M. revealed the resident was unable to verbalize the level of pain experienced when her left hand was cleansed using a verbal descriptor scale due to impaired cognition.

Based on observations, interviews, review of the facility's policy, and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain a clean, sanitary kitchen equipment and failed to label and date open food items. This had the potential to affect the 37 residents residing in the facility who all received meals from the kitchen. Findings include: Observation on 11/07/21 at 8:25 A.M. revealed the bottom shelf on the reach in freezer contained a large, thick layer of sticky substance and multiple pieces of unpackaged broccoli.

Interview with Dietary Personnel (DP) #316 on 11/07/21 at 8:26 A.M. verified there was a large,thick layer of sticky substance and multiple pieces of unpackaged broccoli located on the bottom shelf of the reach in freezer. DP #316 also verified there was an opened brown paper bag containing frozen tater tots which was not labeled with the date it was opened. Observation on 11/09/21 at 10:45 A.M. revealed the large, thick layer of sticky substance and multiple pieces of broccoli continued to remain on the bottom shelf of the reach in freezer. The opened brown bag containing tater tots and a zip-lock freezer bag containing cinnamon rolls were observed to be lying on top of the sticky substance on the bottom shelf of the reach in freezer and were not labeled with the date they were opened.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, staff interviews, review of the facility's policy, review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, and record reviews, the facility failed to appropriately wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and failed to perform appropriate hand hygiene during wound care for Resident #12 and medication administration for Resident #11. This had the potential to affect all 37 residents who resided in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #12's medical record revealed an original admission date of 08/24/21. Diagnoses included congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerotic heart disease, pneumonia, E. coli infection of gastrointestinal tract, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 08/13/21, revealed Resident #12 had clear speech, always understood others, always made himself understood and had no cognitive deficits. Review of the physician orders revealed the abdominal wound to be cleansed with normal saline and pat dry, and to apply skin prep to peri-wound area.

She did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene, and proceeded to apply hydrogel using a cotton tipped applicator, then covered the wound with an abdominal pad and secured it with tape. LPN #331 then proceeded to remove gloves, and perform hand hygiene. The old bandage and supplies were disposed of in the trash receptacle. Interview with LPN #331 and LPN #352 on 11/10/21 at 10:40 AM verified gloves were not changed and hand hygiene was not performed between cleansing the wound with normal saline and gauze and applying the new, clean dressing. 2.
