F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observations, staff interview, policy review and review of medication manufacturers information, the facility failed to store refrigerated narcotics securely in two observed medication rooms. The facility identified three medication storage rooms in the facility. This had the potential to affect any resident who received a new order for one of these medications. Additionally, the facility also failed to store resident injectable's accurately in one of three medication carts observed, the facility has a total of seven medication carts. This had the potential to affect 26 resident who receive injectable medications at the facility. The facility census was 81. Findings include: 1. Random observation of the medication storage room on D hall with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #76 on 03/26/19 it was revealed the controlled narcotics that are refrigerated are in a small box in a locked refrigerator in a locked room off the nurses station. The observation revealed the box is removed from the refrigerator to remove the medications. LPN #76 confirmed the narcotic storage box in the refrigerator is not permanently affixed. The narcotic storage refrigerator contained four morphine (opioid analgesic, schedule II medication) 20 milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml) bottles, and seven Ativan (antianxiety schedule IV medication) 2 mg/ml vials. During an observation of the medication room of A and B hallway medication room on 03/26/19 with LPN #85 it was confirmed the refrigerated narcotic emergency supply is not permanently affixed to the refrigerator. The refrigerator contained four vials of Ativan (2 mg/ml in the emergency supply box and one vial if Ativan 2 mg/ml for the B Hall). Review of the controlled substance policy 7.1.2 Storage of Controlled Substances dated 06/21/17 revealed: 5. All controlled medications must be maintained in separately-locked, permanently- affixed compartment. The key (or other access device) cannot be the same system used to obtain non scheduled medications. The facility assures a system is implemented to limit who as security access and when access is used. Schedule II medications must be stored under double lock. Review of the medication storage policy 4.1 general guidelines for medication storage dated 06/21/17 revealed medications and biologicals are stored safely, securely and properly following manufacturer's recommendations or those of the supplier. The medications supply is accessible only to licensed nursing personnel or staff members authorized to administer medications. Scheduled II medications and other drugs subject to abuse are stored in separate, permanently affixed area and are under double lock. Schedule III-IV medications may be stored along with non controlled drugs but may be under more strict storage controls at the facility's discretion or as required by state regulations. 2. During an observation of the B hallway medication cart with LPN #58 on 03/26/19 after morning medication pass it was revealed there was a Levemir insulin pen (multi-dose single patient insulin delivery system) with an open date of 03/23/19 but no resident name on the pen. LPN #58 confirmed the pen was not named, and and had insulin missing out of the pen indicating it had been used. LPN #58 verified she had resident on her hallway who use Levemir used in their plan of care, and all medications should have the name of the resident on them for who they are used for. The facility could not confirm who the Levemir insulin belonged to; however, confirmed it had the potential to affect 26 resident who receive injectable medications.

F 0880 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 Legionella Water Management Program policies and procedures, review of water monitoring, and staff interview, the facility failed to develop and implement a water management program which specified and monitored control measures to ensure the plan was effective in the destruction of Legionella bacteria. This had the potential to affect all 81 residents residing in the facility. Facility census was 81. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: The facility's Legionella water management program was reviewed with Maintenance Staff (MS) #73 on 03/28/19. Review of the plan revealed the facility was monitoring the chlorine level in facility water supply in select resident room, and water temperatures at the point of delivery within the facility. The monthly total chlorine and total free chlorine reading of the water in the facility was 0.0 on 02/14/19 and on 03/04/19, and when checked with MS #73 at 10:37 A.M. The chlorine level inspection sheet the facility was using did not specify what the desired/acceptable parameter for chlorine levels in the facility water supply were or what actions to take if they fell below an acceptable range. The water temperature monitoring log indicated the control limit for the water was 105 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 120 F, that water temperatures were tested weekly was maintained in this range. The water temperature log did not specify where the water temperatures were taken, i.e. at the hot water heater or the point of delivery. However, while the control limit for hot water was consistent with safety requirements at the point of delivery, it was not sufficient for the destruction of Legionella bacteria. MS #73 reviewed the facility's current water management plan and affirmed the facility water registered 0.0 ppm of chlorine, and that the goal was to maintain water temperatures in between 105 F and 120 F. MS #73 was then queried about the temperature of the water in the hot water heater, and a tour of the facility was taken at 03/28/19 at 11:17 A.M. to observe the hot water heaters. There was a temperature gauge on the C Hall hot water heater for the C Hall, central kitchen, and laundry, indicated the temperature of the water in the heater was 125 F. The remainder of the hot water heaters in the building supplying resident rooms in A, B, D, E, and F halls did hot have temperature gauges. MS #73 reported he did not monitor the temperature of the water in the water heaters, only at the point to delivery. The facility confirmed this had a potential to affect all 81 residents residing in the facility. Review of the Policy and Procedure titled Legionella specified the facility would identify control measures and monitoring such as water temperatures, sanitizer levels, and disinfectant levels. The procedure included measuring of water quality throughout the system to ensure that changes that may lead to Legionella growth (such as a drop in chlorine levels) are not occurring, and maintaining appropriate temperature levels for water heaters.
