F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview the facility failed to effectively implement their Abuse policy and procedure for Resident #141 and Resident #142 related to the completion of thorough and complete investigations.

The resident alleged State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #210 was rough with her during care, yanking at her pants while pulling her pants up and digging her fingernails into her legs. RN #206 immediately reported the allegation, and STNA #210 was removed from the facility. Review of the facility's investigation of the SRI dated 02/06/19 revealed there were witness statements from the alleged perpetrator (STNA #210), RN #206, STNA #207, and STNA #208.

During an interview on 05/29/19 at 12:11 P.M., the administrator verified the facility obtained no other resident interviews during the investigation of Resident #141's allegation of abuse on 02/06/19. Review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment, and Misappropriation of Resident Property Policy, revised November 2016 revealed when an incident or suspected incident of abuse was reported, the administrator or designee would investigate the incident. The investigation would include who was involved, residents' statements, resident's roommate statement, involved staff and witness statement of events, a description of the resident's behavior and environment at the time of the incident, injuries present including a resident assessment, observation of resident and staff behaviors during the investigation, and environmental considerations. 2.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of manufacturer's recommendations and interview the facility failed to ensure expired medications and medications past the use by date were discarded. This affected one resident (Resident #21) of six residents with eye drops located in the [NAME] Unit medication cart and had the potential to affect all residents when stock medications located in the intravenous (IV) cart were found expired. The facility census was 43. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #21's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis including glaucoma. The resident had a physician order, dated 01/11/19 for Pilocarpine 4 percent (%) eye drops one drop both eyes four times daily, Timolol maleate 0.5% eye drops one drop two times daily, and Azopt 1% one drop both eyes three times daily. On 05/29/19 at 5:42 P.M., an observation of the [NAME] Unit medication cart was completed accompanied by Registered Nurse (RN) #220. Eye medications found inside the medication cart include: A 15 milliliter (ml) bottle of Pilocarpine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 4% belonging to Resident #21. The bottle was dated as opened on 01/24/19. A 10 ml bottle of Timolol maleate (Timoptic) 0.5% eye drops belonging to Resident #21. The bottle was dated as opened on 01/24/19. A 10 ml bottle of Azopt 1% ophthalmic suspension belonging to Resident #21. The bottle was dated as opened on 03/17/19. On 05/29/19 at 5:50 P.M., an interview with RN #220 confirmed the dates the eye drops were opened. Review of the manufacturer's prescribing information for Pilocarpine hydrochloride, Timolol maleate, and Azopt ophthalmic solution revealed no indication how long the eye drops were safe after opening. On 05/29/19 at 6:19 P.M., RN #220 was unable to provide any manufacturers' information to indicate how long the eye drops could be kept once opened. Center for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) guidance indicated eye drops in multi-dose packaging contain preservatives to ensure the sealed product remains sterile. After opening however, the preservative can only ensure the drops are safe for the eye for a period of 28 days. Beyond 28 days, using the drops may cause serious damage to the eye as bacteria may have been introduced. 2. On 05/29/19 at 5:52 P.M., an observation of the facility intravenous (IV) medication cart was completed accompanied by RN #220. The cart was located in the [NAME] Unit medication room.

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 observation, record review and interview the facility failed to maintain effective infection control practices during urinary catheter care to prevent the spread of infection. This affected one resident (Resident #146) of one resident reviewed for urinary catheters. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #146's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with indwelling urinary catheter. The resident had a physician order, dated 05/17/19 for the antibiotic, Cefdinir 300 milligrams every 12 hours for 10 days for treatment of a urinary tract infection. A physician order dated 05/17/19 indicated Resident #146 was to have urinary catheter care every shift. On 05/30/19 beginning at 1:22 P.M., an observation of urinary catheter care was completed. State tested nursing assistant (STNA) #212 applied gloves and assisted Resident #146 to transfer to the toilet. Using a soapy, wet washcloth, the STNA cleaned the urinary catheter bag tubing from where it connected to the catheter down toward the urine collection bag. She then rinsed and dried the tubing. STNA #212 emptied the urine from the bag into a graduated container then cleaned the outlet port of the bag with alcohol pads. At this point, the STNA left the room wearing the same gloves she used to clean the tubing and empty urine from the catheter bag. She returned to Resident #146's room a short time later still wearing gloves. Resident #146 was still on the toilet and had a bowel movement. The STNA prompted the resident to wipe himself then she cleaned his buttocks with pre-moistened wipes. STNA #212 using a soapy, wet washcloth provided urinary catheter care, cleaning around the insertion site at the end of the penis then the catheter from the insertion site outward. She then rinse and dried the area. With a clean soapy, wet washcloth, the STNA provided perineal care, cleaning the groin area then the buttocks. After completing perineal care, she assisted Resident #146 to transfer to his wheelchair. STNA #212 then pushed the wheelchair into the sitting area in his room and assisted the resident to transfer to his recliner. She repositioned his overbed table next to the resident then moved the call light on top of the bed. The STNA emptied and rinsed the graduated container holding the urine and placed the soiled towels and washcloths in a plastic bag. The STNA then removed the gloves and washed her hands. The only time STNA #212 was observed removing gloves and washing and/or cleansing hands was after she completed the entire procedure. During an interview on 05/30/19 at 1:47 P.M., STNA #212 indicated she changed her gloves after giving peri care and just now after completing care. She agreed she touched many things with the gloved hands. STNA #212 verified she did not wash or cleanse her hands between glove changes. Review of the facility Hand Washing Policy, revised May 2014 revealed handwashing with liquid soap and water must be performed after the following: three concurrent uses of hand sanitizer, contact with moist body fluids, after glove removal, and after touching infectious material.
