Resident #29 had requested to be assisted out of bed at approximately 9:45 A.M. this morning and had
requested a shower and no staff had followed up with the resident.
Interview on 07/03/24 at 11:56 A.M. with the Director of Health Services (DHS) confirmed if a resident
refused a shower, the refusal should be documented on a shower sheet, the aide should notify the nurse of
the refusal, and the nurse should also attempt to offer a shower to the resident. If the resident continued to
refuse, then both the aide and the nurse should sign the shower sheet that noted the refusal. The DHS
stated if a resident refused a shower or bed bath on a scheduled day, the staff should continue to offer on
the next shift as well as on another day and attempts should be documented in the medical record. The
DHS confirmed Resident #29 had not received showers as scheduled. The DHS also confirmed the shower
sheets that noted a refusal had not been signed by the aide or the nurse. The DHS also confirmed there
was no evidence in Resident #29's medical record of a history of refusing showers or bed baths nor
evidence of any additional attempts made with the resident to offer a shower or bed bath on various days or
shifts.
Review of the facility policy, Guidelines for Bathing Preference, dated 12/31/23, revealed the policy stated,
bathing should occur at least twice a week unless resident preference states otherwise.

significant medication errors. This affected two residents (#8, #19) of three residents reviewed for
medication errors. The facility census was 46.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Review of Resident #8 revealed Resident #8 was admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses including
Alzheimer's Disease, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and high blood pressure. Resident #8 required
extensive assistance from staff for activities of daily living (ADL) tasks including medication administration.

05/22/24. Resident #19 was hospitalized on [DATE] and did not return to the facility. Medical diagnoses
included vesicointestinal fistula, acute cystitis without hematuria, asthma, chronic kidney disease Stage III,
anxiety disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, personal history of urinary tract infections (UTI), and
personal history of malignant neoplasms of cervix and bladder.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #19
had intact cognition. The resident required assistance from staff to complete Activities of Daily Living
(ADLs) ranging from supervision to substantial assistance.
Review of the progress notes revealed on 06/06/24 at 7:04 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #202
mistakenly administered another resident's medications to Resident #19. LPN #202 immediately informed
Resident #19 of the error. LPN #202 also notified the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) and Director of
Health Services (DHS) of the medication error. LPN #202 assessed Resident #19 and found the resident in
stable condition with no new signs or symptoms.
Review of the written statement completed on 06/27/24 by Regional Nurse (RGN) #350 revealed Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #202 notified the Nurse Practitioner (NP) on 06/06/24 at 2:40 P.M. of a medication
error that had occurred for Resident #19. LPN #202 reported Resident #19 was administered another
resident's medications. Resident #19 was administered Tylenol 325 mg and Propafenone (a medication to
treat atrial fibrillation) 150 mg by mistake. The NP ordered labs which were completed and reviewed by the
NP without any new orders provided. LPN #202 reported Resident #19's blood pressure on 06/06/24 at
4:52 P.M. was 128/67 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and within normal limits.
Interview on 06/26/24 at 4:33 P.M. with LPN #202 confirmed she administered another resident's
medications to Resident #19 by mistake. The nurse stated she identified the error right away and notified
the resident and the NP. LPN #202 followed the NP's orders and continued to monitor Resident #19 with no
signs of any negative outcome noted.
Review of the Medication Administration General Guidelines policy dated 11/18 revealed medications are
administered as prescribed in accordance with good nursing principles and practices and only by persons
legally authorized to do so. Personnel authorized to administer medications do so only after they have been
properly oriented to the facility's medication distribution system (procurement, storage, handling and
administration). The facility has sufficient personnel and a medication distribution system to ensure safe
administration of medications without unnecessary interruptions. Medication preparation includes the five
rights of medication administration: Right resident, right drug, right dose, right route and right time, are
applied for each medication being administered. A triple check of these five rights is recommended at three
steps in the process of preparation of a medication for administration: 1. when the medication is selected, 2.
when the dose is removed from the container, and finally 3. just after the dose is prepared and the
medication put away. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the prescriber.
Residents are identified before medication is administered. Methods of identification include:
checking a photograph attached to the medical record; calling resident by name (except in residents with
cognitive impairment); having the resident verify his/her last name; if necessary, verifying resident
identification with other facility personnel.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00154766 and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, medical record review, interview, and review of the manufacture guidelines the
facility failed to ensure the glucometer was properly disinfected after use. This affected one resident
(Resident #4) of five residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 46.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #4's medical record revealed an admission date of 11/16/20 with diagnoses including
type two diabetes mellitus, unspecified dementia, and anxiety. Resident #4 required assistance from staff to
complete activities of daily living (ADL) tasks including obtaining blood glucose readings and medication
administration.
Review of Resident #4's physician orders dated 04/15/24 revealed an order to obtain blood glucose
readings before meals and at bedtime.
Observation on 06/27/24 at 7:45 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 was completing
morning medication administration for Resident #4. LPN #200 removed the glucometer from a drawer in the
medication cart and placed it on the top of the medication cart (the glucometer was stored loosely in the
drawer with blood glucose monitoring supplies including alcohol pads, glucometer testing strips and
lancets). LPN #200 then gathered the supplies needed to obtain Resident #4's blood glucose (sugar)
reading (a lancet to pierce the residents finger, a test strip and alcohol pad) and entered the resident's
room. LPN #200 placed the supplies, including the glucometer, on Resident #4's bedside table without a
barrier between the glucometer and the resident's bedside table. LPN #200 donned gloves and obtained
the blood sample by piercing the resident's finger with the lancet and placing a sample of blood on the test
strip that was inserted into the glucometer. LPN #200 exited the room and placed the glucometer directly on
the top of the medication cart without a barrier between the glucometer and the medication cart. LPN #200
removed the test strip from the glucometer and disposed of the test strip in the sharp's container and then
doffed their gloves. LPN #200 unlocked the medication cart and placed the glucometer back into the drawer
of the medication cart without cleaning or sanitizing the glucometer following the use for Resident #4.
Interview and observation on 06/27/24 at 8:05 A.M. with LPN #200 confirmed the glucometer was not
disinfected prior to or following use for Resident #4. LPN #200 stated the glucometer should have been
cleaned prior to and following the use of the glucometer. During the interview with LPN #200, the LPN was
observed to remove the glucometer from the drawer of the medication cart and obtain an alcohol pad,
opened the alcohol pad, and without donning gloves, began to partially wipe the glucometer with the
alcohol pad. LPN #200 then placed the glucometer back into the drawer of the medication cart and
disposed of the alcohol pad in the trash can on the medication cart. After completion, LPN #200 confirmed
the glucometer had been partially wiped with an alcohol pad instead of the approved disinfecting wipes and
the LPN verified gloves were not worn during the procedure.
Review of the manufacturer guidelines for Assure Prism multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System dated
12/17 revealed, Guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting the Assure Prism multi: Always wear appropriate
protective gear, including disposable gloves; open disinfectant package; Wipe the entire surface of the
meter using the disinfectant wipe at least three times vertically and three times horizontally to clean blood
and other body fluids from the meter.; Dispose the disinfectant wipe; Allow the exterior to remain wet for
one minute, then wipe the meter dry using a dry cloth.
