Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was
determined that facility failed to determine if a resident was safe to self-administer medications for one of
138 residents reviewed (Resident 69).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's self administration of medication policy, dated January 16, 2024, indicated that
self-administration was permitted when the interdisciplinary team has determined that it was clinically
appropriate and safe for the resident to do so.
An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident 69, dated July 12, 2024, indicated that the resident was
cognitively intact, required assistance for daily care needs, and had diagnoses that included stroke, anxiety,
depression, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated October 19, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 25
milligrams (mg) of metoprolol twice a day for hypertension, and to receive 20 mg of omeprazole twice a day
for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD - heartburn). Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated March 14, 2024,
included an order for the resident to receive 81 mg of aspirin one time a day for cerebral infarction (stroke)
and atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), and 10 milliequivalent (meq) of potassium chloride once a day for
supplement. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated May 3, 2024, included an order for the resident to
receive 75 mg of Pradaxa twice a day for atrial fibrillation. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated May 8,
2024, included an order for the resident to receive 225 mg of venlafaxine once a day for depressive mood
disorder. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated October 15, 2024, included an order for the resident to
receive 5 mg of buspirone three times a day for anxiety. Physician's orders for Resident 69, dated October
19, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 1 mg of bumetanide twice a day for edema
(swelling).
Observation of Resident 69 on October 21, 2024, at 11:33 a.m. revealed that the resident was sitting in a
wheelchair with her lunch tray in front of her on the over-bed stand. An unsupervised medicine cup with 11
unlabeled pills in it was sitting on the over-bed table. An interview with Resident 69 at that time revealed
that she did not know the pills were on her table and that she forgot to take them.
An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1 on October 21, 2024, at 11:43 a.m. revealed that she did
leave medication in Resident 69's room because she thought she was still in bed and was going to take
them when she sat up. She did not stay in the room to observe the resident take the medication. Licensed
Practical Nurse 1 then offered to remove the medication, but the resident said she was going to take them.
Licensed Practical Nurse 1 left the room and Resident 69 took her medication.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to document the opportunity for the resident and/or resident representative to formulate
advance directives (instructions regarding the provision of health care and life sustaining measures when
the resident is incapacitated), and failed to document the resident's and/or resident representative's
decision to accept or decline assistance to formulate advance directives for three of 138 residents reviewed
(Residents 37, 40, 53).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding advance directives, dated January 16, 2024, indicated that upon admission,
the resident or resident representative will be provided with written information concerning the right to
refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses
to do so. If the resident or resident representative indicates that he or she has not established advance
directives, the healthcare center staff will offer assistance in establishing advance directives. The resident or
resident representative will be given the option to accept or decline the assistance, and care will not be
contingent on either decision. Nursing staff will document in the medical record the offer to assist and the
resident's or resident representative's decision to accept or decline assistance. Information about whether
or not the resident has executed an advance directive is displayed prominently in the medical record in a
section of the record that is retrievable by any staff. If the resident or the resident's representative has
executed one or more advance directives, or executes one upon admission, copies of these documents are
obtained and maintained in the same section of the resident's medical record and are readily retrievable by
any facility staff. The interdisciplinary team will review annually with the resident his or her advance
directives to ensure that such directives are still the wishes of the resident. Such reviews will be made
during the annual assessment process and recorded in the medical record.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 37, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively
impaired, was able to be clearly understood and usually able to understand others, required assistance with
care needs, and had diagnoses that included diabetes and dementia.
An annual MDS assessment for Resident 40, dated May 17, 2024, revealed that the resident was
cognitively intact, was clearly understood and clearly able to understand others, required assistance for
care needs, and had diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease Stage 3b (moderate to severe loss of
kidney function) and peripheral vascular disease (a disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs).
An annual MDS assessment for Resident 53, dated October 5, 2024, revealed that the resident was
cognitively intact, was clearly understood and clearly able to understand others, required supervision to
independent with care needs, and had diagnoses that included dementia, diabetes, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) (chronic lung disease making breathing difficult), atrial fibrillation (irregular
heart rhythm), cerebral infarction (lack of blood supply to the brain resulting in brain death to parts of the
brain).
Review of Resident 37, 40 and 53's clinical records indicated that they did not have advance directives.
There was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical records that indicated the

Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the
required notice to the resident or the resident's representative following the end of their Medicare coverage
for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 101) who remained in the facility for long-term care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Beneficiary Protection Notification Review form, completed by the facility
and dated September 12, 2024, revealed that Medicare coverage for Resident 101 started on August 2,
2024, and that his last covered day was September 16, 2024. The form indicated that the facility initiated
discontinuation from Medicare Part A coverage and that the resident's benefit days were not exhausted.
There was no documented evidence that Resident 101 was provided with an Advance Beneficiary Notice of
Noncoverage (ABN - a notice given to Medicare beneficiaries to convey that Medicare is not likely to
provide coverage in a specific case).
Interview with the Director of Social Services on October 24, 2024, at 10:58 a.m. revealed that the ABN for
Resident 101 was not issued because she was not aware of the form and that it needed to be completed.

Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
Based on review of the Resident Assessment Instrument User's Manual and clinical records, as well as
staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that comprehensive admission Minimum
Data Set assessments were completed in the required time frame for 57 of 138 residents reviewed
(Residents 6, 10, 11, 13, 23, 27, 28, 30, 32, 38, 39, 43, 56, 57, 69, 70, 81, 83, 84, 85, 86, 89, 90, 94, 96,

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on review of facility policies, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to develop a comprehensive care plan that included specific and individualized interventions to
address the care needs of residents for two of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 37, 84).
Findings include:
A facility policy for Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Plans, dated January 16, 2024, included that the
interdisciplinary team, in conjunction with the resident and his or her family or legal representative,
develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. The
comprehensive person-centered care plan is developed within seven days of the completion of the required
comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities
and care needs). Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about
the residents' conditions change.
A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 37, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was
cognitively impaired, was able to be clearly understood and usually able to understand others, required
assistance with care needs, and had diagnoses that included diabetes and dementia.
Physician's orders for Resident 37, dated October 19, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive
0.4 milliliter (ml) of Enoxaparin (anticoagulant-used to prevent blood clots) subcutaneously (injection of
medication into the fat layer between the skin and the muscle) daily for four weeks.
There was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed to address Resident 37's individual
care and treatment needs related to her use of anticoagulant medication.
Interview with Nursing Home Administrator on October 23, 2024, at 2:17 p.m. confirmed that a care plan
was not developed to address the care needs related to Resident 37's need for anticoagulant medication
use and it should have been.
An admission MDS assessment for Resident 84, dated September 17, 2024, indicated that the resident
was cognitively intact, was incontinent of urine, and had a urinary tract infection.
Physician's orders, dated October 1, 2024, included an order for the resident to have a urinary catheter, 18
French (size) with a 10 cubic centimeters (cc) balloon (located on the bladder end of the catheter and filled
with sterile water to hold the tube in place) for urinary retention (a condition that makes it difficult to empty
the bladder, either partially or completely).
A review of the nurse aide documentation, dated October 1 through October 18, 2024, revealed that
catheter care was provided each shift.
There was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed to address Resident 84's individual
care and treatment needs related to his use of a urinary catheter.

Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that a resident's care plan was updated/revised to reflect the resident's specific
care needs for two of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 33, 81).
Findings include:
A facility policy for Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Plans, dated January 16, 2024, included that the
interdisciplinary team, in conjunction with the resident and his or her family or legal representative,
develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. The

A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 33, dated July 18, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact and did
not receive a diuretic medication (water pill). A current care plan indicated that the resident was receiving a
diuretic medication.
Review of Resident 33's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for October 2024 and current physician's
orders revealed that the resident was not ordered to receive a diuretic.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 24, 2024, at 12:17 p.m. confirmed that Resident
33's care plan was not revised to reflect that he was not receiving a diuretic.
An admission MDS assessment for Resident 81, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident
was cognitively intact, was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs,
and had an indwelling catheter (a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine from the
bladder).
A nurse's note for Resident 81, dated October 3, 2024, at 6:15 p.m. indicated that the resident was ordered
to trial discontinuing his foley (indwelling) catheter.
Review of Resident 81's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for October 2024 and review of his current
physician's orders revealed that the resident was not ordered to have an indwelling catheter. An active care
plan for Resident 81, dated September 20, 2024, indicated that the resident had an indwelling catheter.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 23, 2024, at 2:17 p.m. confirmed that Resident
81's care plan was not revised to reflect that his foley catheter was discontinued.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on review of clinical records and facility assessment reports, as well as staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to provide the correct consistency of food to one of 138 residents reviewed
(Resident 71) and failed to complete safety assessments for two of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 85,
100) who used an air mattress.
Findings include:
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a federally-mandated assessment of the resident's
abilities and care needs) for Resident 71, dated September 10, 2024, revealed that the resident was
cognitively intact and required a mechanically-altered diet. Physician's order for Resident 71 included an
order, dated March 15, 2024, for the resident to receive a pureed texture diet, add sauce and gravy, with
nectar consistency liquids (thickened liquids).
A nursing note for Resident 71, dated July 25, 2024, revealed that the resident was choking and that the
licensed practical nurse had performed the Heimlich maneuver. The resident was choking on his lunch.
A witness statement by the Speech Therapist, dated July 25, 2024, revealed that Resident 71 spit out a
chunk of chicken when the Heimlich maneuver was performed.
An interview with the Speech Therapist on October 22, 2024, at 2:01 p.m. revealed that Resident 71's
pureed chicken was not the proper consistency and had chunks in it on July 25, 2024. She stated that she
talked to the cook to inform him that the pureed chicken had chunks in it and that a resident had choked on
the chunks.
A facility policy, dated January 16, 2024, regarding support surface guidelines indicated that any individual
at risk for developing pressure ulcers should be placed on a redistribution support surface. Elements of
support surfaces that were critical to pressure ulcer prevention and general safety inlcude pressure

A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 85, dated September 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was
cognitively intact, required partial to moderate assistance to roll from left and right and move from sitting to
lying flat on the bed, and had a Stage 4 and Stage 2 pressure ulcers upon admission (Stage 4 - wound
caused by pressure that has wound that may expose bone, tendon, or muscle, and Stage 2 - wound
caused by pressure that was a shallow open wound).
Observations on October 21, 2024, at 12:36 p.m. revealed that Resident 85 was lying in bed, and the bed
was equipped with an air mattress; however, there was no documented evidence that the use of an air
mattress was assessed for potential safety hazards prior to being placed on the resident's bed.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on on October 24, 2024, at 10:50 a.m. confirmed that there
was no assessment for potential safety hazards prior to the air mattress being placed on the Resident 85's
bed and there should have been.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
residents were free from unnecessary drugs for two of 138 residents reviewed (Residents 74, 81).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a federally-mandated assessment of the resident's
abilities and care needs) for Resident 74, dated August 23, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively
intact and had diagnoses that included diabetes.
Pharmacy Medication Regimen Review for Resident 74, dated August 10, 2024, included recommendation
for the physician to discontinue the resident's Arixtra (blood thinner) and to taper the resident's fingerstick
monitoring with sliding scale insulin coverage. The physician agreed with the pharmacist recommendations
and discontinued the Arixtra and the fingerstick monitoring with sliding scale coverage on September 15,
2024, 36 days later.
Resident 74's Medication Administration Records (MAR's) for August and September 2024 revealed that
the resident received the Arixtra and the fingerstick monitoring with sliding scale insulin coverage from
August 10, 2024, until September 15, 2024.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on October 23, 2024, at 3:49 p.m. confirmed that the
physician did not address the pharmacy review recommendation timely and that the resident continued to
receive the Arixtra and sliding scale insulin coverage.
An admission MDS assessment for Resident 81, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident
was cognitively intact, was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs,
and had diagnoses including atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) and peripheral vascular disease (a
disease causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs).
Physician's orders for Resident 81, dated September 22, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive
a 14 milligram (mg)/24-hour nicotine transdermal (placed on the skin) patch daily to help with quitting
smoking, and remove per schedule.
A pharmacy recommendation for Resident 81, dated September 23, 2024, indicated that the resident was
recently added on a 14 mg nicotine patch for smoking cessation without a stop date. The pharmacist
recommended to taper the nicotine patch to seven mg after six weeks and indicated to evaluate and add an
order to discontinue the 14 mg nicotine patch in six weeks and start the seven mg nicotine patch for two
weeks then discontinue, if appropriate. The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) agreed with the
recommendations on September 28, 2024, as documented on the pharmacist's recommendations and
indicated to add a stop date as per the recommendations. There was no documented evidence in the
resident's clinical record that the pharmacy recommendation was completed as recommended by the
pharmacist and as agreed upon by the CRNP.
Review of the MAR for Resident 81 for September and October 2024 revealed that the resident received a
14 milligram (mg)/24-hour nicotine transdermal patch daily on September 29 and 30, 2024; October 1

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policies, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to label insulin with the date is was opened in one of three medication carts reviewed (Walnut hall);
failed to discard two expired multi-dose vials of insulin in one of three medication carts reviewed (Maple
hall); failed to provide a separately-locked, permanently-affixed compartment in the refrigerator for the
storage of controlled drugs in one of two medication rooms reviewed (medication room on East Wing); and
failed to ensure that medications were properly stored and labeled for one of 138 residents reviewed
(Resident 69).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding medication labeling and storage, dated [DATE], indicated that controlled
substances (medications with the potential to be abused) and other drugs subject to abuse are separately
locked in permanently-affixed compartments. Multi-dose vials that have been opened or accessed (e.g.,
needle punctured) are dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies a shorter or
longer date for the open vial. Each resident's medications are assigned to an individual cubicle, drawer, or
other holding area to prevent the possibility of mixing medications of several residents. Medications and
biologicals are stored in packaging, containers, or other dispensing systems in which they are received.
Nursing staff is responsible for maintaining medication storage and preparation areas in a clean, safe, and
sanitary manner.
Manufacturer's directions for the use of Lantus insulin Solostar pen (a long-acting insulin used to lower
blood sugar levels), dated [DATE], revealed that unused Lantus should be stored in a refrigerator between
36 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 46 degrees F. After initial use it may be kept at temperatures up to 86 degrees
F for up to 28 days.
Observations of the Walnut medication cart on the East Wing on [DATE], at 2:07 p.m. revealed a Lantus
insulin Solostar pen for Resident 12 that was opened and not dated.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 2 for the Walnut medication cart at the time of observation
confirmed that the opened Lantus insulin Solostar pen for Resident 12 was opened and not dated.
Manufacturer's instructions for Novolog insulin (injectable medication to lower blood sugar levels), dated
February 2015, revealed that the vial of Novolog was to be discarded after 28 days of being opened and
manufacturer's instructions for Lantus (injectable medication to lower blood sugar levels), dated [DATE],
revealed that the vial of Lantus was to be discarded after 28 days of being opened.
Observations of the medication cart on Maple hall on [DATE], at 1:32 p.m. revealed that a multi-use vial of
Novolog insulin for Resident 41 was opened and was labeled as being opened on [DATE], and a multi-use
vial of Lantus insulin for Resident 6 was opened and was labeled as being opened on [DATE].
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 2 at that time confirmed that the Novolog for Resident 41 and the
Lantus for Resident 6 should have been discarded 28 days after being opened.

Observations in the facility's East Wing medication room refrigerator on [DATE], at 2:19 p.m. revealed an
unlocked box not permanently affixed. Licensed Practical Nurse 2 removed the box from the refrigerator to
show that the box was not able to be locked, indicating it was broken. The unsecured, unlocked
compartment contained Dronabinol (a controlled medication used for nausea, vomiting, and appetite
stimulant and is tightly controlled because it may be abused or cause addiction) for Resident 68.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with Nursing Home Administrator [DATE], at 2:46 p.m. confirmed that the narcotic box in the
refrigerator in the medication room on the East wing, containing a controlled medication for Resident 68,
was not locked and permanently affixed. He indicated that he was unaware that the refrigerator was
replaced, and the box was never secured to the new refrigerator.
An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident 69, dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was
cognitively intact, required assistance for daily care needs, and had diagnosis that included stoke, anxiety,
depression, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
Observation of Resident 69 on [DATE], at 11:33 a.m. revealed that the resident was sitting in her wheelchair
with her lunch in front of her on the overbed stand. An unsupervised medicine cup containing 11 unlabeled
pills was sitting on her overbed table. An interview with Resident 69 at that time revealed that she did not
know the pills were on her table and that she forgot to take them.
An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1 on [DATE], at 11:43 a.m. revealed that she did leave
medication in Resident 69's room because she thought she was still in bed and was going to take them
when she sat up. She did not stay in the room to observe the resident take the medication, and they were
the resident's morning medication.
An interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on [DATE], at 10:50 p.m. confirmed that medications
should not have been left unsupervised and unlabeled at the bedside for Resident 69.

Based on review of facility policies and dishwasher temperature logs, as well as staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to record proper dishwasher temperatures for each meal in the main
kitchen.
Findings include:
The facility policy for dish machine temperatures, dated January 16, 2024, revealed that dietary aides were
responsible for recording dish machine temperatures each meal period. The wash temperature was to be
150 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and the rinse temperature was to be 180 degrees F. To ensure that the wash
and rinse temperatures were properly monitored and controlled, a log was to be completed by those who
were directly involved in the dish washing process. Entries were to be made for each meal.
Review of the Dish Machine Temperature Log, dated August 21 through October 21, 2024, revealed that
from August 21 to September 13, September 15 to September 28, September 29 to October 12, and
October 14 to October 21, 2024, there was no documented evidence that proper dish machine
temperatures were obtained and recorded for each meal.
Interview with the Dietary Manager on October 23, 2024, at 12:49 p.m. confirmed that the dish machine
temperature log was not complete and staff should have been recording the dish machine temperature for
each meal.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of established infection control guidelines and residents' clinical records, as well as
observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow infection control
guidelines from the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) to reduce the spread of infections and prevent cross-contamination for one of 138 residents
reviewed (Resident 81).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
CDC guidance on Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use in Nursing Homes to
Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs), dated July 12, 2022, indicates that
multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing to
substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions
(EBP) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that
employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. CMS updated its
infection prevention and control guidance effective April 1, 2024. The recommendations now include the
use of EBP during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical
devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with
a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not apply.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 81, dated September 27, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact,
was understood and able to understand others, required assistance with care needs, had arterial and
pressure ulcers present on admission, and had a diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease (a disease
causing poor blood circulation to lower limbs). A care plan for Resident 81, dated September 20, 2024,
revealed that the resident had actual skin breakdown. A care plan for Resident 81, dated October 17, 2024,
revealed that the resident had an infection to his left toe.
A progress note for Resident 81, dated October 2, 2024, at 10:16 p.m., indicated that the resident was seen
by Healing Partners that morning. Documentation revealed that the resident had two unstageable pressure
ulcers to the right posterior heel and left heel that were present on admission and that the residents had a
total of 18 wounds.
A progress note for Resident 81, dated October 16, 2024, at 12:16 p.m., indicated that the resident's left
second and third toe wounds had purulent drainage. The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner was made
aware, and orders were received for a wound culture and the resident was started on doxycycline (an
antibiotic) twice daily for 10 days.
A progress note for Resident 81, dated October 16, 2024, at 5:57 p.m. indicated that the resident was seen
by Healing Partners that morning. Documentation revealed that the resident's left second toe and left third
toe had new wounds noted and new orders were obtained. The wound culture was done, and they were
waiting for the results.
A progress note for Resident 81, dated October 18, 2024, at 5:12 p.m. indicated that the wound culture and
sensitivity results were received and the nurse practitioner indicated to continue with the doxycycline.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that each resident was offered and/or received the influenza immunization for one of 138
residents reviewed (Resident 43).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding the influenza vaccine, dated January 16, 2024, indicated that all residents and
employees who had no contraindications to the vaccine would be offered the influenza vaccine annually to
encourage and promote the benefits associated with vaccinations against influenza. Between October 1
and March 31 each year, the influenza vaccine would be offered to residents and employees.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 43, dated September 11, 2024, revealed that the resident could make himself
understood and could usually understand others, was cognitively impaired, and did not have the influenza
vaccine information assessed.
An informed consent form for the influenza vaccine, dated October 31, 2023, revealed that the resident's
representative requested that Resident 43 receive the influenza vaccine.
Review of the immunization records for Resident 43 revealed no documented evidence that the resident
was offered, received, or refused an influenza vaccine since admission on [DATE].
Interview with the Infection Control Nurse on October 22, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. confirmed that the facility had
no documented evidence that Resident 43 was offered, received, or refused an influenza vaccine since his
admission.
