Further review of Resident 81's clinical record on [DATE], at 12:43 PM, revealed a POLST (Pennsylvania
Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) signed by the Resident and dated [DATE], that indicated the Resident
did not want cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The Resident checked that he wanted to be a DNR/Do
Not Attempt Resuscitation.
Review of the current physician orders revealed that Resident 81 had an order dated [DATE], that he was a
full code, indicating that in the event of a cardiac arrest the Resident would want CPR.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policy, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to maintain an effective infection control program related to storage of staff personal items in a medication
cart in one of three carts observed and the preparation and administration of medications to one of four
Residents observed (Resident 42).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Administering Medications, with a last review date of March 28, 2023,
revealed 22. Staff shall follow established facility infection control procedures (e.g., handwashing, antiseptic
technique, gloves, isolation precautions, etc.) for the administration of medications, as applicable.
During a medication cart observation conducted on the first floor nursing unit on December 12, 2023, at
10:52 AM, with Employee 3, it was observed that Employee 3 had their purse stored in the bottom left hand
drawer of the medication cart. The purse was sitting on top of Resident medication inhalers. During an
immediate interview with Employee 3, the Employee stated that they were paranoid and liked to keep it with
them. Employee 3 then asked Is it not allowed? Employee 3 then removed their purse and locked the
medication cart.
During a medication pass observation on December 13, 2023, at 08:30 AM, Employee 1 was observed
preparing medications to administer to Resident 42. Employee 1 was observed punching a total of seven
pills from Resident 42's medication blister packages with their left hand into the fingers of their right hand,
and then placing the pills into a medication cup. The medications were then administered to Resident 42.
There was no visible indication noted that Employee 1's hands were soiled, but they had been observed
touching the drawers of the medication cart, the mouse for the medication administration computer, as well
as the house-stock pill bottles, inhaler boxes, and the medication blister packages.
During an interview with Employee 1 on December 13, 2023, at 08:43 AM, Employee 1 indicated that they
should have popped the medications directly into the cup and not touched them.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on December 13,
2023, at approximately 11:30 AM, the DON confirmed that Employee 3 should not be storing their purse or
personal items in the medication cart with Resident medications, and that Employee 1 should not have
touched Resident 42's pills with their fingers.
