Review of literature revealed as follows: Crushing an Extended-Release preparation may change the drug release characteristics, with the potential for an unintended large bolus dose being delivered rather than controlled release over the intended timescale. The consequence of this would be for a potentially toxic dose of medication to be delivered following administration with an increased risk of adverse effects. While there is the risk of initial overdosing of drug, there will be under dosing at later times which could result in a lack of clinical efficacy.

F 0836 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure the facility is licensed under applicable State and local law and operates and provides services in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and codes, and with accepted professional standards. Based on review of facility documentation, review of clinical records, and resident interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to submit complete and accurate information to the State Survey Agnecy regarding a resident fall and subsequent transfer to the hospital for one of six residents reviewed for falls incidents (Resident R65). Findings Include: Review of Resident R65's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated resident assessment and care screening) dated June 1, 2024, revealed the resident was cognitively intact. Review of facility reported documentation submitted to the Department of Health on April 8, 2024, revealed that on April 8, 2024, Resident R65, had a fall in her room and sustained an open area to the forehead. Continued review of the facility reported documentation revealed safety measures were in place at the time of the fall. Resident R65 was transferred to the hospital for evaluation and returned. Per the facility reported documentation, the hospital computed tomography (CT - imaging test that helps healthcare providers detect injuries) scan of head and spine showed no acute findings. During an onsite review of the facility reported incident on August 8, 2024, the surveyor identified that the facility did not submit complete and accurate information regarding Resident R65's fall pn April 8, 2024. Review of Resident R65's physician order summary revealed an order dated March 5, 2024, for bilateral floor mats to be on floor next to bed when resident is in bed. Review of facility documentation revealed an incident report dated April 8, 2024, completed by Registered Nurse Supervisor, Employee E8, which revealed Resident R65 sustained an unwitnessed fall on April 8, 2024, at approximately 3:15 a.m. Resident R65 was found on the ground next to her bed. Resident R65 subsequently sustained a laceration to top of the forehead measuring 2 cm (centimeters) (length) x 1.5 cm (width) x 0.2 cm (depth) and was transferred to the hospital for evaluation. Further review of the incident report revealed the fall mat was not present on the floor at the time of the fall. Review of Resident R65's clinical record revealed Resident R65 was seen by psychiatry on April 8, 2024, where the resident reported she fell out of bed when she was reaching for her call bell. Review of Resident R65's clinical record revealed a skin and wound note dated April 9, 2024, by Nurse Practitioner, Employee E9, which revealed the resident's laceration was treated with four staples during her hospitalization on April 8, 2024. During an interview with Resident R65 on August 8, 2024, at 10:41 a.m. the resident confirmed hitting her head on the floor after falling out of bed on April 8, 2024. The facility failed to include pertinent, detailed information to the State Survey Agency that contributed to Resident R65's injury at the time of the fall. Further, the facility failed to include that the laceration Resident R65 sustained to the head subsequently required staples.

F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility policy, review of facility documentation, observation, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that essential equipment was maintained in safe and operating conditions related to the dish machine in the main kitchen and handwashing sink in the laundry area. Residents Affected - Many Findings Include: Review of facility policy Sanitation of Dishes/Dish Machine undated, revealed for a high temperature dish washer, wash temperature should be 150-165 degrees Fahrenheit, and final rinse temperature should be 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Further review of facility policy revealed for a low temperature dish washer the wash temperature should be 120 degrees Fahrenheit and the sanitation should reach at least 50 ppm (parts per million). An initial tour of the Food Service Department conducted on August 5, 2024, at 9:42 a.m. with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, revealed the following: Dietary employees were observed using the dish machine to clean utensils, cups, plates, meal trays, and lids from the breakfast meal. Interview with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, revealed that the dish washer can be used as a heat sanitation (final rinse temperatures should reach 180 degrees Fahrenheit) or chemical sanitation. Observations revealed the wash temperature was 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature of the final rinse water was only 90 degrees Fahrenheit, subsequently the dish machine should have been using chemicals to sanitize. Observations of the operation of the dish machine with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, revealed that the chemical that was dispensing into the dish machine was not registering when tested. The Food Service Director, Employee E4, reported that the chemical being used was low temperature machine sanitizer. Review of the Manufacturer's recommendations revealed that it is a chlorine sanitizer and chlorine levels should be tested with a test kit to be sure chlorine levels do not drop below 50 ppm. Below 50 ppm sanitization may be incomplete. Observations revealed that the dietary staff were not operating the dish machine properly. The chemical was not dispensing according to manufacturer's directions into the dish machine. Interview with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, confirmed the high temperature sanitation has not been working, because the booster (essential piece of the dish machine to boost water temperatures) has been broken for a couple months. Food Service Director, Employee E4, was unable to give specific date. Continued interview with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, revealed dietary staff should be logging the sanitizing solution with each use of the dish machine.

F 0908 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Review of the log for the dish machine for August 2024 revealed only temperatures were being monitored, not the sanitizing solution. Temperatures on the August 2024 dish machine log from 08/01/2024 through 08/04/2024 revealed the final rinse water temperature was being documented as 180 degrees or higher. Interview with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, revealed these were inaccurate and falsely documented since the booster for the dish machine has been broken for months, it is not possible that the water would be able to reach those temperatures. Interviews on August 5, 2024, between 9:45 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. with dietary aides, Employees E28, E29, E30, E31, and E32, revealed no education was given regarding how to check sanitizing levels on the dish machine. Interview with the Food Service Director, Employee E4, confirmed no education was done with dietary staff on how to test the sanitizer levels on the dish machine. Follow-up interview on August 5, 2024, at 1:56 p.m. with Food Service Director, Employee E4, revealed the servicing company came out to assess dish machine and confirmed the tubing for the sanitizer had come off and was subsequently not dispensing sanitizer solution into the dish machine. Observation of the laundry area conducted on August 6, 2024, at 11:20 am together with Director of Maintenance Employee E16 revealed a sink located in the soiled section of the laundry room. Further, the sink in soiled area was covered in plastic.
