range of motion related to his contractures (a shortening of muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby soft tissues
that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff, preventing normal movement) to both upper
extremities.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 01/11/2024 indicated Resident #56 was a [AGE] year-old male
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included

adult failure to thrive.
Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #56 was rarely/never
understood by others and was rarely/never able to make himself understood. Record review of the MDS
assessment indicated Resident #56 had a BIMS score of 0, which indicated his cognition was severely
impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #56 was dependent for all ADLs. The MDS assessment
indicated Resident #56 had no impairment in functional limitation in range of motion to his upper (shoulder,
elbow, wrist, hand) and lower (hip, knee, ankle, foot) extremities. The MDS assessment indicated Resident
#56 had an active diagnosis of other reduced mobility.
Record review of a facility provided document titled Residents with contractures dated 01/08/2024 indicated

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for each
resident that included the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care for 1 of 3
residents (Resident #45) reviewed for baseline care plans.
The facility failed to develop a baseline care plan that addressed Resident #45's use of a blood thinner.
This failure could place residents at risk of bleeding, excessive bruising, and not receiving care and
services to meet their needs.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 01/09/2024 indicated Resident #45 was an [AGE] year-old male
readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included sepsis due to methicillin susceptible
staphylococcus aureus (serious infection that can lead to complications and death), arthritis due to other
bacteria, right knee (inflammation of the right knee caused by a bacteria, fungus, virus), and chronic kidney
disease stage 3B (moderate to severe loss of kidney function).
Record review of the Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #45 was able to
make himself understood and understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #45 had a
BIMS score of 10, which indicated his cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated
Resident #45 did not exhibit rejection of care. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #45 required
partial/moderate assistance with personal, oral, and toileting hygiene, and dependent for shower/bathe. The
MDS assessment indicated Resident #45 received an anticoagulant.
Record review of the Order Summary Report dated 01/09/2024 indicated Resident #45 had an order for
Lovenox Injection Solution (also known as Enoxaparin Sodium a medication used to thin the blood to
prevent blood clots) Inject 76 mg subcutaneously (beneath the skin) one time a day to prevent blood clots
with a start date of 12/23/2023.
Record review of the January MAR indicated Resident #45 received Lovenox injections
01/01/2023-01/08/2023.
Record review of Resident #27's baseline care plan last reviewed 01/09/2024 did not indicate Resident #45
received Lovenox injections or received a blood thinner.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 5:22 p.m., the Administrator said baseline care plans were started by
the nurses and then the MDS Coordinator completed the baseline care plan. The Administrator said the
baseline care plan should include if a resident received a blood thinner like Lovenox. The Administrator said
it was important for the baseline care plan to include blood thinners for continuity of care and so the staff
knew how to take care of the residents.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 6:11 p.m., the DON said the baseline care plan was completed by the
nurse managers upon admission. The DON said use of blood thinners like Lovenox should be included in
the baseline care plan. The DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring the use

of a blood thinner was included in Resident #45's baseline care plan. The DON said the nurse managers
reviewed the orders and diagnosis daily to ensure they correlated with the care plans. The DON said it was
important for this to be included in the baseline care plan to ensure they were providing the best care for
the resident.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 6:30 PM, the MDS Coordinator said Resident #45's use of an
anticoagulant (blood thinner) should have been included in his baseline care plan. The MDS Coordinator
said if it was put on Resident #45's admission assessment it should have triggered to be included in his
baseline care plan. The MDS Coordinator said Resident #45's comprehensive care plan had not been
completed yet, the care plan in Resident #45's electronic health record was his baseline care plan. The
MDS Coordinator said the nurses initiated the baseline care plan, and then in the morning meetings she
went behind the nurses to update and add to the baseline care plans. The MDS Coordinator said Resident
#45's use of an anticoagulant was not added to his care plan because it must not have been on his
admission assessment, but it should have been added during the morning meeting. The MDS Coordinator
said it was important for medications like an anticoagulant to be added to the baseline care plan so they
can ensure they were providing person centered care.
Record review of the facility's undated policy titled, Base Line Care Plans, indicated, Completion and
implementation of the baseline care plan within 48 hours of a resident's admission is intended to promote
continuity of care and communication among nursing home staff, increase resident safety, and safeguard
against adverse events that are most likely to occur right after admission; and to ensure the resident and
representative, if applicable, are informed of the initial plan for delivery of care and services by receiving a
written summary of the baseline care plan. This facility will develop and implement a baseline care plan for
each resident that includes the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the
resident that meet professional standards of quality care. The baseline care plan will- o Be developed within
48 hours of a resident's admission. o Include the minimum healthcare information necessary to properly
care for a resident including, but not limited to- Initial goals based on admission orders. Physician orders .

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered
care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and
timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the
comprehensive assessment for 3 of 20 residents (Resident #16, Resident # 37, and Resident #56)
reviewed for comprehensive person-centered care plans.
1. The facility failed to care plan Resident #16's CPAP machine (machine used to deliver constant and
steady air pressure to help you breathe while you sleep).
2. The facility failed to care plan Resident #56's contractures (a shortening of muscles, tendons, skin, and
nearby soft tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff, preventing normal movement) to
both hands.
3. The facility failed to ensure Resident # 37 had a fall mat at bedside.
These failures could place the residents at increased risk of not having their individual needs met, injury,
not receiving necessary services, and a decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
1. Record review of a face sheet dated 01/11/2024 indicated Resident #16 was an 85- year-old male
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow
from the lungs), sleep apnea (condition that causes you to stop breathing while you are sleeping), and type
2 diabetes mellitus without complications (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood
sugar).
Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #16 understood others
and was able to make himself understood. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #16 had a BIMS score
of 9, which indicated his cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #16
was independent for all ADLs. The MDS assessment did not indicate Resident #16 used a CPAP.
Record review of Resident #16's Order Summary Report dated 01/10/2024 did not indicate he had orders
for a CPAP machine.
Record review of the care plan last reviewed on 11/21/2023 did not indicate Resident #16's use of a CPAP
machine.
During an observation and interview on 01/08/2024 at 10:45 a.m., Resident #16 had a CPAP machine in
his room on top of his nightstand. Resident #16 said he had the CPAP machine since he admitted to the
facility, and he used it.
During an interview on 01/10/2024 at 6:00 p.m., LVN E said Resident #16 used his CPAP machine at night.
LVN E said Resident #16 should have an order for his CPAP to ensure the settings were set properly.

2. Record review of a face sheet dated 01/11/2024 indicated Resident #56 was a [AGE] year-old male
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included
Wernicke's encephalopathy (brain disorder caused by a lock of vitamin B1), other reduced mobility, and
adult failure to thrive.
Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #56 was rarely/never
understood by others and was rarely/never able to make himself understood. Record review of the MDS
assessment indicated Resident #56 had a BIMS score of 0, which indicated his cognition was severely
impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #56 was dependent for all ADLs. The MDS assessment
indicated Resident #56 had no impairment in functional limitation in range of motion to his upper (shoulder,
elbow, wrist, hand) and lower (hip, knee, ankle, foot) extremities.
Record review of the Order Summary Report dated 01/17/2024, did not indicate any orders for Resident
#56's contractures.
Record review of a facility provided document titled Residents with contractures dated 01/08/2024 indicated
Resident #56 was on the list as having contractures.
Record review of the care plan last revised 11/15/2023 did not indicate Resident #56's contractures to both
of his hands were included in his care plan.
Record review of an Occupational Therapy Discharge Summary with dates of service
05/17/2023-06/13/2023 indicated Resident #56 had contractures to bilateral upper extremities.
During an observation on 01/08/2024 at 9:39 a.m., Resident #56 was lying in bed, contractures were noted
to both of his hands.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 4:19 p.m., LVN D said she did not think the nurses completed the
care plans, and she did not know who was responsible for the care plans. LVN D said she was aware
Resident #56 had contractures to both of his hands.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 5:03 p.m., the Administrator said contractures and the use of a CPAP
machine should be included in the residents' care plans. The Administrator said the IDT was responsible for
completing the care plans. The Administrator said the IDT ensured the care plans included what was
required for the residents in the daily clinical morning meetings. The Administrator said it was important for
the residents' care plans to include contractures and the use of a CPAP machine for continuity of care and
for staff to know how to care for the residents.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 5:50 p.m., the DON said comprehensive care plans were completed
by the IDT. The DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for overseeing the care plans. The DON
said the use of a CPAP machine and contractures should be included in the care plan. The DON said she
was not aware Resident #56's contractures were not included in his care plan. The DON said Resident
#16's CPAP was taken out of his care plan because they were working on getting him a new one. The DON
said it was important for these to be included in his care plans because the care plan gave a detail of how
they were supposed to care for the resident.
During an interview on 01/11/2024 at 6:23 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said she completed the
comprehensive care plans. The MDS Coordinator said the IDT reviewed the care plans as a team quarterly
to ensure everything was included in the residents' care plans. The MDS Coordinator said she was not

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that it was free from a medication error
rate of 5 percent or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 6.67 %, based on 2 errors out of 30
opportunities, which involved 2 of 7 residents (Resident #60 and #30) reviewed for medication
administration.
Residents Affected - Few
1.The facility failed to ensure LVN Q administered insulin correctly for Resident #60.
2.The facility failed to ensure LVN O administered insulin correctly for Resident #30.
These failures could place residents at risk for not receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of their
medications or receiving them as prescribed, per physician orders.
Findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #60's face sheet dated 01/16/24, indicated a [AGE] year-old male was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Diabetes mellites (diabetic), cerebral infarction
(stroke), essential hypertension (high blood pressure), and dementia (impaired ability to remember, think,
or make decisions that interfere with doing everyday activities).
Record review of Resident #60's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he understood and
was understood by others. Resident #60's BIMs score was 08, which indicated his cognition was
moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #60 required limited assistance with toileting, dressing,
personal hygiene, transfers, bathing, and supervision with eating and bed mobility. The MDS indicated he
received insulin injections during the look-back period.
Record review of Resident #60's comprehensive care plan dated 10/06/23, indicated he had Diabetes
Mellitus placing him at increased risk of infection and skin breakdown. The goal was for him not to have any
complications related to diabetes.
Record review of Resident #60's order summary report dated 09/21/23, indicated he had an insulin order
for Humalog (Lispro): Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 174 = 0; 175 -999 = 0-15u use formula: Fingerstick
reading -150/25= number of units to administer, subcutaneously (under the skin) before meals related to
Diabetes Mellitus.
During an observation on 01/08/24 at 3:57 p.m., LVN Q checked Resident #60's blood sugar and revealed
195. LVN Q used the formula (195-150/25) to calculate the amount of insulin to give. She calculated 1.8.
LVN Q said she was going to give Resident #60 1 unit of Humalog insulin. LVN Q went to the cart and drew
up Humalog insulin of 1 unit. LVN Q administered Resident #60 1 unit of Humalog insulin to his left lower
abdomen.
During an interview on 01/08/24 at 4:45 p.m., LVN K said she gave Resident #60 1 unit of insulin because
she calculated 1.8. She said she had never rounded when giving his insulin based on the formula. She said
she had never thought about calling the doctor to clarify the order because she thought she was calculating
correctly. She said she realized after being questioned by the surveyor that she should have rounded up to
2. She said if Resident #60 does not receive the correct amount of insulin it could cause his blood sugar
levels to increase and could affect his overall health.

During a phone interview on 01/09/24 at 1:20 p.m., The facility physician said if a nurse got a blood sugar of
195 then according to his orders, the nurse would subtract 195-150/25 =1.8. He said he would expect the
nurse to give 2 units. He said if they were rounding appropriately, they were supposed to round up to 2 that
was what he would expect the nurses to do. He said If they got 1.5 round to 1 but if they got 1.5 and higher
round up to 2. He said they could always call him and ask him if they had any questions about an order. He
said if Resident #60 received 1 unit of insulin it was incorrect, he should have received 2 units.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 11:00 a.m., LVN O said before the DON told her about the new insulin
orders for rounding, she never rounded. She said if she had gotten 1.8 as the calculated dosage, on
Resident #60 as Nurse LVN Q did, she would have given 1 unit. She said in nursing school, she was taught
not to round up. She said she now knows she should have called the physician because the resident was
not receiving the prescribed dose.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:28 p.m., the DON said she expected nurses to give insulin correctly.
She said LVN Q should have called the physician to clarify the reading of 1.8 after using the calculated
formula. She said she called the physician and got the order clarified on 01/08/24 after LVN Q gave
Resident #60 1 unit of Humalog. She said LVN Q should have given Resident #60 2 units of Humalog. She
said Resident #30 did not receive the correct amount of insulin and it could affect her overall well-being
such as hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels).
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:37 p.m., the ADON G said she expected the nurses to give the insulin
correctly. She said if she received 1.8 after using the calculated formula, she would have given 2 units of
insulin. She said failure to give the correct amount of insulin could lead to hyperglycemia.
2.Record review of Resident #30's face sheet, dated 01/16/24, indicated an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Diabetes
mellites (diabetic), cerebral infarction (stroke), and essential hypertension (high blood pressure).
Record review of Resident #30's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/21/23, indicated Resident #30
understood and was understood by others. Resident #30's BIMs score was 08, which indicated she was
cognitively moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #30 required total assistance with toileting,
extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, personal hygiene, transfers, and bathing, and supervision
with eating. The MDS indicated she received insulin injections during the look-back period.
Record review of Resident #30's physician's orders, dated 09/26/23, reflected Humalog Injection Solution
100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Lispro) Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 175 = units if blood sugar less than 60-80 and
not symptomatic administer glucose gel and recheck in 1 hour; 176 - 500 = 999
inject per sliding scale fingerstick result -150/25=number of units, subcutaneously before meals and at
bedtime for elevated glucose.
Record review of Resident #30's comprehensive care plan, dated 01/31/23 indicated Resident #30 had
Diabetes Mellitus placing her at risk for infection and skin issues. The intervention of the care plan indicated
staff would give medication as ordered by the physician.

During an observation on 01/11/24 at 10:48 a.m., LVN O took Resident #30's blood sugar. She received a
reading of 352. LVN O went to the cart and drew up 8 units of Humalog as ordered. LVN O went into
Resident #30's room and gave insulin to her left abdomen. LVN O did not wipe the end of the insulin pen off
before connecting the cap, prime the insulin pen, or hold the insulin pen in the skin for 10 seconds to allow
insulin to penetrate the skin therefore insulin was leaking out of the injection site.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 11:00 a.m., LVN O said she saw the insulin dripping out of Resident
#30's injection site. She said she did not know why the insulin was leaking from Resident #30's injection
site. LVN O said she was not aware she was supposed to hold the insulin pen at the injection site for 10
seconds. She said she was not aware she needed to clean the insulin pen before connecting the cap or
prime the insulin pen before setting the dial to the required insulin dosage. LVN O said she had not had
competency training on giving insulin with an insulin pen from this facility. She said since an unknown
amount of the insulin dripped out of Resident #30's injection site it would not have had the same effect as
giving the ordered amount. She said it could affect her blood sugar levels and lead to higher levels. LVN O
said as the nurse she was responsible for ensuring the medication was given as ordered.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:28 p.m., the DON said nurses needed to give insulin correctly. She
said nursing staff were supposed to prime the insulin pen, set the dial to the ordered insulin, and make sure
they held it at the injection site for 10 seconds to allow the medication to enter the subcutaneous tissues.
She said if insulin were not given correctly, it could cause them to have an adverse reaction such as
hyper/hypoglycemia (high or low blood sugars). She said she could not recall if LVN Q or LVN O had been
checked off on competency of insulin.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:37 p.m., ADON G said she expected the nurses to give the insulin
correctly. She said nurses were supposed to set the amount on the insulin pen, put on the needle, clean the
skin of the resident, press to the skin, and hold to the skin to allow insulin to penetrate the skin. She said
she was not aware of any training on insulin pens as she was new to the ADON position. She said failure to
deliver the ordered amount of insulin could affect the resident's blood sugars negatively.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 5:44 p.m., the Administrator said she expected the nurses to give
medication and insulin as ordered by the physician. She said the DON was the overseer of nursing. She
said she could see not giving insulin correctly could affect a resident's blood sugars.
Record review of facility policy titled, Medication Administration Procedures, indicated 1. All medications are
administered by licensed medical or nursing personnel.
2. Medications are to be poured, administered, and charted by the same licensed person. 13.
When ordered or indicated, include specific item(s) to monitor (e.g., blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar,
weight), frequency (e.g., weekly, daily), timing (e.g., before or after administering the medication), and
parameters for notifying the prescriber.14.A specific order must be obtained from the Physician to change
the dosage form of a resident's medication (e.g., tablet to liquid form).15.Medication errors and adverse
drug reactions are immediately reported to the resident's Physician. In addition, the Director of nurses
and/or designee should be notified of any medication errors. Any medication error will require a medication
error report that includes the error and actions to prevent reoccurrence.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that residents were free of significant
medication errors for 2 of 6 residents reviewed for medication pass. (Resident #60 and Resident #30)
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to ensure LVN Q administered insulin correctly for Resident #60.
2. The facility failed to ensure LVN O administered insulin correctly for Resident #30
These failures could place the resident at risk of medical complications and not receiving the therapeutic
effects of their medications.
Findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #60's face sheet dated 01/16/24, indicated a [AGE] year-old male was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Diabetes mellites (diabetic), cerebral infarction
(stroke), essential hypertension (high blood pressure), and dementia (impaired ability to remember, think,
or make decisions that interfere with doing everyday activities).
Record review of Resident #60's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he understood and
was understood by others. Resident #60's BIMs score was 08, which indicated his cognition was
moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #60 required limited assistance with toileting, dressing,
personal hygiene, transfers, bathing, and supervision with eating and bed mobility. The MDS indicated he
received insulin injections during the look-back period.
Record review of Resident #60's comprehensive care plan dated 10/06/23, indicated he had Diabetes
Mellitus placing him at increased risk of infection and skin breakdown. The goal was for him not to have any
complications related to diabetes.
Record review of Resident #60's order summary report dated 09/21/23, indicated he had an insulin order
for Humalog (Lispro): Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 174 = 0; 175 -999 = 0-15u use formula: Fingerstick
reading -150/25= number of units to administer, subcutaneously (under the skin) before meals related to
Diabetes Mellitus.
During an observation on 01/08/24 at 3:57 p.m., LVN Q checked Resident #60's blood sugar and revealed
195. LVN Q used the formula (195-150/25) to calculate the amount of insulin to give. She calculated 1.8.
LVN Q said she was going to give Resident #60 1 unit of Humalog insulin. LVN Q went to the cart and drew
up Humalog insulin of 1 unit. LVN Q administered Resident #60 1 unit of Humalog insulin to his left lower
abdomen.
During an interview on 01/08/24 at 4:45 p.m., LVN Q said she gave Resident #60 1 unit of insulin because
she calculated 1.8. She said she had never rounded when giving his insulin based on the formula. She said
she had never thought about calling the doctor to clarify the order because she thought she was calculating
correctly. She said she realized after being questioned by the surveyor that she should have rounded up to
2. She said if Resident #60 does not receive the correct amount of insulin it could cause his blood sugar
levels to increase and could affect his overall health.
During a phone interview on 01/09/24 at 1:20 p.m., The facility physician said if a nurse got a

blood sugar of 195 then according to his orders, the nurse would subtract 195-150/25 =1.8. He said he
would expect the nurse to give 2 units. He said if they were rounding appropriately, they were supposed to
round up to 2; that was what he would expect the nurses to do. He said If they got 1.5 round to 1 but if they
got 1.5 and higher round up to 2. He said they could always call him and ask him if they had any questions
about an order. He said if Resident #60 received 1 unit of insulin it was incorrect, he should have received 2
units.
During an interview on 01/09/24 at 1:34 p.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC) said she would have to
clarify with the physician related to how Resident #60's insulin orders were. She said if she got results of
1.8 after using the calculated formula, she would not know whether to give 1 unit or 2 units of insulin.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 11:00 a.m., LVN O said before the DON told her about the new insulin
orders for rounding, she never rounded when giving insulin using the calculated formula. She said if she
had gotten 1.8 as the calculated dosage, for Resident #60 she would have given 1 unit. She said in nursing
school, she was taught not to round up. She said she now knows she should have called the physician
because the resident was not receiving the prescribed dose.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:28 p.m., the DON said she expected nurses to give insulin correctly.
She said LVN Q should have called the physician to clarify the reading of 1.8 after using the calculated
formula. She said she called the physician and got the order clarified on 01/09/24. She said LVN Q should
have given Resident #60 2 units of Humalog. She said Resident #30 did not receive the correct amount of
insulin and it could affect his overall well-being such as hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels).
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:37 p.m., the ADON said she expected the nurses to give the insulin
correctly. She said if she received 1.8 after using the calculated formula, she would have given 2 units of
insulin. She said failure to give the correct amount of insulin could lead to hyperglycemia.
2.Record review of Resident #30's face sheet, dated 01/16/24, indicated an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Diabetes
mellites (diabetic), cerebral infarction (stroke), and essential hypertension (high blood pressure).
Record review of Resident #30's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/21/23, indicated Resident #30
understood and was understood by others. Resident #30's BIMs score was 08, which indicated she was
cognitively moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #30 required total assistance with toileting,
extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, personal hygiene, transfers, and bathing, and supervision
with eating. The MDS indicated she received insulin injections during the look-back period.
Record review of Resident #30's physician's orders, dated 09/26/23, reflected Humalog Injection Solution
100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Lispro) Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 175 = units if blood sugar less than 60-80 and
not symptomatic administer glucose gel and recheck in 1 hour; 176 - 500 = 999
inject per sliding scale fingerstick result -150/25=number of units, subcutaneously before meals and at
bedtime for elevated glucose.

Record review of Resident #30's comprehensive care plan dated 01/31/23 indicated Resident #30 had
Diabetes Mellitus placing her at risk for infection and skin issues. The intervention of the care plan indicated
staff would give medication as ordered by the physician.
During an observation on 01/11/24 at 10:48 a.m., LVN O took Resident #30's blood sugar. She received a
reading of 352. LVN O went to the cart and drew up 8 units of Humalog as ordered. LVN O went into
Resident #30's room and gave insulin to her left abdomen. LVN O did not wipe the end of the insulin pen off
before connecting the cap, prime the insulin pen, or hold the insulin pen in the skin for 10 seconds to allow
insulin to penetrate the skin therefore insulin was leaking out of the injection site.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 11:00 a.m., LVN O said she saw the insulin dripping out of Resident
#30's injection site. She said she did not know why the insulin was leaking from Resident #30's injection
site. LVN O said she was not aware she was supposed to hold the insulin pen at the injection site for 10
seconds. She said she was not aware she needed to clean the insulin pen before connecting the cap or
prime the insulin pen before setting the dial to the required insulin dosage. LVN O said she had not had
competency training on giving insulin with an insulin pen from this facility. She said since an unknown
amount of the insulin dripped out of Resident #30's injection site it would not have had the same effect as
giving the ordered amount. She said it could affect her blood sugar levels and lead to higher levels. LVN O
said as the nurse she was responsible for ensuring the medication was given as ordered.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 3:44 p.m., the HR Supervisor looked through LVN O's file and said LVN
O was hired on 10/23 and she did not have her skills competencies done.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:28 p.m., the DON said nurses needed to give insulin correctly. She
said nursing staff were supposed to prime the insulin pen, set the dial to the ordered insulin, and make sure
they held it at the injection site for 10 seconds to allow the medication to enter the subcutaneous (SQ)
tissues. She said if insulin were not given correctly, it could cause them to have an adverse reaction such
as hyper/hypoglycemia (high or low blood sugars). She said she could not recall if LVN Q or LVN O had
been checked off on competency of insulin.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:37 p.m., ADON G said she expected the nurses to give the insulin
correctly. She said nurses were supposed to set the amount on the insulin pen, put on the needle, clean the

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.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure drugs and biologicals
used in the facility were labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles, included the
appropriate accessory and cautionary instructions, and the expiration date when applicable for 1 of the 5
medication carts reviewed for medications storage. (Hall C)
The facility failed to ensure Resident #5 and Resident #52's Humalog (fast-acting insulin to control high
blood sugar) insulin were taken off the cart after the opening date had expired on Hall C's nurse cart.
The facility failed to ensure Resident # 17 Breo Ellipta inhaler (medication used to prevent and decrease
symptoms of wheezing and trouble breathing), was dated when opened on Hall C's nurse cart.
These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the therapeutic benefit of medications, adverse
reactions to medications, or harm by indigestion.
Findings included:
During an observation on 01/11/24 at 3:12 p.m., Hall C's nurse's cart revealed Resident #5's Humalog
insulin was open and dated 12/09/23 and Resident #52's Humalog insulin pen was open and dated
11/17/23. Resident #17 Breo Ellipta inhaler manufacture label was 10/09/23 was opened but had no
opened date.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 3:24 p.m., LVN D said she was not aware of how long insulin was good
for. She said she went by the expiration date on the label. She said inhalers should be dated when opened
to ensure they were getting an effective dose. LVN D said after the DON explained how long insulin was
good for she was aware that Humalog insulin expired after 28 days therefore the insulin was not as effective
as it should have been.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:28 p.m., the DON said she expected the nurses and medication aides
to audit their carts at least weekly to check for expired medications. The DON said the pharmacy consultant
was at the facility monthly and checked for expired medications as well. She said it was the ADON's
responsibility to oversee that the carts were being audited. The DON said she expected the insulin to be
removed from the cart after being opened for 28 days and the inhaler to be dated when opened. She said
whoever opened the inhaler should have been responsible for dating it. The DON said the residents were at
risk for medications to be ineffective.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 4:37 p.m., the ADON said she expected the medication aides and
nurses to check their carts daily. She said the insulin should be dated when opened and discarded when
expired. The ADON said the medication aide or nurse who opened the inhaler was responsible for dating it.
The ADON said by not dating the inhalers when opened the staff would be unaware of when the inhalers
expired. She said since the insulin had expired from the opening date, it could have been ineffective.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 5:44 p.m., the Administrator said she expected the medication carts to
not have any expired medications. The Administrator said she expected the insulin pens to be

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 3 of 6 staff (CNA B, CNA
C, Treatment Nurse) and 2 of 4 Halls (Hall D and Hall A) reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure the Treatment Nurse changed gloves and performed hand hygiene while
providing wound care to Resident #44.
2. The facility failed to ensure CNA C changed gloves and performed hand hygiene while providing
incontinent care to Resident #165.
3. The facility failed to ensure CNA B changed gloves and performed hand hygiene while providing
incontinent care to Resident # 60
4. The facility failed to ensure the linen carts on Hall D and Hall A were covered.
These failures could place residents and staff at risk for cross-contamination and the spread of infection.

Treatment Nurse did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene prior to cleaning the wound and patting it
dry. The Treatment Nurse then changed gloves and performed hand hygiene and patted the wound dry
again with gauze. The Treatment Nurse then applied collagen fibers, the oil emulsion dressing, black foam
and completed the wound care.
