been done regularly.
An interview with COOK A on 06/17/24 at 11:08 am she stated the worn pan was in use, and they used it
for making grilled cheese sandwiches. She stated they probably should not be using the pan because the
non-stick surface could flake off even more and get into the food. She stated it could make residents sick.
COOK A stated the spices should not have been open to air because the spices could clump, and it could
affect the residents-maybe make them sick or cause some kind of reaction. She stated the stained and
scratched cups, bowls, and glasses were on the clean racks, and in use.
An interview with [NAME] B on 06/17/24 at 11:09 am she stated the stained and scratched cups, bowls,
and glasses were on the clean rack, and about to go out on the carts for delivery to the residents. She did
not know who was responsible for checking the dirty dishes. She stated she did not know the dishes looked
the way they did and would not want to drink or eat from them because it would probably make her sick.
She stated the dishes needed to be re-washed because whatever was in the dirty dishes on the clean rack
could make the residents sick.
An interview with the FSM on 06/17/24 at 11:30 am she stated the stained and scratched cups, bowls, and
glasses were used every single shift. She stated there were no problems with the dishwasher and
proceeded to check a chem strip, which was normal. She stated the stained and scratched cups, bowls,
and glasses should not be used and the dishwasher was responsible for checking them. She stated they
would not send the dishes out like that. When shown the dirty dishes, she stated, they're not washing them.
She stated the dishwashers were trained to check every load. She stated she was ultimately responsible for
the entire kitchen. Regarding the juice guns, the FSM stated they were not supposed to be hanging down
and should be in the holsters. She stated the red sticky substance was old juice. She stated the juice guns
were cleaned after each use. She stated she cleaned them herself last week. She stated they did not look

into the glasses and it could make residents sick. The FSM stated cross contamination could occur with the
juice guns in the condition they were in as well as the scratched and dirty dishes. The FSM stated the
spices and sugar should not have been open to air because it could cause clumping. She stated the
residents could get sick. The FSM stated staff should not be using the worn, non-stick pan for anything, and
it should have been replaced. The FSM stated she was not sure what their policy said about cleaning,
sanitation, and personal items. The FSM stated she did not know who the personal sodas belonged to, but
they should not have been on the juice machine table or in the refrigerator. The FSM stated the tape
dispensers on the prep table should not have been on the shelf above the prep table because kitchen staff

An interview with the DW on 06/17/24 at 11:40 am she stated the stained and scratched cups, bowls, and
glasses were typically not looked at after the wash cycle. She stated all of the stained and scratched cups,
bowls, and glasses were on the clean rack and about to be used. She stated the stained and scratched
cups, bowls, and glasses typically looked like that and they used them anyway. She stated she guessed the
staff was moving too fast to notice. She stated cross contamination could occur, especially in the scratches
and make the residents sick. She stated she tried to say something to the FSM, but nothing happened, and
she was afraid she could get fired if she said anything more. She stated drying mats were needed for drying
the cups, glasses, and bowls on the trays and that all of the drying trays should have had a drying mat on
them so air could circulate and keep bacteria from growing, which could make the residents sick. She
stated without the drying mats, the dishes did not dry properly.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have sufficient staff with the appropriate
competencies and skill sets to provide nursing and related services to assure resident safety and attain or
maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident for one
(Resident #272) of eight residents reviewed for medication administration.
The facility failed to ensure that four nurses (LVN A, LVN H, LVN I, and LVN J) admistered medication that
was ordered for Resident #272 as documented.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving their medications, not receiving the intended
therapeutic effects of their medications and could contribute to possible adverse reactions.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #272's admission record dated 06/18/24 revealed a [AGE] year old male
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included encounter for orthopedic aftercare following surgical
amputation, iron deficiency anemia, gastrostomy (a tube inserted through the abdominal wall into the
stomach that is used to give residents nutrition, medications, and/or fluids) status, congestive heart failure,
type 2 diabetes, primary hypertension, history of skin cancer removal on nose, chronic kidney disease, and
cerebral infarction (disrupted blood flow to the brain that causes brain cells to die).
Record review of Resident #272's order summary report dated 06/18/24 revealed an order for Alkalol
Saline Nasal Solution (Nasal Moisturizer Combination); 2 sprays in both nostrils one time a day for
allergies. Order date: 06/11/24. Start date: 06/11/24.
Observation of medication pass on 06/18/24 at 9:10am revealed that Resident #272's ordered nasal spray
was not in the medication administration cart that was being used by the WCN, who was also the floor
charge nurse that day, to administer medications.
Record review of Resident #272's MAR on 06/18/24 revealed that Resident #272's nasal spray was
administered on:
06/12/24 at 9:00am by LVN I
06/13/24 at 9:00am by LVN A
06/14/24 at 9:00am by LVN A

cart nor in the medication storage room. The WCN stated she contacted the nurse practitioner by phone
who advised the WCN to try to get the nasal spray from the pharmacy. The WCN stated she contacted the
pharmacy and was told the nasal spray is an over the counter medication and should be obtained by
central supply. The WCN stated if a medication is not administered as prescribed, it could cause the
resident to have medical issues, depending on the medication, such as high blood pressure for a
hypertension medication or decreased wound healing for vitamins/minerals. The WCN stated she was not
able to tell who the other nurses were that were on the MAR because it only showed initials or
abbreviations, but that she would try to run a report to show who each nurse was. (She was not able to run
that report).
In an interview on 06/18/24 at 12:29pm in Resident #272's room, Resident #272's family member stated
that she was at the facility with the resident every day and had observed his medication administration on 4
days out of 7 that she had been at the facility. The family member stated Resident #272 had not received
nasal spray on any of the days that she observed him being given medications. The family member stated
that Resident #272 got the nasal spray at home due to the cancer removed from the top of his nose on the
right side. The family member stated the nasal spray was used at home as needed, not necessarily every
day, to help prevent infections. Resident #272 also stated that he had not gotten the nasal spray since he
had been in the facility.
In an interview on 06/18/24 at 12:32pm, MA K stated that you should never document that you gave a
medication that you did not give. MA K stated if the medication is not on the cart or in the medication room,
she would tell the nurses so that they could get it. MA K stated it would be false documentation and could
have adverse effects such as high blood pressure or high blood sugar due to the resident not getting
prescribed medication. MA K stated if she saw that a medication was not administered, but was
documented that it was, she would let the charge nurse know.
In an interview on 06/18/24 at 12:35pm, the WCN stated she would not document that a medication was
given if she did not have the medication. The WCN stated she would contact the pharmacy and/or the
practitioner as needed to advise them of the situation and see if the order needed to be changed or what
needed to be done. The WCN stated as charge nurse, if she knew about a medication being documented
but not given, she would find out who that person was, find out the reason, and tell the DON. The WCN
stated that she talked to central supply and now has the nasal spray for the resident and the nurse
practitioner has updated the order to as needed instead of scheduled, per Resident #272 and family
request.
In an interview on 06/18/24 at 12:46pm, the DON stated, I'm working on the in-service now. The DON
stated she would expect that if a medication was ordered and had not been available for over 24 hours, the
nurse would notify the ADON, DON, pharmacy, and/or central supply to get the prescribed medication or
over the counter medication. The DON stated she would also expect the nurse to notify the practitioner to
let them know what was going on and see if they wanted to make any changes. The DON stated she would
expect the nurse to NOT document that a medication had been given if it had not. The DON stated if a
medication is not really given but documented as administered, it could cause complications such as a
physician ordering another blood pressure medication because documentation showed that a resident had
been receiving an anti-hypertensive medication but the blood pressure was still high which could have
possibly lead to a resident having a critically low blood pressure due to the extra medication. The DON
stated false documentation of medication administration could lead to resident complications up to and
including death, depending on the medication. The DON stated that the nurses that falsified the
documentation would be disciplined and re-trained on medication administration and documentation. The
DON stated she had notified the family and was waiting on a call back

In an interview on 06/18/24 at 1:32pm, the ADMIN stated she would expect the nurse to contact the
pharmacist or supply to get the medication, then to contact the ADON or DON if they still were not able to
get it. The ADMIN stated if the medication was still not available after all that, the nurse would have to
contact the prescriber to see if the order needed to be changed. The ADMIN stated she would expect all
staff to follow physician orders and not just document that it was done. The ADMIN stated that all of the
nurses who falsified the documentation would be disciplined by the facility and in-serviced/ retrained on
medication administration and documentation.
Record review of the facility's Medication Administration Policy and Procedure dated 10/01/19 states in
part:
D. 10 Rights of Medication Administration6. Right Documentation- Nurses need to document medications as they're given. Any medication
documentation needs to be initialed yourself, never let anyone document for you. Chart the time, route, and
any other specific information as necessary.
E. Prior to administration, the medication and dosage schedule on the resident's medication administration
record (MAR) are compared with the medication label.
K. If a medication with a current, active order cannot be located in the medication cart/drawer, other areas
of the medication cart, medication room, and facility (e.g., other units) are searched, if possible. If the
medication cannot be located after further investigation, the pharmacy is contacted or medication removed
from the night box/emergency kit.
2. Administration
B. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the prescriber.
4. Documentation (including electronic)
A. The individual who administers the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR
directly after the medication is given. At the end of each medication pass, the person administering
medications reviews the MAR to ensure necessary doses were administered and documented.
D. The resident's MAR is initialed by the person administering the medication, in the space provided under
the date, and on the line for that specific medication dose administration. Initials on each MAR are cross
referenced to a full signature in the space provided.
G. If an electronic MAR system is used, specific procedures required for resident identification, identifying
medications due at specific times, and documentation of administration, refusal, holding of doses, and
dosing parameters are described in the user's manual. These procedures should be followed and may differ
slightly from the procedures for using paper MARs.

Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
Based on observation and record review, the facility failed to provide the required 80 square feet per
resident in 46 multiple resident rooms (201, 203, 205, 207, 209, 211, 216, 218, 220, 222, 225, 227, 229,

Rooms measured between 120 and 132.3 square feet instead of the 80 square feet per resident required.
This failure could impede the ability or residents living in these rooms to attain their highest practicable
well-being.
Findings included:
Offsite facility reviews revealed an existing room size waiver from recertification survey exit date 01/14/22.
The following rooms were determined not to provide the required 80 square feet per resident rooms: 201,
203, 205, 207, 209, 211, 216, 218, 220, 222, 225, 227, 229, 231, 301, 303, 305, 307, 309, 311, 312, 314,

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and
comfortable environment for 1 of 20 residents r(Resident #273), staff, and the public.
-A facility staff member left an empty covered needle syringe on top of Resident #273's drawer in his room.
This failure could place 20 residents who reside on the 200 floor at risk for injury or illness due to an unsafe
environment.
The Findings:
Record review of Resident #273's face sheet dated 6/17/24 reflected a [AGE] year-old-male with an original
admission date of 6/8/24. Diagnoses included type 2 diabetes (insufficient insulin production in the body),
surgical aftercare following surgery, and end stage renal failure (kidney failure).
Record review of Resident #273's MDS reflected a BIMS score of 15 (cognition intact).
Record review of Resident #273's care plan reflected Resident #273 has the need for enhanced
barrier precautions due to: (open wound, wound vacuum).
Interventions included:
-Gown and gloves only for high- contact resident care activities (dressing, bathing/showering, personal
hygiene, changing linens, assisting with toileting, perineal/incontinent care, medical device care or use,
wound care), no room restriction and may participate in communal activities. Use a mask, goggles/eye
shield as indicated.
-Assess the resident for risk factors or current injuries or treatments that could put the patient at risk for
infection (wounds, central lines, drains, catheters, tracheostomy).
-Place on Enhanced Barrier Precautions, ensure a sign is placed on the door to notify staff and visitors of
the precautionary measures.
During an observation/interview on 6/16/24 at 03:19pm, this surveyor noticed a covered empty needle
syringe on Resident #273's dresser approximately 5 to 6 feet away from Resident #273's bed. Resident
#273 stated he did not know how long that needle had been there and could not say who could have left it
there. Resident #273 denied getting an injection and did not know why the needle syringe would be in his
room. Resident #273 denied touching it, stating he did not notice the needle syringe was even there.
In an interview on 06/16/24 at 03:21pm, LVN B, stated she was not aware there was a covered needle on
Resident 273's dresser. LVN B stated she got to work at 2:00pm and started her rounds in resident rooms
around 2:00pm and stated she peeked into Resident #273's room and did not see the needle. LVN B stated
all needles are to be disposed of in the sharp's container located on the nurse's cart.

LVN B stated she had no idea who could have left the needle in Resident #273's room or if it even belonged
to him. LVN B stated by the needle being in Resident's 273's room could possibly cause staff, visitors, or
other residents to get injured by getting poked and could cause an infection control issue. LVN B stated she

container.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 6/17/24 at 9:12am the DON stated, she did not now who was responsible for leaving the
needle syringe in Resident #273's room. The DON stated it could have been the previous night nurse (LVN
C) and stated possibly when LVN C went into the Resident #273's room to monitor the wound care vac,
LVN C could have placed the needle syringe down on the dresser to tend to the wound vac machine and
forgot to dispose the needle. The DON stated all sharps containers are located on the nurse's medication
carts. The DON stated by having a needle syringe in Resident #273's room, it was putting visitors,
residents, and staff at risk for injury or harm. The DON stated rounding is done by staff at a minimum of
every 2 hours and staff are supposed to look into the rooms, assess residents, and make sure everything is
in order. The DON stated staff should be going into resident rooms and not just peeking in.
The DON stated Crown Rounds are conducted every morning and throughout the day by administration to
ensure residents do not have any concerns and to identify anything out of the ordinary. The DON stated on
the weekends, the weekend supervisor should be conducting those rounds to ensure residents are
checked but was unsure if rounds were conducted on 6/16/24. The DON stated she was unsure when the
last in-service on rounding was.
This surveyor called LVN C on 6/18/24 at 2:30pm, 6/18/24 at 2:40pm, and on 6/18/24 at 2:49pm with no
answer, message left.
Record review of Medication Administration- Injectable Administration Policy dated 10/01/19 stated:
Policy
To administer medications via subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular routes in a safe, accurate and
effective matter.
Procedure
Dispose of syringe in a sharps container and supplies in a appropriate waste container.
