Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for one of one kitchen reviewed for kitchen sanitation, in that: The facility failed to ensure a 50-pound bag of onions was stored properly in the dry storage area. The deficient practice placed residents who were served from the kitchen at risk for health complications and foodborne illnesses.
Findings include: During an observation on 8/18/2023 at 12:22 p.m., in the kitchen hallway leading to the outside, a 50-pound netted bag of yellow onions was seen sitting directly on the floor. The netted bag was on the floor and the floor was observed to have debris on it. The bag was propped up against a wall that had visible dirt on it as well as brown stains near the base and a rusty nail laying between the bag and the base of the wall. During an interview on 8/18/2023 at 12:22 p.m., the Dietary Manager was shown the bag of onions on the floor and stated, I know, I know. She stated they just had a truck come in earlier that morning. She stated they had been short staffed and had not had time to put the onions away. She stated the facility policy states nothing (food) is to be stored on the floor. She stated the onions could get dirty, could get bugs in it, and could make the residents sick. Review of the facility policy Dry Food and Supplies Storage dated 11/15/2017 reflected The focus of protection for dry storage is to keep non-refrigerated food, disposable dishware, and napkins in a clean, dry area, which is free from contaminants. Food and food products should always be kept off the floor and clear of ceiling sprinklers, sewer/waste, disposal pipes and vents to maintain food quality and prevent contamination.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 establish and 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 1 of 2 residents (Resident #4) reviewed for blood sugar checks.
Residents Affected - Few
LVN A failed to appropriately sanitize her hands with ABHR and failed to appropriately clean Resident #4's finger with an alcohol pad before performing a blood sugar check. This failure could result in the spread of diseases to residents which could result in decreased quality of life, illness, and hospitalization.
Findings include: Review of Resident #4's face sheet dated 8/18/2023, reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: Type 2 Diabetes (blood sugar disorder), Heart Disease, Hypertension (high blood pressure), Stroke, Chronic Kidney Disease, Hyperlipidemia (elevated levels of cholesterol), Anemia (low red blood cells) and Vascular Dementia (brain damage caused by strokes). Review of Resident #4's MDS dated [DATE] reflected in the Staff Assessment for Mental Status that resident had a short- and long-term memory problem. During a blood sugar observation on 8/18/2023 at 11:22 a.m., LVN A applied ABHR to her hands and then began fanning her hands in the air to dry them. LVN A then took an alcohol prep pad and wiped Resident #4's fingertip in preparation of a blood sugar check. Immediately after wiping Resident #4's fingertip, LVN A began fanning her hand over the fingertip to dry it. During an interview on 8/18/2023 at 11:25 a.m., LVN A stated she was not sure what the facility policy was for checking blood sugars. She stated she was not sure if the policy said you could fan your hands around in the air or fan a resident's finger after wiping with alcohol pad. She stated she had received training on infection control but was not aware if she could not fan her hands in the air to dry them. She stated she was not aware if it's allowed or not, it's just a habit I have. She was not able to verbalize the procedure for properly using ABHR to sanitize one's hands. She stated it could be an infection control issue for the resident. During an interview won 8/18/2023 at 2:14 p.m., the DON stated her expectation around blood sugar checks is that the nurse would not fan their hands because it doesn't allow time for the sanitizer to work if they don't let it dry without fanning. She stated it would be an infection control issue. She stated the same with a resident's finger, after wiping with an alcohol prep pad - they should not fan it; they should let it dry then take the blood sugar. She stated a negative outcome could be that it doesn't fully disinfect the site prior to puncturing the skin. Review of facility policy Hand Hygiene dated 2/11/2022 reflected: 4. Hand hygiene technique when using an alcohol-based hand rub: a. Apply to palm of one hand the amount of product recommended by the manufacturer. B. Rub hands together, covering all surfaces of hands and fingers until hands feel dry. C. This should take about 20 seconds.
