said Resident #1 did not have a history of seizures. She stated she was aware that she had been
wandering at the facility and had a wander guard. She stated that wander guard was used so she would not
leave out of the door. She walked in circles both day and night. She had late-stage Alzheimer disease. She
had gone into other resident's rooms a few times. She had no history of leaving the building. She said she
was not a fall risk. She stated that she had been told by hospital staff that the labs showed she had a small
amount of the hand sanitizer in her system, not enough to harm her.
An interview with RN A on 3/31/2025 at 3:48pm stated that she had been employed for two to three weeks,
and worked the 8a-5pm shift M-F. She stated that she was the unit manager. She said the charge nurse
(LVN A) told her that Resident #1 had drank hand sanitizer or at least that hand sanitizer was all over her
shirt. She said she called Poison Control and was provided a case number. LVN A worked Hall 4 and was
familiar with the residents' behavior. She stated when she spoke with the doctor, she was told to monitor
and if her vitals changed to call him back. She said LVN A called the doctor the second time to let him know
she was hard to awaken and that her blood sugar was higher than normal. She said drinking ethyl alcohol
could have had the resident inebriated, or it could have gotten in her eyes and that would have been bad,
death if someone were to drink a whole lot of it. She was not sure what sized bottle the resident had. She
stated she had conducted an in-service on 3/17/2025 about patient safety and hazardous material storage.
An interview on 3/31/2025 at 4:05pm, Physician A stated that he was notified about Resident #1 drinking
the hand sanitizer. He said at the time no one told him how much. He said they called poison control, and
they told the nurse to just monitor. He said when they called him back about her being hard to awaken, he
told them to send her out to the hospital for precaution. He said hand sanitizer could affect the liver. He said
the hospital said she did not have much and was not deemed harmful at least, he repeated her labs, and
they were pretty good. It is unknown how much she drank. No long-term effects from it. Labs were not
abnormal from drinking the hand sanitizer. She was at her baseline. He said the only recommendation for
her wandering and seeking items that might be harmful is supervising her. He said they need to monitor her
closely. He said everyone knows her. Everyone was watching out for her. He said she wander ed but mostly
sit in the lobby. He said the key was monitoring her.
An interview with LVNA on 4/1/2025 at 10:36am, she said she had been a nurse for 40 years. She had
been an employee for about 6 months. She worked here from 2000-2005 and she just came back. She
stated that CMA A alerted her that Resident #1 had drank hand sanitizer. She had it on her shirt. She talked
with the unit manager (RN A); she called poison control and the doctor. She was told to monitoring her. She
watched her for a change in condition. She said Resident #1 went to the front lobby to sit as she usually
does then she was alerted by the receptionist that she could not awake her. She said the Resident had
been in the lobby about 30-40 minutes. She said she took her vitals and blood sugar was out of baseline
(200was not usually more than 140. She was taken to the room, and she called Physician A and he said to
send her out 911. She said the hand sanitizer was usually in the locked cart. She was walking on the hall
when CMA A saw Resident #1 with the bottle in her hand and it was on her chest. They assumed that she
drank it. It looks like a brand-new bottle. No hand sanitizer was on her face, and she did not smell it on her
breathe. When EMS arrived, she wanted to eat, and her tray was already on the tray table. She began to
fight as she wanted to eat. She said she got a report from the DON that Resident #1';s sodium was high
and no trace of the hand sanitizer from the blood test. Sodium level was 160 when she got to the hospital.
She does have a diagnosis of renal disease. One intervention they put in place was to give her a bottled
water. She walked around with it in her hand all day drinking along the way.
