Resident #2 had diagnoses which included Vitamin D deficiency (deficiency that may cause skin to become dry and flakey) and Diabetes (a condition where the body cannot regulate its blood sugar effectively). Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 4/23/25, revealed:He scored an 8 of 15 on his Brief Mental Status exam, which indicated he was moderately cognitively impaired.Resident #2 did not receive any Skin Treatments.

The DON stated it helped, but Resident #2 did not like to take showers. The DON said Resident #2 had a diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis, which meant the skin did not want to detach the way it should. The DON said Resident #2 stated he had a history of skin cancer years ago, but she did not follow up with Resident #2's responsible party to confirm that the information. The DON stated it did not look like Resident #2's skin condition was care planned. The DON said if the facility was doing the lotion as a treatment it should be care planned. The DON stated she had been at the facility six weeks and had not had a chance to review charts, so she did not know why the care plan was missed. The DON said the order for the lotion was signed on 6/8/25 so the facility had a month to get it into the care plan.

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 one (Resident #7) of two residents reviewed for infection control practices. LVN A failed to sanitize the glucometer with a germicidal wipe after she performed a blood sugar check on Resident #7. This failure could affect the residents by placing them at risk for the spread of infection. Finding include: Record review of Resident #7's admission record, dated 07/24/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #7 had diagnoses which included diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic kidney disease. Record review of Resident #7's Medication Order summary, dated 07/24/25, revealed she received Insulin Solution (Insulin Asp art) subcutaneously before meals and at bedtime per sliding scale related to type 2 diabetes mellitus. During an observation and interview on 07/23/2025 at 4:14 PM, revealed LVN A used a glucometer to perform a blood sugar check on Resident #7 in her room. After the nurse checked the resident's blood sugar she went to her medication cart, cleaned and sanitized the glucometer with an alcohol prep pad. LVN A said she normally used alcohol prep pads to clean and sanitize the glucometer. She said as far as she knew that was an acceptable way to sanitize the glucometer. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 4:55 PM, the DON said the nurse was not supposed to use an alcohol prep pad but instead they were supposed to use the germicidal wipes. The DON said if the nurse did not use the germicidal wipes it could lead to cross contamination and the spread of infections. The DON said she had not noticed the nurses not using the germicidal wipes and would be conducting more training. During an interview on 07/24/2025 at 3:46 PM, the Administrator said the nurse should have used the germicidal type of wipe to sanitize the glucometer to properly sanitize the glucometer. She said the germicidal was used to spread of germs and infections. Review of the facility's, undated, policy titled Glucometer indicated in part: Maintenance 2. Meter will be cleaned with a germicidal and allowed to air dry between patient testings.
