She stated that she expected staff to store chemicals correctly. She also added that she had not gotten this staff rotation/shift (9/20/23) trained yet regarding the storage of chemicals in baths. Record review of the facility's current undated guidelines titled TELS Masters, F689 Accidents - Water Temperatures, revealed the following documentation, F689 - Description - the facility must ensure that the resident environment remains free of accident hazards as is possible, and each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents. Purpose - the purpose of recording your water temperatures is to assure the surveyor that your facility is remaining as free from accidental burns and scalds as possible, and that any issues are addressed in a prompt and consistent manner. Surveyors will often test water temperatures at hand sinks, and bathing tubs with a thermometer if they hold their hands under the water and feel it is too hot or note their skin turning red. Common causes - a common cause of tap water burns to the elderly, include slipping and falling in the bathing tub and not being able to get back up. Residents may also not check the water before touching it. Other causes could come from mechanical issues such as temperature changes that occur when the water is being used in other areas of the building, or a plumbing malfunction that causes a sudden burst of scalding water. Please note that long-term care residents may be more susceptible to burns than other individuals due to several factors. These include decreased skin sensitivity, communication abilities, and the inability to react quickly when exposed to hot water. State Regulations - F689 is typically enforced by the state department of health. Each state will have its own regulations on maximum water, temperature allowed, but it typically will fall between 105 to 115° F. Check with your surveyor . To gain even more efficiencies, TELS recommends using TELS mobile to record your water temperatures as you perform the testing. After you've tested the water, record the temperature readings in the attached log and note any concerns in the comment section. You can continue this process until all areas requiring testing are complete. Task Instructions. The rest of the temperature location suggested below may not apply to your type of facility. Please check with your regional support staff. 1. For burn prevention, federal guidelines advise that you keep domestic water temperature is below 120°F, although this temperature can still cause burns if exposure reaches five minutes. Many states have even stricter standards that set maximum temperatures lower than 120°F. Although 100°F is considered a safe water temperature for bathing. 2. Test temperature in shower areas. 3. Test temperatures at the mixing valve. 4. Check resident rooms at the end of each wing on a rotating basis or per facility policy. 5. Common area bathrooms, public bathrooms, and any other area having sinks should be checked and recorded as well.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some injury has occurred. Because they have poor microcirculation, heat is removed from burned tissue rather slowly compared to younger adults . People With Disabilities or Special Needs .Individuals who may have physical, mental or emotional challenges or require some type of assistance from caregivers are at high risk for all types of burn injuries including scalds sensory impairments can result in decreased sensation especially to the hands .so the person may not realize if something is too hot. Changes in a person ' s perception, memory, judgment or awareness may hinder the person ' s ability to recognize a dangerous situation .or respond appropriately to remove themselves from danger . Further review of the Guide revealed that 100 degree F. water was a safe temperature for bathing. Water at 120 degrees F. would cause a third degree burn (full thickness burn) in 5 minutes and 124 degrees F. water would cause a third degree burn in 3 minutes. The Guide further documented that water at 127 degrees F. caused third degree burns in 1 minute and water at 133 degrees F. caused third degree burns within 15 seconds.
