Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident would not be
allowed to take medications left at bedside without a physician's order and without being assessed to
determine if the resident was capable to self-administer medications for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 41).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of Resident 41's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/2/2018 with
diagnoses including gastroesophageal reflux disease (occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back
into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach) and Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes
unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and
coordination).
A review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 9/20/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated Resident 41 needed one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, dressing,
toilet use, and personal hygiene; and required setup and supervision with eating.
A review Resident 41's Physician's Order dated 6/30/2020 to 12/20/2022 indicated calcium carbonate (a
type of medication used to treat symptoms caused by too much stomach acid such as heartburn) 500
milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement of weight) by mouth once a day at 8:30 a.m.
A review of Resident 41's Physician's Order dated 8/31/2021 to 12/20/2022 indicated docusate sodium (a
type of medication used to treat constipation) 100 mg by mouth once a day at 8:30 a.m.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2022 at 10:58 a.m., in Resident 41's room,
observed two medication cups at the bedside. Resident 41 stated one medication cup had Tums (brand
name for calcium carbonate) and Colace (brand name for docusate sodium); the resident stated those
medications were from 12/18/2022 around 8 a.m. when her nurse dropped them off. The resident stated the
second medication cup had tums that was dropped off to her by her nurse on 12/19/2022 around 8 a.m.
The resident stated it was up to her if she wanted to take those medications at a later time.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/22/2022 at 11:30 a.m. Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1)
stated Resident 41 did not have self-administration assessment for Colace, Tums, and other tablets before
12/19/2022. RN 1 stated the resident should not have had medications at the bedside without
self-administration assessment. RN 1 stated the facility must know that the resident was aware the kind of
medications she was supposed to take and when to take the medications. RN 1 stated the facility should
have done the assessment and care planning with the resident first. RN 1 stated the

resident was placed at risk for missed doses and untreated condition. RN 1 stated the resident did not have
a physician's order to self-administer medications but should have had one. RN 1 stated without the
physician's order, the facility cannot implement leaving medications at the bedside if the doctor did not
order it.

indicated, The purpose of this policy is to establish uniform guidelines concerning the self-administration of
medication . Medications allowed to be left at bedside may be done only on the specific order of the
physician . Residents/patients who wish to administer their own medications must be assessed for
competency before they will be granted approval to do so .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a call light (a device
used by a patient to signal his or her need for assistance from a professional staff) was within reach for one
of one sampled resident (Resident 9).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had placed Resident 9 at risk for injury for not having a way to reach staff when help
is needed.
Findings:
A review of Resident 9's Face Sheet admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident
on 12/14/2021 and readmitted the resident on 2/9/2022 with diagnoses including cerebrovascular accident
(CVA - also known as stroke or brain attack; is an interruption in the blood flow to cells in the brain) and
type 2 diabetes mellitus (a condition that affects the way the body regulates and uses blood sugar).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/6/2022, indicated the resident had a severe cognitive (relating to thinking, reasoning, or
remembering) impairment (loss or damage). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required one-person extensive
assistance with bed mobility, two-person total assistance with transfer, and one-person total assistance with
dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 9's Care Plan with start date 1/6/2022 and edited on 12/21/2022, indicated the
resident had a fall and the family removing the call light during visit. The Care Plan indicated the resident's
family was educated about the importance of keeping the call light within the resident's reach. The Care
Plan also indicated frequent monitoring and checking of the placement of the call light by staff when the
resident is in the room or bed.
During an observation on 12/19/2022 at 10:50 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed the resident's call light
in bed not within the resident's reach while the resident sat in his wheelchair in front of the television.
During a second observation on 12/20/2022 at 10:39 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed the resident's
call light in bed not within the resident's reach while the resident sat in his wheelchair in front of the
television.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 10:45 a.m., in Resident 9's room,
observed with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) the resident's call light in bed not within the resident's
reach while the resident sat in his wheelchair. LVN 1 stated the resident's call light was in bed but should
have been within the resident's reach. LVN 1 stated the resident would not be able to reach the call light to
call for help. LVN 1 stated the resident was able to use his arms and able to use the call light sometimes.
During an interview on 12/20/2022 at 11:09 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) stated Resident 9
was able to use the call light sometimes. CNA 1 stated the resident's family was in the facility around 8:40
a.m. and took the resident around the building. CNA 1 stated she was not sure what time the resident's
family returned the resident back to the room.

During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 10:35 a.m., the Director of Education (DOE) stated the call light
should always be within a resident's reach. The DSD stated the purpose of the call light was for a resident
to be able to call for help when help was needed. The DSD stated when the call light was not within
Resident 9's reach, the resident's needs would not be met because he would not be able to call, and this
placed the resident at risk of feeling isolated. The DOE stated when the resident's family took the resident
outside, this did not relieve the facility of any responsibility of ensuring that the call light was placed within
the resident's reach after the family left.
During a third observation and concurrent interview on 12/21/2022 at 9:22 a.m., in Resident 9's room,
observed with CNA 2 the resident's call light was in bed under a pillow while the resident sat in his
wheelchair in front of the television. CNA 2 stated the resident did not have his call light within reach but
should have been within the resident's reach. Observed CNA 2 gave the call light to the resident and the
resident held the call light with his right hand.
During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 3:54 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if Resident 9 was in
his room, he should have had the call light within his reach. The DON stated it was still the facility's
responsibility to ensure the resident had the call light and frequently checked on the resident to make sure
the family did not remove the call light. The DON stated not having the call light within the resident's reach
placed the resident at risk for fall or injury.
A review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Answering Call Lights, dated 10/2022, indicated,
When the resident/patient is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the
resident/patient .

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** c. A review of
Resident 53's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance) indicated the
facility admitted the resident on 11/10/2022 with diagnoses that included bacterial infection (when bacteria
enter the body causing a reaction in the body).
A review of Resident 53's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 11/16/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive
assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
On 12/21/2022 at 10:16 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Minimum Data Set
Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1) verified that the resident's Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST
- a written medical order that helps give people with serious illnesses more control over their own care by
specifying the types of medical treatment they want to receive during serious illness), dated 11/10/2022,
indicated that the section addressing advance directives was left blank. MDSC 1 also verified that the
Social Service Initial Assessment (a report written by Social Services evaluating a resident's educational,
mental health, substance abuse, or occupational needs), dated 11/12/2022, did not address discussing
advance directives with the resident.
On 12/21/2022 at 10:38 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Social Services Designee 1
(SSD 1) stated that the topic of advance directives are first discussed with residents during their initial
Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - an approach to healthcare that integrates multiple disciplines through
collaboration) meeting. Upon review of her notes, SSD 1 stated the resident does not have an advance
directive. SSD 1 stated that, if a resident state they do not have one, the facility will offer to help them
formulate one. SSD 1 stated she could not find any documentation indicating that this was done.
On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the admissions
office is responsible for taking care of advance directives before the resident is even admitted . The DON
stated that the Advance Directive Acknowledgement Form should be included with the resident's admission
packet, but she did not see it included in the packet. The DON stated they do not discuss advance
directives with short-term residents because they are only going to be in the facility for two or three weeks.
The DON stated she was unsure of what their policy was regarding advance directives. The DON stated
that advance directives are important because it helps the facility know what to do in terms of medical
treatment if the resident were to become incompetent. The DON stated they would not want to go against
the resident's wishes.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Advance Directives, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated
that a resident's choice about advance directives will be respected. Prior to, or upon admission, the
admissions staff will ask residents and/or their family members about the existence of any advance
directives.
d. A review of Resident 166's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/8/2022 with
diagnoses that included displaced intertrochanteric fracture (when the bone breaks into pieces that move
out of their normal alignment) of the left femur (thigh bone).

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to inform residents and their
responsible party about their right to formulate an advance directive (a written statement of a person's
wishes regarding medical treatment) upon admission for four out of ten (Resident 12, Resident 53,
Resident 166, and Resident 212) sampled residents investigated for advance directives.
This deficient practice violated the residents' and/or the representatives' right to be fully informed of the
option to formulate their advance directives and had the potential to cause conflict with the residents'
wishes regarding their health care.
Findings:

and readmitted the resident on 6/15/2022 with diagnoses that included dysphagia (swallowing difficulties),
chronic kidney disease (a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as
they should), and essential (primary) hypertension (blood pressure that is higher than normal).
A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 10/25/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others
sometimes. The MDS indicated Resident 12 required extensive assistance with eating, bed mobility, toilet
use; and total assistance with transfers. The MDS indicated advance directive was not completed.

Residents Affected - Few
Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident had a comprehensive care
plan (contains relevant information about a patient's diagnosis, the goals of treatment, the specific nursing
orders, and an evaluation plan) addressing her use of insulin (a hormone that controls the amount of
glucose [sugar] in the bloodstream) and antidepressant (medication used to treat depression [a mood
disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest] for one (Resident 165) out of five
sampled residents investigated for unnecessary medications.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in failure to deliver the necessary care and services.
Findings:
A review of Resident 165's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance)
indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on 12/3/2022 and readmitted the resident on 12/3/2022
with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM - an impairment in the way the body regulates
and uses sugar as a fuel) and depression.
A review of Resident 165's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/12/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive
assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the corridor, locomotion on the unit, dressing,
eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 165's Physician Order Report (document summarizing the resident's physician's
orders) indicated the following orders:
1. Humulin R Regular U-100 insulin (a short-acting insulin that starts to work in 30 minutes) 100 units/mL
(units per milliliter - the unit of measure for insulin), sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin based on blood
sugar level), ordered on 12/3/2022.
2. Novolin N (an intermediate-acting insulin that works more slowly but lasts longer than regular insulin)
Flexpen (a syringe pre-filled with insulin) 100 units/mL, 38 units subcutaneous (under the skin) for
diagnosis of DM, ordered on 12/3/2022.
3. Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate - medication used to treat depression and anxiety [a mental disorder
characterized by feelings of excessive uneasiness and apprehension]) 10 milligrams (mg) oral (by mouth)
for depression manifested by (m/b) verbalization of depressed feeling affecting activities of daily living
(ADLs - basic tasks a person needs to be able to do on their own to live independently), once a day,
ordered on 12/14/2022.
On 12/21/2022 at 10:34 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Minimum Data Set
Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1) stated she could not find any care plans addressing the resident's use of insulin
and Lexapro.
On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it is important to
have a specific care plan if a resident is taking Lexapro or insulin. The DON stated it was important to list
the specific side effects of the medications that the nurses needed to look out for.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on interview and record review, the facility`s interdisciplinary team (a group of experts from various
disciplines working together to treat ailment, injury, or chronic health condition) failed to involve the resident
or her family member in the Resident Care Plan Review related to diet changes and food preferences for
one of two (Resident 50) investigated under the care area nutrition.
This deficient practice deprived the resident's right to make food choices or make her preferences known
which could lead to resident not enjoying an appetizing meal.
Findings:
A review of Resident 50`s Face Sheet indicated that the facility admitted the resident on 03/24/2022 with
diagnoses that included end-stage renal disease ( a medical condition in which a person's kidneys cease
functioning on a permanent basis), hypertension (high blood pressure), and major depressive disorder (a
mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities,
causing significant impairment in daily life).
A review of Resident 50's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated
9/23/2022, indicated Resident 50's cognitive skills (relating to thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning,
and remembering) for daily decision-making is was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident
50 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 50`s Nutritional Status Care Plan (CP), dated 6/14/2022 indicated a problem of
nutritional alteration and nutritional risk related to older age, poor oral intake, and underweight among
others. Outlined in the CP are Approaches,' including obtain food preferences from resident/relatives.
During a concurrent record review and interview, on 12/21/2022 at 10:10 a.m., reviewed with Registered
Nurse 1 (RN 1) Resident 50`s CP on Nutritional Status, which included an intervention or approach to
obtain food preferences from resident/relatives. RN 1 stated that during care plan review, the facility will
invite the resident or family member to discuss resident`s food preferences because this might help if the
resident is losing weight. According to RN 1, a care plan must be person-centered wherein the resident`s
wishes are taken into consideration and honored if within the physician`s diet order.
A review of Resident 50`s Resident Care Plan Review, dated 9/21/2022, under Notification of Care
Plan/MDS Review/Care Plan Meeting, indicated that Resident 50 or any her contacts listed in the Face
Sheet were not notified or invited in the Care Plan review.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure dated 10/2022, titled Care Plans- Comprehensive, indicated
that an individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet
the resident/patient`s medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs is developed for each resident. The
facility`s care planning/interdisciplinary team, in coordination with the resident/patient, his/her family or
representative, develops and maintains a comprehensive care plan for each resident/patient that identifies
the highest level of functioning the resident/patient may be expected to attain.

Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who required
assistance with nail trimming was provided care and services to maintain good personal hygiene for one of
one sampled resident (Resident 35) investigated under the care area activities of daily living (ADLactivities related to personal care).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a negative impact on the resident`s self- esteem due to
an unkempt appearance.
Findings:
A review of Resident 35`s Face Sheet indicated that the facility admitted the resident on 04/21/2022 with
diagnoses that included muscle weakness, benign prostatic hyperplasia (age-associated prostate gland
[gland in the male reproductive system] enlargement), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe).
A review of Resident 35's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated
10/27/2022, indicated the resident's cognitive skills (thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning, and
remembering) for daily decision making was is intact. The MDS indicated Resident 35 required extensive
assistance for bed mobility, transfer, and dressing; and was totally dependent on staff for eating, toilet use,
personal hygiene, and bathing.
A review of Resident 35 `s Care Plan (CP-a formal process that correctly identifies existing needs and
recognizes potential needs or risks) dated 11/8/2022, indicated a a problem of self-care deficit related to
general functional decline due to disease process. The CP outlined several approaches including to provide
appropriate level of care to meet resident`s needs such as assistance with bed mobility, transfers, eating,
locomotion, dressing, personal hygiene, toileting, and bathing.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2022 at 10:40 a.m., observed Resident 35 in his
room sitting on a wheelchair watching television. Resident 35 stated that he had asked the staff to cut his
fingernails but stated they do not have the time to do it. According to the resident, it will look cleaner and
nicer if his fingernails were clean and short. The Director for Education (DOE) came to the room, made the
same observation that Resident 35`s fingernails were long, and stated that the certified nurse assistants
(CNAs) are supposed to have trimmed the resident`s fingernails as part of their activities of daily living
(ADL- activities related to personal care. They include bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of
bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating) care. According to the DOE, residents should have their
nails trimmed and cleaned to prevent infection and prevent residents` from accidentally injuring themselves
when they are scratching.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Hygiene and Grooming, last reviewed in October 2022,
indicated that residents who are dependent in grooming shall have their nails cleaned at least weekly and
clipped as necessary.

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of
nutritional status for one of two (Resident 212) sampled residents by failing to serve the proper diet as the
physician had ordered.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 212 not receiving the ordered nutrients.
Findings:
A review of Resident 212's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/30/2022 with
diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe on
your own) with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in your body tissues), cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), and
metabolic encephalopathy (a problem in the brain caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood).
A review of Resident 212's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/6/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others
sometimes. The MDS indicated Resident 212 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, and
toilet use.
A review of Resident 212's Physician Orders dated 12/9/2022 indicated fortified diet (foods to which extra
nutrients have been added) and ensure (nutritional supplement) twice a day (BID) in between meals.
A review of Resident 212's Resident Care Plan Review dated 12/6/2022 indicated the resident's current
weight on 12/3/2022 was 113 pounds (unit of measuring weight); diet was fortified, mechanical soft; and
meal intakes averaged at 34 percent (%).
A review of the Resident Progress Notes dated 12/8/2022, indicated Resident 212 continued to have poor
intake with diet fortified upon admission as higher kilocalories (kcal-a unit of energy) would benefit resident
to prevent undesired weight loss. The progress notes indicated the recommendation for ensure two times
between meals, prostat (supplement) daily for wound healing.
During a concurrent dining observation and interview on 12/19/2022 at 12:33 p.m., observed Resident
212's lunch tray with lunch slip indicating fortified mashed potatoes. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 5)
verified that the lunch slip indicated fortified mashed potatoes but there were none on Resident 212's tray.
CNA 5 stated fortified potatoes are enriched with additional nutrients. CNA 5 stated Resident 212 should
have gotten the fortified potatoes and if the resident does not, it can affect her nutrition and/or weight.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 8:30 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA 6), observed CNA 6 give Resident 212 her breakfast tray. Resident 212 opened the tray and stated
that was not what she eats and refuses to eat it, and that was not what she likes. Resident 212 stated she
usually gets hard boiled eggs. A review of the meal slip indicated it was under a different resident's name.
CNA 6 verified that Resident 212 was given her roommate's tray. CNA 6 stated if Resident 212 does not get
her preferred meal, the resident may not eat and can be at risk of losing weight and not getting the
adequate nutrients.

During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:47 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT addressed
Resident 212 not having the fortified mashed potatoes. The AIT stated Resident 212 was getting fortified
foods so the resident does not lose weight and to give the resident additional supplement and nutrients.
The AIT stated the switching of trays was a concern. The AIT stated the resident would not eat the meal
and if she was on weight management, it would be a concern. If those issues happen consecutively,
Resident 212 could possibly lose weight per the AIT.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 12:11 p.m., with Dietary Technician (DT), DT stated Resident 212
should be getting her fortified mashed potatoes. DT stated the resident was on fortified diet because the
resident was a picky eater and there was a concern for weight loss. DT stated an additional 100 calories
was ordered for Resident 212 with all meals. According to DT, Resident 212 receiving a switched tray can
be a concern for the resident's weight as the resident may not get her needed calorie intake and this can be
a concern with weight loss. DT stated they are currently serving fortified food and shakes and observing the
resident's meal preferences.
A review of facility policy and procedure titled Resident Food Preferences, last revised on in 10/2022,
indicated nutritional assessments will include an evaluation of individual food preferences. The clinical
dietician and nursing staff, assisted by the physician, will identify any nutritional issues or dietary restriction
that might affect the facility's efforts to accommodate residents/patient preferences.
A review of the facility policy and procedures titled Physician Orders, last reviewed in 10/2022, indicated the
facility shall ensure that all physician orders are completely and accurately implemented .

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to administer hydralazine a medication used to treat
high blood pressure and heart failure) per physician's order when the systolic blood pressure (SBPmeasures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) readings were above 160 millimeters of
mercury (mmHg- to measure the pressure in the blood vessels) or the diastolic blood pressure (DBPmeasures the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats) readings were below 90 mmHg
for one out of one sampled resident (Resident 57).
This deficient practice resulted to inappropriate management of Resident 57`s hypertension (a condition in
which the force of the blood against the artery walls was too high) which could result to cerebrovascular
accident (CVA- also known as stroke, damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply).
Findings:
A review of Resident 57`s Face Sheet indicated that the facility originally admitted the resident on
08/07/2020 and readmitted the resident on 10/07/2022 with diagnoses that included muscle weakness,
benign prostatic hyperplasia (age-associated prostate gland [gland in the male reproductive system]
enlargement, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and hypertensive chronic kidney disease (high blood
pressure constricts and narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the kidneys).
A review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated
08/13/2022, indicated the resident's cognitive skills (include thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning,
and remembering) for daily decision-making was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 57 required extensive
assistance for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene; and was totally dependent on
staff for bathing.
On 12/22/22 at 8:08 a.m., during a record review and concurrent interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1),
RN 1 indicated a physician`s order dated 5/17/2022 for hydralazine 100 milligrams (mg-unit of measure) by
mouth twice a day if SBP is over 160 mmHg or DBP below 90 mmHg; may repeat dosage after one hour if
blood pressure parameter are still high for diagnosis of hypertension. A review of the Medication
Administration Record (MAR) for the months of September 2022 and October 2022 indicated that
hydralazine was not administered despite that Resident 57`s blood pressure were high on the following
dates:
1. 165/70 mmHg on 9/20/2022 at 8:30 a.m.
2. 165/80 mmHg on 9/24/2022 at 8:30 a.m.
3. 183/60 mmHg on 9/29/2022 at 8:30 a.m.
4. 164/73 mmHg on 10/01/2022 at 8:30 a.m.
According to RN 1, hydralazine was not administered on the above dates. RN 1 stated that hydralazine
helps lower blood pressure and if the blood pressure is high and Resident 57 is not medicated, the resident
could suffer from stroke or CVA.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
b. A review of Resident 166's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/8/2022 with
diagnoses that included anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident 166's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/14/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive
assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the corridor, locomotion on the unit, dressing,
toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 166's Physician's Orders, dated 12/8/2022, indicated an order for Xanax (alprazolam used to treat anxiety and panic disorders) 0.5 milligrams (mg-unit of measure) by mouth (PO) every 6 hours
(q6h) as needed (PRN) for anxiety manifested by (m/b) hyperventilation (rapid or deep breathing, usually
caused by anxiety or panic).
On 12/21/2022 at 11:52 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Minimum Data Set
Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1) stated that the resident's order for Xanax was as needed. MDSC 1 stated there
was no stop date (date at which the physician's order will be discontinued) indicated on the order. MDSC 1
stated that it should have only been ordered for 14 days.
On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated there should be a
stop date after 14 days for psychotropic medications. The DON stated this was important because the
facility would want to review if the medication was effective or not.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, PRN Psychotropic Medications, last reviewed on
10/2022, indicated that it is the policy of the facility to provide PRN psychotropic medications with
adherence to regulations and standards of practice. PRN orders for psychotropic drugs, that are not
antipsychotics, are limited to 14 days. If order needs to be extended, the physician should document their
rationale in the medical record and indicate the duration.
Based on interview and record review, the facility:
1. Failed to monitor adverse side effects (any unexpected or dangerous reaction to a drug) of Remeron (a
type of medication used to treat depression [a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness
and loss of interest]) from 12/29/2020 to 12/22/2022 for one of one sampled resident (Resident 7).
This deficient practice placed Resident 7 at risk for unidentified or unreported side effects of Remeron.
2. Ensure a resident's order for as needed (PRN) Xanax (used to treat anxiety [a persistent feeling of
anxiety or dread, which can interfere with daily life]) and panic disorders) was limited to 14 days for one
(Resident 166) out of five sampled residents investigated for unnecessary medications.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in use of unnecessary psychotropic (any drug that affects
behavior, mood, thoughts, or perception). medication for Resident 166, which can lead to side effects and
adverse consequence such as a decline in quality of life and functional capacity.

a. A review of Resident 7's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 6/12/2019
and readmitted the resident on 12/29/2020 with diagnoses including depression and bipolar disorder (a
mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings).
Residents Affected - Few
A review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 9/10/2022 indicated the resident had moderately impaired decision-making skills. The MDS indicated
Resident 7 required one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, and toilet use; required
two-person extensive assistance with transfer; required one-person supervision with eating; and required
one-person limited assistance with personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 7's current Physician's Order with start date of 12/29/2020 indicated monitor for
Remeron side effects every shift as needed.
A review of Resident 7's Medication Administration Record (MAR) from 8/1/2022 to 12/22/2022 indicated
no monitoring done for side effects of Remeron.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/22/2022 at 11:18 a.m., Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1)
stated Resident 7 did not have monitoring for adverse side effects of Remeron from 8/2022 to 12/2022 on
the MAR. RN 1 stated there should have been a monitoring for adverse side effects. RN 1 stated without
monitoring for adverse side effects, there was no way to know how the resident's body was reacting to the
medication. RN stated some of the adverse side effects of Remeron were dizziness, fatigue, vertigo (a
sensation of feeling off balance), tachycardia (fast heart rate), and hypotension (low blood pressure). RN 1
stated the resident was placed at risk for injury or falls.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/22/2022 at 1 p.m., RN 1 stated Resident 7 had not
been monitored for side effects of Remeron since it was ordered on 12/29/2020 because the order for
monitoring for adverse side effects was placed incorrectly; RN 1 stated the monitoring was ordered as
needed but should have been every shift.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Psychotropic Medication Assessment &
Monitoring, dated 10/2022, indicated, Psychotropic drugs are used only when necessary and then at the
lowest effective dose. Monitoring for drug side effects leads to early identification and reporting .

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. A review of
Resident 167's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance) indicated the
facility admitted the resident on 12/9/2022 with diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 167's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/16/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive
assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the corridor, locomotion on the unit, dressing,
toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 167's physician's orders, dated 12/14/2022, indicated an order for carvedilol 3.125
milligrams (mg-unit of measure) orally (by mouth) twice a day (BID) for a diagnosis of hypertension. Hold
(do not administer) for systolic blood pressure (SBP - indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting
against your artery walls when the heart beats) less than (<) 110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg - unit of
measurement for blood pressure) or pulse rate (PR - the number of times each minute that your heart
beats) < 60 beats per minute (bpm - unit of measurement for pulse). Give with food.
On 12/20/2022 at 3:56 p.m., during a medication administration observation, observed LVN 3 administer
medications to Resident 167. LVN 3 administered carvedilol 3.125 mg to the resident without any food or
apple sauce.
On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important to
follow the physician's order to take certain medications with food in order to prevent giving the resident an
upset stomach. The DON stated it was important to give the resident even something small to eat, like a
snack.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration - General Guidelines, last
reviewed on 10/2022, indicated that medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with good
nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so. Medications are
administered in accordance with written orders of the attending physician.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility:
1. Failed to Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) administered medications appropriately as
prescribed by the physician, for one of six (Residents 5) sampled residents observed during medication
pass observation. During medication pass observation, there were ten medication errors for Resident 5 for
a total of ten medication errors out of 33 opportunities. These medication administration errors resulted to a
medication error rate of 33.33 percent (%).
2. Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) administered carvedilol (used to treat high blood pressure
and heart failure) to a resident with food, as prescribed by the physician, for one (Resident 167) out six
sampled residents observed during medication administration.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in inconsistent medication administration, risks of
physical and chemical incompatibilities between the medications, and altered drug responses for the
residents.

a. A review of Resident 5's Face Sheet indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included essential (primary) hypertension (condition in which the
force of the blood against the artery walls is too high), peripheral vascular disease (circulatory condition in
which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs), and chronic kidney disease (a condition in
which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should).
Residents Affected - Some

medications to be crushed. LVN 5 stated not being sure if there was an order to crush the resident's
medications. LVN 5 then administered the medications, with no observation of vital signs (blood pressure
and heart rate) taken before administering the medications. LVN 5 provided the vital signs and stated she
used the vital signs taken at 7 a.m. by a certified nursing assistant.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 5's physician orders indicated no orders for the resident to have medications crushed.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:53 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated
there needs to be a doctor's order to crush and staff should contact the resident's doctor. The AIT stated for
all medications that were crushed together, she would assume they would need to be separated because of
possible drug interaction. The AIT stated if crushed medications are mixed with apple sauce, they would
have to give all the apple sauce to get all medications. The AIT stated the resident would not get full
medication if they mixed all meds and refused to take all of apple sauce, staff would not be able to
accurately document what medication the resident got.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 9:29 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
crushing of medication needs a doctor's order. The DON also stated if there was no order, the doctor would
not be aware and could not monitor for any interaction. The DON stated it is recommended to separately
crush each medication. The DON stated if medications are not separated and they spill, or if the resident
changes her mind, then staff would not be able to accurately document what medications were taken. The
DON stated that LVN 5 should have taken Resident 5's vital signs especially if it has been more than 30
minutes, because vital signs can change. The DON stated there was a parameter (limit or boundary) to be
followed to see if medications need to be held or given and so they need to have the most recent vital
signs. The DON stated if the resident's blood pressure was low, the medication can lower it causing a
negative effect on Resident 5.
A review of facility's policy and procedures titled Physician Orders, last revised in 10/2022, indicated facility
shall ensure that all physician orders are completely and accurately implemented, and all telephone orders
are signed in a timely manner. Medication orders will include the name of the medication, dosage,
frequency, and duration of order, if applicable, route, and the condition/diagnosis for which the medication is
ordered.
A review of facility's policy and procedures titled Medication Administration-General Guidelines, last revised
10/2022 indicated the need for crushing medications is indicated on the resident's orders and the
medication administration record (MAR) so that all personnel administering medications are aware of this
need and the consultant pharmacist can advise on safety issues and alternatives, if appropriate, during
medication regiment reviews.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adhere to medication storage for
one out of two medication storages (Taper 2 Medication Storage) observed during Medication
Storage/Labeling facility task when:
1. Probiotic (supplement) medication was noted inside Taper 2 Medication Storage with no resident
identifier.
This deficient practice had the potential for residents to receive medications which may have become
ineffective and are not intended for them which may lead to negative outcomes.
2. Wheelchair was observed stored inside Taper 2 Medication Storage.
This deficient practice had the potential for cross contamination (unintentional transfer of bacteria/germs or
other contaminants from one surface or substance to another) of medications inside the medication
storage.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 11:39 a.m., of Taper 2 Medication Storage
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), observed a locked cabinet with probiotic medication with no name
or resident identifier noted. LVN 1 verified there was no name on the probiotic. LVN 1 stated it was a
probiotic brought by a family member for a resident. LVN 1 stated there should be a name so that everyone
knows who it belongs to; if not, it can be thrown away or could possibly be given to the wrong resident. Also
observed a wheelchair noted with label indicating taper 2. LVN 1 stated there was no other storage room for
the wheelchair used for residents when they go out with family.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:53 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated the
probiotic in the medication storage not being labeled would require to be thrown away. The AIT stated all
medications should be labeled to avoid any confusion on who the medication belonged to as it can be given
to the wrong resident. The AIT stated the wheelchair in the medication storage is cleaned after every use;
the AIT cannot verify or provide documentation of the wheelchair being cleaned after each use.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 9:43 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated they
would be unable to verify who it belonged to as it had no name on it. The DON stated it can be given to the
wrong person or would not be used by the resident. The DON also stated items including the wheelchair
should not be in medication storage; the DON stated the medication storage is only for medications.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at11:43 a.m., with the Director of Education (DOE), the DOE stated that
only medications should be in the medication storage. The DOE stated the concern that only licensed
nurses can go into medication storage, not everyone should have access to the medication storage. The
DOE stated having the wheelchair in the medication storage is also a concern for infection control.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
b. A review of Resident 161's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance)
indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/7/2022 with diagnoses that included COVID-19 and type 2
diabetes mellitus (an impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as a fuel).
A review of Resident 161's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/11/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required limited
assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the room, locomotion on the unit, dressing, toilet
use, and personal hygiene.
On 12/19/2022 at 4:19 p.m., during an interview, Resident 161 stated he kept getting oatmeal, coffee, and
milk for breakfast, even though has repeatedly told staff he does not like those.
On 12/20/2022 at 11:06 a.m., during an interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) stated the resident
had oatmeal on his breakfast tray this morning, which she had to remove because the resident did not want
it.
On 12/21/2022 at 9:36 a.m., during an interview, Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) stated the resident
had oatmeal on his breakfast tray this morning, which she removed because the resident does not like
oatmeal.
On 12/22/2022 at 8:02 a.m., during an interview, the Dietary Supervisor (DS) stated they interviewed
residents to ask them about their food preferences. When asked if they ever went into the red zone, the DS
stated no, they do not go into the red zone. The DS stated if the resident is new and in the red zone, they
would not know his/her food preferences. The DS stated they would rely on the nurses in the red zone to
communicate to them the resident's likes/dislikes. The DS stated no one had communicated to her that
Resident 161 did not like oatmeal, coffee, or milk.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Resident Food Preferences, last reviewed on 10/2022,
indicated that nutritional assessments will include an evaluation of individual food preferences. Upon the
resident's admission, or within a reasonable time after his/her admission, the dietitian, dietary personnel or
nursing staff will identify a resident's food preferences. When possible, this will be done by direct interview
with the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to:
1. Provide one of two (Residents 212) sampled residents with the correct meal that accommodated her
food preferences.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in decreased meal intake and can lead to weight loss and
malnutrition (lack of proper nutrition).
2. Ensure nurses in the red zone (an area designated for residents who test positive for coronavirus
disease 2019 [COVID-19 - a respiratory disease caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2]) communicated a
resident's food preferences to the dietary staff for one (Resident 161) out of two sampled residents
investigated for food preferences.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0806
This deficient practice had the potential to affect the resident's nutritional intake.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Findings:
Residents Affected - Few
a. A review of Resident 212's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/30/2022 with
diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe on
your own) with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in your body tissues), cardiomegaly (an enlarged heart), and
metabolic encephalopathy (a problem in the brain caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood).
A review of Resident 212's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/6/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others
sometimes. The MDS indicated Resident 212 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, and
toilet use.
A review of Resident 212's Resident Care Plan Review dated 12/6/2022 indicated the resident's current
weight on 12/3/2022 was 113 pounds (unit of measuring weight); diet was fortified, mechanical soft; and
meal intakes averaged at 34 percent (%).
A review of the Resident Progress Notes dated 12/8/2022, indicated Resident 212 continued to have poor
intake with diet fortified upon admission as higher kilocalories (kcal-a unit of energy) would benefit resident
to prevent undesired weight loss. The progress notes indicated the recommendation for Recommended
ensure two times between meals, prostat (supplement) daily for wound healing.
A review of diet slip (meal slip) for breakfast dated 12/23/2022 indicated Resident 212 has a preference of
hard-boiled egg, banana, and yogurt plain for breakfast.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 8:30 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA 6), observed CNA 6 give Resident 212 her breakfast tray. Resident 212 opened the tray and stated
that was not what she eats and refuses to eat it, and that was not what she likes. Resident 212 stated she
usually gets hard boiled eggs. A review of the meal slip indicated it was under a different resident's name.
CNA 6 verified that Resident 212 was given her roommate's tray. CNA 6 stated if Resident 212 does not get
her preferred meal, the resident may not eat and can be at risk of losing weight and not getting the
adequate nutrients.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:47 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated the
switching of trays was a concern. The AIT stated the resident would not eat the meal and if she was on
weight management, it would be a concern. If those issues happen consecutively, Resident 212 could
possibly lose weight per the AIT.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 12:11 p.m., with Dietary Technician (DT), DT stated Resident 212
receiving a switched tray can be a concern for the resident's weight as the resident may not get her needed
calorie intake.
A review of facility policy and procedure titled Resident Food Preferences, last revised in 10/2022, indicated
nutritional assessments will include an evaluation of individual food preferences. The clinical dietician and
nursing staff, assisted by the physician, will identify any nutritional issues or dietary restriction that might
affect the facility's efforts to accommodate residents/patient preferences.

F 0812
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow safe food handling practices
by failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Ensure kitchen staff (Dietary Aide 1 [DA 1])wore a hairnet when in the food preparation area.
2. Ensure soiled plastic lids are discarded and not placed and stored alongside clean plastic cups and
clean plastic lids.
3. Ensure a vacuum packed peeled hard-boiled eggs is labeled with a best by date (indicates when a
product will be of best flavor or quality) or discard date.
4. Ensure the distribution of food was done under sanitary conditions for five of six resident trays when
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 5) was observed taking a tray out of the meal cart (transports meals from
the kitchen to the resident areas), placing it in a resident's room then taking the tray out to place back in the
meal cart with trays that had not yet been passed out.
These deficient practices placed the residents at risk for foodborne illness (an infection or irritation of the
gastrointestinal tract [including the stomach and intestines] caused by food or beverages that contain
harmful bacteria/germs, chemicals, or other organisms) with common symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,
stomach cramps, and diarrhea; and at risk for cross contamination (bacteria or other microorganisms are
unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another with harmful effect).
Findings:
a. On 12/19/2022 at 8:37 a.m., during an observation and concurrent interview, in the presence of Dietary
Supervisor 1 (DS 1), observed Dietary Aide 1 (DA 1) wearing a beanie while in the food dispensary room.
DA 1 stated that breakfast had been served and the steamer was already turned off but there was still food
on top of the steam table. According to DA 1 when food is brought up from the kitchen, it will be placed in
the steamer before placing the food on styrofoam box and dispensed for serving. DA 1 stated he does not
use a hair restraint or hairnet when preparing and dispensing the food but was currently using a beanie.
According to DS 1, kitchen staff must wear hairnet to keep hair from falling onto the food. DS 1 checked the
hairnet holder by the wall which was empty.
On 12/19/2022 at 08:50 a.m., while proceeding with the kitchen observation accompanied by DS 1,
observed in the hallway leading to the kitchen several boxes of plastic cups and plastic lids with one box
open. Upon closer inspection, observed an open bag of plastic lids with wet brown stains on the surface of
the bag. Also observed that two of the plastic lids inside the bag were wet with brown stains. According to
DS 1, the plastic lids should be thrown out as they must be contaminated with bacteria from the unknown
wet brown stains. Also observed in refrigerator #7 were two packs of a vacuum-sealed boiled eggs with a
label preparation date 12/12/22. According to DS 1, the boiled eggs were for salads and that the shelf life
(the length of time that food can be kept before it becomes too old use) was usually three days but was not
sure. Per DS 1, if the hard-boiled eggs were dated 12/12/2022, they should be discarded as they were no
longer safe for consumption and can potentially make the residents sick.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
On 12/21/2022 at 8:04 a.m., during an interview, Food Service Director (FSD) stated that the facility uses a
72-hr timeframe for determining food safety. However, it can be shorter than 72 hours for some items, as
some foods do not hold for 72 hrs. FSD stated eggs are received pre-packaged and that the date observed
on the container (12/12/2022) was the date that the sealed package of eggs was placed in the container
and since the sealed plastic package does not have a date, therefore they were unable to verify or confirm
the manufacturer's suggested use by date. According to FSD, per facility policy, the eggs would have to be
used by 12/15/2022 or discarded and should not be served. FSD explained that it was an inappropriate
practice for staff to wear personal items such as beanies, and they should not be wearing personal head
coverings in food preparation areas. FSD stated that the employee should be wearing the facility provided
hairnets as a proper hair restriction per facility policy to ensure that there is no food contamination risk.
A review of the facility`s policy and procedure dated 10/2022, titled General Food Handling Practices,
indicated that dietary service employees comply with time and temperature requirements and use proper
food handling techniques to prevent the occurrence of foodborne illness. Under Policy Interpretation and
Implementation, indicated the following, but not limited to:
1. Practice good personal hygiene; restrain hair appropriately.
2. Store leftovers in clean, approved containers in refrigerator units. Cover, date, and use or discard within
72 hours .
b. During a dining observation on 12/19/2022 at 12:23 p.m., in Taper 1, observed CNA 5 remove a meal
tray from the meal cart (transports meals from the kitchen to the resident areas), placed it inside a
resident's room, then removed it to return it back into the meal cart with trays that have not yet been passed
out to residents.
During an interview on 12/19/2022 at 12:44 p.m., with CNA 5, CNA 5 stated she should have not have
placed the meal tray that was taken out back into the meal cart. CNA 5 stated doing so would contaminate
other trays. CNA 5 stated the resident was not in the room and she did not want the food to get cold. CNA 5
stated she should have left the meal tray in the resident's room.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 11:41 a.m., with the Director of Education (DOE), the DOE stated
when a meal tray is taken out of the meal cart and placed back into the clean cart, it was a concern with
infection control. The DOE stated that CNA 5 should have left the meal tray in the resident's room and if
needed could have warmed up the tray.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled In-Room Meal Service, last revised on 10/2022
indicated Nursing staff delivers the trays to the residents, nursing will pick up the tray after the resident has
eaten and deliver to the appropriate location.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled Transmission-Based Precautions, last revised on
10/2022 indicated the purpose to prevent the spread of infections and infectious organisms to
residents/patients, staff, visitors, and others. Indirect contact transmission: Indirect transmission involves the
transfer of an infectious agent through a contaminated intermediate object or person (e.g., hands, health
care personnel, patient care devices).

g. A review of Resident 163's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance)
indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/7/2022 with diagnoses that included sepsis (the body's
extreme response to an infection).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 163's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 12/12/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive
assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 163's physician's orders, dated 12/9/2022, indicated an order for oxygen via nasal
cannula (a medical device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen
levels) at 2 liters/minute as needed (PRN) for oxygen (O2) saturation (the amount of oxygen you have
circulating in your blood) less than 92 percent (%).
On 12/21/2022 at 9:33 a.m., during a concurrent observation and interview, observed Resident 163 awake
sitting in her wheelchair inside her room watching television. Observed resident's oxygen tubing on the
floor. Certified Nursing Assistant 4 (CNA 4) stated the resident's oxygen tubing should not have been on the
floor.
On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated they do not want any
resident equipment to be on the floor because it can become contaminated. The DON stated that oxygen
tubing should not be on the floor.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Oxygen Management, last reviewed on 10/2022,
indicated that the purpose of this procedure was to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration. The
cannula, mask, and tubing will be stored in a plastic bag when not in use.
e. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 11:39 a.m., of Taper 2 Medication
Storage with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), observed a wheelchair noted with label indicating taper 2.
LVN 1 stated there was no other storage room for the wheelchair used for residents when they go out with
family.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:53 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated the
wheelchair in the medication storage is cleaned after every use; the AIT cannot verify or provide
documentation of the wheelchair being cleaned after each use.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 9:43 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated items
including the wheelchair should not be in medication storage; the DON stated the medication storage is
only for medications.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at11:43 a.m., with the Director of Education (DOE), the DOE stated that
only medications should be in the medication storage. The DOE stated having the wheelchair in the
medication storage is a concern for infection control.
A review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P), titled, Storage of Medications, last revised on
10/2022 indicated medication storage areas are kept clean, well-lit, and free of clutter and extreme
temperatures.

These deficient practices had the potential to result in cross contamination (bacteria or other
microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another with harmful effect)
of residents' medications and/or residents' foods and/or can also place the residents at increased risk for
contracting infection.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 50's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/24/2022 with
diagnosis including end stage renal disease (ESRD - is a medical condition in which a person's kidneys
stop functioning on a permanent basis).
A review of Resident 50's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 9/23/2022, indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated Resident 50 required one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, toilet
use, and personal hygiene; and required set-up and supervision with eating.
A review of Resident 50's Care Plan last revised on 12/1/2022 with short term goal target date of
12/24/2022 indicated the resident was at risk for severe communicable infection related to pandemic
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 - a highly infectious disease that is spread from person to person
through droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks). The Care Plan indicated
staff were to always practice hand hygiene.
During a medication pass observation on 12/21/2022 at 7:50 a.m., observed Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) gave medications to Resident 50, observed Resident 50 coughed and gagged after taking a pink
liquid medication; observed LVN 2 walked out of the room and went to medication cart with no hand
hygiene; observed LVN 2 unlocked the medication cart and opened drawers.
During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 8:09 a.m., LVN 2 stated she forgot to do hand hygiene after giving
medications before going to the medication cart to get Kleenex (tissue). LVN 2 stated there was a potential
for spread of infection when she did not do hand hygiene after she gave medications and started to look for
Kleenex in the medication cart. LVN 2 stated she could spread germs (tiny living things that can cause
disease) to other residents because she touched the surfaces of the medication cart.
During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 3:22 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated hand hygiene is done
before donning (putting on) and after doffing (removing) gloves; the DON stated hand sanitizers in between
is acceptable. The DON stated hand hygiene should be done after giving medications to a resident DON
stated hand hygiene should be done after giving medications to a resident before exiting the room. The
DON stated there was a potential for spread of infection when hand hygiene was not done after LVN 2 gave
medications to Resident 50.

b. A review of Resident 7's Face Sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 6/12/2019
and readmitted the resident on 12/29/2020 with diagnosis including osteomyelitis (an infection in a bone).
A review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 9/10/2022 indicated the resident had moderately impaired decision-making skills. The MDS indicated
Resident 7 required one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, and toilet use; required
two-person extensive assistance with transfer; required one-person supervision with eating; and required
one-person limited assistance with personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 7's Physician's Order dated 7/29/2022 indicated:
- oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters (one of the metric units of volume) per minute (LPM) as needed
- change oxygen tube and bag every Sunday, label tube and bag
During an observation on 12/19/2022 at 9:53 a.m., in Resident 7's room, observed a nasal cannula, a
handheld nebulizer, and bags for oxygen and handheld nebulizers dated 7/31/2022; observed oxygen
humidifier dated 7/29/2022.
During an interview on 12/20/2022 at 8:51 a.m., Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) stated oxygen tubing, handheld
nebulizers, and the bags that hold the tubing and mask are changed every Sunday. RN 1 stated it was not
right that Resident 7 had oxygen tubing and handheld nebulizer at bedside that were dated 7/31/2022; RN
stated this would indicate five months past the time when the devices should have been changed. RN 1
stated the resident was placed at risk for potentially using old oxygen tubing or handheld nebulizer that
could make the resident sicker.
During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 3:30 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the oxygen and
handheld nebulizer are changed every week on a Sunday or as needed for routine use. The DON stated for
as needed use of oxygen and nebulizer, the equipment should not be in the room and instead should be
kept in the clean utility room. The DON stated the setup (oxygen tubing, mask, and bags) should have been
removed from Resident 7's room if the resident was not using the setup since July. The DON stated the risk
of leaving old and dirty setup at bedside was a potential for staff using it for the resident.
A review of the facility's P&P, titled, Oxygen Management, dated 10/2022, indicated, The oxygen cannula,
mask, and tubing shall be dated and changed every seven days and as needed. The cannula, mask, and
tubing will be stored in a plastic bag when not in use. When the humidifiers are used, they shall be dated
and changed every seven days .

been changed. RN 1 stated the resident was placed at risk for potentially using old oxygen tubing or
handheld nebulizer that could get the resident sick.
During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 3:34 p.m., the Director of Nursing stated Resident 17's nasal cannula

stated the purpose of changing the setup was to lessen the germs. The DON stated the resident was
placed at risk for potential harm such as respiratory (lung) problems. The DON stated it was not appropriate
that the resident's setup was a month old and should have been changed on a weekly basis.

first used.
