Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure four of seven residents
interviewed (Residents 15, 36, 207, and 208) knew how to contact the state long-term care ombudsman
(an official who investigates, reports and help settle complaints). This posed the risk of residents not
knowing how to contact the ombudsman should the residents require the ombudsman's services.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
On 11/16/21 at 1350 hours, the resident council meeting (a group or residents or residents' family members
that meets regularly to discuss and offer suggestions about facility policies and procedures) was conducted
with seven residents. The residents were asked if they knew how to contact the ombudsman or if they knew
where the ombudsman's contact information was posted. Residents 15, 36, 207, and 208 stated they did
not know how to contact the ombudsman.
On 11/16/21 at 1500 hours, an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the
Administrator. When asked about the process on how the residents were informed about the ombudsman
and their contact information, the Administrator stated it may have been included in the residents'
admission packet. The Administrator reviewed the admission packet and verified there was none. The
Administrator stated the Activity Director was responsible in notifying the residents about the ombudsman
and their contact information The Administrator acknowledged the findings.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for one of 17 final sampled residents (Resident 205).
*The facility failed to develop a care plan to address Resident 205's use of continuous oxygen. This failure
had the potential to negatively impact the care needed for the residents.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Care Plans revised on 9/25/19, showed it is the policy of
the facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident,
consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's
medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the resident's comprehensive
assessment.
Findings:
On 11/15/21 at 0758 hours, during the initial tour, Resident 205 was observed asleep in bed with
continuous oxygen at 2 liters per minute.
Medical record review for Resident 205 was initiated on 11/15/21. Resident was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of the Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 11/10/21, for oxygen 2 liters per
minute via nasal cannula at all times for SOB except during ADL care every shift.
Review of the plan of care failed to show a care plan problem addressing Resident 205's use of continuous
oxygen for SOB.
On 11/17/21 at 1138 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON verified there was no care plan developed for the oxygen use.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary care and services for the use of a GT for one of 17 final sampled residents (Resident 37).
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 37 received the accurate amount of enteral feeding as ordered by the
physician. In addition, the facility failed to accurately document Resident 37's amount of enteral feeding and
water flushed via enteral pump. These failures had the potential for not meeting the resident's nutritional
and hydration needs.
Findings:
According to the facility's P&P titled Tube Feeding,Naso-Gastric, Gastrostomy, Jejunostomy, via Enteral
Pump revised on 7/8/21, showed it is the policy of the facility to properly monitor Naso-Gastric,
Gastrostomy, Jejunostomy feedings to provide nourishment, administer medication, and to maintain
hydration.
Medical record review for Resident 37 was initiated on 11/15/21. Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review if the MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 37 had severe cognitive impairment. Resident 37 was
totally dependent on staff for her ADL care. Resident 37 had a feeding tube.
Review of Resident 37's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 10/5/21, to administer
Glucerna (enteral feeding formula) 1.2 at 60 ml/hour for 20 hours to provide 1200 ml/1440 kcals, starting at
1300 hours and continue until 0900 hours or until the volume was given and record the time dosage was
completed. Another physician's order dated 10/4/21, showed to flush Resident 37's GT with water at 50
ml/hour for 20 hours to provide 1000 ml of water/day, starting at 1300 hours and continue until 0900 hours
or until the volume was given in the afternoon.
a. On 11/18/21 at 0721 hours, Resident 37 was observed receiving Glucerna 1.2 cal via a feeding pump.
Resident 37's Glucerna 1.2 feeding bottle had 1400 ml of formula left in the bottle. Resident 37's Glucerna
1.2 feeding bottle label showed a full bottle contained 1.5 L (1500 ml), with a date written as 11/18/21, start
time of 0100 hours, and rate of 60 ml per hour. Resident 37's Glucerna 1.2 feeding bottle was hung at 0100
hours, therefore, a total of 6 hours had passed. However, Resident 37 had received only 100 ml (1500 ml
less 1400 ml) instead of the 360 ml (60 ml/hour x 6 hours) as prescribed by the physician.
On 11/18/21 at 0822 hours, a concurrent interview and facility record review was conducted with the DON
and LVN 3. LVN 3 verified Resident 37's Glucerna 1.2 full feeding bottle (1500 ml) had a label which
showed it was started on 11/18/21 at 0100 hours. LVN 3 stated she hung Resident 37's Glucerna 1.2 cal at
0100 hours. The DON and LVN 3 verified Resident 37's Glucerna 1.2 bottle had 1400 ml of formula left in
the bottle at 0721 hours. The DON and LVN 3 acknowledged Resident 37 had received only 100 ml for the
past 6 hours instead of 360 ml (60 ml x 6 hours) as prescribed by the physician. The DON and LVN 3 stated
there should have been 1140 ml of formula left in the Glucerna bottle instead of 1400 ml. Cross reference
to F726.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. On
11/15/21 at 0807 hours, during the initial tour, Resident 30 was observed receiving oxygen at 2 liters per
minute via nasal cannula.
Residents Affected - Few
Medical record review for Resident 30 was initiated on 11/15/21. Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of the Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 10/7/21, for oxygen at 3 liters per
minute via nasal cannula at all times for SOB except during ADL care.
On 11/16/21 at 1019 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with LVN 5 for Resident
30. Resident 30 received oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula. LVN 5 verified Resident 30's
oxygen level was only at 2 liters per minute. LVN 5 verified Resident 30's oxygen rate was supposed to be
at 3 liters per minute as ordered by the physician. LVN 5 stated she did not check Resident 30's oxygen at
the beginning of shift and was not aware of the resident receiving only 2 liters per minute. When LVN 5 was
asked what potentially could happen to Resident 30, LVN 5 stated Resident 30 could develop SOB and
have a low oxygen saturation level.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
the respiratory care needs to two of 17 final sampled residents (Residents 30 and 44).
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 44's oxygen therapy titration (adjusting oxygen level) based on her
oxygen saturation level (percentage of oxygen in the blood with normal levels of 95% and higher) was
monitored and documented in the medical record.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 30's oxygen was administered as ordered by the physician.
These failures had the potential to put the residents at risk for adverse effects of the improper care and
administration of oxygen.
Findings:
According to the facility's P&P titled Oxygen Therapy Misty Oxygen revised on 5/8/2017, showed oxygen
therapy is administered as ordered by the physician. The licensed nurses will set the oxygen flow rate as
ordered. Documentation will include the date and time of oxygen in use, oxygen flow rate and device being
use, and assessment of the resident's response to therapy.
1. Medical record review for Resident 44 was initiated on 11/15/21. Resident 44 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of the Order Summary Report dated 10/24/21, show the physician's orders dated 10/12/21, to
administer oxygen 2 liter per minute via nasal cannula at all times for SOB except during ADL care every
shift and monitor the oxygen saturation levels to maintain greater or equal of 92 % every shift. The licensed
nurses may titrate up to four liters and document on the reverse page of MAR.
Review of the MAR for November 2021 showed Resident 44's oxygen saturation levels ranged from

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
ensure the licensed nurses had the specific competencies and skill sets needed to care for the residents.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure a program was in place to check the competencies and skill sets of the
licensed nurses at the facility upon hiring and ongoing basis. The DSD/IP 1, IP 2, LVNs 1, and 4 failed to
demonstrate how to obtain the history of the volume of feeding and water flush via the enteral pump for
Resident 37. This failure had the potential to put the residents at risk for care not provided in a safe and
competent manner.
Findings:
According to the facility's P&P titled Competency Evaluation dated 4/1/19, showed it is the policy of the
facility to evaluate each employee to assure appropriate competencies and skills for performing his or her
job and to meet the needs of facility residents. Initial competency is evaluated during the orientation
process. An employee remains on orientation until all competencies are verified. Subsequent and/or annual
competency is evaluated at a frequency determined by the facility assessment, evaluation of the training
program, and/or job performance evaluations.
According to the operating manual titled Epump Enteral Feed and Flush Pump with Pole Clamp
Programable, under the section History in the More Options menu, to access the History screen, press the
buttons feed ml and flush ml to show the requested history time. A maximum of 72 hours of past history,
excluding data from the current hour can be retrieved.
On 11/16/21 at 1033 hours, Resident 37 was observed lying on her bed and receiving Glucerna 1.2 at 60
ml per hour and water at 50 ml of via enteral pump.
On 11/16/21 at 1055 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. When asked to demonstrate how to
obtain the history of the volume fed and water flushed from Resident 37's enteral pump, LVN 1 stated she
did not know how. When asked if she had received any inservices regarding the use of the enteral pump
and how to obtain the feeding history, LVN 1 stated no.
On 11/16/21 at 1059 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 4. LVN 4 was asked to demonstrate how
to obtain the history of the volume fed and water flushed for the past 24, 48, and 72 hours from the enteral
pump for Resident 37. LVN 4 stated she just looked at the enteral pup screen to see how much feeding
volume and water were administered . LVN 4 stated she did not know how to obtain the feeding history.
When asked if she had received any inservices regarding the use of the enteral pump and how to obtain

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 facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the proper infection control
measures were implemented as evidenced by:
Residents Affected - Few
* LVN 1 did not perform hand hygiene when preparing Resident 207's medications.
* The facility failed to ensure aseptic technique was observed during the preparation of Resident 207's
heparin (medication to prevent the formation of the blood clot) medication. LVN 1 did not disinfect the
self-sealing rubber topper of the medication vial with an antimicrobial swab each time she attempted to
withdraw the heparin medication. LVN 1 used the same needle and syringe multiple times to withdraw the
medication from the heparin vial.
These failures had the potential to result in the transmission of infection for the resident.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Hand Hygiene revised on 04/27/21, showed the staff will perform hand
hygiene when indicated, using proper technique consistent with accepted standards of practice.
On 10/16/21 at 0853 hours, a medication administration observation for Resident 207 was conducted with
LVN 1. LVN 1 was observed preparing Resident 207's medications. LVN 1 dropped the following
medications on the floor:
- one lidocaine 4% patch ( medication to help reduce pain)
- a syringe of one ml of heparin
- one Dulera inhaler (a medication to treat asthma)
LVN 1 picked up the above medications and discarded them. Without performing hand hygiene, LVN 1 then
proceeded to prepare Resident 207's medications. LVN 1 removed one lidocaine patch from a sealed
packet, then opened a syringe and withdrew the heparin medication. LVN 1 did not disinfect the Dulera
inhaler. LVN 1 entered Resident 207's room and administered the medications without performing hand
hygiene.
On 10/16/2021, at 1423 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 acknowledged she did not
perform hand hygiene after she picked up Resident 207's medications from the floor and prior to preparing
the new set of medications.
On 11/17/2021, at 1512 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated LVN 1 should
have performed hand hygiene after picking the medications from the floor and before entering the resident's
room to administer the medications.
2. According to the Fundamentals of Nursing by [NAME], seventh edition, under the section Removing
Medication from a Vial (a glass bottle with self sealing stopper through which a medication is removed),

the rubber topper with alcohol each time the medication is removed from the vial.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) FAQs regarding Safe Practices for
Medical Injections, injection safety or safe injection practices is a set of measures taken to perform
injections in an optimally safe manner for patients, healthcare personnel and others. Under the section
Medication Preparation Questions showed the staff should adhere to aseptic technique (using practices
and procedures to prevent contamination from microorganisms) when preparing the medications. A new
sterile syringe and sterile needle is used to draw up medications while preventing contact between the
injection materials and the non sterile environment. The rubber septum of vials should be disinfected with
alcohol prior to piercing it.
Residents Affected - Few
According the CDC's One and Only Campaign - Injection Safety Checklist, medication vials are entered
with a new needle and a new syringe, even when obtaining additional doses for the same patient.
On 11/16/2021, at 0853 hours, during medication administration observation with LVN 1, LVN 1 was
observed preparing Resident 207's heparin injection. Without performing hand hygiene, LVN 1 took a 1 ml
syringe from a sterile packet, cleansed the self sealing topper of the mutlidose heparin vial using an alcohol
wipe, pierced the self sealing topper with the syringe needle, and attempted to withdraw one ml of heparin.
When LVN 1 was not able to withdraw the desired amount of heparin solution, LVN 1 then removed the
needle from the vial, tapped the syringe to remove the air inside, and then reinserted the same needle back
into the self sealing topper. LVN 1 did not clean the self sealing topper prior to resinserting the needle. LVN
1 attempted to remove the medication from the heparin vial multiple times using the same syringe and
needle without cleaning the self sealing topper with an antimicrobial swab each time.
On 11/16/2021 at 1423 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 acknowledged she inserted
the same needle into the heparin vial multiple times. LVN 1 acknowledged she did not clean the self-sealing
topper of the medication vial with antimicrobial swab each time she reinserted the same needle into the
heparin vial to withdraw the medication.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the risks and benefits
of influenza vaccination were reviewed with the resident for one of 17 final sampled residents (Resident 52)
when Resident 52 refused the influenza vaccine. This failure had the potential for the resident not being
informed of the benefits and risks of influenza vaccination to make an informed decision.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 52 was initiated on 11/17/21. Resident 52 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of the History and Physical Examination dated 10/25/21, showed Resident 52 had the capacity to
understand and make decision.
Review of the Nursing admission assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 52 refused the influenza
vaccine.
Further review of the medical record failed to show any documentation Resident 52 was provided education
on the risks and benefits of influenza vaccine.
On 11/17/21 at 1012 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with IP 2. IP 2
verified there was no documentation to show Resident 52 was provided the education on the risks and
benefits when he refused the influenza vaccine. IP 2 stated the purpose of the vaccine education was to
help Resident 52 making an informed decision regarding the influenza vaccine.
On 11/17/21 at 1457 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated even if a resident
refused the influenza vaccine, there should have been documentation of the influenza vaccine education
provided to the resident.
