F 0698 Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **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 ensure one of 18 final sampled residents (Resident 50) received care in accordance with standards of practice. Residents Affected - Few * Resident 50 received dialysis treatment (process of removing waste products and excess fluid from the body). The facility failed to place a dressing on Resident 50's tunneled dialysis catheter (a thin flexible hollow tube that is tunneled under the skin before entering a large vein) insertion site. This failure had to potential for Resident 50 to develop a central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI, a serious infection that occurs when germs enter the bloodstream through the central line) Findings: According to the facility's P&P titled Central Venous Catheter Dressing Change dated 6/2018 under the section for Policy, Letter A, the P&P showed a transparent dressing (a thin, clear sterile dressing that keeps out water, dirt and germs) is the preferred dressing. If the resident is allergic to the transparent dressing, a gauze and tape dressing may be used. Medical record review for Resident 50 was initiated on 12/13/22. Resident 50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 50 had a diagnosis of end stage renal disease (ESRD, last stage of chronic kidney disease when the kidneys fail and stopped working well enough to survive) and was on hemodialysis. Review of Resident 50's MDS dated [DATE], showed the resident had severe impaired cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decisions making. The MDS also showed the resident required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing. Review of Resident 50's Order Summary Report dated 12/14/22, showed an order dated 12/10/22, to monitor the hemodialysis access site on the right upper chest tunneled catheter for signs/symptoms of infection. On 12/14/22 at 1500 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 confirmed the tunneled dialysis catheter on Resident 50's right upper chest was open to air with no dressing applied to the insertion site. LVN 2 stated the tunneled dialysis catheter should have a dressing applied to the insertion site due to the risk of infection. On 12/15/22 at 0914 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated tunneled dialysis catheters should be covered with an occlusive dressing (a thin, clear dressings that usually have an adhesive side that faces the wound). When asked why it was important to keep central lines covered, RN 1 stated because of the risk of infection.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure a stored medication bottle was properly labeled to include an expiration date. This failure had the potential for the residents at the facility to receive expired medications. Findings: On 12/15/22 at 1450 hours, an inspection of Medication Cart A and concurrent interview was conducted with RN 2. Medication Cart A was observed to have a bottle of Geri-Tussin DM (also known as dextromethorphan-guaifenesin, a combination medication used to relive coughs) with an expiration date of 09/ with the year crossed out. RN 2 confirmed she could not determine the medication's expiration date and stated the Central Supply Personnel was responsible for encircling the expiration date. On 12/15/22 at 1502 hours, an interview was conducted with the Central Supply Personnel. The Central Supply Personnel confirmed she was responsible for encircling the expiration dates on the medication bottles. The Central Supply Personnel verified the expiration date labeled on the Geri-Tussin DM bottle was circled with a black marker, thus covering the year of expiration. The Central Supply Personnel stated she made a mistake. When asked if she knew when the bottle of Geri-Tussin DM expired, the Central Supply Personnel stated no. On 12/15/22 at 1506 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with RN 2. When asked if the Geri-Tussin DM should be administered without knowing the correct expiration date, RN 2 stated no.
