Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the daily maximum dosage of acetaminophen
(medication used to treat pain) did not exceed 2,000 milligrams (mg- unit of measurement) per physician's
order for one unsampled resident (Resident 36). This failure had the potential to result in hepatotoxicity
(damage to the liver caused by exposure to harmful substances).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a review of Resident 36's face sheet (demographics), dated [DATE], the face sheet indicated
Resident 36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include chronic hepatitis (long term
inflammation of the liver). Resident 36 expired on [DATE].
During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 10:19 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 36's Medication Administration Records (MAR) for the months of [DATE], [DATE], [DATE],
and [DATE] were reviewed and indicated the following:
a. In [DATE], Resident 36 had an order for acetaminophen 500 mg one tablet three times a day for pain,not
to exceed (NTE) 2,000mg in 24 hours and an additional order for acetaminophen 500mg two tablets three
times a day for pain, NTE 2,000mg in 24 hours.
The DON calculated the total dosage given to Resident 36 was 3500mg of acetaminophen on [DATE] and
[DATE], and total of 4500mg of acetaminophen on [DATE].
b. In [DATE], indicated Resident 36 had an order for acetaminophen 500mg two tablets three times a day
for pain, NTE 2,000mg in 24 hours.
c. In [DATE], indicated Resident 36 had an order for acetaminophen 500mg two tablets three times a day
for pain, NTE 2,000mg in 24 hours.
d. In [DATE], indicated Resident 36 had an order for acetaminophen 500mg two tablets three times a day
for pain, NTE 2,000mg in 24 hours.
The DON calculated the total dosage of acetaminophen given to Resident 36 was over the maximum
dosage for 25 days in [DATE], and 30 days in [DATE] and [DATE]. Resident 36 received more than 2,000mg
in 24 hours for three months. The DON stated, That's crazy, it should have been clarified.
During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 11:16 a.m., with Medical Director (MD),
Resident 36's Monthly Medication Review (MMR), dated [DATE] was reviewed. The MMR indicated the
pharmacist's recommendation was to clarify the acetaminophen order. MD stated the order should have
been clarified and Yeah that's on me. MD further stated for elderly patients with history of hepatitis and
seizures, the maximum recommended dose of acetaminophen was 2,000mg in 24 hours.
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:53 a.m., with Pharmacist (Pharm), Pharm stated she completed
Resident 36's MMR and sent them to the facility's medical director and DON. Pharm stated the order
should have been clarified immediately. Pharm stated exceeding the daily limit of acetaminophen for a
prolonged period, three months, had a potential for Resident 36 to experience hepatotoxicity. Pharm further
stated, Yeah that's a pretty significant error.

lungs).
During a record review of Resident 29's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 2/10/25, the MAR

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure all kitchen staff were
evaluated for competency skills when two kitchen staff were unable to effectively test the 3-compartment
sink (3 sinks that separate the wash, rinse and sanitizer-manual procedure for cleaning and sanitizing
dishes) sanitizer. This failure had the potential for residents to be served food on unclean dishes, which can
result in food borne illnesses (a sickness caused by consuming food, or drinks contaminated with harmful
substances) in a medically fragile population of 47 residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/9/25 between 3:50 to 3:55 p.m., with Executive Chef
(EC) in the kitchen, EC tested the quaternary ammonium (quat- a group of chemicals that are used in
disinfectants) in the 3-compartment sink. EC placed the strip in the mixture of quat sanitizer with water, for
10 seconds and the color of the strip changed to dark green. EC checked the color against the color chart
on the test kit. EC confirmed the test strip read 600-800 ppm (parts per million- unit of measurement) and
stated, Oh that's darker than it should be. EC repeated the same process, and the test strip result was 1000
ppm, EC stated he was unsure why the reading of the sanitizer was still high. The EC stated the level
should be 200-400 ppm.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/25 at 11:19 a.m., with Dishwasher (DW) 1 in the
kitchen, DW 1 was standing in front of the 3-compartment sink, washing dishes. DW 1 was asked to
complete a quat test for the sanitizer sink. DW 1 stated he was unsure how to test the sanitizer mixture. DW
1 placed the strip in the sanitizer mixture, for 3 seconds and the color of the strip turned green. DW 1
checked the color against the color chart on the test kit and confirmed the test strip read 400-600 ppm,
which was not within the normal range.
During an interview on 2/13/25 at 9:25 a.m., with EC, EC stated he did not properly demonstrate the
3-compartment sink quat test. EC further stated he was responsible for training all kitchen staff.
During a review of EC's Job Description, dated 7/21/23, the Job Description indicated, Supervises cooking
personnel and insures proper sanitation procedure for the entire kitchen area . Insures that competency in
the positions is maintained . monthly in-service trainings . sanitation inspections .
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, On-The-Job Training, dated January
2025, the P&P indicated, On-the-job training is implemented for the purpose of . training concerning use of
specific hazardous substance .

1 a-d. The facility was not following Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP-Centers for Disease Control
Recommendations to wear personal protective equipment when caring for residents with an indwelling
medical device) for four of 18 sampled residents (Resident 148, Resident 14, Resident 21, and Resident
10).
Residents Affected - Many
All Facilities Letter (AFL memo issued by the California Department of Public Health), dated 6/13/2024,
indicated, skilled nursing facilities should implement EBP per Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance
as part of infection control for certified skilled nursing facilities.
CDC Recommendations, dated 4/2/24, indicated, Enhanced Barrier Precautions are an infection control
intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in nursing homes.
Enhanced Barrier Precautions involve gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities
(personal hygiene, linen change, providing medications and treatments such as wound dressing change)
for residents known to be colonized or infected with a MDRO as well as those at increased risk of MDRO
acquisition (e.g., residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices).
2. Resident 196's unlabeled urinal was stored on his bedside table.
3. Resident 29's nasal cannula (a thin, flexible tube that delivers oxygen through the nose) was found on
the floor.
These failures placed the residents at risk for cross contamination and possible spread of infections.
Findings:
1 a. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/25 at 10:40 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse

bladder to drain urine into a collection bag). There was no signage posted to alert staff that Resident 148
required Enhanced Barrier Precautions. LVN 1 stated she has never heard of EBP, so she does not follow
EBP.
During an interview on 2/12/25 at 2:13 p.m., with Infection Preventionist Registered Nurse (IP/RN) and the
Director of Staff Development (DSD), the IP/RN and DSD stated they did not know what EBP was,
