Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a review of the facility's policy, Falls - Clinical Protocol, revised on 4/2007, indicated based on the
preceding assessment the staff/IDT will identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent subsequent falls
and to address risk of serious consequences of falling. Furthermore, underlying causes cannot be readily
identified or corrected, staff will try various and relevant interventions, based on assessment of the nature
or category of falling, until falling reduces or stops or until a reason is identified for its continuation.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure interventions to prevent further fall
incidents for two out of 18 sampled residents (64 and 73) when:
1. For Resident 64, fall interventions were not implemented to prevent falls.
2. For Resident 73, fall interventions were not reevaluated for effectiveness and implementation.
This failure had resulted in repeated falls which could cause further decline in the resident's physical
function.

and stated she disposed the Xanax on 12/12/19 with another nurse. However, she forgot to ask the other
nurse to co-sign for the disposition. RN B stated two nurses should dispose and sign the control
medications.

dated January 2013, indicated .When a dose of a controlled medication is removed from the container for
administration but refused by the resident or not giving for any reason, it is not placed back in the container.

record on the line representing that dose .

tablet daily for supplement. Physician's order date 10/16/19 indicated to administer one drop of artificial
tears to the left eye for dry eye.
During an interview with RN I on 12/17/19 at 8:25 a.m., she stated she gave total 80 ml water to Resident
13 for the resident's six oral tablet medications. RN I stated she normally gave 30 ml for the potassium

form of potassium should be taken with meals and a full glass of water (equals to 240 ml) or other liquid to
minimize the risk of gastrointestinal (GI: stomach, small and large intestine) irritation.
During an interview with RN I on 12/17/19 at 2:50 p.m., she stated the order of Zaroxolyn was confusing
and she thought to give Zaroxolyn daily and only gave a banana on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. RN I
stated she gave Zaroxolyn to Resident 13 on the wrong date because 12/17/19 was Tuesday. RN I stated

Review of the facility's revised policy, Administering Medications through an Enteral Tube, dated March
2015, indicated .Dilute the crushed or split medication with 5 to 15 mL of water (or prescribed amount .)

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to employ staff with the appropriate
competencies and skills to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service when:
1. Dietary staff did not know how to check thermometer accuracy correctly during the calibration process;
2. Dietary staff did not know how to correctly check the dishwasher's sanitizer and quaternary sanitizer
(sanitizer used to clean kitchen counters, tables and surfaces, and used to manually sanitize dishes).
The lack of knowledge regarding food and nutrition services had the potential for dietary staff not being able
to carry out their job functions properly and ensure sanitary conditions in the kitchen.
Findings:
1a. During an observation on 12/17/19 at 11:42 p.m., [NAME] Q demonstrated how to check the
thermometer during the calibration process. [NAME] Q put the thermometer probe (tip) on the bottom of the
ice water container and read the temperature. He stated if the thermometer's temperature reached to 32
Fahrenheit (F), then it was okay to use thermometer to check the food temperature.
1b. During an observation on 12/17/19 at 1:06 p.m., [NAME] R demonstrated how to check the
thermometer during the calibration process. [NAME] R put the thermometer probe on the bottom of the ice
water cup and read the temperature.
1c. During an observation on 12/17/19 at 1:09 p.m., dietary aide P (DA P) demonstrated how to check the
thermometer during the calibration process. DA P put the thermometer probe on the bottom of the ice water
cup and read the temperature. DA P stated the facility used only a digital thermometer. He further stated, if
the thermometer's temperature was not 32F during the calibration process, then the facility should discard
the thermometer because the digital thermometer could not be calibrated.
During an interview with the dietary supervisor (DS) on 12/17/19 at 1:15 p.m., he stated the probe of the
thermometer should not touch the bottom of the ice water container or cups. The DS stated the
thermometer's probe should be between ice.
2a. During an observation on 12/17/19 at 1:31 p.m., DA P demonstrated how to check the dishwasher's
sanitizer concentration. He took out one test strip and quickly dipped the strip into the sanitizer solution and
then took the strip out and immediately compared the test strip with the color chart on the strip bottle. The
test strip had expiration date of 04/19.
The instructions for checking the sanitizer posted on the wall next to the dishwasher indicated to dip the test
strip into the sanitizer solution, immediately remove it and let the test strip sit (wait) for at least 5 seconds
but not more than 10 seconds before reading the strip.
During an interview with DA P on 12/17/19 at 1:35 p.m., he stated he did not check the expiration date of
the test strip and he did not know he should wait for 5-10 seconds before he checked the

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurse staff follow proper
infection control practices during medication passes (med pass: nurse administered the medications to
residents per physician's order) for seven of 10 observed residents (Residents 4, 13, 16, 24, 65, 196 and
346 ) and one resident with catheter out of 18 sampled residents (18). These failures had the potential to
result in cross-contamination and the spread of infections.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
1. During the med pass observation for Resident 196 on 12/16/19 at 9:40 a.m., registered nurse E (RN E)
put the medication tray (oral medications and eye drop in the cup) in Resident 196's bed sheet, then RN E
put the same tray back to the medication cart after oral med pass. At 9:46 a.m., after RN E administered
one type of eye drops to the resident, the eye drop cap dropped on the floor. RN E's gloved hand picked up
the cap from the floor. RN E did not perform hand hygiene and/or change into a new pair of gloves. RN E
continued to administer the second type of eye drops to Resident 196.
During an interview with RN E on 12/16/19 at 10 a.m., she stated she should have not put the med tray on
Resident 196's bed; should have washed her hands after she picked up the eye drop cap from the floor;
and should have washed her hands prior to administering eye drops to Resident 196.
Review of the facility's policy, EYE DROP ADMINISTRATION, dated April 2008, indicated staff should wash
hands prior to eye drop administration.
2. During an observation for Resident 4 on 12/16/19 at 11:45 a.m., licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C)
cleaned Resident 4's middle finger with an alcohol pad prior to pricking the resident's finger to obtain a
blood drip for finger stick blood sugar (FSBG, check blood drop from fingertip) check. LVN C moved her
gloved hand back and forth over Resident 4's clean finger to dry the alcohol.
3. During an observation for Resident 346 on 12/16/19 at 11:50 a.m., LVN C used an alcohol pad to clean
Resident 346's finger for FSBG. LVN C's gloved hand moved back and forth over the resident's clean finger
in order to dry the alcohol.
