**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of five sampled residents
(Resident 3) received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, facility's
policy and procedure (P&P), and physician's order when Resident 3's alarm bracelet was not monitored for
placement and functionality.This failure had the potential for an ineffective wandering management of
Resident 3 and risk for Resident 3's further elopement occurrences.Findings: A review of Resident 3's
clinical record indicated Resident 3 was admitted November of 2024 and had diagnoses that included
Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions
causing memory loss and confusion), dementia (impairment of the ability to remember, think, or make
decisions that interferes with everyday activities, and major depressive disorder (persistently depressed
mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life).A review of Resident 3's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) Cognitive Patterns, dated
5/14/25, indicated Resident 3 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to assess cognition)
score of 3 out of 15 which indicated Resident 3 had a severely impaired cognition (mental process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding).During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/16/25 at
12:36 p.m. with Resident 3, in the facility's dining area, Resident 3 was observed wearing a black alarm
bracelet on his left wrist. Resident 3 stated it was for staff to monitor his location. Resident 3 further stated
he doesn't remember when he started wearing the alarm bracelet.A review of Resident 3's Care Plan

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of five sampled
residents (Resident 1) was free from significant medication error when Resident 1 did not receive
prescribed insulin (medication used to manage blood sugar level) in accordance with the physician's
order.This failure has the potential to result in Resident 1 experiencing hypoglycemia (too low blood sugar
level) and other unnecessary insulin side effects which could negatively affect Resident 1's
health.Findings:A review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated Resident 1 was admitted July of 2025 and
had diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (DM- a chronic condition causing too much sugar in the
blood that can negatively affect health condition).A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a
federally mandated resident assessment tool) Cognitive Patterns, dated 7/15/25, indicated Resident 1 had
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to assess cognition) score of 15 out of 15 which indicated
Resident 15 had an intact cognition (mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review
of Resident 1's active physician's order, dated 7/11/25, indicated, Insulin Aspart [rapid-acting insulin used to
manage high blood sugar levels] Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML [milliliters- unit of measurement] .Inject as

sugar and had administered his insulin. LN 1 further stated that Resident 1 has not eaten but lunch will be
served between 11:30 a.m. to 12 noon.A review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR- a
legal document used to record medications given to the residents), for the month of July 2025, indicated
Resident 1 had a blood sugar level of 167 and was given 1 unit of insulin aspart.During an interview on
7/16/25 at 12:05 p.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated his nurse already administered his insulin.
Resident 1 further stated he had not eaten yet and was still waiting for his lunch meal.During a concurrent
observation and interview on 7/16/25 at 12:51 p.m. with LN 3, in Resident 1's room, LN 3 was observed
delivering Resident 1 his lunch meal. LN 3 confirmed that observation.During an interview on 7/16/25 at
2:10 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 confirmed that Resident 1's insulin aspart was administered too early. LN 1 stated
that Resident 1's insulin aspart should have been administered with meals as per the doctor's order to
prevent hypoglycemia.During an interview on 7/16/25 at 3:48 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development
(DSD), the DSD stated she would expect staff to follow the doctor's order when administering insulin
medication. The DSD further stated that the resident would be at risk for hypoglycemia if a rapid-acting
insulin is not administered with meal. A review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled,
Administering Medications, revised 12/2012, indicated, 3. Medications must be administered in accordance
with the orders, including any required time frame. 4. Medications must be administered within one (1) hour
of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for example, before and after meal orders).A review of
the facility's P&P titled, Insulin Administration, revised 3/2025, indicated, The type of insulin, dosage

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 follow and maintain an effective
infection prevention and control program for a census of 61 residents when:1. A shared glucometer (a
device which measures blood sugar using blood from the fingertip) was not sanitized properly after use;
and,2. A facility staff did not wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) when performing resident
care on Resident 4 who was on enhanced barrier precaution (EBP- also known as enhanced standard
precaution/ESP, infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant
organisms [MDROs- bacteria that resist treatment with more than one antibiotic] that employs targeted
gown and glove use) and there was no EBP signage posted outside of Resident 4's room.These failures
resulted in an increased risk for cross-contamination (movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one
person, object, or place to another), and potential exposure of residents and staff to germs.Findings:1.
During an observation on 7/16/25 at 11:46 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 was observed checking a
resident's blood sugar using a glucometer (True Matrix Pro) which was shared between residents. LN 2
used a lancet (a sharp piercing device) to pierce the resident's finger to get blood and then applied the
blood to the test strip that was attached to the glucometer. After reading the result, LN 6 went out the room,
discarded the used lancet and test strip, wiped the shared glucometer with one alcohol prep pad (pads
used to clean the skin prior to bandaging, wiping off surfaces like desks, sinks and counters, and cleaning
hands), and stored the glucometer in the medication cart.During an interview on 7/16/25 at 11:58 a.m. with
LN 2, LN 2 confirmed that she used an alcohol wipe to clean and sanitize the used glucometer before
storing it in the medication cart. LN 2 stated she thought it was okay to use alcohol prep pad in cleaning
and sanitizing the used glucometer.During an interview on 7/16/24 at 3:40 p.m. with the Infection
Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that shared glucometers should always be cleaned and sanitized properly
using a germicidal wipe (Super Sani-Cloth Wipes) and not an alcohol prep pad. The IP also stated there
would be a risk of infection issues and cross-contamination if the shared glucometer was not cleaned and
sanitized properly. The IP further stated they should follow the manufacturer's recommendation in cleaning
the glucometers.A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Cleaning and Disinfecting
Non-Critical Resident-Care Items, revised 6/2011, indicated, d. Reusable items are cleaned and disinfected
or sterilized between residentsA review of the manufacturer's instructions for True Matrix Pro blood glucose
monitoring system titled, Care, Cleaning/Disinfecting and Troubleshooting, undated, indicated, To Clean and
Disinfect the Meter: .2. Make sure meter is off and a test strip is not inserted. With ONLY Super Sani-Cloth
