order before his readmission. LVN B, stated she was not sure why the order was not entered since she was
new to that shift and section. LVN B stated that the resident ' s documentation and orders are ultimately the
nursing staff responsibility to ensure everything is entered correctly. LVN B, also stated that Resident #7
requires continuous monitoring due to non-compliance with maintaining oxygen nasal canula in place, more
specifically during mealtimes. LVN B, verbalized nurses and CNA's can connect the residents to a portable
oxygen tank when taking the residents to the dining area. LVN B, did affirm that any staff member
connecting residents to portable oxygen tanks need to ensure the oxygen tanks have sufficient oxygen.
LVN B, stated the nurse is responsible to oversee the CNA is doing her job correctly when connecting the
residents to the oxygen tanks to prevent residents from being connected to oxygen tanks that don ' t have
sufficient oxygen. LVN B, stated they have portable oxygen tanks that are refilled by the oxygen company,
staff only connects them to the residents and removes them when empty. LVN B, stated if they are not
careful when administering oxygen, it can lead to residents not getting sufficient oxygen.
Interview on 08/23/23 at 03:40PM with the DON, revealed Resident #7 did not have an order for oxygen
administration. Resident #7 had a diagnosis that required oxygen administration at all times, and
intervention for oxygen monitoring was very important due to the Resident #7 history stated the DON.
Resident #7 readmission diagnosis was respiratory failure with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in the body)
making oxygen monitoring very important, the DON stated this was unacceptable. The DON stated it was
the responsibility of all the nursing management team to review the admissions to ensure they are done
correctly, but ultimately it is the responsibility of the admitting nurse, since the admitting nurse does the
reconciliation of the orders from the hospital with the physician from the facility. The DON confirmed there
was no order for oxygen administration, stated not having the correct orders in the system can negatively
affect the residents by exposing them to get inaccurate care if the nurse is not familiar with the resident. The
DON confirmed order was not present in Resident #7 order summary. The DON stated if the nasal canula is
not changed every 7 days or as needed when it becomes dirty it can be infection control issue due to
cleanliness.

property. Dumpster #2 was covered with one lid with no trash exceeding its limit. Dumpster #3 was
uncovered and had trash exceeding its limit.
An interview on 08/21/23 at 12:32 PM with the Dietary Manager revealed he was responsible for
overseeing the trash bin in the dining room and ensuring it did not overflow with trash. The Dietary Manager
stated when the trash bin was full, it had to be thrown away because if the trash fell on the floor, residents
could slip and because it did not look good. The Dietary Manager stated he would not have the trash bin
overflowing with trash at his house. The Dietary Manager stated the risk to the residents was infection
control, pest control, and residents could slip on it.

staff would throw out the trash in the morning, but it would get full during the lunch meal. The Dietary
Supervisor stated he had seen the trash bin was full but did not think anything of it and should have thrown
the trash away. The Dietary Supervisor stated if the staff saw the trash bins full or overflowing, they would
have to throw the trash away. The Dietary Supervisor stated that having the trash overflowing did not look
good, looked messy, attracted pests, and was infection control issue.
An interview on 08/23/23 at 2:09 PM with Dietary Manager, revealed he would throw trash away as well as
his staff, and it could occur after every meal. He stated the lids of the dumpster had to be closed in order to
prevent pests and animals from having access to it. He also stated it could be an infection control issue. He
revealed maintenance staff were responsible for overseeing the dumpsters, but anybody who would use
them had a responsibility of ensuring it was used correctly.

because CNA D had not changed gloves when going from soiled to clean. CNAs have been taught to
properly perform perineal care. He stated he monitored hand hygiene daily, and staff would complete
training online. Risks to residents if perineal care was not done correctly could be infections and even
sepsis (infection in the blood stream that causes fever and fast heart rate).
An interview on 08/24/23 at 09:16 AM with CNA E revealed the procedure for performing perineal care was
to wash hands and place clean gloves on. Then would clean the resident from front to back and remove
soiled brief to throw away. Would then change gloves before taking a clean brief and place new brief on
resident. She stated gloves had to be changed because the dirty gloves would contaminate the clean brief.
She stated the resident could be at risk of contamination and infection.
Resident #142
Record review of Resident #142 ' s face sheet dated 08/24/23 reflected an [AGE] year-old female with an
admission dated of 08/17/23 to the facility.
Record review of Resident #142 ' s History and Physical dated 08/11/23 reflected diagnoses of urinary tract
infection, diabetes, and pressure ulcer stage IV being treated with antibiotics due to growth of
Enterococcus, streptococcus, and E. Coli (bacterial infections which is difficult to treat and usually acquired

Record review of Resident #142 ' s admitting MDS assessment dated [DATE] is still pending completion.
Observation and interview on 08/23/23 at 11:59 AM in Resident #142 room there were some soiled linens
in the corner of her room balled up on top of the resident's dresser. It was the resident's soiled linen from
her bed, and the clothing she had on from the night before. The linen was soiled according to CNA C, she
stated she had left the linen there earlier this morning unsure of the exact time. CNA C stated she left the
soiled linen in the room due to not being able to find housekeeping for the linen containers. CNA C
proceeded to get the resident soiled bed sheets and clothing making it into a ball and remove it without
bagging the linen removed it from the room quickly. When CNA C returned stated she is trained to bag the
soiled linen and dispose of it in the linen bin. CNA C indicated this is done due for hygiene purposes and for
appearance since it did not look very sanitary to have soiled linen balled up in the resident's room.
Interview on 08/24/23 at 01:50 PM with DON, revealed that CNA C did not follow infection control
procedures by leaving the soiled linen in Resident #142 's room on 08/23/23 and utilizing improper
technique when disposing of the soiled linen/laundry. The DON stated that all CNA ' s are trained to
properly dispose of the soiled linen in the bins. The DON verbalized the CNA ' s need to place the soiled
linen inside a bag trying to ensure least contact with themself when placing in the bag, and to ensure that
soiled linen bin is sealed properly with lid. Stated the purpose of this is infection control to minimize the
exposure of contamination, and if soiled linen is left in a room there is always the possibility another
resident picking up the soiled linen with their bare hands causing a more severe infection control issue.
