A record review on 06/25/24 at 11:57 a.m. of the medication administration record with MA D for Resident
#39, which indicated he had administered Namenda 5 mg and Polyethylene glycol 1450 powder 17 grams.
MA D verified he had not given the Polyethylene glycol 1450 powder 17 grams, but stated he thought he
had given the Namenda. He stated he was supposed to check the medication against the medication
administration record and physician orders and only sign off on a medication once it had been
administered. He stated failing to give prescribed medications could result in the resident not receiving the
medication as ordered by the physician and could impact their health.
In an Interview with the ADON on 06/25/24 at 01:00 p.m., she stated staff were required to verify the
physician orders and match it to the medication administered. She stated they were supposed to sign off on
the medication once it was administered. She stated not giving the prescribed medications could impact the
resident depending on the medication that was overlooked. She stated this could cause a decline in
cognition if it was something for behaviors, it could cause constipation if they were not giving the laxatives
as ordered, and it could cause an increase in allergy symptoms if a resident is not administered there
ordered nasal spray. She stated the medication aides were checked off annually for competency.
Record Review of MA D Skill assessment dated [DATE] reflected he was proficient in administration of
medications.
Record review of the facility policy titled Administrating Medications, dated December 2012, reflected,

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility to provide or obtain laboratory services to meet the needs of its
residents for 1 (Resident #51) of 4 residents reviewed for labs.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure labs for Depakote levels (used to monitor the level of Depakote) were not drawn
monthly after December 2023 as ordered by the physician for Resident #51.
This failure could place residents at risk for a delay in identifying or diagnosing a problem, adjusting
medications, and ensuring treatment needs were identified and addressed.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #51's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #51 was a
[AGE] year-old Male with admission date of 10/4/2023. Relevant diagnoses included Stroke (damage to the
brain from interruption to blood supply), Hypertension (high blood pressure), Anxiety (feeling of fear and
uneasiness), Psychotic disorder (mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality), Mood
disturbances (mental health condition that affects emotional state). Resident #51 had BIMS score of 00
which indicated he had severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #51's Physician order dated 5/21/2024 reflected, Depakote Tablet Delayed
Release 250 MG (Divalproex Sodium) Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for Mood.
Record review of Resident #51's Physician order dated 3/16/2023 reflected, Depakote Levels every 30 days
one time a day every 30 day(s) related to unspecified Dementia, psychotic Disturbance, Mood Disturbance.
Record review of Resident #51's Medication Administration Record from January 1, 2024, to June 26,
2024, reflected Resident #51 received Depakote tablets daily by mouth.
Record Review of Resident #51 Lab results dated 12/22/2023 revealed Depakote levels were drawn for the
month of December 2023
Record Review of Resident #51 lab results from January 2024 to June 25,2024 indicated there were no lab
results for Depakote levels.
An interview on 06/25/24 at 1:55 PM with RN A revealed that she had been working in the facility since
December 2023. She stated Resident #51 had Depakote tablets ordered daily and had been receiving it as
ordered. She stated that Resident #51 had Lab orders for Depakote to be drawn once every 30 days as
noted on physician orders. She stated she searched EHR for Depakote levels and stated she could only
see Depakote laboratory values drawn until December 2023 and did not observed lab values for Depakote
levels from January 2024 until June 25, 2024. She stated that nurses and Nursing Management were
responsible to ensure that Labs are drawn per physician orders. She stated she was not sure why
Depakote levels were not drawn monthly despite having physician orders and will need to check with the
facility ADON. She stated the risk to residents for not drawing physician ordered labs in a timely manner
could lead to delays in receiving needed care.
An interview on 6/25/24 at 2:46 PM with the ADON revealed her expectation was Labs should be drawn on
all residents per physician orders. She stated that they changed their pharmacy system in January 2024,
which could have affected why Resident #51 did not have a Depakote level drawn since January.

She stated that despite the change in the lab ordering system, Nurses and herself were responsible for
checking that physician ordered lab values were ordered and drawn in a timely manner. She stated that it
was a system failure since nurses and Nursing Management, including herself, did not check if Resident
#51 received his monthly Depakote labs and will follow-up with the Physician about it. She stated the risk to
the resident for not following physician ordered lab draws was a decrease in quality of care and possibly
timely intervention, if needed, to adjust Depakote dose.
In a phone interview on 6/25/24 at 3:15 PM with the Nurse Practitioner revealed that her expectation was
that all physician orders including lab draws should be completed by the nursing facility. She stated
Resident #51 had been stable, and she would recommend Depakote labs quarterly. She further added, she
was not sure why Resident #51 had monthly lab draws for Depakote. However since the labs were ordered
by the physician previously, the facility should have been drawing them. She stated that she looked at
quarterly labs for all residents and noted that Depakote labs were not drawn for Quarter 1 in 2024. She
stated Resident #51 was using Depakote for a mood disorder, which is an off-label use, and periodic lab
draws were only necessary to determine toxicity. She stated the risk for Resident #51 not having lab draws
for Depakote was very low since Resident #51 was stable. However, she added, in general the risk for not
following physician ordered lab draws could lead to delay in needed interventions for the care of the
resident.
Record Review of Resident #51 lab drawn on 06/26/2024 reflected, Valproic Acid < 12.5 ug/mL , Normal
Range: 50.0 - 100.0 ug/mL. (Lab values below normal range indicate resident is not at risk for depoakote
toxicity.)
Review of the facility policy titled Lab and Diagnostic Test Results - Clinical Protocol revised September
2012, reflected, Assessment and Recognition 1. The physician will identify, and order diagnostic and lab
testing based on diagnostic and monitoring needs. 2. The staff will process test requisitions and arrange for
tests

hands, then proceeded to add bread to the skillet that was heating on the gas stove. He then went to the
walk-in refrigerator, opened the door of the refrigerator with the same gloves, grabbed a packet of sliced
cheese, came back to the gas stove, removed cheese slices from the packet and added cheese slices onto
the bread without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene. The Dietary Manager then proceeded to
move utensils to the dishwashing area, without changing gloves. He came back to the gas stove to remove
the previous grilled cheese sandwich and added additional bread slices to the skillet, all by using the same
set of gloves or without performing hand hygiene.

Observation on 6/25/24 at 12:02 PM in facility's kitchen preparation and serving area revealed [NAME] I
and Dietary Aide J were shooing away the flies while serving lunch.
In an interview on 6/25/24 at 12:18 PM with the Dietary Manager, he stated he was not aware that he
needed to wash hands between kitchen tasks and just changing gloves would be adequate. He stated that
if he touched raw meats then he would have changed gloves and washed his hands. He stated he should
have changed gloves and performed hand hygiene when he went from different tasks that included meal
prep to refrigerator to dishwasher area. He stated the risk to resident for not performing adequate hand
hygiene while cooking or serving food was infection control and possibility of residents getting food borne
illness. He also stated he was aware that the facility had concerns with flies, but he had only seen flies in
the resident dining area. He stated the flies came through the back door of the facility and he had ordered a
blower that was to be delivered at a future date in July 2024 to the facility. He also added that the facility
had conducted pest control in June 2023. However, that was not as effective to control flies. He stated that
he had never seen flies in the kitchen area before, however later stated that since there was a door
between the kitchen and dining room, the flies could easily come into the kitchen from the dining area. He
stated that he threw away corn bread because he observed flies sitting on the corn bread. He stated that
risk of having flies in the kitchen or dining room could possibly lead to food borne illness in residents. He
stated that frozen broad beans should have a use-by date on them and the cook, dietary aide , and himself
were responsible for dating the foods. He stated that frozen beans were out of their original box and mixed
with other pre-cut vegetables such as spinach and hence labeling the box alone would not be sufficient. He
stated that cookies were prepared on 6/24/24 as a PM snack and should had been dated with the use-by
date and the dietary aide forgot to date it. His expectation was that all food items should have a use-by
date. He stated the risk of not dating food items was infection control.
In an interview on 6/25/24 at 12:47 PM with Dietary Aide J stated she had been working in the facility for 9
months. She stated that she had always seen house flies in the kitchen and had informed the Dietary
Manager about it. She stated that having flies in the kitchen posed a risk to the resident and can cause food
borne illness. She stated that the cookies were made on 6/24/24 as a night snack for the residents;
however, she forgot to date the cookies with use-by date on them. She stated that cooks and herself were
responsible for dating all food items and the risk for not dating food items correctly could cause residents
being sick.
An interview on 6/25/24 at 12:26 PM with [NAME] I revealed she had been working in the facility for 4
months. She stated they had seen flies in the kitchen since she started working at the facility. She stated
that the scoop was left on the top of the tray line since they were going to use it for serving food and had
not seen the flies on the scoop but was aware that they had flies in the kitchen. She stated if she was aware
that the flies had sat on the scoop, she would not have used the scoop for serving food. She stated that risk
to resident with having flies in the kitchen area was food borne illness. She stated that they received
in-services for dating and labeling all food items. She stated cooks, dietary aides and the Dietary Manager
were all responsible for labeling and putting use-by dates on all food items. She stated she did not work on
6/25/24 but stated the cookies should had a use-by date on them. She stated the risk for not dating food
items was infection control lapses in the kitchen.
An interview on 06/25/24 at 04:32 PM with the Administrator revealed the facility were aware of concerns
with flies in the facility for about 9-12 months, however she was not aware that they had flies in the kitchen
area. She stated that flies are nature and they are unable to control them. She stated they conducted a
thorough pest control of the kitchen in June 2023 to mitigate the risk. She

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for three (Resident #22, Resident
#34, and Resident #39) of eight residents reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure LVN E prevented cross contamination of a bottle of test strips used to obtain
glucose levels when she carried the bottle of test strips into Resident #22's room and returned it to the
medication cart without sanitizing it.
2. The facility failed to ensure CNA B and CNA C performed hand hygiene during incontinence care for
Resident #34.
3. The facility failed to ensure MA D sanitized the blood pressure cuff between uses on Resident #34 and
Resident # 39.
These failures could place residents at risk for infection and cross contamination.
Findings include:
1. Record review of Resident #22's face sheet, dated 07/26/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #22 had a diagnosis which included type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Observation during medication pass on 06/25/24 at 11:30 a.m. revealed LVN E preparing to obtain
fingerstick blood sugar for Resident #22. LVN E pulled a glucometer, a bottle of test strips, 3 lancets and an
alcohol wipe and gauze from the medication cart and entered the resident's room. LVN E placed the
supplies on the prepared barrier on his bedside table. LVN E performed hand hygiene and put on gloves
and proceeded to obtain the blood sugar reading. LVN E removed her gloves and gathered the glucometer,
lancets and used alcohol wipe, and the bottle of test strips and returned to the medication cart where she
disposed the lancet in the sharps container and laid the glucometer and bottle of test strips on the
medication cart. LVN E performed hand hygiene and put on gloves and cleaned the glucometer with a
germicidal wipe but did not clean the bottle of test strips. LVN E removed her gloves and performed hand
hygiene and then opened the medication cart and retrieved the Resident's insulin pen and placed the
un-sanitized bottle of test strips back into the medication cart.
In Interview with LVN E on 06/25/24 at 11:40 a.m., she stated she should have only carried in the supplies
she needed. She stated she just was not thinking. She stated anything carried in the room was considered
contaminated and needed to be sanitized prior to placing it back in the cart. She stated the risk for not
sanitizing the bottle of strips was cross contamination.
In an interview with the ADON on 06/25/24 at 01:00 p.m., she stated nurses were only to carry in required
supplies when doing a blood sugar test and should not carry in the entire bottle of test strips. She stated the
nurse should not put anything back in the cart without first sanitizing it due to the risk of cross
contamination.

Residents Affected - Some
year-old female with an admission date of 11/27/18. Resident #34 had a BIMS score of 14, which indicated
she was cognitively intact. She required extensive assistance of one-to-two-persons with toileting and was
frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder. Her diagnoses included diabetes and hemiplegia (partial
paralysis of one side).
Record review of Resident #34's care plan, revised on 01/05/24, reflected . The resident has bladder
incontinence related to activity intolerance .Interventions .Clean peri-area with each incontinence episode .
An observation on 06/24/24 at 03:25 p.m. revealed CNA B and CNA C entered Resident #34's room
preparing to provide incontinence care. Both staff performed hand hygiene and put on gowns and gloves.
CNA C unfastened Resident #34's brief to reveal the resident had been incontinent of urine and bowel.
CNA C pushed the soiled brief back toward the residents' buttocks and both staff assisted the resident to
roll on her side. CNA B took a peri- wipe and cleaned the resident's perineal area, wiping from front to back,
changed wipes and wiped each of the resident's buttocks and cleaned the anal area from front to back,
removing the small bowel movement. CNA B removed the soiled brief and with the same gloves, placed a
clean brief under the resident and rolled her back onto her back and fastened the brief. CNA B and CNA C
covered the resident with a sheet, repositioned her in the bed, and placed her personnel belongings back in
the bed with her and repositioned her bedside table, while still wearing the gloves used to perform
incontinence care. Staff then removed their gloves and gowns and left the room without performing hand
hygiene.
In an interview with CNA B and CNA C on 06/24/24 at 3:40 p.m., both stated they were supposed to wash
their hands before and after performing incontinence care. Both staff then stated they were supposed to
change their gloves during incontinence care, once they had cleaned the resident, they were supposed to
perform hand hygiene and change their gloves before they put the clean brief on her. They stated they were
supposed to perform hand hygiene before they left the room and verified, they had failed to do that. Both
staff members stated failure to perform hand hygiene placed the resident at risk of infections and stated
they had been in-serviced on hand hygiene and infection control.
In an interview with the ADON on 06/25/24 at 10:00 a.m., she stated staff were to change their gloves and
perform hand hygiene after they performed incontinence care and before applying the clean brief and
