who are unable to carry out activities of daily living to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene for
one of thirteen residents (Resident # 18) reviewed for ADLs.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #18 had her facial hair removed and her nails cut.
These failures could place residents who were dependent on staff for ADL care at a loss of dignity and a
decreased quality of life.

Record review of Resident #18's annual MDS assessment, dated 06/20/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old
female with an admission date of 07/01/22 and a re-admission date of 03/13/24. Resident #18 had BIMS
score of 3 which indicated she was severely cognitively impaired. She required moderate assistance for
bathing and personal hygiene. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's and osteoarthritis (chronic condition that
breaks down the cartilage in the joints, causing pain and stiffness).

In an observation on 09/11/24 at 01:40 p.m. Resident #18 was observed to have multiple chin hairs that
were over 2 inches long. Resident nails were clean but approximately ½ inch in length and some
were jagged. Resident appeared clean and had no body odor.
In an interview on 09/11/24 at 01:42 p.m. with Resident #18, she stated she did not like the long chin hairs
because she was a woman not a man and they bugged her. She stated she did not know the staff could
take care of that for her and stated she would love to have the chin hair removed. Resident #18 stated she
did not like her nails long but did not know the staff could do that for her either.
In an interview with Agency CNA E on 09/11/24 at 02:00 p.m. she stated she had showered Resident #18
on 09/06/24 and 09/09/24. She stated she showers her when she is on shift. She stated the resident will let
her clean her nails but would not let her cut them. She stated she had tried to get her to let her cut them
yesterday (09/10/24) but had not told the nurse. She stated she meant to go back and try again. She stated
she had overlooked her chin hair and stated she would take care of that today. She stated it would bug her
if she had chin hair, so she knew it probably bothered the resident. She stated they are supposed to shave

services necessary to maintain good nutrition, grooming and personal and oral hygiene .If residents with
cognitive impairment or dementia resist care, staff will attempt to identify the underlying cause of the
problem and not just assume the resident is refusing or declining care. Approaching the resident in a
different way or at a different time, or having another staff member speak with the resident may be
appropriate .

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan,
and the resident's choices for 1 (Resident #7) of 6 residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to follow physician orders and perform wound treatments as ordered for Resident #7.
1. The ADON failed to discontinue the previous physician order from a xeroform dressing for Resident #7's
surgical incision to the updated order for a wet to dry dressing on 07/01/2024.
2. Agency LVN D failed to notify the ADON, DON, or Physician of the conflicting orders and provided a
xeroform and wet to dry dressing of Resident #7's incision site on 09/10/2024.
These failures could place residents at risk for complications including skin break down, infection, or
decreased physical and mental functioning.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #7's comprehensive MDS assessment, dated 08/31/2024, revealed she was a
[AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. She had a BIMS score
of 7 which indicated she was severely cognitively impaired. Diagnoses included hypertension (high blood
pressure), dementia (loss of cognition), Parkinson's disease (brain disorder that causes uncontrollable
movements), and infection following a surgical procedure.
Record review of Resident #7's care plan, initiated on 05/21/2024 and updated on 07/03/2024, reflected the
resident had a surgical wound to her lower right extremity and interventions included monitor area for
increase of breakdown ., signs of infection and report to the physician.
Record review of Resident #7's physician orders dated 08/12/2024 to 09/12/2024 reflected, RIGHT LOWER

Agency LVN C removed the ace wrap which revealed one closed surgical incision line that ran vertically
down the right shin with a portion of the incision opened at the bottom of the incision. There were two small
yellow square gauzes located on the top portion of the closed incision site and a white gauze over the lower
portion of the open incision. Agency LVN C removed the two yellow squares and the white gauze from the
incision site and wiped the site top to bottom with a gauze dipped in saline solution. The lower portion of the
incision had an open area about a half of an inch long. She wiped the incision site with dry gauze, placed a
wet gauze soaked with saline over the site and wrapped the lower right leg with an ace bandage. Agency
LVN C stated that Agency LVN D performed the previous dressing change early in the morning of
09/10/2024.
In an interview on 09/10/2024 at 3:33 PM with Agency LVN C revealed the small yellow square gauze was
a xeroform dressing. She stated that was not the current order. She stated that Agency LVN D had
performed the wound care.
In an interview on 09/10/2024 at 3:35 PM with the DON revealed there were two orders for Resident #7's
surgical incision and the order for xeroform should have been discontinued. She stated that using xeroform
instead of a wet to dry dressing could cause a resident's wound to breakdown. She stated that it was the
responsibility of the ADON to review and update orders weekly.
Interview on 09/11/2024 at 7:36 AM with Agency LVN D revealed she did the wound dressing change for
Resident #7 on 09/09/2024 and remembered she used the xeroform on the top of the closed incision site,
cleaned and dressed the open portion of the incision with gauze, and covered both with a bandage and an
ace wrap. Agency LVN D stated that she was aware of the two orders and thought it was confusing, so she
used the xeroform on the closed part of the incision and the gauze at the bottom of the incision. She stated
that when there were conflicting orders they were supposed to inform the Nurse Practitioner to determine
which order to discontinue. She stated that she did not contact the Nurse Practitioner or inform the DON
and was not sure why she did not inform them. She stated that the risk to the resident for using xeroform
when it was supposed to be a wet to dry dressing put a resident at risk of the wound not healing properly.
In an interview on 09/13/2024 at 1:17 PM with the ADON revealed the nurse on the floor was responsible
for entering new orders and contacted the physician to clarify orders that conflicted. The ADON reviewed
Resident #7's progress note dated 07/01/2024 that reflected the physician ordered a wet to dry dressing
and was written by the ADON. She stated she was responsible to discontinue the xeroform order but must
have missed it. She stated she did not think there was a risk to the resident, the xeroform kept the site
moist and the wet to dry was a debridement (a procedure that removes dead, infected, or damaged tissue
from a wound) of the site.
Review of facility's wound care policy, titled Wound Care dated 2001 and revised July 2024 reflected, .1.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and services to prevent
complications of enteral feeding for one of one resident (Resident #4) reviewed for feeding tubes.
1. The facility failed to ensure LVN A flushed Resident #4's G-Tube with 30 cc of water prior to the
medication administration per physician's orders.
2. The facility failed to ensure LVN A dissolved all the medications prior to administration through Resident
#4's G-Tube.
3. The facility failed to ensure LVN A administered medications through Resident #4's G-Tube by gravity,
and instead she pushed one of the medications with the plunger and syringe.
4. The facility failed to ensure LVN A clamped the tubing before it drained completely between each
medication administration.
These failures could affect residents by placing them at risk of abdominal discomfort, obstruction of the
G-tube and incomplete medication administrations.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #4's Significant change MDS assessment, dated 06/24/24, reflected a [AGE]
year-old female with and re-admission date 06/14/24. Resident #4's BIMS score was 0 which indicated she
was severely cognitively impaired. She was totally depended on all ADL and always incontinent of bowel
and bladder and received 51% or more of total calories through a feeding tube (a tube inserted through the
abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach). Diagnoses included dehydration, dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing) and cerebral palsy (a congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture due to
abnormal brain development).
Record review of Resident #4's Care Plan, initiated on 06/20/24, reflected, .Feeding tube- Enteral nutrition
for nutrition and hydration, with potential for complications, side effects .Interventions Administer tube
feeding and water flushes as ordered. See MD orders for current feeding orders .
Record review of Resident #4's Physicians Order Report, dated 08/11/24 through 09/11/24, reflected,

the capsules back into the bottle and placed the remaining capsule into a plastic cup. LVN A then opened
the capsule with her bare hands into the plastic cup and diluted it with 30 cc of water. LVN A then proceed
to pull Amlodipine 10 mg (blood pressure medication) 1 tablet, Vitamin C 500 mg (supplement) 1 tablet,
Aspirin 81 mg (analgesic) 1 tablet, Vitamin D3 2000 units (supplement) 5 tablets to equal 10,000 units,

Paroxetine HCL 10 mg (antidepressant) 1 tablet, Senna 8.6 mg (laxative) 1 tablet, and Prostat liquid protein
30 ml. LVN A placed each of the medications into a separate plastic cup, crushed them and diluted them
with 30 cc of water and entered the resident's room with the medications. LVN A went to the resident's
bathroom and filled two plastic cups with water and a larger plastic container with water and placed them
on the bedside table with the medications. LVN A then donned a gown and gloves and retrieved the 60-cc
piston syringe and placed the syringe in the end of the resident's G-tube and drew back 30 cc of gastric
residual. She re-instilled the residual to the resident's stomach. LVN A then placed the 60-cc syringe into
the G-Tube and began pouring the cup containing the Vitamin D3 without first flushing the tube with 30 cc
of water. The medication had not dissolved and had visible solid particles in the cup. LVN A poured the
medication into the tube. The medication would not go down the tube by gravity. LVN A then picked up the
plunger and placed it into the syringe and pushed the medication. The syringe was coated with the
remaining undissolved medication. LVN A then removed the plunger and poured approximately 30 cc of
water allowing the tube to completely empty, before pouring the next medication. LVN A continued with the
next nine medications, allowing each time for the tube to completely empty prior to pouring the water flush
and the next medication. LVN A then poured the undiluted, very thick Prostat into the tube, where it stayed.
LVN A then removed the syringe with the Prostat and poured it back into a cup and diluted it with water.
LVN A then re-attached the syringe and poured the diluted Prostat back into the tube. After completion of
the medication administration LVN A flushed the tube with 30 ccs of water. She removed her gown and
gloves and returned to the medication cart.
In an interview with LVN A on 09/11/24 at 9:50 a.m., she stated she was supposed to flush with 30 cc of
water before and after completion of medication administration and flush with 30cc between each
medication. She stated she did not know she could not push the medication when it would not go down the
tube. She stated she knew the medication was not dissolved well but stated she knew she could not mix the
medications prior and stated they would have required a longer time to completely dissolve. She stated she
was not aware she was not supposed to let the tube empty completely between medications. She stated
Resident #4 was the only resident in the facility with a G-tube and she is not normally assigned to her. She
stated the resident received bolus feedings but was also eating. She stated the Prostat liquid protein should
be given orally since it was so thick.
In an interview on 09/11/24 at 1:00 p.m. the DON stated the facility policy was to flush G-Tubes with 30cc of
water before and after medications, and medications were to be given by gravity. She stated pushing the
medications could cause displacement of the tube. She stated the nurse should have made sure all the
medications were dissolved and they should maintain a continuous flow of medication followed by water
without allowing air in between. She stated by not keeping a consistent flow it can allow air in the resident's
stomach.
Record Review of LVN A's skills check for Medication administration Via G-tube dated 03/14/24 reflected
she was competent in the procedure.
Record review of the facility's policy, Administering Medications through an Enteral Tube, dated March
2015, reflected, .Dilute the crushed or split medication with 15-30 ml room temperature tap water (or

on continuously. She stated they had to have orders for continuous oxygen and stated she was not aware
there were no orders for continuous oxygen. She stated she does not know why it would have been on 2.5
liters per minute earlier today (09/10/24). She stated she was responsible for checking the oxygen levels
each shift and checking the amount of oxygen delivered. She stated the resident had required up to 4 liters
per minute ever since she came back from the hospital. She stated anything lower, and her oxygen
saturations would drop. She stated she should have checked the orders instead of assuming the order was
there.
In an interview with the DON on 09/10/24 at 02:28 p.m. she stated anyone on continuous oxygen should
have an order for continuous oxygen and the amount to be delivered per minute. She stated a PRN order is
intended for as needed for short term use, but if they needed it all time the order needed to specify that.
She stated the nurses should be checking the rate of oxygen anytime they were checking vital signs and
oxygen saturation levels to ensure they were receiving the correct amount of oxygen. She stated too much
oxygen could result in oxygen toxicity.

Record review of Resident #253's Medication Administration Record, dated 09/02/2024-09/12/2024,
reflected it was not documented that the physician order was completed.
Residents Affected - Some
In an observation on 09/10/2024 at 9:56 AM, Resident #253 was observed laying in bed with oxygen via a
nasal cannula. The humidifier bottle was empty and undated. Resident #253 stated she was blind and did
not know the humidifier bottle was empty.
In an interview on 09/10/2024 at 10:42 AM with CNA G revealed the nurses were responsible to change
humidifier bottles and CNAs were responsible to let nurses know if the humidifier needed to be replaced
and the humidifier bottle should be dated when put in the oxygen machine. CNA G stated she had not
noticed that the humidifier bottles were empty for Resident #28 and Resident #253 and was going to inform
the nurse immediately.
In an interview on 09/10/2024 at 10:45 AM interview with Agency LVN C revealed she was unaware that
the humidifier bottle was empty for Resident #28 or Resident #253 and would address it immediately. She
stated that tubing and humidifier bottles were changed every Sunday for sanitation purposes. She stated
that if a CNA noticed the humidifier is low they should notify a nurse so that it could be replaced.
In an interview and observation on 09/11/2024 at 10:12 AM with the ADON revealed Resident #28's and
Resident #253's oxygen humidifiers were empty and undated. The ADON stated that there should be
humidifier bottles in the supply closet and observation of the supply closet revealed a box of humidifier
bottles. The ADON took two humidifier bottles and attempted to attach them to Resident #28's and
Resident #253's oxygen machines. The ADON stated that the humidifier bottles were not the exact right
size, but she was able to get them attached and working properly for the residents and she expected any
other nurse to be able to do the same. The ADON stated the nurses were responsible to change the
humidifier and tubing weekly or as needed. She stated if a CNA observed an empty humidifier bottle, they
notified the nurse and if it was not addressed by the nurse then they were supposed to notify the ADON or
the Weekend Supervisor and repeat the process or escalate it to the DON if it was not completed. She
stated that it was important to ensure humidifier bottles were replaced when empty because the humidifier
fluid kept the nasal passages moist to prevent nose bleeds, soreness, or a stuffy nose. She stated she was
not sure if the humidifier bottle or tubing should be dated but she dated the humidifier bottles because it
was what she always had done.
In an interview with the DON on 09/12/24 at 8:48 a.m. she stated the staff were not to sign off any time
before the administration of a task or a medication. She stated this placed residents at risk if the task did
not get completed and not having their services or treatments administered as ordered. She stated the
tubing and humidor were changed weekly to reduce the risk of respiratory infections.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Oxygen Administration, dated October 2010, reflected, The

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to use the services of a registered nurse for at least
8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week for 1 of 1 facility reviewed for RN coverage.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to provide RN coverage for 8 consecutive hours daily on Saturdays and Sundays in June,
July, and August 2024.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect residents in the facility by leaving staff without supervisory
coverage for RN-specific nursing activities.
Findings include:
Record Review of RN timesheets for June to September 2024 for facility and Agency staff revealed no RN
coverage for the following weekends: 06/01/24 - 06/02/24, 06/08/24 - 06/09/24, 06/15/24 - 06/16/24,
06/22/24 - 06/23/24, 06/29/24 - 06/30/24, 07/13/24 - 07/14/24, 07/20/24 - 07/21/24, 08/03/24 - 08/04/24,
08/10/24 - 08/11/24 and 08/24/24 - 08/25/24.
Interview on 09/12/24 at 2:08 PM with ADON revealed she was contacted on the weekends when facility
did not have RN coverage on the weekends. She stated she would notify the DON if she needed further
assistance.
Interview on 09/12/24 at 2:11 PM with DON revealed she did not provide RN coverage on the weekends.
She stated the previous weekend RN Supervisor was a no show on the first weekend in August 2024. She
stated in September 2024 they have RN coverage on the weekends from agency staff.
Interview on 09/12/24 at 2:40 PM with LVN A revealed there had not been RN coverage until the last couple
of weekends this month. She was not sure how long the facility had been without RN weekend coverage.
She stated the agency RN coverage, which was just started in the last couple of weeks, helped and agency
RN provided support to them while at the facility. She stated when the facility had no RN coverage on the
weekends they would call or text the ADON about any issues or concerns. She stated there was a manager
on duty each weekend but were not RNs. She stated the DON worked only during the week.
Interview on 09/13/24 at 3:45 PM with LVN L revealed the facility had been without RN coverage on the
weekends since previous RN was employed by the facility and now for the last 2 weeks had used agency
RN coverage for the weekends. She stated when there was no RN coverage for the facility on the
weekends they would call the ADON who was an LVN to assist them as needed. She stated having the
agency RN was helpful and would support them while at the facility on the weekends assisting as needed.
She stated the DON worked only during the week.
Interview on 09/13/24 at 11:00 AM with Administrator revealed she became aware yesterday of RN
coverage issues on the weekend. She stated they will be using agency RN on the weekends until they can
hire a full time RN for weekend coverage. She stated she was aware of the regulation to have RN coverage
daily and the risk of having the ADON be the contact person for the weekends was it could place her out of
the scope of her practice as an LVN.

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 establish and maintain an infection prevention
and control program designated to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help
prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for three of thirteen
residents (Resident #32, Resident #7, and Resident #4) reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to ensure LVN A disinfected the blood pressure cuff in between blood pressure checks
for Residents #32, Resident #7, and Resident #4) on 09/11/24.

LVN A picked up the pill with her bare hands and placed it in the medication cup with 10 other medications.
LVN A then removed a bottle of artificial tears, a bottle of Flonase allergy spray and a bottle of Nystatin
powder (antifungal) from the medication cart and entered the resident's room. LVN A placed the eye drops,
the Nasal allergy spray, and the Nystatin powder onto the resident's bedside table without cleaning the
surface of the table. LVN A administered the oral medications to Resident #32 and then went to the
bathroom to obtain a paper towel. While LVN A was in the bathroom, Resident #32 picked up the bottle of
Nasal spray and self-administered her nasal spray. LVN A put on gloves without performing hand hygiene
and administered the eye drops to each of the resident's eyes. LVN A removed her gloves and performed
hand hygiene and put on clean gloves and applied the Nystatin powder under each of the resident's
breasts. LVN A removed her gloves and then went to pick up the eye drops, Allergy spray and antifungal
powder when she dropped the bottle of eye drops onto the floor. LVN A picked up the eye drops and
returned to the medication cart, where she placed all three items on top of the medication cart. LVN A
discarded her gloves and performed hand hygiene and then picked up the eye drops, nasal spray and
anti-fungal powder and placed them back in the medication cart without sanitizing them.
Continued observation of medication pass with LVN A on 09/11/24 at 9:25 a.m. revealed her outside of
Resident #4's room to provide G-Tube medication administration. LVN A entered the Residents room with
the rolling blood pressure cuff and monitor without sanitizing it and took the resident's blood pressure. LVN
A returned to the medication cart and began pulling the resident's medication without performing hand
hygiene or cleaning the blood pressure cuff. LVN A opened a bottle of Acidophilous 10 mg (probiotic) and
poured two capsules into the lid of the bottle and then used her bare hands to put one of the capsules back
into the bottle and placed the remaining capsule into a plastic cup. LVN A then opened the capsule with her
bare hands into the plastic cup and diluted it with 30 cc of water. LVN A then proceeded to pull the
remaining nine medications and entered Resident #4's room. LVN A went to the resident's bathroom and
filled two plastic cups with water and a larger plastic container with water and placed them on the bedside
table with the medications. LVN A then donned a gown and gloves and retrieved the 60-cc piston syringe
and placed the syringe in the end of the resident's G-tube and drew back 30 cc of gastric residual. She
re-instilled the residual to the resident's stomach and proceeded with the medication administration. LVN A
then removed her gown and gloves and returned to the medication cart and performed hand hygiene.
In an interview with LVN A on 09/11/24 at 9:50 a.m., she stated she was supposed to clean the blood
pressure cuff between each resident and stated she had not done that. She stated she just forgot. She
stated she should have sanitized the eye drops and other items taken into the resident's room and should
not have set them on the bedside table. She stated the resident had the Flonase in her hand before she
even realized it. She stated she did not know she should not have touched the pill with her hands and
stated she guessed she should have discarded the pill when she dropped it on the medication cart and was
not aware she could not touch the pills with her bare hands. She stated she was supposed to perform hand
hygiene before and after any contact with residents and after glove removal and guessed she had missed
some steps. She stated, I just messed up. She stated all these failures could result in the spread of germs
and infections.
In an interview with the DON on 09/11/24 at 1:05 p.m., she stated the staff were required to clean the blood
pressure equipment used after each use before using it another resident. She stated failure to do this could
potentially spread germs. She stated staff were to do hand hygiene before starting their medication pass
and after. She stated at no time were they to touch any medication with their bare hands, and if they
dropped a pill on the cart, they should discard it. She stated they should not be placing medication bottles
on the bedside table
