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. Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure .

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.

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, Fibercon 625 mg (supplement) 1 tablet, Lasix 40 mg (diuretic) 1 tablet, Multivitamin (supplement) 1 tablet, 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.

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.
