The facility failed to ensure that opened insulin pens,1) Lantus 100 unit/ml and 2) Insulin pro 100units/ml were properly labeled and dated before storing in the 600-hall medication cart. This failure could place resident at risk by diminishing the effectiveness, and therapeutic benefits of the medications and/or result in medication error by giving the wrong resident the wrong insulin.The findings included:Observation on [DATE] at 11:03 AM with LVN B on the 600-hallway's medication cart revealed opened insulin pens: 1. Lantus 100 unit/ml and 2. Insulin pro 100 units/ml that had no patients' labels, and no dates indicating when the insulins were open.In an interview on [DATE] at 11:05 AM with LVN B he stated the nurses were responsible for checking all insulin pens and vials had patient labels and open dates. LVN B stated he did not realize the opened insulin pens Lantus 100 unit/ml and insulin pro 100 units/ml did not have labels and open dates. He stated that it was important to date opened insulins because opened insulins expire after 28 days. LVN B stated that the risk to the resident was receiving expired insulin that could cause negative drug effects that could harm the resident. He stated that having insulin in the medication cart that did not have the proper label could result in administering insulin to the wrong resident which may result in hospitalization. He stated that he knew that he was supposed to check and ensure all medications were within date before administering to the residents. LVN B stated that he had been in-serviced on medication storage and dating all opened insulins by online training and the administration. He stated that he would remove the unlabeled and undated insulin from the cart immediately.An interview on [DATE] at 1:47 PM with the DON, revealed that all insulin pens and vials should be labeled, and they should have an open date. She stated that it was the responsibility of every nurse to check the label and open date before administering insulin to a resident. The DON stated insulin was supposed to be dated because it expired 28 days after opening. She stated that failure to have open dates on insulin could result in administrating medication that was expired and could not be effective or that could have negative side effects to the resident. He stated the ADON audited the medication carts as needed, but there was not a set schedule. She stated that the pharmacist audited the medication carts monthly.Review of the facility policy PCU027 - Medication Storage in the Facility Policy reflected that: Medications and biologicals are stored safely, securely, and properly following manufacturer's recommendations or those of the supplier. The medication supply is accessible only to license nursing personnel, pharmacy personnel, or staff members lawfully authorized to administer medications. Outdated, contaminated, or deteriorated medications and those in containers that are cracked, soiled, or without secure closures are immediately removed from stock, disposed of according to the procedures for medication.

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 establish and 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 1 (Resident #2) of 6 residents reviewed for infection control. 1.LVN L failed to don (to put on) PPE prior to performing the high contact resident care activity on a resident who was on enhanced barrier precaution.This failure could place residents at risk for healthcare associated cross contamination and infections.Findings included:Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 07/19/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male, had a BIMs score of 8 indicating he was moderately cognitively impaired. The resident had diagnoses which included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods and liquids), Cerebrovascular accident (a disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell damage).Record review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 07/16/25, reflected (Residents name) requires tube feeding swallowing difficulty r/t CVA. Facility interventions included: Monitor/document/report to MD PRN: aspiration - fever, SOB, tube dislodged, infection at tube site, self-extubation, tube dysfunction or malfunction, abnormal breath/lung sounds, abnormal lab values, abdominal pain, distension, tenderness, constipation or fecal impaction, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, dehydration.Record review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 04/25/25, reflected (Residents name) was on enhanced barrier precautions. Facility interventions included: Gloves and gown should be donned if any of the following activities are to occur: linen change, resident hygiene, transfer, dressing, toileting/incontinent care, bed mobility, wound care, enteral feeding care, catheter care, trach care, bathing, or other high-contact activity.An observation on 08/13/25 at 8:46 AM, revealed Resident #2's room had an Enhance Barrier Precaution signage outside his room and cart set up with PPE. LVN L performed hand hygiene with sanitizer and entered Resident #2s' room, stopped the G tube feeding, administered medication via feeding tube and restarted the tube feeding Isosource 1.5 Cal . LVN L did not don PPE. An interview on 08/13/25 at 8:56 AM, revealed LVN L knew that Resident #2 was on enhanced barrier precaution, and she should have donned PPE before accessing the resident's (Resident#2) feeding tube. She stated that failure to use PPE could put the resident at risk for infection. She stated that she had been in-serviced on enhanced barrier precautions a few weeks ago.An interview on 08/13/25 at 1:41 PM with the DON revealed that her expectation was the staff should use appropriate PPE while providing care to residents on enhanced barrier precautions. She stated that risk to the patient was MDRO infection. She stated that the staff had been in-serviced on infection control and enhance barrier precautions. The facility policy titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions reflected: Multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission is common in long term care (LTC) facilities. Many residents in nursing homes are at increased risk of becoming colonized and developing infections with MDROs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refer to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms that employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities.EBP are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand the use of PPE to donning of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. A single set of PPE cannot be used for more than 1 patient. EBP are indicated for residents with any of the following: Colonization with a CDC-targeted MDRO when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply (see MDRO list on page 3); or Wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with a MDRO.Indwelling medical device examples include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and
