Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews the facility failed to coordinate assessments with pre-admission screening
and resident review (PASRR) program under Medicaid to the maximum extent practicable to avoid
duplicative testing and effort which included referring all level II residents and all residents with newly
evident or possible serious mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition for level II resident
review upon a significant change in status assessment for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #61) reviewed for
PASRR Level I screenings.
The facility failed to ensure the correct PASRR (a preliminary assessment completed for all individuals
before admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility to determine whether they might have a mental
illness or intellectual disability) Level 1 Screening was submitted to the local authority for Resident #61 who
had a diagnosis of mental illness upon admission.
This failure could place residents at risk for a diminished quality of life and not receiving necessary care
and services in accordance with individually assessed needs.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #61's face sheet dated 01/15/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), bipolar disorder (mental illness that
causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels), anxiety (intense, excessive, and persistent
worry and fear about everyday situations), and depression (persistent feeling of sadness and loss of
interest that can interfere with daily activities).
Record review of Resident #61's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #61 was
able to make herself understood and understood others. Resident #61 had a BIMS score of 10, indicating
her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #61 had an active diagnosis of bipolar
disorder and had received antipsychotic medication within the last 7 days of the 7-day look back period.
Record review of Resident #61's comprehensive care plan dated 12/29/24, indicated Resident #61 required
anti-psychotic medications. The care plan interventions included to administer medications as ordered,
monitor/record occurrence of target behavior symptoms, and to monitor/record/report to medical director as
needed side effects and adverse reactions of psychoactive medications.
Record review of Resident #61's PASRR Level 1 Screening form dated 11/20/24, indicated Resident #61

Record review of Resident #61's order summary report dated 01/15/25, indicated she had an order for
quetiapine (antipsychotic medication) 100mg give one tablet by mouth one time a day for anxiety related to
bipolar disorder with an order date of 11/27/24.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #61's medication administration record dated 01/01/25- 01/31/25, indicated she
had received quetiapine 100mg one tablet by mouth daily for anxiety related to bipolar disorder.
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 10:22 AM, MDS Coordinator D said when a resident admitted to the
facility and their PASRR did not indicate they had a mental illness, they would not know if a corrected
PASRR Level 1 needed to be completed. MDS Coordinator D said since Resident #61 had a diagnosis of
mental disorder then a Form 1012 or a new PASRR level 1 screening form should have been completed.
MDS Coordinator D said since she missed Resident #61 diagnosis of bipolar disorder, Resident #61 did not
have a positive PASRR level 1 screening. This placed Resident #61 at risk for not receiving PASRR
services through the local authority. MDS Coordinator D said she was responsible for ensuring the PASRR
Level 1 Screening forms were completed correctly .
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 3:27 PM, the DON said he was not familiar with the PASRR process.
The DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for completing the PASRR Level 1 Screening forms
accurately. The DON said by not completing the PASRR Level 1 screening correctly and the resident was
positive for a mental illness they could fail to address the resident's mental health.
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 4:02 PM, the Administrator said she expected the policy for PASRR to
be followed as well as the regulation. The Administrator said if a resident had a history of mental health,
then the PASRR Level 1 screening should be addressed and followed up on. The Administrator said the
MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring the PASRR Level 1 Screenings were completed accurately
so the residents received the services they need to maintain their highest level of functioning.
Record review of the facility's policy and procedure, PASRR Level 1 Screen Policy and Procedure, indicated
. it is the policy of [same corporate owned healthcare facilities] to obtain a PL1 screening form from the
referring entity prior to the Nursing Facility . The PASRR Program is important because it provides options
for individuals to choose where they live, who they live with and the training and therapy they need to live as
independently as possible . 3. The facility will review the PL1 Screening Form for completion and
correctness prior to admission and submit the PL1 form per regulations . review each item on the PL1 to
ensure accuracy and prevent a regulatory problem .

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs, for 1 of 6 (Resident #9) residents
reviewed for the care plans.
The facility failed to ensure a fall mat was beside Resident #9's bed as stated in her care plan.
This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to meet
their current needs.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated 01/15/25, indicated an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Dementia (loss
of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that were severe enough to interfere with
daily life), Bipolar disorder (a chronic mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings
between periods of mania (elevated mood), depression (low mood), and high blood pressure.
Record review of Resident #9's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/25/24, indicated Resident #9 usually
makes herself understood and understood others. Resident #9's BIMS score was 06, which meant she was
severely cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #9 required help with toileting bed mobility,
dressing, transfers, personal hygiene, and eating. The MDS indicated she had a fall on a prior assessment.
Record review of Resident #9's physician's order dated 02/23/24 indicated: May have a fall mat at the
bedside every shift.
Record review of Resident #9's comprehensive care plan, with a revised date of 12/24/24, indicated
Resident #9 had a diagnosis of insomnia (a sleep disorder that makes it hard to fall or stay asleep) and was
at risk for impaired sleep pattern, mood swings, and increased risk for falls. The intervention was to apply a
fall mat at the bedside.
During an observation on 01/14/25 at 10:44 a.m., Resident #9 was lying in her bed with no fall mat on the
floor next to her bed.
During an observation and interview on 01/15/25 at 8:48 a.m., Resident #9 was lying in her bed with no fall
mat noted at the bedside. Resident #9's roommate said Resident #9 had a fall mat but unknown date of
when she saw it last. The roommate said Resident #9 had attempted to get up in the past, but she would
push her call light for someone to help her. CNA I came to Resident #9's room and verified Resident #9's
fall mat was not placed beside the bed. She said she knew Resident #9 had a fall mat and should have had
a fall mat beside her bed because she was at risk of falling. LVN E looked at Resident #9's electronic
medical records and verified Resident #9 had an order for a fall mat at the bedside. LVN E said she started
working on Resident #9's hall in November of 2024 but could not remember if she ever saw a fall mat for
Resident #9 .

During an interview on [DATE] at 1:05 p.m., the DON said the process for reconciled medications that
needed to be disposed of was for the nurses to let him know when a medication had been discontinued or
a resident had expired. He said he would get the medication and sign off on the narcotic sheet with the
nurse indicating how many medications were left, he said then he would log the medication. The DON
opened his locked cabinet and revealed an unknown number of medications that were not logged on the
drug destruction sheet. The DON said he had not had time to log the medication, therefore the medication
log was not up to date. He said his last drug destruction was on [DATE] and no meds had been logged
since then. He said he was not sure about the destruction policy, but he said he would look. He said he
always tried to log the medications when he received them, but he had a lot of residents who either
discharged or expired. The DON said he was responsible for logging the medication when it was brought to
him. The DON said by not logging the medications there was a risk for medications to come up missing.
Record review of the facility's medication destruction binder on [DATE] indicated the last medication
destruction was completed on [DATE].
2. Record review of Resident #10's face sheet, dated [DATE], indicated a [AGE] year-old female who was

Record review of Resident #10's Physician order dated [DATE] indicated: Fiasp FlexTouch Subcutaneous
Solution Pen-injector 100 units per milliliter (Insulin Aspart (with Niacinamide), Inject 12 units
subcutaneously three times a day related to diagnosis of Diabetes.
Record review of Resident #10's comprehensive care plan, dated [DATE], indicated Resident #10 had
Diabetes Mellitus. The interventions were to administer medication as ordered and monitor/document for
side effects and effectiveness.
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 4:45 p.m., LVN E went to take Resident #10's blood
sugar. The reading was 340. She reviewed the order and it read to give 12 units of Fiasp. LVN E turned the
insulin pen to 12 units and gave the insulin to Resident #10. LVN E did not prime the insulin pen. LVN E
said she had never primed her insulin pen and was not aware she needed to.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 1:32 p.m., the facility's Pharmacist said nurses should check the
blood sugar and then the order. She said they should then prime the insulin pen to ensure it was working
properly. She said failure to check the insulin pen before use could cause the insulin pen not to deliver the
correct dose. She said the DON was responsible for overseeing the expired or discontinued medications.
She said then the DON was responsible for logging it on the destruction sheet and keeping it under double
lock until she came to destroy it .
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:48 p.m., the DON said he expected the nurses to administer the insulin
correctly. He said they should verify the order, wipe the end of the insulin pen, apply the needle, and give
the medication. The DON said he was not aware that the nurses should prime the insulin pen before use.
He said after reading the guidelines about how the insulin pen should be primed first, he said it was
important for the residents to receive the correct amount of insulin to prevent hyper (too high blood sugar)
or hypoglycemia (too low blood sugar). He said he had not done any skill checkoff since employment 5
weeks ago, but he had done periodical checks on staff. He said skill checks should be done yearly and as
needed.
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m., the Administrator said she expected the expired or
discontinued narcotics to be given to the DON with the narcotic count sheet. She said she expected the
DON to log the narcotic medications as soon as possible and give her a copy each time. She said it was the
DON's responsibility to ensure the process was being completed. She said failure to follow the process
could lead to medications being taken, lost, or not destroyed properly. The Administrator said she expected
staff to administer insulin correctly. She said if they did not prime or check the insulin pen it could deliver too
much or not enough medication which could cause the resident sugar to rise or be lowered. She said the
ADON/DON was the overseer of the insulin process.
Record review of the facility policy titled, Drug Destruction Policy, from the Pharmacy Policy & Procedure
Manual 2003, revised [DATE], indicated It is the policy of this facility to destroy dangerous and controlled
medications according to the State of Texas law. 2. Drugs to be destroyed will be destroyed under the
supervision of a consultant pharmacist and at least one of the following: Director of Nursing, Assistant
Director of Nursing, or Administrator. 3. Nursing staff will submit to the Director of Nursing any medication
and any applicable log that has expired, been discontinued by the physician or that had been prescribed to
a resident who no longer resides at the facility. 4. The nurse submitting the discontinued medication, will
verify along with the Director of Nursing that the amount of medication remaining matches the log. After
verification, both the nurse and the Director of Nursing will sign the log. 5. The nurse will make a copy of the
signed log and provide it to the administrator. The Director of Nursing will maintain the original log and
medication. 6. The

Record review of the facility policy titled, Insulin pen Use from the Pharmacy Policy & Procedure Manual
2003 revised [DATE], indicated, Always attach a new needle before each use. Always perform the safety
test before each injection. Do not select a dose or press the injection button without a needle attached. This
pen is only for one resident's use. Never use an insulin pen if it is damaged or if you are not sure that it is
working properly. Never withdraw insulin from the insulin pen with a needle and syringe this will affect the
structural integrity of the insulin pen and could possibly introduce contaminates. Step 1 Check the insulin,
Step 2. Attach the needle. Step 3. Perform a Safety test: Always perform the safety test before each
injection. Performing the safety test ensures that you get an accurate dose by: ensuring that pen and
needle work properly and removing air bubbles. A. Select a dose of 2 units by turning the dosage selector.
B. Hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards. C. Tap the insulin reservoir so that any air bubbles rise
towards the needle. D. Press the injection button all the way in. Check if insulin comes out of the needle tip.
You may have to perform the safety test several times before insulin is seen. If no insulin comes out, check
for air bubbles, and repeat the safety test two more times to remove them. If still no insulin comes out, the
needle may be blocked. Change the needle and try again

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #56's comprehensive care plan dated 07/30/24, indicated Resident #56 had a
mood problem with interventions to administer medications as ordered.
Record review of the psychotropic medication utilization report dated 11/06/24, indicated Resident #56 had
an order for antidepressant medication, paroxetine, 10mg give one tablet by mouth one time a day for other
specified depressive disorders with an ordered date of 11/16/23 and a GDR date of 11/05/24. The report
indicated the next GDR request was on 05/30/25. The pharmacy GDR recommendation for Resident #56's
paroxetine could not be located in the pharmacy recommendations nor Resident #56's electronic medical
records.
During an interview on 01/15/25 beginning at 12:45 PM, the Administrator stated the facility staff were
unable to locate the pharmacy recommendations for November 2024. The Administrator stated she was
unsure if any changes or gradual dose reductions for psychotropic medications were implemented or if a
rational was documented by the physician.
During an interview on 01/15/25 beginning at 1:16 PM, the Pharmacy Consultant stated the timeframe for
implementing a gradual dose reduction or pharmacy recommendation was 24 to 48 hours. The Pharmacy
Consultant stated the facility has had some turnover recently with the DONs and she believed the ADON
had been working night shift a lot. The Pharmacy Consultant stated she has had to teach the process for
pharmacy recommendations with each new DON and believed the lack of consistent staff had made it hard
to implement and monitor the pharmacy recommendations. The Pharmacy Consultant stated she expected
the facility staff to ensure the physician was reviewing the recommendations and documenting a rational for
non-attempts of gradual dose reduction. The Pharmacy Consultant stated it was important to ensure
pharmacy recommendations were followed up on and gradual dose reductions were documented to make
sure the residents were monitored. The Pharmacy Consultant stated it was important to ensure the
residents were taking the least amount of medication at the most therapeutic dosage for them. The
Pharmacy Consultant stated she was unaware Resident #56 was taking buspirone. The Pharmacy
Consultant stated buspirone was an antianxiety medication. The Pharmacy Consultant stated a gradual
dose reduction should had been attempted twice in the first year it was prescribed and then annually
thereafter. The Pharmacy Consultant stated it was important to ensure psychotropic drug monitoring was
implemented to ensure the resident needed the medication and to monitor for side effects related to drug
use.
During an interview on 01/15/25 beginning at 2:01 PM, the Medical Director stated he spent most of his
time at the facility completing and signing the pharmacy recommendations. The Medical Director stated the
facility staff tracked him down to ensure the recommendations were signed and completed. The Medical
Director stated if he disagreed with the recommendations for a gradual dose reduction, he always
documented a rational. The Medical Director stated he expected the facility staff to ensure pharmacy
recommendations were included as part of the medical record. The Medical Director stated it was important
to ensure documentation of the pharmacy recommendations were kept as proof the residents' medications
were being monitored.
During an interview on 01/15/24 beginning at 3:27 PM, the DON said GDR reductions should be completed
by the physician. The DON said the residents' medications should be reviewed for possible dosage
reduction. The DON said the process when pharmacy recommendations were received was as follows: the
DON received the recommendations from the Pharmacy Consultant, he then made a copy of the
recommendations and sent one to the physician and kept one for himself, as signed recommendations
came in, he would then check them off. The DON said the physician had to review them within 30 days or
before the next recommendations were received. The DON said by not completing a gradual dose reduction

active. The DON said he was responsible for ensuring the pharmacy recommendations were being
implemented.
During an interview on 01/15/24 at 04:02 PM, the Administrator said she expected the residents'
medications to be reviewed monthly by the Pharmacy Consultant. The Administrator said the pharmacy
recommendations for gradual dose reductions should be discussed with the physician and the physician
should provide a rationale for his decisions. The Administrator said the Pharmacist should have been aware
Resident #56 had been receiving buspirone. The Administrator said failure to address medications for
gradual dose reductions could place residents at risk for not having a medication regiment that was optimal
to receive the best outcomes. The Administrator said the pharmacy recommendations were received by the
ADON and the DON should have ensured the accuracy. The Administrator said they currently did not have
an ADON.
During an interview on 01/15/25 beginning at 4:31 PM, the Administrator stated the Pharmacy Consultant
should have reviewed the resident's medications every month and sent a list of pharmacy
recommendations to the nurse management. The Administrator stated the nursing management was
responsible for ensuring the Medical Director reviewed, signed, and documented a rational on the
recommendations. The Administrator stated the nursing management was responsible for ensuring
pharmacy recommendations were carried out. The Administrator stated after all the steps were completed
the recommendations should have been uploaded into the medical record. The Administrator stated it was
important to ensure gradual dose reductions were attempted on psychotropic medications or a rational was
documented to ensure residents were receiving the optimal dosage of medication for good outcomes.
Record review of the facility's policy, Psychotropic Drugs, revised 10/25/17, indicated . The intent of this
policy is that each resident's entire drug/medication regimen is managed and monitored to promote or

associated with mental processes and behavior. These drugs include, but are not limited to, drugs in the
following categories: (i) Anti-psychotic; (ii) Anti-depressant; (iii) Anti-anxiety; and (iv) Hypnotic . The facility
will ensure that .2. Residents who use psychotropic drugs receive gradual dose reductions, and behavioral
interventions, unless clinically contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue these drugs; (Refer to Medication
Review policy and behavior management policy) . The purpose of tapering a medication is to find an
optimal dose or to determine whether continued use of the medication is benefiting the resident . During the
monthly medication regimen review, the pharmacist evaluates resident-related information for dose,
duration, continued need, and the emergence of adverse consequences for all medications .Within the first
year in which a resident is admitted on a psychotropic medication or after the prescribing practitioner has
initiated a psychotropic medication, the facility must attempt a GDR in two separate quarters (with at least
one month between the attempts), unless clinically contraindicated. After the first year, a GDR must be
attempted annually, unless clinically contraindicated .

Record review of Resident #54's Medication Administration Record for the 6 pm-6 am shift dated 01/01/25
thru 01/31/25 indicated:
Residents Affected - Some
Mirtazapine Oral Tablet 15 MG (Mirtazapine), Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to unspecified
protein-calorie malnutrition (an imbalance between the nutrients your body needs to function and the
nutrients it gets).
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 5-325 MG (Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen), Give 1 tablet by
mouth two times a day for pain related to orthopedic surgery.
Trazodone HCl Oral Tablet 50 MG (Trazodone HCl), Give 0.5 tablet by mouth at bedtime for insomnia (a
sleep disorder that makes it hard to fall or stay asleep).
Record review of Resident #54's comprehensive care plan, dated 07/02/24, indicated Resident #54 had
impaired cognitive function or impaired thought processes related to a dementia diagnosis. The
interventions were to administer medications as ordered.
During an observation and interview on 01/14/25 at 9:46 a.m., Resident #54 was in her bed and 3
unidentified pills were noted sitting in a cup on her bedside table. Resident #54 said LVN G had given her
those medications last night, but she refused to take them. LVN F came into the room and verified Resident
#54 had 3 unidentified pills sitting on her bedside table. LVN F reviewed Resident #54's medication and
identified 1 pill as Mirtazapine because of its oval shape and a V symbol printed on the pill. LVN E was
unable to identify the other 2 pills. LVN F said it was important to stay with the resident until they took their
medication to prevent another (confused) resident from wandering and taking the wrong medication.
During an attempted phone interview on 01/14/25 at 10:53 a.m., called LVN G with no answer, a message
was left.
During an interview on 1/15/25 at 2:48 p.m., the DON said he expected staff not to leave medication at the
bedside unattended. The DON said the nurse who gave the medication was responsible for ensuring the
resident took his or her medication before leaving the room. He said he would do an in-service. He said
during the investigation process he had identified LVN H and not LVN G as the nurse who left the
medication at the bedside. He said he had not done checkoffs on medication administration with the nurses
since he had started working for the facility 5 weeks ago. He said if medications were left at the bedside,
then the intended resident would not receive their medication which could cause physical or psychological
effects depending on the medication(s) ordered.
During an attempted phone interview on 01/15/25 at 3:04 p.m., called LVN H, and a message was left.
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 3:10 p.m., the Administrator said she did not expect medication to be left
at the bedside because part of medication administration was to ensure the resident took or refused his or
her medication. She said if medication was left at the bedside, then other residents were at risk of getting
medication that was not ordered for them or even staff. She said they verified staff was competent through
medication passes on hire, annual, and visual checks.

During an interview on 1/15/25 at 11:11 a.m., The Dietary Manager stated the Administrator oversaw her.
The Dietary Manager stated she had been employed at the facility for 5 years. The Dietary Manager stated
that the dietary staff did label and date the food. The Dietary Manager stated the dietary staff never put
open date on the food. The Dietary Manager stated she oversaw the dietary staff. The Dietary Manager
stated she was responsible for ensuring expired foods were exposed of and the kitchen was cleaned daily.
The Dietary Manager stated staff sometimes was in a hurry and did stupid stuff. The Dietary Manager
stated she was not aware of when in-services were last completed on discarding expired food items,
labeling, and dating. The Dietary Manager stated she conducted walk throughs in the kitchen every
morning. The Dietary Manager stated she saw the expired carrots in the refrigerator prior to survey but saw
a one for the month and not a 12 as listed on the carrots. The Dietary Manager stated left over food was
good for 7 days. The Dietary Manger stated that the mistake of leaving the expired carrots in the refrigerator
was on her and not the dietary staff. The Dietary Manager stated it was important to ensure the food items
were labeled, dated, and expired foods were discarded to make sure the dietary staff were not serving bad
foods.
During an interview on 1/15/25 at 1:51 p.m., the Administrator stated she had been employed since July of
2024. The Administrator stated she oversaw the Dietary Manager. The Administrator stated all food items
were to be discarded at expiration date. The Administrator stated she conducted walk throughs in the
kitchen at least 4 times a week. The Administrator stated she was not made aware of the finding found in
the kitchen prior to survey. The Administrator stated she expected the Dietary staff to follow the dietary
policy. The Administrator stated she expected the Dietary Manager to report all findings found in the
kitchen. The Administrator stated, It was important that staff were cleaning the kitchen a discarding expired
foods to prevent negative resident outcome.
During record review of the Dietary Services Policy & Procedure Manual dated 2012 revealed, (6) When
items are received from the vendor, they should be first examined for expiration date, and if an expiration
date is present, it is beneficial to mark it by circling it so it is readily visible and noticeable. It is important to
distinguish between an expiration date and a production date, or a best by or use by date. Production dates
indicate when the product was manufactured, not when it expires and should not be interpreted as a best
by or use by date. Best by or use by dates indicate when a product will have best flavor or quality and are
not an indicator of the product's safety. As the quality may deteriorate after the date passes, the dietary
manager should closely inspect any products that are past the best by date to determine if they are still
good quality. If in doubt, discard the product. If any stamped date is unclear, contact the food vendor for
clarification. If an item does not have a date designated by the manufacturer as an expiration date, then the
item should be dated as to when it is received, and shelf-stable items will be stored in a first in, first out
manner, to be used within one year. After one year, any product that is shelf stable will be inspected by the
dietary manager to ensure that it is good quality before it is used. Any product with a stamped expiration
date will be discarded once that date passes.

2. The facility failed to ensure CNA C did not apply the dirty linen that had fallen to the floor on 01/13/25 to
Resident #12.
3. The facility failed to ensure LVN E wore a gown when she gave Resident #46 his medication through his
gastrostomy (also known as a G-tube, is a thin, flexible tube inserted through the abdominal wall directly
into the stomach used to provide nutrition and medications directly to the stomach when a person is unable
to eat or drink adequately by mouth).
These failures could place residents and staff at risk for cross-contamination and the spread of infection.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #12's face sheet dated 01/15/24, indicated an [AGE] year-old female who
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #12 had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's disease
(progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), difficulty walking,
weakness, need for assistance with personal care, and anxiety (intense, excessive, and persistent worry

washed her hands. CNA C said when she provided incontinent care, she usually just used one set of gloves
for the whole process. CNA C said she was unaware of when to change her gloves but believed after
removing the dirty brief and before applying the clean brief. CNA C said she should have not applied the
linen that fell on the floor to Resident #12 because it was considered dirty. CNA C said failure to change
gloves and applying dirty linen placed Resident #12 at risk for infection and cross contamination. CNA C
said she was responsible for ensuring proper incontinent care and clean linens were provided to the
residents.
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 3:14 PM, LVN B said she expected CNA C to have changed her gloves
when she was going from dirty to clean. LVN B said clean linen that has fallen to the floor was considered
dirty and should not be placed on the resident. LVN B said by not changing their gloves and placing dirty
linens, while providing care to a resident, was cross contamination and placed the resident at risk for
infection. LVN B said the CNA providing care was responsible for ensuring proper incontinent care and
clean linens were being provided to the residents.
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 03:27 PM, the DON said he expected the staff to change their gloves
when their gloves become soiled or before touching clean linen. The DON said failure to change gloves
when going from dirty to clean or applying dirty linen was cross contamination. The DON said the staff
member providing the care was responsible for providing proper incontinent care and ensuring the linen
was clean before applying it to the resident.
During an interview on 01/15/25 at 4:02 PM, the Administrator said she expected incontinent care to be
provided with dignity and privacy as well as following the policy and procedure to maintain infection control
practices. The Administrator said CNA C should have changed her gloves when going from dirty to clean
and failure to do so could cause infections. The Administrator said she expected CNA C to have obtained
clean linens and not to have applied the linen that had fallen to the floor to Resident #12. The Administrator
said the linen that had fallen to the floor was considered contaminated. The Administrator said the CNAs
were responsible for ensuring infection control was maintained when providing care to a resident and the
charge nurse and the DON were responsible for supervising.
