Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurse staffing data including
the facility name, the current date, the total number and the actual hours worked was posted and readily
accessible to residents and visitors for 2 (05/14/24 and 05/15/24) of 3 days reviewed for nurse staffing
information.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility failed to post the required staffing information on 05/14/24 and 05/15/24.
The facility failed to post the required staffing information in a prominent place readily accessible to
residents and visitors on 05/14/24.
These failures could place residents, their families, and facility visitors at risk of not having access to
information regarding staffing data and facility census.
Findings included:
An observation on 05/14/24 from 9:42 AM to 9:45 AM revealed no posted staffing information readily
accessible.
During an observation and interview on 05/14/24 at 9:47 AM, the DON stated the posting was on the
bulletin board at the nurse's station. The data sheet was in a plastic sleeve, posted on a bulletin board
between several other hanging documents intended for nursing staff. The bulletin board was behind the
nurse's station. The document did not contain the facility name.
An observation on 05/15/24 at 11:06 AM revealed the posted staffing document did not contain the facility
name. The document was dated 06/15/24.
An observation on 05/16/24 at 8:51 AM revealed the posted staffing document dated 06/15/24 was still
posted.
During an interview on 05/15/24 at 9:30 AM, the Corporate Nurses stated the facility did not have a policy
regarding posted staffing.
During an interview on 05/16/24 at 4:17 PM, the ADM stated he expected the posted staffing to be
completed daily and accurately. He stated the page that was dated wrong was a clerical/human thing that
could be easily fixed. He stated he believed the form had been updated on 5/15/24 when they were made
aware of the error. He stated that other than the one day with the wrong date, the facility consistently posted
the information daily.
During an interview on 05/17/24 at 9:30 AM, the DON stated it was her expectation that the staffing be
posted daily. She stated they recently changed to the staffing coordinator posting the document, previously,
the ADON had been responsible. She stated not having the numbers posted could lead to family members
who think there should have been more staff and that could turn into a customer service issue.
Review of the facility Nursing Department Staffing documents for the last 30 days revealed the facility name
was not listed on the documents.

administered the dose of insulin. LVN B stated that she had burped the pen to remove air bubbles. She
stated where she was from, they call it burping but it is the same thing as priming the needle. She stated
there was so much going on and she thought she had attached the needle prior to burping it. She stated
she was aware that the procedure must be done ever time prior to giving the insulin or the resident may not
get the proper dose.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 05/16/24 at 4:17 PM, the ADM stated he expected medications to be administered
as ordered and per the manufacturer's guidelines. He stated adverse outcomes could range from severe to
benign (meaning almost nothing) depending on the situation.
During an interview on 05/17/24 at 9:15 AM, the DON verbalized the process for ordering over the counter
medications. She stated the med aides were supposed to notify the nurse if a medication was not available.
She stated there was an order form the med aide filled in and dated. The staff who placed the order signed
the form, then the DON signed the form to complete the process. She stated the med aides had all been
in-serviced on the process. The DON stated all the nurses were aware of the practice of priming the needle
on the insulin pens. She stated there was not a policy or procedure specific to using insulin pens, but they
did skills checks on insulin administration. She stated she, along with corporate clinical staff were
responsible for education and training. She stated she expected the insulin needles to be primed every time
insulin was administered. She stated adverse outcomes to medications varied widely depending on the
medication. She stated the resident may not get the therapeutic effect of the desired medication if the
wrong medication or dose was administered.
Review of the Insulin Administration policy, revised September 2014, reflected in part, Preparation 5. The
nursing staff will have access to specific instructions (from the manufacturer if appropriate) on all forms of
insulin delivery system(s) prior to their use. Insulin Delivery The forms of insulin delivery include: 3. Pens containing insulin cartridges deliver insulin subcutaneously through a needle. The policy did not reflect any
other information regarding insulin pens.
Review of the Administering Medication policy, revised April 2019, reflected in part, 10. The individual
administering the medication checks the label THREE (3) times to verify the right resident, right medication,
right dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication. 14. Insulin
pens containing multiple doses of insulin are for single-resident use only. Changing the needle does not
make it safe to use insulin pens for more than one resident. 15. Insulin pens are clearly labeled with the
resident's name or other identifying information. Prior to administering insulin with an insulin pen, the nurse
verifies that the correct pen is used for that resident.
Review of the manufacturer's website
https://www.novomedlink.com/diabetes/patient-support/product-education/library/novolog-flexpen-instructions-for-use.html,
accessed on 05/16/24, revealed a video NovoLog FlexPen Instructions for Use. The video reflected the air
shot to be performed before each dose. After applying the needle, Turn the dose selector to 2 units. Hold
the pen upright and tap the pen gently to move air bubbles. Press the 'push' button all the way in. Make
sure a drop of insulin appears, if not change the needle and repeat the test .
Review of the website https://uspl.lilly.com/humalog/humalog.html#ug1, accessed 05/16/24, reflected the
manufacturer's instructions for using the Humalog Kwik Pen. The site reflected, Priming your Pen. Prime
before each injection. Priming your Pen means removing the air from the needle and cartridge that may
collect during normal use and ensures that the Pen is working correctly. If you do not prime before each
injection, you may get too much or too little insulin. Step 6: To prime you Pen,

An interview conducted on 05/15/24 at 10:50 AM with ADON revealed that she was not aware of the
expired medications in the medication room [ROOM NUMBER]. She stated that a potential negative
outcome of providing expired medications to a resident was that it can cause an adverse reaction to the
resident. ADON stated that the expectation was that residents do not receive expired medications, and the
medications should be thrown away as soon as possible.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was completed with Administrator on 05/16/2024 at 04:35PM revealed that the expectation for
expired medications is that they should be disposed of properly and follow the proper process.
Administrator stated a potential negative outcome of providing expired medications to residents is that
multiple outcomes could occur anywhere from something bad to something nothing at all. He stated
depending on the medication could cause death. The expectation for dating medications is that it should be
done in compliance within regulation and manufacture. He believes that the staff should be labeling it when
they open the medication and place into the cart and stored properly. He stated that a new employee has
been hired to ensure that medications are labeled properly. He stated that once this employee starts
working, the goal is to have a plan for how often the medication expiration dates are checked.
An interview conducted on 05/17/2024 at 09:48AM with MA G revealed that medication administration
rights included right route, right dose, right patient, right documentation, right time. MA G stated that steps
that she takes to ensure that medications are not expired is to go through her med cart every day and
compare it with the expiration date. She stated a potential negative outcome of providing expired
medications to residents is that they could get sick. The process for expired medications is to put it in the
expired medication box inside of the med room or give to the DON.
An interview conducted on 05/17/2024 at 09:52AM with RN A revealed that medication administration rights
included right dose, right patient, right route, right documentation and right time. RN M stated that before
providing medications she ensures the medication is not expired by looking at the expiration dates on the
bottles. A potential negative outcome of providing expired medications to a resident is negative side effects.
The process to remove expired medications from the cart is to put them in the discontinued box waiting for
the pharmacist to come and destroy them.
An interview on 05/17/2024 at 10:30 AM with DON revealed that the expectation for expired medications is
that they should be removed from the medication cart, placed in the medication room for destruction, and
then logged. A potential negative outcome of residents receiving expired medications is that it depends on
the medication, but it could be dangerous. The expectation for dated medications is to have the bottles
dated immediately after opening. She stated there is not a potential negative outcome for providing expired
medications to residents, but it should not be done.
Record Review of the policy titled Storage of Medications undated, stated 1. Drugs and biologicals used in
a facility are stored in locked compartments under proper temperature, light and humidity control. Only
persons authorized to prepare and administer medications have accessed to locked medications.

Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to provide food that was palatable (vegetables with no flavor or seasoning) at a safe and
appetizing temperature (sample tray was luke warm.] .
This failure could place residents at risk of not being satisfied with their food, decreased food intake,
unintended weight loss, hunger, poor nutrition, impeded recovery from illness and injury and diminished
quality of life.
Findings included:
An observation on 5/15/2024 at 12:05pm in the kitchen revealed a tray of pre-seasoned garlic bread
cooked in the oven. Sitting beside a toast oven, was another metal tray which contained stacks of toasted,
white bread, which was over-cooked and was deep brown/black in color.
An interview on 5/15/2024 at 12:10pm DC #2, said they did not have enough of the frozen, pre-seasoned
garlic bread and had substituted with toasted Texas toast (a thicker piece of white bread).
An observation on 5/15/2024 at 1:10pm two (Surveyor #2 and Surveyor #3) of four members of the survey
team sampled a lunch tray. The test tray consisted of pasta and meat sauce, zucchini, garlic bread,
cheesecake for dessert, water, and iced tea. The meal appeared visually pleasant. The meal did not have
visible steam rising from the food, nor was heat felt with a hand passed over the meal. The pasta and meat
sauce were flavorful and seasoned well. The zucchini was pale in color, slightly mushy and had no flavor or
seasoning. The garlic bread was a piece of overly toasted, white bread with no butter, garlic, or additional
seasoning. The bread was dry, difficult to chew and unpleasant. The food items which should have been
hot, were room temperature when tasted.
An observation on 5/16/2024 at 12:48pm two (Surveyor #2 and Surveyor #3) of four members of the survey
team sampled a lunch tray. The test tray consisted of roasted turkey with brown gravy, stuffing, green
beans, and corn bread. The sample tray did not have beverages, a dessert, or condiments. The meal
appeared visually pleasant. The meal did not have visible steam rising from the food, nor was heat felt with
a hand passed over the meal. The roasted turkey was flavorful and tender to chew. The brown gravy and
stuffing were well seasoned and not overly salty. The green beans were soft to chew and had no flavor or
seasoning. The food items which should have been hot, were room temperature when tasted. The
cornbread had a good flavor, although it was cold to touch and taste and it was not served with butter.
On 5/16/2024 at 1:00pm during interview with the DC she stated it was her responsibility to cook and
season the food served to residents. She said there are ample spices and seasonings in the kitchen. She
said she was unaware the zucchini and green beans lacked flavor as she thought she had seasoned them
well enough. She said she does not season with salt, as the residents get a salt packet on their tray.
On 5/16/2024 at 1:15pm during interview with the DM she stated that she was responsible to ensure the
food served to residents was palatable and hot. She said she was unaware the zucchini and green

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide food prepared in a form
designed to meet individual needs for two of three meals sampled.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure the puree texture was in a form (pudding like consistency that was smooth) to
meet resident needs for two of three lunch meals on (5/14/2024 and 5/15/2024) sampled by two (Surveyor
# 2 and Surveyor #3) of four survey team members .
These failures could place residents at risk of decreased food intake, choking and aspiration.
.
The finding included:
On 5/14/2024 @ 1:10pm an observation of pureed sample meal by two (Surveyor #2 and Surveyor #3) of
four survey team members . The pureed meal consisted of Cajun sausage and beans, white rice, breaded
okra, a baked roll, and bread pudding. Both team members agreed the sausage and beans had a good
flavor but contained small pieces of sausage that required chewing prior to swallowing. The rice had a
suitable texture and lacked flavor or seasoning. The okra, bread, and dessert had appropriate puree
texture.
On 5/14/2024 @ 1:30pm an interview with the Speech Therapist she stated the pureed sausage and beans
were an appropriate texture and she did not have concern with the consistency and texture of the puree.
On 5/14/2024 @ 1:40pm an observation and interview with the Regional Nurse she stated the pureed
sausage and beans were an appropriate apple sauce texture and she agreed with the Speech Therapists'
opinion as well. Survey team member asked her to taste the puree and she obliged. She tasted the puree,
agreed the puree texture was not appropriate, and was observed chewing the food prior to swallowing.
On 5/14/2024 at 2:31pm the Surveyor # 2 emailed a photo of the pureed sausage and beans to the Region
5 Program Manager (PM), who is a Registered and Licensed Dietician. She said the texture was too
chunky for an appropriate puree.
On 5/15/2024 at 12:50pm an observation of pureed sample meal by two of four survey team members. The
pureed meal consisted of pureed pasta, meat sauce, zucchini, garlic bread and cheesecake. Both team
members agreed the pasta was not a pureed texture or consistence. The pasta held the form of the serving
spoon on the plate. It did not spread easily using the back of a spoon. It tasted gummy and was hard to
maneuver around the mouth, using a tongue. The meat sauce, zucchini, garlic bread and cheesecake were
an appropriate pureed texture.
On 5/15/2024 @ 3:30pm during interview with ADM stated it was the responsibility of the dietary
department and nursing staff to ensure residents receive food in a form designed to meet individual needs.
