Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in
locked compartments under proper temperature controls and permit only authorized personnel to have
access to the keys for treatment cart #1 at nurses station and medication cart #2 from hall 200 of four
medication carts reviewed for label and storage of drugs and biologicals.
The facility failed to ensure treatment cart #1 and medication cart #2 was locked when unattended.
This failure could place residents at risk of having access to unauthorized medications and unauthorized
lab and medical supplies and/or lead to possible harm or drug diversions.
Findings included:
During an observation on 09/12/2022 at 10:53 AM of the nurses station revealed an unlocked treatment
cart with lancets and IV cannulas. All drawers of the treatment cart were unlocked, and all supplies, and
additional items were easily accessible. The DON came immediately and locked the cart.
During an observation on 09/14/2022 at 11:36 AM Hall 200 revealed an unlocked medication cart #2 with
over-the-counter medications and eye drops in the first drawer, medication cards in the second drawer,
overflow medications cards and liquid over the counter medications in the third drawer. LVN B was in the
residents room, administering medications and left the cart unattended and unlocked.
During an interview on 09/14/22 at 09:07 AM, the DON stated that the treatment carts are used for lab
supplies since the nurses draw all their own labs. It must have been the night shift nurse who left the
treatment cart unlocked. All nurses are responsible for locking all treatment carts and medication carts. The
DON stated that she will re-educate all staff at their next meeting regarding the importance of locking all
treatment carts and medication carts.
During an interview on 09/14/2022 at 12:11 PM, LVN B stated that medication cart should be locked at all
times so that residents cannot injure themselves or inflict harm on themselves by taking medications that
are not theirs.
Review of the facility's policy, titled Storage of Medications, revised 08/2020, reflected (in part):

facility's food distributor that a best by date was not the same as an expiration date, and that food was still
ok to be served/used past the best by date on the packaging. She stated she would have to double check
with the dietician and corporate to find out what the company policy was regarding labels and dates
because she was unsure. She stated that normally, everything was labeled with a date and description, and
she was unable to say why there were unlabeled items in the freezer and refrigerator. Dietary Manager
stated that the ham found in the refrigerator with best by date of 08/19/22 had only been delivered a few
days earlier and that she was not aware that the dates were so far back.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (Resident #66) of 2
residents reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure CNA A changed her gloves after they became contaminated during incontinent
care while assisting Resident #66.
This failure could place resident's risk for cross contamination and the spread of infection.
Finding include:
Record review of Resident #66's admission record dated 09/13/22 indicated she was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia and muscle weakness. She was [AGE] years of age.
Record review of Resident #66's MDS dated [DATE] indicated in part: Bladder and Bowel: Urinary
Continence =. 2. Frequently incontinent. Bowel Continence = 3. Always incontinent.
Record review of Resident #66's care plan dated 08/25/22 indicated in part: Problem: Resident has an ADL
self-care performance deficit r/t disease processes. Confusion, Dementia, Disease Process, Limited
Mobility, Pain, dependent on staff. Goal: Resident will maintain current level of function in through the review
date . Interventions: Resident is totally dependent on (X2) staff for incontinent care.
During an observation on 09/13/22 at 11:28 AM CNA A performed incontinent care for Resident #66. CNA
A entered the resident's room washed her hands and donned some gloves. The CNA undid the front of the
resident's brief and wiped her front peri-area with some wipes. The resident was noted to be urinated. CNA
A then turned the resident on her side and wiped the resident's bottom with some wipes. During the
incontinent care the CNA's gloves came in contact with the resident's vagina and rectal area. While wearing
the same gloves CNA A proceeded to apply a clean brief and adjust the resident's dress.
During an interview on 09/14/22 at 11:54 AM the DON was made aware of the observation of incontinent
care performed by CNA A. The DON said when staff performed incontinent care they were expected to
change their gloves prior to proceeding to applying the clean brief. The DON said if the staff did not change
their gloves that could possibly lead to cross contamination. The DON said she believed the failure occurred
because the CNA got nervous and forgot to change her gloves. The DON said the staff received several
trainings regarding hand washing and performing incontinent care.
During an interview on 09/14/22 at 11:58 AM the Administrator was made aware of the observation of
incontinent care performed by CNA A. The Administrator said the staff was expected to change their gloves
once they became contaminated. The Administrator said if the staff did not change their glove that could
lead to cross contamination. The Administrator said the failure occurred because the CNA probably got
nervous and forgot to change her gloves.
