Resident #2 said the staff member was a CNA and that she worked at the facility. Surveyor asked if the staff's named sounded like CNA B's name and he said it could be, but he was not sure. Resident #2 said the blood drawn had occurred last Friday or Monday on the day shift. Resident #2 said the staff member had not told him that she was practicing blood drawing on him and that she just came in and told him she had to draw some blood. Resident #2 said he did find it odd that a CNA was drawing blood on him, but thought that maybe someone like the doctor had given her an order to do it. Resident #2 said he was not hurting or had suffered any injuries just that he had the bruising on his arm and that it would get better in a few weeks.

CNA F stated she saw CNA B draw blood from Resident #2 one time and he did not look like he was in any pain or distress. CNA F stated she walked into Resident #2's room because his light was on and she (CNA B) was tapping on Resident #2's arm like she was looking for a vein and then poked Resident #2's arm with a needle. CNA F said she knew CNA B was in classes to be a phlebotomist at one time. CNA F said she asked CNA B what she was doing and CNA B just laughed. CNA F said she asked Resident #2 if he needed anything, and Resident #2 said no. CNA F said she did not report what she had seen becasue she believed CNA B was allowed to do blood draws. During an interview on 11/14/24 at 10:57 AM, LVN C said on a Sunday CNA B had told her that the DON had given her the names of residents that needed blood draws. LVN C said she was outside monitoring the resident's while they smoked. LVN C said CNA B told her to hold on as she first needed to call the ADON and ask her what labs had already been done. LVN C said she was not aware if CNA B was allowed to do lab work and that she had not asked her if she was allowed as well. LVN C said she recalled CNA B holding a Baggy which contained the tubes that needed to be filled with blood and orders for the blood draw. LVN C said the baggies were left at the nurse station and the bags contained the face sheet and lab orders and the tubes that need to be filled. LVN C said the last she heard CNA B was in phlebotomy class. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:26 AM, the DON said she had never ordered CNA B to do blood draws., She said she was aware of CNA B wanting to be a phlebotomist, but as far as she knew, the CNA was not in the class.

During a telephone interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:46 AM, CNA B said that she was currently suspended from work and as far as she knew she was still employed there. CNA B said that she was supposed to take the phlebotomy class but had not because the Administrator gave her the run around about payment for the class. sSo she ended up dropping out of the class and not taking it. CNA B said that she had observed the nurses doing blood draws because she wanted to learn. CNA B said that she had drawn blood on two residents (Resident #5 and Resident #2) and that she was not a certified phlebotomist and she apologized for doing that and that she should have not done that. CNA B said the needles to conduct the blood draws and the lab sheets were located at the nurses station and that was where she got the orders and needles from. CNA B said that LVN C and LVN D were present when she had drawn Resident #5's blood and that LVN C had let her because she was unable to draw the resident's blood or at least not enough. CNA B said she had entered Resident #2's room and told him that she was there to draw some blood. CNA B said that the DON had not told her to do the blood draws and that she had taken it upon herself to just do the blood draw and she should have not done that. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 12:37 PM, LVN C said she had drawn some blood on Resident #5 about 2 weeks ago on a Sunday and was only able to obtain a small amount of blood in the tube. LVN C said later CNA B called Resident #5 to go to the nurses station for halls 2 and 3 where LVN D was working at. LVN C said she went around to see what was going on and saw that CNA B had already started the blood draw on Resident #5. LVN C said she recalled seeing LVN D by the nurses station but did not know if LVN D was aware of what happened.
