Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.
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 ensure parenteral fluids administered were
consistent with professional standards of practice and in accordance with physician orders, the
comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences for one (Resident #68)
of six residents reviewed for periperal intravenous care.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Resident #68's peripheral intravenous (this is a catheter placed into the vein for
short term fluids and or antibiotics use) dressing was dated with the insertion date.
These failures could place residents at risk of cross-contamination and infections.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #68's admission record dated 01/08/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an initial admission of 01/11/22. His diagnoses included unspecified
dementia with agitation (this is a brain disease that alters brain function causes cognitive decline), protein
calorie malnutrition, pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), diabetes (uncontrolled blood sugars), and acquired
absence of left and right below the knee (amputation of both legs below the knee).
Review of Resident #68's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 11 out of 15, indicating
moderate cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident #68's physician order for January 2025 revealed,
1.Normal Saline Flush Solution (Sodium Chloride Flush) Use 10 ml intravenously every shift for dehydration
for 1 day. Administer flush after medication administration. Order dated 01/03/25.
2. Sodium Chloride intravenous Solution 0.9% (Sodium Chloride) use 75 ml/hr intravenously one time only
for hydration for 1 day. Order dated 01/03/25.
Review of Resident #68's care plan on 01/07/25 revealed Resident # 68 was a potential risk for pressure
ulcer development related to infection, impaired mobility, incontinence, nutritional deficit, diabetes, and
malnutrition. The goal was to minimize the risk for further pressure ulcers and or deterioration of current
wounds. Interventions were to keep skin clean and dry, to notify nurses immediately of any signs of skin
breakdown, redness, blisters bruises and discoloration noted during bath or daily care. The care plan did
not address the peripheral IV.

Observation and interview with Resident #68 on 01/07/25 at 10:06 AM, revealed Resident #68 lying in bed
with his right arm exposed which revealed a peripheral IV with dressing intact and undated. Resident # 68
stated he had gotten some fluid electrolytes last week. Resident #68 could not remember the exact date of
the IV insertion. He stated he only had the fluids for 1 day. He stated he did not know why he still had the IV
as no one had used it since last week.
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview with LVN D on 01/07/25 at 12:52 PM she stated she was Resident #68's nurse. She stated
she was aware Resident #68 had a peripheral IV and she was waiting for the physician to give her orders to
discontinue the IV or to give more fluids. LVN D did not state why it was not dated and what the risk was to
the resident .
In an interview with RN C on 01/13/25 at 08:50 AM, he stated LVN D asked him to remove Resident #68's
IV after obtaining orders from the physician to remove it on 01/07/25. He stated that all IV's should have a
date on it so that you can see how long it had been in. He stated it was infection control to make sure that
IV dressing was dated with an insertion date. RN C stated it was good nursing practice to get clarifications
on IV orders to avoid medication errors .
In an interview with ADON A on 01/13/25 at 10:56 AM, she stated she was the infection control
preventionist. She stated all IVs were expected to have a date on them when they were inserted. She
stated IVs were to be checked daily for infection and to note when the dressing needed to be changed,
which for peripheral intravenous, was 72 hours. She stated the nurse that inserted the IV should have
written the date on the IV so that another nurse can just look at the date and know when to change it. She
stated the risk was infection and infiltration.
In an interview with the DON on 01/13/25 at 12:55 PM, she stated the expectation was that all IV's were
dated with the insertion date, were clean, intact, dry and no signs and symptoms of infection. She stated
the nurses were responsible for making sure that the IV's were dated. She stated the nurse that inserted
the IV should have put the date on the dressing. She stated dating IV helped to reduce infection.
Review of facility policy titled Peripheral IV Catheter Insertion revision date April 2016, reflected:

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure, in accordance with State and
Federal laws, all drugs and biologicals were stored in locked compartments under proper temperature
controls and permitted only authorized personnel to have access for one of eight residents (Resident #67)
reviewed for storage of medication and 1 of 6 medication storage carts (Nurses' Treatment Cart) observed
for drug security.
1. Nurses' Treatment Cart was left unattended and unlocked outside the women's bathroom on 01/08/25.
2. The facility failed to ensure medications were not left at bedside for Resident #67.
This deficient practice could affect residents at risk of lost medications, drug diversion, or harm due to
accidental ingestion of unprescribed medications.
The findings included:
In an observation on 01/08/25 at 06:25 AM and at 07:51 AM, the Nurses' Treatment Cart was observed
unlocked and unattended with the lock mechanism out (indicating it was unlocked) outside the women's
bathroom. The cart did not contain narcotic medications. The Nurses' Treatment Cart included over the
counter and prescription topical medications, multiple over the counter medications for wound care, and
one bottle of betadine antiseptic cleaner. Staff and residents were observed in the immediate vicinity.
In an interview on 01/08/25 at 07:51 AM, RN C stated the Nurses' Treatment Cart was his responsibility. RN
C stated the Nurses' Treatment Cart was an extra one of 2 that he used. He stated he did not know who
had left it unattended and unlocked. RN C stated the Nurse's Treatment Cart should not be left unlocked
when unattended. He stated the risk was that a resident could get into it and have adverse effects to
medications in the cart.
In an interview on 01/08/25 at 07:51 AM, the DON stated all medication carts and treatment carts were to
be secured when not in use. The DON stated one of the floor nurses might have left the cart unlocked after
getting some wound care supplies out of the Nurses Treatment Cart. The DON stated she would initiate
staff In-Servicing. The DON stated residents could have been negatively impacted if one had obtained
medication from the unattended Nurses Treatment Cart and used it inappropriately.
Record review of Resident #67's face-sheet dated 01/10/2025, revealed a [AGE] year-old male, initially
admitted to facility on 10/26/2023, and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident's diagnosis included: Unspecified

[DATE] with an initial admission date of 09/12/2024. Primary diagnosis included metabolic encephalopathy
(alteration in consciousness caused by diffuse or global brain dysfunction from impaired cerebral
metabolism).

Permissions Based Precautions. LVN G wore latex gloves and used an alcohol wipe to clean resident #82's
IV port, then LVN allowed the port to lay on Resident #82's skin while she prepared the saline flush. LVN F
then attached Saline flush with 5cc to the port. After she administered the saline, she then placed the
syringe directly on the bedside table.
Interview with LVN G on 01/07/2024 at 3:53 PM reflected she was in-serviced on EBP before Christmas.
She stated that she was in-serviced to wear a gown when in direct contact with the resident. She stated
that she did not look at the sign at the door and she did not see the PPE outside the resident's room. She
stated that the risk of not wearing PPE while performing high-contact resident care was the spread of
infection. She stated that she should have thrown the sterile saline in the resident's trash cans since he was
on isolation. The risk of leaving it on the bedside table was cross contamination.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 01/13/2025 at 11:02 AM with ADON A reflected the LVN G should have gowned and gloved up
prior to entering the room to administer IV medication. The reason for the procedure was to prevent any
additional bacteria from coming in to the resident. She stated that once the porst was sterilized it should not
have come into contact with the resident's skin again because it was dirty. The risk was it could become
more septic and the risk of additional bacteria.
