This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0694 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.

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: Definition 1.

F 0880 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 observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 6 Residents (Resident #82) observed for infection control and 4 of 4 quarters reviewed for water management. Residents Affected - Many 1. The facility staff failed to use proper technique when flushing Resident #82's IV while the resident was on enhanced barrier precautions. 2. The facility failed to implement a water management program per facility policy. These failures could place residents at risk of cross-contamination and infections. Findings included: 1. Review of Resident # 82's admission record revealed [AGE] year-old male was admitted to the facility on [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). Review of Resident #82's Care Plan, undated, reflected resident was on Enhanced Barrier Precautionsresident was at risk for infection related to indwelling medical devices. Interventions wear gloves and gown during high-contact care activities for with indwelling medical devices, wounds, and colonized or infection with a CDC targeted MDRO (Multi drug-resistant Organism). Review of Resident #82's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Comprehensive Set dated 12/28/2024 reflected a BIMS score of 15 which indicated an intact cognitive response and suggested that the resident was capable of normal cognition. Review of Resident # 82's Treatment Administration Record dated 01/10/2025 reflected Cefazolin Sodium Intravenous Solution Reconstituted 2 GM .
