The facility failed to ensure that a container of germicidal (substance that destroys germs and microorganism) wipes was not left inside Residents #28's room on 08/17/2025. This failure could prevent the residents from having an environment that was free from toxic chemicals. Findings include: Record review of Resident #28's Face Sheet, dated 08/18/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with neoplasm (abnormal mass of tissues that could be cancerous or not) of the kidney and bone and sleep apnea (a sleep disorder where breathing is interrupted repeatedly during sleep). Record review of Resident #28's Comprehensive MDS Assessment (assessment used to determine functional capabilities and health needs), dated 07/17/2025, reflected the resident was cognitively intact (resident capable of normal cognition and needs little support) with a BIMS (screening tool used to assess cognitive status) score of 15. The Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated that the resident had cancer and sleep apnea. Record review of Resident #28's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 07/17/2025, reflected the resident had stage 4 carcinoma and sleep apnea. Observation and interview on 08/17/2025 at 9:59 AM revealed Resident #28 was in his bed, awake. It was observed that there was a container of germicidal wipes on the resident's bedside table. It was also observed that the container of germicidal wipes was near the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure: machine used to deliver pressurized air through a mask to keep airways open) mask that was on the table. The resident said the container of germicidal wipes had been sitting on his table for some time. He said the staff would use it to clean some of the items inside his room. Observation and interview on 08/17/2025 at 10:12 PM, ADON B stated the container of germicidal wipes should not be inside Resident #28's room or any residents' room for that matter. She said it should not be close to any items used by the resident, like the CPAP mask, because the CPAP mask had contact with the resident's face when the resident was using it. She said it should be inside the cart the nurses' cart or the MAs' carts, locked. She said maybe, it was left by a CNA because they use it to clean the room. She said she would go to Resident #28's room and will get the container of germicidal wipes. She said the germicidal wipes had chemicals in it that could cause skin irritation that was why the staff used gloves when handling the wipes. She said it could also cause eye irritation and respiratory issues. She said it could affect the resident's condition because he was already immunocompromised. She said she would find out who left it inside the room and educate them. She said she would also initiate an in-service about not leaving anything that could be unsafe to the resident. She said she would also check the rooms of the other residents to see if there were any germicidal wipes left inside the room. In an interview on 08/17/2025 at 10:29 AM, CNA L stated he did not know who left the container of germicidal wipes inside Resident #28' room. He said he did not notice the container when he did his morning round. He said the container were usually inside the carts of the nurses or the MAs. He said it should be somewhere not accessible to the residents because they might touch or put it in their mouth and could cause harm to them because the wipes have chemicals on them. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 11:28 AM, the Administrator stated the wipes should not be inside the residents' rooms because they were used to kill bacteria. She said if the wipes had chemicals in it that could be harmful. She said confused residents might touch it or visitors unknowingly thought the wipes were ordinary wipes that could be used to wipe the face.

She said it should be secured inside the carts so that the residents would not be able to access the wipes that had chemicals on them. She said she was not sure what chemical was on the wipes but considering the wipes were used to disinfect, then the wipes could be harmful to the residents. She said confused resident might get hold of the wipes and wipe their face and body that could result to irritations. She said the expectation was for the staff to be mindful and never leave the germicidal wipes inside the residents' room. She said she would do an in-service about not leaving anything harmful to the residents and would make sure that they understood the outcome if a resident got hold of the wipes.

The facility failed to ensure RN C would not use too much water to flush Resident #70's medication via g-tube (gastrostomy tube: a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach). This failure could place residents with g-tubes at risk for aspiration, discomfort, and overhydration. Findings included: Record review of Resident #70's Face Sheet, dated 08/18/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). Record review of Resident #70's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 07/28/2025, reflected the resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13. The Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated the resident had a feeding tube. Record review of Resident #70's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 07/28/2025, reflected the resident was at risk for aspiration due to presence of feeding tube and one of the approaches was to observe for signs of aspiration (fluid or solid substance entered the airway). Record review of Resident #70's Physician Order, dated 07/31/2025, reflected Enteral Feeding (delivery of food through feeding tube): Flush tube with 60 cc warm water before and after medication administration; 10 - 15 cc flush between each med. Record review of Resident #70's Physician Order, dated 07/29/2025, reflected RISK: choking, swallowing, aspiration, weight loss/gain, dehydration. Record review of Resident #70's Physician Order, dated 07/25/2025, reflected Venlafaxine (medication used for depression) 150 mg ER via gastric tube two times a day. Observation and interview on 08/13/2025 at 7:28 AM revealed RN C was about to administer Resident #70's medication via g-tube. She said she would be administering four medications for the resident. RN C sanitized her hands and put on a pair of gloves. She started placing the medications in a cup separately, crushed three of the medications, and returned the crushed medications to their respective small plastic cups. One of the medications, Venlafaxine 150 mg, was a capsule and RN C opened the capsule and placed its content in a cup. It was observed that the content of the capsule was in granules form. After placing the medications in the cups, she prepared two big cups of water. She said she would use the water to flush the g-tube and to dissolve the medications. She placed what she prepared on a tray, went inside the room, and placed the tray on top of the resident's overbed table. She also brought with her a plastic spoon and placed it on the tray. She raised the resident's bed and disconnected the g-tube from the formula. She then pulled the plunger (movable part of the syringe that pulls ot pushes liquid into the syringe) of a 60 ml piston syringe and connected it to the g-tube. She pushed the plunger to check the placement of the g-tube and then pulled the plunger to check for the residual. She disconnected the syringe and pulled the plunger all the way and connected the syringe without the plunger. She then put approximately 10 ml of water on each medication and stirred them using the plastic spoon. She flushed the g-tube with 60 ml of water, poured the first medication, and flushed the g-tube with 15 ml of water. She did the same procedure up to the third medication. She then poured the last medication. It was observed the granules were still intact even after she put some water on it and even after stirring it. She poured the granules with water in the syringe. The granules got stuck where the syringe was connected to the g-tube. She said she was having a hard time with the last medication because the granules did not dissolve easily and would not go through. She poured 30 ml of water in the syringe and rocked the syringe back and forth.

She rocked the syringe back and forth again. She then poured some more water, approximately 15 ml, seven times until all the granules passed through the syringe. She then said since she already used a lot of water on the last medication, she would only flush the g-tube with 30 ml. After flushing the last 30 ml, she connected the g-tube to the formula, threw away the cups that she used, and washed her hands. In an interview on 08/18/2025 at 8:57 AM, RN C stated she had a hard time with Resident #70's last medication because the granules would not pass through the syringe. She said the granules did not easily dissolve and got stuck where the syringe was connected to the g-tube. She said because the granules got stuck, she had a hard time flushing because of the stuck granules. She said she used a lot of water just to flush the last medication. She said she knew she was only supposed to flush 60 ml before and 60 ml after medications and 15 ml between medications but ended up pouring too much water because she had to make sure the granules would go through. She said too much water could cause fluid overload and bloating of the stomach. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 7:02 AM, ADON B stated it was important to flush the g-tube to prevent clogging the tubing and to make sure that the medications administered went through. She said there were certain amounts of water ordered for flushing before and after medication administration and in between medications. She said more than or less than the ordered amount of water could have an effect on the resident. She said less fluid could cause dehydration and more water could cause fluid overload, vomiting, and aspiration. She said flushing a medication with more than 100 ml of water was not right. She said she would talk with RN C to ask what happened and what could be done to prevent the issue from happening again. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 7:16 AM, the DON stated there was a specific amount of water incorporated during medication administration via g-tube to avoid dehydration, overhydration, and aspiration. Too much water given for one flushing could lead to aspiration. She said the expectation was that the staff would use water for flushing as required. She said she would do an in-service about g-tube focusing on the amount of water needed during medication administration. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 7:32 AM, the Administrator stated the expectation was for the staff to follow the right procedure in administering medications via g-tube. She said she was not a clinician and would let the DON and the ADONs take the lead in educating the staff about the issue.

She disconnected the nasal cannula and said she would get a new one and would place them in a bag. She said she did notice that the nasal cannula was not bagged when she did her morning round. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 6:41 AM, ADON A stated it was her fault there was no Oxygen in Use outside Resident #2's room because she was the one responsible for checking who were the residents using oxygen and then placing the sign outside the rooms of resident using oxygen. She said the purpose of the sign was to remind the staff and the visitors not to light a cigarette or even a candle because oxygen was being used in the facility. She said nasal cannula should be stored properly inside a plastic bag if the residents were not using them to prevent respiratory infections or respiratory discomforts. She said the staff were responsible for ensuring all the breathing paraphernalia were clean every time the residents used them. She said the expectation was for the staff to be mindful and bag the nasal cannula and to check if there was an Oxygen in Use sign outside the door of residents that were using oxygen.

In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 7:16 AM, the DON stated the nasal cannula and the CPAP mask should be inside a plastic bag when not in use, and not just hanging around or on top of the table, to maintain its cleanliness as well as its patency. She said bagging the nasal cannula and the CPAP mask were important to prevent development of infections. She said if a resident was using oxygen, there should be an Oxygen in Use sign outside the door. She said the sign for oxygen use was to remind the staff and visitors to be careful not to cause any ignition that could cause fire. She said she was responsible for making sure the staff were bagging the nasal cannula and the CPAP mask and that they were placing a sign outside the door. She said she would re-educate the staff about the issues discussed and her expectations was that the staff would understand the in-services and would put them in practice. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 7:32 AM, the Administrator stated everything that the residents were using for their respiratory issues should be kept clean to prevent cross contamination and respiratory infection.

She said she tried to dissolve it but it would not dissolve completely. She said she would sometimes crush the medication so it would pass through the tube easier. She read the order for the medication and saw the medication was an extended release. She said extended-release medications should not be crushed or dissolved because the medication was designed to be released in an extended period of time. She said she did not notice that the order was extended release.

The facility failed to ensure CNA J wore a gown while fixing Resident #23's beddings, who had a catheter (flexible tube inserted into the bladder to remove the urine), on 08/17/2025. 2. The facility failed to ensure RN D placed a cap ( green disinfecting caps) Resident 28's PICC line (long, flexible tube inserted into the vein used for administering intravenous medications) on 08/17/2025. 3. The facility failed to ensure LVN E performed hand hygiene and sanitized the overbed table before performing Resident #48's wound care and sanitized the scissors after getting it from her pocket on 08/18/2025. 4. The facility failed to ensure RN C wore a gown while dressing Resident #70, who had a g-tube (gastrostomy feeding tube: a tube that is surgically inserted through the skin of the belly and into the stomach), on 08/18/2025. 5. The facility failed to ensure LVN E performed hand hygiene before providing care to Resident #71 on 08/18/2025. 6. The facility failed to ensure CNA I performed hand hygiene while providing incontinent care to Resident #71 on 08/18/2025. These failures could place residents at risk of cross-contamination and development of infections. Findings included: 1. Review of Resident #23's Face Sheet, dated 08/17/2025, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on the facility on 08/19/2024. The resident was diagnosed with neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (the muscles and nerves that control the bladder do not work properly due to illness). Review of Resident #23's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 06/20/2025, reflected the resident had a severe impairment (requires significant assistance and support in daily life) in cognition with a BIMS score of 00. The Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated the resident had an indwelling catheter (device that drains urine from the urinary bladder). Review of Resident #23's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 06/11/2025, reflected the resident required an indwelling catheter and one of the interventions was provide catheter care as scheduled. The Comprehensive Care Plan indicated the resident was on enhanced barrier precaution related to Foley catheter (device used to help drain urine from bladder).

Record review of Resident #23's Physician Order, dated 06/25/2024, reflected Enhanced Barrier Precaution every shift. Observation on 08/17/2025 at 1:13 PM revealed CNA J was inside Resident #23's room and was fixing the resident's beddings. The resident was observed to have a catheter and there was a signage outside the room that the resident required enhanced barrier precaution during changing linens. In an interview on 08/17/2025 at 1:17 PM, CNA J stated Resident #23's family member asked her to fix the resident's bed. She said when she entered the room, the linens were already stripped and all she did was to put on the new beddings. She said she should have worn a gown and a pair of gloves when she was fixing the bedding because the resident was on EBP and the signage outside the room clearly stated to use EBP when changing the linens. She said the resident was not in the bed but she could introduce germs from her scrubs or she could get germs from the bed and transfer it to another resident that she would later have contact. 2. Record review of Resident #28's Face Sheet, dated 08/18/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with local infection of the skin and subcutaneous (located under the skin) tissue.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some subcutaneous tissue. Record review of Resident #28's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 08/07/2025, reflected the resident required IV medication for wound infections and one of the approaches was to administer medications: ABT. Record review of Resident #28's Physician Order, dated 08/07/2025, reflected IV CEFEPIME 1 GM/50 ML. 1 GM IV EVERY SIX HOURS ACTIVATE AND INFUSE IV CEFEPIME 1 GM OVER 30MINS (TOTAL VOLUME 50 ML WITH RATE OF 100 ML/HR). Observation and interview on 08/17/2025 at 9:59 AM, revealed Resident #28 in his bed, awake. It was observed that the resident had a PICC line to left upper arm. The resident said he had a PICC line because he was receiving an antibiotic for his skin infection. Observation at 08/18/2025 at 8:20 AM, revealed RN C was about to administer Resident #28's antibiotics via PICC line to his left upper arm. The end of the PICC line was not capped and was touching the resident's hospital gown. In an interview on 08/18/2025 at 8:44 AM, RN C stated she usually put a green cap on Resident #28's PICC line to prevent cross contamination. She said she did not see any green cap on the resident's side table that was why she was not able to put one on. She said she did sanitize the port of the PICC line before flushing it but since it was laying on the resident's hospital gown, one would never know if something already crept inside before it was sanitized. She said the best practice was to put a cap on the PICC line after medication administration. In an interview on 08/19/2025 at 6:33 AM, RN D said she would administer Resident #28's 2 AM antibiotics. She said she should cover the PICC once the medication was done to prevent cross contamination and infection because the resident already had an infection that was why he was receiving an antibiotic and not capping the end of the PICC line could only introduce another form of infection to the resident. 3. Record review of Resident #48's Face Sheet, dated 08/18/2025, reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with injury of unspecified body region and parkinsonism (movement disorder).

She prepared normal saline pink bullets, 4 by 4 dressing, gauze, and xeroform (dressing used to cover wounds). She went inside the resident's room and placed the things that she prepared for wound care on top of the resident's overbed table. She did not sanitize the table. She put on a gown and a pair of gloves and proceeded with wound care. She did not do hand hygiene before putting on a pair of gloves. After cleaning the wound, she took a pair of scissors from her pocket and cut the xeroform to the desired size. She did not sanitize the pair of scissors, that was from her pocket, before cutting the xeroform. After placing the xeroform on the wound, she covered it with the 4 by 4 dressing. She cleaned the overbed table and washed her hands. In an interview on 08/18/2025 at 10:10 AM, LVN E stated she should have sanitized the table before she placed the things needed for wound care on it to make sure that the dressing, gauze, and xeroform were clean when applied to the wound. She said she should have sanitized the scissors before cutting the xeroform because it came from her pocket. She said she sanitized it before putting it in her pocket but since her pocket might be dirty then the pair of scissors was considered dirty again. She said her actions could contribute to cross contamination and development of infection. 4.
