F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some the resident cognition was intact. Further review revealed the resident was on specialized treatment for respiratory care (non-invasive mechanical ventilator: breathing support device that uses a mask to deliver air to a patient's lungs to help breathe better). Record review of Resident #11's care plan dated 08/14/24 did not reflect a care plan for respiratory treatments. Record review of Resident #11's Physician Order Summary Report for the month of February 2025 reflected the following order: -Dated 02/10/25 Ipratropium-Albuterol (medication used to treat respiratory disease) 0.5-2.5 (3) mg/3ml, 3 ml inhale orally every 4 hr as needed for SOB or wheezing via nebulizer (a small machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist that can easily be inhaled). Record review of Resident #11's MAR and TAR for the month of February 2025 revealed that the facility was administering the medication Ipratropium-Albuterol 0.5-2.5 (3) mg/3ml, 3ml as ordered. Observation on 02/11/25 at 10:40 AM revealed Resident #11 had a rolling walker on the left side of his bed. Further observation revealed a mask connected to tubing lying on the rolling walker. The tubing and mask were not dated or inside of a plastic bag. Interview on 02/11/25 at 10:46 AM LVN Z said she was the nurse for Resident #11, Resident #17, and Resident #21. LVN Z said she had given Resident #17 a breathing treatment between 8:30AM or 9:00AM and that Resident #17 received breathing treatments three times a day. LVN Z said she worked from 7am-7pm. Interview and observation on 02/11/25 at 2:05 PM with LVN Z,, regarding respiratory equipment (tubing, mask, etc.) said the respiratory equipment should be dated to signify when the last time the equipment had been changed for infection control. LVN Z said she believed respiratory equipment should be changed every seven days on the night shift; at least that was the way it was done at other facilities but was not for certain how it was done at the present facility. LVN Z said she worked at the NF PRN. LVN Z said because she worked at the present facility on a PRN basis, it did not give an excuse as to why respiratory equipment was not being labeled and placed in a plastic bag when not in use. LVN Z said she was the nurse for Residents #11, #17, and #21 and she must have overlooked the residents' respiratory equipment. LVN Z went to Resident #11 and Resident #17's room where she observed Resident #17's oxygen tubing still on the floor and Resident #11's nebulizer tubing with the mask sitting on the resident's rolling walker at the bedside. LVN Z placed on gloves and began to dispose of respiratory equipment by placing inside of a plastic bag and removing from the room of Resident #11's room. LVN Z said she would replace the respiratory equipment with new equipment, which she did including Resident #21. Interview on 02/11/25 at 2:20PM the DON said all respiratory equipment such as masks were supposed to be inside of zip top bag when not in use. The DON said the equipment should be dated and changed weekly usually on the night shift and as needed for infection control. The DON said the nurses were responsible in changing respiratory equipment.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** The facility failed to 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 disease and infections and follow standard and transmission-based precautions to be followed to prevent spread of infections for 1 of 24 (Resident #14) residents reviewed for infection control. Residents Affected - Few During tracheostomy care for Resident #14, RN A and LVN B failed to properly dispose of used materials in a biohazard bag after completing care. This failure could put residents at risk of exposure to infection and cross contamination. Findings included: Record review of Resident #14's face sheet last captured 02/13/2025 revealed a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted on [DATE]. His medical diagnoses included anoxic brain damage (brain damage from lack of oxygen), muscle wasting and atrophy, cognitive communication deficit, tracheostomy status, chronic congestive heart failure, and pneumonia (infection of the lungs). Record review of Resident #14's Comprehensive MDS dated [DATE] revealed that he was receiving oxygen therapy at the facility. Record review of Resident #14's BIMS (a short assessment to determine a person's cognitive intactness) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a score of 0, indicating Resident #14 had severe cognitive impairment. He was marked as rarely or never understood and that he was severely impaired in making decisions regarding tasks of daily life. Record review of Resident #14's baseline care plan dated 02/09/2025 revealed he was receiving oxygen therapy, with interventions including monitoring for s/sx of respiratory distress and report to MD PRN.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few that staff or residents would not know how to properly handle biohazard material since they did not know what it contained. That could cause infection control issues because it was infectious to leave a room with fluids in a regular bag instead of a biohazard bag. Interview on 2/13/2025 at 2:36 with RN A, she said she was going to double-bag Resident #14's trash with a clear bag and then place it in a biohazard bag and take it to the biohazard room in the soiled utility room. RN A said the bag contained body fluid and sputum which would have been in the biohazard bag. She said not doing placing biohazard supplies in a biohazard bag before exiting a resident's room could have caused exposure to a respiratory illness.
