nurses did their initial dental evaluations, she reviewed it and the SW notes to fill out her section of the
dental assessments. She stated she did Resident #17's MDS Assessment on 03/02/24 and coded he had
no actual teeth but had upper and lower dentures with poor fit. She stated not being sure why his 08/31/23
MDS showed he had no dental issues that was done by the former SW F. She stated after review of former
SW F notes revealed Resident #17 had dentures he chose not to wear and said she was not sure why. She
stated former SW F should have put he had upper and lower dentures not fitting on his 08/31/23 admission
MDS Assessment and was not sure why she did not do that. She stated she did Resident #37's admission
MDS assessment dated [DATE] including the Dental section L and tried to do his dental assessment, but he
refused to open his mouth. She stated she did not try to make another attempt to assess his teeth and was
not sure why. She stated she checked None of the above on his admission MDS despite the resident saying
he had natural teeth and thought she saw he had teeth but was not able to tell the condition of them. She
stated she believed he had natural teeth that was why she coded None of the above because he was not
complaining of pain and in hindsight should have coded, he had natural teeth that were broken. She stated
Resident #60's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] was coded None in poor condition. She stated
she did not assess Resident 60's teeth when she first admitted . She stated since having this conversation
with the HHSC State Surveyor she was going to start going behind the nurses and SW and do her own
dental assessments, not rely on what they said, and would do her own documentation. She stated if
residents were not getting appropriate dental assessments upon admission and quarterly assessments, the
resident's teeth could deteriorate and get infected, and they could start having cardiac issues and poor
appetite that could lead to a lot of other things.
In an interview on 04/12/24 at 4:32 pm, the DON stated she was not aware of any issues with the Dental
section of the MDS Assessments being inaccurate. She stated it was the responsibility of the person coding
that section for it to be right. She stated when the residents admitted to this facility, the nurses were to do
their admission assessments including the condition of their teeth and stated there were no issues with the
nurse's admission assessments. She stated the nurse's dental assessments depended on a lot of factors
because the residents may not always open their mouths. She stated based on the observation seen they
needed to document it accurately. She stated she was not sure who did the dental section of the MDS
Assessments and could not really say but thought the MDS Coordinator was responsible for ensuring the
MDS Assessments were accurate. She stated after everyone completed their parts, she signed the MDS
Assessment as the RN, but said she was not responsible for ensuring the MDS Assessments were
accurate.
Interview on 04/12/24 at 4:50 pm, the Administrator stated not being aware of any errors with the MDS
assessments for Residents #17, #37, and #60. He stated the MDS Coordinator, and the DON were
responsible for ensuring the MDS Assessments were accurate. He added his expectations for the MDS
Assessments were for them to always be accurate and to know how their residents were and the resident's
plan of care. He stated, I know what can happen to the residents if they were not getting accurate
assessments, but I don't want to say because it will be quoted in the tag. He stated his plan to prevent
inaccurate MDS assessments was to ensure the MDS assessments were done accurately. He stated he
planned to solicit the assistance of corporate to develop a plan of correction and monitoring tool.
Review of the facility's MDS Nursing Policies and Procedures email revision dated 09/28/23 revealed,

after review of former SW F notes revealed Resident #17 had dentures he chose not to wear and said she
was not sure why. She stated not being sure if a dental referral was made to get Resident #17 a dental
consult because former SW F just left a few months ago. She stated former SW F should have put he had
upper and lower dentures not fitting on his 08/31/23 admission MDS Assessment and was not sure why
she did not do that. She stated Resident #60 was missing several teeth that were in poor condition and
coded none of the above her Quarterly MDS Assessment 02/29/24 and Resident #60 had no SW notes to
review. She stated she notified the DON about Resident #60's need for a dental checkup in February 2024
then said she honestly could not remember if she did or not. She stated she did not assess Resident 60's
teeth when she first admitted and former SW F should have referred her to the dentist because of the poor
condition of her teeth. She stated the DON was responsible for coordinating who received dental consults
and stated she was not sure if she spoke to the DON about dental referrals for Residents #17 and #60. She
stated since having this conversation with the HHSC Surveyor she was going to start going behind the
nurses and SW and do her own dental assessments and not rely on what they said and did her own
documentation. She stated if residents were not getting appropriate dental assessments upon admission
and quarterly the residents' teeth could deteriorate and get infected, they could start having cardiac issues
and poor appetite that could lead to a lot of other things. She stated she was currently emailing the DON to
see about getting Residents #17 and #60 dental consults.
In an interview on 04/12/24 at 4:32 pm, the DON stated when the residents admitted to this facility, the
nurses had to do admission assessments including the condition of their teeth and stated there were no
issues with the nurse's admission assessments being inaccurate. She stated the nurse's dental
assessments depended on a lot of factors because the resident may not always open their mouths. She
stated no one notified her about getting dental referrals for Resident #17 and #60 but stated she would
seek getting them dental consults. She stated they were without a SW for about three or four months (since
January 2023) and that she was responsible for arranging the resident's dental consults. She stated they
have a new SW E who just started working here two weeks ago. She stated If the nurses did not accurately
assess the resident's dental status and refer them for dental care the residents could start losing weight
because of not eating, they could experience pain, or gum pain and infections.
In an interview on 04/12/24 at 4:50 pm, the Administrator stated not being aware of any issues with dental
referrals for Residents #17 and #60. He stated when they were without a SW, the DON was responsible for
referring the residents for dental checkups. He stated, I know what can happen to the residents if they were
not getting dental consults, but I don't want to say because it will be quoted in the tag . He stated his plan to
prevent inaccurate MDS assessments was to ensure the MDS assessments were done accurately and
done as needed. He stated he planned to solicit the assistance of corporate to develop a plan of correction
and monitoring tool

Following checking fasting blood sugar before meals and at bedtime.
Residents Affected - Some
Observation on 04/10/24 at 8:45 a.m. revealed an unknown resident at the medication cart with LVN A
taking his blood pressure. LVN A completed taking the resident's blood pressure, and placing the blood
pressure cuff back on the top of the medication cart. LVN A failed to sanitize the blood pressure cuff before
or after using it on the resident.
Observation on 04/10/24 at 9:00 a.m. revealed LVN A performing morning medication pass, during which
time she checked the blood pressures on Resident #10. LVN A failed to sanitize the blood pressure cuff
before or after using it on Resident #10.
Observation on 04/10/24 at 9:26 a.m. revealed LVN A performing morning medication pass, during which
time she checked the blood pressures on Resident #34. LVN A failed to sanitize the blood pressure cuff
before or after using it on Resident #34.
Observation on 04/11/24 at 11:30 a.m. revealed LVN B (training RN C) performed a blood sugar test on
Resident #1. LVN B sanitized the glucometer machine (an instrument for measuring the concentration of
glucose in the blood) without using the appropriate sanitizing wipes, using an alcohol swab instead before
and after testing Resident #1's blood.
In an interview on 04/10/24 at 9:45 a.m., LVN A stated she was unaware she was supposed to use the
purple top sanitizing wipes to sanitize the blood pressure cuff between usage. LVN A stated she knew to
use the sanitizing wipes between usage on the glucometers because that was blood. She stated there had
been in-services on infection control and cleaning equipment, but she did not recall talking about blood
pressure cuffs. LVN A stated that if blood pressure cuffs were not cleaned appropriately it could spread
germs.
Interview on 04/11/24 at 4:00 p.m., LVN B and RN C revealed LVN B stated she knew that reusable
equipment, like glucometers, should be sanitized with purple top sanitizing wipes between each resident to
prevent transmitting an infection from one resident to another. She stated she was supposed to cleanse the
glucometer before and after using purple top sanitizing wipes, but she was just not paying attention, talking
instead. LVN B stated that if the equipment that was used on the residents was not cleaned correctly it
could cross contaminate causing a spread of infection. RN C did not comment when the equipment
(glucometer) was cleaned with an alcohol swab. RN B stated she knew to use the purple top sanitizing
wipes to cleanse the glucometers between each usage. Both nurses were asked about cleaning other
equipment, they both stated the glucometers were all you used the purple top sanitizing wipes on, except to
wipe down the top of the medication carts, and not on blood pressure cuffs.
In an interview on 04/11/24 at 4:36 p.m. with the DON she stated that her expectation was that staff would
sanitize all reusable equipment between each resident use. She stated that not doing so placed residents
at risk of cross contamination of infections from one resident to another. She stated there was plenty of
supplies for the nursing staff to have the sanitization wipes that are EPA-registered disinfectant, on all the
medication carts. The DON stated there had recently been conducted an in-service for the staff on infection
control and cleaning equipment.
