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.

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.

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.

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.
