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 ensure that respiratory care was provided consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 18 residents (Resident #39) reviewed for respiratory care and services. Residents Affected - Few Resident #39 was receiving oxygen therapy with humidification. The prefilled humidifier bottle was dated 09/25/2022. This deficient practice could place residents who receive respiratory care and services at risk of developing respiratory infections and complications. Findings: Record Review of face sheet dated 11/2/2022 indicated Resident # 39 was admitted to facility on 03/02/2022 with diagnoses of acute kidney disease, anemia (low blood count), pain, anxiety, and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident # 39 had a BIMS of 15 indicating intact cognition. At the time of MDS, Resident # 39 was not receiving oxygen therapy. Record review of care plan dated 09/21/2022 indicated Resident # 39 required oxygen therapy. Record review of order summary report dated 11/01/2022 indicated Resident # 39 had oxygen ordered on 09/25/2022 at 2 to 4 liters per nasal cannula as needed and to change and date oxygen tubing and humidifier water every Sunday night. During an observation on 10/31/2022 at 10:34 am Resident # 39 was receiving oxygen therapy at 2 liters per nasal cannula and oxygen tubing was dated 10/30/2022 and connected to prefilled humidifier bottle that was empty and dated 9/25/2022. During an observation on 11/01/22 at 08:35 AM Resident # 39 was receiving oxygen that was connected to a prefilled humidifier bottle dated 9/25/2022 and empty. During an interview on 11/02/22 at 08:15 AM LVN A stated the night nurse is responsible for changing the oxygen tubing and humidifier weekly and as needed. Both the tubing and humidifier are dated when they are changed. LVN A did not know why the prefilled humidified water was not changed when the oxygen tubing was changed. There is an order placed on the nurse treatment record for the weekly change. The risk could be infection to the resident.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services, including procedures that assures the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of medications for 2 of 2 medication carts (nurse cart for halls 100/200 and 300/400). The facility did not dispose of expired insulins for Resident #76 and glucose control solutions from the nurse medication carts for halls 100/200 and 300/400. These failures could place residents who receive medications at risk of not receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of the medications, decreased quality of life, and hospitalization. Findings included: 1.During an observation, and interview on 10/31/22 at 10:15 am with LVN C the medication cart for 100/200 hall contained Assure Prism Glucose Control Solution High and Low with a discard date of 10/20/22, (no opened date) LVN C said I will take that out and dispose of it. LVN C said she did not know the solution had expired and the night staff perform glucometer checks nightly and provided the logbook. LVN C said the Glucose solution should be replaced because they are only good for 28 days dates depending on manufacturer.

LVN D said, Resident #76's Insulin should have been discarded. LVN D said if the vials of insulin were not labeled with the date it was opened and discarded after 28 days it could affect to efficiency or potency of the insulin and the insulin should be discarded 28 days from removing the cap. LVN D said Resident #76 gets a FSBS after meals and every HS with sliding scale insulin to cover the value of glucose. Review of MAR for October 1 to October 30, 2022, there had been no glucose value requiring coverage since 10/07/22. LVN D said Resident #76 remains at risk due to the existing order for sliding scale coverage and that the insulin should be discarded and reordered. Record Review of Monthly order summary dated 10/01/22 indicated Resident #76 with an initial admission date 12/09/21, readmission date of 02/04/2022 with a date of birth [DATE] age [AGE]. Dx.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure food was stored, prepared, and distributed under sanitary conditions in 1 of 1 kitchen. Residents Affected - Some The DM used the wrong test strips, (QT40 Strips) instead of chlorine test strips to test the sanitizer level (ppm) in the low temperature dish machine. The dish machine would only reach 118 degrees F after three cycles, and not the manufacturer's recommendation temperature of 120 degrees F. The October 31, 2022, Dish Machine Temperature & Chemical Logs, were pre-filled for lunch and dinner before the meals occurred. There were chicken strips, biscuits, and French fries in the freezer in clear bags with no label. These clear bags were removed from the original manufacture's box and had no labels on the bag indicating what was in the bag, date received, use by date, or expiration date. The beef broth in the refrigerator was expired with an expiration date of 09/24/22. The dietary aide licked her fingers to separate the tray cards, while setting up trays on the serving line. She then picked up the tea glass, the silverware and straw and placed these items on the resident's tray. These failures could place residents who consumed food prepared from the kitchen at risk of food-borne illness. Findings Include: During an observation on 10/31/22 at 9:20 a.m., the DM tested the low temperature dish machine's chlorine level (ppm) with Quaternary Sanitizers (QT40) test strips. These test strips were indicated for testing the concentration of Quaternary Sanitizers, particularly multi-quat broad range quaternary ammonium sanitizer solutions and not the (PPM) of sanitizing solutions required for their low temperature machine. The dish machine only reached 118 degrees F after three cycles, instead of required manufacture's recommended water temperature of 120 degrees F. The Dish Machine Temperature & Chemical Log had been prefilled for lunch, and dinner at 9:20 a.m During an observation on 10/31/22 at 9:30 a.m., the following was observed in the freezer: There were frozen chicken strips, biscuits, and French fries in clear plastic bags with no label indicating the date received, or use by date. There were slices of cheese with a received date of 10/21/22, there is no use by date on the bag. There was beef broth in the refrigerator that had expired of 9/24/22.
