right lower torso area having yelled out in pain. CNA A returned shortly to render aid, where she cleaned
him, and provided clean linen and clothing. CNA A left the room. On the next day, 1-17-2024, CNA B was
assisting Resident #1 with a bed bath and noticed Resident #1's right lower torso area was red. CNA B
asked LVN C for help, where it was discovered that Resident # 1's right lower torso area was red with
blisters. CNA A was suspended pending investigation, subject to discharge, for having known of the spilled
soup and having not reported the incident to the charge nurse.
Record review of Resident #1 AR, dated 2-6-2024, indicated a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. He was diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension (which was lightheadedness or
dizziness when standing after sitting or lying down); unspecified lack of coordination; need for assistance

himself on 1-16-2024. If she had been the CNA on duty, she stated she would have wanted to see where
the soup was spilled and get the nurse to check for injuries. According to CNA F, CNA A failed in her duties
having not reported the spill to the nurse for medical assessment and treatment.
Interview on 2-5-2024 at 11:45 AM with CNA B revealed she was in Resident #1's room on the evening of
1-17-2024 to give Resident #1 a bed bath. When she was about to begin, Resident #1 pointed to his right
lower torso area, referring to the area he spilled his soup, and asked if she was going to do anything about
it, because [it was uncomfortable.] She pulled back Resident #1's covers and clothing to reveal a big bubble
blister. She immediately got LVN C for a medical assessment. Both CNA B and LVN C returned to the room
where she observed LVN C assess the injury. CNA B observed the big bubble blister was seeping clear
liquid. After the wound was dressed by LVN C, CNA B continued with Resident #1's bed bath. If she were
on duty the night of 1-16-2024, when Resident #1 spilled his soup, she stated she would have asked the
nurse to check his skin. CNA B stated CNA A neglected Resident #1 by not reporting the matter to the
nurse for medical assessment and treatment.
Interview on 2-5-2024 at 12:40 PM with CNA A revealed Resident #1 asked her to heat up some soup for
him on the evening of 1-16-2024. The soup was a single serve microwavable soup. She did what she was
asked and returned the soup to Resident #1's bedside table. She stated she placed it on the bed side table
and told Resident #1 to wait until it cooled off, because she stated it was steaming. CNA A left the room to
address other duties. CNA A guesstimated 5-10 minutes passed when she noticed his call light was
activated. After an additional 2-3 minutes, she stated she entered the room for the call. When she entered
the room, she learned that Resident #1 had spilled his soup on his right lower torso area. She removed
Resident #1's clothing and bedding then provided clean replacements. After, she left the room to address
her duties. She did not report the incident of Resident # 1 having spilled soup, which she referred to as
steaming on his right lower torso area.
Interview on 2-5-2024 at 1:49 PM with LVN C revealed she was on duty the evening of 1-17-2024, around
5:00 PM, when CNA B reported Resident #1 needed medical attention. When LVN C entered the room, she
noticed Resident #1's right lower torso area was red. LVN C pulled back the sheet and discovered two
blistered areas, one of which one had popped exposing raw skin. She informed the nurse practitioner,
applied Silvadene cream, and dressed the wound. LVN C stated Resident #1 told her [it hurt at the time it
happened.] LVN C had been a nurse for 17 years with experience treating burns and characterized
Resident #1's injury either a 1st degree or a 2nd degree burn. Furthermore, she stated the skin would have
continued to burn until the burn stopped on its own, or if something were applied like cold water, ice, or
Silvadene cream. Had the burn been treated sooner, it might have had a better outcome. LVN C stated
CNA A should have told the nurse after she learned Resident #1 spilled hot soup on himself. Also, neglect
did not have to be a willful act. LVN C completed a SBAR form, to note a Change in Condition, for Resident
#1's burn on 1-17-2024 at 5:00 PM. The wound care was assigned to the wound care nurse, LVN G,
because raw skin was exposed and there was a greater risk of infection. According to WebMD at
[https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-4910silvadene-topical/details] Silvadene cream was a medication
used with other treatments to help prevent and treat wound infections in patients with serious burns.
Group interview on 2-5-2024 at 2:10 PM with LVN G (wound nurse), Physician H (wound doctor), and
Physician I (wound doctor) revealed a consensus that the wound on Resident #1 was classified as a 2nd
degree burn. LVN G stated that CNA A should have reported the soup spill to the nurse for a medical
assessment.

burn to the right flank area with improvement observed on this visit evidenced by decreased surface area.
Wound was cleaned with n/s and anesthesia was achieved using topical benzocaine and resident has no
complaint of pain or discomfort during this assessment. Then with clean surgical technique, 15 blade was
used to surgically excise 9.00cm of devitalized tissue and necrotic subcutaneous level tissues along with
slough and biofilm were removed at a depth of 0.1cm and healthy bleeding tissue was observed. As a result
of this procedure, the nonviable tissue in the wound bed decreased from 30% to 5%. Hemostasis was
achieved and a clean dressing was applied. The resident has been made aware of the condition of the
wound and the treatment that is in place.

CNA A came back to his room, who changed his clothes and his bedding. He did not remember if CNA A
asked him if he was in any pain. No other staff member came to his room to look at his skin or to see if he
needed medical attention. During the interview, CNA E came to the room and moved back Resident #1's
covers to expose his right-side lower torso area. His right-side lower torso area was covered with two light
pink bandages.

Interview, observation, and record review on 2-5-2024 at 10:55 AM with CNA E revealed that residents
have asked her to heat their food for them in the past. She said there was a microwave in the nutrition room
at the nurse's station. Having reheated resident's food before, she admitted that she had not used a
thermometer to check for the food's temperature until the incident with Resident #1's soup on the evening
of 1-16-2024. Since then, she stated that the staff had been trained to check the resident's food with a
thermometer prior to returning it to the resident. CNA E demonstrated her knowledge of training provided
by the facility having attempted to heat a cup of water in a plastic coffee cup in the microwave. The
observation reflected CNA E having entered the nutrition room, near the 300 hall, where she looked for a
thermometer. CNA E opened the drawer under the microwave, where the thermometer was visible, but she
could not locate it. She opened and shut the drawer 3 times before she finally located the thermometer.
There were no alcohol swabs. CNA E had to leave the nutrition room and locate alcohol swabs, which were
located on the medication cart. When she returned to the nutrition room, she placed the cup of water in the
microwave. CNA E did not know a guesstimated time to put the cup of water in the microwave. When the
timer went off, she wiped the thermometer and placed it in the cup, the temperature was 145 degrees
Fahrenheit. CNA E then stated that she would wait for the coffee, or whatever the item was, to cool to 135
degrees Fahrenheit before having given it to the resident. CNA E stated having known a start point to put a
particular item in the microwave to heat to 135 degrees Fahrenheit would help, because having to wait for it
to cool risked bringing something to a resident that was too hot. She also stated that alcohol swabs should
have been located in the drawer next to the thermometer because not having one handy risked using a
thermometer that was not clean. The only written guidance in the nutrition room for reference, near the 300
hall, was a square sticker on the refrigerator with a picture of a thermometer. The sticker indicated the

proper holding temperatures for foods were above 135 degrees Fahrenheit or below 41 degrees
Fahrenheit. This sticker informed the reader of safe holding temperatures to avoid food borne pathogens,
not to designate safe temperatures for elderly consumption. CNA E reviewed the in-service training, and
her name was not recorded to mark attendance.
Interview, observation, and record review on 2-5-2024 at 11:20 AM with CNA F revealed she had heard
Resident #1 spilled soup on himself on 1-16-2024. If she had been the CNA on duty, she stated she would
have wanted to see where the soup was spilled and get the nurse to check for injuries. According to CNA F,
CNA A failed in her duties having not reported the spill to the nurse. CNA F entered the nutrition room, near
the 700 hall, and demonstrated her knowledge from the in-service training, called [Hot Beverages and Food
Temperature,] dated 1-18-2024. CNA F stated that the coffee was supposed to be reheated between
135-150 degrees Fahrenheit. She said that coffee was safe to serve to residents at 145 degrees
Fahrenheit. CNA F correctly demonstrated the process to heat an item, but she was incorrect about the
coffee temperature being safe to serve at 145 degrees Fahrenheit. CNA F was provided a copy of the
in-service training for [Hot Beverages and Food Temperature,] dated 1-18-2024. When she reviewed the
in-service training, she became confused because the in-service training indicated more than one example
of safe temperatures that were safe for elderly consumption. She noted the heading of the in-service
training stated coffee and hot water for residents cannot exceed 135 degrees Fahrenheit, but (3)
recommended elderly safe consumption was 135-150 degrees Fahrenheit. She was also confused because
the instructions for soup (2) stated soup should be warmed up to 135°F unless it is left over and then
you reheat it to 165°F for 15 seconds. The only written guidance in the nutrition room for reference,
near the 700 hall, was a square sticker on the refrigerator with a picture of a thermometer. The sticker
indicated the proper holding temperatures for foods was 135°F or 41°F; this sticker informed the
reader of safe holding temperatures to avoid food borne pathogens, not to designate safe temperatures for
elderly consumption. CNA F reviewed the in-service training, and her name was recorded marking
attendance.
Interview, observation, and record review on 2-5-2024 at 11:45 AM with CNA B revealed she was in
Resident #1's room on the evening of 1-17-2024 to give Resident #1 a bed bath. When she was about to
begin, Resident #1 pointed to his right lower torso area, referring to the area he spilled his soup, and asked
if she was going to do anything about it, because [it was uncomfortable.] She pulled back Resident #1's
covers and clothing to reveal a big bubble blister. She immediately got LVN C for a medical assessment.
Both CNA B and LVN C returned to the room where she observed LVN C assess the injury. CNA B
observed the big bubble blister was seeping clear liquid. After the wound was dressed by LVN C, CNA B
continued with Resident #1's bed bath. If she were on duty the night of 1-16-2024, when Resident #1
spilled his soup, she stated she would have asked the nurse to check his skin. CNA B stated CNA A
neglected Resident #1 by not reporting the matter to the nurse. Prior to the incident with Resident #1
having spilled his soup, CNA B stated there was no direction given to CNAs that pertained to food and
beverage temperatures for elderly safe consumption. CNA B entered the nutrition room, near the 300 hall,
to demonstrate her knowledge of the in-service training for [Hot Beverages and Food Temperature,] dated
1-18-2024. At this time, the thermometer was located in the same location as before, but the thermometer
was placed it in a 1-gallon size plastic bag and had used a black magic marker to indicate a temperature
range of 135-145 degrees Fahrenheit, which was not congruent with the in-service training and safe
consumption for the elderly. However, CNA B correctly demonstrated the process of heating up a plastic
cup of water not to exceed 135 degrees Fahrenheit. She started at 30 second intervals and brought the
temperature up gradually so it did not exceed 135 degrees Fahrenheit. CNA B reviewed the in-service
training, and her name was recorded marking

Interview, observation, and record review on 2-5-2024 at 12:40 PM with CNA A revealed Resident #1 asked
her to heat up some soup for him on the evening of 1-16-2024. The soup was a single serve microwavable
soup. She did what she was asked and returned the soup to Resident #1's bedside table. She stated she
placed it on the bed side table and told Resident #1 to wait until it cooled off, because she stated it was
steaming. CNA A left the room to address other duties. CNA A guesstimated 5-10 minutes passed when
she noticed his call light was activated. After an additional 2-3 minutes, she stated she entered the room for
the call. When she entered the room, she learned that Resident #1 had spilled his soup on his right lower
torso area. She removed Resident #1's clothing and bedding then provided clean replacements. After, she
left the room to address her duties. She did not report the incident of Resident # 1 having spilled soup,
which she referred to as steaming on his right lower torso area. Prior to the incident on 1-16-2024, CNA A
stated she had not received any formal training on food temperatures for elderly safe consumption.
However, after the incident on 1-16-2024, the facility began to train staff on hot beverages and food
temperature. CNA A entered the nutrition room, near the 700 hall, to demonstrate the training she received
for [Hot Beverages and Food Temperature] on 1-18-2024. CNA A filled a plastic coffee cup with water and
placed it in the microwave and heated the water with an increments of 30 seconds. She took the liquids
temperature for two intervals of heating but did not use an alcohol wipe before inserting the thermometer.
She stopped at 117 degrees Fahrenheit and said she would have provided it to the resident. CNA A
reviewed the in-service training and was unable to determine the safe temperature for elderly consumption
for a can of soup. The training initially stated that 135 degrees Fahrenheit was the safe temperature for
soup, but the training also said it could be heated to 135 is it was considered a left over. CNA A reviewed
the in-service training, and her name was recorded marking attendance.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview and record review on 2-5-2024 at 1:31 PM with the DM and the [Hot Beverages and Food
Temperature] in-service on 1-18-2024 revealed she was not consulted by the ADM with the information
contained in the training. According to the DM, the different temperatures in the trainings were not
consistent. Temperature logs for coffee in the month of January 2023 and February 2023 indicated all 3
coffee station areas, Shawnee, Express, and Activity, ranged between 130-135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Interview on 2-5-2024 at 1:49 PM with LVN C revealed she was on duty the evening of 1-17-2024, around
5:00 PM, when CNA B reported Resident #1 needed medical attention. When LVN C entered the room, she
noticed Resident #1's right lower torso area was red. LVN C pulled back the sheet and discovered two
blistered areas, one of which one had popped exposing raw skin. She informed the nurse practitioner,
applied Silvadene cream, and dressed the wound. LVN C stated Resident #1 told her [it hurt at the time it
happened.] LVN C had been a nurse for 17 years with experience treating burns and characterized
Resident #1's injury either a 1st degree or a 2nd degree burn. Furthermore, she stated the skin would have
continued to burn until the burn stopped on its own, or if something were applied like cold water, ice, or
Silvadene cream. Had the burn been treated sooner, it might have had a better outcome. LVN C stated
CNA A should have told the nurse after she learned Resident #1 spilled hot soup on himself. Also, neglect
did not have to be a willful act. LVN C completed a SBAR form, to note a Change in Condition, for Resident
#1's burn on 1-17-2024 at 5:00 PM. The wound care was assigned to the wound care nurse, LVN G,
because raw skin was exposed and there was a greater risk of infection. According to WebMD at
[https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-4910silvadene-topical/details] Silvadene cream was a medication
used with other treatments to help prevent and treat wound infections in patients with serious burns.

jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Residents Affected - Few
Physician I (wound doctor) revealed a consensus that the wound on Resident #1 was classified as a 2nd
degree burn. LVN G stated that CNA A should have reported the soup spill to the nurse for a medical
assessment.
Interview and record review on 2-5-2024 at 3:00 PM with the ADM revealed the CNA staff who
demonstrated heating items in the microwave were confused after they were interviewed. The ADM was
shown the in-service for [Hot Beverages and Food Temperature] on 1-18-2024 and was informed that the
demonstration and the interview questions came directly from the in-service [Hot Beverages and Food
Temperature] on 1-18-2024. The ADM stated that the information on the in-service for [Hot Beverages and
Food Temperature] on 1-18-2024 was taught differently. However, she understood the actual words and
temperature ranges contradicted each other. Staff were being re-trained.
Interview and observation on 2-5-2024 at 5:24 PM with Resident #2 revealed he asked CNA J to bring him
a cup of coffee on 2-3-2024 around 7:30 AM. CNA J brought him a cup of coffee and put it in his right hand
then left the room. After a brief few moment, he stated he dropped the coffee in his crotch and yelled out in
pain because it hurt a lot when it happened. He stated he was in pain for about 30 seconds. He was asked
to demonstrate how he held a plastic coffee cup, the same kind used by the facility. Before he could accept
the coffee cup, he needed to put down his call-light button, which was in his right hand. Observations
reflected his right arm, right forearm, and his right hand moved very slowly. Resident #2 displayed difficulty
manipulating his fingers to release his grasp of the call-light button and his arm moved unsteadily when he
reached out to grab the plastic cup. Resident #2 did not have use of his left arm, left forearm, or his left
hand.
Interview on 2-5-2024 at 5:32 PM with CNA K revealed she has provided care for Resident #2 many times.
She stated he did not have proficient use with his right hand sometimes it moved in a jerking motion. She
stated she would not have given Resident #2 a cup of hot coffee and left him [NAME][TRUNCATED]
