Record review of Resident #41's MDS dated [DATE] indicated she had diagnoses of hypertension (high blood pressure), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that starts and stops suddenly), and acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (lungs cannot provide enough oxygen to the body or remove enough carbon dioxide). Resident #41 was cognitively intact. Resident #41 had oxygen therapy. Record review of Resident #41's physician's order dated 11/08/23 indicated she had an order for continuous O2 (Oxygen) at 3 Liters (volume of oxygen delivered) via nasal canula.

Physician orders dated 06/12/2024 indicated Resident #258 had an order to receive a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line dressing change weekly using sterile technique per protocol, after surveyor intervention. A TAR dated June 2024 for Resident #258 indicated a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line dressing change order written 06/12/2024, after surveyor intervention. During an observation on 06/10/2024 at 11:30 a.m. Resident #258 was in his room lying in bed. Resident #258 had a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line to the inside of his right upper arm and a tegaderm dressing (transparent film waterproof sterile dressing) dated 06/02/2024 covering it.

Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line dressing, but usually it's every 7 days. She said she thought that the RN in this facility would do the dressing changes. During an interview on 6/12/24 at 9am LVN C said she was the charting nurse and LVN D said she was the Medication Nurse. They both said they were agency nurses and would notify the DON that Resident #258 needed his IV dressing changed. They stated they did not see an order, both said they were not aware of who's responsibility it was, but know how to assess for infection, and knew the site should be clean and dry which it was. During an interview on 06/12/24 at 9:30 a.m., the DON said to prevent infection PICC line dressings were changed once a week and documented on the resident's TAR. The DON said an RN had to change a PICC line dressing because it required sterile technique when changed. The DON said there were 4 residents with PICC lines. The DON said Resident #258 did not have an order for a PICC line dressing., She said the facility has standing protocols for PICC line dressing changes, but this resident did not have an order in place. The DON said Resident #258's dressing had not been changed in a week, and he was at risk for infection. A Peripheral IV Dressing change policy dated 2001 states the purpose of this procedure was to prevent catheter-related infections associated with contaminated, loosened, or soiled catheter-site dressings. Change the dressing if it became damp, loosened, or visibly soiled, and at least every 7 days.

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.
Based on observations and interviews, the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments on 1 of 8 medication carts (400 Hall medication cart) reviewed for labeling and storage of medication. The facility did not ensure the 400 Hall medication cart was secured and unable to be accessed by unauthorized personnel. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving drugs and biologicals as needed or a drug diversion.
