On June 17, 2019, Resident 89 was passing by
Resident 120's room and both residents had a
disagreement about Resident 120's door being
left closed. The facility failed to implement
interventions until June 23, 2019, when
Resident 120 hit Resident 89 on the left side of
his neck with a man-made weapon.

members.

there whenever he wanted to. Resident 120 got
upset and they started an argument. The DON

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to develop/implement
a comprehensive person-centered care plan for
three of 32 sampled residents (Residents 100,
125, and 144) by:
1. Failed to develop complete care plan for
Resident 100 who have vascular/diabetic ulcer
and actual skin breakdown.
2. Failed to develop a plan of care for Resident
125 who yells for his food to include in his care
plan serving of meal trays on scheduled times.
3. Failed to implement Resident 144 care plan
to assist resident in bathing twice a week and
as needed as indicated in the care plan.
These deficient practices have the potential for
the missed implementation of relevant
interventions and a decline in physical and
psychosocial well-being.

Resident 100 was admitted to the facility on

reaction that occurs between drugs that should
not be mixed) and tube occlusion (blockage).

3. Failed to monitor and document the
refrigerator temperature and the medication
room temperature for one of three medication
rooms (Station 2).
These deficient practices had the potential to
compromise the therapeutic effectiveness of
the stored medication or cause medication
errors and lead to unsafe nursing practice.
Findings:
a. During an observation on June 28, 2019 at
10:05 a.m. of medication cart 3 for the
Subacute unit (a unit for complete inpatient
care for someone suffering from an illness or
injury), an unopened vial of Humulin was found
inside the medication cart. The label on the
container for the Humulin vial indicated that the
medication needed to be refrigerated.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational
Nurse 3 (LVN 3) on June 28, 2019 at 10:20
a.m., LVN 3 stated that the unopened vial of
Humulin should have been stored in the
refrigerator until it is opened.
A review of the manufacturers recommended
guideline for proper storage of Humulin states
to store new (unopened) vials in the refrigerator
between 36 and 46 degrees F (Fahrenheit). Do
not freeze.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the hospice
services (program designed to provide a caring
environment for meeting the physical and
emotional needs of the terminally ill) meet
professional standards, and necessary care
was provided consistently to a resident who
was receiving hospice services for two of three
sampled residents (Resident 113 and 100 ) by
failing to:
1. Collaborate with hospice representatives in
the hospice care planning process for those
residents receiving hospice services.
2. Ensure Resident 100's hospice agency
provided a calendar as means of
communicating with the facility when the
projected visits are scheduled.
These deficient practices had the potential to
negatively affect residents' physical comfort
and psychosocial well-being and had the
potential to result in a delay or lack of
coordination in delivery of hospice services to
the resident.
