The DON stated the previous Nursing Home Administrator (pNHA) always completed them because the pNHA was the only person in the facility who had access to the PASRR system. The DON reviewed Resident #7's PASRR dated 08/30/23 and Resident #40's PASRR dated 07/21/23 and confirmed both were not correct and Resident #7 and #40 should have been submitted for a level II review.

The pNHA stated most of the time PASRRs did not need to be completed at the facility as most residents came to the facility with the PASRRs completed by the hospital prior to admission to the facility. The pNHA stated she was the only staff member in the facility that had access to the PASRR portal in Kepro. The pNHA stated she only remembered a couple of PASRRs she had to complete because the Residents did not come with a PASARR. The pNHA stated she remembered both she and the DON sat down and completed the PASARR together but the pNHA had to submit the PASARR as the DON did not have access to the PASRR online system. The pNHA stated when signing the PASRR electronically it was submitted by just typing the name down and submitting the form.

It is the responsibility of the center to assess and assure the appropriate preadmission screenings, either Level I or Level II, are conducted and results obtained prior to admission and placed in the appropriate section of the resident's medical record. 4. If it is learned after admission that a PASARR Level II screening is indicated, it will be the responsibility of Social Services/designee to coordinate and/or inform the appropriate agency to conduct the screening and obtain results. 5. Results of the screening evaluation will be placed in the appropriate section of the individual's medical record and any recommendations for service will be followed.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure proper infection control practices related to handwashing, cleaning of reusable equipment, and washing of reusable water pitches in two of two resident halls. Findings included: An observation was made on 10/1/23 at 9:18 a.m. of a bedpan sitting in a basket in the bathroom of Resident #7. The bedpan was uncovered, and wet washcloths were in the basket with it. Resident #7 said the bedpan had been sitting in her bathroom like that since she had to give a urine sample several days ago. (Photographic evidence obtained.) Review of admission records showed Resident #7 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection (UTI). Review of Resident #7's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS,) dated 7/14/23, Section C, Cognitive Patterns showed her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 12, indicating she had moderately impaired cognition.

An interview was conducted on 10/4/23 at 2:22 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON.) She reviewed the photo of the bedpan in the bathroom of Resident #7. The DON confirmed the bedpan and used washcloths should not have been left in the bathroom. She said a straight catheter should have been used for the urine sample. An observation was made on 10/3/23 at 9:01 a.m. of Staff A, RN using a blood pressure cuff on two different residents during medication pass without cleaning the blood pressure cuff between residents. The blood pressure cuff was observed to be a wrist cuff that was made of a cloth material. The cloth was observed to have soiled spots on it. (Photographic evidence obtained.) During this same medication pass, Staff A, RN took a resident's blood pressure, returned to the cart without performing hand hygiene, gathered medications, realized a medication was not in the cart, called a provider from her cell phone, went to the medication room to access the emergency drug kit, signed out the medication, returned to the cart, then went to the resident room to administer medications. Throughout this process no hand hygiene was performed. An interview was conducted on 10/4/23 at 2:20 p.m. with Staff A, RN. Staff A, RN said the blood pressure cuff should be cleaned between each resident. She said she usually wipes it with the cleaning wipes in her cart. Staff A, RN confirmed the blood pressure cuff was cloth on the inside portion that touches the residents. She said you can't use sanitizer or anything liquid because the cuff will stay wet. She said the wipes work ok. An interview was conducted on 10/4/23 at 2:22 p.m. with the DON. The DON said the blood pressure cuffs should be cleaned between every resident. When asked about the wrist cuffs being used, she said those are the nurses' personal blood pressure cuffs, they do not belong to the facility. The DON looked at the blood pressure cuff and acknowledged the cloth could not be sanitized. The DON also confirmed staff should be performing proper hand hygiene every time they go in and out of a resident room. An observation was made on 10/2/23 at 10:55 a.m. of a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) refilling resident's pink plastic water pitchers for the morning. The CNA was observed picking up a water pitcher from a resident's bedside table, dumping the water in the sink, taking it to a cooler in the hallway, filling it with ice and water, and she then returned it to the resident's tray table.
