The ADON further stated that the facility uses privacy bags to cover the catheter drainage bags. The ADON indicated the CNAs and nurses are responsible to make sure that this is being done.

Based on observations, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled Administration Medication Policy and Procedures, the facility failed to ensure one of 23 sampled residents, (R) R23, did not have unsecured medications stored at the bedside. This deficient practice had the potential to allow unauthorized access of medications to other residents and visitors in the facility. Findings include: Record review of the facility's policy titled Administering Medications Policy and Procedures (not dated) stated return drugs to medication cart or medication room. Never leave any drug in a resident 's room. For residents who keep medication in their room check to ensure meds are stored properly out of reach of other residents. Record review of R23's medical record revealed the following diagnoses but not limited to dementia, hypertension, hypokalemia, and anxiety disorder. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed an assessment for a Brief Interview Mental Status Score (BIMS) as unable to be conducted due to R23 being rarely/never understood. Observation on 7/9/2024 at 12:35 pm revealed two bottles of Equate Nasal Spray in R23's room within visual view. One of the bottles was located in a red color pan on dresser and one on a bookshelf within view from the doorway. R23 observed in the bed at the time of the observation. Record review of R23's July 2024 Physician Order Form (POF) and July 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed no listing of an order for nasal spray. The POF listed the following medication, albuterol 2.5 one vial for nebulizer every four hours, as needed for shortness of breath and Guaifenesin with codeine solution 5 millimeters(ml) (10ml) by mouth every six hours as needed for cough. During an interview and observation of R23's room on 7/9/2024 at 2:13 pm with the Administrator and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), both confirmed the medications in the resident's room. The ADON removed the medications from the room. The Administrator reported that medications should not be in the resident 's room and should be kept on the nursing med cart.

She stated that their facility does not complete a self -administration evaluation form. She further stated that there are no known residents in the facility who have been assessed to self -administer medications.

Based on observations, resident and staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility's policy titled Activities of Daily Living the facility failed to ensure one resident, (R) R44, of 23 residents sampled were given showers as scheduled. This failure had the potential to cause R44 to be unclean and create an environment that could increase the potential for actual infections and cause the residents to feel self-conscious of appearance. Findings include: Review of the facility's policy titled, Activities of Daily Living (last revised March 2018), revealed residents who are unable to carry out activities of daily living independently will receive the services necessary to maintain good nutrition, grooming, and personal and oral hygiene. R44 admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included: Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis, cerebral infraction, personal history of transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction without residual deficits, and seizures. Review of the most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documented R44 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 14 indicating the resident had intact cognition. Further review revealed R44 had no behaviors, dependent on staff to shower/bathe self, tub/shower transfer, and personal hygiene.

R44 also stated she did not know when her showers days were scheduled but would like a shower at least three times a week. Observation, at this time, revealed the resident had dry flaky skin with dried up substance around her mouth. Review of the Bath Sheets Shower book revealed R44 did not reflect any bath or shower documented since 3/16/2024. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) BB on 7/10/2024 at 4:00 pm, at the nurse's station, she revealed the CNAs are not required to document showers/baths but if a resident refuses CNAs are to notify the nurse, and the nurse makes a progress note. CNA BB could not confirm when R44 last had a shower or bed bath. During an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) at 4:30 pm on 7/10/2024, in the nursing station revealed the bath team completes the bath sheet and are instructed to place them in the bath book, however she expressed the bath sheets are not always placed in the book. When asked how the facility keeps up with residents' baths, she expressed there has been a lot of recent changes in leadership and a lot of documents have not been enforced. ADON went through the shower book and verified there had been no documentation since March 2024, related to R44 getting a shower or bed bath.

Based on observations, resident interviews, staff interviews, and the facility policies titled Accidents and Incidents-Investigating and Reporting, Oxygen Delivery Policy, and Chemical Safety and Storage, the facility failed to ensure two of 23 sampled residents (R) ( R49 and R65) were free from accident hazards. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure R49 was free from exposure to free standing oxygen and R65 was free from exposure to harmful chemicals. Findings include: Review of facility policy titled Oxygen Delivery Policy (revised 2/28/2018) revealed 5. Oxygen cylinders must be in portable carrier or in wheelchair oxygen holders. Cylinders must not be placed on the floor. Review of facility policy titled Chemical Safety and Storage (undated) stated Proper storage of chemicals is necessary to ensure the resident environment remains as free of accident hazards as is possible. Guidelines: All chemicals should be labeled properly and in the correct containers and stored in the locked cabinet at all times. Chemicals used by housekeeping, maintenance, or dietary staff should be close guarded and not left in resident areas. 1. Record review of R49's medical record revealed the following diagnoses chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute lower, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. The Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] assessed a Brief Interview Mental Status Score (BIMS) of 15 which indicated intact cognition. Record review of R49's Physician Order Form dated 12/14/2023 revealed an order for oxygen at 3 liters /minute via nasal cannula continuously. Check oxygen Sat (saturation) check and record oxygen Sats every shift. Observation on 7/12/2024 at 9:00 am of Wing 2 dining area revealed R49 sitting in dining area in his wheelchair with other residents. A closer observation revealed the resident oxygen cylinder tank sitting on the floor next to the wheelchair and directly in front of the vending machine. There were approximately 15 residents in the dining area and random staff passing by. Nurses were observed sitting at Wing 2's nurse station. An interview was conducted with R49 at the time of the observation. R49 reported that he was waiting for the next smoke break and a staff person removed his oxygen from the back of his wheelchair holder for him and set it on the floor next to him.

Interview on 7/12/2024 at 9:45 am with HK QQ. HK QQ confirmed observing the oxygen sitting on the floor. He reported that this is a habit of the resident to sit his O2 on the floor. HK QQ reported being unaware of the risk of having O2 sitting on the floor. Interview on 7/12/2024 at 1:10 pm, ADON reported that her expectations of staff are to follow oxygen safety precautions concerning free stand oxygen cylinder tank. She reported that staff have received in-services on accident prevention concerning oxygen. 2. Observation on 7/9/2024 at 11:44 am of room [ROOM NUMBER] (R65's room) revealed Micro Kill bleach sitting on a rack underneath the bathroom sink within view of any resident or visitor entering the bathroom (shared room) for room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER].The resident room door was open. R65's was not in the room. Another observation was observed on 7/9/2024 at 11:45 am reveal outside the door, a large container of Micro Kill Bleach wipes and a can of disinfectant Spray on top of a plastic two tier drawer cart (designated as a PPE Cart Personal Protective Equipment) directly in front of Room in between room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER]. Observation on 7/9/2024 at 11:45 am, revealed a resident wandering the hall and passing the PPE cart. This resident was redirected by Social Services. Record review of R65's revealed the following diagnoses but not limited to Alzheimer 's Disease, glaucoma (blindness), unspecified dementia with severe agitations, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atrial fibrillation. Record review of R65's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] assessed a BIMS score of four which indicates severe cognitive impairment, severe vision impairment, ambulatory with supervision for short distances (can walk 10 to 50 feet with supervision or verbal cues), and dependent for most ADL except for eating, and frequently incontinent for bladder and occasionally incontinent for bowel. During an observation at the time of interview on 7/9/2024 at 2:04 pm with the Housekeeper Supervisor (HK Supervisor) and ADON, both staff confirmed the chemicals observed in R65 's bathroom and chemical on top of the PPE cart outside room door between room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER]. The HK Supervisor reported that most likely a Certified Nursing Assistant left the chemicals in the bathroom. She stated that her staff were in-serviced not to leave bleach or any chemicals in the bathroom. The ADON confirmed that having chemicals left in the bathroom placed the residents at risk due to harmful ingestion of chemical. The ADON confirmed that they do have residents who wander in the facility. She confirmed that R40 has low cognition and has a history of wandering freely throughout the facility. The HK Supervisor reported that she was informed to leave the disinfectant spray and Micro Kill Bleach wipes on top of the cart outside a resident door if they are on Transmission Base Precautions for the nursing staff and certified nursing assistant to use. The ADON reported that leaving chemicals outside of the doorway was not a part of the facility policy. The ADON reported that she was IPC (Infection Control Preventionist) for the facility. Any chemical left out would be considered harmful to the residents. The Micro Kills wipes are usually kept on the nurses' cart or in a secure place. Disinfectant Spray is kept in a secure place.

Based on observations, staff interviews, record review, and the facility policy titled Urinary Catheter, Maintenance of Indwelling Policy and Procedure , the facility failed to have a Physician order for one resident, (R) R62, of six residents with catheters. In addition, the indwelling urinary catheter order was omitted on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) to ensure monitoring instructions, and appropriate treatment services for the catheter. This deficient practice had the potential to put residents at risk for complications related to their urinary health with the possibility of urinary tract infections. Findings include Review of facility policy titled Urinary Catheters, Maintenance of Indwelling Policy and Procedure (undated) 1. A physician 's order and medical reason will be obtained for each resident receiving an indwelling catheter. The order will explain the size of catheter, size of balloon, and type of catheter to be used. It will also describe how often the catheter to be used. It will also describe how often the catheter and drainage system is to be changed. 5. Be sure there are no kinks in the catheter tubes and drainage tubing. Maintain an unobstructed downward flow at all times unless the catheter is clamped for a procedure (for example, bladder retraining). The collection bag will be placed below the level of the bladder. Never let the tubing or drainage for each resident. Record review of R62's medical record revealed the following diagnoses but not limited to benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract symptoms. The Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] assessed resident for an indwelling urinary catheter and Brief Interview Mental Status (BIMS) score of three which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Record review of Physician Order Form dated February 2024 revealed no order for an indwelling urinary catheter. The MAR for the month of May record, June, and July 2024 revealed no order for an indwelling urinary catheter and no instructions related to care and monitoring for an indwelling urinary catheter. During an observation on 7/10/2024 at 1:20 pm to 3:00 pm, revealed R62 lying in bed. Continued observation revealed indwelling urinary catheter within view from the doorway and the catheter tubing coiled around the frame of the bed causing the potential for prevention of a steady flow of urine drainage. During an interview on 7/11/2024 at 11:45 am with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) LL and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) both staff confirmed that no order was put in place until after being identified during the survey on 7/11/2024. The ADON reported that the MAR was updated at 6:00 pm yesterday (7/10/2024) by her nurse. The ADON stated that she was unable to provide an explanation as to why an order was not written by the resident's physician. ADON reported that when R62 returned from the hospital in February 2024, the resident received an order for an indwelling urinary catheter. She reported that her expectation would have been for the order to be carried over each month. She reported that her licensed nursing staff are responsible for monitoring all orders. ADON reported the likelihood of infection would increase if the catheter was not cleaned and changed. She stated that the February 2024 MAR listed an order urinary output q shift. This was a general statement and not considered as an order related to indwelling urinary catheter care and monitoring. The order should have included indwelling urinary catheter care every shift and as needed, cleaning, and monitor for dislodging.

Based on record review and staff interview and review of the policy titled Medication Monitoring and Management, the facility failed to ensure a stop date for the use of a PRN (as needed) antipsychotic medication (quetiapine) was not over 14 days for one of five residents, (R) R65, reviewed for unnecessary medications. Findings include: Record review of the facility policy titled Medication Monitoring and Management (dated 3/30/2023) stated PRN (as needed) orders for Psychotropic and Antipsychotic Medications.

Record review of R65's medical record revealed the following diagnoses but not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alzheimer 's Disease, unspecified dementia with severe agitations, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atrial fibrillation, major depressive disorder, and open angle glaucoma (blind). Record review of Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] indicated medications that included antipsychotics and antidepressants. Record review of R65's Physician Order Form (POF) documented the following orders: quetiapine 50 milligram (mg) tab 1 tablet by mouth once daily as needed for extreme agitation/ anxiety with a start date 3/6/2024. Record review revealed that medication was last given on 7/1/2024. Interview on 7/11/2024 at 10:00 am with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) OO and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) both staff confirmed the failure to follow up ensure a stop date for quetiapine. LPN OO reported that she made the call to contact the Medical Director this morning after being notified by the ADON to contact the MD about the changes. She reported that the order was called this morning. The ADON verified that she noticed that Seroquel was listed as a PRN meds on yesterday after reviewing the resident record on yesterday afternoon. She instructed the nurse to contact the Medical Director. She reported that at this time the order has not been changed due to waiting for the physician 's response.

Based on observations, interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy titled Maintenance of Indwelling Urinary Catheters, the facility failed to properly perform infection control practices to prevent the possible spread of infections by allowing an indwelling urinary catheter bag to drag on the floor for one of six residents, (R) (R7), with catheters. Findings include: Review of the facilities, undated, Maintenance of Indwelling Urinary Catheters, documented maintaining indwelling catheters promotes good hygiene and reduces the potential for infection. A physician's order and medical reason will be obtained for each resident receiving an indwelling catheter. The record review for R7 revealed diagnosis that included intellectual disability (a delay in the acquisition of skills needed for independent living and social functioning), lap diverting colostomy (used to treat an intestinal injury or a chronic condition) status post peritoneal (a membrane that lines the inside of your abdomen and pelvis) debridement (medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue), and vulva cancer (most common in the labia majora and labia minora). The 4/12/2024 Quarterly MDS documented a BIMS of 12, indicating mildly impaired cognition. On 7/10/2024 at 11:10 am, R7 was observed sitting in her wheelchair at the intersection of halls on wing three with her indwelling urinary catheter drainage tube on the floor, under her feet, as she rocked back and forth. On 7/10/2024 at 1:11 pm, R7 was observed propelling herself, in her wheelchair, up the hall connecting wing three and the main dining room, as her indwelling urinary catheter drainage tubing dragged on the floor under her wheelchair. On 7/10/2024 at 2:38 pm, R7 was observed with indwelling urinary catheter in place and the drainage tubing rested on the floor as she sat in her wheelchair at the intersection of the halls on wing three.
