Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/19/2025 at 3:00 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), Residents 16 and 41 clinical records, were reviewed. The DON stated Residents 16 and 41 were both on lorazepam PRN for anxiety with no duration (extent) of therapy. The DON stated all PRN psychotropic medication should have a stop date. The DON stated the physician should assess and reevaluate the continued use of the lorazepam to comply with the regulation. The DON stated the provider should have documentation indicating the justification for extending the use of lorazepam after 14 days. The DON stated the risk of not putting a stop date for a PRN psychotropic medication could result in a resident receiving unnecessary medication.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Psychotropic Medication Use, dated 7/2022, the P&P indicated, for psychotropic medications that are not antipsychotic, if the prescriber or attending physician believed it was appropriate to extend the PRN order beyond 14 days, the physician should document the rationale for extending the use and include the duration for the PRN order.

Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure:
1. Kitchen refrigerator 1 had an external thermometer (an appliance to monitor the temperature of a refrigerator) in working condition.
2. The large clear egg noodle pasta bin in the dry storage area was labeled with name and date.
3. Kitchen refrigerator 2 had proper internal temperature (40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) maintained for the refrigerated food items.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause rapid growth of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness (food poisoning).
Findings:
1). During the initial kitchen tour observation, on [DATE REDACTED], at 8:27 a.m., the external thermometer of refrigerator 1 was observed counting upwards in seconds and minutes starting from zero and the internal thermometer of refrigerator 2 was observed at 42 degrees Fahrenheit.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on [DATE REDACTED], at 8:30 a.m., with the Dietary Aide 1 (DA 1), DA 1 stated he did not know why the external thermometer of refrigerator 1 was counting upwards or if it had malfunctioned. DA 1 stated the risk of having a malfunctioned external thermometer on a refrigerator could result in spoiled food.
2). During a concurrent observation and interview, on [DATE REDACTED], at 8:55 a.m., with the Dietary [NAME] (DC),
the DC stated the large, clear container contained uncooked egg noodle pasta and was not labeled with name and date. The DC stated the risk of not labeling food in the dry storage container could result in not knowing what food contents are in the bin and until when it was good for.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on [DATE REDACTED], at 9:48 a.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated the refrigerator 2's internal temperature was 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The DS stated the internal temperatures for refrigerators should be 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The DS stated the risk of a refrigerator with internal temperature of 42 degrees could result in expired food.
During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P), titled Refrigerator/Freezer Storage, the P&P indicated, if temperatures are not within appropriate range, the dietary staff should notify the dietary supervisor and/or Maintenance Supervisor and Administrator. The P&P indicated the refrigerator temperature should be 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Storage of canned and Dry Goods, the P&P indicated, food items should be dated and labeled when placed in containers.

This deficient practice placed Resident 105 at risk for respiratory infection (an infection affecting the nose, throat, sinuses, airways, and lungs).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 105's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated Resident 105 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and was readmitted on [DATE REDACTED].

the MDS indicated Resident 105's cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make decisions) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 105 was dependent on staff for showering, dressing, and from lying to sitting in chair. The MDS indicated Resident 105 required respiratory treatment with oxygen therapy (providing a patient with supplemental oxygen, which is extra oxygen beyond what they can breathe from the air).
During an observation on 3/18/2025 at 10:34 a.m. in Resident 1's room, there was a humidifier attached to
the oxygen concentrator (a medical device that extracts and concentrates oxygen from air, delivering a higher concentration of oxygen to the patient) that was not dated or labeled.
During an interview on 3/19/2025 at 12:07 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated the humidifier with no date labeled, could not be identified if the humidifier was changed. LVN 2 stated the humidifier should have been changed weekly. LVN 2 stated if the humidifier was not changed weekly, it placed the resident at risk for developing a respiratory infection.
During a review of facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, the P&P indicated the oxygen humidifier should be changed weekly and as needed.
