competencies necessary for resident safety.

This deficient practice has the potential for harm.

Findings include: On 08/14/24 at 09:00 AM, while waiting to check a medication cart on Unit 4, observed Registered Nurse (RN)10 dispose of a medication tablet in the trash bin (unlocked, unsecure) located on the side of the medication cart.

The medication landed on the top of other trash which was visible and accessible to anyone passing the medication cart.

Inquired if it was okay to dispose of the medication tablet in the trash bin at the side of the medication cart which was unsecured and unable to be locked. RN10 stated she would have to check on how she was supposed to dispose of that medication. RN10 confirmed she disposed of a tablet of Aspirin 81 mg (milligrams) on the side of the medication cart and remained unsure of how to properly dispose of the medication. As RN10 and this surveyor were discussing RN10 disposing of the medication in an unsecure/unlocked trash bin, and the potential opportunity for a resident to retrieve the medication from the cart, Resident (R)140 independently and unsupervised, wheeled himself past the medication cart with the Aspirin 81 mg tablet exposed.

On 08/15/24 at 12:20 PM, conducted an interview with Unit Manager (UM)8 and informed her of an observation of staff disposing a tablet of Aspirin 81 mg in the trash bin on the medication cart.

Findings include: 1) On 08/13/24 at 10:55 AM, conducted observations of daily staff posting at the entrance of the building and on all four (4) units.

Near the entrance of the building, after the screener's station, Daily Staff Posting is posted on a bulletin board along with the employee clock in/out system, a Stay up to Date with your Covid Vaccine poster, Cover your Cough poster, August 2024 Employee Calendar, Mandatory CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) Meeting, and a list of employees who need to see the Director of Nursing (DON) prior to starting the shift.

The 24-hour-Daily Staff Posting form was printed on what appeared to be an 11-inch (in) x 13 in paper.

The print was small, and this surveyor was unable to clearly read the form until standing approximately two (2) feet away from the form.

There was no larger sign clearly indicating the form was the 24-Hour-Daily Staff Posting. A visitor approached the main exit doors and this surveyor inquired if she knew where the daily staff posting was located.

The visitor confirmed she did not know where it was despite standing approximately 3-4 feet away from the posted form.

On each of the four units, the names of the staff working are written on a dry erase board which is set in the back of the nurses' station, over 10 feet from the entrance to the nurses' station.

The entrance of the nurses' station is noted by a high counter/desktop, which is where any resident or visitor would be stopped prior to entering the nurses' station.

The dry erase board was difficult to identify the location the units were listing, or the individual staffing census.

On 08/14/24 at approximately 02:10 PM, inquired with the Director of nursing where the daily staffing information was posted. DON confirmed daily staffing is written on the whiteboards on each unit and at the entrance of the building.

Informed DON on initial observation, the listing was not identifiable or highly visible when entering into the building due to the form being posted on the employee notification board, it appears like information for staff.

On 08/15/24 at 11:37 AM, observed Resident (R)315 and multiple family members (FM), walk past the nursing station at a slow rate, then into the resident's room.

Inquired with FM99, who was a young adult male (25-[AGE] years old), confirmed he does not need or use glasses and has great eyesight, if he was aware where the daily staffing was posted for the unit and for the facility. FM99 confirmed he has never seen any daily staffing form or information, and stated, Nope, I don't know where it is, and staff never told me where it was at.

At 11:40 AM, inquired with R138's FM if she knew where the facility's daily staffing information for R138's unit and for the entire facility was located. FM confirmed she did not know where that information was and has never seen the form. 2) On 08/12/24 at 08:24 AM, during an initial observation of Unit 3, the daily nursing staffing posting with total number and actual hours worked per shift for nursing staff responsible for resident care was not found.

The medication cart she was using was unlocked and RN24 was accessing the medications contained in the medication cart.

A review of the facility's document titled, Controlled Item Checklist, dated August, was conducted on 08/14/24 at 07:49 AM.

The sheet did not contain the outgoing night shift nurse and the incoming day shift nurses' signatures for August 14, 2024, in the 07:00 AM boxes. RN24 was informed of the missing signatures. RN24 stated that it should have been signed earlier with the outgoing night shift nurse.

On 08/14/24 at 07:57 AM, RN24 and RN20 were both observed signing the facility's, Controlled Item Checklist, form.

Interview was conducted with RN20 on 08/14/24 at approximately 08:20 AM. RN20 stated that she was the only nurse on the unit on night shift and after performing the narcotic count with RN24, she did not sign off on the controlled item sheet.

Instead, RN20 stated that she did her final rounds and used the restroom.

She didn't want RN24 to wait on her to start her morning medication administration, so she handed off the medication cart prior to signing the narcotic count sheet. RN20 confirmed that the normal process is to count the narcotics and once verified, the outgoing and incoming nurses sign the sheet.

Observation and interview with R126 in his room on 08/12/24 at 09:04 AM. R126 was in his bed on his back with the head of bed up 45 degrees. R126 said that he used to walk pretty well before but now I'm in bed all the time.

The surveyor asked R126 if he is able to get the help he needs from the staff? R126 said, I have a sore on my back that's infected and pretty deep. I'm supposed to be turned every two hours but there isn't always enough staff available. It takes two Certified Nurse Aides (CNA)'s to do it, and one CNA can't do it by themself. I take antibiotics because I have an infected sore. I wish I could turn or get a pillow.

When they came in to change the bed, they moved the extra pillows and I didn't get them back, they must be in short supply.

Record Review (RR) of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) annual review 07/09/24. R126 is cognitively intact.

Dependent on staff for toileting, bathing and dressing and requires partial to moderate assistance to roll left and right and dependent on staff for bed to chair transfer. R126 has a stage four pressure ulcer present on admission.

Were these violations corrected?
Facilities must submit plans of correction and implement changes within required timeframes. CMS conducts follow-up inspections to verify corrections. Check the inspection report for specific correction dates and follow-up verification status.
How often do nursing home inspections happen?
CMS conducts unannounced inspections of all Medicare/Medicaid-certified nursing homes at least once per year. Additional inspections may occur based on complaints, facility-reported incidents, or follow-up to verify previous violations were corrected.
What should families do about these violations?
Families should: (1) Review the full inspection report for details, (2) Ask facility administration about specific corrective actions taken, (3) Check if this represents a pattern by reviewing prior inspections, (4) Compare with other facilities in HONOLULU, HI, (5) Report new concerns to state authorities.

The findings reflect what state surveyors documented in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies on the date of the inspection.

Plan of correction not included: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken by the facility are encouraged to contact the facility or their state survey agency directly.

Corrections may have been made: This report reflects conditions observed on the date of the survey. The facility may have implemented staffing changes, additional training, policy revisions, or other corrective actions since this report was issued. We publish what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
