On 02/18/25 at 12:53 PM, Surveyor observed another CNA enter Resident R13's room to assist CNA C with transfer of Resident R13.

On 02/18/25 at 1:00 PM, Surveyor interviewed CNA C regarding observation. Surveyor asked CNA C why Resident R13 was left unattended in his room while attached to the mechanical lift. CNA C stated she was waiting for her partner to assist with Resident R13's transfer because he is a two person assist. Surveyor asked CNA C if this was

a common practice for residents to be left unattended while connected to lift equipment. CNA C stated no.

F 0689 On 02/19/25 at 11:27 AM, Surveyor interviewed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) G and asked LPN G what is LPN G's process when there is an altercation between a resident to resident or if there is an incident that Level of Harm - Minimal harm or happens with a resident that may need extra supervision. LPN G indicated LPN G will intervene if LPN G potential for actual harm observes the resident-to-resident altercation. LPN G would try to redirect Resident R35 or any other resident who is aggressive and acting out. Surveyor asked LPN G if LPN G does any kind of extra supervision for Resident R35's Residents Affected - Few outbursts. LPN G indicated that LPN G will try to observe from afar while in the common area. Surveyor asked LPN G how LPN G intervenes if Resident R35 is from afar in the common area and Resident R35 is about to swing at another resident. LPN G indicated that LPN G tries to make sure Resident R35 is within close proximity but that is not always feasible when LPN G has to go into other rooms to pass medications.

On 02/20/25 at 8:02 AM, Surveyor interviewed Director of Nursing (DON) B and asked what interventions for increased supervsion are in place for Resident R35 due to his aggressive behaviors towards staff and residents.

DON B indicated that sometimes staff will keep a close eye on Resident R35 in the common area and kind of perform

a 1:1. Surveyor asked DON B to explain what 1:1 means. DON B indicated that 1:1 means there is an actual staff member designated to 1:1 with Resident R35 and staff do not let Resident R35 out of sight. Surveyor asked DON B if 1:1 was utilized on 06/22/24, 09/16/24, 01/10/25, and 01/28/25. DON B indicated that DON B was unsure, but that DON B doubts it since some of these events occurred. Surveyor indicated to DON B that through review of documentation that Surveyor could not find that Resident R35 was 1:1. DON B indicated that Resident R35 was probably not 1:1 as we do not have enough staff to be 1:1 at this time. DON B acknowledged that increased supervision was not provided for Resident R35 to prevent incidents with other residents.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 51095 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility did not ensure a medication error rate of 5% Residents Affected - Few or less. During the medication administration task, Surveyors observed 4 errors out of 35 medication opportunities, resulting in an error rate of 11.4%. This affected 2 out of 4 residents (R) observed for medication administration sample. (Resident R11 and Resident R39)

Resident R11 received two insulin injections by using injectable pens that were not primed before administration.

Resident R39's insulin was not primed prior to administration of insulin.

Findings include:

Manufacturer's instructions for Basaglar Kwikpen (insulin glargine) states in part, .Priming your pen: Priming means removing the air from the Needle and Cartridge that may collect during normal use. It is important to prime your Pen before each injection so that it will work correctly. If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin.

Step 6: To prime your Pen, turn the Dose Knob to select 2 units.

Step 7: Hold your Pen with the Needle pointing up. Tap the Cartridge Holder gently to collect air bubbles at

the top.

Step 8: Continue holding your Pen with Needle pointing up. Push the Dose Knob in until it stops, and 0 is seen in the Dose Window. Hold the Dose Knob in and count to 5 slowly. You should see insulin at the tip of

the Needle. If you do not see insulin, repeat the priming steps, but not more than 4 times. If you still do not see insulin, change the Needle and repeat the priming steps .

The facility procedure document entitled Insulin Injection, procedure reviewed date 2/25, states, in part,

9. If using an insulin pen, cleanse hub, apply needle, then prime pen with 2 units (dial 2 units\, hold pen upright, flick to bring air bubbles to top, push button all the way until dose returns to zero- you should see drop of insulin at needle tip\, if not change needle and repeat) Turn dial until desired dose.

Resident R11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with a diagnosis including type 2 diabetes mellitus. Resident R11 orders include, Insulin Aspart 100 unit/ML solution, Dose 12 units subcutaneously twice per day AM and noon and (Basaglar Kwik-pen) Insulin Glargine 100units/ml, Dose 18 units subcutaneously daily in the AM.

Resident R11 received two insulin injections via injectable pens that were not primed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) J before administration of insulin dose.

F 0759 On 2/18/25 at 7:32 AM, Surveyor observed LPN J remove 2 insulin pens from the med drawer. LPN J dialed

the Glargin pen (Basaglar 100units/ml) to 18units and the Aspart pen to 12 units without priming the pens Level of Harm - Minimal harm or first. Surveyor asked if the insulin pens needed to be primed. LPN J stated these insulin pens did not need to potential for actual harm be primed. Surveyor observed LPN J administer the insulins subcutaneously into Resident R11'S abdomen.

Residents Affected - Few On 2/18/25 at approximately 8:30 AM, Surveyor interviewed Director of Nursing (DON) B on the type of education and training that has been provided to nursing staff. DON B reported there had been a training on how to use an insulin pen in Dec. 2022. DON B reported her expectation would be that nursing staff prime

the insulin pen prior to injecting a resident with insulin. DON B reported awareness of LPN J not understanding the need to prime insulin pens prior to injecting insulin.

On 02/18/25 at 8:00 AM, Surveyor observed LPN G administer a Humalog insulin pen into Resident R39's abdomen. Surveyor did not observe an open date or expiration date label on the used Humalog pen. Surveyor did not observe LPN G prime the Humalog insulin pen with 2 units before prepping 6 units into the insulin pen.

On 02/18/25 at 8:05 AM, Surveyor interviewed LPN G and asked what LPN G's process is for priming and administering insulin. LPN G indicated that LPN G forgot to prime and should have primed the Humalog insulin pen with 2 units and discard the 2 units first before prepping the 6 units for Resident R39's Humalog insulin.

This had the potential to affect 2 out of 2 residents (R) for proper labeling. (Resident R29 and Resident R39)

This is evidenced by:

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), insulin pens should be discarded 28 days after opening the pen to ensure effectiveness of the medication.

According to the American Diabetes Association, insulin products contained in vials or cartridges supplied by

the manufacturers (opened or unopened) may be left unrefrigerated at a temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F for up to 28 days and continue to work. After 28 days the insulin should be discarded.

On 3/29/21, Resident R29 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis including type 2 diabetes mellitus. Resident R29's orders included Tresiba FlexTouch/ Insulin Deglu[DATE REDACTED]u/ml Solution Pen-injector Dose 45 unit subcutaneous twice per day.

On 2/19/25 at 10:25 AM, during a tour of medication storage, with Registered Nurse (RN) K, Surveyor observed Resident R29's insulin pen, Tresiba FlexTouch 100u/ml exp 8/31/26, pharmacy label reads, 45 units SQ BID, opened, not refrigerated, and not labeled with an opened date, in the drawer of the medication cart.

Surveyor interviewed RN K, who reports she forgot to date it when it was originally opened. RN verbalized understanding that insulin pens should be labeled with an opened-on date when they are taken out of the refrigerator and used within 28 days.

On 02/18/25 at 8:05 AM, Surveyor interviewed LPN G and asked what LPN G's process is for administering insulin without an open date. LPN G stated, That is a good question. I guess I would figure out when the pen was opened before giving to [Resident R39]. Surveyor asked LPN G was it the correct process to still give the Humalog insulin without an open date to Resident R39. LPN G indicated that LPN G probably should have discarded

the Humalog insulin and got another one, but LPN G did not.

-Facility staff failed to transport linens in a manner to prevent the spread of infection.

-Facility staff did not properly doff personal protective equipment (PPE) for a resident on enhanced barrier precautions (EBP).

-Facility staff demonstrated poor hand hygiene during medication administration.

-Facility staff did not prep skin prior to administering a subcutaneous injection of insulin.

This is evidenced by:

Example 1

Federal Regulation S483.80(e) Linens state, Personnel must handle, store, process, and transport linens so as to prevent the spread of infection.

On 02/17/25 at 10:02 AM, Surveyor observed Nursing Support Aide (NSA) N passing clean linens in the hallway without the clean linen cart being covered. Surveyor asked NSA N if it is normal practice to pass out personal clean linen without them being covered. NSA N stated, Yes. I have not seen the carts covered in a long time.

On 02/18/25 at 11:00 AM, Surveyor observed NSA N again passing out clean personal linens on a cart in the hallway without a cover.

On 02/18/25 at 1:19 PM, Surveyor interviewed Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) A who stated the towels and bedding linens are sent out and covered all the time. Personal linens are done on each wing on PM and night shifts. They are then put on the carts and in the morning, the aides deliver them to the residents' rooms. NHA agreed that all clean linens should be covered, and NHA A will ensure personal linens are covered as well. NHA added that it probably slipped by us when we changed from sending out all linens to be cleaned, to the facility doing the personal clothing in house.

On 02/18/25 at 1:59 PM, Surveyor interviewed Infection Control (IC) P nurse. IC P brought Surveyor to the laundry area and stated the clean linen carts are supposed to be covered. IC P retrieved a cover and placed

it on the cart.

4. Position a trash can inside the resident room and near the exit for discarding PPE after removal (garbage and PPE removal bins in cupboard outside room), prior to exit of the room .

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for removal of PPE with EBP precautions states in part:

Facilities should remember to have an appropriate disposal container available in the resident room to allow for removal of PPE inside the room.

On 02/18/25 at 7:00 AM, Surveyor observed an Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP) sign on Resident R2's door. The EBP sign indicated the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) of a gown and gloves be used when providing direct care for the resident. The PPE was stored just outside of Resident R2's room behind closed doors. Underneath the PPE storage area was a separate compartment with a sign that stated 'Garbage.'

On 02/18/25 at 9:02 AM, Surveyor observed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) C don a gown, gloves, and goggles and enter Resident R2's room to assist Resident R2 with toileting.

On 02/18/25 at 9:10 AM, Surveyor observed CNA C exit Resident R2's room wearing the gown, gloves and goggles. Surveyor observed CNA C open the garbage compartment outside of Resident R2's room, remove and dispose of all

the PPE she was wearing in garbage, and close garbage compartment door. Surveyor then observed CNA C complete hand hygiene.

On 02/18/25 at 9:12 AM, Surveyor interviewed CNA C. Surveyor asked CNA C if it is common practice to remove PPE outside of resident room. CNA C stated yes because that is where the garbage is located.

On 02/19/25 at 12:41 PM, Surveyor interviewed Director of Nursing (DON) B regarding EBP. Surveyor asked DON B what the expectation is for staff to don/doff PPE with EBP. DON B stated that staff are expected to don PPE before entering a resident's room and remove PPE just outside of resident's room. Surveyor asked DON B if this expectation met the facility's and current CDC guidelines. DON B stated that she felt this was acceptable as it is just outside of the room. Surveyor asked DON B if just outside the resident room was the same as the facility's policy of before exiting the resident's room. DON B then reluctantly stated that it did not. Surveyor asked DON B if this practice had the potential to transmit infection by staff touching equipment outside of room while wearing the contaminated PPE after providing direct care. DON B stated yes, she could see how that could be a potential concern.
