- Failure to Provide Safe and Appropriate Respiratory Care for a Resident When Needed – citation #F695 date April 19, 2018
- Failure to Develop Programs That Investigate, Control and Keep Infections from Spreading – citation #F441 date March 2, 2017
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure [a resident’s] oxygen was infusing at 2.0 L per minute as ordered by the Physician.” A review of the facility’s policy titled: Oxygen Administration reveals that “oxygen should be administered under order of the attending Physician.”
The resident’s documentation shows that the doctor had prescribed oxygen delivery at 2.0 L per minute via nasal cannula due to shortness of breath. The state surveyors observed the resident “in bed with oxygen continuing to infuse at 2.5 L per minute via nasal cannula” at 5:00 PM on April 18, 2018.
The following morning at 10:18 AM, the surveyors interviewed a Registered Nurse (RN)/Unit Manager and informed the nurse of the observation of the resident receiving 2.5 L per minute of infusing oxygen over the last two days. The Registered Nurse verified that the resident should be receiving oxygen at 2.0 L per minute and asked the RN what was the harm in not following the Physician’s order? The RN replied that “it was not what the Physician wanted.” The RN confirmed that the resident was receiving oxygen due to “shortness of breath.”
The facility “failed to ensure a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) sanitized his hands after picking up a bottle of hand sanitizer from the floor and before opening a carton of milkshake and giving it to [a resident] during the breakfast meal.”
Additionally, the nursing home failed to ensure that “a licensed staff turned off a faucet with the paper towel instead of their hands, forearms, or elbows for [another two residents].” The nursing home also failed to “ensure that licensed staff disposed of a soiled gauze dressing from the wound of [one of the two residents listed above] into the proper receptacle; and licensed staff did not remove clean items from the treatment cart with her wet hands during the provision of wound care for [the first resident].”
A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who serves as the facility’s Infection Control Nurse verified that “a staff touched and contaminated a dirty item” and Cross-contamination could occur. The Infection Control Nurse verified that the staff “should wash or sanitize her hands before touching clean items.”
