According to state investigators, “the facility failed to ensure infection control practices were implemented [before] administering eye drop medication.” The investigation involved in Registered Nurse (RN) who “did not wash her hands and don clean gloves [before administering eyedrops to a resident].”
During an interview with the Registered Nurse, it was verified that “she did not wash her hands or wear gloves [before] administering eye drops.” Actions of the Registered Nurse failed to follow the facility’s policy titled: Medication Administration Eye Drops.
The nursing facility “failed to notify a resident or resident’s representatives about changes.” In one incident, the facility “failed to notify [a resident] of medication changes in failed to notify [the resident’s] representative of an incident of verbal abuse.”
The survey team interviewed the Director of Nursing who documented that “the resident had no orders for lab work and [her antidepressant medication] was discontinued related to a gradual dose reduction.” However, during an interview with the resident, it was revealed that “she was never told by any staff or the doctor that they discontinued her antidepressant” medication saying that “she needed the medication and it helped her sleep.” The resident also said that “she kept telling the nurse and the evening she was not getting her [medication].”
The resident stated that “the nurse finally told her it had been discontinued. The resident stated they should have told her or asked her if she still needed it before they discontinued [it].” The surveyors interviewed, and Social Worker who confirmed that “the resident was not notified of her medication being discontinued [and] confirmed the resident was alert and oriented and was her own responsible party.”
In a separate incident, a second resident “reported a concern involving a State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA)” indicating that the STNA cursed at the resident and “use derogatory comments toward [the resident].”
The second resident indicated that the STNA yelled at her “like she was a dog.” The facility terminated the STNA and “the facility substantiated the Self-Reported Incident.” The Director of Nursing verified that she had spoken with the STNA who verified “almost word for word what [the resident] had reported had happened.”
