8207 RETREAT, THE 115675 898 COLLEGE ST MONTICELLO GA 31064 2012-03-29 441 D 0 1 MV1G11 Based on observation, staff interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure that appropriate infection control practices were followed related to medication administration for one (1) resident (#31) from a sample of twenty-eight (28) residents. Findings include: Observation on 3/27/12 at 2:34 p.m. during medication administration for resident #31 revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) BB disconnected the tube feeding and placed the uncovered connector onto the resident's brief while checking placement then reconnected the tubing to the connector. Continued observation revealed that the nurse then prepared the medication and water flushes, disconnected the connector from the feeding tube, allowed the connector to drop onto the resident's brief and the reconnected the feeding tube to the connector after the medication was administered. Interview with LPN BB on 3/27/12 at 11:50 a.m. revealed that the tubing connector should have been covered and not allowed to drop on the resident's brief. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/27/12 at 3:30 p.m. revealed it is poor technique to allow the tubing connector to rest on the resident's brief. 2016-06-01
