11079	NICHOLAS COUNTY NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER	515190	18 FOURTH STREET	RICHWOOD	WV	26261	2009-06-04	323	E	0	1	CKVD11	Based on observations and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment was as free of accident hazards as possible. White metal covers were covered with rugs but protruded above the level of the surrounding floor, creating trip hazards. A nurse left a medication cart unlocked in the hall in the presence of mobile residents. A bottle containing corrosive disinfectant (Quat-256) was found in an unlocked storage room on the West wing. These deficient practices had the potential to affect all independently mobile residents. Facility census: 89. Findings include: a) During the survey, observations found trip hazards in the entry hall and the 800 hall of the West wing. White metal covers on the floors protruded above the level of the surrounding tile floor. These were covered with rugs. A survey team member reported she had tripped over the one in the hall near the entry of the facility. b) On 06/02/09 at 12:56 p.m., the nurse (Employee #53) left a medication cart unlocked when she went to the bathroom. Although the cart was in the hall outside of the nursing station, staff at the nursing station were occupied and not watching the cart (and had not been asked to watch). The surveyor was able to open any drawer on the cart. In an interview at approximately 1:30 p.m. on 06/04/09, the director of nursing was informed. She state the nurse knew better than to leave the med cart unlocked. c) During the initial tour of the West wing, storage areas were found to be locked with the exception of one (1). The storage area contained grooming supplies and other items. On a shelf, approximately three (3) feet off of the floor and directly across from the door to the room, was a spray bottle of disinfectant (Quat-256). The label on the bottle included, "Danger Corrosive - Causes eye damage and severe skin irritation. Harmful if swallowed." .	2014-09-01
