9997	GOLDEN LIVINGCENTER - RIVERSIDE	515035	6500 MACCORKLE AVENUE SW	SAINT ALBANS	WV	25177	2012-03-16	441	E	1	0	NOP711	. Based on review of infection control records and observations, the facility failed to maintain an infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary environment to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection. The facility failed to maintain the facility crash cart in a sanitary manner; failed to administer eye drops utilizing aseptic technique for one (1) of seven (7) sampled residents; and failed to ensure ice was passed to residents in a manner which prevented cross contamination. These practices had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents in the facility. Resident identifier: #19. Facility census: 89. Findings include: a) On 03/14/12, a review of infection control records found the facility was under quarantine due to an outbreak of diarrhea in the resident population. Communal dining, activities, and therapy were suspended to help curtail the spread of the disease. Random observations, conducted with the assistant director of nursing (ADON), Employee #61, noted nursing assistants (NAs) passing ice to residents at 11:15 a.m. on 03/14/12. The NAs entered each resident's room, removed the water pitcher, carried it to the ice chest in the hallway, held the pitcher above the ice, and scooped ice into the pitcher. This practice allowed any contaminates present on the outside of the pitcher to fall into the ice chest and potentially spread the disease for which the facility was under quarantine. b) Resident #19 During random observations of the resident environment, on 03/14/12 at 11:15 a.m., with the ADON, Employee #61, in attendance, Employee #36 (a nurse), removed a box of eye drops from her medication cart for administration to Resident #19. Employee #36 entered the resident's room and put on gloves without first washing or sanitizing her hands. With gloved hands, she touched the outside box of the eye drops and touched the tissue box on the resident's nightstand. She then touched the resident's upper and lower eyelids with her contaminated gloves to administer one (1) drop of medication to the resident's left eye. The resident wiped her eye with a tissue and placed it on the bedside table. The nurse removed her gloves, picked up the contaminated tissue with her bare hands and discarded it in the trash can. She then placed the eye drop bottle back into the box, touched the handles of the roommate's wheelchair, and placed the eye drop box on the sink while she washed her hands. The ADON intervened and instructed the nurse to discard the contaminated box of eye drops. c) During an inventory of the contents of the crash cart, on 03/14/12 at 3:30 p.m., with the ADON, Employee #61, observation revealed the outside drawers which contained emergency equipment, as well as the handles of the drawers, were heavily soiled. .	2015-07-01
