The care plans did not contain information about pertinent diagnoses, which required treatment. This is true for four (4) of eleven (11) Stage 2 sample residents. Resident identifiers: #20, #30, #5, and #21. Facility census: 25. Findings include: a) Resident #20 1) Contracture During an observation and interview with Resident #20, on 09/15/15 at 4:30 p.m., his left arm was much smaller than the right and drawn up tightly against his chest, with elbow and wrist bent sharply.

Findings include: a) Resident #5 Medical record review, on 09/16/15 at 1:00 p.m., revealed the [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the medication administration records (MAR) and nurse progress notes from 08/21/15 through 09/16/15, found Tylenol administered by nursing staff prn (as needed) for pain a total of fourteen (14) times. There was no evidence of post-Tylenol pain assessments for thirteen (13) out of those fourteen (14) doses, to see if the pain medication was effective. During an interview with Nurse I #80, on 09/16/15 at 2:00 p.m., she reviewed the MAR and nurse progress notes covering 08/21/15 through 09/16/15. After this review, she verified and agreed there was no evidence of post prn Tylenol pain assessment following the administration of Tylenol for pain. Nurse I #80 said staff used to be better with documentation of the effectiveness of pain medications administered. She noted there was no pop-up on their computer program to remind nurses to go back, assess, and document pain relief following the administration of prn (as needed) pain medications. Rather, with their software program, the nurse has to return to the computer and add another separate entry to document the effectiveness of the prn pain medication.

An opened and partially used multi-dose vial of Lantus insulin for Resident #16, was open for use for greater than the number of days directed by the manufacturer. Use of medication from a multi-dose vial which was open for a time greater than that recommended by the manufacturer, had the potential to negatively affect the safety and/or potency of the medication. This had the potential to affect the only insulin-dependent diabetic who resided in the facility. Resident identifier: #16. Facility census: 25. Findings include: a) Resident #16 Observations of the medication carts on 09/16/15 at 12:00 p.m. revealed one (1) opened and partially used vial of Lantus insulin, which belonged to Resident #16. The date inscribed on the vial was 08/04/15. Licensed practical nurse (LPN) #100 said 08/04/15 was the date the vial was initially opened and used. Information typed on the side of the Lantus insulin box directed staff to discard the vial after twenty-eight (28) days of opening. LPN #100 then disposed of the vial of Lantus insulin, and obtained a fresh, unopened vial of Lantus insulin from the medication room refrigerator. She said the evening shift nurse administers the daily insulin, and would date the new vial this evening when she uses it for the first time. Review of the manufacturer's instructions revealed that Lantus insulin may be used for up to twenty-eight (28) days after the date it was initially opened. During an interview with the director of nursing on 09/16/15 at 5:00 p.m., she said nursing staff informed her today about the Lantus insulin being opened for greater than twenty-eight (28) days. No further information was provided. 2019-01-01

The assessment related to the resident's urinary continence was not accurate. Resident identifier: #9. Facility census: 46. Findings include: a) Resident #9 Resident #9 triggered for a decline in urinary incontinence during the Quality Indicator Survey (QIS). His admission MDS, with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 12/29/14, indicated he was occasionally incontinent under section H0300 Urinary Incontinence. This meant the resident had less than seven (7) incontinent episodes during the look back period. The quarterly MDS, with an ARD of 03/18/15 indicated the resident was now frequently incontinent, which meant he had seven (7) or more incontinent episodes during the look back period, with at least one (1) continent episode. These MDS assessments indicated the resident had a decline in urinary incontinence. On 06/10/15 at 8:45 a.m., MDS Coordinator #67 provided the Nurse Aide (NA)documentation of resident continence during the look back period for the Admission MDS with an ARD of 12/29/14. This was the information she said she used to answer the assessment questions on the 5-day MDS. The information she provided demonstrated the resident was not occasionally incontinent as the admission 5/day assessment indicated. At that time, he was actually always incontinent, with no episodes of continence. The resident did not undergo a decline in continence between the 5/day MDS assessment and the 90/day MDS assessment, but actually had an improvement in urinary continence. Employee #67 agreed, based on the NA documentation of urinary incontinence, the 12/29/14 admission MDS was not accurate for Resident #9. 2019-01-01

An opened multi-dose vial of tuberculin testing serum was not dated to indicate when it was initially opened. In addition, the narcotics lock box, located in the refrigerator in the medication storage room, was not permanently affixed. These practices had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents. Facility census: 57 Findings include: a) An observation of the medication storage room at the Nurses' Station, on 06/22/15 at 11:00 a.m., revealed a ten (10) dose vial of Aplisol Purified Derivative (PPD - test for [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]) which was opened and partially used. The vial was not dated to indicate when it was initially opened. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #47 verified the vial should have been dated when it was opened. She said facility protocol was to date both the vial and the labeled box. LPN #47 disposed of the vial. According to CDC, once a multi-dose vial has been opened or accessed (e.g., needle-punctured) the vial should be dated and discarded within twenty-eight (28) days unless the manufacturer specifies a different (shorter or longer) date for that opened vial. Without a date to indicate when the vial was first opened, staff members could not know when this vial should be discarded. b) On 06/22/15 at 11:15 a.m., a locked narcotics box was observed inside of the refrigerator in the medication storage room. The narcotics box was secured to a removable shelf inside the refrigerator; however, the shelf could be easily removed from the refrigerator. c) On 06/23/15 at 8:40 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was made aware of the opened, undated PPD vial and the unsecured narcotics lock box in the refrigerator. She indicated the facility permanently secured the box to the insi… 2019-01-01

Findings include: a) Resident #81 On 06/24/15 at 9:30 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #41 was observed exiting the room of Resident #81. The LPN then prepared Resident #81's medications for administration without first washing or otherwise sanitizing her hands. Once the medications were prepared, the LPN entered the resident's room and administered the medications to the resident. After administering the medications, the LPN left the resident's room without washing or otherwise sanitizing her hands. She did not wash or sanitize her hands after returning to the medication cart. b) Resident #4 At 9:50 a.m. on 06/24/15, LPN #41 was observed preparing Resident #4's medications for administration. The LPN prepared the medications without first washing or sanitizing her hands. LPN #41 then entered Resident #4's room and administered the medications to the resident. After administering the medications, the LPN left the resident's room without washing or otherwise sanitizing her hands. The LPN did not wash or sanitize her hands after returning to the medication cart. c) On 06/24/15 at 9:55 a.m., upon inquiry, LPN #41 agreed she had not washed or otherwise sanitized her hands at any point during the observation, while preparing and administering medications for two (2) residents. LPN #41 agreed she should have washed or sanitized her hands. The LPN said she would start carrying hand sanitizer with her to ensure she could sanitize her hands if she could not wash them before leaving a resident's room. 2019-01-01

5380 PENDLETON MANOR 515124 68 GOOD SAMARITAN DRIVE FRANKLIN WV 26807 2015-05-22 371 F 0 1 LSP711 Based on observations, interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure sanitary food handling practices to prevent, to the extent possible, the outbreak of foodborne illness. Foods held on the steam table were not held at the minimum temperature which prevented the rapid and progressive growth of illness producing microorganisms (135 degrees Fahrenheit). In addition, personnel serving foods failed to monitor foods for proper temperatures and failed to maintain sanitary food handling practices during meal tray preparation. These practices had the potential to affect all residents who received nourishment from the facility's dietary department. Facility census: 88. Findings include: a) During tray line observation and interview, on 05/20/15 at 11:47 a.m., Dietary Aide (DA) #124 began checking the temperature of the foods on the steam table located in the dining room.

Observation revealed DA #124 did not check the temperature of a small pan of green beans on the large main steam table before she began meal service. She also did not check the temperatures of the food items on the side steam table. The side steam table items included mashed potatoes, hot milk, sweet potatoes, ground pork, and sliced roast beef. When informed of the failure to check the temperature of the green beans, she checked the temperature of the green beans, but still did not check the temperatures of the foods on the side steam table. The DA resumed meal service. DA #124 was then informed of the failure to check food temperature of the items on the side steam table. At 11:56 a.m., she checked the food temperature of the mashed potatoes and hot milk, but did not check the temperatures of the sweet potatoes, ground pork, and sliced roast beef. DA #124 then continued with meal service. Again DA #124 was informed she had not checked the temperatures of every food item on the side steam table.
