Based on observation and staff interview for one (1) of 29 sampled Stage 2 residents, it was determiend the facility staff used an unauthorized blood pressure cuff (one brought from the employee's home) to assess the resident's blood pressure (Resident #169). The findings include: On (MONTH) 20, (YEAR), at approximately 10:00 AM, Employee #5 was observed assessing Resident #169's Blood Pressure (B/P) using a (Store Brand), wrist monitor. No model (name) was discernable on the monitor. Upon completion of the blood pressure assessment, the surveyor asked Employee #5 where he/she had obtained the B/P monitoring device. The employee responded, I brought it from home. The employee further explained the equipment was brought from home and approval had not been given by the facility for its use. There was no evidence the blood pressure monitor used by staff was cleared by the facility's biomedical department/contractor to ensure its accuracy. During a face-to-face interview with Employee #2 at approximately 2:00 PM on (MONTH) 20, (YEAR), the employee stated that employees are not permitted to use personal equipment not approved by the facility. The observation shared with Employee #2 was discussed and acknowledged. |
