When asked about the use of the wipes in the purple top container, LPN #4 stated that they were used to clean equipment and that she did not use them to clean glucometers. Further review revealed that on 3/12/12, the facility had an in-service on glucometers which included cleaning the meters with chlorine wipes. LPN #4 is a PRN (as needed) nurse and review of the IN-SERVICE ATTENDANCE RECORD SIGNATURE SHEET revealed that she was not present for the in-service. |
