Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Lafayette Nursing And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to ensure the accuracy of an MDS assessment for a resident, indicating anticoagulant medication use without corresponding physician orders. The MDS Coordinator confirmed the inaccuracy, which contradicted the facility's policy requiring accurate documentation of medical issues.
A resident receiving IV medication did not have their PICC line checked for patency by aspiration before medication administration, contrary to facility policy. An LPN failed to follow the protocol, which was confirmed by the DON and outlined in the facility's procedures.
The facility failed to administer oxygen therapy as prescribed for three residents. One resident received 5 L/M instead of the ordered 2 L/M, another received 2 L/M instead of 4 L/M, and a third received 3 L/M instead of the ordered 2 L/M. Staff confirmed the discrepancies, and the DON emphasized the need to follow physician orders.
The facility did not ensure food was served at safe temperatures during breakfast service. Observations revealed a sausage patty at 130°F, below the required 135°F, and yogurt at 47.8°F, above the 41°F limit. The Dietary Manager confirmed these discrepancies, acknowledging non-compliance with facility policies.
Staff at the facility failed to sanitize resident-care equipment between uses, risking the transmission of infections. An LPN did not clean a blood pressure cuff after using it on two residents, and an RN neglected to sanitize an oxygen saturation probe. Both staff members acknowledged their oversights. The facility's policy requires cleaning and disinfecting equipment between uses, as confirmed by the RN Consultant and DON.
The facility did not post daily nurse staffing information as required. An observation revealed that the staffing form was outdated, showing a date two days prior. The Administrator admitted delays in posting, especially on Mondays, due to balancing staffing for multiple days. The facility's policy requires daily morning postings to ensure information is accessible to residents and visitors.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment for Anticoagulant Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a resident reviewed for unnecessary medications. The resident's Medicare Admission 5-day MDS indicated that the resident was receiving anticoagulant medication, as noted in Section N - Medications. However, a review of the resident's physician orders revealed no current or previous orders for anticoagulant medication. During an interview, the MDS Coordinator acknowledged that the MDS was inaccurate. The facility's policy on conducting accurate resident assessments requires that a qualified health professional correctly document the resident's medical, functional, and psychosocial problems, which was not adhered to in this case.
Failure to Follow IV Therapy Protocols
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received intravenous therapy in accordance with professional standards of practice. Resident #55, who was admitted with diagnoses including surgical aftercare and infection due to an internal fixation device, was prescribed Cefepime HCl Injection Solution to be administered intravenously. During an observation, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) prepared the resident's Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) for the administration of the medication but did not check the patency of the line by aspirating for blood return before flushing or administering the medication. The LPN stated that it was not necessary to aspirate prior to flushing or administering intravenous medication, which contradicted the facility's policy. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility's policy required checking the patency of the PICC line by aspiration of blood before flushing and administering medication. The facility's policy and procedure documents also outlined the requirement to confirm the patency of vascular devices as per protocol, which was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Administer Oxygen Therapy as Prescribed
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents received oxygen therapy as prescribed by their physicians, affecting three residents. Resident #31 was observed receiving oxygen at 5 liters per minute, despite a physician's order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute as needed for oxygen saturation below 90%. The resident confirmed they were unaware of the oxygen setting, and a registered nurse acknowledged the discrepancy, confirming the oxygen should be set according to the physician's order. Similarly, Resident #5 was observed receiving oxygen at 2 liters per minute, contrary to the physician's order for 4 liters per minute to maintain oxygen saturation above 90%. A licensed practical nurse confirmed the resident should be receiving 4 liters per minute, and the Director of Nursing stated that orders should be followed even if they are as needed. Resident #44 was observed receiving oxygen at 3 liters per minute, while the physician's order specified 2 liters per minute as needed to maintain oxygen saturation above 92%. The resident indicated they only used oxygen while lying down, and a certified nursing assistant stated they informed the nurse when the resident needed oxygen. A licensed practical nurse mentioned they would document if the resident's oxygen saturation fell below 92% and would administer oxygen accordingly. The Director of Nursing emphasized that oxygen settings should be adjusted by nurses in accordance with physician orders. The facility's policy on oxygen administration and physician medication/treatment orders requires adherence to physician orders, which was not followed in these cases.
Failure to Serve Food at Safe Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents received food at a safe and appetizing temperature during meal service. During an observation of the breakfast tray line, it was noted that the temperature of a sausage patty was 130 degrees Fahrenheit, which is below the required 135 degrees Fahrenheit for hot foods. Additionally, a 4-ounce strawberry yogurt was recorded at 47.8 degrees Fahrenheit, exceeding the maximum allowable temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit for cold foods. The Dietary Manager confirmed these temperature discrepancies and acknowledged that the temperatures did not meet the facility's policy and procedure standards, which are aligned with state and US Food Codes and HACCP guidelines.
Failure to Sanitize Resident-Care Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper sanitization of resident-care equipment between uses, leading to potential transmission of communicable diseases and infections. During an observation, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was seen taking a blood pressure reading for one resident and placing the blood pressure cuff back on the medication cart without sanitizing it. The LPN then used the same cuff on another resident without cleaning it. In an interview, the LPN acknowledged the oversight, stating that the cuffs were cloth and should have been wiped down with a sanitizer cloth after each use. Additionally, a Registered Nurse (RN) was observed using an oxygen saturation finger probe on a resident and returning it to the medication cart without sanitizing it. The RN admitted to forgetting the need to clean the probe before and after each use. The facility's policy, which aligns with CDC recommendations, requires that reusable resident-care equipment be cleaned and disinfected between uses to prevent indirect transmission of pathogens. Interviews with the Registered Nurse Consultant and the Director of Nursing confirmed the necessity of cleaning such equipment with sanitary wipes and following the appropriate dwell time as per the product instructions.
Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse staffing information was posted daily as required. During an observation on October 21, 2024, at 9:15 AM, it was noted that the Daily Nursing Staffing Form displayed in the main entry hall was outdated, showing the date as October 19, 2024, instead of the current date. In an interview on October 24, 2024, the Administrator acknowledged the delay in posting the staffing sheet, stating that it is typically posted by 11:00 AM, but Mondays can take longer due to balancing staffing for three days. The facility's policy, last reviewed on December 29, 2023, mandates that the Nurse Staffing Sheet be posted daily each morning to ensure information is readily available to residents and visitors.
