Failure to Properly Label and Store Ophthalmic Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that ophthalmic medications were labeled, dated, and stored properly to maintain their efficacy and prevent potential infections. During an inspection of the Unit 3 Medication Cart, multiple boxes containing eye medications were found with handwritten dates ranging from November 2023 to January 2024. Specifically, bottles of Artificial Tears for several residents were labeled with dates indicating they had been opened for more than four weeks, and a bottle of Timolol 0.5% ophthalmic solution was not labeled with the date it was opened. Nurse #5, who was present during the inspection, was unaware of the recommended discard period for these medications and the associated risk of infection when used past their expiration date after opening. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged the concern regarding the potential for infection from using eye drops beyond the recommended four-week period after opening. The facility's policy required staff to enter the date opened on the label of medications with shortened expiration dates, but this was not adhered to in this instance. The manufacturer's instructions for both Tears Naturale and Timolol 0.5% ophthalmic solution indicated that the medications should be discarded four weeks after opening to prevent infections, a guideline that was not followed, leading to the deficiency noted in the report.
Failure to Ensure Safe Temperature of Hot Beverages
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure hot beverages were served at a safe temperature, resulting in a burn injury to a resident. Resident #24, who had dementia, dysphagia, and muscle weakness, was unable to complete the Brief Interview for Mental Status and required set-up assistance for eating and drinking. On 2/2/24, the resident requested a cup of coffee from a CNA, who brewed the coffee using a single-serve hot beverage brewing system in the staff break room. The CNA did not measure the temperature of the coffee before serving it to the resident, who subsequently spilled the hot coffee on themselves, causing a burn on their abdomen. The burn area was described as a strip of redness that became darker and raised over the week following the incident. The surveyor's inspection of the unit's staff break room revealed the presence of the single-serve hot beverage brewing system but no thermometers or instructions for ensuring safe beverage temperatures. During interviews, the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no policy or procedure in place to ensure hot beverages were served at safe temperatures, and the CNA involved in the incident stated that they had not received any education regarding serving hot liquids to residents. This lack of policy and training contributed to the incident and the resulting injury to the resident.
