Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pruitthealth - Jasper during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Staff did not consistently follow infection prevention protocols, including improper sanitization of shared medical equipment, failure to don and doff PPE correctly in rooms with Enhanced Barrier and Transmission-Based Precautions, and inconsistent hand hygiene and glove use during meal service and resident care. Staff interviews revealed confusion and lack of understanding regarding PPE and infection control policies.
Two multidose medications with illegible expiration dates were found on medication carts during administration by an LPN and an RN. Both staff members acknowledged the labels were unclear and had not been checked prior to use, contrary to facility policy requiring verification of expiration dates before administration and removal of outdated or illegible medications.
A resident's room was found to have crumbs, dust, a cheese puff, medication cups, and an alcohol prep under the bed on multiple occasions. Despite the facility's policy for daily cleaning, the debris remained for two days. The Environmental Services Manager acknowledged the oversight and stated that the cleaning staff should have cleaned the room properly.
A facility failed to implement a care plan intervention for a resident with hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a stroke. The resident's care plan included the use of a scoop mattress to mitigate fall risks, but the mattress was not moved with the resident to a new room, resulting in the use of a regular mattress. The resident experienced multiple falls, and the deficiency was confirmed by the LPN Unit Manager.
The facility failed to provide a scoop mattress for a resident with a history of falls, despite it being indicated in the care plan. Observations and staff interviews confirmed the absence of the scoop mattress, increasing the resident's risk of falls.
Infection Control Lapses in PPE Use, Equipment Sanitization, and Hand Hygiene
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to consistently follow infection prevention and control protocols, as evidenced by multiple observations and staff interviews. During medication pass, a nurse used a single disinfectant wipe to clean multiple pieces of shared medical equipment, such as a blood pressure cuff, thermometer, and pulse oximeter, without changing the wipe between items. The nurse acknowledged this practice could lead to cross-contamination, and the Director of Nursing indicated that cleaning between residents was primarily emphasized for those on transmission-based precautions, not for all residents. In rooms with Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) and Transmission-Based Precautions (TBP), staff did not properly don or doff personal protective equipment (PPE) as required by facility policy. A housekeeper was observed removing PPE outside the resident's room and discarding it in a housekeeping cart, rather than inside the room as specified. A nurse practitioner and several CNAs entered rooms on droplet and EBP precautions without wearing the recommended PPE, and in some cases, did not perform hand hygiene or change masks after exiting. Staff interviews revealed confusion about when and what type of PPE was required for EBP and TBP, with inconsistent understanding and application of the policies. Additional deficiencies were observed during meal service, where a CNA used a personal bottle of hand sanitizer stored in her pocket between resident tray passes, raising concerns about cross-contamination. The Certified Dietary Manager wore gloves while moving between resident areas and attempted to access doors and nourishment rooms without removing gloves, contrary to infection control protocols. Staff interviews confirmed a lack of clear guidance and understanding regarding glove use, hand hygiene, and PPE requirements during both routine and outbreak situations.
Failure to Discard Medications with Illegible Expiration Dates
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly discard two multidose medications with illegible expiration dates found on two separate medication carts. During medication administration, an LPN was observed with a bottle of aspirin 81 mg tablets that had an unreadable expiration date. The LPN confirmed she could not determine the expiration date and admitted she did not check the date before administering the medication. Similarly, an RN was found with a bottle of melatonin 3 mg tablets with an illegible expiration date and stated she would dispose of it, acknowledging she had not noticed the label was unclear as she did not typically administer that medication on her shift. The facility's policy requires nurses to check all medications for expiration and deterioration before administration and to immediately remove any outdated or illegible medications from stock. Interviews with the DON and Infection Preventionist confirmed that staff are expected to ensure medications are not expired and to discard any with unclear labeling. However, the observations revealed that these procedures were not consistently followed, resulting in the presence of medications with illegible expiration dates on medication carts.
Failure to Maintain Cleanliness in Resident's Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for one resident. Specifically, the resident's room was observed to have crumbs, dust, a cheese puff, medication cups, and an alcohol prep under the bed on multiple occasions. Despite the facility's policy stating that housekeeping services should be performed daily and more frequently if visible soiling occurs, the debris remained under the bed over two days. The Environmental Services Manager acknowledged the debris and stated that the cleaning staff should have cleaned the room properly, including the area under the bed.
Failure to Implement Care Plan Intervention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement an intervention identified on the comprehensive care plan for a resident diagnosed with hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a stroke, among other conditions. The resident's care plan included several approaches to mitigate the risk of falls, such as the use of a scoop mattress, which was supposed to be in place starting from 11/10/2023. However, during an interview, the LPN Unit Manager confirmed that the scoop mattress was not moved with the resident when she was relocated to a new room on 11/18/2023, resulting in the resident using a regular mattress instead. The resident experienced falls on three separate occasions (11/10/2023, 11/23/2023, and 12/28/2023) with no injuries noted. The care plan's failure to ensure the scoop mattress was in place as specified contributed to these incidents. The facility's policy on care plans emphasizes the importance of following the comprehensive care plan to provide continuity of care, but this was not adhered to in this case, leading to the deficiency identified by the surveyors.
Failure to Provide Assistive Device for Fall Prevention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an assistive device, specifically a scoop mattress, to prevent falls for one resident (R50). R50 had a history of multiple falls, including two unwitnessed falls, one witnessed fall, and one fall with unclear documentation. The resident's care plan indicated the need for a scoop mattress to define the parameters of the bed, but observations on multiple occasions revealed that a regular mattress was in place instead. Interviews with staff confirmed that the scoop mattress was not on the bed, and there was uncertainty about why it had been removed or not replaced. R50 was admitted with several diagnoses, including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a stroke, muscle wasting, lack of coordination, and contracture of the right knee. The resident's care plan, which included the use of a scoop mattress, was not followed, as evidenced by the observations and staff interviews. The failure to provide the appropriate assistive device as outlined in the care plan increased the risk of falls for R50, as demonstrated by the multiple falls documented in the facility's records.
