Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pruitthealth - Lafayette during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to store food according to its policy, with emergency water and food items found on the floor, and a dented can improperly stored in the dry storage area. The Dietary Manager and Administrator acknowledged the storage issues, which could potentially affect 70 of 73 residents receiving an oral diet.
A facility failed to implement a care plan for a resident receiving oxygen therapy. The resident's care plan required oxygen to maintain saturation above 90%, with a physician's order for 2 LPM via nasal cannula. Observations showed the oxygen was set at 1.5 LPM, not following the order. Interviews revealed staff were responsible for updating and following care plans, but the deficiency indicated a lapse in adherence.
The facility failed to clean oxygen concentrators and follow oxygen orders for two residents. Observations showed dusty debris on concentrator vents and incorrect oxygen settings at 1.5 LPM instead of the ordered 2 LPM. Both residents, with intact cognition, confirmed they were supposed to receive 2 LPM. A nurse stated housekeeping was responsible for cleaning, but the issue persisted.
Improper Food Storage and Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy on food storage, which requires food to be stored at least six inches off the floor and dented cans to be kept in a separate designated area. Observations revealed that 29 cases of emergency water were stored directly on the floor in the nursing staff break room, and cases of sliced yellow squash and split top white bread were found on the floor of the walk-in freezer. The Dietary Manager acknowledged the lack of sufficient storage shelves and confirmed that the food items should not have been stored on the floor. The Administrator admitted to approving the storage of emergency water in the break room to prevent freezing but did not ensure they were stored off the floor. Additionally, a large can of sliced beets with a significant dent was found in the dry storage area on the can rack, contrary to the facility's policy that dented cans should be placed by the back door. The Dietary Manager confirmed the presence of the dented can in the storage rack and stated that dietary staff are responsible for placing groceries away correctly. The failure to follow proper storage procedures had the potential to affect 70 of the 73 residents receiving an oral diet.
Failure to Implement Oxygen Therapy Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement the care plan related to oxygen therapy for a resident receiving oxygen. The resident, identified as having intact cognition and requiring oxygen therapy, had a care plan indicating the need for oxygen use to maintain oxygen saturation above 90 percent. The physician's order specified oxygen at 2 Liters Per Minute (LPM) via nasal cannula. However, observations on two consecutive days revealed that the oxygen was set at a flow rate of 1.5 LPM, contrary to the physician's order. Interviews with the MDS Coordinators and Unit Managers revealed that it was the responsibility of the nursing staff to ensure care plans were updated and followed. The Unit Managers stated that staff were trained to check the oxygen gauge at eye level to ensure compliance with the ordered LPM. Despite these protocols, the deficiency occurred, indicating a lapse in following the care plan and physician's orders for the resident's oxygen therapy.
Oxygen Therapy Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that oxygen concentrators were clean and that oxygen orders were followed for two residents receiving oxygen therapy. The facility's policy on oxygen administration requires that the exterior of concentrators be cleaned weekly and between each resident use. However, observations revealed that the oxygen concentrators for both residents had gray, dusty debris on the vents, indicating they were not cleaned as per policy. Additionally, the oxygen concentrators were set at 1.5 liters per minute (LPM) instead of the ordered 2 LPM, which was necessary to maintain the residents' oxygen saturation levels. Resident 21, with intact cognition, had a physician's order for oxygen at 2 LPM to maintain oxygen saturation above 90 percent due to shortness of breath when lying flat. Similarly, Resident 6, also with intact cognition, had an order for continuous oxygen at 2 LPM to maintain oxygen saturation at 92 percent. Despite these orders, both residents' oxygen concentrators were observed to be set at 1.5 LPM. Interviews with the residents confirmed they were supposed to receive 2 LPM of oxygen. A registered nurse indicated that housekeeping was responsible for cleaning the concentrators, but the vents remained dusty, and the oxygen settings were incorrect, as verified by the weekend supervisor.
