Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Walnut Ridge during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain sanitary practices in food storage and preparation. Items in refrigerators and freezers were improperly labeled and covered, and sanitizer concentration checks were neglected. Additionally, a cook engaged in unsanitary practices during meal service, and the facility lacked a food service sanitation policy.
A medication error occurred when an LPN administered Senna S 50mg-8.6mg two tablets to a resident, despite the EMAR indicating an order for Senna 8.6mg two tablets twice a day. The discrepancy arose from a failure to clarify a doctor's order, leading to the administration of the incorrect medication. The facility's policy on medication administration, which requires accurate transcription and adherence to the eight rights of drug administration, was not followed.
The facility failed to implement its IPCP by not discarding PPE gowns immediately after use. Two gowns were found hanging in a resident's room with Enhanced Barrier Precautions due to a sacral wound. A CNA admitted to reusing gowns, and an RN was observed wearing a reused gown. The Infection Preventionist acknowledged the practice to conserve resources, despite the policy requiring fresh gowns each time.
Sanitary Practices and Food Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary practices in food storage and preparation, as observed during a survey. In Refrigerator #4, several items, including prune juice, skim milk, and 2% milk, lacked open date labels, and a container with a red lid containing a light red creamy liquid was not labeled for identification or date. Additionally, cottage cheese and coleslaw were not fully covered. In Refrigerator #3, American cheese was not fully covered or dated. In the freezer, hash browns and a loaf of gluten bread were not covered. The Dietary Manager admitted that the sanitizer concentration had not been checked since she started in September 2022, and no documentation was available to confirm when it was last checked. This is contrary to the facility's Safe Food Storage Policy and Sanitizing Solution Policy, which require proper labeling, dating, and covering of food items, as well as regular checks of sanitizer concentration. Furthermore, during meal service, a cook was observed engaging in unsanitary practices. The cook scratched his head, handled meal tickets, and then placed his thumb inside a soup bowl and a small bowl used for serving pears without performing hand hygiene or changing gloves. The facility lacked a policy for food service sanitation, contributing to these unsanitary practices. These actions are in violation of the 2022 FDA Food Code, which mandates that food packages be in good condition to protect against contamination.
Medication Error Due to Unclarified Doctor's Order
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to clarify a doctor's order, resulting in a medication error for a resident. On a specific date, an LPN reviewed the Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) and prepared the scheduled morning medication, including Senna S 50mg-8.6mg two tablets, which was then administered to the resident. However, the EMAR indicated an order for Senna 8.6mg, two tablets by mouth twice a day for constipation, which was dated from the previous year. The discrepancy between the medication administered and the order in the EMAR was not identified at the time of administration. Further investigation revealed that the medication card delivered from the pharmacy did not match the EMAR order. The original admission orders for the resident included Senna-S 50mg 8.6mg one tablet by mouth twice a day. A telephone order had been received to increase the dosage, but the order was not accurately transcribed, leading to the administration of the incorrect medication. The facility's policy on medication administration emphasizes the importance of accurate transcription and adherence to the eight rights of drug administration, which were not followed in this instance.
Failure to Discard Single-Use PPE Gowns
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) by not discarding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) immediately after use. During an observation, two PPE gowns were found hanging on a hook rack in a resident's room with Enhanced Barrier Precautions due to the resident's sacral wound. Staff A, a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA), admitted that the gowns were hung on the rack for convenience and that staff either reused them or got new ones, with no way to identify who used which gown. Staff B, the Health Information Manager, confirmed that the gowns were single-use according to the manufacturer. Staff C, a Registered Nurse (RN), was observed wearing a gown from the hook rack, indicating reuse. The Infection Preventionist acknowledged the practice of reusing gowns to conserve resources, despite the facility's policy requiring a fresh gown each time. The facility reported a census of 35 residents, and the deficiency was identified through observations, staff interviews, record reviews, and policy review. The practice of reusing PPE gowns was contrary to the facility's documented procedures, which directed staff to use a fresh gown each time one is needed.
