Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Calvert City Convalescent Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident's morphine vial was tampered with by an RN, who injected water to correct a volume discrepancy. The incident was reported by another nurse, and the RN was terminated. The facility's policies on medication administration and abuse prevention were not followed, leading to discrepancies in the narcotic logbook and MAR.
The facility failed to follow its grievance policy, lacking a system to document and resolve resident grievances. Residents reported grievances to staff but were not informed of the status while awaiting resolution. The Administrator and Social Services Director acknowledged the absence of a formal documentation process, relying instead on informal methods, which could affect all residents expressing grievances.
The facility failed to store, prepare, and serve food according to professional standards, with observations of improperly stored and unlabeled food items in the kitchen. Despite staff training, food items like pies, sandwiches, and frozen goods were not sealed or dated, risking contamination.
The facility failed to adhere to its infection control policy regarding the weekly change of oxygen tubing for three residents. Observations showed that one resident's tubing was overdue for a change, while two others lacked date markings. Interviews with staff revealed that although an outside vendor supplied the equipment, it was the nursing staff's responsibility to ensure compliance with the policy, which was not consistently followed.
Misappropriation of Resident's Medication by RN
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from misappropriation of property when a Registered Nurse (RN), who was also the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), tampered with a vial of liquid oral morphine concentrate. The RN injected water into the vial to correct a volume discrepancy reported by another staff nurse. This action was admitted by the RN, who was subsequently terminated from her position. The incident involved Resident 48, who was cognitively intact and had a care plan for pain management due to chronic pain syndrome and other conditions. The facility's policies on medication administration and abuse prevention were not adhered to, as the RN's actions constituted medication tampering. The morphine vial was found to be 2 milliliters short, prompting the RN to dilute it with water in an attempt to restore the correct volume. This was done in the presence of another nurse, who reported the incident to management. The facility's investigation confirmed that the morphine vial had been tampered with, although it was stated that no diluted medication was administered to the resident. Interviews with staff revealed that the RN's actions were not reported immediately, and there was a lack of proper documentation on the medication administration record (MAR). The facility's narcotic logbook showed discrepancies in the recorded administration of morphine doses. The incident was reported to the State Board of Nursing, and the facility took steps to prevent future occurrences, although these corrective actions are not detailed in this summary.
Failure to Document and Resolve Resident Grievances
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy regarding the prompt resolution of grievances related to residents' rights, which could potentially affect all residents expressing a grievance. During the survey process, the Administrator was unable to provide a formal documentation or log of resident grievances for the past six months, except for those discussed in resident council meetings. The facility's policy required staff to document grievances on a designated form and ensure residents were kept informed of the progress towards resolution. However, interviews with residents and staff revealed that while grievances were acted upon, there was no system in place to document the grievances, actions taken, or updates provided to residents. Residents reported grievances to the Activities Director or Social Services Director, but they were not informed of the status of their grievances while awaiting resolution. The Social Services Director acknowledged the lack of a documentation system to track grievances and updates. The Administrator also admitted that grievances were routed to the appropriate department but lacked a formal documentation process, relying instead on progress notes. This deficiency in the grievance process was identified during a resident council meeting and subsequent interviews, highlighting the facility's failure to ensure a structured and documented approach to handling grievances.
Food Storage and Safety Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, as observed during a survey. In the kitchen, food items were found not dated, labeled, or stored properly, which could lead to potential contamination. Specifically, six full pies were stored uncovered on a cart, sandwiches in the refrigerator were not sealed properly, and items in the freezer, such as tator tots and biscuits, were not sealed or dated. Additionally, a box of sausage links in the walk-in refrigerator was not sealed properly and lacked a date. Interviews with dietary staff and the Dietary Manager revealed that they were aware of the facility's policies regarding food storage, which included dating and sealing food items to prevent contamination. Despite receiving training and in-services, the staff did not consistently follow these procedures. The Dietary Manager acknowledged the importance of these processes to prevent contamination and ensure food quality, emphasizing the need for proper sealing, labeling, and dating of food items. However, the observed deficiencies indicated a lapse in following these established protocols, potentially compromising resident safety.
Inadequate Management of Oxygen Tubing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the improper management of oxygen tubing for three residents. Facility policy required that oxygen tubing, masks, or cannulas be changed weekly as an infection control measure. However, observations revealed that one resident's oxygen tubing was dated beyond the weekly change requirement, and two other residents' tubing lacked any date to indicate when they were last changed. This oversight was identified during a survey conducted by the State Survey Agency. Interviews with facility staff, including an LPN, RN, the Infection Preventionist Nurse, the DON, and the Administrator, revealed a reliance on an outside vendor to supply and change oxygen equipment weekly. However, it was the responsibility of the nursing staff to ensure that the tubing was dated and changed as per facility policy. The staff acknowledged that there were lapses in following the policy, particularly for new residents or when the vendor had not yet serviced the equipment. The DON and Administrator both emphasized the expectation for nursing staff to verify that the tubing was changed and dated correctly, highlighting a gap in adherence to infection control protocols.
