Failure to use gloves during blood glucose testing: An RN performed a resident’s blood glucose check without gloves, cleansing the finger, using the lancet to obtain blood, and handling the glucose monitor, used test strip, and used lancet with bare hands. The resident had diabetes and orders for blood glucose monitoring four times daily. The RN confirmed she did not use gloves, and the DON stated staff were expected to follow standard precautions and facility policy requiring gloves for this procedure.
A facility failed to account for 34 tablets of hydromorphone for a resident with spinal surgery and severe pain. The medication was not sent home upon discharge and was later found missing. Despite policies requiring immediate reporting and destruction of discontinued medications, these were not followed, leading to the discrepancy.
Failure to Use Gloves During Blood Glucose Testing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow standard precautions during point-of-care blood glucose testing for one resident with diabetes who had intact cognition and orders to have blood glucose monitored four times a day. During observation, the RN prepared to perform the resident’s morning blood glucose test in the unit dining room after performing hand hygiene and gathering the resident’s dedicated glucose monitor, test strip, lancet, and alcohol wipe. The RN verified the resident’s identity and obtained permission to test him at the table, then inserted the test strip and placed the lancet and monitor on the table next to the resident. Without donning gloves, the RN cleansed the resident’s finger with alcohol, used the lancet to obtain blood, and then picked up the glucose monitor to obtain the blood sample. The RN carried the monitor, used test strip, used lancet, and used alcohol wipe back to the treatment cart with bare hands. She then removed the used test strip using the alcohol prep wrapping and disposed of it and the used lancet in the sharps container before performing hand hygiene with soap and water. The RN confirmed she had not used gloves and stated she had received infection control training and competency testing. The DON stated the expectation was for staff to follow facility policy and standard precautions, including use of gloves related to the potential to transmit blood borne pathogens. The facility policy for blood glucose monitoring directed staff to perform hand hygiene, apply gloves, and then obtain the blood sample.
Unaccounted Loss of Controlled Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly account for 34 tablets of hydromorphone, a controlled narcotic pain medication, for a resident who had been admitted with diagnoses including infection of multiple sites of the spine, septicemia, and low back pain. The resident had undergone recent spinal surgery and was prescribed hydromorphone for severe pain. Upon discharge from the hospital, the resident's medication administration record indicated she received hydromorphone on two occasions. However, after the resident was discharged from the facility, the hydromorphone was not sent home with her, and it was later discovered to be missing. The discrepancy was identified when two LPNs conducted a narcotic count and found the medication missing. Despite the facility's policy requiring immediate notification of the DON upon discovering discrepancies, the nurses delayed reporting the issue. The facility's policy also required discontinued medications to be destroyed promptly with two nurses present, which was not adhered to. The pharmacist confirmed that medications should be destroyed on-site as soon as they are discontinued. The failure to follow these procedures led to the unaccounted loss of the controlled medication.
