Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Park View Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to follow proper infection control practices for a COVID-19 positive resident. An LPN administered medications without updating the resident's care plan to reflect the diagnosis and necessary precautions. The LPN placed unsanitized items on a clean PPE bin and returned them to the medication cart, contrary to facility policy. Interviews with staff confirmed the breach in protocol, highlighting the importance of sanitizing items to prevent germ spread.
A resident with a history of diabetes and chronic conditions experienced a fall with a head strike, hyperglycemia, and respiratory distress. The facility failed to monitor and provide appropriate treatment, leading to the resident's deterioration and eventual death. Staff did not follow policies on fall risk management and health status notification.
Inadequate Infection Control for COVID-19 Positive Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to proper infection control practices for a resident diagnosed with COVID-19, identified as R82. The resident, who had intact cognition and required extensive assistance for activities of daily living, tested positive for COVID-19. Despite this, the resident's care plan was not updated to reflect the COVID-19 diagnosis and necessary contact precautions. During a medication observation, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) prepared and administered medications to R82 without following appropriate infection control protocols. The LPN donned personal protective equipment (PPE) before entering R82's room and administered medications, including an oral syringe of Oxycodone, directly to the resident. After administering the medications, the LPN removed a used nicotine patch and applied a new one. Upon exiting the room, the LPN placed the used syringe and plastic glass on a PPE bin in the hallway, which was considered a clean area, and returned the unsanitized syringe to the medication cart. This action was contrary to the facility's policy, which required that items used in a COVID-19 positive resident's room should not be returned to the medication cart without proper sanitization. Interviews with the LPN, a Registered Nurse (RN), and the interim Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the breach in protocol. The LPN acknowledged the importance of sanitizing items before returning them to the medication cart to prevent the spread of germs. The RN and DON reiterated that supplies from a resident's room should not be placed on the PPE cart in the hallway to avoid contamination. The facility's policy on infection prevention and control emphasized the need for transmission-based precautions, but a specific policy for the use of these precautions was not provided upon request.
Failure to Monitor and Provide Treatment After Fall and Respiratory Distress
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to monitor and provide appropriate treatment for a resident following a fall with a head strike, hyperglycemia, and changes in respiratory status. The resident, who had a history of diabetes mellitus type 1, chronic kidney disease, and atherosclerotic heart disease, experienced an unwitnessed fall resulting in a bruise on the forehead. Despite the resident's vital signs and blood glucose levels indicating significant distress, including hyperglycemia and low oxygen saturation levels, the medical record lacked evidence of adequate interventions to alleviate the respiratory distress or manage the hyperglycemia effectively. The resident's condition continued to deteriorate, leading to severe respiratory distress and eventual death at the hospital due to suspected severe sepsis/septic shock from pneumonia. The facility's staff, including registered nurses and nurse practitioners, failed to perform timely and thorough assessments, document critical information, and communicate effectively with the on-call provider and family members. The facility's policies on fall risk management and notification of changes in resident health status were not adequately followed, contributing to the resident's decline and eventual death. The report highlights significant lapses in monitoring, documentation, and communication that led to the deficiency in care provided to the resident.
