Health deficiencies cited at Nhc Healthcare - Anderson during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with dementia and a femur fracture was placed in a bean bag chair at a nurse's station for safety, as he was considered a fall risk. The resident's family expressed concerns that the chair was a restraint, as he could not get in or out unassisted. The facility lacked policies and assessments for the use of bean bag chairs, which were not included in care plans, highlighting a deficiency in managing potential restraints and ensuring resident safety.
The facility failed to maintain sterility of biologicals in a medication room, where several sterile dressings were found open without an open date, contrary to facility policy. The 600 Hall Nurse Supervisor was uncertain about the sterility of open dressings, and the DON confirmed that staff education on proper disposal was conducted after the findings.
Failure to Identify Bean Bag Chair as Potential Restraint
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to identify the use of bean bag chairs as a potential restraint for a resident, referred to as R407, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia, anxiety, and a femur fracture. The facility's policy states that residents have the right to be free from physical restraints unless needed for medical treatment. However, R407 was placed in a bean bag chair at the nurse's station for safety reasons, as he was considered a fall risk and had been getting up unassisted. The resident's son was informed about the use of the bean bag chair, and although he agreed to its use, he expressed concerns that it was a restraint since his father could not get in or out of it unassisted. Interviews with the resident's family and staff revealed differing perspectives on the use of the bean bag chair. The resident's son and daughter were concerned about their father's inability to lie down and the lack of sheets on his bed, which forced him to remain in his wheelchair. The son believed the bean bag chair was a restraint, while the staff, including an LPN and the DON, viewed it as a means to provide rest and prevent falls. The DON stated that the bean bag chairs were not used regularly and were considered a better alternative to medication. However, there were no policies or assessments in place to ensure the safety of residents using the bean bag chairs. The facility did not have documentation or policies regarding the use, cleaning, or monitoring of bean bag chairs. The DON acknowledged that the chairs could potentially be a restraint if a resident could not get in or out independently. Despite this, there were no assessments conducted to ensure residents' safety while using the chairs, and they were not included in care plans. The lack of policies and assessments highlights a deficiency in the facility's approach to managing potential restraints and ensuring resident safety.
Failure to Maintain Sterility of Biologicals in Medication Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that biologicals were kept sterile in one of the six medication rooms, specifically in the Medication Room on Hall 600. During an observation, several sterile dressings were found open without an open date, despite having future expiration dates. These included Aquacel Ag Foam, Acticoat flex3, Aquacel Ag Advantage, and Allevyn Life dressings. The facility policy requires disposal of medications prior to expiration if contamination or decomposition is apparent, but the open dressings were not discarded as per the policy. An interview with the 600 Hall Nurse Supervisor revealed that open sterile dressings should be discarded, but there was uncertainty about whether sterility is maintained if the dressing is open but still enclosed in an unopened container. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that a Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) document was created to educate staff on the proper discarding of sterile supplies after the findings. However, the deficiency was identified due to the failure to adhere to the facility's policy on maintaining sterility of biologicals.
