Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Delta Blues Health & Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
An infection control deficiency was cited after staff repeatedly failed to properly clean and disinfect a multi-use glucometer between resident uses, did not allow required dry time, and did not consistently perform hand hygiene after glove removal. Surveyors observed an RN and LPNs using alcohol prep pads or incomplete wipe technique during blood glucose checks for multiple residents, including residents with diabetes and some with hepatitis C, and also observed failure to clean reusable equipment such as a wrist cuff after use.
Infection Control Failures During Glucometer Use and Reusable Equipment Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain infection prevention and control practices during blood glucose monitoring and other resident care activities. Surveyors observed multiple licensed nurses using a multi-use glucometer without cleaning and disinfecting it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and facility protocol, including failure to use an EPA-approved disinfecting wipe, failure to wipe the entire surface of the meter, and failure to allow the required drying time before reuse. The report also documented failure to perform hand hygiene after glove removal during medication administration and failure to clean reusable equipment after use. Resident #10 had diagnoses including diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease and had orders for daily blood glucose checks and bedtime insulin. During observation, an RN cleaned the glucometer with an alcohol prep pad before entering the room, used it for the resident’s blood glucose check, removed gloves, exited the room, and then cleaned the glucometer again with an alcohol prep pad. Resident #94 had diagnoses including diabetes, hypertension, and schizophrenia, with orders for sliding scale insulin before and after meals and at bedtime. During observation, an RN used the glucometer that had been previously cleaned with an alcohol prep pad and was unable to state the facility policy for cleaning the device. Resident #131 had diagnoses including diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, pulmonary embolism, and heart failure, with an order for blood glucose checks before meals and at bedtime. An RN cleaned the glucometer with an alcohol prep pad, performed the blood glucose check, exited the room, and then cleaned the glucometer again with an alcohol prep pad before placing it on the medication cart. Resident #7, Resident #11, Resident #75, and Resident #142 were also observed during blood glucose monitoring with similar failures, including incomplete wiping of the glucometer, failure to allow the required 2-minute dry time, and failure to perform hand hygiene after glove removal. Resident #75 also involved failure to perform hand hygiene before donning gloves and after glove removal. Resident #146 was observed during blood pressure monitoring, and the reusable wrist cuff was placed on the medication cart and then cleaned with a germicidal wipe without a barrier. The report also identified residents with hepatitis C and diabetes in the facility census, including Residents #2, #73, #100, and #174.
