Resident (R)8's open suction tubing with opposite end attached to suction canister was left on the bed side table. R73 had an open 0.9% Sodium Chloride (Normal Saline) container with an open date of 07/19 left at bedside with suction equipment was found on 08/28/18. The deficient practice had the potential to affect all residents who require suctioning at the facility. Findings Include: 1) On 08/21/18 at 08:30 AM observed R8's suction tube, leading from the suction canister, left on R8's bedside table and open end laying on top of the bedside table. On 08/21/18 at 09:45 AM inquired of HN2 if suction tube should be left open and on R8's bedside table and she concurred that suction tubing should not be left open on the bedside table. Later in the day, after lunch, HN2 stated that she changed out all of the suction attachments for all the residents on 2 Makai. 2) On 08/21/18 at 09:00 AM observed R73's bedside table with suction machine, tubing and normal saline. Noted that normal saline was open and dated 07/19. On 08/21/18 at 09:45 AM inquired of HN2 how long facility keeps open normal saline and she stated 24 hours. On 08/28/18 at 10:10 AM interviewed licensed practical nurse (LPN)2 who confirmed that she opened the 0.9% Sodium Chloride (Normal Saline) on 07/19 and stated that she used it one time for R73's [DEVICE] dressing change to cleanse the site, dated the bottle 07/19 and accidentally left it at bedside. LPN2 stated that it was her fault that she forgot to throw it out. LPN2 confirmed that they only use and keep the normal saline for 24 hours once it is opened.	2020-09-01
