81 | LAS VEGAS POST ACUTE & REHABILITATION | 295006 | 2832 S. MARYLAND PARKWAY | LAS VEGAS | NV | 89109 | 2017-05-04 | 441 | D | 0 | 1 | XLYQ11 | Based on observation, interview, and document review the facility failed to ensure staff would performed hand hygiene in between residents during Medication Administration Pass. Findings include: On 5/3/17 at 8:25 AM, during a Medication Administration Pass observation, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) administered the medications to Resident #19. The LPN then went to the medication cart and prepared the medication of Resident #20. The LPN did not perform hand hygiene after the medications were administered to Resident #19 and before the medication of Resident #20 was prepared. On 5/3/17 at 8:40 AM, the LPN confirmed the observation and indicated he should have performed hand hygiene prior to preparing and administering Resident #20's medication. On 5/3/17 at 2:25 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) explained the nurses were expected to perform hand hygiene before and after the administration of medications to each resident to prevent cross-contamination. The facility's policy titled Administering Medications revised on (MONTH) 2012, documented staff should have followed established facility infection control procedures such as hand washing for the administration of medications, as applicable. | 2020-09-01 |
