Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional standards of
practice were followed for one of 5 sampled residents (Resident 3) when Resident 3's medication was not
administered as ordered and was left at bedside.This failure had the potential to result in contamination of
the medication and for Resident 3 not having the desired effects of the medication.Findings:During a review
of Resident 3's admission records, the records indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in
November 2025 with diagnoses that included complete lesion of thoracic spinal cord (a severe injury where

of movement and/or sensation, to some degree, of the legs), depression (persistent feelings of sadness
and loss of interest that interfere with daily life) , and retention of urine (the inability to completely empty the
bladder). Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool) indicated

report indicated a physician order for Bethanechol (medication used to relieve difficulties in urinating) 25 mg
(milligrams, a unit of measurement), two tablets by mouth three times a day for retention of urine.During a

around 9 a.m. and Resident 3 stated he did not know what the medication was for.During a concurrent
observation and interview on 11/13/25 at 10:55 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON

containing tablets similar to the powder's color. LN 1 confirmed the medication was crushed and there was
no physician order to crush the medication. LN 1 further confirmed that the contents of the medication cups
indicated Resident 3 did not receive the full dose of Bethanechol.During an interview on 11/13/25 at 2:28
p.m. with the DON, the DON confirmed LN 1 crushed Resident 3's Bethanechol and Resident 3 did not

receive the medication and not leave the medication at bedside and administer the whole dose of the
medication.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, IIA2: MEDICATION
ADMINISTRATION-GENERAL GUIDELINES, dated 10/2017, the P&P indicated, .Medications are
