F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, for one (Resident 46) of 17 sampled residents, the facility allowed Resident 46 to self-administer medication without a physician's order or assessment of the resident's ability to self-administer medications safely. Residents Affected - Few This failure has the potential for Resident 46 to not take the medications as prescribed. Findings: During the initial tour observation and concurrent interview, on 5/24/2021 at 10:10 a.m., Resident 46's Proventil HFA (hydrofluoroalkane) Aerosol Solution (anti-asthmatic and bronchodilator agents to treat a disease that affects the lungs) and Naphcon eye drops (used for redness, puffiness, itching that commonly occur with allergies) were at the bedside table. The Director of Staff Development (DSD) confirmed Resident 46's medications were at the bedside table. During an interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), on 5/24/2021 at 10:30 a.m., LVN 1 stated the albuterol (fast acting medication for shortness of breath) inhaler and eye drops were put on the bedside table a few days ago.

Record review of the physician orders dated 4/23/2021 indicated Proventil HFA Aerosol solution (albuterol sulfate HFA), two puffs inhale orally every four hours related to malignant Neoplasm of the lung. There was no physician's order for Naphcon eye drops or for Resident 46 to self-administer medications. During a review of the undated P&P titled, Bedside Medications indicated, bedside medication storage shall be permitted for residents who are able to self-administer medications, upon the written order of the prescriber and when it is deemed appropriate in the judgement of the facility's interdisciplinary resident assessment team.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the ombudsman (an official appointed to advocate and investigate resident complaints) was notified before discharging one (Resident 52) of three sampled residents from the facility. This deficient practice had the potential to deny protection and advocacy rights from the Ombudsman on behalf of Resident 52 from a possible inappropriate discharge or explore other available options. Findings: During a review of Resident 52's discharge records, the facility was unable to find the ombudsman notification of Resident 52's discharge from the facility.

Based on observation, staff interview, and record review, the facility failed to identify expired narcotics (medications used to relieve pain) in the e-kit (emergency kit: a locked box which contains a limited supply of medications for the facility to use during emergency situations, and after pharmacy hours). This failure had the potential for residents to experience inadequate pain control. Findings: During a tour of the medication room with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 5/25/21, at 9:45 a.m , the narcotics e-kit had a yellow lock tag. Further inspection of the narcotics e-kit contained 2 vials of Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) 2mg/ml (milligram/milliliter) 1 ml injectable and expiration date of 5/21. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 5/25/21 at 9:55 a.m., DON stated the pharmacy consultant is supposed to check the e-kits during the monthly pharmaceutical reviews. The pharmacy consultant had not visited the facility since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Review of the clinical record indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included dementia with behavioral disturbance, (a progressive disease that destroys memory). Review of the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP) MRR dated 3/31/2021, indicated Resident is on Buspirone (anxiety disorder) 5 mg, three times a day and Ativan (anti-anxiety) 0.5 mg two times a day. The CP recommendation indicated, Is a dose reduction indicated? This therapeutic duplication may increase the potential for adverse effects. Please evaluate and document risk/benefits/rationale if the medications continue to be indicated concurrently. If the same dose is to continue, please document the reason in the chart. During an interview with DON on 5/26/2021 at 1:25 p.m., DON stated CP would email the recommendations after CP's visit. CP is responsible to follow up with the physicians or gives it to the nurses to follow up with the physicians. DON further stated, We need to take care of it as soon as possible. During a telephone interview with CP on 6/8/2021 at 2:59 p.m., CP stated the facility has 72-hours to complete the MRR after the date the facility receives the recommendations. 3.

Resident 37 further stated he would like to decrease his medications. During an interview on 5/25/2021 at 12:35 p.m., LVN 1 stated Resident 1 is currently receiving multiple antipsychotic medications and had multiple falls since admission. LVN 1 further stated there was no MRR done for Resident 37. During an interview and concurrent record review on 5/27/2021 at 10:55 a.m., DON confirmed Resident 37's MRR had not been reviewed for 45-days from the date of admission. DON further stated, I sent an email message to CP on 5/17/2021 requesting a MRR. DON was unable to show if Resident 37's medication list for MRR was faxed to the pharmacy. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain the resident's highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being and prevent or minimize adverse consequences related to medication therapy, for three of three sampled residents, (Resident 30, Resident 37 and Resident 3) when the facility did not inform the physicians about the pharmacist's recommendation of changing the medication dosages for Resident 30. The drug regimen review was not done within 30-days by the licensed pharmacist for Residents 3 and 37. These failures had the potential to receive unnecessary medication for Resident 30. For Resident 37 and Resident 3, this had the potential of adverse side effects of the medications.
