Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record reviews, the facility failed to meet professional standards of quality for two of five
sample residents (Resident 1, Resident 2) by failing to:Ensure Resident 1 was not allowed to
self-administer medications and treatment as indicated in Resident 1's Self Administration of Drugs
Assessment which indicated that Resident 1 was not safe to self-administer drugs.Ensure the physician's
orders for skin treatments were carried through and documented properly for Resident 1 and Resident
2.These deficient practices placed residents at risk of infection and failure in the delivery of necessary care
and services for Resident 1 and Resident 2.Findings:During a review of the admission Record indicated
Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (refers to bladder control problems caused by damage to
the nerves, spinal cord, or brain), hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure) and atrial fibrillation (afib- an
irregular and very rapid heart rhythm that and can lead blood clots in the heart).During a review of the
Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1's cognitive
(mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions was intact.
The MDS indicated Resident 1 required moderate to maximal assistance from staff for activities of daily
living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care
for themselves). The MDS also indicated, Resident 1 has an indwelling catheter (a thin, flexible tube left
inside the bladder to drain urine into a bag, using a small, inflated balloon to hold it in place).During a
review of Resident 1's Self-Administration of Drugs Assessment, undated, the Self-Administration
Assessment indicated, the Interdisciplinary team (IDT - a group of dedicated healthcare professionals who
work to bring knowledge together to help residents receive the care they need) has determined that it is not
safe for the resident (Resident 1) to self-administer drugs.During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary
Report (OSR), dated [DATE] and [DATE], the OSR indicated the following physician's order:flush
suprapubic (catheter - a medical device that helps drain urine from bladder) with 30 cubic centimeter (cc unit of measurement) of normal saline (NS - a mixture of sodium chloride [salt] and water) slow push, do
not aspirate, daily and as needed (prn) for maintenance.Left ischium (the lower, back part of the hip bone)
wound cleanse with NS, pat dry, then apply collagen powder (provides the body with its own natural
building blocks to speed up healing), followed by border foam to secure dailyRight ischium wound cleanse

care daily cleanse urinary insertion site (the location on the body where a flexible tube is placed to drain
urine from the bladder) with NS and pat dry and cover with dry dressing daily and prnDuring a review of
Resident 1's Treatment Administration Record (TAR), the TAR indicated the following treatment orders were
blank and did not have any documentation why the TAR was blank and/or if resident refused the
treatment:Dated [DATE], Flush suprapubic with 30 cc of normal saline, slow push, do not

documented as given:Dated [DATE], flush suprapubic with 30 cc of normal saline, slow push, do not
aspirate daily and as needed.During an interview with Resident 1 on [DATE] at 12:22 p.m., Resident 1
stated, on [DATE], he did not receive any skin treatment that was supposed to be given daily because there
was no treatment nurse available for that day. Resident 1 further stated, he has a suprapubic catheter that
needed daily care.During a concurrent interview and record review with Treatment Nurse 1 (TXN 1) on
[DATE] at 12:46 p.m., TXN 1 stated, she did not do any skin treatment done to Resident 1 on [DATE]
because he refused to get his suprapubic catheter daily care. TXN 1 stated, she documented and signed
on the physician's order for daily flush of suprapubic catheter with normal saline, but Resident 1 is the one
who does it himself. TXN 1 stated, Resident 1 would always tell her that he does it himself, but she had not
seen him doing it himself. TXN 1 further stated, she documented that she administered and did the
treatment care on [DATE] and for the rest of [DATE] and [DATE] for Resident 1 but she did not do it herself.
TXN 1 further stated, if she assumed that resident did the treatment himself without doing her own
assessment and evaluation that Resident 1 may safely do the treatment himself then this could cause injury
to Resident 1 such as obstruction, inflammation and damage to Resident 1's internal organs.During an
interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on [DATE] at 1:22 p.m., RN 1 stated, residents who are allowed to
do self-medication and self-treatment done should be evaluated by the licensed nurses prior to ensure that
they can do the treatment by themselves. RN 1 stated, they have to make sure that the supply that resident
uses are the correct supply and the medications were not expired. RN 1 stated, if residents do their own
treatment without being assessed and evaluated, they are at risk of infection because they might not be
doing the treatment correctly.During a review of the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including neuromuscular
dysfunction of bladder (refers to bladder control problems caused by damage to the nerves, spinal cord, or
brain), hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure) and atrial fibrillation (afib- an irregular and very rapid heart

Ketoconazole external cream two percent - apply to right lower back topically one time a dayDuring an
interview with RN 1 on [DATE] at 1:07 p.m., RN 1 stated, if TAR is blank and no documentation why the log
was blank, it means, the treatment was not done, and the correct process is to document why the treatment
was not done and do not leave the TAR log blank. RN 1 stated, if treatments were not done, this can affect
resident's wound healing, it may get worse.During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P)
titled, Medication - Self Administration, reviewed on [DATE], the P&P indicated that, It is the responsibility of
the IDT to determine if it is safe for the resident to self-administer drugs before the resident may exercise
that right. The IDT must determine whether the resident or the nursing staff will be responsible for storage
and documentation of the administration of the medications, as well as, the location where the medications
will be administered. These determinations should appear on the resident's comprehensive plan of
care.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Prevention of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries, reviewed on [DATE],
the P&P indicated that, The following information should be documented in the resident's clinical record:
The type of skin care rendered, the date and time skin care was given, the name and title of the individual
who gave the care; any change in the resident's condition; the condition of the resident's skin; how the
resident tolerated the procedure or his/her ability to participate in the procedure; any problems or complains
made by the resident related to the procedure, if the resident refused the care, the reason (s) why;
observation of anything unusual exhibited by the resident; the signature and title of the person recording the
data; documentation of advance directives.
