F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to meet the needs of two residents (13 and 20) when they were simultaneously administered two medications with drug-to-drug interaction (situation in which a drug affects the activity of another drug when both are administered together). This interaction may decrease the therapeutic effect of the medications for the residents. Findings: Review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated, she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with anemia (a low number of red blood cells) diagnosis. Review of Resident 13's clinical record indicated, she had physician orders for ferrous sulfate (a supplement used to prevent or treat low blood iron levels) 220 milligrams (mg, a metric unit of mass) per 5 milliliters (ml, a metric unit of volume) daily at 9 a.m., started on 7/21/23, and for calcium carbonate (a medication used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels) 500 mg, give two tablets daily at 9 a.m., started on 7/21/23. Thus, since 7/21/23, ferrous sulfate and calcium carbonate were given daily at the same time at 9 a.m. Review of Resident 20's admission Record indicated, he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss diagnosis. Review of Resident 20's clinical record indicated, he had physician orders for ferrous sulfate 220 mg/5 ml, give 7.5 ml daily at 9 a.m., started on 8/24/23, and for Calcium 600-D (a medication used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels) 600-400 mg-unit, two times daily at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., started on 8/24/23. Thus, since 8/24/23, ferrous sulfate and Calcium 600-D were given daily at the same time at 9 a.m. During an interview with the pharmacy consultant (PC), on 10/13/23 at 2:55 p.m., she stated the ferrous sulfate and calcium should have administered at least one to two hours apart to avoid drug-to-drug interaction that may decrease the absorption of ferrous sulfate. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 10/13/23 at 3:05 p.m., she confirmed the ferrous sulfate and calcium should have not given at the same time to Resident 13 and Resident 20. According to Lexicomp (www.[NAME].com), a nationally recognized drug information resource, the concurrent use of calcium and ferrous sulfate led to a drug-drug interaction (DDI) of Risk Rating D, which was a significant interaction and required therapy modification. The effect of the DDI was that the calcium may decrease the absorption of oral preparations of iron salts. It indicated the iron absorption was decreased an average of 60% when given as ferrous sulfate and co-administered with calcium. Lexicomp also indicated to separate the administrations of these medications so it may minimize the potential for significant interaction.

Review of Resident 26's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During an observation and interview with licensed vocational nurse D (LVN D) on 10/9/23 at 11:08 a.m., two 100-milliliters (ml, a metric unit of volume) bottles of normal saline (NS, a 0.9% sterile solution of salt in water) were on Resident 26's bedside table and a medicine cup with white cream in it was on Resident 26's overbed table. Resident 26 stated she was itching in the weekend, and the licensed nurse gave the medicine cup with cream to her for itching. LVN D stated, the two bottles of NS and a cup with itching medication should not have been left in the room with the resident. During an interview with the DON on 10/13/23 at 2:49 p.m., she stated, the two bottles of NS and a cup with itching medication should not have been left in Resident 26's room. Review of the facility's policy, Storage of Medications, dated 4/2008, indicated, Medications and biologicals are stored safely, securely, and properly, following manufacturer's recommendations or those of the supplier. The medication supply is accessible only to licensed nursing personnel, pharmacy personnel, or staff members lawfully authorized. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper medication storage and labeling of medications when: 1. unlabeled, discontinued, and expired medications were not removed from the medication carts to prevent medication errors; 2. medications were not labeled with full names or open date; 3. an insulin glargine injection pen (medication to lower blood sugar) did not have a patient-specific label; 4. two bottles of normal saline, and a cup with itching medication were left inside the resident's room. These deficient practices had the potential for residents, to receive medications with unsafe and reduced potency, from using them past their discard date and medication errors due to medications not being labeled or removed from active stock. Findings: 1. During an inspection of medication cart one on 10/9/2023 at 12:40 p.m., with the Nurse Supervisor (NS), the NS confirmed the following findings: a) an Enoxaparin sodium (anticoagulant medication) injection 40mg (milligram, a unit of measurement of mass )/0.4ml (milliliter, a metric unit of volume) without label of resident information, b) a box of Aspercreme Lidocaine (pain medication) pain relief cream without label of resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055517 If continuation sheet Page 12 of 21 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055517 B.
