**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the care
plan was followed for the use of restraints for one of six sampled residents (Resident 6). * The facility failed
to ensure Resident 6's left hand mitten was released every two hours as per the care plan. This failure had
the potential to cause delays in identifying possible health risks associated with the use of hand mitten
restraint including poor circulation and impaired skin integrity. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled
Physical Restraints revised 1/2017 showed if the restraints are utilized, the opportunity for motion and
exercise should be provided for a period of not less than 10 minutes during two hour period in which
restraints are utilized. Medical record review for Resident 6 was initiated on 1/28/26. Resident 6 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report showed a physician's
order dated 3/10/25, to apply left hand mitten necessity due to persistent pulling out of GT. Review of
Resident 6's care plan for usage of the left hand mittens or persistent pulling out of GT initiated 3/10/25 and
revised 11/9/25, showed interventions including the application of the left hand mitten to prevent pulling out
the tube and release every two hours for circulation and comfort for 15 minutes. Review of Resident 6's
MAR for March 2025 showed the left hand mitten placement was monitored every shift on 3/10 - 3/31/25.
Review of Resident 6's medical record failed to show documented evidence Resident 6's left hand mitten
restraint was released every two hours for skin integrity and circulation. On 1/30/26 at 1100 hours, an
interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 6 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated the
facility protocol for the use of hand mitten restraint was to remove the hand mitten every two hours and
check for circulation and skin condition. RN 1 verified Resident 6 did not have an order to monitor
circulation and skin condition every 2 hours. RN 1 further verified there was no documentation to show
whether Resident 6's hand mittens were released every two hours to monitor for circulation and comfort. On
1/30/26 at 1315 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator. The Administrator was informed
and acknowledged the above findings.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to provide the pharmaceutical services to one of six sampled residents (Resident 1) as ordered by
the physician. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 1's Refresh Plus (eye lubricant), Timoptic ophthalmic
solution (a prescription eye drop used to lower high fluid pressure within the eye) and Lumify (an eye drop
used to reduce eye redness) were available for administration as ordered by the physician. In addition, the
facility failed to ensure Resident 1's physician was made aware when the medications were not available for
administration. These failures had the potential to affect resident's health status and wellbeing.Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration revised 5/2019 showed it is the policy of the
facility that medications for residents be administrated in a safe and timely manner and as prescribed.
Medications must be administered in accordance with the physician orders, including any required time
frame.Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 1/15/26. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] and readmitted to facility on 3/13/25 with medical history including glaucoma. Review of Resident
1's H&P examination dated 3/15/25, showed Resident 1 had no capacity to understand and make
decisions. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders:- dated
3/29/25, to administer Refresh Plus ophthalmic solution one drop in both eyes every two hours for dry eyes,
ocular surface irritation;- dated 6/27/25, to administer Timoptic Ophthalmic solution (timolol) one drop in
both eyes two times a day for uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma; and- dated 7/30/25, to administer
Lumify ophthalmic solution (brimonidine tartrate) one drop in both eyes two times a day for ocular
hyperemia (red eye). Review of Resident 1's MAR showed the following medications were not administered
on the following dates:- dated 3/29/25, Refresh Plus administration was coded 5 (indicating hold/see
progress notes) at 1600 hours and coded 4 (indicating the vitals were outside of the parameters for
administration) at 2000 hours. However, the administration progress note failed to show the reason why the
medication was not administered and what parameters of administration.- dated 6/1/25, Refresh Plus was
not administered 12 times from 0000 to 2200 hours. Further review of the MAR progress note showed
awaiting medication from pharmacy. In addition, review of the nursing progress note dated 6/1/25, showed
that pharmacy was contacted and requested for refill; however, there was no documentation if the physician
was informed regarding multiple missed doses.- dated 6/2/25, Refresh Plus was not administered nine
times from 0000 to 1600 hours. Further review of the MAR progress note showed awaiting medication from
pharmacy.- dated 8/11/25, Timoptic ophthalmic solution administration for 1700 hours was coded 9
(indicating to see the progress note). However, reviewed of the administration progress note failed to show
a reason why the medication was not administered - dated 9/3/25, Timoptic ophthalmic solution
administration for 1700 hours was coded 9 (indicating to see the progress note). Review of the
administration progress note showed awaiting for delivery.- dated 10/15/25, Lumify ophthalmic solution
administration for 0900 hours was coded 9 (indicating to see progress note). Review of the nursing
progress note showed three nursing documentation indicating that follow up phone calls were made with
the pharmacy; however, pharmacy does not have stock of Lumify medication. On 1/27/26 at 1500 hours, an
interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 acknowledged the above
findings and stated it was the responsibility of the charge nurse to submit a request for refill five days before
the medication runs out. RN 1 further stated the physician should have also been notified when the
medication was not administered as ordered. On 1/30/26 at 1315 hours, an interview was conducted with
