Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the informed consents
were obtained for the use of psychotropic medications for one of five final sampled residents (Resident 147)
reviewed for informed consents (Resident 147).
Residents Affected - Few
* There were no informal consents prior to administering olanzapine (antipsychotic medication), quetiapine
(antipsychotic medication), and valproic acid (mood stabilizer medication) to Resident 147. This failure had
the potential for the resident to be unaware of the risks associated with the medications which could have
adverse side effects detrimental to the resident's well-being.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use dated 6/2021 showed the following:
- The informed consent will be obtained by the Prescriber prior to initiation of psychotropic medication; and
- The facility shall verify informed consent prior to the administration of a psychotropic medication for a
resident.
Medical record review for Resident 147 was initiated on 2/27/25. Resident 147 was readmitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 147's H&P examination dated 1/15/25, showed the resident had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 147's Order Summary Report dated 2/27/25, showed the following:
- olanzapine oral tablet 10 mg one tablet via GT every 12 hours for psychosis manifested by
hallucinations/striking out for no apparent reason;
- quetiapine fumarate tablet 100 mg one tablet via GT every 12 hours for psychosis manifested by constant
yelling for no apparent reason causing distress; and
- valproic acid oral solution 500 mg/10 ml 10 ml via GT two times a day for mood lability manifested by
sudden angry outburst.
On 2/27/25 at 1112 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with LVN

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to maintain a copy of an advance
directive in the medical record for one of five final sampled residents (Resident 184) reviewed for advance
directives. This failure had the potential for Resident 184's decisions regarding his healthcare and treatment
options to not be honored.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Advance Directive dated 3/23/22, showed at the time of admission, the
admission Staff or designee will inquire about the existence of an Advance Directive. A copy of the Advance
Directive is maintained as part of the resident's medical record. Further review of the P&P showed if the
resident has an Advanced Directive, admission staff or designee will place a copy or scan of the Advanced
Directive in the residence medical record and will notify the director of social services of the existence of
the Advanced Directive.
Medical record review for Resident 184 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 184 was readmitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 184's POLST dated 7/23/24, showed Resident 184 had an advance directive.
Review of Resident 184's H&P examination dated 2/17/25, showed Resident 184 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 184's Social Service assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 184 had an advance
directive and the facility did not have a copy of the Advance Directive in the medical record.
Review of Resident 184's medical record failed to show a copy of the advance directive was maintained in
Resident 184's medical record. Further review of Resident 184's medical record failed to show documented
evidence if the copy of the Advance Directive was requested from Resident 184 or the resident's
representative.
On 2/26/25 at 1421 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 184 was
conducted with the SSA. The SSA verified there was no copy of Resident 184's advance directive in the
medical record nor was it uploaded to Resident 184's EHR. The SSA stated she was not able to find
documentation the residents and/or the resident's family member or representative were asked to bring a
copy of the Advance Directive. The SSA stated if the resident had an advance directive, the facility would
ask for a copy of the advance directive; and the social services would have to follow up right away if the
resident or resident's representative could not provide a copy of the advance directive. The SSA stated they
would have to document any follow up done by the facility regarding Resident 184's advance directives. The
SSA could not provide documentation for following up on Resident 184's advance directive.
On 2/27/25 at 1005 hours, DON 1 was informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
ensure the PASRR Level 1 (a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals are not inappropriately
placed in nursing homes for long term care) assessment was coded accurately for two of four final sampled
residents (Residents 132 and 147) reviewed for PASRR. This failure posed the risk of the residents not
receiving specialized care and services appropriate for their condition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled PASRR Completion Policy dated 9/30/24, showed the center will make
sure that all admissions have the appropriate Patient Assessment and Resident Review completed. Further

serious mental illness and no prescribed psychotropic medications for mental illness.
Review of Resident 132's admission Record dated 2/26/25, showed Resident 132 had diagnoses which
included major depressive disorder (persistent low mood and loss of interest in activities), and
schizoaffective disorder.
Further review the resident's medical record showed Resident 132's Order Summary Report dated 2/27/25,
with the following physician's orders:
- dated 12/30/24, to administer quetiapine 25 mg by mouth two times a day for schizoaffective disorder
(mental health condition that affects a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) manifested by physical
agitation without a valid reason; and ,
- dated 2/26/25, to administer lorazepam (antianxiety) 0.5 mg one tablet by mouth every 12 hours as
needed for anxiety, manifested by inability to relax for 14 days.
2. Medical Record review for Resident 147 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 147 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE].
Review of the Resident 147's PASRR Level 1 Screening Form dated 12/20/24, showed Resident 147 had
no serious mental illness and no prescribed psychotropic medications for mental illness.
Review of Resident 147's admission Record dated 2/26/25, showed Resident 147 had diagnoses which
included mood disorder (a type of mental health condition where there is a disconnect between actual life
circumstances and the person's state of mind or feeling), and psychosis.
Furthermore, review of Resident 132's Order Summary Report dated 2/27/25, showed Resident 147 had

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**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 provide the
individualized and ongoing activity program to meet the needs and interests for one of one final sampled
resident (Resident 147) reviewed for activities. This failure had the potential to affect the residents'
psychosocial well-being.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Activities and Social Services (undated) showed the residents are
encouraged to choose the types of recreational, cultural, and religious activities and social events in which
they prefer to participate. The Interdisciplinary Care Team will evaluate the individual's personal history and
preferences and will consider his or her medical condition and prognosis in identifying relevant recreational
and cultural activities. When the care planning team develops the residents' activity and social care plans
the residents will be given an opportunity to choose when, where, and how he or she will participate in
activities and social events. As much as possible the facility will provide activities social events and
schedule that are compatible with the residents' interest, physical and mental assessment, and overall plan
of care.
On 2/25/25 at 0956 hours, 2/26/25 at 1441 hours, and 2/27/25 at 0849 hours and 1349 hours, Resident 147
was observed lying awake in bed and staring at the wall. The television on the nightstand at the right side of
Resident 147's bed was turned off.
Medical record review for Resident 147 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 147 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 147's H&P examination dated 1/15/25, showed Resident 147 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 147's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 147 had a memory problem and severely
impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. Further review of the MDS showed Resident 147 was
dependent on the staff for his activities of daily living.
Review of Resident 147's Recreation Comprehensive assessment dated [DATE], showed it was very
important for Resident 147 to watch or listen to the TV, and for the opportunity to engage in daily routines
that are meaningful relative to his preference. Further review of the Recreation Comprehensive Assessment
showed the section for Preference/Identify Intervention showed it was important for Resident 147 to engage
in his favorite activities, such as watching TV/movies, exercising, listening to music, and spending time with
the family.
Review of Resident 147's Care Plan revised 1/16/25, showed it was important for Resident 147 to have the
opportunity to engage in daily routines that meaningful relative to his preferences and would receive one to
one activity due to his cognitive status. The goal was to engage Resident 147 in one-to-one activities three
times a week. The interventions included Resident 147's preferences such as watching TV/movies by
himself in his bedroom.
Review of Resident 147's Participation Record dated February 2025 showed Resident 147 was mostly
provided with exercise/physical activity/walking, movies/TV, manicure/aroma therapy/massage/painting

On 2/27/25 at 1428 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with the Activity
Director. Resident 147 was observed lying in bed awake and staring at the wall, television was observed
not being on, nor any in-room sensory stimulation was observed. The Activity Director verified the
observation. The Activity Director stated Resident 147 required daily activities and the preferred activity
should have been provided to Resident 147 as identified in the Recreation Comprehensive Assessment.
The Activity Director further stated the facility did not have enough activity staff to provide the daily activities
to the residents, so he scheduled room visits three times a week for Resident 147. When the Activity
Director was asked what kind of activities were provided to Resident 147 when room visits were not
scheduled, he was not able to answer.
On 2/28/25 at 0806 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 3. CNA 3 stated Resident 147 was
dependent on the facility's staff for his activities of the daily living. CNA 3 was asked if the facility provided
any activities to Resident 147. CNA 3 stated Resident 147 was not able to go to the activity room and she
had not seen the facility provided activities to Resident 147 in his room.
On 2/28/25 at 1430 hours, DON 1 and the Administrator were informed and acknowledged the above
findings.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**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 provide the
necessary GT care and services for one of three final sampled residents (Resident 735).
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 735's GT was checked for placement before administration of the
medications and water. In addition, the facility failed to administer each medication and water flushes via
gravity. These failures had the potential for the resident to develop complications related to the GT care and
management, including tube dislodgement, delayed nutritional feeding, and trauma.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Enteral Tube Medication Administration dated 10/2017 showed the
following procedures to verify the tube placement:
- Insert a small amount of air into the tube with the syringe and listen to the stomach with the stethoscope
for gurgling sounds;
- Aspirate the stomach contents with syringe to check for residual feeding.;
- Remove the plunger from the syringe and connect the syringe to the tubing;
- Flush the tube with at least 15 ml of water prior to medication administration; and
- Allow medication to flow down the tube via gravity.
Medical record review for Resident 735 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 735 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 735's H&P examination dated 2/8/25, showed Resident 735 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 735's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 735's BIMS score was 1, indicating the
resident had severely impaired cognition.
Review of Resident 735's Order Summary Report dated 2/25/25, showed an order to check the tube
placement prior to each feeding, flush, or medication administration every shift.
On 2/25/25 at 0848 hours, a concurrent medication administration observation and interview was
conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 connected the syringe to Resident 735's GT and aspirated for residual;
however, LVN 3 did not check the GT placement. LVN 3 verified she did not check the GT placement and
stated she would check it later. LVN 3 continued to administer each of the medication, water flushes into the
GT by pushing the syringe's plunger, and not via gravity. LVN 3 verified she should have administered the
medications and water flushes via gravity and should not have pushed them with the syringe's plunger.

Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to
maintain the intravenous accesses and properly provide IV care for three of three final sampled residents
(Residents 184, 733, and 983) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 932).
Residents Affected - Some
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 932's IV tubing was free from air bubbles prior to administration.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 184's midline (a long, thin, flexible tube inserted into a large vein in
the upper arm used to deliver fluids and medications into the bloodstream) dressing was dated and labeled.
In addition, the facility failed to ensure Resident 184's midline was maintained to prevent possible
complications.
* The facility failed to discontinue Resident 983's PIV line after the antibiotic therapy was completed. In
addition, the facility failed to ensure there were physician's orders for the PIV maintenance.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 733's PIV site was dated and labeled.
These failures posed the risk to develop complications to the residents related to the use of the peripheral
IV catheter.
Findings:

1 stated Resident 27 was receiving oxycodone HCl 30 mg routinely before the resident was transferred to
the acute care hospital on 1/2/25. DON 1 further stated when the resident returned to the facility from the
acute care hospital on 1/5/25, the ordered dose of the oxycodone HCl was decreased to 15 mg tablet. DON
1 reviewed the controlled medication count sheets and stated the nursing staff must have handwritten a
new count sheet for the lower 15 mg dose of the medication when the resident returned to the facility. DON
1 verified the handwritten count sheet had the wrong tablet strength of 1 mg tablets instead of 30 mg
tablets. DON 1 stated when the 30 mg tablets were cut in half, two nurses should have wasted the other
half, instead of saving it until the next scheduled dose administration. DON 1 verified the record failed to
show two nurses had signed the medication wastage for the above dates and times.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to provide the pharmaceutical services to ensure accurate reconciliation of the controlled
medications for three of 35 final sampled residents (Residents 27 and 40) and one of six medication carts
(Medication Cart A). In addition, the facility failed to provide the medications and/or biologicals, as ordered
by the prescriber, to meet the needs of one of 35 final sampled residents (Resident 735).
* The facility failed to ensure the administration of the controlled medications for Residents 40 were
accurately reconciled and documented in the MAR.
* The facility failed to ensure the apical pulse for Resident 735 was obtained before administration of
Digoxin medication (a cardiac glycoside medication used to control some heart problems, such as irregular
heartbeats including atrial fibrillation) as per the physician's order.
* The facility failed to ensure the Narcotic Shift Count/IV/PO/E-kit Log for Medication Cart A was completed
every shift.
* Resident 27's oxycodone HCl (a Schedule II controlled medication) controlled medication count sheet was
not maintained accurately for medication reconciliation.
These failures posed the risk for diversion of controlled medications resulting in poor residents' outcome.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Controlled Medications dated 4/2008 showed the following:
- When a controlled medication is administered, the licensed nurse administering the medication
immediately enters the following information on the accountability record and the medication administration
record (MAR):
a. Date and time of administration;
b. Amount administered;
c. Signature of the nurse administering the dose on the accountability record at the time the medication is

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the FDA Prescribing Information for quetiapine fumarate (antipsychotic) showed the most common adverse
reactions are dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia (indigestion), sedation, somnolence, dizziness, and
orthostatic hypotension.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Blood Pressure, Measuring revised 9/2010 showed the steps for the blood
pressure reading procedure as follows:
- Close the valve on the air pump
- With your second and third finger of one hand, locate the brachial pulse at the bend in the elbow.
- When you locate the pulsation, place the diaphragm of the stethoscope firmly against the skin. Hold the
diaphragm in place with your hand.
- With your free hand, pump air into the cuff by squeezing the bulb until you can no longer hear the
pulsation. (Note: You must be watching the mercury level on the manometer while you are pumping the air
in the cuff.)
- When you hear the last pulsation sound, loosen the thumbscrew slowly to let the air out. Watch the
mercury reading on the manometer. Listen for the first sound. Note the number. This will be the top
(systolic) reading.
- Continue to listen for the pulsation sound and watch the mercury reading on the manometer. When you
hear the last should, note the number. This will be the lower (diastolic) reading.
- Record the blood pressure on the paper.
- To measure orthostatic blood pressure, repeat steps eight through 14 immediately after helping the
resident to a standing position. Not the changes in both the systolic and diastolic measurements compared
to the reading while the resident was in a seated position.
Medical record review for Resident 146 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 146 was readmitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 146's Order Summary Report dated 2/26/25, showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 10/25/24, to administer quetiapine fumarate oral tablet 50 mg one tablet via GT two times a day for
psychosis manifested by yelling out for no apparent reason.
- dated 1/19/25, to monitor the orthostatic blood pressure while (lying/sitting) every evening shift every
Saturday for lying; and to notify the MD for a decline of greater than 19 mmHg in systolic blood pressure or
greater than 9 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure after at least three minutes of

Review of Resident 146's MAR for February 2025 showed Resident 146 was administered quetiapine
fumarate 50 mg two times a day from 2/1/25 through 2/25/25.
Review of Resident 146's MAR for January 2025 and February 2025 showed the orthostatic blood
pressures (lying and sitting) were scheduled to be monitored every Saturday. However, the blood pressure
readings were documented as follows:
- dated 1/4/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 108/51 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions;
- dated 1/11/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 157/70 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions;
- dated 1/18/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 118/63 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions;
- dated 1/25/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 134/71 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions;
- dated 2/1/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 105/61 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions;
- dated 2/8/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 128/70 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions; and
- dated 2/15/25, the blood pressure readings were recorded as 148/64 mmHg for the lying and sitting
positions.
On 2/27/25 at 1055 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 146 was
conducted with LVN 13. LVN 13 verified Resident 146 was being administered quetiapine fumarate
medication and monitored for orthostatic hypotension for the use of the quetiapine fumarate medication.
LVN 13 stated the process for taking the orthostatic blood pressures reading was to check the blood
pressures when lying and sitting, and would check for a significant drop in the systolic blood pressure. LVN
13 stated it was not very likely the numbers would be identical, and the numbers should not match from
lying to sitting. LVN 13 reviewed the medical record for Resident 146 and verified the above findings. LVN
13 stated the numbers should never match and there should be some type of change in the numbers. LVN
13 stated the numbers looked incorrect and verified there was no documented evidence to tell if Resident
146 had orthostatic hypotension or not.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of five
final sampled residents (Residents 146 and 147) reviewed for unnecessary medications were monitored for
the use of psychotropic medications.

The following was identified during the medication administration observation with a concurrent interview
with LVN 3:
a. LVN 3 administered the crushed metoprolol tartrate, multivitamin with minerals, eliquis, vitamin D, and
docusate sodium via GT. There was medication residue observed inside each of the medication cup after
the administration was completed. LVN 3 verified the above findings.
b. Review of Resident 735's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 2/8/25, to administer
Keppra 500 mg one tablet via GT two time as day for seizure prophylaxis. LVN 3 failed to administer the
correct ordered physician's dosage form for Keppra when LVN 3 administered Keppra solution instead of
Keppra tablet via GT to Resident 735.
On 2/25/25 at 1223 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 verified the above findings. LVN 3
stated she was supposed to update the order in EHR upon receiving a different medication form from the
pharmacy.
2. Medical record review for Resident 932 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 932 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 932's H&P examination dated 2/28/25, showed Resident 932 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 932's Order Listing Report dated 2/25/24, showed an order for piperacillin
sodium-tazobactam (Zosyn, antibiotic) Solution Reconstituted 3-0.375 gm 3.375 gm intravenously every
eight hours for UTI until 2/26/25.
On 2/25/25 at 1452 hours, a concurrent medication administration observation and interview was
conducted with RN 1. RN 1 prepared the Zosyn IV antibiotic medication and primed the IV tubing. After RN
1 primed the IV tubing, multiple air bubbles were observed in the tubing. RN 1 stated she was ready to
administer the Zosyn IV medication and entered Resident 932's room. RN 1 was requested to come out of
Resident 932's room with the Zosyn IV medication. RN 1 was informed there were multiple air bubbles in
the resident's IV tubing. RN 1 verified the findings. RN 1 was asked what her next step would be after
knowing there were multiple air bubbles in the IV tubing. RN 1 stated she could remove the air by priming
the tubing, however it would waste the medication in the tubing. RN 1 attempted to prime the tubing to
remove multiple air bubbles. Furthermore, RN 1 stated she would call another staff for assistance.
On 2/25/25 at 1457 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with the QA RN. The QA
RN was informed of the multiple air bubbles in the resident's IV tubing and verified the findings. The QA RN
was observed tapping the IV tubing to move the air bubbles; however, she was not able to remove the air
bubbles. The QA RN consulted with DON 1. The QA RN stated DON 1 recommended to change the current
IV tubing to a new IV tubing. The QA RN informed RN 1 and RN 1 had agreed.
On 2/25/25 at 1505 hours, a concurrent medication administration observation and interview was
conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated she would change the primed IV tubing of Zosyn to a new tubing. RN 1
was observed disposing the primed IV tubing of Zosyn and replaced the medication with new tubing. RN 1

Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to provide the necessary pharmacy services to ensure proper storage, labeling, and
disposal of the medications.
* The facility failed to ensure the expired medications in Medication Room A's refrigerator were discarded.
In addition, the medication refrigerator's temperature was not maintained within the recommended
temperature.
* The facility failed to ensure the expired oral and external administered medications were discarded in
Medication Room C.
* The facility failed to ensure the expired oral administered medication was discarded in Medication Cart B.
* The facility failed to ensure the expired medication and culture swab kit were removed from the current
treatment supply in Treatment Cart A. In addition, the last drawer of Treatment Cart A was not kept clean.
* The facility failed to ensure the expired medication were removed from the current treatment supply in

These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents' well-being, and the potential for the
medications to lose the stability and effectiveness.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Storage in the Facility (undated) showed the following:
- Orally administered medications are kept separate from externally used medications and treatments such
as suppositories, ointments, creams, vaginal products, etc. Eye medications are stored separately per
facility policy;
- Outdated contaminated, or deteriorated medications, and those in containers that are cracked, soiled, or
without closures are immediately removed from inventory, disposed of according to procedures for
medication disposal and reordered from the pharmacy. Medication storage areas are kept clean, well-lit,
and free of clutter and extreme temperatures and humidity; and
- Medications requiring refrigeration are kept in a refrigerator at temperatures between two degrees Celsius
(36 degrees Fahrenheit) and eight degrees Celsius (46 degrees Fahrenheit) with a thermometer to allow
temperature monitoring.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**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
medical records for two of 35 final sampled residents (Residents 132 and 184) were complete.
* The facility failed to document the administration of the piperacillin-tazobactam medication for Resident
184.
* Resident 132's MAR had missing documentation on 1/13/25, for the evening shift.
These failures had the potential for the residents' care needs not being met as the clinical information was
not complete.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration - General Guidelines dated 10/2017 showed
under the section for Documentation, the individual who administers the medication dose records the
administration on the resident's MAR directly after the medication is given. At the end of the medication
pass, the person administering the medication reviews the MAR to ensure necessary doses were
administered and documented. In no case should the individual who administer the medication report
off-duty without first recording the administration of any medication.
Medical record review for Resident 184 was initiated on 2/25/25. Resident 184 was readmitted to the facility
on [DATE].

readmitted to the facility on [DATE] at 1610 hours, and would be on piperacillin- tazobactam until 3/29/25.
Review of Resident 184's Physician Order Summary dated 2/28/25, showed an order dated 2/17/25, for
piperacillin- tazobactam in dextrose (glucose) IV solution 3-0.375 gm/50 ml intravenously every eight hours
for foot infection.
Review of Resident 184's MAR for February 2025 showed the order for the piperacillin- tazobactam in
dextrose IV solution 3-0.375 gm/50 ml intravenously every eight hours for foot infection until 3/29/25, to run

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
appropriate infection control practices designed to provide the safe and sanitary environment were
implemented for two of 35 final sampled residents (Resident 184 and 735) and four nonsampled residents
(Residents 64, 118, 151, and 932)
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure LVN 2 wore proper PPE when administering medication for Resident 184 who
had a midline catheter.
* The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene was performed during medication administration to
Resident 151.
* The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene was performed during medication administration to
Resident 735.
* The facility failed to ensure the Zosyn (antibiotic) vial's septum was disinfected before connecting to the
normal saline mini-bag IV solution for Resident 932.
* Residents 64 and 118's shared restroom had a strong foul odor and the toilet rim had dried yellow urine.
These failures posed the risk for transmission of disease-causing microorganisms and infections and
incorrect notification of infection control practices.
Findings:
Review of the CMS's QSO-24-08-NH Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Nursing Homes dated 3/20/24, and
effective 4/1/24, showed Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) refer to an infection control intervention
designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove
use during high contact resident care activities. The QSO further showed EBP recommendations now
include use of EBP for the residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices during high-contact
resident care activities regardless of their multidrug-resistant organism status. Indwelling medical device
examples include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Enhanced Standard/ Barrier Precautions revised 2/21/25, showed it is the
policy of the facility to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions for the prevention of transmission of multi
drug -resistant organism. The P&P showed EBP refer to an infection control intervention designed to
reduce transmission of multi drug resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and gloves used during
high contact resident care activities. Further review of the P&P showed the residents that will benefit with
EBP were those with the indwelling medical devices (e.g. central lines, urinary catheter, feeding tubes
.midline catheter {a long, thin, flexible tube that's inserted into a large vein in the upper arm. It's used to
deliver fluids and medications into the bloodstream}) even if the resident is not known to be infected or
colonized with MDRO.
1.a. On 2/25/25 at 0930 hours, Resident 184 was observed lying in his bed and receiving IV medication
through his midline catheter. There was no EBP sign observed outside the room.
