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 document review, the facility failed to complete the post fall
neuro-checks at the specific time frames as per the facility's 72 hours Neuro-check Monitoring process for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential for Resident 1 to experience
medical complications which could go unnoticed post fall.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's 72 hours Neuro-check Monitoring showed the neuro-checks must be monitored
every 30 min for two times, every hour for three times, every two hours for two times, every four hours for
four times, and every eight hours for six times.
Medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted on 6/4/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, OPD, lack of coordination, difficulty in walking,
cognitive communication deficits, muscle weakness, and osteoarthritis.
Review of Resident 1's progress note dated 5/31/24 at 0300 hours, showed Resident 1 fell from his
wheelchair and hit his left hip on the floor.
Review of Resident 1's neuro-check report dated 5/31/24, showed the neuro-checks were monitored at
0300, 0330, 0630, 0930, and 1230 hours.
Further review of the medical record showed the resident was transferred to the acute care hospital on
5/31/24 at 1250 hours.
On 6/5/24 at 0840 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 1.
When asked about the facility's protocol after the resident having a fall, LVN 1 stated the nurse would need
to assess the resident, do the neuro-checks for 72 hours, and complete the change of condition's fall risk
assessment, progress notes, and care plan. LVN 1 verified the neuro-checks for Resident 1 were completed
on the following dates and times:
- 5/31/24 at 0300 hours
- 5/31/24 at 0330 hours
- 5/31/24 at 0630 hours

Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
Residents Affected - Some
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to ensure the accuracy of medication administration documented on the MAR for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure posed the risk of having error in medical care and delay in
treatment.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration General Guidelines revised 1/2019 showed the
individual who administers the medication dose records the administration on the resident's MAR directly
after the medication is given and when PRN medications are administered, date and time of administration,
dose, route of administration, complaint and results achieved from giving the dose are documented.
Medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted on 6/4/24.
Review of the nurses' notes dated 5/31/24 at 1104 hours, show the resident had a new order for Norco 10
mg/325 mg one time for severe pain.
Review of the E-kit log dated 5/31/24, showed Norco 10 mg/325 mg was taken out from the E-kit on
5/31/24 at 1110 hours.
However, review of Resident 1's MAR for May 2024 showed Norco 10 mg/325 mg was administered to
Resident 1 on 5/31/24 at 1230 hours.
On 6/5/24 at 0840 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated at 0830 hours, the assigned
nurse followed up and documented the resident's pain scale of 10 (on a pain scale of 0 to 10 with 0 = no
pain and 10 = worst pain). The assigned nurse notified the doctor and received an order for Norco10
mg/325 mg (narcotic pain medication). LVN 1 checked the MAR and stated Norco 10 mg/325 mg was given
at 1230 hours.
On 6/5/24 at 1237 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the assigned morning
nurse had received the order for Norco 10 mg/325 mg at 1100 hours. The assigned nurse took the
medication from the E-kit at 1110 hours and gave the medication to Resident 1 right away. However, the
assigned nurse was busy and did not document the pain medication administration until 1230 hours. The
DON also stated the MAR showing the Norco 10 mg/325 mg given at 1230 hours, was incorrect. The DON
confirmed the assigned nurse should have documented it right away after giving the medication to the
resident at 1110 hours.
