Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled
residents (Resident 43) was free of significant medication errors when the Amiodarone HCL ( anti
arrhythmic-a type of drug that is used to help the heart stay in a normal rhythm) and Keppra (antiepilepticsa type of drug that is used to prevent or treat seizures) medications for Resident 43 were not entirely
administered via gastrostomy tube (G-tube- a tube inserted through the wall of the abdomen directly into
the stomach).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted for Resident 43 not to receive an accurate dosage and full therapeutic effect of the
medications which could potentially lead to more serious medical complications.
Findings:
A Review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report active orders as of 5/16/23, indicated an order on 2/6/23
for Amiodarone HCL 50 milligram (mg- a measure of weight) once a day for Cardiac Arrythmia (irregular
heartbeat) and Keppra tablet 500 mg twice a day to be administered via G-tube for Epilepsy (a brain
disorder that causes seizure).
During the medication administration observation on 5/16/23, at 8:50 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN1) prepared and crushed 50 mg of Amiodarone tablet and 500 mg of Keppra tablet medications one at
a time and put in an individual medication cup for Resident 43. LVN1 diluted each crushed medication with
20 to 30 cubic centimeters (cc-a measure of volume in the metric system) of water in each cup. LVN1
checked the placement of the G-tube and the gastric residual. LVN1 then proceeded to flush Resident 43's
G-tube with 130 cc of water and started to pour the diluted medications via G-tube. LVN1 was observed
flushing 20 cc of water after each medication administration via G-tube. After providing the medications, it
was observed there were medication particles left in the cup of Amiodarone and Keppra medications. LVN1
then proceeded to discard the cups still with medication particles
During an interview with the LVN 1 on 5/16/23, at 9:10 AM, LVN 1 verified and acknowledged that there
were medication particles left in the Amiodarone and Keppra's medication cups after she administered the
medications via G-tube. LVN1 stated she should have diluted the medication particles left in the cup with
water and should have given to Resident 43 before discarding the cups. The LVN1 added she should have
ensured there were no particles left in the medication cup which have altered the dosages of Amiodarone
and Keppra medications administered to Resident 43.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 5/17//23 at 10:30 AM, the DON stated, her
expectations for the nurses during medications administration via G-tube included ensuring the right
medication, correct dosage, administered at the right time, the right route and right resident. The DON
stated when providing medications via G-tube, it is important to provide the crushed and liquid medications
entirely. The DON added if there were particles left in the medication cup, it means the medication dosage
was not fully given. The DON stated the dosage would not be accurate and would not have the full
therapeutic effect of the medications.

dated 4/2008, indicated The facility assures the safe and effective administration of enteral formulas and
