Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
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 provide the necessary care
and services for one of two sampled residents (Resident 2) to help attain and maintain their highest
practicable physical well-being.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 2's Senna (stool softener), enoxaparin (anticoagulant medication),
acetaminophen (analgesic), gabapentin (anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication) and nystatin
suspension (antifungal medication) were administered as per the physician's order. This failure had the
potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being.
Findings:
Review of facility's P&P titled Administering Medications revised 4/2019 showed the medications are
administered in a safe and timely manner and as prescribed. If a drug is withheld, refused, or given at a
time other than scheduled time, the individual administering the medication shall initial and circle the MAR
space provided for that drug and dose. The individual administering the medication initials the resident's
MAR on the appropriate line after giving each medication and before the next ones.
Review of Resident 2's medical record was initiated on 11/8/24. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 2's MDS admission assessment dated [DATE], showed the resident's BIMS score of
14, indicating the resident's cognition was intact.
Review of Resident 2's physician's order for 10/10/24 to 11/08/24, showed the following orders:
- dated 10/17/24, Senna 8.6 mg one tablet by mouth at bedtime for bowel management (hold for loose
stools).
- dated 10/10/24, enoxaparin sodium injection solution prefilled syringe 80 mg/0.8 ml subcutaneously every
12 hours for DVT.
- dated 10/17/24, acetaminophen 500 mg two tablets by mouth every eight hours for pain management, not
to exceed 3 gm of APAP (same as acetaminophen) in 24 hours.
- dated 10/10/2024, gabapentin 300 mg one capsule by mouth three times a day for neuropathic (known as
nerve pain, is a type of chronic pain caused by damage or disease to the nervous system) pain

swish and swallow four times a day for mouth fungal or yeast infection for 10 days.
Further review of the MAR failed to show documentation if the medications were held for any reason.
Further review of Resident 2's MAR showed Resident 2 had a pain level of 6 (on a 0 to 10 pain scale with 0
= no pain and 10 = worst pain) on 10/20/24 at 2300 hours. Resident 2 was given hydromorphone
hydrochloride (opioid) 2 mg one tablet by mouth for moderate pain.
On 11/8/24 at 1028 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 2. Resident 2 stated she did not
receive her enoxaparin sodium injection and some other medications for pain for a couple of times.
Resident 2 stated she notified a nurse and was told the medications were supposed to be given on time
and the resident could not get the medication if beyond the scheduled time. Resident 2 further stated she
suffered a lot of pain when she did not get her medications and had to ask for stronger pain medication.
On 11/8/24 at 1224 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with the DON.
The DON verified the above medications were not initialed in the MAR. The DON verified the above
medications were not administered as ordered. The DON stated the medications were expected to be
administered as ordered by the physician.
On 11/12/24 at 1320 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 stated she had very
little time to give the medications. The medications might had been given but not documented. LVN 3 stated
she could not prove the medications were given because they were not initialed in the MAR. LVN 3 further
stated if the resident refused the medications, she would document of the resident's refusal and inform the
RN supervisor or the desk nurse.
On 11/12/24 at 1414 hours, a telephone interview with LVN 4 was conducted. LVN 4 confirmed she worked
as the desk nurse on 10/20/24. LVN 4 stated when she administered medication, she would pour the
medications as scheduled, give the medications to the resident, then document the medications as
administered. LVN 4 stated she did not receive any report on 10/20/24, that Resident 2 refused to take
