Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident 1), in a sample of
3, received quality care in accordance with professional standards of practice when the facility did not
initiate and monitor essential laboratory values based on alerts of drug interactions for medications
Resident 1 was receiving.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure was a factor in Resident 1's transfer to the hospital with acute kidney failure, hyperkalemia (high
blood potassium-a mineral that is needed by all tissues in the body), and dehydration, and had the potential
to negatively impact Resident 1's health and well-being.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 1 was admitted mid 2023 with diagnoses
which included acute pulmonary edema (fluid on the lungs), and heart failure.
A review of Resident 1's physician's order, dated 7/4/23, indicated, Furosemide Tablet [a water pill used to
treat edema-excessive fluid accumulation] 40 MG Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours for LOWER
EXTREMITIES [legs] EDEMA for 30 days.
A review of Resident 1's physicians order, dated 7/4/23, indicated, Potassium Chloride ER [extended
release] Tablet Extended Release 20 MEQ [milliequivalents - a unit of measure] Give 1 tablet by mouth
every 12 hours .
A review of Resident 1's physician's order, dated 7/4/23, indicated, Benazepril [blood pressure medication]
HCl [hydrochloride - common salt used in drugs] Tablet 10 MG [milligrams - a unit of measure] Give 1 tablet
by mouth one time a day for Hypertension [high blood pressure] .
A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, Progress Notes, dated 7/4/23, indicated, .The order you
have entered Potassium Chloride ER Tablet Extended Release 20 MEQ Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12
hours .Drug to Drug Interaction .Benazepril HCl Tablet 10 MG .Interaction: Hyperkalemia may occur with
the combination of .products. Serum [blood] potassium concentrations should be monitored.
A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, Progress Notes, dated 7/18/23, indicated, .The order you
have entered Potassium Chloride ER Tablet Extended Release 20 MEQ Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12
hours .Drug to Drug Interaction .Benazepril HCl Tablet 10 MG .Interaction: Hyperkalemia may occur with
the combination of .products. Serum potassium [lab] concentrations should be monitored.
During a telephone interview with Family Member (FM) 1, on 8/15/23, at 8:47 AM, FM 1 explained Resident
1 was on furosemide and potassium, and the facility had not done lab work to see what her

levels were. FM 1 indicated Resident 1 was transferred to the hospital, and explained when she called the
ER for an update, the ER physician indicated Resident 1's potassium level was very high, she was in renal
failure, and dehydrated.
During an interview with LN 4, on 8/17/23, at 4:05 PM, LN 4 stated when a resident was on furosemide and
potassium, intake, and output (I&O) were monitored to make sure the resident was not dehydrated. LN 4
explained if there was a progress note warning of an interaction between medications, nursing staff should
notify the physician (MD).
During an interview with Nurse Practitioner (NP) 1, on 8/25/23, at 2:23 PM, NP 1 stated when a resident
was admitted to the facility on furosemide and potassium, blood tests were done to monitor electrolyte
levels (Electrolytes are minerals in the blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge. Electrolytes
affect the body functions). NP 1 stated a lab test known as CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel-includes
electrolyte levels) was normally ordered for every patient. NP 1 further explained if a resident was on
furosemide and potassium, she would order a CMP and draw the labs again in five days, due to furosemide
being a nephrotoxic (rapid deterioration in the kidney function due to toxic effect of medications and
chemicals) drug. NP 1 further stated at least baseline labs should have been drawn for Resident 1 but were
not.
A review of Resident 1's physician's orders for Resident 1 during her stay at the facility, indicated no labs
were ordered and/or drawn.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 8/25/23, at 2:39 PM, the DON stated the
physician should have been contacted regarding the drug interaction between benazepril and potassium
noted in the progress notes on 7/4/23 and 7/18/23. The DON further stated she did not see any lab orders
for Resident 1, and there should have been.
During a follow up interview with the DON, on 8/25/23, at 4 PM, the DON stated the interaction between
benazepril and potassium should have been acted upon. The DON explained the progress note alerts auto
populated when all the MD orders were entered, and it recommended for labs to be done. The DON further
explained usually the labs were drawn, it was unusual that they were not for Resident 1, and stated she
was not sure how they got missed.
During a follow up interview with LN 4, on 8/25/23, at 4:15 PM, LN 4 stated potassium and benazepril can
cause hyperkalemia. LN 4 explained if the progress notes had an alert regarding the interaction and
recommended labs be drawn, staff were supposed to notify the physician.
During an interview with the facility physician (MD) 1, on 8/28/23, at 8:25 AM, MD 1 stated he would
regularly monitor CMP levels for a resident on furosemide, potassium, and benazepril. MD 1 further stated
the furosemide reduced potassium levels, but the benazepril could increase the potassium, so regular
monitoring of labs was important. MD 1 explained when a resident was fluid restricted, 1200 to 1500 ml/day
[milliliters - a unit of measure] and on Furosemide, labs were monitored in case the sodium level dropped.
MD 1 further explained the resident's creatinine could go up causing electrolyte abnormalities and if the
resident's intake was inadequate, they could become dehydrated. MD 1 stated normally pharmacy would
notify the physicians of alerts for medication interactions.
During an interview with NP 2, on 8/28/23, at 1:21 PM, NP 2 stated if there was a progress note alert
regarding the interaction between benazepril and other medications, she would expect staff to notify her.

A review of Resident 1's clinical record from the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) titled, Depart
Summary, dated 7/23/23, at 5:50 PM, indicated Resident 1 was transported to the hospital via ambulance
on 7/23/24.
A review of Resident 1's clinical record from the GACH titled, admission H&P [history and physical] EMR
[electronic medical record], dated 7/23/23, at 8:24 PM, indicated, .[Resident 1] was visited by her family at
the rehab center earlier today, who felt that she was not being well cared for and were concerned for her
lack of appetite and intake .multiple acute problems were revealed. These included .acute renal failure with
a BUN of 156 and a creatinine [test is done to see how well your kidneys work], of 5.1 (compared to 15 and
0.7 on July 4, 2003 [sic], respectively), hyperkalemia with potassium 5.7, sodium 128 .Severe dehydration:
This is likely related to multiple factors .Her decreased oral intake was related to a bad taste in her mouth,
and feeling of nausea and gagging when presented with food odors. This may actually be a result of her
renal failure .It appears likely her renal failure, is secondary to extreme dehydration .Hyperkalemia .likely
secondary to [Resident 1's] renal failure and continued use of potassium supplement .Hyponatremia .likely
now due to extreme hypovolemia [a state of low fluid volume, generally secondary to combined sodium and
water loss] and diuretic [medications, such as furosemide, that reduce fluid buildup in the body] use .
A review of the facility document titled, Reconciliation of Medications on Admission, revised July 2017,
indicated, .Review the list carefully to determine if there are discrepancies/conflicts .There is a potential
medication interaction between a medication from the admitting orders and a supplement from the
resident's medication history .If there is a discrepancy or conflict in medications .determine the most
appropriate action to resolve the discrepancy .Contact the admitting and/or Attending Physician .
