F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. 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 ensure one of sevensampled residents (Residents 6) could self-administer the medications safely. Residents Affected - Few * Resident 6 had a bottle of sealed Motrin (medication to relieve pain) 200 mg, a plastic medication cup containing one tablet of Oscal 500/200 with vitamin D (supplement), and two capsules of Docu Soft (stool softener) 100 mg inside the drawer of Resident 6's bedside table for self-administration. Resident 6 was not assessed for self-administration of medications. This failure had the potential to negatively impact the resident's physiological well-being, and administer the medications inaccurately. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Self Administration of Medications (undated) showed the residents have the rights to self-administer themedications if the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is clinically appropriate and safe for the residents to do so. If it is deemed safe and appropriate for the residents to self-administer the medications, this is documented in their medical records and care plans. The decision that the residents can safely self-administer the medications are re-assessed periodically based on changes in the residents' medical and/or decision-making status. Self-administered medications are stored in a safe and secure place, which is not accessible by other residents.

Resident 6 stated the green tablet was calcium and the two red ones were for her bowels. Resident 6 stated she knew the licensed nurse had to be present to make sure she took all of her medications; however, Resident 6 stated she did not want to take the medications all at once. Resident 6 stated she placed her medications inside the drawer underneath the bedside table after the licensednurse left the room. During the observation and concurrent interview with Resident 6 and with the DSD, one bottle of sealed Motrin 200 mg was also observed inside Resident 6's drawer underneath the bedside table. The DSD verified the findings and stated Resident 6 needed to be assessed to self-administer the Motrin, needed a physician's order for the medication, and could not keep the Motrin in the drawer at this time per thefacility's policy. Medical record review for Resident 6 was initiated on 8/7/24. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 6's H&P examination dated 11/25/23, showed Resident 6 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
