Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that Resident 19 was administered an
inhaler without following manufacturer's instructions to meet Professional Standards of Care.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in and had the potential for the medication to be ineffective for all residents that were
ordered an inhaler routinely or as needed (prn).
Findings:
During a review of a policy revised 10/2021, titled, Administering Medications through a Metered Dose
Inhaler, indicated the purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the safe administration of
inhaled medications. This policy indicated to explain the procedure to the resident. Administer the
medication as follows: Shake the inhaler gently to mix the medication ., remove the cap from the
mouthpiece, ask the resident to inhale and exhale deeply for a few breath cycles, on the last cycle, instruct
the resident to exhale deeply. Instruct the resident to close his or her lips to form a seal .depress the
medication .instruct the resident to inhale deeply and hold for several seconds. Rinse the mouthpiece with
warm water.
During a review of a record not dated, titled, Albuterol Inhaler Instructions For Use, indicated the following:
Shake the inhaler hard 10 to 15 times before each use. Breathe out all the way. Try to push out as much air
as you can. Breathe in slowly, Hold the inhaler with the mouthpiece down. Place your lips around the
mouthpiece so that you form a tight seal. As you start to slowly breathe in through your mouth, press down
on the inhaler one time. Keep breathing in slowly, as deeply as you can. Hold your breath, Take the inhaler
out of your mouth. If you can, hold your breath as you slowly count to 10. This lets the medicine reach deep
into your lungs. Pucker your lips and breathe out slowly through your mouth. If you are using inhaled,
(beta-agonists), wait 1 to 2 minutes before you take your next puff. You do not need to wait between puffs
for other medicines. Put the cap back on the mouthpiece and make sure it is firmly closed. After using your
inhaler, rinse your mouth with water, gargle, and spit. Do not swallow the water. This helps reduce side
effects from your medicine.
A review of Resident 19's clinical record indicated Resident 19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, a progressive lung disease),
muscle weakness, hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood), heart disease and depressive episodes
(constant feelings of sadness, loss of interest in doing activities). This record also indicated Resident 19 is
his own responsible party (able to make medical decisions).
During a review of Resident 19's medical record a document dated 1/9/25, titled, Active Orders, indicated
Albuterol Sulfate 90 micrograms (Mcg, a unit of measurement) one puff every 4 hours inhalation as needed
for wheezing.
During an observation on 1/9/25 at 7:20 am, Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 handed the inhaler medication
albuterol 90 mcg to Resident 19 as ordered, and did not provide any instructions for Resident 19 for
breathing techniques for effectiveness and per manufacturer's guidelines as follows: Before you breathe in
your dose from the inhaler, breathe out (exhale) as long as you can, inhale one puff of the albuterol inhaler,
remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or for as long as
comfortable for you. Breathe out slowly as long as you can.

prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to document behaviors for an antipsychotic (medication used
for moods and behaviors to treat mental illness) medication used for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 31).
This failure had the potential to not identify an increase in behaviors, identify new interventions needed, and
a change in condition that should be reported to the physician for medication management.
Findings:
A review of the facility's policy revised 12/2016, titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, indicated residents will
only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which they are
indicated and effective. The staff will observe, document, and report to the attending physician information
regarding the effectiveness of any interventions, including antipsychotic medications.
A review of the facility's policy revised 12/2016, titled, Behavioral Assessment, Interventions, and
Monitoring, indicated behavioral symptoms will be identified using the facility approved behavioral
screening tools and the comprehensive assessment. The facility will comply with regulatory requirements
related to the use of medications to manage behavioral changes. This facility policy also indicated 10,
.when medications are prescribed for behavioral symptoms, documentation will include and specific target
behaviors and expected outcomes, and monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences.

diagnoses that included diabetes (too much sugar in the blood), high blood pressure, epilepsy (seizures),
Parkinson's disease (a progressive brain disorder that causes involuntary movements such as shakiness
and tremors) and Bi-Polar disorder (a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings).
A review of the most recent Minimum Data Set, (MDS, a resident assessment tool) for Resident 31 dated
11/20/24, indicated that Resident 31 had a very mild cognitive deficit, with a brief interview for mental status
(BIMS) score of 13 out of 15, and needed moderate assistance from staff with all activities of daily living
(ADLs, basic needs as personal hygiene, dressing, toileting, transferring, walking, and eating).
A review of Resident 31's medical record indicated a document dated 1/2025, titled, Active Orders,
indicated Resident 31 was ordered Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication used for moods and behaviors)
25 milligrams (mg, a unit of measure) give one tablet by mouth at bedtime.
A review of Resident 31's medical record indicated documents dated 10/1/24 through 1/7/25, titled,
Medication Administration Record (MAR), indicated only one behavior was documented on 11/16/24 for
monitoring of manic (sudden and severe changes in mood, such as going from being joyful to being angry
