F 0658 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.
