Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident
(Resident 96) was determined capable of self-medication administration (the ability of a person to take
medication independently) when Resident 96 had eye drops at the bedside to self-administer. This failure
had the potential to result in Resident 96 administering medication without the appropriate guidance on
how to instill the eye drops in his eyes, possible side-effects, and drug reaction.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/25 at 10 a.m. with Resident 96 in Resident 96's
room, a covered container was on the overbed table and had an ophthalmic solution (artificial tears and
lubricant) eye drops at the bedside. Resident 96 stated he had been using and putting eye drops in his
eyes, especially after eye surgery. Resident 96 stated the nurses knew I had this eye drops for a long time.
Resident 96 stated some nurses had seen him put eye drops in his eyes.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/25 at 8:54 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1 and Resident 96 in Resident 96's room, LVN 1 stated there was a vial of eye drops inside a
covered container in Resident 96's room. Resident 96 stated he had been using the eye drops for five years
now since his eye surgery.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/25 at 9 a.m. with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated there was
no physician's order regarding the eye drops and no orders for Resident 96 to self-administer his
medication.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/25 at 10:39 a.m. with Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), MDSC stated, I do not see an order for self-medication administration. MDSC stated
there was no IDT (Interdisciplinary Team (a group of healthcare professional in various disciplines to
discuss care of the resident) documentation to determine the resident's capacity to self-administer
medication. MDSC stated there was no nursing documentation in the progress notes regarding the
resident's self-medication administration.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Self-Medication Administration, dated
2/2021, the P&P indicated, Residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary
team has determined that is clinically appropriate and safe for the residents to do so. 1. As part of the
evaluation comprehensive assessment, the interdisciplinary team (IDT) assesses each resident's cognitive
and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medication is safe and clinically appropriate
for the resident .3. If it is deemed safe and appropriate for a resident to self-administer medication, this is
documented in the medical record and the care plan

are vital to the individual, to the staff and to the facility administrators. For a resident, the clinical record
should ensure continuity of care; for the staff, it assists in coordination of services and services as proof of
work done .Clinical records are the facility personnel's mechanical memory for a resident. As a layman, an
individual cannot adequately relay the details of his/her healthcare to the many different providers that he or
she may contact for treatment. An accurate health record provides that thread of continuity in a complex
and specialized health care delivery system. Coordination of this care in the records requires accurate
information available to all member of the the health care team.
