F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. 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 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

Accurate records 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. Facility P/P for Urine Intake and Output was requested; none was provided.
