Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the interdisciplinary team (IDT- a group of
health care professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of the
residents' care plan) was involved in determining whether the self-administrations was clinically appropriate
for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) who was not assessed for self-administration for the use of
Imodium (used to control and relieve diarrhea) oral tablets and probiotic (a pill containing live good bacteria
that can help promote a healthy balance of bacteria in the body) oral tablets that were stored at the
resident's bedside.This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 1 unsafely administering
medications and unsafely access medications stored at bedside.During a review of Resident 1's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 5/24/2025 with diagnoses
including right foot fracture (broken bone), age-related cognitive (the mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) decline, and constipation
(problem with passing stool).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident
assessment tool) dated 5/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had the ability to make herself
understood and had the ability to understand others. The MDS further indicated that Resident 1 needed
setup or clean-up assistance with eating, supervision or touching assistance with oral/personal hygiene,
and the resident was dependent on staff sitting to lying in bed and chair transfer.During a review of
Resident 1's physician orders, the physician orders indicated the following orders:- Imodium anti-diarrheal
(A-D) oral tablet two milligram (mg - a unit of measurement), give one tablet by mouth as needed for
diarrhea, family provided medication and at the resident bedside, ordered 5/31/2025.- Probiotic oral tablet,
give one tablet by mouth every 12 hours for supplement for 30 days, unsupervised self-administration,
ordered 5/31/2025. During a review of Resident 1's MAR for probiotic oral tablet for the periods of
5/31/2025 to 6/30/2025, the MAR indicated the licensed nurses documented U-SA (Unsupervised-Self
Administration) in the MAR.During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/17/2025 at 11:47 a.m.,
with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), reviewed Resident 1's physician orders for Imodium and
probiotics and Resident 1's MAR for probiotic oral tablet from 5/31/2025 to 6/30/2025. LVN 1 stated that she
was able to recall Resident 1 had a hard time with bowel movements and took medications for irritable
bowel movements from the beginning of admission. When LVN 1 was asked what U-SA meant, which was
documented for the probiotic oral tablet in Resident 1's MAR, LVN 1 stated that the physician order
indicated for unsupervised self-administration for probiotics.During a concurrent interview and record
review on 7/15/2025 at 1 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), reviewed Resident 1's physician order
for Imodium and probiotics and Resident 1's MAR for the periods of 5/31/2025 to 6/30/2025. The DON
stated that former Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), who no longer worked at the facility, marked ‘unsupervised'
when they input the physician order for Resident 1's probiotics. When the DON was asked about the
facility's protocol for resident self-administration of medications, the DON stated that the facility should
assess

the resident to see if the resident qualifies for self-administration and the result of the assessment should
be documented on the medication self-administration form. The DON stated the facility did not assess
Resident 1 to see if the resident qualified for self-administration of medications when the physician ordered
for bedside Imodium and probiotics on 5/31/2025. The DON stated that she (DON) checked all of Resident
1's medical records but was unable to locate Resident 1's self-administration assessment form.During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Nursing Administration, last reviewed 3/10/2025,
the P&P indicated, If a resident desires to participate in self-administration, the interdisciplinary team will
assess and periodically re-evaluate the resident based on change in the resident's status. The residents
cognitive, communication, visual, and physical ability to carry out this responsibility will be evaluated. If the
resident is a candidate for self-administration of medications, this will be indicated in the chart. Nursing will
be responsible for recording self-administered doses in the resident's medication administration (MAR).

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care
plan (a document designed to facilitate communication among members of the care team that summarizes
a resident's health conditions, specific care needs, and current treatments) for one of four sampled
residents (Resident 1) addressing Resident 1's self-administration of Imodium (used to control and relieve
diarrhea) oral tablets and probiotic (a pill containing live good bacteria that can help promote a healthy
balance of bacteria in the body) oral tablets that were stored at the resident's bedside.This deficient
practice had the potential to negatively affect the delivery of care and services.During a review of Resident
1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 5/24/2025 with
diagnoses including right foot fracture (broken bone), age-related cognitive (the mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and senses) decline, and

Director of Nursing (DON), reviewed Resident 1's physician order for Imodium and probiotics, Resident 1's
Medication Administration Record (MAR - a report detailing the medications administered to a resident by a
healthcare professional) for the periods of 5/31/2025 to 6/30/2025, and Resident 1's care plans from
5/31/2025 to 7/15/2025. The DON stated that she (DON) checked all of Resident 1's medical records but
was unable to locate Resident 1's care plans about self-administration of medications. During a review of
the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Nursing Administration, last reviewed 3/10/2025, the P&P
indicated, If a resident desires to participate in self-administration, the interdisciplinary team (IDT- a group

plan.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning, last
reviewed 3/10/2025, the P&P indicated, It is the policy of this facility that the interdisciplinary team shall
develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives
and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in
the comprehensive assessment.
