Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain an informed consent (process in which a
health care provider educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a given procedure or
intervention in order to obtain agreement or permission for care, treatment, or services) for an increased
dose of an antipsychotic medication (a type of psychotropic medication to manage psychosis including
delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, or disordered thought) for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 48).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to compromise the right of the residents or responsible parties (RPs, persons
designated to make decisions of behalf of the residents) to be fully informed regarding care and treatment
to make health care decisions.
Findings:
A review of Resident 48's clinical record indicated she had been receiving Seroquel (an antipsychotic
medication) 50 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) twice daily for bipolar disorder (a disorder associated
with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs) M/B (manifested by) angry
outburst, hitting, kicking, biting staff causing impairment in functional capacity, starting on 3/21/22. On
4/19/22, there was a physician's order to add 50 mg dose at bedtime. The total dose was 50 mg three times
daily as of 4/19/22.
A review of Resident 48's medical record indicated it had the informed consent, dated 3/20/22, for Seroquel
50 mg twice daily. There was none for the additional 50 mg dose added on 4/19/22.
During a phone interview on 5/12/22, at 10:00 AM, with Resident 48's RP, she stated she was not familiar
with the resident's medications, such as what the medications were and what they were for. She also stated
she had not been contacted by a physician regarding the resident's care since the resident was admitted to
the facility.
During a phone interview on 5/12/22, at 11:00 a.m., with the medical director (MD), he stated the charge
nurses give the informed consent form to residents or RPs, and he signs it. He also stated usually he had a
hard time getting hold of the RPs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 05/12/22, at 11:13 a.m., with director of Nursing (DON)
and licensed vocational nurse (LVN L), they confirmed there was no informed consent document in
Resident 48's medical record for Seroquel that was ordered on 4/19/22. They confirmed there should be a
documented informed consent for newly prescribed or increased antipsychotic medications. They further
explained the prescriber was responsible for obtaining the informed consent from the resident or RP, and
the nursing staff's responsibility was to verify with resident or RP if the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an observation on 5/9/22 at 12:44 p.m., CNAs were seen passing out the lunchtime meal trays to
the residents. There were two food carts parked in the hallway of station three and station four which
contained the lunch trays of the residents. Two LNs were seen in the hallways of station three and four,
standing by their medication carts, and were not participating in the passing of the lunch trays to the
residents.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview with licensed vocational nurse D (LVN D) on 5/9/22 at 12:44 p.m., he was asked if he
checked the contents of the meal trays before the CNAs distributed lunch to the residents on station three
and station four. LVN D stated No I did not, I do it if I have time.
During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 05/12/22 at 8:50 a.m., she stated Our process is
to have the licensed nurses check the meal trays and make sure the food matches the diet tray card before
the CNAs start passing the trays.
During an observation and concurrent interview with licensed vocational nurse E (LVN E) on 05/12/22 at
12:17 p.m., lunch trays were being passed to the residents. LVN E was reading the diet cards while
inspecting the contents of the meal tray for each resident prior to giving it to the CNAs to deliver to the
residents. LVN E stated she compares the type of diet listed on the diet slip with the actual food on the tray.
LVN E stated licensed nurses do this at every meal and for every resident tray.
Review of the facility policy Tray Identification, revised April 2007, indicated nursing staff shall check each
food tray for the correct diet before serving the residents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care and services in
accordance with professional standards or practice when:
1. Licensed nurses (LN) did not check food trays for the correct diets before serving the residents in two of
4 stations (Station AA and Station BB);
2. Two of seven sampled residents' (Resident 64 and 84) medications were not clarified with the physician.
Resident 64's vitamin D (to prevent osteoporosis or treat vitamin D insufficiency) order did not have a
strength since 12/23/21. Resident 84's as-needed lorazepam (medication to treat anxiety disorder) order
did not have a dosing frequency since 3/5/22.
These failures had the potential to compromise the residents' health and well-being, and not meeting the
residents' therapeutic needs or excessive use of medications for the residents

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents receiving dialysis (removal of
waste and excess fluid from the body) treatment received care consistent with professional standards for
one of one resident (Resident 23) when Resident 23's dialysis site dressing was not removed as ordered.
This deficient practice had the potential for the resident to be inadequately assessed and be at risk for
complications.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 23's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including end stage renal disease (kidneys no longer functioning in permanent basis) and thrombosis
(blood clot) due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, subsequent encounter.
Review of Resident 23's physician order dated 1/8/21 indicated Resident 23's dialysis days were Tuesdays
and Thursdays from 6:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.
Review of Resident 23's physician order dated 5/8/22 indicated remove dialysis dressing to left arm AV
shunt (a connection of artery and vein) (at least 4 hours post dialysis).
During an observation on 5/11/22 at 9:53 a.m., with the treatment nurse (TN), Resident 23's arm had a
white cover (dressing). Resident 23 confirmed his left arm was his dialysis site.
Review of Resident 23's hemodialysis report sheet dated 5/10/22 indicated Resident 23 went to dialysis.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure controlled medications (those with high
potential for abuse and addiction) were fully accounted when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Random controlled medication use audit for three of four sampled residents' (Residents 23, 48, and 71)
as-needed controlled medications did not reconcile. The medications were signed out of the controlled
drugs accountability sheet (Count Sheet, an inventory sheet that keeps record of the usage of controlled
medications) but not documented on the Medication Administration Records (MAR) to indicate they were
given to the residents.
2. Three of five controlled drug sign-in/sign out sheets (a sheet used to reconcile inventory of controlled
medications in the medication cart by the incoming and outgoing nurse during a shift change) were missing
signatures.
These failures had the potential for misuse or diversion of controlled medications and inaccurate
accountability of controlled medications.
Findings:
1. The controlled medication Count Sheets for four random residents receiving as-needed controlled
medications were requested for review during the survey.
a. Resident 23 had a physician's order for Percocet tablet 5-325mg (oxycodone-acetaminophen, a
controlled medication for pain) give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for severe pain, start date
8/4/21.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 05/10/22, at 03:32 p.m., with licensed vocational nurse
(LVN) L, a review of Resident 23's Count Sheet for Percocet and 4/2022 and 5/2022 MARs reflected the
nursing staff removed 1 tablet on 4/2/22 at 10:30 a.m., on 5/5/22 at 10 a.m., and on 5/6/22 at 10 AM from
the medication cart and documented on the Count Sheet without documenting in the respective
administration on the MAR. LVN L verified this finding, and stated any medication given needed to be
documented on MAR as well. She confirmed three Percocet tablets were unaccounted for.
b. Resident 48 had a physician's order for alprazolam tablet 1mg give 1 tablet via G-tube (a tube inserted
through the belly that brings nutrition directly to the stomach) every 12 hours as-needed for anxiety for 90
days m/b (manifested by) pulling out tubing and rolling herself out of bed that poses a danger to herself,
start date 4/2/22.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 05/10/22, at 03:32 p.m., with LVN L, a review of
Resident 48's Count Sheet for alprazolam and 4/2022 MAR reflected the nursing staff removed 1 tablet on
4/21/22 at 10 a.m. from the medication cart and documented on the Count Sheet without documenting the
administration on the MAR. LVN L verified this finding and confirmed one alprazolam tablet was
unaccounted for.
c. Resident 71 had a physician's order for tramadol tablet 50mg give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as
needed for mild to moderate pain, start date 2/15/22.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the consultant pharmacist (CP) failed to identify and
report the irregular medication orders for two of seven sampled residents (Residents 64 and 84) in the
monthly Medication Regimen Review (MRR).
This failure resulted in medications not given in accordance with accepted standards of practice and had
the potential for not meeting the residents' therapeutic needs or excessive use of medications for the
residents.
Findings:
1. During a medication administration observation on 5/10/22, at 08:47 a.m., licensed vocational nurse
(LVN) J administered 1 tablet of vitamin D 1,000 International Units (IU, unit of potency for vitamins) via
Resident 64's gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube inserted through the belly that brings nutrition directly to
the stomach).
During medications reconciliation, Resident 64's vitamin D order was:
vitamin D tablet (cholecalciferol) give 1 tablet via G-tube two times a day for supplement. Start date
12/23/21. The order did not include a strength.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/10/22, at 11:05 a.m., with director of nursing (DON),
verified there was no strength for Vitamin D order, she stated the nursing staff should have clarified with the
physician.
A review of Lexi-comp, a nationally recognized drug information resource, it indicated vitamin D comes in
different dosage forms, such as: 1,000 IU, 5,000 IU, 25,000 IU and 50,000 IU.
A review of the MRR binder (consisted of the CP's recommendations) indicated no recommendations in
January, February, March, and April 2022 for Resident 64's medications.
2. A review of Resident 84's physician orders, dated 3/5/22, indicated: lorazepam 0.5 mg give 1 tablet by
mouth as needed for Anxiety or S.O.B (shortness of breath) for 90 Days M/B (manifested by) verbalization
of anxiousness. The order did not include a dosing frequency, such as how often it should be given.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 05/12/22, at 11:13 a.m. with DON and licensed
vocational nurse (LVN) L, they verified there was no dosing frequency for as needed Lorazepam order, and
they stated all medications should have dosing frequency. A review of the Medication Administration
Records (MARs) indicated nursing staff administered 10 doses in March 2022, 14 doses in April 2022, and
2 doses in May 2022.
A review of MRR binder indicated no CP's recommendations related to the lack of dosing frequency for
Resident 84's lorazepam in March and April 2022.
During a phone interview on 05/12/22, at 01:53 p.m. with the CP, she verified above two medication
irregularities. She stated she did not see any recommendations from her regarding the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
Resident 13's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
major depressive disorder (persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), bipolar disorder (mental
illness which a person can experience mood swings [period of overly happy or periods of feeling sad]).
During multiple observations on 5/9/22 at 9:47 a.m., 9:50 a.m., 10:12 a.m., 12:03 p.m., 2:02 p.m., Resident
13 was screaming.
During an interview with certified nursing assistant K (CNA K) on 5/9/22 at 11:25 a.m., CNA K stated
Resident 13 does scream even at night.
Review of Resident 13's physician's order dated 2/23/22 indicated Quetiapine Fumarate (seroquel) 50
milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) give 1.5 tablet twice a day for bipolar disorder manifested by angry
outburst.
During a concurrent interview and record review with nursing supervisor G (NS G) on 5/13/22 at 1:16 p.m.,
NS G reviewed Resident 13's physician order and stated the behavior should be clarified.
During an interview with the DON on 5/13/22 at 2:33 p.m., the DON reviewed Resident 13's clinical record
and stated the behavior should be specific to Resident 13.
Review of the facility's policy Psychotropic Medication Use (Antipsychotics) dated 12/2016 indicated,
Residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which
they are indicated and effective.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 23 sampled residents
(Residents 48 and 13) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affects brain
activities associated with mental processes and behaviors) when:
1. The facility increased Resident 48's Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication) for bipolar disorder (a
disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs) without
adequate indication and documentation, and did not monitor the resident's lipid panel (a test that measures
the amount of certain fat molecules called lipids in the blood) annually while the resident was on two
antipsychotic medications.
2. For Resident 13, there was no specific behavior for the use of Seroquel.
These failures had the potential for increased risks associated with psychotropic medication use that
include but are not limited to sedation, anxiety, agitation, and memory loss.
Findings:
1a. A review of Resident 48's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with generalized
anxiety disorder (severe, ongoing anxiety that interferes with daily activities), schizophrenia (a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly), and bipolar

A review of Resident 48's physician's orders reflected she was currently receiving two antipsychotic
medications:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Seroquel 50 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) give 1 tablet via G-tube at bedtime for Bipolar
Disorder M/B (manifested by) angry outburst hitting, kicking, biting staff causing impairment in functional
capacity, dated 4/19/22.
2. Olanzapine tablet 10 mg give 1 tablet via G-tube one time a day for schizophrenia M/B hallucination AEB
(as evidenced by) talking to herself, dated 3/24/22.
A review of Resident 48's medical record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility in August 2020
with Seroquel 25 mg twice daily for bipolar disorder. It was increased to Seroquel 50 mg twice daily starting
on 3/21/22 (this dose was discontinued on 5/2/22). On 4/19/22, there was a physician's order to add 50 mg
dose at bedtime. The total dose was 50 mg three times daily as of 4/19/22. There was no documented
indication or rationale, such as an increase in behaviors/symptoms, in the medical record supporting the
reason why the dose was increased.
During a phone interview on 5/12/22, at 11:01 a.m., with the medical director (MD), he stated he did not
recall regarding the indication of added Seroquel because he was in the middle of patient care, and he
needed to talk to the team. He also stated resident has schizophrenia, and she did not respond to the
medications well.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/12/22, 11:18 a.m., with the director of nursing (DON)
and LVN L, they confirmed there was no indication documented for increased Seroquel dose at bedtime
from a physician on 4/19/22; also, there was no informed consent (process in which a health care provider
educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a given procedure or intervention in order to
obtain agreement or permission for care, treatment, or services) for its use. They stated there should be a
documented rationale or indication for any increased psychotropic medication, and an informed consent.
1b. A review of Resident 48's medical record indicated she had been receiving both Seroquel and
olanzepine, in various doses, since admission in August 2020.
A review of Lexi-comp, a nationally recognized drug information resource, it indicated antipsychotic
medications have the ability to cause metabolic changes including increase in blood sugar and lipids (such
as cholesterol and triglycerides). Lexi-comp indicated to monitor lipid panel 12 weeks after initiation and
dose change, then annually for Seroquel and olanzapine use.
There was no documented evidence in Resident 48's medical record the facility monitored for lipid panel
since the resident's admission.
A review of the Medication Regimen Review (MMR) binder (consisted of the Consultant Pharmacist (CP)'s
recommendations) indicated the CP recommended to get order from the physician for hemoglobin A1C (a
blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months) and lipid panel on 5/3/22.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility had a medication error rate of 15.63% when
five medication errors occurred out of 32 opportunities during medication administration for four of five
sampled residents (Residents 42, 53, 64, and 72).
Residents Affected - Some
The deficient practice resulted in medications not given in accordance with the prescriber's orders and/or
manufacturer's specifications, which may result in residents not receiving the full therapeutic effect of the
medications and possible side effects for residents.
Findings:
1. During a medication pass observation on 5/9/22, at 09:01 a.m., with licensed vocational nurse D(LVN D),
he administered six medications to Resident 53, including a tablet of aspirin enteric coated (a pain reliever
with a coating that creates a delayed release of the medication also prevents stroke) 81 milligrams (mg).
A review of Resident 53's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 12/29/21, for aspirin low
strength tablet chewable 81 mg give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for stroke prevention.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/9/22, at 1:46 p.m., with LVN D, he verified the order
indicated aspirin chewable tablet, but he administered the enteric coated tablet. He stated he needed to call
the physician to change the order to enteric coated because the resident was having stomach problems.
During another interview with LVN D on 5/9/22 at 3:37 p.m., LVN D stated the physician wanted to keep the
aspirin order as chewable 81 mg tablet.
2. During a medication pass observation on 5/9/22 at 9:17 a.m., with LVN A, she administered 6
medications to Resident 72, including an Artificial Tears eyedrop (used to lubricate dry eyes and help
maintain moisture on the outer surface of the eyes). At the bedside, LVN A instilled 1 drop in each of the
resident's eyes.
