§483.10(c)(7) The right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team, as defined by §483.21(b)(2)(ii), has determined that this practice is clinically appropriate. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to determine if it was safe for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2) and one nonsampled resident (Residents A) to selfadminister the medications. * Resident A had a Ventolin inhaler (a bronchodilator medication, used to relax the muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs) at the bedside. Resident A was not mentally and physically able to administer the medications and did not have a physician's order, or a care plan problem addressing the self-administration of medications.

there was no physician's order to administer the Ventolin inhaler. * Resident 2 had her medications at the bedside. Resident 2 did not have a physician's order to keep medications at her bedside. The resident was not assessed or have a care plan problem to address the self-administration of the medications. These failures had the potential for Residents A and 2 to administer the medications inaccurately.
Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled MedicationSelf Administration revised 1/1/12, showed the residents requesting to self-administer hand held nebulizers will be required to demonstrate their ability to safely and effectively use the hand-held nebulizers without the assistance of a licensed nurse. The resident may not begin self-administration of medications prior to the approval of the IDT and attending physician. The attending physician must provide a written order permitting the resident to self-administer medication. 1. On 4/30/19 at 1025 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Resident A. A Ventolin inhaler was observed at Resident A's bedside. Resident A stated she had been administering the inhaler by herself since she came to the facility. Medical record review for Resident A was initiated on 4/30/19. Resident A was admitted to the facility on 4/23/19. Review of the MDS dated 4/30/19, showed Resident A had the capacity to understand and make decisions.

§ 483.25 Quality of care Quality of care is a fundamental principle that applies to all treatment and care provided to facility residents. Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide services to attain or maintain the highest practicable well-being for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident 1 had a physician's order to administer insulin lispro (rapid acting insulin used to lower blood sugar levels) and blood sugar monitoring. However, these orders were omitted during the admission process to the facility. Seven days later after being admitted to the facility Resident 1 was transferred to the acute care hospital with diagnoses including elevated blood sugar level. On readmission from the acute care hospital, Resident 1's regular insulin with sliding scale and blood sugar monitoring was again omitted. As a result, three days later, Resident 1 was transferred back to the acute care hospital emergency department with diagnoses including elevated blood sugar level.

Review of the Resident 1's acute care hospital's transfer medication list titled Final Active Medication List dated 4/3/19, showed the following insulin orders: - "lispro x unit(s)" SQ every morning - Lantus (long acting insulin) 15 units SQ nightly at bedtime. Review of Resident 1's physician's order dated 4/3/19, showed to administer Lantus insulin 15 units SQ at bedtime. The physician's orders failed to show an order for lispro insulin or blood sugar monitoring. Review of the Admission Summary Progress Notes dated 4/3/19, showed the admission order was relayed to the primary physician who agreed. New order was noted, carried out, and communicated. There was no documentation the licensed nursing staff had clarified with the physician about the lispro insulin administration and blood sugar monitoring. Review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record for April 2019 showed Lantus insulin 15 units were administered at bedtime. There was no documentation to show Resident 1's blood sugar levels were monitored and the lispro insulin were administered. On 5/21/19 at 1610 hours, a telephone interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 review was conducted with LVN 4.
