(a)(1) A facility must treat and care for each
resident in a manner and in an environment
that promotes maintenance or enhancement of
his or her quality of life recognizing each
resident’s individuality. The facility must protect
and promote the rights of the resident.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide privacy
during medication pass for one of 27 sampled
residents (2). This failure had the potential to
affect the resident's self-esteem and self-worth.
Findings:
During an observation of the medication pass
for Resident 2 on 2/28/17, at 7:45 a. m.,
licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) did not
pull the curtain to provide privacy. LVN C
administered Resident 2's medications through
her G-tube (a tube inserted through the
abdomen that delivers nutrition and medication
directly to the stomach), and part of Resident
2's abdomen was exposed. Resident 2 was
not interviewable.
During an interview with LVN C, on 2/28/17, at
8:15 a. m., she stated she should pull the
curtain to provide privacy for Resident 2 before
administering the medications.
The facility policy and procedure titled "Quality
of Life - Dignity", revision dated 10/2009,
indicated "Staff shall promote, maintain and
protect resident privacy, including bodily

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure care plans
were developed and implemented for three of
27 sampled residents (12, 13, and 17). For
Resident 12, there was no care plan developed
for thyrotoxicosis (a condition that occurs due
to excessive thyroid hormone in the body). For
Resident 13, the landing pad at the bedside
floor was not implemented. For Resident 17,
the care plan for psychosocial well-being was
not initiated and implemented timely. These
failures may affect the quality of care for the
residents.
Findings:
1. During a record review on 2/28/17, Resident
13's clinical record indicated Resident 13 spoke
another language other than English and
needed an interpreter for communication. The
minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool)
dated 1/12/17 indicated Resident 13 needed
supervision for ambulation and had a history of
falls on 2/4/17 and 2/28/17.
During lunch observation on 2/27/17 at 12:40
p.m., Resident 13 was sitting in bed. The
landing pad was propped up against the wall.
During observations of Resident 13 on 2/28/17,
3/1/17, and 3/2/17 the landing pad was resting
against the wall.
During a concurrent interview with certified
nursing assistant C (CNA C) on 3/2/17 at 11:50
a.m., using registered nurse E (RN E) to
interpret for Resident 13 and a family member
who also spoke a language other than English,
they acknowledged the landing pad should be
on the bedside floor for fall precaution.

causes to try to prevent the resident from falling
and to try to minimize complications from
falling.
2. During the initial tour observation and
interview on 2/27/17 at 8:45 a.m., Resident 17
was waiting for her ride to her scheduled
dialysis (a procedure that performs many of the
normal functions of the kidneys, like filtering
waste products from the blood, when the
kidneys no longer work adequately). Resident
17 had a right above the knee amputation
(AKA) and was legally blind. Resident 17 was
alert and oriented to name, place, and time.
Resident 17 was also edentulous on both the
upper and lower dentures. She stated she
could not see and needed a lot of assistance
from the CNA. She stated did not want her
dentures to get lost in the facility and had a
family member (FM) keep it for her at home
and used it when FM was able to come to see
her in the facility. She stated she appreciated
any short visit and conversation with her by
anybody from the facility.
During a review on 3/1/17 of Resident 17's
clinical record, the care plan for psychosocial
well-being dated 2/27/17 indicated on 12/16/16,
Resident 17 had feelings of sadness due to her
condition and a psych consult/psychosocial
therapy was one of the approaches.
During an interview on 3/2/17 at 9:00 a.m. with
licensed vocational nurse A (LVN A), she
stated she was not aware a psych consult was
done for Resident 17.
During a concurrent interview with the social
service supervisor (SSS) she acknowledged
the psychosocial care plan for a psych consult
was not initiated timely.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to conduct Resident
10's quarterly fall risk assessment (a tool used
to identify risk factors for fall and formulate
action plan), and failed to implement the
intervention of placing the bed in a low position
for one of 27 sampled residents (Resident 10).
These failures resulted in a fall and a right hip
fracture.
Findings:
Review of Resident 10's facesheet on 2/28/17,
indicated the resident was admitted 9/7/15 with
diagnoses including history of falling, difficulty
in walking, muscle weakness, dementia
(memory problem), unsteadiness on feet, and
age related osteoporosis (a medical condition
in which the bones become brittle and fragile)
without current pathological fracture (a fracture
caused by disease which led to weakness of
the bone structure). Her minimum data set
(MDS, an assessment tool) dated 6/10/16
indicated the resident had severe impaired
cognition (the activities of thinking,
understanding, learning, and remembering),
required assistance in bed movements,
transfers, walking, and toileting.
Review of Resident 10's fall risk assessment
dated 6/17/16, indicated under fall risk
summary score Resident 10 had a score of 19
which indicated she was at risk for fall. There
was no quarterly fall risk assessment done for
9/2016.

hip fracture. Resident 10 had an old fracture
involving right rami (part of a pubic bone) with
modest healing. Resident 10's primary
physician was called to report the X-ray result,
and he ordered to transfer Resident 10 to the
acute hospital.
Review of Resident 10's acute hospital
discharge summary dated 12/1/16 and the
admission dated 11/23/16, indicated Resident

licensed vocational nurse C (LVN C) on 3/1/17
at 8:35 a.m., Resident 10 was lying in bed. The
bed was not in a low position, and the bed
alarm was turned off. LVN C confirmed the
bed should have been in a low position and the
bed alarm should not be turned off.
A review of the facility's 2001 policy, "Fall and
Fall Risk, Managing", indicated the staff identify
interventions and implement relevant
interventions to try to minimize serious
consequences of falling.

1. For Resident 12, the ordered dose of
megestrol (an appetite stimulant) may not be
effective for the treatment his condition. Also,
there were no side effect monitoring for
megestrol and methimazole (a drug used to
treat hyperthyroidism, a condition that occurs
when the thyroid gland begins to produce an
excess of thyroid hormone).
2. For Resident 19, the facility did not obtain an
ammonia (a gas formed in the body when
protein is broken down by bacteria in the
intestines) level when he experienced lethargy
and confusion while on divalproex sodium (a
drug used to treat seizures and manicdepressive illness). High ammonia is one of
the serious side effects of divalproex sodium,
which can cause symptoms of feeling tired,
vomiting, and changes in mental status.
These failures had the potential for the
physician not to decrease or discontinue the
medication, and for the residents to receive
unnecessary drugs.
Findings:
1. Resident 12 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including failure to thrive (weight
faltering) and thyrotoxicosis (a condition that
occurs due to excessive thyroid hormone in the
body). His weight was 100 pounds (lbs).
The clinical record review on 2/28/17 indicated
Resident 12 had physician orders for megestrol
40 milligram (mg) daily, dated 2/15/17, and
methimazole 10 mg twice daily, dated 2/7/17.
Resident 12's care plan dated 2/15/17 reflected
he lost 4 lbs in 7 days, and the 2/21/17 care
plan reflected he lost 2.2 lbs in 7 days.

greater;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility had a 17.2% medication
error rate when five medication errors of 29
opportunities were observed during the
medication pass for one sampled resident (2)
and three non-sampled residents (37, 39, and
40). These failures had the potential to
negatively affect the residents' health and wellbeing.
Findings:

Resident 37's G-tube, flushed the tubing with
30 ml of water, then poured each dissolved
medication down the G-tube one after another
without flushing between the medications. LVN
J did not wait for each individual medication to
completely pass through the syringe and Gtube before administering the next one.
Shortly after the medication pass, on 2/28/17,
at 8:45 a.m., LVN J stated she should flush
water between the medications.

breakfast observation and interview on 2/28/17,
at 7:40 a.m., Resident 3 was eating breakfast.
Her breakfast tray included oatmeal and she
asked certified nurse assistant L (CNA L), who
was assisting her, to put sweetener on her
cereal. He proceeded to open two packages of
white sugar, which were on her tray, and pour
them on her cereal. She ate a few bites of the
cereal and then stated she did not want the rest
because she did not like the taste.
During an interview on 2/28/17, at 7:55 a.m.,
CNA L stated he poured white sugar on
Resident 3's cereal because sugar was the
only sweetener included on her tray.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to comply with national
guidelines and their own policy when food
items were unlabeled and undated and some
items were stored on the floor. Failure to

(b) Service Consultation. The facility must
employ or obtain the services of a licensed
pharmacist who-(1) Provides consultation on all aspects of the
provision of pharmacy services in the facility;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to meet the needs of
non-sampled Resident 37 when he was
simultaneously administered two medications
with drug-to-drug interaction (situation in which
a drug affects the activity of another drug when
both are administered together). This
interaction may decrease the therapeutic affect
of the medications for the resident.
Findings:
During a medication pass observation on
2/28/17, at 8:25 a.m., licensed vocational nurse
J (LVN J) administered seven medications to
Resident 37. The medications were Ferrous
sulfate (iron, to treat anemia), folic acid (one of
the B vitamins), losartan (a drug used to treat
high blood pressure), multiple vitamins, oyster
shell calcium with vitamin D (a calcium and
vitamin D supplement), gabapentin (a drug
used to relieve nerve pain and to prevent and
control seizures), and metoprolol (a drug used
to treat high blood pressure).
The clinical record for Resident 37 was
reviewed on 3/1/17, and he had physician
orders for ferrous sulfate four times daily at
9:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 9:00 p.m.
started on 2/22/17; and for oyster shell calcium
with vitamin D twice daily at 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. started on 4/6/16. Thus since 2/22/17
ferrous sulfate and calcium were given daily at
the same times, at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

During an interview with nursing supervisor F
(NS F), on 3/1/17, at 3:10 p.m., she verified
since 2/22/17, ferrous sulfate and calcium were
given daily at the same time at 9 a.m. and 5
p.m. NS F acknowledged these two
medications should not be given at the same
time due to the drug-to-drug interaction.
During a telephone interview with the
consultant pharmacist (CP), on 3/2/17, at 1:50
p.m., she confirmed ferrous sulfate and calcium
should not be administered at the same time.
According to Lexicomp (www.lexi.com), a
nationally recognized drug information
resource, the concurrent use of calcium and
ferrous sulfate led to a drug-drug interaction
(DDI) of Risk Rating D, which was a significant
interaction and required therapy modification.
The effect of the DDI was that the calcium may
decrease the absorption of oral preparations of
iron salts. It indicated the iron absorption was
decreased an average of 60% when given as
ferrous sulfate and co-administered with
calcium.
Lexicomp also indicated to separate the
administrations of these medications so it may
minimize the potential for significant interaction.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the consultant pharmacist (CP) failed to
identify and report to the facility the
irregularities during the medication regimen
review (MRR) for two sampled residents (6 and
12) and non-sampled Resident 36, and failed to
identify expired medications when:
1. The pharmacist did not inspect the central
supply (a room where the facility stored overthe-counter medications and supplies) during
the monthly visits to the facility. There were 30
expired medications identified in the central
supply during the survey;
2. One lorazepam (a drug used to manage
restlessness and anxiety) oral concentrate
bottle for Resident 36, that should have been
refrigerated, was kept in the medication cart
since 11/2016.
3. The dose of megestrol (an appetite
stimulant) may not be effective for the
treatment of Resident 12's condition. Also,
there were no side effects monitoring for
megestrol and methimazole (a drug used to
treat hyperthyroidism, a condition that occurs
when the thyroid gland begins to produce an
excess of thyroid hormone).
4. The Hepatic Function Panel (a blood test to
check how well the liver is working) and Lipid
Panel (a blood test that measures fats and fatty
substances used as a source of energy by the
body) for Resident 6 were not done.
These failures had the potential to place
residents at risk for receiving expired,
ineffective medications, or unnecessary drugs
and to compromise the health status of the

3. one lorazepam (a drug used to manage
restlessness and anxiety) oral concentrate
bottle for non-sampled Resident 36, that should
have been refrigerated, was kept in the
medication cart since 11/2016.
These failures had the potential to place
residents at risk for receiving expired or
ineffective medications, and for the facility not

medications in the E-kit.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 2/27/17, at 11:45
a.m., in the medication room for Station 1, one
oral drug E-kit was opened. Five tablets of
prednisone (a drug used to treat allergic
disorders) 5 milligrams (mg - unit dose

drug used to treat infections caused by certain
types of viruses) 200 mg were used without
being logged.
During a concurrent interview with nursing
supervisor F (NS F), she was unable to locate
the logs for the prednisone and acyclovir
tablets. NS F stated every time the
medications in the E-kit were used they should
be logged.

The facility must be adequately equipped to
allow residents to call for staff assistance
through a communication system which relays
the call directly to a staff member or to a
centralized staff work area (2) Toilet and bathing facilities.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure call lights
were accessible and in good working condition
for two of 27 sampled residents (3 and 8) and
one non-sampled resident (28). These failures
may prevent residents' calls from being
answered in a timely manner.
Findings:
1. Resident 3's clinical record was reviewed.
Her Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment
tool), dated 11/25/16, indicated she was
cognitively intact. During an interview on
3/1/17, at 2 p.m., she stated the staff did not

observed attached to her pillow and within her
reach. When asked to activate her call light,
she pushed the call light button, but the call
light did not work.
2. Resident 8's clinical record was reviewed.
Her MDS, dated 1/23/17, indicated she had
some difficulty in decision making. During an
observation on 3/1/17, at 2:05 p.m., her call
light was observed attached to her pillow within
her reach. Resident 8 was in the same room
as Resident 3. When asked to activate her call
light, Resident 8 pushed the call light button,
but the call light did not work.
During an observation and interview on 3/1/17,
at 2:25 p.m., the maintenance assistant (MA)
attempted to activate Residents 3 and 8's call
lights, but they did not work. He stated the call
lights were broken and needed to be replaced.
3. During an observation of Resident 28 on
3/1/17 at 8:20 a.m., Resident 28 was awake
and alert in bed. With instruction, Resident 28
could use the call light. The call light was
attached with the bed alarm box fastened at the
head of the bed. When Resident 28 was asked
to use her call light she was unable to locate
the call light.
A concurrent interview with certified nursing
assistant G (CNA G) was conducted. CNA G
gave the call light to Resident 28 to use. The
call light was not working.
During a concurrent interview with the
housekeeping assistant (HKA), he
acknowledged the call light was defective and
needed to be changed.

informed consents (a voluntary agreement of a
patient or the responsible party [RP, a person
empowered to make medical decisions for the
patient]) were not obtained prior to the
administration of psychotropic medications
(medication used for mood stabilization) for two
of 27 sampled residents (Residents 8 and 19).
Failure to obtain informed consents potentially
limited the residents' rights to accept or refuse
treatments.
Findings:
1. Resident 8's clinical record was reviewed
and indicated she was admitted to the facility
on trazadone (medication used to treat
depression). On 7/20/16, her physician
obtained an informed consent for the
administration of trazadone from Resident 8's
RP in compliance with the state regulations.
On 7/22/16, Resident 8's physician ordered
Remeron (medication used to treat
depression). No informed consent form could
be found.
During an interview on 3/1/17, at 1:35 p.m.,
with the director of medical records (DMR), he
reviewed Resident 8's clinical record and was
able to find documentation of the informed
consent for trazadone, dated 7/20/16. He
stated he was unable to find an informed
consent for Remeron. DMR said the Facility
Verification of Resident Informed ConsentPsychotropic Meds should have been dated
and signed by the RP and the physician.
2. A review of Resident 19's clinical record on
3/2/17 indicated he was started on divalproex
(a drug used to treat seizures and manicdepressive illness) 1500 milligrams (mg, unit
dose measurement) per day on 7/9/16 and on
10/19/16 the dose was increased to 2000 mg
per day on 10/19/16. The only informed
consent found was for divalproex 1000 mg

Resident 19 was also on Zoloft (a drug used to
treat depression, panic disorder, anxiety
disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder) 50
mg daily started on 7/9/16 and the dose was
increased to 100 mg daily on 10/19/16. The
only informed consent found was for Zoloft 100
mg daily dated 10/20/16.
During an interview with the acting director of
nursing (ADON), on 3/2/17, at 3:50 p.m., she
reviewed Resident 19's clinical record and was
unable to find any other informed consents for
divalproex and Zoloft.
The facility policy and procedure titled
"Questions and Answers Regarding Informed
Consent" dated 4/12/11, indicated informed
consent for psychotherapeutic drugs must be
verified prior to the administration of the
medication and include documentation by the
prescribing healthcare practitioner indicating
there was a voluntary agreement between the
resident or the resident's authorized
representative to accept treatment after
receiving information material to a decision
concerning the administration of a
psychotherapeutic drug. The material
information includes the reason for the
treatment; the probable degree and duration
expected with and without the treatment; the
degree, duration, and probability of side effects;
reasonable alternative treatments; and the
resident's right to accept or refuse treatment.
Review of the California Code of Regulations,
Title 22, Section 72528 indicated the attending
licensed healthcare practitioner must obtain
informed consent from the resident or the
resident's RP prior to administering
psychotherapeutic drugs and must provide the
resident or the RP with enough information to

Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to meet the standards of care
when physician orders for Hepatic Function
Panel (a blood test to check how well the liver
is working) and Lipid Panel (a blood test that
measures fats and fatty substances used as a
source of energy by the body) for one of 27
sampled resident (6) were not carried out.
These failures had the potential to compromise
the health status of the resident.
Findings:
The clinical record for Resident 6 was reviewed
on 3/1/17. She was diagnosed with
hyperlipidemia (an abnormally high
concentration of fats in the blood). The
physician's order dated 11/28/14, indicated

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to maintain accurate clinical
records for two of 27 sampled residents (4 and
18). For Resident 18, the medication flowsheet
was incomplete for charting in February 2017,
January 2017, and December 2016. Resident
4 had an unnecessary podiatry order in the list
of physician orders. These failures had the
potential to continue incorrect information for
resident care.
Findings:
1. Resident 18's clinical record was reviewed
and indicated her medication flowsheet was not
documented for giving medication folic acid (a
type of B vitamin) on 2/12//17, at 5 p.m. and for
giving medication atorvastatin (a medication to
lower the level of cholesterol and triglycerides
in the blood) on 1/5/17, at 9 p.m., and for giving
the medication Renvela (a medication for
dialysis patient to prevent dangerous increases
in phosphates), on 1/5/17, at 7 a.m. and 12
p.m. and 1/6/17, at 12 p.m. Also there were no
documents for blood pressure and heart rate
checks when withheld metoprolol tartrate (a
medication used to treat high blood pressure)
on 12/20/16, at 9 a.m.
During an interview with the acting director of

2. Resident 4's clinical record was reviewed
and indicated he was admitted to the facility
with diagnoses of type 2 diabetes mellitus,
acquired absence of left leg below knee and
right foot. The physician order report dated
2/2/17 had an order for podiatry (a branch of
medicine devoted to the medical and surgical
treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and
lower extremity) consult PRN (as needed) for
mycotic/hypertrophic nails and/or keratotic
lesions.
During an interview with the social services
director (SSD), on 3/2/17, at 10:40 a.m., she
stated all diabetic residents were seen
routinely by the podiatrist. She confirmed the
podiatrist only deals with the toenails. SSD
acknowledged Resident 4's podiatry order was
a standing order and should be removed from
the physician order.
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 4, the history and physical from an
acute hospital dated 1/19/17 indicated the
resident had a left below-knee amputation
stump and right transmetatarsal amputation
stump (a method used for long-term limb
preservation for patients with diabetes).
The facility policy and procedure titled
"Charting and Documentation dated" April
2008", indicated all
observations,medications,administered,
services performed, etc., must be documented
in the resident's clinical records.
