Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one of three
residents received necessary care and services
(1) when:
1. Staff did not follow hospital discharge
medication orders for Resident 1;
2. A certified nursing assistant turned off and
on the gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube inserted
through the abdomen that delivers nutrition
directly to the stomach) for Resident 1;
3. Midline intravenous (IV, into the vein)
catheter (a 3 to 8 inch long catheter inserted
into the peripheral veins of the upper arm for IV
medication or hydration) dressing was not
changed as ordered for Resident 1.
Findings:
1. A review of the acute hospital's Inpatient
Medicine Discharge Summary on 7/6/18
indicated for the facility to discontinue synthroid
(levothyroxine, a medication used to treat
hypothyroidism or under active thyroid) due to
Resident 1's thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH,
a laboratory test; high TSH indicates under
active thyroid) level was not high. It also
indicated to continue colace (docusate sodium,
a stool softener) 100 mg daily due to Resident
1 having history of gastrointestinal bleed
(bleeding in the stomach or the intestines). It
also indicated to continue multivitamin (a
supplement) daily due to Resident 1's pressure
injury (localized damage to the skin and/or
underlying tissue that usually occur over a bony
prominence as a result of pressure, or pressure
in combination with shear and/or friction).
A review of the facility's Admission Orders,
dated 7/6/18, indicated levothyroxine 50
microgram (mcg, a unit of measurement). It did
not indicate Colace or multivitamin.

The facility must ensure that its§483.45(f)(2) Residents are free of any
significant medication errors.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure residents are free from
significant medication error for two of three
residents (2 and 1) when:
1. Licensed staff did not clarify the correct dose
and concentration of morphine (a controlled
medication used to treat moderate to severe
pain) and administered 20 milligrams (a unit of
measurement for weight) of morphine sulfate to
Resident 2 instead of 1 mg as ordered by the
physician.
2. Licensed staff did not clarify the correct time
and administered a second dose of intravenous
(IV, into the vein) antibiotic (a medication used
to treat infections) on the same day to Resident
1 instead of the following day.
This failure had the potential to affect the
health and well-being of residents.
Findings:
1. During an observation and interview with
licensed vocational nurse A (LVN A) on
7/24/18, at 4:50 p.m., he stated Resident 2 had
two bottles of morphine sulfate with two
different concentrations. One unopened bottle
of morphine 10 mg per 5 ml (or 2 mg per 1 ml)
delivered on 6/19/18 and one opened bottle of
morphine sulfate 100 mg per 5 ml (or 20 mg
per 1 ml) delivered on 5/22/18 were in the
locked narcotic compartment of the medication
cart.

p.m., CP stated the morphine sulfate with the
concentration of 20 mg per ml was too strong
of a concentration for the 1 mg dosage required
for shortness of breath. CP stated the nurse
would need to draw 0.05 ml of the morphine
sulfate and it would be too hard to measure
