observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to conduct a medication self-administration
assessment to ensure safety for 1 of 1 residents reviewed for self-administration of medications, of a total
sample of 51 residents, (#97).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Resident #97 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including left tibia fracture, muscle
weakness, and polyneuropathy.
A review of the Minimum Data Set admission assessment with an assessment reference date of 3/05/25

bedside table was next to his bed with various personal items, including a box of Ocusoft Retaine MGD
ophthalmic emulsion that contained 28 single doses (0.01 fluid ounces). The resident said he used the eye
drops for his eyes.
On 4/02/25 at 10:13 AM, the resident's bedside table was observed with primary Registered Nurse (RN) D,
who acknowledged the box of single-dose eye drops at resident #97's bedside. Once outside the room RN
D reviewed resident #97's physician orders and acknowledged there were no orders for the eye drops
resident #97 had in his possession. RN D explained that residents required a physician's order to self
administer medications. RN D stated there was no order for eye drops.
On 4/02/25 at 11:16 AM, the Director of Nursing stated residents should have a completed
self-administration assessment and a physician's order for self administration of the medication prior to
resident self-administering medications.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure for Self-Administration of Medications dated 4/1/22 revealed,
It is the policy of this facility that residents who wish to self-administer their medications may do so if it is
determined that they are capable of doing so.

check the O2 concentrator at the beginning of their shift and periodically throughout their shift to ensure it
was correct. She indicated it was important to follow the physician's orders accurately.
Review of the facility's policy titled Oxygen Administration issued on 4/01/22 read, It is the policy of the
facility to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration. The procedure listed O2 was administered as
ordered by physician.

were completed for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for dialysis, of a total sample of 51 residents, (#655).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #655 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
re-admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with dependence on
dialysis, and type 2 diabetes.
Review of the Minimum Data Set Medicare 5-day assessment with Assessment Reference Date of 3/27/25
revealed resident #655's Brief Interview for Mental Status score was 11 out of 15 which indicated
moderately impaired cognition. The assessment showed the resident had no behavioral symptoms and did
not reject evaluation or care that was necessary to achieve her goals for health and well-being. The
assessment revealed resident #655 required hemodialysis.
Review of resident #655's care plan for hemodialysis dated 3/24/25 included complete dialysis
communication tool on dialysis days and review upon return from dialysis. Monitor for bruit and thrill at
shunt site.
A shunt is a connection between a vein and artery that helps your body create the flow of blood it needs for
dialysis to work (retrieved from https://www.bmc.org on 4/04/25).
On 4/01/25 at 9:15 AM, resident #655 stated the staff did not take vital signs or check her dialysis site when
she returned from dialysis.
Review of the Dialysis Communication Form showed three sections, the first section was to be completed
prior to leaving the facility for dialysis, the second section to be completed by the dialysis center and the
third section to be completed by the facility post dialysis. Review of current physician orders revealed
resident #655 went to dialysis three times per week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Review of the Dialysis Communication Forms revealed resident #655 went to dialysis six times between
3/21/25 and 4/02/25. The forms indicated that only one day (3/21/25) were all three sections completed by
nurses. On 3/24/25 only the first page was completed, on 3/26/25 only the first and third pages were
completed, the form on 3/28/25 was missing, for 3/31/25 and 4/02/25 only the first page was completed.
Four of the six forms did not contain a post dialysis assessment.
Review of the progress notes for that time period did not reveal any facility contact made with the dialysis
center.
On 4/03/25 at 11:12 AM, the Unit Manager (UM) for the west wing stated, the process for dialysis was for
nurses to complete the first page of the Dialysis Communication Form, the second page should be
completed by the dialysis center and the third page is completed by the nurse when the resident returned
to the facility. The UM confirmed the forms were not completed for resident #655. She explained that when
the dialysis center did not complete the form she would call and request the form to be

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** The facility
failed to label drugs and biologicals safely and accurately, in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles for 2 of 7 residents observed for medication administration, of a total sample of 51
residents, (#305, and #7).
Findings:
1. On 3/31/25 at 5:14 PM, during medication administration observation with Registered Nurse (RN) A on
the [NAME] medication cart 2 it was noted that the medication on the Electronic Medication Administration
Record (eMAR) indicated Eliquis 5 milligrams (mg) give 1 tablet. The label on the actual medication
instructed that 10 mg of Eliquis was to be administered. RN A did not administer the medication and stated
he would call the physician to clarify the order.
2. On 4/01/25 at 9:14 AM, during medication administration observation with Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) B, on the South medication cart 2, there were discrepancies found with the medication label for two
of resident #7's medications. The order on the eMAR read Sodium Chloride 1 gram and one tablet to be
given. In conflict with the eMAR, the medication label indicated two tablets, one gram each of the Sodium
Chloride were to be given. The second medication on the eMAR instructed nurses to give Levetiracetam
(an anti-seizure medication) 1500 mg by mouth every 12 hours. However, the actual medication label
indicated two 1000 mg tablets were to be given, for a total of 2000 mg of Levetiracetam. LPN B did not
explain why the actual medication labels did not match the physician orders in the eMAR. She did not
administer the medications and stated she would call the physician to clarify the orders.
On 4/03/25 at 9:25 AM, RN C explained whenever an order was changed, she updated the order, reordered
the medication, then removed the old blister pack from the cart and placed it in the return bin to the
pharmacy. She explained if it was a case of where the actual medication was the same but the dosage
changed, for example the new order said to give two tablets, and the old order said to give one; she would
put a sticker that noted the order change on the medication label and continue to use the medication from
that blister pack until the new medication came in.
On 4/03/25 at 9:31 AM, RN D explained if there was a new order or a changed order, she would take the
medication out of the cart to the return bin. She would then send a message to the pharmacy about the
changed dosage. If she discovered that the label did not match the order, she would take the medication
out of the cart. RN D said that sometimes if you could have used the same medication, you could put a
sticker on that read note direction change.
In a phone interview on 4/03/25 at 11:01 AM, Consultant Pharmacist G said he completed medication cart
audits once a month for storage of medications and verified there were no expired medications. However,
he explained he did not check the eMAR to the order to verify that the label on the medications had not
changed or were correct. He said he completed a monthly review including pharmacy recommendations
and was involved in the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement meeting every month.
Consultant Pharmacist G indicated he audited the nurses' documentation and sent a report to the facility
monthly. He stated he was unaware of any discrepancies with medication labels from the last audit and
acknowledged that incorrect labels could lead to medication errors.

On 4/03/25 at 12:07 PM, the Unit Manager (UM) for [NAME] way explained if an order was changed or a
medication dosage was updated, she would put the new order in the computer and send it to the pharmacy.
She continued that the section for updated orders allowed them to use or not use the medication on hand.
The UM explained if the medication was not used, the process was to discontinue the medication, remove it
from the cart and place it in the return to pharmacy bin. If they chose to use the medication on hand, the
process was to place a sticker which indicated, see direction change and once the new order came in, the
old blister pack was removed from the cart.
On 4/03/25 at 12:15 PM, the consulting pharmacy customer representative H said via telephone if an order
was changed by the physician, the new order was entered, the old one discontinued and the medication
removed from the cart. They explained the facility could reuse the medication on hand, if possible, by
placing a sticker for the direction change. He stated Consultant Pharmacist G was responsible for
medication label to eMAR checks, and acknowledged administration inaccuracies on medication labels
could lead to medication errors.
On 4/03/25 at 2:34 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated her expectation was that discontinued
medications be removed from the medication cart and if using a medication on hand when there were order
changes, the sticker for the direction change should be placed on the medication until the new medication
was delivered. She confirmed any medication with a label which was different from the order should be
removed.
The facility's Policy on Medication/Biological Storage Issued 4/01/22 indicated in the procedure section, The
Nursing staff shall be responsible for maintaining medication storage .and Drug containers that have
missing, incomplete, improper or incorrect labels should be returned to the pharmacy for proper labeling
before storing. The facility shall not use discontinued, outdated or deteriorated medications, drugs or
biologicals.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow appropriate hand hygiene and personal
protective equipment (PPE) practices per infection control standards; and failed to prevent cross
contamination when handling trash.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
On 4/02/25 at 9:49 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) J obtained a pair of gloves from a treatment cart.
He donned the gloves without performing hand hygiene and entered a resident's room to assist the wound
care nurse. A few minutes later on 4/02/25 at 9:53 AM, CNA J confirmed he was supposed to perform hand
hygiene when donning and doffing gloves. He explained he had forgotten to do this but said it was
important for sanitation and protection of the residents.
On 4/02/25 at 2:58 PM, CNA J was observed at the doorway of room [ROOM NUMBER] holding a clear,
plastic bag with trash in his right hand and wearing a personal backpack while talking to a staff member
who was inside the room. He then entered room [ROOM NUMBER] and continued talking to the other staff
with the bag in his hand. CNA J stepped out of room [ROOM NUMBER] a few minutes later. He explained
the bag contained trash he collected from a different room, room [ROOM NUMBER]. He validated he was
not supposed to bring trash bag from another room into other resident rooms.
On 4/02/25 at 4:35 PM, the Director of Nursing stated she expected staff to perform hand hygiene when
donning and doffing gloves. She indicated staff were to discard anything they removed from a resident's
room in the soiled utility room and perform hand hygiene before entering another resident's room. She
acknowledged entering a resident's room with trash from another room was a problem with cross
contamination and was considered a break in infection control process.
Review of the facility's policy titled Hand Hygiene dated 4/01/22 read, The facility considers hand hygiene
the primary means to prevent the spread of infections.
