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 revealed resident #97 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15 out of 15, which indicated that he was cognitively intact. On 4/02/25 at 10:09 AM, resident #97 was observed lying on his back in bed watching television. His 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.

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 maintain adequate communication with the dialysis center, follow the comprehensive person-centered care plan and ensure post-dialysis assessments 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.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.
