F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on observations, interviews and record review the facility failed to follow pharmacy procedure of less than 5% resulting in a of 6.25% medication error rate out of 31 opportunities; as evidenced by an observations of an inappropriate administration of a chewable form of aspirin, an omission of a magnesium 100 mg (milligram) capsule, and administration of insulin without providing privacy while another resident was in the room. There were 154 residents residing in the facility at the time of survey. The findings included: On 10/22/24 at 9:46 AM a medication administration observation was completed with Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN) on Medication Cart number two, in The South Wing Nursing Unit for Resident#107. Staff A, RN verified physician's orders and placed pills into one medication cup which included a chewable form of Aspirin 81 mg tablet. Staff A, RN did not place a prescribed Magnesium 100 mg capsule into medication cup and when asked the reason, Staff A, RN stated, The Magnesium 100 mg capsule was not in the medication cart and the pharmacy is aware and has not delivered it yet. It was last given yesterday. Staff A, RN then placed the cup of pills and a cup of water on top of a Styrofoam plate, knocked on Resident 107's door and asked for permission to enter. Once inside, Staff A, RN introduced self, verified resident by name and provided privacy. Staff A, RN named the medications in the cup to Resident#107, however did not state that there was a chewable form of the Aspirin nor any instruction to chew the pill separately or that the Magnesium capsule was not included. Staff A, RN attempted to administer all medications together and was stopped by surveyor before administration and asked to return to medication cart. The surveyor asked Staff A, RN if it is ok to administer the chewable form of Aspirin with the other medications without instructing the resident to chew? Staff A, RN replied, [Resident#107] usually takes all the medications together, but I can separate it. I can ask the resident if chewing or taking whole is preferred. I will get my supervisor. Staff C, RN Manager for South Wing approached the medication cart and instructed Staff A, RN that Resident#107 needs to be asked in Creole language what is the preference when taking the chewable medication and indicated that a Creole speaking staff member would assist. The surveyor asked Staff A, RN, what the facility's protocol for administering chewable medications to residents. Staff A, RN stated: I don't know the exact protocol and you can find out with the manager. I normally administer all the medications together because the resident does not like to chew the chewable Aspirin; if the resident refuses the medication I will call the physician. Staff C, RN Manager approached cart accompanied by Staff B, a Certified Nursing assistant (CNA). Staff B, CNA, (speaking Creole) asked Resident#107 if she wanted to chew the aspirin, Resident#107 agreed. Staff A, RN then administered chewable form of Aspirin to Resident #107, and Resident#107 chewed the pill. Staff A then administered the remaining medications. Staff C, RN Manager, stated When administering a chewable form of a tablet the nurse is to instruct the resident to chew before administering the medication and then it's the resident 's preference if they want to take it whole. Record review of a demographic sheet for Resident#107 revealed an admission date of 7/5/23 with diagnosis that included: Encounter for prophylactic measures, and Nutritional deficiency.

The surveyor asked Staff D, RN How is privacy provided for the residents during medication administration?

I did not pull the curtain around resident or close the door because I wanted to make sure you (the surveyor) can see the procedure. Record review of a demographic sheet for Resident#135 revealed an admission date of 10/15/24 with diagnosis that included: Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complication.
