Based on observation, resident interview, staff interviews, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the interdisciplinary team assessed and determined residents were capable of self-administration of medications prior to allowing 1 of 20 sampled residents to self-administer medications. (Resident #2) The
findings include: An observation of Resident #2 was conducted on 12/1/25 at 11:41 AM. The resident was in bed and a green, round pill was observed in a medication cup on top of the overbed table. The resident stated the medication was a Tums (a medication used for upset stomach and nausea) and that the nurse brought it in a while ago. (Photographic evidence was obtained.) A review of Resident #2's electronic medical record revealed the resident had a current physician order dated 10/26/23 for Tums oral tablet chewable 500 mg give one tablet two times a day for gastroesophageal reflux disease. A review of the quarterly minimum data set with an assessment reference date of 11/13/25 revealed Resident #2 had a brief interview of mental status score of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. The record revealed no assessment or care plan for Resident #2 to self-administer medications. A telephone interview was conducted with Employee A (Licensed Practical Nurse), who worked on 12/1/25 and would have administered this medication. She stated she gave Resident #2 her 9:00 AM medications on 12/1/25. She stated she did not observe the resident ingest her Tums, but acknowledged she was supposed to observe the resident take the medication. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/3/25 at 11:10 AM. The DON stated the nurse is expected to observe the resident ingest the medications. An additional interview was conducted with the DON on 12/4/25 at 9:20 AM. The DON confirmed Resident #2 was not assessed or care planned to self-administer medications. Review of the undated facility policy for Administration of Drugs revealed self-administration of drugs is permitted when approved by the interdisciplinary team, including the physician, and documented.
