On 04/20/22 at 1:53 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Occupational Therapy and
Rehabilitation (DOR). During the interview, the DOR confirmed Resident #15 needed to wear the left-hand
soft orthosis for contracture management, and therapy was applying it at this time. The DOR stated, She
tolerates one hour to one and a half hours. We are training her contracture right now; and after three weeks
restorative program, the CNAs will do range of motion (ROM) and apply the device. The staff were not
putting the device on her contracture, and it got worse.
In an interview conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 04/20/22 at 2:02 p.m., she
confirmed Resident #15 should be care planned to wear the left hand soft ortho device for contracture and
did not know why it was omitted as an intervention on the care plan.
An interview was conducted on 04/20/22 at 2:11 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator, who
is responsible for updating care plans. During the interview she confirmed the intervention was not on the
current care plan. She further indicated if there is an active physician order in the medical record, then it
must be on the care plan too.
Immediately after the interview, the MDS Coordinator revised Resident #15's care plan focus area related
to ADLs by adding the intervention. The intervention, initiated on 4/20/22, read: Place-left soft wrist hand
orthosis for contracture management after morning meal and remove prior to evening meal. May be

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, it was determined the facility failed to arrange a physician
ordered appointment for eye surgery in a timely manner for one resident (#38) out of a sample of thirty
eight residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
An interview with Resident #38 on 04/18/2022 at 11:50 a.m. revealed the resident lying in bed with the
lights off. He stated a couple of months ago, he had a concern and asked his nurse if she could schedule
an appointment due to his vision becoming cloudy and experiencing blurriness. Resident #38 was still
concerned at this time, and explained the blurriness is getting worse.
A review of the admission Record revealed Resident #38 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and
initially admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia and
unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition.
A review of the Order Summary Report, dated 04/20/2022, for the dates of 01/01/2022 - 01/31/2022
revealed a physician order for: Refer to YAG laser (laser used to clear the frosting from the back surface of
an intraocular lens) treatment to both eyes (physician name) due to secondary cataracts, order date was
01/10/2022. A review of the electronic medical record under the Orders tab showed this order was entered
on 01/10/2022 at 17:20 (5:20 p.m.) by Staff G, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
A review of Resident #38's care plan, initiated on 01/11/2022, revealed:
Focus - (Resident #38) has vision impairment related to Cataracts.
Goals - (Resident #38) will maintain baseline level of visual acuity through the review date as evidenced by
no complaints of decreased vision.
Interventions/Tasks included: Arrange for appts (appointments)/follow-ups with eye care provider as
ordered.
On 04/19/2022 at 3:30 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff S, LPN. Staff S said, Once the nurse
gets the physician order, they input it into the system, under the tab labeled Orders for that resident medical
record. They would then check the resident's insurance to find a provider that would take it for the specific
appointment. The nurse would then call that provider and schedule the appointment. Once that is
completed, it would then be entered into the resident's electronic medical record. This sends an alert to
staff that the resident has an upcoming appointment with date and time and name of provider. They would
also inform the resident that an appointment was made. Staff S continued with, If they are unable to find a
suitable provider, they would then contact the social services department, who would then look for a
provider that takes the resident's insurance. Once completed they would then call the provider and
schedule the appointment, which then would be added to the resident's MAR (medication administration
record). The information would be shared with the resident and notification to any family if applicable.
On 4/20/2022 at 12:50 p.m. the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) provided a policy titled, Process for
scheduling and Making Follow-up Appointments. The steps were documented as follows:

1. During morning meeting orders are reviewed for all residents for any appointment needs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
2. All orders for appointments are discussed. The medical records representative will take notes regarding
appointment details in order to make appointment.

The ADON stated during the interview on 04/20/2022 at 12:50 p.m. they do not have a current policy or
procedure from the new company in regard to the arranging of medical appointments for the residents. The
ADON stated they had to create a policy this morning.
On 04/20/2022 at 3:30 p.m. an interview with Staff G, LPN (nurse who entered the physician order on
01/10/2022) accessed the EMR to review the physician order record for Resident #38. After review, she
confirmed she did not finish filling in the order. Staff G confirmed the order entered on 1/10/2022 was never
sent.
An interview with Staff N, LPN was conducted on 04/20/2022 at 4:30 p.m. Staff N stated, No, the order
needs to be completely processed, which then gives enough information to create a complete care plan. If
the staff had witnessed an order that was not processed, they should have notified me immediately and we
could have processed the resident's order for the medical appointment.
On 04/20/2022 at 4:45 p.m. an interview was conducted with the ADON. The ADON stated it was her
expectation that all orders are followed through on, from receiving the PO (physician order), to inputting the
order in the EMR. She said it should then be discussed in morning meeting the next day during new orders
review. Transportation should be arranged for the appointment, and this allows all disciplines, who need to
be involved, are notified.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure a Stage IV pressure ulcer was
treated in a manner to promote healing and prevent infections for one resident (#45) out of 14 facility
residents with pressure injuries.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Resident #45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnoses, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
with foot ulcer (onset 12/22/21), morbid (severe) obesity due to excess calories, and unspecified
complication of skin graft (onset 1/9/22).
An observation was conducted, on 4/20/22 at 2:19 p.m., with Staff M (Agency Licensed Practical
Nurse/LPN) of the wound care for Resident #45. The resident was observed lying on the bed as the staff
member removed the gray non-slip sock from the resident's left foot. The staff member did not place a
barrier under the resident's foot as she removed the elastic bandage from the area and exposed the rolled
gauze underneath. Staff M began pulling at the tape holding the rolled gauze and tearing at the rolled
gauze as she removed it. Staff M did not use scissors to cut away the rolled gauze. An area of tan and red
discoloration was observed on the rolled gauze at the heel area. The staff member used wound cleanser to
loosen the gauze sponge and blue Hydrofera pad from the wound. She cleansed the wound by spraying
wound cleanser and using a 4x4 gauze sponge which had been sitting on the resident's dresser without a
barrier to pat the wound dry. Staff M opened a package of 4x4 Hydrogel, a prism of Collagen and Silver,
and a 4x4 drain sponge. She stated the Hydrogel was an off brand of the ordered Hydrofera sponge
dressing. Resident #45 informed Staff M she was missing the purple one. Staff M reported to the resident
she was not missing anything, she had written everything down. A review of what the staff member had
written down identified Hydrofera. The resident informed the nurse the purple dressing was on the left side
of the top drawer of the dresser. Staff M removed an opened package of Hydrofera blue, then removed the
sponge dressing with bare hands and placed the packaging on top of the bedspread with the sponge. Staff
M left the resident room, went to the treatment cart, and removed a pair of scissors, then began to return to
the resident's room. The staff member confirmed she had contaminated the Hydrofera sponge by removing
it from the packaging with bare hands. She stated, I took my gloves off. The staff member went into the
unit's pantry, looked around and then reported to Staff E, Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator, she
needed another Hydrofera, because it got contaminated. After several minutes Staff E returned to the unit
and had produced an unopened package of Hydrofera. Staff M placed the scissors onto the resident's
bedspread, applied a pair of gloves (without performing hand hygiene), sprayed wound cleanser into the
wound and used a 4x4 gauze pad to pat dry the wound. She picked up the scissors from the bedspread
and cut off a piece of the Hydrofera, then placed the remaining piece on top of the packaging. She placed a
drain sponge on top of the blue sponge, applied a large abdominal pad, then began to wrap rolled gauze
around the dressings and the resident's foot. Prior to adhering the rolled gauze, she removed the rolled
gauze, the abdominal pad, drain sponge, and the blue sponge. The LPN applied the prism to the wound
bed, used scissors (that had been lying on the bedspread) to cut another piece of the Hydrofera before
applying it, then she placed the previous 4x4 drain sponge, the previously applied abdominal pad, and then
used the previously applied rolled gauze to secure the dressing to the left heel before wrapping the area
with an elastic bandage. The staff member applied the previously removed gray sock, threw away all the
trash, removed gloves, and washed hands for approximately 10 seconds.
Immediately following the observation, an interview was conducted with Staff M. She stated hand

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observations, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure one (#31) of two sampled
residents reviewed for enteral feedings received nutritional support as ordered.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Resident #31 was admitted on to the facility in 2018 with diagnoses to include unspecified protein-calorie
malnutrition, subsequent encounter for diffuse traumatic brain injury without loss of consciousness,
persistent vegetative state, and gastrostomy status.
An observation on 4/18/22 at 10:39 a.m., identified an opened (spiked) bottle of Jevity 1.5 calorie
connected to a nutrition pump. The manufacturer label identified the enteral nutrition bottle held
approximately 1000 milliliters (ml)/ 33.8 fluid ounces/1 liter of liquid. The label indicated the bottle was hung
at 12:00 PM on 04/17/22 with a run rate of 55 ml per hour (hr). The observation revealed the bottle
contained approximately 700 ml, indicating the resident had received approximately 300 ml since the bottle
was hung, approximately 22 hours and 39 minutes prior to the observation. The observation on 4/18/22 at
2:01 p.m. indicated the resident was receiving nutrition at 55 ml/hr and the bottle of nutrition continued to
appear to contain approximately 700 ml. On 4/18/22 at 2:58 p.m. and 3:16 p.m., an observation identified
the nutrition pump was not running, the same bottle dated 4/17/22 at 12 p.m. was hanging and contained
slightly less than 700 ml. Photographic evidence was obtained.
A review of Resident #31's April 2022 Order Summary Report indicated the following orders related to the
resident's nutrition:
- Nothing by mouth (NPO) diet, NPO texture for Enteral Feeding, start 4/8/22.

water flushes for 18 hours from 4/17 at 12 p.m. to 4/18/22 at 6 a.m. (scheduled time for nutrition to come
down). The resident should have received water flushing four times during the time period, including a
flushing scheduled at 9 a.m. The orders reflected the resident was to receive 14 hours of enteral nutrition
and 4 hours of water supplement during the time period. The amount of enteral nutrition would equal 770 ml
(14 hours x 55 ml/hr.). The bottle was observed hanging from the pole, on 4/18/22 at 10:39 a.m., next to the
resident with only 300 ml's of enteral nutrition delivered between 4/17 at 12 p.m. and 10:39 a.m. on 4/18/22,
totaling a deficit of enteral nutrition of approximately 470 ml in the time period.
On 4/18/22 at 3:10 p.m., Staff Member T (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) stated Resident #31 had been
re-admitted to the unit yesterday after being on the south hall. The LPN observed the residents' nutrition
was not running and confirmed it should be running at 55 ml/hr. She stated the nutrition was good for 24
hours and should have been changed at 12 p.m. on 4/18/22. The staff member stated she had not restarted
the nutrition until 12 p.m. because she was behind. The nurse stated when she hooked the nutrition up to
the resident (at 12 p.m.) she had not looked at the bottle. Staff T was unable to calculate the amount of
nutrition the resident had received in the approximate 25-hour period between the time the bottle was hung
and interview, stating I'm tired, I can't calculate, I can't figure it out. The staff member confirmed the resident
should have received more nutrition and it was obvious the resident had not gotten enough. She stated, I
don't know what happened.
The Director of Nursing (DON) observed Resident #31's enteral nutrition feeding, on 4/18/22 at 3:20 p.m.,
and stated she knew it was not running and it should be. The DON confirmed the resident had not gotten
enough nutrition and 300 ml of nutrition from 12 p.m. on 4/17/22 was not acceptable. She stated her
expectation was to follow the physician orders for enteral feeding.
A review of the policy titled Assisted Nutrition and Hydration, undated, indicated the Residents within the
facility will maintain adequate parameters of nutritional and hydration status, to the extent possible, to
ensure each resident is able to maintain the highest practicable level of well-being. The Explanation and
Compliance guidelines indicated the facility would provide nutritional and hydration care and services to
each resident, consistent with the resident's comprehensive assessment and to provide a therapeutic diet
taking into account the resident's clinical condition and preferences.

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** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure medications were stored and
labeled properly in two (300-hall 1 and 300-hall 2) of four medication carts and one (south) of two
medication rooms.
Findings included:
On 4/19/22 at 5:15 p.m., an attempt was conducted to observe medication administration with Staff U,
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff U opened the top drawer of the 300-hall 1 medication cart and
removed a medication cup with medications in it and then entered Resident #40's room. When the Staff U
returned to the medication cart, she stated she had administered the resident a chewable Vitamin C and
the scheduled Oxycodone. Staff U then removed a blister card of Doxycycline tablets from the medication
cart, dispensed a tablet into a medication cup, left the card of tablets on the top of the medication cart, and
re-entered Resident #40's room. She came back out and stated she had signed out the Oxycodone and
confirmed she had pre-dispensed medications due to the computer not staying charged if not plugged in.
The cart was parked between rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]; an electrical outlet was observed on the other
side of the door to room [ROOM NUMBER], on the wall between rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], and between
the room [ROOM NUMBER] and the mechanical room. Staff U reported she had four other residents that
she had pre-dispensed medications for. She removed a medication cup from the top drawer of the cart and
identified the medications were for Resident #14. Staff U verified, at 5:26 p.m. on 4/19/22, she had
pre-dispensed medications for the residents in room [ROOM NUMBER] who were in the Dining Room,
room [ROOM NUMBER], and room [ROOM NUMBER]. Staff Member U walked away from the medication
cart and stated, you planning on giving me a long vacation, I hope so.
On 4/19/22 at 5:30 p.m., the 300-hall 2 medication cart was reviewed with Staff U. The observation included
the following:
- an insulin FlexPen prefilled syringe labeled with an illegible resident name and date. The staff member
stated it could be 4/17, 4/18, or 4/19.
- A container of Microdot Bleach wipes stored in the same drawer compartment with boxes of inhalation
solution, HFA inhalers, and a pre-filled Admelog syringe stored in a bag labeled for Novolog.
On 4/21/21 at 2:46 p.m., a review of the South medication room was conducted with Staff V, agency
Registered Nurse (RN). The review of the medication room identified a drawer with 13 prefilled syringes of
Heparin in it and was labeled Safe Needles. Staff V stated Heparin is patient-specific and did not know why
it was stored like that.
The policy - Medication Storage, implemented 11/2020 and reviewed 3/15/22, indicated it was the policy of
this facility to ensure all medications housed on our premises will be stored in the pharmacy and/or
medication rooms according to the manufacturer's recommendations and sufficient to ensure proper
sanitation, temperature, light, ventilation, moisture control, segregation, and security. The guidelines

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility's quality assurance (QA) and assessment committee
failed to implement an effective plan of action to correct deficient practice identified during the recertification
survey and complaint survey originally conducted 4/18/22 through 4/22/22 as evidenced by: 1) failure to
ensure an allegation of neglect was reported to state agencies for one (#5) of three residents sampled for
abuse and neglect (F609), 2) failure to ensure allegations of abuse and neglect were thoroughly
investigated for two (#5 and #7) of three residents sampled for abuse and neglect (F610), 3) failure to
monitor for behaviors and side effects for psychotropic medications and failure to limit as needed
psychotropic medications to 14 days for two (#1, #5) of three residents reviewed for psychotropic
medications (F758), and 4) failure to ensure the medication error rate was less than 5.00%. Twenty-eight
medication administration opportunities were observed, and twelve errors were identified for two (#1 and
#13) of 8 residents observed. These errors constituted a 42.8% medication error rate (F759).
Findings included:
1. On 6/30/22 at 3:05 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Regional Director of Clinical Services
(RDCS), Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), and the DON to discuss the facility's quality assurance
program. The facility's administrative team reviewed everything that they had done according to the plan of
correction for each deficiency cited during the survey ending on 4/22/22. They reported that the QA
committee met on 5/5/22 to discuss all tags cited during the survey ending 4/22/22. They met again on
5/27/22 and 6/23/22 to address all citations and found that the corrective action plan was effective with no
concerns. The facility's administrative team reported that if they had identified a problem, they would have
done a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) or updated/changed their audits, but they believed the plan was
effective, so no changes were made.
2. Review of the facility's Quality Assurance/Risk Management (QA/RM) and Quality
Assurance/Performance Improvement (QAPI) Policy/Plan, reviewed/revised November 2021, revealed:
Policy: It is the policy of this facility to develop and effective, comprehensive facility and discipline specific
Quality Assurance and Risk Management Program that focuses on the indicators or outcomes of resident
care and quality of life. The facility will coordinate and evaluate activities under the QAPI program, including
the development of Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) if necessary.
Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines:
d. Develop and implement appropriate PIPs to correct identified quality deficiencies.
3. The QAPI plan will address the following elements:
b. Process addressing how the committee will conduct activities necessary to identify and correct quality
deficiencies. Key components of this process include, but are not limited to, the following:

help and the assigned (agency) Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) came in. He told her he needed help and
some wipes. He reported that the CNA did bring the wipes, and then left the room. He reported that he
wiped as much as he could without help and needed more wipes. The resident stated he used the call light,
waited for 2 hours, and no one came. Resident #5 reported that he eventually used his phone to call the
front desk and ask for more wipes. After that, an unknown person brought the wipes and left the room. He
reported that the assigned CNA never came back to assist him with personal hygiene after having a bowel
movement.

to show you something. This writer followed, resident into his room. Resident stated, I am leaving this place;
I should not have to be covered in [expletive] for 2 hours. This writer assessed resident with no visible signs
of fecal matter or fecal smell emitting from resident at this time. Resident pointed to bedside commode. This
writer observed bag with feces and cleaning cloths inside. Resident stated, The aide would not help him
and I asked her to change the bed and she said why? At that time, the assigned aide walked into room and
asked the resident if he needed anything. I asked resident, with aide present, if he asked the aide for help
and she would not assist him? Resident stated, I am sitting on the toilet I shouldn't have to ask for help. This
writer reiterated to resident, did he ask assigned aide to assist him and she refused? Resident stated, No,
she helped me. Resident then stated, My bed is covered in [expletive], and I asked you to make it. This
writer observed an approximately 4 inches by 4 inches brown colored area on bed. Assigned aide at that
time stated, You asked me to make the bed. Resident then stated, Well I need you to make it again.
Assigned aide left room to gather linen. This writer removed bag of soiled items from commode as well as
bag from trash can next to commode . Resident is alert, oriented, able to make all needs known and
possesses a BIMS score of 15.
Interview on 6/29/22 at 3:25 PM with the Regional Nurse Consultant and the Nursing Home Administrator
(NHA) revealed that if a resident alleged sitting in filth for 2 hours, this should be considered an allegation of
neglect and should be investigated as such.
Interview on 6/29/22 at 4:15 PM with Staff A, LPN/UM and the Director of Nursing (DON), who also was the
facility's Risk Manager, revealed that this was not an allegation of neglect because when they entered the
resident's room, the bedside commode had stool in it, the garbage can next to the commode had stool
stained tissue in it, and the bed did have a brown substance on it which the resident could have caused
after the bed was made by the staff. The DON reported that she did not need to do anything else about the
documented incident because they interviewed the CNA at that time. The DON stated that the CNA
reported that the resident had asked for wipes which she provided, and the resident requested his bed to
be made, which she also did.
Follow-up interview on 6/30/22 at 9:34 AM with the DON/Risk Manager reported that there was no other
information regarding the incident involving Resident #5's allegation that he did not receive care. The
DON/Risk Manager confirmed that only the CNA involved was interviewed, but there was no statement
written and no statements or interviews were obtained from the resident or other residents and staff who
may have had knowledge of the incident or experienced a similar occurrence. The DON stated that the
allegation was not reported.
Review of the facility's incident log for the month of June 2022 revealed an incident dated 6/10/22 indicating
Other for Resident #7. Review of the incident revealed that on 6/10/22, Resident #7's roommate called the
front office and reported that a CNA hit Resident #7 in the face. Review of the facility's investigation packet
revealed an immediate and five-day federal report was completed. An investigation was started on 6/10/22
and the accused staff person was taken off of the schedule on 6/10/22. The facility's investigation packet
included two written statements from two CNA's (one being the alleged perpetrator, Staff F). Continued
review of the investigation packet revealed that there was no statement from Resident #7, no statement
from the roommate, no statements from the assigned nurse, and no statement from any other resident who
the accused staff member was assigned to.
On 6/30/22 at 9:31 AM, Resident #7 was observed seated in the common area. Interview with the resident
revealed he was waiting to take a shower. The resident reported that a staff member had hit him a few
weeks ago (resident could not recall the date), and the nurse took care of it. The resident

On 6/29/22 and 6/30/22 a revisit survey was conducted to ensure compliance with F758. The revisit survey
identified the following on-going concerns with F758:
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the active physician orders revealed Resident #1 had the following orders for psychotropic
medications:
Citalopram Hydrobromide 20 mg (milligrams) daily for depression with an order/start date of 6/9/22
Mirtazapine 7.5 mg at bedtime for depression with an order/start date of 6/9/22
Xanax 0.25 mg every 12 hours as needed (PRN) for anxiety with an order/start date of 6/9/22 (with no
14-day end date)
Record review of the care plan initiated on 6/9/22 and last reviewed on 6/27/22 revealed the resident was at
risk for complications related to the use of psychotropic drugs including antidepressants, antianxiety for
depression, and anxiety. The care plan goal was to have the smallest most effective dose without side
effects. Interventions included: monitor for continued need of medication as related to behavior and mood;
monitor for changes in mental status and functional level and report to physician as indicated; monitor for
side effects and consult physician and or pharmacist as needed.
Review of the June 2022 Medication Administration Record (MAR), Treatment Administration Record (TAR),
and progress notes revealed no monitoring for behaviors and side effects associated with the psychotropic
medications could be located.
During an interview on 06/30/22 at 2:01 p.m., the DON verified the Xanax order did not have an end date
and was ordered as needed. She also verified there was no behavior or side effect monitoring in place for
these medications. The DON reported possible negative outcomes of not monitoring behaviors and side
effects of psychotropic medications would be failure to provide a timely gradual dose reduction, not
adjusting medications, and not knowing if an adverse reaction to a medication was occurring.
On 07/01/22 at 3:36 p.m., the Pharmacy Manager stated that PRN psychotropics such as Xanax should
have a 14-day end date. He stated that the pharmacy will not send out more than 14 days of medication. He
stated that psychotropics such as antidepressants and antianxiety medications should have behavior and
side effect monitoring in place.
Record review of the facility's policy, Use of Psychotropic Medication, dated 01/22/22 revealed Policy:
Residents are not given psychotropic drugs unless the medication is necessary to treat a specific condition,
as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record, and the medication is beneficial to the resident, as
demonstrated by monitoring and documentation of the resident's response to the medication(s). Policy
Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: .9. PRN orders for all psychotropic drugs shall be used only when
the medication is necessary to treat a diagnosed specific condition that is documented in the clinical
record, and for a limited duration (i.e., 14 days). 10. The effects of the psychotropic medications on a
resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being will be evaluated on an ongoing basis, such as: .D.
in accordance with nurse assessments and medication monitoring parameters consistent with clinical
standards of practice, manufacturer's specifications, and

unable to connect with the physician. The physician called the facility and told them to have the pharmacy
call him. Staff A, UM and the DON got an order for a one-day dose of Hydrocodone 10 mg for Resident #1
from the physician. They placed a stat order on the Percocet, which means it will be at the facility within 2
hours. The DON stated Resident #1 had not asked for pain medication until 1:30 p.m. (Observed the
resident tell Staff C, LPN he had pain and wanted pain medication at 11:52 a.m.) The DON stated he was
offered Tylenol but declined wanting to wait on the Hydrocodone.
Review of the June 2022 MAR showed he received Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325 mg for pain at
1721 (5:21 p.m.). Per his orders he could have had a dose of Percocet at 10:15 a.m. if it had been available.
Review of the progress notes written for Resident #1 revealed on 06/29/22 an entry made at 18:00 (6:00
p.m.) written by Staff A, LPN/UM. The health status note stated at approximately 11:30 a.m. this writer was
alerted that resident did not receive scheduled 0900 medications. At this time writer notified Healthcare
Provider that 0900 scheduled medications were not administered including 0730 insulin. This writer
obtained new orders at this time, may administer 0900 medications unscheduled, may administer [blood
glucose monitoring] at 11:30, may discontinue Humalog Kwik Pen Solution Pen-injector 100 units/ml
(insulin Lispro (1 Unit Dial) may start Novolog Flex Pen Solution Pen-injector 100 unit / ml (Insulin Aspart) 8
units with meals. At approximately 12:30 p.m. resident complained of pain. Assigned licensed staff went to
pull narcotic from draw and was unavailable at this time. Pharmacy was called and acquired authorization
from pharmacy. This writer attempted to obtain Percocet with second licensed staff member. Percocet
unavailable from the medication dispensing system. This writer called Healthcare Provider, Physician, new
order obtained may give Norco 10-325 one-time dose only for pain management. Norco administered at
this time.
During observation and interview on 06/29/22 at 8:33 a.m. Staff C, LPN entered Resident #13's room. He
was sitting in his room with his breakfast tray in front of him. He had eaten part of his breakfast. He stated
that he had not received his insulin yet, and he was supposed to get it before he ate. Staff C performed a
blood glucose measurement (with an order time of 7:30 a.m.) on Resident #13 with a blood glucose result
of 429. Staff C stated the blood glucose results were outside of the sliding scale parameters, and she
needed to call the physician. Staff C received an order to administer 10 units of Novolog. At 8:50 a.m., Staff
C administered 10 units of Novolog insulin to Resident #13 in his left arm in the hallway. At this time, the
observation involving Resident #13 was discussed with Staff A and Staff C. Staff A stated her expectation
was for the nurse to call the physician if the medication was going to be administered late. Staff A, LPN/UM
verified that Staff C was administering medications late and the physician needed notifying.
Review of Resident #13's active physician orders revealed an order dated 6/26/22 for Novolog sliding scale
subcutaneously before meals for diabetes, call physician if blood sugar over 400 (scheduled at 7:30 a.m.).
Medication Admin Audit Report showed Novolog (Aspart) given on 06/29/22 at 9:31 a.m. by Staff C, LPN.
During an interview on 06/30/22 at 2:01 p.m., the DON verified the expectation was for the nurse to give the
medications timely. If they are not timely the nurse was to call the physician, make him aware, and obtain
an order to administer the medication outside of the parameters. The possible negative outcomes that could
occur related to late medications could include: if twice a day medication, they would be administering
doses too close together; if an insulin was missed and blood glucose results were elevated, they may have
to administer more insulin than desired; if blood pressure medications were not timely, the resident's blood
pressure may be elevated.
