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 ensure 1. one newly admitted resident (#161)
out of 11 new admissions sampled received physician ordered medications for pain and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) the night of admission, and 2. failed to ensure three low air loss mattresses for
residents (#90, #76 & #82) were set according to the residents' needs and manufacturer's instructions for
three of four days observed of sixteen residents with air mattresses.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. During an interview with Resident #161 on 9/28/21 at 9:27 a.m. the resident stated on Thursday, 9/23/21
he arrived at the facility at 5:45 p.m. and did not receive any pain medication or breathing treatments for his
COPD until 8:00 a.m. the next morning (9/24/21). The resident stated he had back surgery and lifted his left
hand that was in a splint and stated these are the reason he had pain. Resident #161 was observed with
oxygen at 3 liters and stated he needed his breathing treatments around the clock and did not get them the
night he came in. He stated he went all night without pain medications or Albuterol until 8:00 a.m. the next
morning.
During an interview with Resident #161 on 9/29/21 at 9:20 a.m. the resident stated he was still upset that
he did not get his medication the night of his admission on [DATE] for pain and COPD and his friend had
called the police for him, which did not help and he received his medication the next morning around 8:00
a.m. Resident #161 said the nurse did not come back in to check on him that night after the police left until
8:00 a.m. the next morning.
During an interview with Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 9/29/21 at 9:23 a.m. he stated new
residents should receive medications the night they are admitted and the facility has an emergency drug kit
(EDK) that includes pain medication and breathing treatments. If they are not in the EDK the pharmacy has
a 10:00 p.m. delivery depending on when the medications are put in the computer. Staff E, LPN confirmed
a resident admitted at 5:45 p.m. should be able to get meds (medications) at 9:00 p.m. or on the 10:00 p.m.
delivery if entered timely. If they need to, they can use the EDK and should not have to wait until morning.
An interview on 9/29/21 at 11:04 a.m. with Staff F, LPN confirmed the pharmacy delivers the EDK twice a
week and replaces the box. The EDK kit on the third floor contains non narcotics such as Albuterol which
Staff F, LPN confirmed was available in the box and confirmed Resident #161 did not have medications
removed from the box. Staff F, LPN said the EDK with controlled substances was on the third floor and
stated the pharmacy delivers medication three times daily around 3 or 4 p.m., 10 p.m. to midnight and 6
a.m. so the resident should not have to wait until 8:00 a.m. to get medications if they were admitted at 5:45
p.m.

An interview was conducted with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 09/29/21 at 12:32 p.m. She
confirmed she was the assigned nurse that day for Resident #5, and cares for her often. The Dialysis
Communication Sheets were reviewed with Staff A including those for dates 9/28, 9/25, 9/23, and 9/16
which she confirmed had been prepared and signed by her. She confirmed the sheets were missing entries
from the dialysis center and/or had incomplete entries. She said that it was hit or miss whether the dialysis
center completed their section of the form. She could not provide a concrete response for what the facility
expectation was when she received an incomplete form, but did confirm she was supposed to call the
dialysis center and get the information if it was missing. Regarding the incomplete sheet from 09/28/21 she
said, I called yesterday, and they said they would send the sheet with the next one.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 09/29/21 at 4:03 p.m. The incomplete
Dialysis Communication Sheets were reviewed with her, and she confirmed they were not complete and
said that was not acceptable. She said the expectation was that if a nurse received an incomplete form,
they were to call the dialysis enter and ask for the information via verbal report or via fax. She said that a
nurse's signature on the bottom section of the form titled facility to complete this section upon return from
dialysis meant they were attesting that the form was reviewed and complete. She said she had not been
made aware sheets were not being completed, and said, All the nurses have been trained and oriented on
what to do, and said, Unit managers should be auditing the sheets the day after for completion.
Review of facility policy titled, End-Stage Renal Disease, Care of a Resident with, revised September 2010,
revealed that education and training of staff included specifics on the type of assessment data that must be
gathered about the resident's condition on a daily or per shift basis. The policy outlined that agreements
between the facility and contracted dialysis providers included how information would be shared between
facilities about resident's care.

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.
Based on observation, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to store a medication in a
sanitary manner for one resident (#262) of eight residents sampled during the task of medication
administration.

An observation of a medication administration was performed on 09/29/21 at 9:38 a.m. Staff A, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) brought the manufacturer's external packaging box for Spiriva Respimat from the
medication cart into Resident 262's room. Staff A placed the packaging on a bedside table while she

picked it up and went into the bathroom where she placed the medication box down on top of the toilet tank
to perform hand hygiene. She then picked up the box, exited the room and returned the box to the
medication cart amongst the other medications.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Storage of Medications, revised in November of 2020, revealed under
