What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 7 deficiencies, 3 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the resident's representative and physician of changes in condition for low blood pressures for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for changes in condition (Resident #2).Findings include: Review of Resident #2's admission record documented diagnoses to include pneumonia, unspecified organism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation (an increase in the severity of an illness), acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide levels in the blood), low back pain unspecified, cognitive communication deficit, other malaise, muscle weakness generalized, orthopnea (shortness of breath that occurs when lying down), dehydration, dependence on supplemental oxygen, hyperlipidemia unspecified (high cholesterol), essential primary hypertension (high blood pressure), and hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood).Review of Resident #2's vitals documented a blood pressure (B/P) of 83/61 mmhg (millimeters of mercury) on 6/9/2025 at 2217 (10:17 PM), a B/P of 80/56 mmhg on 6/10/2025 at 2046 (8:46 PM), a B/P of 83/43 mmhg on 6/12/2025 at 2046 (8:46 PM), and a B/P of 80/48 mmhg on 6/16/2025 at 0044 (12:44 AM).Review of Resident #2's nursing progress notes did not contain documentation on 6/9/2025, 6/10/2025, 6/12/2025, and on 6/16/2025 that Resident #2's representative or physician were notified of the changes in the resident's blood pressure results.During a telephone interview on 10/6/2025 at 6:41 PM, Resident #2's Representative stated, They never called and told me this. They should have let me know when his blood pressures are low.During an interview on 10/7/2025 at 3:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, All staff should administer medications as they are ordered and call the doctor or nurse practitioner if there is any change in vital signs. I don't see notes about his [Resident #2] low blood pressure. We should call and notify the on-call [provider]. It would be a change of condition. There should be a note and notification to his [Resident #2's] [representative] and to his doctor or the on-call nurse practitioner. I don't see that was done. At this point, I question the skill and knowledge of the staff.During a telephone interview on 10/8/2025 at 9:17 AM, Staff M, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated. I didn't call his [Resident #2's representative] or the nurse practitioner. Sometimes patients have low blood pressure at night. I did not recheck the blood pressure.During a telephone interview on 10/8/2025 at 9:58 AM, Medical Doctor (MD) #1 stated, They [nursing staff] should notify the clinical team for any blood pressures that are in the 80s. I was not notified of this.During a telephone interview on 10/8/2025 at 9:55 AM, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) #3 stated, I was not aware that he [Resident #2] had any blood pressure concerns until the day he left. I was not called by any staff that his blood pressure was low. They should have called and followed the orders or gotten additional orders to hold medications and should recheck blood pressures when they are in the 80s.Review of the policy and procedure titled Change of Condition with the last approval date of 2/7/2025 read, Policy: The center is to promptly notify the patient/resident, the attending physician, and the resident representative when there is a change in the status or condition.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure all residents were free from medical neglect by failing to ensure staff implemented the policies and procedures for medication administration for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for intravenous (IV) antibiotic medication administration (Resident #1). The facility failure to ensure residents were free from medical neglect by failing to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors when the residents were not administered the prescribed antibiotics per the physician order and failure to ensure the nursing staff had appropriate IV (intravenously) certification to administer IV medications and follow the policy/procedure related to medication administration, physician notification, obtaining stat [derived from the Latin word statim, meaning immediately] orders for medication and equipment, resulted in Immediate Jeopardy. Resident #1 was admitted on [DATE] with physician orders for Vancomycin 1500 mg IV every 8 hours intravenously for infection (osteomyelitis, an infection in the bone). On 9/8/2025 at approximately 10:00 PM, Resident #1 was administered one incorrect dose of Vancomycin 1000 mg. Resident #1 was not administered any further doses of Vancomycin 1500 mg until 9/12/2025 at 12:00 AM. Resident #1 missed 8 doses of Vancomycin between 9/9/2025 and 9/12/2025. On 9/11/2025, Resident #1 began to experience a change in condition of altered mental status, identified by a family member, who requested on 9/12/2025, that Resident #1 be sent to Emergency Department where he was diagnosed with sepsis [a life threatening emergency that damages the body's organs and can cause death]. Missing antibiotic doses can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, serious harm and/or death, and lack of staff competency related to nursing staff having appropriate IV certification, can result in serious harm including damage to veins and the injection site, an air embolism, phlebitis, and blood clots, injury and/or death.The Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on October 10, 2025, at 11:45 AM.Findings include:Review of the policy and procedure titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation last reviewed 02/07/2025 read, Policy: It is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center that he/she be afforded basic human rights, including the right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation and/or misappropriation of property.

Employees at the center are charged with a continuing obligation to treat residents so they are free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and/or misappropriation of property. No employee may at any time commit an act of physical, psychological, or emotional abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and or misappropriation of property against any resident. Violation of this standard will subject employees to disciplinary action including dismissal provided herein. Definitions: Neglect is the failure of the center, its employees or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish or emotional distress.Review of Resident's #1's Discharge summary dated [DATE] from [Name of local hospital] read, Outpatient IV ABX (antibiotic) orders: 1.

His VP shunt is compressible. Will further evaluate additional causes of AMS with labs and imaging. Anticipate admission. ED [Emergency Department] Clinical Impression: Osteomyelitis of left femur, unspecified type, septic hip s/p [NAME] procedure, abscess of hip, left, sepsis, due to unspecified organism, unspecified whether acute organ dysfunction present, acute encephalopathy [a disturbance in brain function that causes confusion and memory loss].Review of Resident #1 [Name of Hospital] medical record titled History and Physical dated 9/12/2025 read, [Resident #1's name] is a 39 y.o. [year old] male with medical history significant for spina bifida occulta with hydrocephalus s/p VP shunt and [NAME] spinal rod placement, paraplegia and chronically wheelchair bound admitted for altered mental status secondary to sepsis from acute on chronic osteomyelitis of the left hip. The patient was recently hospitalized from 8/11-9/8/2025 for sepsis secondary to acute on chronic osteomyelitis and underwent a [NAME] procedure. He was then discharged to SNF [skilled nursing facility] for rehabilitation and continued IV antibiotic course for treatment of his acute infection. He has now been brought back to the ED due to altered mental status. He is currently accompanied by his mother who is at bedside. She states that the patient has been at the facility for several days since being discharged with IV antibiotics, however she has been concerned as she does not believe he has been receiving these medications or at least on a reliable schedule. She states that he began to act abnormal yesterday at which time he had completely forgotten the fact that he had just been hospitalized for two weeks. Today is alert and oriented only to self. He struggles with location, year, and current president. On arrival to the ED, the patient was found to be afebrile [not having a fever] with vitals remarkable for sinus tachycardia. Labs are remarkable for leukocytosis (WBC 15) and elevated CRP [C-Reactive Protein, indicative of inflammation in the body] (21.14). CT [Computed Tomography] imaging has revealed acute on chronic osteomyelitis of the left hip with details concerning for septic joint formation. There is also noted to likely be subperiosteal abscess (infection to the tissue located the surface of the bones) formation along the medical margin of the femoral head with a communicating sinus tract to the posterior medial skin of the left proximal thigh.

Underwent debridement during this time (see above). Unfortunately, the patient may not have received his antibiotics in an appropriate manner and may be contributory to the patient's current presentation.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few medication. I called the nurse practitioner; I believe her name is [APRN #1's name]. She [APRN #1] told me to extend the order for vancomycin for an extra day, so [Resident #1's name] would have the full course of the antibiotics. The pharmacy courier came in around 7:05 [PM] and brought me his medications. I passed them on to the night shift nurse because it was getting late. I don't think I wrote a note because I was in a rush to leave. I believe I should have documented the conversation with [name of APRN #1]. I don't know really if I can give the medication without a pump and I think that there is vancomycin in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine]. I don't think we can ask for a stat [derived from the Latin word statim, meaning immediately] delivery from the pharmacy.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 1:38 PM, Staff B, LPN stated, [Resident #1's name] was an admission from the day before [9/8/2025]. The night-shift nurse [Staff E, LPN] told me that the nurse who admitted the resident did not put in [Resident #1's name] medication orders, so [Staff E's name] was not able to administer any medications for him. I can't remember if she called a provider, but I thought she had gotten an order to hold the vancomycin. If the medication was available in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine] it should be administered. I know I should have notified the provider of the missed medications, and I should have documented the notification and any orders or instructions from the provider. I'm not sure if we can do a stat order from the pharmacy, we just regularly call the pharmacy and tell them we are waiting for the medication.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 3:20 PM Staff E, LPN stated, Most of [Resident #1's name] medications were not available on the night shift of 9/8/25 - 9/9/25. The pharmacy doesn't come to the facility until 6:00 AM. Medication orders are typically entered to start the following day [after admission] because of the delivery times from the pharmacy, but [Resident #1's name] medications were ordered to start on the day of his admission [DATE]]. For the medications that were scheduled for my shift I was able to administer his cefepime because it was available in the [name of automated medication dispensing machine]. There was not a dose of vancomycin in the [name of automated medication dispensing machine] but there was overflow of vancomycin in the med [medication] room, as well as an overflow pump, so I was able to administer the ordered dose of vancomycin. I was not able to administer the morning dose of cefepime. I might have notified the doctor that I could not give the cefepime, but I am not sure.

Medications were not on hand but were available in [name of the automatic medication dispensing machine]. MAR reflected both medications scheduled for administration around 2100 [9:00 PM] on 9/8 [2025]. Cefepime was administered IV first, followed by vancomycin. Vancomycin infusion was prolonged due to patient's arm being constricted, which intermittently stopped the infusion. At 0600 [6:00 AM] on 9/9 [2025], MAR again showed scheduled doses for both vancomycin and cefepime. Unable to administer at that time because the vancomycin infusion from the previous evening was still running. Also, when the medications were delivered from the pharmacy, only the vancomycin was supplied; cefepime was not included in the delivery. This information was passed on in report with recommendation that administration times for vancomycin and cefepime be adjusted accordingly.Review of an email from Staff A, LPN addressed to Staff K, Previous Interim DON dated 9/17/25 at 8:28 AM read, To whom it may concern: I was [Resident #1's name] nurse for a very short period of time of roughly 2 - 3 hours on September 9th [2025] after he moved from room [room number] to [room number]. During that time I asked the nurse who had him at the beginning of the day if he had his 4:00 PM dose of vancomycin and she said no, it was not delivered. I called the pharmacy to confirm and they stated the medication was on the evening medication delivery. As such, I contacted one of the providing APRN's of the situation and got orders to extend dose of antibiotics for another day. I changed the order to extend so that once the antibiotic was delivered, he would get the full course of his antibiotic treatment. During shift change, the pharmacy delivery with [Resident #1's name] medication came along with the pump and I was also the one who signed for those, and I relayed the information to the oncoming shift.During an interview on 10/7/2025 at 4:10 PM, Staff C, Pharmacy Account Manager stated, I am not familiar with the facility having any overflow medications or overstock of antibiotics, and the pharmacy does not leave extra IV pumps at the facility. For a resident admitted to the facility on a Monday at or around 5:00 PM, the medications would have been delivered the following morning. We do have a process for stat deliveries, and we would have routinely delivered within three and a half to four hours when ordered stat. During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 4:20 PM, Staff D, Lead Pharmacist stated, We make two deliveries to the facility daily. The deliveries leave the pharmacy at 2:00 PM and 2:00 AM, and then the deliveries arrive at the facility between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM. I do not have knowledge of overflow or overstock medications. It was not part of the standard protocol for the pharmacy to supply any medications for general use outside of what was in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine]. There are no extra IV pumps supplied to the facility. The facility can get a stat delivery from the pharmacy. For any medication ordered stat, we begin working on them as soon as we receive the order. The turnaround time for stat orders is four hours. If an IV pump was malfunctioning a replacement pump could be ordered stat. Vancomycin should be provided through an infusion pump to ensure proper administration and prevention of complications from administering to rapidly such as RMS [Red Man Syndrome, a type of allergic reaction that can occur with vancomycin administration] which typically could occur if vancomycin is infused too rapidly. We generally have orders to monitor vancomycin and manage the medication. Ideally in monitoring we are evaluating the Vanco [vancomycin] trough and adjusting doses from there, anything less than 10 is associated with higher levels of antibiotic resistance, ideally we attempt to maintain levels between 10-20 for optimal effect to maintain the drugs efficacy and minimize nephro [nephrotoxicity-damage to the kidneys] and ototoxicity toxicity [damage to hearing].During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 8:55 AM, APRN #1 [Advanced Practice (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105460 If continuation sheet Page 8 of 33 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105460 B.

I did not receive a call prior to my visit regarding the resident [Resident #1] or any issues with his antibiotics. I was asked by a facility nurse on 9/10/2025 if [Resident #1's name] vancomycin could be held because it was not available in the facility, but I believed the hold was not necessary as he was receiving his antibiotic infusion when I was in his room on 9/10/2025. I would give an order to hold antibiotics for one dose if the medications were on their way to the facility from the pharmacy. If it was more than one dose, I know what the resident was receiving in the hospital and that the medication was available in the facility. So, I would have given an order for that antibiotic to be given, or I would have determined if there was another medication available in the facility that I could order. I only recall speaking with a nurse regarding [Resident #1's name] on 9/10/2025 prior to seeing him. I do not recall speaking with anyone regarding a malfunctioning IV pump or giving orders to hold his vancomycin related to the issues with the IV pump. During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, When a resident is admitted the process is to get the orders in the computer so pharmacy can get them delivered. If the medications are not available, the nurses need to contact the physician. The nurses should contact the pharmacy and ask about getting medications from the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine] or ask for a stat delivery. There were also sister pharmacies they can contact for getting medications if there is a problem. We do have sister facilities they can call to get an IV pump. If medications are not in the facility for administration the nurses need to call the doctor and follow the physician's orders and document the process. The nurses should ask the doctor if there is an alternative medication they can give. The reasonable time frame for a nurse to wait on medications is an hour. If they were unable to administer an ordered antibiotic to a resident, the resident should be sent to the hospital. I have concerns regarding the competence of the facility nurses.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 9:50 AM, the Medical Doctor stated, I do not recall being contacted regarding the resident [Resident #1] or any issues with his antibiotics. It was unfortunate that the resident did not receive his ordered antibiotics and of his readmission to the hospital. Residents have got to get the medications ordered for them. It is a shame that they were not administered, they should have been given. I'm aware that [missed doses of IV antibiotics] would cause concern for his admission for sepsis, not getting the medication may be a concern.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 10:59 AM, APRN #2 stated, I got a message on 9/9/25 at 6:43 PM requesting that [Resident #1's name] vancomycin schedule be extended due to him missing a dose. I instructed the nurse to contact the pharmacy regarding the dosing of vancomycin. I was contacted only one time regarding only one missed dose of vancomycin. I would have only ordered the vanco to be held for one dose.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 11:50 AM, Resident #1's mother stated, My son [Resident #1] is still in the hospital due to the bacteria he tested positive for when he was readmitted , and that he had to be on antibiotics for twelve hours out of every twenty-four. [Resident #1's name] had not received his vancomycin while he was in the facility, and I received conflicting information from the staff regarding the reason it was not being administered. [Resident #1's name] called me on 9/11/25 and told me that he did not know what was happening and he was confused. I was concerned about his altered mental status, and I called the Unit Manager in the facility to report my concerns. I was told that the nursing staff had not noticed any changes in his condition, but they would obtain labs. On 9/12/25 at around 2:00 PM [Resident #1's name] called me and told me he did not know where he was. I called the facility, reported my concerns and requested that he be transferred to the hospital.During an interview on 10/09/2025 at 8:05 AM, Staff G, LPN stated, I do not remember how many doses of vancomycin [Resident #1's name] had been scheduled during my shift on (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105460 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 33 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105460 B.

I spoke with the in-house nurse practitioner, [Name of APRN #1], who was in the building at that time. The nurse practitioner gave an order to hold the vanco, but I don't remember if the NP [nurse practitioner] said to hold the vanco for one dose or for one day. On 9/11[2025] there was a stat lab to check his vancomycin level. I had a conversation with a provider regarding the results of the vanco level and it would have been [APRN #1's name] I would have called.

The pump arrived before the end of my shift on the day before he went to the hospital. During an interview on 10/09/2025 at 10:37 AM the Administrator stated, Nurses are educated in orientation regarding medication administration and the associated processes, including ordering medications and equipment from the pharmacy. The expectation was that when a resident was admitted their medication orders were sent to the pharmacy. The facility had previously had issues regarding medication availability and administration, and it was a topic they all focused on.

He was then discharged to SNF [skilled nursing facility] for rehabilitation and continued IV antibiotic course for treatment of his acute infection. He has now been brought back to the ED due to altered mental status. He is currently accompanied by his mother who is at bedside. She states that the patient has been at the facility for several days since being discharged with IV antibiotics, however she has been concerned as she does not believe he has been receiving these medications or at least on a reliable schedule. She states that he began to act abnormal yesterday at which time he had completely forgotten the fact that he had just been hospitalized for two weeks. Today is alert and oriented only to self. He struggles with location, year, and current president. On arrival to the ED, the patient was found to be afebrile [not having a fever] with vitals remarkable for sinus tachycardia.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some [Resident #1's name] had been transferred from another room during my shift [9/9/2025]. [Name of Staff B] had [Resident #1's name] prior to me and had called pharmacy who said they would be bringing his medication [vancomycin]. I called the pharmacy again and the pharmacy said they were enroute with the medication. I called the nurse practitioner; I believe her name is [APRN #1's name]. She [APRN #1] told me to extend the order for vancomycin for an extra day, so [Resident #1's name] would have the full course of the antibiotics. The pharmacy courier came in around 7:05 [PM] and brought me his medications. I passed them on to the night shift nurse because it was getting late. I don't think I wrote a note because I was in a rush to leave. I believe I should have documented the conversation with [name of APRN #1]. I don't know really if I can give the medication without a pump and I think that there is vancomycin in the [Name of the Automated Medication Dispensing Machine]. I don't think we can ask for a stat [derived from the Latin word statim, meaning immediately] delivery from the pharmacy.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 1:38 PM, Staff B, LPN stated, [Resident #1's name] was an admission from the day before [9/8/2025]. The night-shift nurse [Staff E, LPN] told me that the nurse who admitted the resident did not put in [Resident #1's name] medication orders, so [Staff E's name] was not able to administer any medications for him. I can't remember if she called a provider, but I thought she had gotten an order to hold the vancomycin. If the medication was available in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine] it should be administered. I know I should have notified the provider of the missed medications, and I should have documented the notification and any orders or instructions from the provider. I'm not sure if we can do a stat order from the pharmacy, we just regularly call the pharmacy and tell them we are waiting for the medication.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 3:20 PM Staff E, LPN stated, Most of [Resident #1's name] medications were not available on the night shift of 9/8/25 - 9/9/25. The pharmacy doesn't come to the facility until 6:00 AM. Medication orders are typically entered to start the following day [after admission] because of the delivery times from the pharmacy, but [Resident #1's name] medications were ordered to start on the day of his admission [DATE]]. For the medications that were scheduled for my shift I was able to administer his cefepime because it was available in the [name of automated medication dispensing machine]. There was not a dose of vancomycin in the [name of automated medication dispensing machine] but there was overflow of vancomycin in the med [medication] room, as well as an overflow pump, so I was able to administer the ordered dose of vancomycin. I was not able to administer the morning dose of cefepime. I might have notified the doctor that I could not give the cefepime, but I am not sure. I did notify management that I did not give the cefepime, but I did not document the notification because I was already off of the [medication] cart. I know I should have written a note. Review of a form titled [Name of Pharmacy Provider] Transactions by Patient date 9/8/2025 documented vancomycin 1 gm one vial was removed at 7:50 PM, cefepime 1 gm two vials were removed, one at 7:49 PM and one at 7:53 PM.

MAR reflected both medications scheduled for administration around 2100 [9:00 PM] on 9/8 [2025]. Cefepime was administered IV first, followed by vancomycin.

This information was passed on in report with recommendation that administration times for vancomycin and cefepime be adjusted accordingly. Additional interviews were attempted 10/8/2025 and 10/9/2025 with Staff E, LPN via telephone to provide clarification of the removal of 100 ml of sodium chloride and vancomycin 1 gram and two vials of cefepime and no additional sodium chloride removed from the automated medication dispensing machine for vancomycin and cefepime IV administration. The physician orders document vancomycin 1500 mg (1.5 grams) in 300 ml of sodium chloride and cefepime in 50 ml of sodium chloride. On the date of the exit, 10/10/2025, no return call was received.

Medication removed from [name of automatic medication dispensing machine] right med but wrong dosage and dosage not verified before administration. During an interview on 10/7/2025 at 4:10 PM, Staff C, Pharmacy Account Manager stated, I am not familiar with the facility having any overflow medications or overstock of antibiotics, and the pharmacy does not leave extra IV pumps at the facility. For a resident admitted to the facility on a Monday at or around 5:00 PM, the medications would have been delivered the following morning. We do have a process for stat deliveries, and we would have routinely delivered within three and a half to four hours when ordered stat. During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 4:20 PM, Staff D, Lead Pharmacist stated, We make two deliveries to the facility daily. The deliveries leave the pharmacy at 2:00 PM and 2:00 AM, and then the deliveries arrive at the facility between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM. I do not have knowledge of overflow or overstock medications. It was not part of the standard protocol for the pharmacy to supply any medications for general use outside of what was in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine]. There are no extra IV pumps supplied to the facility. The facility can get a stat delivery from the pharmacy. For any medication ordered stat, we begin working on them as soon as we receive the order. The turnaround time for stat orders is four hours. If an IV pump was malfunctioning a replacement pump could be ordered stat. Vancomycin should be provided through an infusion pump to ensure proper administration and prevention of complications from administering to rapidly such as RMS [Red Man Syndrome, a type of allergic reaction that can occur with vancomycin administration] which typically could occur if vancomycin is infused too rapidly. We generally have orders to monitor vancomycin and manage the medication. Ideally in monitoring we are evaluating the Vanco [vancomycin] trough and adjusting doses from there, anything less than 10 is associated with higher levels of antibiotic resistance, ideally we attempt to maintain levels between 10-20 for optimal effect to maintain the drugs efficacy and minimize nephro [nephrotoxicity-damage to the kidneys] and ototoxicity toxicity [damage to hearing].During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 8:55 AM, APRN #1 [Advanced Practice Registered Nurse] stated, I saw [Resident #1's name] on 9/10/2025.

I only recall speaking with a nurse regarding [Resident #1's name] on 9/10/2025 prior to seeing him. I do not recall speaking with anyone regarding a malfunctioning IV pump or giving orders to hold his vancomycin related to the issues with the IV pump. During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, When a resident is admitted the process is to get the orders in the computer so pharmacy can get them delivered. If the medications are not available, the nurses need to contact the physician. The nurses should contact the pharmacy and ask about getting medications from the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine] or ask for a stat delivery. There were also sister pharmacies they can contact for getting medications if there is a problem. We do have sister facilities they can call to get an IV pump. If medications are not in the facility for administration the nurses need to call the doctor and follow the physician's orders and document the process. The nurses should ask the doctor if there is an alternative medication they can give. The reasonable time frame for a nurse to wait on medications is an hour. If they were unable to administer an ordered antibiotic to a resident, the resident should be sent to the hospital. I have concerns regarding the competence of the facility nurses.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 9:50 AM, the Medical Doctor stated, I do not recall being contacted regarding the resident [Resident #1] or any issues with his antibiotics. It was unfortunate that the resident did not receive his ordered antibiotics and of his readmission to the hospital. Residents have got to get the medications ordered for them. It is a shame that they were not administered, they should have been given. I'm aware that [missed doses of IV antibiotics] would cause concern for his admission for sepsis, not getting the medication may be a concern.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 10:59 AM, APRN #2 stated, I got a message on 9/9/25 at 6:43 PM requesting that [Resident #1's name] vancomycin schedule be extended due to him missing a dose. I instructed the nurse to contact the pharmacy regarding the dosing of vancomycin. I was contacted only one time regarding only one missed dose of vancomycin.

[Resident #1's name] had not received his vancomycin while he was in the facility, and I received conflicting information from the staff regarding the reason it was not being administered. [Resident #1's name] called me on 9/11/25 and told me that he did not know what was happening and he was confused. I was concerned about his altered mental status, and I called the Unit Manager in the facility to report my concerns. I was told that the nursing staff had not noticed any changes in his condition, but they would obtain labs. On 9/12/25 at around 2:00 PM [Resident #1's name] called me and told me he did not know where he was. I called the facility, reported my concerns and requested that he be transferred to the hospital.During an interview on 10/09/2025 at 8:05 AM, Staff G, LPN stated, I do not remember how many doses of vancomycin [Resident #1's name] had been scheduled during my shift on 9/10/2025.

MAR reflected both medications scheduled for administration around 2100 [9:00 PM] on 9/8 [2025]. Cefepime was administered IV first, followed by vancomycin. Vancomycin infusion was prolonged due to patient's arm being constricted, which intermittently stopped the infusion. At 0600 [6:00 AM] on 9/9 [2025], MAR again showed scheduled doses for both vancomycin and cefepime. Unable to administer at that time because the vancomycin infusion from the previous evening was still running. Also, when the medications were delivered from the pharmacy, only the vancomycin was supplied; cefepime was not included in the delivery. This information was passed on in report with recommendation that administration times for vancomycin and cefepime be adjusted accordingly.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 1:36 PM, Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, [Resident #1's name] had been transferred from another room during my shift [9/9/2025]. [Name of Staff B] had [Resident #1's name] prior to me and had called pharmacy who said they would be bringing his medication [vancomycin]. I called the pharmacy again and the pharmacy said they were enroute with the medication. I called the nurse practitioner; I believe her name is [APRN #1's name]. She [APRN #1] told me to extend the order for vancomycin for an extra day, so [Resident #1's name] would have the full course of the antibiotics.

I passed them on to the night shift nurse because it was getting late. I don't think I wrote a note because I was in a rush to leave. I believe I should have documented the conversation with [name of APRN #1]. I don't know really if I can give the medication without a pump and I think that there is vancomycin in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine]. I don't think we can ask for a stat [derived from the Latin word statim, meaning immediately] delivery from the pharmacy.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 1:38 PM, Staff B, LPN stated, [Resident #1's name] was an admission from the day before [9/8/2025]. The night-shift nurse [Staff E, LPN] told me that the nurse who admitted the resident did not put in [Resident #1's name] medication orders, so [Staff E's name] was not able to administer any medications for him. I can't remember if she called a provider, but I thought she had gotten an order to hold the vancomycin. If the medication was available in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine] it should be administered. I know I should have notified the provider of the missed medications, and I should have documented the notification and any orders or instructions from the provider. I'm not sure if we can do a stat order from the pharmacy, we just regularly call the pharmacy and tell them we are waiting for the medication.During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 3:20 PM Staff E, LPN stated, Most of [Resident #1's name] medications were not available on the night shift of 9/8/25 - 9/9/25. The pharmacy doesn't come to the facility until 6:00 AM. Medication orders are typically entered to start the following day [after admission] because of the delivery times from the pharmacy, but [Resident #1's name] medications were ordered to start on the day of his admission [DATE]]. For the medications that were scheduled for my shift I was able to administer his cefepime because it was available in the [name of automated medication dispensing machine]. There was not a dose of vancomycin in the [name of automated medication dispensing machine] but there was overflow of vancomycin in the med [medication] room, as well as an overflow pump, so I was able to administer the ordered dose of vancomycin. I was not able to administer the morning dose of cefepime. I might have notified the doctor that I could not give the cefepime, but I am not sure. I did notify management that I did not give the cefepime, but I did not document the notification because I was already off of the [medication] cart. I know I should have written a note. During an interview on 10/7/2025 at 4:10 PM, Staff C, Pharmacy Account Manager stated, I am not familiar with the facility having any overflow medications or overstock of antibiotics, and the pharmacy does not leave extra IV pumps at the facility. For a resident admitted to the facility on a Monday at or around 5:00 PM, the medications would have been delivered the following morning. We do have a process for stat deliveries, and we would have routinely delivered within three and a half to four hours when ordered stat. During an interview on 10/07/2025 at 4:20 PM, Staff D, Lead Pharmacist stated, We make two deliveries to the facility daily. The deliveries leave the pharmacy at 2:00 PM and 2:00 AM, and then the deliveries arrive at the facility between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM. I do not have knowledge of overflow or overstock medications. It was not part of the standard protocol for the pharmacy to supply any medications for general use outside of what was in the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine]. There are no extra IV pumps supplied to the facility. The facility can get a stat delivery from the pharmacy. For any medication ordered stat, we begin working on them as soon as we receive the order. The turnaround time for stat orders is four hours. If an IV pump was malfunctioning a replacement pump could be ordered stat. Vancomycin should be provided through an infusion pump to ensure proper administration and prevention of complications from administering to rapidly such as RMS [Red Man Syndrome, a type of allergic reaction that can occur with vancomycin administration] which typically could occur if vancomycin is infused too rapidly. We generally have orders to monitor vancomycin and manage the medication.

I did not receive a call prior to my visit regarding the resident [Resident #1] or any issues with his antibiotics. I was asked by a facility nurse on 9/10/2025 if [Resident #1's name] vancomycin could be held because it was not available in the facility, but I believed the hold was not necessary as he was receiving his antibiotic infusion when I was in his room on 9/10/2025. I would give an order to hold antibiotics for one dose if the medications were on their way to the facility from the pharmacy. If it was more than one dose, I know what the resident was receiving in the hospital and that the medication was available in the facility. So, I would have given an order for that antibiotic to be given, or I would have determined if there was another medication available in the facility that I could order. I only recall speaking with a nurse regarding [Resident #1's name] on 9/10/2025 prior to seeing him. I do not recall speaking with anyone regarding a malfunctioning IV pump or giving orders to hold his vancomycin related to the issues with the IV pump. During an interview on 10/8/2025 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, When a resident is admitted the process is to get the orders in the computer so pharmacy can get them delivered. If the medications are not available, the nurses need to contact the physician. The nurses should contact the pharmacy and ask about getting medications from the [name of the automated medication dispensing machine] or ask for a stat delivery. There were also sister pharmacies they can contact for getting medications if there is a problem. We do have sister facilities they can call to get an IV pump. If medications are not in the facility for administration the nurses need to call the doctor and follow the physician's orders and document the process. The nurses should ask the doctor if there is an alternative medication they can give. The reasonable time frame for a nurse to wait on medications is an hour. If they were unable to administer an ordered antibiotic to a resident, the resident should be sent to the hospital. I have concerns regarding the competence of the facility nurses.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 9:50 AM, the Medical Doctor stated, I do not recall being contacted regarding the resident [Resident #1] or any issues with his antibiotics. It was unfortunate that the resident did not receive his ordered antibiotics and of his readmission to the hospital. Residents have got to get the medications ordered for them. It is a shame that they were not administered, they should have been given. I'm aware that [missed doses of IV antibiotics] would cause concern for his admission for sepsis, not getting the medication may be a concern.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 10:59 AM, APRN #2 stated, I got a message on 9/9/25 at 6:43 PM requesting that [Resident #1's name] vancomycin schedule be extended due to him missing a dose. I instructed the nurse to contact the pharmacy regarding the dosing of vancomycin. I was contacted only one time regarding only one missed dose of vancomycin. I would have only ordered the vanco to be held for one dose.During an interview on 10/08/2025 at 11:50 AM, Resident #1's mother stated, My son [Resident #1] is still in the hospital due to the bacteria he tested positive for when he was readmitted , and that he had to be on antibiotics for twelve hours out of every twenty-four. [Resident #1's name] had not received his vancomycin while he was in the facility, and I received conflicting information from the staff regarding the reason it was not being administered.During an interview on 10/09/2025 at 8:05 AM, Staff G, LPN stated, I do not remember how many doses of vancomycin [Resident #1's name] had been scheduled during my shift on 9/10/2025.

I spoke with the in-house nurse practitioner, [Name of APRN #1], who was in the building at that time. The nurse practitioner gave an order to hold the vanco, but I don't remember if the NP [nurse practitioner] said to hold the vanco for one dose or for one day.
