Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
Based on record review, review of facility policy and procedure, staff and resident interviews, the facility
failed to accommodate the preference for morning showers for 1(Resident #4) of 26 residents sampled for
activities of daily living (ADL'S).
The findings included:
The facility policy Activities of Daily Living, (revised 3/18) specified Residents will be provided with care,
treatment and services as appropriate to maintain or improve good nutrition, grooming and personal
hygiene . Interventions to improve or minimize a resident's functional abilities will be in accordance with the
residents' assessed needs, preferences, stated goals and recognized standards of practice.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #4 had an admission date of 7/22/22 with diagnoses
including dementia, anxiety, major depressive disorder, and weakness.
The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in
nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 1/25/23 documented Resident #4 required
extensive assistance with transfers, personal hygiene, and bathing.
The MDS noted Resident #4's cognitive skills for daily decision making was severely impaired.
The plan of care initiated on 7/26/22 identified Resident #4 required assistance with ADL's due to
weakness and instructed staff to assist the resident with grooming.
On 3/27/23 at 12:26 p.m., in an interview Resident #4 said she has impaired vision and relies on the staff to
meet her needs. The resident said I want my showers in the morning and not at night when it is late and I'm
already in bed. I have asked them to change them and so has my daughter, but they said they say the
schedule can't be changed. How hard can it be to give me a shower in the daytime?
Review of the Nail Care and Shower Schedule showed Resident #4 was scheduled for showers on the 3-11
shift on Mondays and Thursdays.
On 3/28/23 at 12:00 p.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff A said the shower list can be updated if a
resident wanted a different shower day or time.
On 3/28/23 at 1:13 p.m., in a phone interview Resident #4's daughter said her mother does not like to take
showers in the evening and will refuse because the staff come at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m., and then

she does not want the shower. She said she had spoken to the Administrator and the nurse on duty several
times regarding the concern.
On 3/29/23 at 9:36 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff R said the shower list was posted on each
unit. Staff R said a resident wanted to change from a day to evening shower or evening to a day shift
shower the process was to notify the nurse. The nurse will speak with the resident and change the schedule
if that is what the resident wants. The CNA was informed of Resident #4's request to receive her showers
on the day shift and said she would notify the nurse.
On 3/29/23 at 1:47 p.m., LPN Staff O said if a resident wanted to change the shower schedule from
evenings to days, the nurse would have to find another resident who wanted to change their shower time to
evening. LPN Staff O said was not aware Resident #4 had requested to change her shower time from
evening shift to day shift, and she would take care of it.
Review of the CNA documentation for February 2023 documented showers were provided as scheduled for
the month on the 3-11 shift.
Review of the March CNA documentation showed Resident #4's scheduled shower time was on the 3-11
shift. Resident #4 declined her shower on 3/6/23 and did not receive a shower on 3/23/23.
On 3/29/23 at 3:08 p.m., the Assisted Director of Nursing (ADON) said she was not aware Resident #4
wanted her showers on the day shift. The ADON said she would change the shower schedule for Resident
#4 today to make sure she receives showers on the morning shift.
On 3/31/23 at 9:24 a.m., Resident #4 said she did not remember if the staff had asked her about her
shower schedule and said , I don't like to shower at night, I can't see well and they come and get me out of
bed and I don't want to go. I know my daughter had asked them to change my time, I don't know why they
can't do it. They tell me they can't change the schedule.
On 3/31/23 at 10:00 a.m., review of the CNA shower scheduled documented Resident #4 was still
scheduled for showers on the 3-11 shift on Monday and Thursday.
On 3/31/23 at 10:10 a.m., CNA Staff F said the shower schedule was done according room and bed
location, not by resident names. Staff F explained the 7-3 shift provides showers for all residents on the
door side of the room and 3-11 provides showers to all residents by the window bed. CNA Staff F said to
get the shower list changed if someone wanted a shower on days instead of nights, would require finding
another resident to change it with, we would need to find a resident willing to change their shower time to
nights. CNA Staff F confirmed resident #4 was still scheduled for showers on the 3-11 shift.

interviews, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to maintain personal hygiene for
1(Resident #96) of 26 residents reviewed for activities of daily living (ADL's).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The facility policy Activities of Daily Living, (revised 3/18) specified Residents will be provided with care,
treatment and services as appropriate to maintain or improve good nutrition, grooming and personal
hygiene.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #96 had an admission date of 3/7/23 with diagnoses muscle
weakness, need for assistance with personal care, chronic pain, falls, and atherosclerotic heart disease.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in
nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 3/7/23 documented Resident #96 was
dependent on staff for bathing.
The MDS noted Resident #96's cognitive skills for daily decision making was intact.

infection but was still able to receive showers. LPN Staff D said the resident would need to wear a mask to
come out of the room to the shower room.
Review of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) documentation showed Resident #96 was scheduled to
receive showers on the 7:00 a.m., to 3:00 p.m., shift on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The documentation
showed Resident #96 did not receive her scheduled shower on 3/11/23. On 3/22/23 and 3/25/23 the
documentation recorded the code NA.
On 3/30/23 at 9:29 a.m., in an interview CNA Staff E said N/A recorded on the CNA documentation means
the shower was not provided as scheduled.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**
Based on record review, review of the policies and procedures, observation, and staff interview, the facility
failed to evaluate and modify interventions to prevent avoidable accidents for 1 resident (#358) of 1 resident
reviewed who was identified as being at risk for falls and sustained multiple falls while at the facility,
including a fall resulting in a transfer to the hospital.
The findings included:
The policy and procedure for managing falls and fall risk stated the staff would identify interventions related
to the residents' specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and minimize
complications from falling.
The staff will implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factors for each
resident at risk of falls or with a history of falls.
The resident-centered approaches to managing fall and fall risk state if a fall recurs despite initial
interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions or indicate why the current approach
remains relevant.
If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various interventions, based on
the assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling is reduced or until the reason for the
continuation of the falling is identified as unavoidable.
Staff will identify and implement relevant interventions (e.g., hip padding, or treatment of osteoporosis, as
applicable) to try to minimize the serious consequences of falling.
Resident #358 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] after a fall resulting in a lumbar (back) fracture. The
14-day minimum data set (MDS) with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 6/21/22 indicated the
resident's brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score was 7. (The BIMS test is used to get a quick
snapshot of how well the resident is functioning cognitively at the moment. The total BIMS score ranges
from 0-15. A score of 13-15 is indicative of intact cognition. A score of 8-12 indicates moderate impaired
cognition. A score of 0-7 indicates severe cognitive impairment.) The MDS indicated resident #358 required
one person's physical assistance for transfers.
The facility determined Resident #358 was at risk for falls related to a history of falls, cognitive impairment,
impulsiveness, impaired balance, and mobility. The care plan was implemented on 6/16/2022.
The interventions on 6/16/2022 included anticipating resident needs, assisting with mobility, encouraging
the use of proper footwear, i.e., non-skid, well-fitted shoes, maintaining a clutter-free environment,
monitoring adverse side effects of medications, placing call bell within reach, placing personal belongings
within reach, provide adequate lighting, initiate a psychiatric consult.
On 6/25/22, a clinical record review revealed resident #358 was found on the floor at the foot of his bed at
2:15 a.m. He told staff he was trying to use the bathroom. Resident #358 was sent to the

Review of the progress notes revealed on 6/29/22, Resident #358 was observed on the floor after an
unwitnessed fall. The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) documented in the initial report the resident stated
he was going to the bathroom. A new skin tear on the left elbow was noted. Nurse assessment documented
resident denied pain. New therapy interventions were added to the care plan. Resident #358 needs
mod-min assistance with a four-wheel walker device, balance training, endurance training, gait training,
positive reinforcement, therapeutic exercise, gait training, and verbal cues for safety sequencing and
pacing.
On 6/30/22 at 3:00 p.m., the nurse documented in a progress note Resident #358 had an unwitnessed fall
and was observed lying on the floor. The resident was coming back from the bathroom and lost his balance.
A head-to-toe assessment was completed. Resident #358 was encouraged to wear proper footwear and to
call for assistance.
On 3/30/23 at 2:24 p.m., during a review of the fall investigation the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)
said the investigation did not state if the resident was using his walker, or had proper footwear at the time of
the fall.
The care plan was updated on 7/1/2022 with new interventions which included a floor mat on one side of
the bed, the bed in the lowest position, and a toileting schedule.
On 7/19/22 at 8:57 a.m., a progress note documented Resident #358 was observed on the floor to the left
side of his bed. He complained of back pain at that time.
On 3/30/23 at 2:24 p.m., during a review of the investigation with the Administrator and the Assistant
Director of Nursing, the ADON said the investigation did not specify if the resident had access to his call
bell, if he was wearing shoes, if the bed was in the lowest position or if the resident had been assisted to
the toilet. No new interventions or revisions were added to the care plan to address the cause of the fall or
minimize the risk of further avoidable falls.
On 8/18/22 at 7:08 p.m., a progress note documented Resident #358 was observed sitting on the floor. The
facility investigation noted Resident #358 spouse had visited and left him sitting in the chair. The resident
said he was going to meet his wife. The investigation report noted a head-to-toe assessment was
completed, the walker was to be placed within reach, and he would be referred to rehab services for
screening. The facility said they educated resident #358's wife not to leave him alone.
On 9/4/22 at 8:00 a.m., Resident #358 had an unwitnessed fall. The CNA alerted the nurse she observed
Resident #358 on the floor on the right side of the bed.
On 3/30/23 at 2:24 p.m., during a review of the investigation, the ADON said the resident's call light was not
on, and the resident was wearing slip-resistant socks. The resident stated, I was all over the bed, then on
the floor. The resident was assisted back to bed, a head-to-toe assessment was completed, no injuries
were found, and a floor mat was in place to the right side of the bed. Neurochecks were to be implemented
for 72 hours, and hourly safety checks were started.

On 9/21/22 at 10:55 a.m., a progress note documented Resident #358 was found on the floor after an
unwitnessed fall. The nurse reported resident was found sitting on his buttocks on the floor near his bed.
Vital signs were assessed, resident denies hitting his head. He stated he was trying to use the bathroom.
No injuries were noted ,and the resident was assisted back to bed. The resident was educated to use the
call light as an immediate intervention, and the physician was notified. No new or changed interventions
were identified or added to the care plan.
On 11/12/22 at 6:33 p.m., Resident #358 was heard yelling from his room after an unwitnessed fall.
Resident #358 was assessed for injuries and pain. No new interventions or care plan revisions were noted
to ensure the residents' safety.
On 12/4/22 at 7:00 p.m., resident #358 had a witnessed fall where she heard the resident calling out for
help and sliding off the bed to the floor. The resident was assessed, and no injuries were noted other than
mild back pain. He was assisted to his wheelchair. No revised or new interventions were added to the care
plan to ensure the resident's safety.
On 12/16/2022, the facility reported resident #358's mattress was changed to a scoop mattress, and hourly
safety checks were initiated.
On 3/29/23 at 2:57 p.m., the Administrator and Corporate [NAME] President stated the fall investigation
was internal and could not be shared. The Corporate [NAME] President stated he would ask the
Administrator to review the fall history.
On 3/29/23 at 4:19 p.m., observation of Resident #358's room with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff M
failed to reveal the fall mat was in place as per the care plan. She said the resident's room had some
flooding, perhaps the fall mats were removed at that time and never replaced.
On 3/30/23 at 10:21 a.m., the Regional [NAME] President reviewed the hourly safety check documentation.
He confirmed the flow sheets provided did not reflect Resident #358 being checked hourly.
On 3/30/23 at 1:05 p.m., observation of Resident #358's bed with LPN Staff O revealed Resident #358 did
not have a scoop mattress in place to prevent him from rolling out of bed as per the interventions listed in
the care plan .
On 3/30/23 at 2:24 p.m., the Administrator stated that most of Resident #358 falls were unwitnessed. After
a resident fall, we ask what happened, question the staff, and ask them where the resident was found.
Usually, the MDS coordinator will update the care plan. Resident #358 should be reevaluated, and
interventions be evaluated after each fall. The ADON and regional vice president both confirmed the care
plan had not been updated after each fall to ensure the resident's safety and prevent avoidable falls.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, review of facility policy and procedures and staff interviews, the facility failed to
maintain an indwelling catheter in a safe and sanitary manner for 1 (Resident #84) of 1 resident sampled
with an indwelling catheter. This has the potential to cause injury and urinary tract infection.
The findings included:
Facility policy Catheter Care Urinary documented The purpose of this policy is to prevent
catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Be sure the catheter tubing and drainage bag are kept off the
floor.
Review of Resident #84's clinical record showed an admission date of 7/11/22 with diagnoses including
obstructive and reflux uropathy (urine is unable to pass through the urinary tract).
The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in
nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 2/22/23 documented Resident #84 was
dependent on staff for toileting needs.
The MDS noted Resident #84's cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired.
The care plan identified Resident #84 was at risk for injury or infection related to the indwelling catheter use
and instructed staff to position the catheter bag and tubing so that it promotes dignity and drainage.
On 3/27/23 at 12:00 p.m., Resident #84 was observed in a wheelchair sitting in the hallway outside of her
room. The resident had an indwelling catheter, and the tubing was on the floor and unsecured. The
drainage bag was touching the floor.
Registered Nurse Staff B confirmed the catheter tubing and drainage bag were in contact with the floor and
said she would take care of it.
On 3/28/23 at 8:38 a.m., Resident #84 was in a wheelchair in her room eating her morning meal. The
catheter drainage bag and tubing were on the floor.
On 3/29/23 at 10:50 a.m., in an interview Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff F said the urinary catheter
drainage bag and tubing were to be hooked to the bed/wheelchair and be in a privacy bag. The CNA said
the tubing and the bag were not to be on the floor.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, record review and facility policy review the facility failed to review the risk and
benefits of bed rails, attempt alternative interventions prior to bedrail installation and failed to have a
schedule for routine maintenance for 2 (Resident #68 and #308) of 7 residents reviewed for side rails.
The findings included:
Review of the facility policy titled Proper use of Side rails issued 09/2022 and last revised 09/2022
guidelines read: A side rail evaluation will be completed to determine the resident's need for using side
rails; Alternative options may be trialed and documented prior to implementation of side rails; Side rails may
be used if assessment and Interdisciplinary team review has determined that they are needed to help
manage a medical symptom or condition, or to help the resident reposition or move in bed and transfer, and
no other reasonable alternatives can be identified; The resident care plan will address the use of side rails
when applicable; Facility will follow manufacturer recommendations and specifications for installing and
maintaining side rails.
1. On 3/27/2023 at 12:35 p.m., Resident #308 said she has been at the facility for two days. Resident #308
was able to answer questions appropriately. Her bed has upper ¼ siderails raised bilaterally. She said
she asked for the siderails to help her move. The resident said she could not remember staff giving her any
instructions related to the siderails or signing a consent for the use of the siderails.
Clinical Record review revealed Resident #308 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was cognitively
intact.
had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 which suggests the resident is cognitively intact.
Documentation of a siderail evaluation was completed on 3/25/23 and signed by the resident on 3/26/2023.
The siderail evaluation read the resident needs siderails as an enabler to promote independence and no
other appropriate alternative exists. The progress notes do not mention side rails or any attempted
interventions. The care plan for Resident #308 does not include any interventions for the use of side rails.
There was no other documentation in the resident's clinical record regarding side rails.
2. On 3/27/23 at 12:45 p.m. Resident #68 was observed in bed with ¼ side rails raised bilaterally to
the upper bed. Resident #68 said he's had the siderails since his admission to the facility approximately five
months. He could not remember signing a consent for the use of the siderails.
On 3/28/2023 at 1:30 p.m., observed the side rails raised on Resident #68's bed.
On 3/29/2023 clinical record review for Resident #68, revealed a side rail evaluation completed on
12/1/2022 and signed by Resident #68 on 12/2/2022. The question regarding resident/representative
understands the risk/benefits of the side rail and consents to the use of it was left blank. The evaluation said
the resident needed the side rails as an enabler to promote independence and no other appropriate
alternative exists.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on record review, policy review and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure medication
irregularities and/or concerns were addressed in a timely manner when the consulting pharmacist identified
irregularities and/or medication concerns, for 1 (Resident #14) of 5 resident's medication regimen reviewed.
The findings included:
On 3/30/23 review of Resident #14's medication regimen revealed he was receiving Gabapentin capsule
100 mg, 2 capsules, by mouth 3 times a day for neuropathy. Gabapentin was used to prevent and control
seizures and relieve nerve pain. Some of the common side effects listed with the administration of
Gabapentin were drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, loss of coordination.
Review of Resident #14's medical record revealed he had 2 unwitnessed falls on 11/15/22 and 11/17/22
and 1 witness fall on 11/6/22.
On 12/12/22 the Consultant Pharmacist identified a potential medication concern stating Resident #14 was
currently receiving Gabapentin which had the potential for dizziness and drowsiness and increased the risk
of falls. Review of Resident #14's clinical record revealed he had recent falls. The Consultant Pharmacist
recommended: Please evaluate possible causal relationship between the falls and the use of the
Gabapentin and consider a trial taper to discontinue the use of the Gabapentin, if appropriate. On 12/12/22
Resident #14's ARNP (Advance Registered Nurse Practitioner) checked the disagree tab and wrote control
pain - will have pain management evaluate.
Further review of Resident #14's medical records revealed no physician order for a pain management
review of the Gabapentin, no pain management review as requested by the ARNP and no evaluation of a
possible correlation between Resident #14's recent falls and the administration of the Gabapentin
medication.
On 3/30/23 at 11:30 a.m., during an interview with Resident #14's ARNP, she said she had read the
consultant pharmacist recommendation for an evaluation to determine if the recent falls could be related to
the use of the Gabapentin and if a possible tapering of the medication would be indicated. She said since
she did not order the medication, she determined the pain management physician should do an evaluation
to determine if the medication was needed and/or could be tapered as requested by the consultant
pharmacist on 12/12/22.
The ARNP said after reviewing Resident #14's medical records she was unable to find a physician order
requesting a pain management evaluation for the use of the Gabapentin. She further said she was unable
to find documentation that a pain management evaluation was completed related to Resident #14's falls
and the administration of the Gabapentin medication as requested by the Consultant Pharmacist on
12/12/22. She said she was not aware until today her request for a pain management evaluation, to
determine if the use of the Gabapentin medication could have been causing the falls and to determine if the
medication could be tapered or be replaced by another medication, had not been completed.
On 3/30/23 at 12:01 p.m. in an interview with the Pain Management Physician (PMP) and the Administrator,
the PMP said he was not informed on 12/12/22 the ARNP had requested a pain management review

of Resident #14's Gabapentin medication to determine if the medication could be tapered or discontinued
due to the possible correlation of the administration of Gabapentin medication and Resident #14's recent
falls identified by the Consultant Pharmacist on 12/12/22.
The Administrator told the PMP he had assessed Resident #14 for pain, but the PMP didn't remember
doing the assessment. The PMP told the Administrator he did not know the pharmacist consultant had
concerns the Gabapentin side effects might be contributing to Resident #14's recent falls and the ARNP
had requested on 12/12/22 for a pain management assessment to determine if they could taper the
Gabapentin.
On 3/30/23 at 1:15 p.m., in an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said she reviewed
Resident #14's medical records and stated the facility had acted upon the pharmacist consultant
recommendation for the tapering of the Gabapentin medication and the ARNP request for a pain
management consult/evaluation related to the Gabapentin medication could be contributing to Resident
#14 falls. She said the PMP had written a progress note with a date of service noted as 12/17/22 upon the
Administrator request but confirmed the PMP progress note did not address the possible connection that
the Gabapentin medication could be causing Resident #14's recent falls which had been identified by the
consultant pharmacist. This progress note was not in the medical record of Resident #14 but was presented
for review after the surveyor's interview with the PMP.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, clinical record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to administer
medications according to physician's orders and manufacturer's specification for 4(Residents #9, #18, #41
and #509) of 5 residents observed for medication administration. Three licensed nurses on the morning
shift with 26 opportunities were observed. Eleven medication errors were observed resulting in a 42.31%
error rate.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
1. On 3/27/23 at 9:59 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff B was observed administering an enteric coated
aspirin 81 milligrams (mg) to Resident #18. RN Staff B removed the medication from the bottle and placed it
in a clear medication pouch and crushed the tablet. RN Staff B placed the crushed tablet in applesauce and
administered the medication to Resident #18.
Crushing enteric coated tablets may result in the drug being released too early, destroyed by stomach acid
or irritating the stomach lining.
2. On 3/27/23 at 10:05 a.m., RN Staff B was observed administering 3 medications to Resident #41
including a tablet of Amantadine HCL 100 mg RN Staff B and Breo Ellipta Aerosol Powder 100-25
Microgram (mcg) inhaler. RN Staff B placed the Amantadine tablet into a clear plastic pouch, crushed the
medication and placed it in applesauce.
Review of the manufacturer guidelines for Amantadine HCL specified to swallow the tablets whole.
(https://www.gocovri.com/pdfs/gocovri-prescribing-information.pdf)
Staff B handed the inhaler to Resident #41 who inhaled 1 puff. The nurse finished the medication
administration and left the room. She did not instruct the resident to rinse her mouth and spit out the water
after the use of the inhaler.
Review of the pharmacy label of the Breo Ellipta inhaler revealed specifications to rinse mouth thoroughly
after each use.
3. On 3/27/23 at 10:10 a.m., RN Staff B was observed administering 8 medications to Resident #9 including
Acetaminophen 325 mg one tablet, Depakote 125 mg 2 capsules, Famotidine 10 mg tablet, Norvasc 5 mg
tablet, Gabapentin 100 mg capsule, Norvasc 5 mg tablet and Potassium Chloride 20 milli equivalent (meq)
tablet. She placed the medications into a plastic pill cup. RN Staff B counted the medications in the
medication cup twice and confirmed there were 8 pills in the cup.
Upon reconciliation with the physician's orders, it was revealed an order to administer Tylenol 325 mg
administer 2 tablets, Norvasc 5 mg administer 1 tablet.
The physician's orders revealed an order to administer Atenolol 25 mg 1 tablet and Glipizide 5 mg 1 tablet
that were not administered during observation of the medication administration.
On 3/28/23 at 9:25 a.m., RN Staff B did not remember the observed medications errors with Resident #18,

Residents Affected - Some
On 3/28/23 at 12:00 p.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant confirmed RN Staff B signed the medication
administration record (MAR) on 3/27/23 at 9:01 a.m., for resident #9 indicating all the medications were
administered, including the Atenolol 25 mg and the Glipizide 5 mg tablets, before administering the
medications.

#509 including, Amlodipine Besylate 1 tablet (medication used to treat hypertension), Magnesium Oxide
400 mg. The RN counted the medications in the medication cup twice and confirmed there were 8 pills in
the cup before handing the medication cup to Resident #509. Resident #509 took the medication cup from
the nurse and swallowed the medications with water. RN staff C returned to the medication cart and ended
the medication observation before moving on to another resident.
Upon reconciliation with the physician's order, it was revealed the Amlodipine Besylate was ordered for 10
mg, give 5 mg one time a day. The physician's order for the magnesium oxide specified to administer 250
mg twice a day.
The physician's order specified to administer Cholecalciferol 1000 units 2 tablets daily and Lipitor 40 mg
that were not administered during the medication observation. Review of the MAR revealed RN Staff C had
documented all ordered medications were administered.
On 3/28/23 at 9:45 a.m., in an interview RN Staff C she said she had administered 5mg of Amlodipine
Besylate to Resident #509. Staff C said the Amlodipine Besylate was in a separate medication card with
only pill left and she threw the medication card away after removing the medication. The RN said she gave
magnesium oxide 250 mg. She said she gave all the ordered medications, and her initial pill count was not
correct.
Review of the medication card for Amlodipine Besylate revealed the medication dose was 10 mg.
Review of the stock bottle of magnesium oxide revealed the medication dose was 400 mg per tablet.
Photographic evidence obtained.
On 3/28/23 at 12:00 p.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant confirmed RN Staff C had signed the MAR
indicating all ordered medications were administered during the medication observation.
On 3/28/23 at 12:20 a.m., in a phone interview the Pharmacist said Resident #509 had a physician order
for Amlodipine 10 mg, give 5 mg daily since 12/26/22. The Pharmacist said the physician order was
confusing and should have been clarified with the physician. The Pharmacist said the pharmacy had only
sent Amlodipine Besylate 10 mg tabs and had never sent 5 mg tablets. The pharmacist said the Amlodipine
Besylate 10 mg tablets were not scored and could not be cut in half. The Pharmacist said it was an error
and confirmed Resident #509 had not received the amlodipine 5 mg tablets from the pharmacy and had
received Amlodipine Besylate 10 mg tablets since 12/26/22.
On 3/29/23 at 4:52 p.m., in a phone interview the Medical Director said the facility had not informed him
