Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record review, and interviews the facility failed to ensure one resident (#51) of 28 sampled
residents was accurately assessed for the use of adaptive/bed rails as evidence by the presence of bilateral
raised adaptive rails and the inaccurate screening for the rails during quarterly reviews for their use.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Resident #51 was initially admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included
diagnoses of Parkinson's Disease, generalized weakness, unspecified lack of coordination, right knee
contracture, and left knee contracture.
An observation on 12/15/20 at 10:36 a.m., revealed Resident #51 was lying in a low bed with floor mats on
each side of the bed and 1/4 bed/adaptive rails raised bilaterally.
The Adaptive Rail Screen, with an effective date of 2/7/20, indicated the use of adaptive rails were
considered due to a medical symptom and the resident's physical need for the rails was due to weakness,
the cognitive reason was checked as none, and had a history of rolling out of bed. The screen indicated the
resident requested the adaptive rails and the risks and benefits of rail use was discussed with the resident
and the family/resident representative. The Adaptive Rail Screen, with an effective date of 9/25/20,
indicated the family requested the use of adaptive rails for safety/security. The latest screen (9/25/20)
indicated none for the need for the use of adaptive rails for physical, cognitive and sense of security. The
screen on 9/25/20 did not indicate that the resident had a history of rolling out of bed. Neither of the
screens indicated that the resident was taking any medications that would require increased safety
measures (i.e., diuretics, psychotropics, etc.) or that there was a decline in cognitive status affecting safety
awareness. The current screen indicated that adaptive rails were not indicated at this time. The clinical
record for the resident did not include a quarterly screen/evaluation for the continued use of Adaptive/Bed
rails during the seven month period between the screens completed on 2/7/20 and 9/25/20.
The physician Order Summary dated 12/18/20 indicated Resident #51 was prescribed, on 9/25/20, the
diuretic medication, Furosemide. The summary did not identify a physician order for the use of
Adaptive/Bed rails.
The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated that Resident #51 had a Brief Interview of
Mental Status score of 6, indicative of severe cognitive impairment. The MDS in Section G for Functional
Status identified the resident required extensive assist by one-person for bed mobility and transfers and
had active diagnoses of non-Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's Disease. Section P

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident #51's care plan identified the resident was at risk for falls related to: decreased lower
extremity strength, unsteady balance, decreased functional Range Of Movement (ROM) bilateral upper and
lower extremities, impaired cognition, impaired mobility, contracture left ankle, psychoactive medication
(med) use, and parkinsons. This focus was initiated and revised on 12/14/19. The interventions related to
the focus included re-position to the middle of the bed as needed to prevent sliding from the bed, initiated
on 6/12/20. The care plan indicated the resident had an Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Self-care and mobility
deficit with the need for extensive to total assistance with ADL completion on daily basis. At risk of
developing complications associated with decreased ADL self-performance related to: cognitive
impairment, weakness, impaired mobility, poor coordination and endurance, Parkinson's, decreased
functional ROM bilateral upper and lower extremities, psychoactive med use, initiated 2/1/19 and revised
12/2/19. The resident has behavior problems related to placing self on the floor, initiated and revised on
3/30/20. The active care plan for Resident #51 did not identify the use of bilateral 1/4 Bed/Adaptive Rails.
Residents Affected - Few
On 12/18/20 at 1:17 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility evaluates for adaptive/bed rails
on admission and quarterly. She stated the facility does not obtain consent for the rails quarterly and does
speak with the representatives or the resident quarterly. She reported that the assessment for Adaptive/Bed
rails should portray the resident correctly. The DON reviewed the Adaptive Rail Screen, completed on
9/25/20, and confirmed that the screen did not portray Resident #51 correctly.
The policy titled, Adaptive Rail Guideline, effective 11/28/2017 and revised on 10/14/19, identified, It is the
standard of this center to ensure the safe use of adaptive rails as resident mobility aids and to prohibit the
use of adaptive rails as restraints. The protocol of the policy included the following:
- 1. Adaptive rails are used to treat a resident's medical symptoms or to assist with mobility and transfer of
residents;
- 2. The adaptive rail will be monitored, evaluated, and reviewed for initial and ongoing needs by the clinical
team;
- 4. An assessment/evaluation/screen will be made to determine the resident's symptoms or reason for
using adaptive rails;
- 6. Pertinent information related to adaptive rail utilization should be documented in the resident's clinical
record;
- 7. Use of adaptive rails as an assistive device should be present in the resident-centered plan of care.

Findings included:
Resident #79 was admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included diagnoses of dementia in other
diseases classified elsewhere without behavioral disturbance, moderate recurrent major depressive
disorder, and unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition.
The physician Order Summary Report, active as of 12/18/20, identified that Resident #79 has been
administered the psychotropic medications Seroquel daily for psychosis, Sertraline daily for depression,
and Melatonin at bedtime for insomnia. The December 2020 Medication Administration Record (MAR)
instructed licensed personnel to monitor for types of behaviors with corresponding numerical indicators, as

12/14/20, staff identified NA related to observed side effects despite the code, NA was not listed as an
option for the monitoring of side effects.
The monitoring of Resident #79's psychoactive medications during the Evening shift indicated staff
members had used the code NA for interventions, outcome, and side effects on 12/1, 12/5, 12/6, 12/8,
12/12, and 12/13/20 despite NA was not a listed code for those areas. Staff members documented n for
behaviors exhibited, interventions, outcomes, and side effects observed on 12/3, 12/4, 12/9, 12/10, 12/11,
and 12/17/20.
The staff also documented n for the Night shift for type of behaviors observed, non-pharmaceutical
interventions, outcomes, and side effects exhibited by Resident #79 on 12/3, 12/7, 12/10, 12/11, and
12/16/20. The MAR indicated staff had documented NA has the interventions, outcomes, and the side
effects that the resident exhibited on 12/1, 12/2/, 12/4-12/6, 12/8, 12/9, 12/12- 12/15, and 12/17/20.
On 12/17/20 at 2:59 p.m., following an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), she returned with Staff
B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). The LPN reported that he figured that if there were no symptoms he
could document as NA. The DON informed him that documenting NA was not appropriate.
On 12/18/20 at 1:39 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Pharmacy Consultant. When asked if NA
was appropriate, she reviewed the December 2020 MAR of Resident #79 and stated a 0 would be better
and would recommend documentation of 0 instead of NA for a scheduled medication.
A review of Resident #79's active care plan identified the following focuses and interventions:
- due to the use of anti-psychotic drug(s) the resident was at risk for drug-related side effects. The
interventions related to the resident use of anti-psychotic medications included the instruction for nursing
staff to monitor for effectiveness of medication and review for changes. (initiated on 5/4/20 and revised on
11/30/20)
- had a potential for adverse consequences related to the use of a hypnotic. Two of the interventions related
to the use of a hypnotic instructed nursing staff to monitor for side effects of hypnotic i.e.: headache,
confusion, weakness, nausea, irritability, dry mouth, and report to physician (MD) as needed (prn) and to
monitor for effectiveness of medication. (initiated on 9/8/20)
- Resident had a diagnosis of depression and had the potential for adverse consequences of
antidepressant medication. The interventions instructed staff to monitor for effectiveness of medication,
monitor for side effects of medication i.e.: nausea, gastrointestinal problems, dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth,
weight gain, and insomnia. (initiated on 12/9/20)
- Had behavioral problems related to disruptive behavior at times, socially inappropriate behavior and
verbally abusive at times and confabulates stories. No blood product related to religion. The interventions
included instructions for nursing staff to administer and monitor the effectiveness and side effects of
medications as ordered- see physician orders/MAR and to observe behavior episodes and attempt to
determine underlying cause. (initiated on 9/6/18 and revised on 9/8/20)
The December 2020 MAR did not include the side effects that the care plan instructed staff to monitor for;
related to the administration of hypnotic and antidepressant medications.

Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that the medication error
rate was less than 5.00%. Twenty-nine medication administration opportunities were observed and fifteen
errors were identified for one resident (#52) of five residents observed. These errors constituted a 51.72%
medication error rate.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
On 12/15/20 at 11:08 a.m., an observation of medication administration with Staff C, Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN), was conducted with Resident #52. Staff C was observed administering the following
medications:
- Amlodipine 10 milligram (mg) tab orally
- Bupropion Hydrobromide (HBr) Extended Release (XL) 300 mg tab orally
- Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tab orally
- Metformin 500 mg tab orally
- Gabapentin 300 mg capsule orally
- Metoprolol Tartrate 25 mg tab orally
- Myrbetriq Extended Release (ER) 50 mg tab orally
- Furosemide 40 mg tab orally
- Clearlax 30 milliliter (mL) orally
- Levemir 100units(u)/mL - 40 units subcutaneous injection
On 12/15/20, prior to the observation, Staff C was observed administering medications. The electronic
December 2020 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated that resident profiles were colored red,
identifying the medications were past their scheduled administration times, which the staff member
confirmed. At 11:21 a.m., Staff C was asked why the medications were late and she stated, Lots of meds,
lots of patients, and you still have to you know. She counted the red profiles and reported that she still had

- Lotensin 40 mg tab, due at 9:00 a.m., which the staff member informed writer and resident that she had to
remove Losartan from the electronic Pyxis. The staff member documented that she had administered this
medication at 11:23 a.m. with the observed medications.
Residents Affected - Some
- Potassium Chloride ER 10 milliequivalent (meq) orally, due at 9:00 a.m., not observed as given despite
being past due during the observation. Staff C documented at 11:57 a.m. that this medication was given.
- Senna Tab, no indicated dosage, due at 9:00 a.m. however was not observed as given despite being past
the scheduled administration time during the observation. Staff C documented that at 11:57 a.m. this
medication was administered.
- Novolog insulin was due at 11:00 a.m. per a sliding scale dependent on the blood glucose level taken at
that time and was not observed as administered during the observation, despite being within the scheduled
administration time during the observation. The MAR indicated that Staff C had documented at 11:59 a.m.,
the administration of 6 units of Novolog, per the blood glucose level of X. The review of the MAR identified
that staff members were to obtain a blood glucose level at 6:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 4:30 p.m., and 9:00 p.m.,
four times a day before meals and at bedtime. On 12/15/20 at 12:02 p.m., after the administration of
Novolog, Staff C documented a blood glucose level of 198 and according to the sliding scale for Novolog,
the staff member should have administered 2 units of Novolog not the 6 units documented.
A review of Resident #52's progress notes, on 12/15/20 at 1:28 p.m., indicated the last note was written at
10:13 a.m. on 12/8/20 regarding the administration of the resident's Tramadol. The review of the resident's
clinical record showed the last evaluation was completed on 12/8/20. The clinical record did not indicate
Staff C had contacted the physician regarding administering medications outside of its scheduled time on
12/15/20.
The Director of Nursing (DON) stated, on 12/18/20 at 10:32 a.m., that medications were to be given one
hour before and one hour after the due time. The medication administration was described to the DON and
she confirmed that the medication was late. When asked what her expectation was regarding the
administration of late medications, she stated the nurse should be getting the unit manager and/or her and
that they could have assisted the nurse with other duties so the nurse could concentrate on the
administration. The DON confirmed that the nurse had given 6 units of Novolog after documenting an X for
a blood glucose level and had documented an accu-check of 198 that did not agree with the scheduled
administration at 11:30 a.m. of the Novolog Sliding Scale. She stated the amount of Novolog and the
accu-check was not appropriate, as the sliding scale order was given for a reason. At 11:10 a.m. on
12/18/20, the DON indicated Resident #52 was not receiving Losartan, as expressed during the
observation by the nurse. She indicated the resident was on Lotensin and the medication was available on
the medication cart. The audit report received from the DON indicated that the medications that were
administered within 40 minutes of the completion of the observation were also late and confirmed that the
Novolog was administered outside of the sliding scale.
The policy titled, Nursing - Administration of Drugs, effective October 2014 and revised in May 2017,
described that Residents shall receive their medications on a timely basis and in accordance with our
established policies. The Key Procedural Points of the policy indicated the following:

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record review, and interviews the facility failed to ensure one resident (#52) out of five
residents observed during the mandatory task of Medication Administration received medication within the
parameters ordered by the physician.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Resident #52 was admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included diagnoses not limited to other
specified diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy and unspecified Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic
neuropathy.
An observation at 11:08 a.m. on 12/15/20, during the mandatory task of Medication Administration revealed
Resident #52 lying in bed and Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) asking Resident #52 if she wanted
her scheduled laxative.
Staff C was witnessed, at 11:08 a.m., administering by subcutaneous injection, Resident #52's 8:00 a.m.
dose of 40 units of Levemir (Insulin Detemir), three hours past the scheduled time and two hours past the
accepted nursing standard allowing for medication administration one hour before and one after the
scheduled time. The resident's Levemir was scheduled at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., two times a day. The
staff member documented it was administered at 11:15 a.m. on 12/15/20.
A review of the December 2020 physician orders and medication administration record (MAR) indicated
that the LPN was to obtain, at 11:30 a.m., Resident #52's blood glucose level, this was not observed during
the task of medication administration. A review of the MAR documentation indicated that at 12:02 p.m. the
staff member had obtained a blood glucose level of 198. The MAR indicated the resident was to receive
Novolog insulin (Insulin Aspart) per the following sliding scale:
Novolog insulin: Inject as per sliding scale: if 151-200 = 2 units; 201-250 = 4 units; 251-300 = 6 units;
301-350 = 8 units; 351-400 = 10 units. If Blood sugar (BS) greater than 401 notify MD - subcutaneously two
times a day for DM. Scheduled at 11:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
On 12/15/20 at 11:59 a.m., Staff C, LPN documented that 6 units of Novolog were administered, three
times the amount the sliding scale indicated was to be administered for a blood glucose level of 198. The
MAR did not identify the amount of insulin units were to be administered for a blood glucose level of X.
On 12/18/20 at 10:32 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON
stated that all medications should be administered one hour before and one hour after the scheduled time.
She confirmed that the observed medications were late. When asked what her expectation was regarding
the administration of late medications, she stated the nurse should be getting the unit manager and/or her
and that they could have assisted the nurse with other duties so the nurse could concentrate on the
administration. When informed of the medication administration observation and the review of the MAR she
confirmed that Staff C had administered 6 units of Novolog for a blood glucose of X and that the
accu-check of 198 was not appropriate as the sliding scale of Novolog was given for a reason and the 6
units were administered outside of the scale.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure documentation was accurate on the November
and December 2020 Medication Administration Records (MAR) for two residents (Resident #23 and #4) out
of 28 sampled residents.
Findings included:
1. A review of the admission Record for Resident #23 revealed that the resident was initially admitted into
the facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of metabolic encephalopathy.
The active physician orders as of 11/01/2020 revealed the following order:

On 12/17/20 at 2:59 p.m., Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), reported that he figured that if there
were no symptoms, he would just mark NA. Staff B came in with the DON and she informed him that
documenting NA was not appropriate.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #4 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
diagnoses included gastrostomy (a surgical opening made in the stomach for the placement of a feeding
tube). The active December 2020 physician orders revealed that the resident was not receiving any
nutrition, hydration, or medications via the feeding tube. The active orders revealed that she was on a
completely by mouth diet and that all her medications were to be administered by mouth. The active orders
revealed two orders related to tube flushing: 1. Flush feeding tube with 30-50 ml of water before and after
medications; flush with 5 ml (milliliters) of water between each medication every shift, 2. Flush feeding tube
manually with 100ml of water one time a day. A progress note dated 12/02/20 revealed that nutrition via the
feeding tube was discontinued due to transition to by mouth diet only and that the flush order would be for a
manual flush with 100 ml of water daily. On 12/17/20 the medication administration record (MAR) for
December 2020 was reviewed and revealed the order for manual feeding tube flush with 100ml of water
one time a day scheduled for 8:00 a.m., order date 12/02/20, and signed off as administered
12/03/20-12/17/20. The MAR also revealed an order for flushing the feeding tube with 30-50 ml of water
before and after medications and with 5ml of water between each medication every shift. The administration
record for that order was signed off as administered 12/07/20-12/17/20.
An interview was conducted with Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN) on 12/17/20 at 12:28 p.m. She confirmed
that she was the assigned nurse for Resident #4 and confirmed that the resident did not receive any
nutrition, hydration, or medications through the feeding tube. She stated that the orders for tube flushing
were to perform every shift with 100 ml of water. Staff A was asked to review the MAR for December 2020
and confirmed that her initials were recorded for the following administrations on 12/17/20: flush feeding
tube manually with 100 ml of water one time a day; flush feeding tube with 30-60 ml of water before and
after medications, flush with 5ml of water between each medication every shift. She confirmed that her
initials were also present for other dates for these order sets. Staff A confirmed that there should not be an
order for flushing between medications because the resident did not take any medications via the feeding
tube and stated that the flush should not be ordered that way. Regarding why she had signed off as
performing that order on 12/17/20 and other dates in December she said, .didn't take time to read the order.
She confirmed that it was the responsibility of the nurse performing administration to ready orders before
administering and to act when noting an error with any order. She said, I'm sorry I did that .I'm going to
have it changed right now.
An interview was conducted with the DON on 12/18/20 at 1:55 p.m. She confirmed that it was her
expectation that a nurse should always read an order before administering treatment or medication, and
should never document administration of anything without first reading the order. She stated it was her
expectation that if a nurse discovered a problem with an order they should stop and immediately report to
the DON and the ordering physician. She stated there had never been a need in the facility to audit orders
and said, My expectation is a nurse should know they need to read and come to me with problems.
