Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and records review, the facility failed to ensure call lights were within reach for 3 of 25 sample residents (Resident #1, Resident #17 and Resident #22).The findings included:1. On 09/08/2025 at 10:48 AM, it was observed that a call light in the resident's room was attached to the back of Resident #22's bed's headboard. The observation prompted an interview with Resident #22 who reported through gestural confirmation, because of his tracheostomy, that he wanted to use the call light, but he could not reach it. Resident #22 affirmatively nodded, it was not the first time this situation occurred, when asked if that was the first time it had happened. To ensure that Resident #22 could use his hands, the Assistant Nurse Manager was immediately called to the room and was asked to hand the call light to Resident #22 and to have him press on it to activate it. Resident #22 successfully activated the call light.Resident #22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was diagnosed with: Anoxic Brain Damage, Not Elsewhere Classified; Quadriplegia; Tracheostomy Status.Section GG of the MDS dated [DATE] documented Resident #22 had no impairment in range of motion for both upper and lower extremities. Section C was not assessed. Review of the Care Plan documented Resident #22 was at risk for falls. As preventive measures the CP outlined that staff would minimize risk of minor injury through the next review date. Also, the facility will make sure the resident's call light is within reach and will encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. At about 3:45 PM, on 9/10/2025, Staff N (registered nurse) was asked to come to the room to verify the position of the call light. Staff N acknowledged that the call light should not have been hanging by the bedside. She said the call light was not where it was supposed to be. Staff N also added that Resident #22 was totally dependent. Staff N said that Resident #22 could only use his call light, when it is reachable. Resident #22 could not roll from side to side. Therefore Resident #22's needs had to be anticipated. Staff N also said, they checked on Resident #22 every two hours. Staff N alleged that she saw Resident #22 about 20 minutes prior to the interview with her. Staff concluded when the call light is not within reach Resident #22 asked for it.2.

Measure resident's oxygen saturation with pulse oximeter.b. Listen to lung sounds with stethoscope.c. Observe for asymmetrical chest expansion.A record review revealed Resident #22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Anoxic Brain Damage, Candidiasis, Quadriplegia and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia and Hypercapnia.An electronic review of recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] under Section C, revealed that the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was disabled.A tracheostomy care observation was conducted on [DATE] at 10:10 AM with Staff I, Registered Nurse (RN) and Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).Both Staff donned on personal protective equipment (PPE) gown and gloves and performed hand hygiene either with hand sanitizer and with soap and water. Staff I, RN stated that the tracheostomy supplies she will be using are not expired. She added she would be using these supplies and dressings, sterile saline plastic containers, sterile T- drain sponges, inner tracheostomy cannula, and tracheostomy care kit. Both Staff had to be reminded to oxygenate the resident before the tracheostomy care. Staff did not apply the oximeter until they were reminded. Staff I, RN stated the oxygen saturation was at 95 %, 5 minutes before the tracheostomy care. Staff did not assess Resident #22's respiratory status by listening to lung sounds and did not observe for chest expansion. Staff did not set up supplies on the sterile field, Both Staff used clean technique in opening supplies like gauze, normal saline and tracheostomy care kit.Staff I, RN picked up the sterile gloves from the tracheostomy kit and donned them. She put a protective chuck over Resident #22's chest and put a T-drain gauze onto resident's neck. She changed the tracheostomy collar and washed her hands. Staff I, RN put on regular gloves and stated she would change the inner cannula. With regular clean gloves, she picked up a square box from the tracheostomy care kit and asked Staff J, LPN to pour normal saline solution into the box.She then placed the box with normal saline solution on top of the table (not a sterile field). Staff J, LPN opened the inner cannula box and put it on the table. The flap of the box went back to its closing position, indicating the sterility of the inner cannula was not maintained. Staff J, LPN did not keep the flap open for Staff I to pick it up using aseptic technique. Staff I, RN picked up the inner cannula using clean gloves (not sterile gloves). She then inserted the inner cannula into the tracheostomy site.Staff I, RN opened the suction tubing kit using clean gloves and picked up the sterile suction tubing. She dipped the tip of the suction tubing into the box with normal saline. She was asked if she will need to use sterile gloves.Staff I, RN opened another package of suction tubing on top of resident's abdomen. The suction kit came with only one sterile glove, so she asked Staff J, LPN to give her another kit. Staff I, RN opened another suction kit on top of resident's abdomen. She had a hard time donning the sterile gloves stating they are too small. The resident had a big cough, and productive light-yellow colored secretions came out and down the gauze pad.Staff I, RN inserted the suction tip inside the inner cannula tube using her right hand (she used the normal saline solution which was opened onto unsterile field). She stated she would keep the right hand sterile, and the left hand clean. There were more secretions that came out and Staff I, RN used the suction tip to suck the outside sections but inserted the suction tip inside the tracheotomy tube again. She was reminded not to do that. Staff J, LPN was reminded to oxygenate the resident. Staff I was reminded to check the oxygen saturation.

The findings included: A review of the facility's policy titled, Oral Administration of Medication, with a revision date of 08/15/19, documented to review Physician's order (1).According to National Institute of Health, Nurses have a unique role and responsibility in medication administration, in that they are frequently the final person to check to see that the medication is correctly prescribed and dispensed before administration. In upholding patient safety, the ‘five R's' of medication administration are followed.A guiding principle for one of the five rights is of the right time. The right time is ensuring that medications should be prescribed as closely to the time as possible, and nurses should not deviate from this time by more than half an hour to avoid consequences such as altering bioavailability or other chemical mechanisms. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560654/Based on multiple clinical studies, including those funded by the National Institutes of Health, levetiracetam (Keppra) and lacosamide (Vimpat) have shown comparable efficacy for treating focal-onset seizures. Key differences lie in their side effect profiles, mechanisms of action, and controlled substance status. Levetiracetam is not a controlled substance while Lacosamide is a schedule V controlled substance indicating a potential for misuse and dependence. It can also cause abnormal heart rhythms. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40119876/1) A record review documented Resident #26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Seizure, and Cerebral Infarction due to unspecified Occlusion or Stenosis of the Right Anterior Cerebral Artery.An electronic review of the recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], under Section C of the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), revealed a score of 13, indicating Resident #26 had no cognitive impairment.An additional review revealed that on 09/10/25 at 11:07 AM, a physician order for Lacosamide oral tablet 50 mg by mouth, two times a day for seizures. An additional review of physician order dated 01/24/25 revealed Lacosamide oral tablet 50 mg by mouth, two times a day for seizures.During a medication administration observation with Staff G, RN on 09/09/25 at 9:44 AM, she stated that she would administer Lacosamide 50 mg for seizure. She added it is scheduled twice daily.A further record review of a paper documentation called Medication Monitoring Control Record (MMCR) for Lacosamide administration during the month of September, it revealed that it was administered with only a 4-hour interval on the following dates: On 09/03/25, 1 (one) pill was administered at 12:35 PM with the second pill administered at 4:32 PM, both by Staff K, LPN, indicating only a 4-hour interval between administrations.On 09/06/25, 1 pill was administered at11:03 AM, and the second pill at 4:00 PM, indicating only a 5-hour interval between administrations, with both pills administered by Staff I, RN.In a telephone interview conducted with Staff K, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 09/10/25 at 10:55 AM, she stated that she knew this resident, and is familiar with the anti-seizure medication Lacosamide. When she was asked what time she usually gives a medication that is scheduled twice daily, she responded, I work from 7 AM to 7 PM, so I would give 1 (one) in the morning, and the next dose would be given by the next shift nurses at night. She added that a medication scheduled to be given twice daily must have an 8-to-12-hour time interval. When she was asked about her process of documenting in the Medication Monitoring Control Record (MMCR), she responded that once she took a pill from the locked medication box, she would sign it out from the MMCR and would immediately administer it to the resident.
