Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, record review, and a review of the facility's policy and procedure, the
facility failed to ensure residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of
practice, by failing to administer scheduled medications within the required timeframes per the ordered
times and the facility's policy, allowing for administration one hour before to one hour after the scheduled
time for two (Residents #4 and #1) of eight sampled residents. Failure to administer medications timely
could result in changes to therapeutic drug levels, ineffective pain management, development of antibiotic
resistance, unregulated blood pressures, unregulated blood sugar levels and more.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 6/13/23 at 10:31 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A was observed during morning medication
administration. She was preparing medication for Resident #4. An observation of the resident's electronic
Medication Administration Record (MAR), revealed that the text color was red. When LPN A was asked
what the red type indicated, she replied, The MAR is set up to show red if the medication is an hour past
the administration time. When she was asked if there was a process for obtaining help when medication
administration was running late, she replied that she was not sure.
On 6/13/23 at 10:47 AM, an interview was conducted with LPN B, who was in the process of dispensing
medications for Resident #1. The electronic MAR text was red. When she was asked what the significance
of the red text was, she replied, It means we are outside the one-hour window. With thirty residents and not
knowing them, it's impossible to get all the meds out on time. When she was asked if anyone was available
to help ensure the medications were administered timely, she replied that she did not know. She stated she
did a quick review of the residents' medications to determine which medications/residents were a priority.
She administered those medications and then finished medication administration for the rest of her
assigned residents.
On 6/13/23 at 12:25 PM, an interview was conducted with Registered Nurse (RN) C, former Director of
Nursing (DON) for this facility, now at a sister facility, but brought in to assist with this survey. RN C
confirmed that the medication administration window was one hour before to one hour after the scheduled
administration time. If the medication was not administered within this window of time, the resident's
physician was to be notified to change the dispensing time if not contraindicated. When he was asked if
there was a protocol for nurses to ask for help with medication administration when they were falling
behind, he replied that they should be letting someone know so we can try to find them help. When he was
asked how often medications were not given at the scheduled time, he replied that he was not sure.
On 6/13/23 at 12:50 PM, an interview was conducted with the Regional Nurse Consultant (RNC). When

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
she was ssked if agency staff were oriented about who or how to ask for assistance with medication
administration, she replied, They should be asking for help. I'm more likely to use an agency nurse who
asks for help than one who does not and gets behind. When she was asked if she was aware of how often
medications were administered late, she replied no.
A review of the Medication Administration Audit Report for Residents #1 and #3 from June 3-13, 2023,
revealed that Resident #1 received his medications beyond the one-hour past scheduled administration
time for 106 of 239 opportunities (44% of the time during that period). Resident #3 received his medications
beyond the one-hour past scheduled administration time for 23 of 136 opportunities (17% of the time during
that period).
A review of the facility's current Performance Improvement Projects (PIPs) revealed that the facility had not
identified late medication administration issues.
A review of the facility's policy for Administering Medications (revised April 2020) revealed on page. 1, Item
#4 - Medication administration times are determined by resident need and benefit, not staff convenience.
Factors that are considered include: a. Enhancing optimal therapeutic effect of the medication; b. Preventing
potential medication or food interactions; and c. Honoring resident choices and preferences, consistent with
his or her care plan. Item #6 -Medications are administered within one hour of their prescribed time, unless
otherwise specified (for example, before and after meal orders).
