F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the monthly medication regimen review revealed in July 2022, there was a note to clarify the use of two doses of Sertaline in the medical record. This medication was changed to one dose, but documentation of a response for the rationale was not located in the record by the physician. In September 2022, there was a recommendation to increase the donepezil from 5 mg to 10 mg. This was never addressed by the prescribing physician and the resident remained on 5 mg. In November 2022, there was a recommendation to attempt a GDR (gradual dose reduction) of Lamotrigine 150 mg from twice per day to once per day. A note written by the Director Of Nursing (DON) is on the form stating the resident has psych notes for behaviors which contradict a reduction. Further review did not reveal any response by the prescribing physician or psychiatrist. An order by the primary physician was noted, dated 12/21/22 for a psych consult for medication review. There was no evidence of a psych consult being scheduled. In an interview with the DON on 01/25/23 at approximately 10:30 AM, it was revealed they are attempting to do everything electronically and the physicians are not writing on the MRR forms but documenting in the EMR. The DON stated she would locate this documentation. The DON provided some weekly psychotherapy notes for Resident #59, but the notes did not address any medication. In an interview with Social Services Director (SSD) on 01/26/23 at 1:40 PM revealed she did not see a psych consult for a medication review scheduled or any notes from a medication review by psych. The SSD stated she would check with the DON and medical records to see if it waiting to be uploaded to the system. At approximately 2:10 PM, the DON stated he [the resident] was seen weekly by psych and she could provide the psychotherapy notes. The surveyor informed her the psychotherapy notes she provided did not address medications and that the prescribing physician should be responding to the recommendations for the residents.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to have a medication error rate of less than 5%, as evidenced by the medication rate was 7.4% percent. Two (2) medication errors were identified while observing a total of 27 opportunities, affecting Residents #59 and #285. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: 1. On 01/23/23 at 10:52 AM, observation of medication administration was conducted with Staff D, agency Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), who was administering medications to Resident #59. Staff D administered the following medications to Resident #59, that included: Fluticasone 1 spray in each nose, Primidone 50 mg 1 tablet by mouth, Torsemide 20 mg 1 tablet by mouth, Sertraline 100 mg 1 tablet by mouth, Lamotrigine 150 mg 1 tablet by mouth, Finasteride 5 mg 1 tablet by mouth, Gabapentin 300 mg 1 tablet by mouth, and Lidocaine patch 4% applied to the left knee. After the administration, the surveyor returned to the medication cart, reviewed the scheduled medications in the computer, during which time, it was revealed that Staff D, had omitted the following medications: Rivarobaxin 20 mg ordered once daily (Xarelto, a blood thinner), Calcium Vit D 600-200 mg (supplement), and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) Tablet 1000 unit (supplement). When the surveyor inquired about the omitted medications, Staff D revealed the Rivarobaxin 20 mg was on order, and it was not available in the cart. The surveyor advised Staff D to check the emergency medication kit (E-kit) for the Rivarobaxin 20 mg. Staff D revealed she did not have access to the emergency medication kit. At 11:21 AM, Staff D found another nurse (Staff F, LPN) to assist her in getting into the medication room and the E-kit (a Pyxis machine, which is an automated dispensing machine provided to secure medication storage) at the 400-medication (med) room, in search for the medication. At 11:26 AM, after Staff F had made multiple unsuccessful attempts to obtain the Rivarobaxin 20 mg, Staff F found the Director of Education to assist her in the med room in search for the Rivarobaxin 20 mg. Staff D and the surveyor were also present in the medication room at the time. Staff F and the Director of Education found 2 (10mg) of Xarelto (Rivarobaxin) from the pyxis machine. At 11:47 AM, the medications were administered to Resident #59. On 01/24/23 at 8:32 AM, an interview was held with the Regional Nurse Consultant who asked, 'how was medication administration yesterday'. The surveyor explained the scenario above. The Regional Nurse Consultant agreed with findings. She acknowledged the problem. 2. On 01/26/23 at 9:14 AM, observation of medication administration was conducted with Staff C, LPN, who was administering medications to Resident #285.

The findings included: 1. Record review revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident had been seen by a dentist per facility request on 10/03/22 and her dentures were evaluated at that time. The top denture was fitting appropriately with dental adhesive and the bottom denture did not fit well due to bone loss. The tissues were noted as healthy and the dentures were cleaned. Review of the resident's MDS (Minimum Date Set) revealed a quarterly assessment, dated 12/14/22, with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 12 which implies mildly impaired cognition. Further review of the record revealed denture care was being done by the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's). A look back of 30 days revealed the denture care was provided on: January 25, 23, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2023 and December 29 and 28, 2022. The dentures were not observed in the resident's mouth during the survey from 01/23-26/23. An observation of Resident #12 was completed in 01/24/23 at 9:15 AM. It was noted that the resident had no teeth and there were no dentures located on her table or in the bathroom. An interview was attempted with the resident but she shook her head no. On 10/26/23 at 10:22 AM, an interview with Resident #12 revealed she has not worn her dentures in a very long time. She stated the dentist came and told her she would have to use glue. She does not like the glue so she does not wear them and would like dentures that fit better. The resident stated her denture were in the drawer. They were found located in her bedside table in the back corner under other belongings. 2. In an interview with Resident #59 on 01/23/23 at 11:59 AM, the resident stated he was not getting his showers as scheduled. He was to get showered 3 days per week. Record review for Resident #59 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The record revealed he was to get showers every Monday-Wednesday- Friday. There was an order noted that the resident was to have Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% applied to his scalp every Tuesday and Friday during his showers twice per week. Shower documentation was reviewed revealing the resident had a shower on the following dates in the past 30 days: December 28, 30, 2022 and January 6, 18, and 23, 2023.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm An interview with Staff I, Certified Nursing Assiostant (CNA) on 01/26/23 at 10:30 AM revealed the CNAs document the showers and baths on the tablets. This shows up in the tasks in the electronic medical record (EMR). Staff I further stated they can only apply the shampoo to the resident head if he gets in the shower. Resident #59 does refuse care frequently, so if he does not want a shower he gets a bed bath and it is documented under bed bath. If he refuses all types of bathing it is documented under refusal. Residents Affected - Few The documentation for applying the shampoo to the residents scalp is inaccurate due to the shampoo only being applied on shower days. 3. An observation on 01/23/23 at approximately 9:15 AM revealed Resident #98 lying in bed, with her eyes open, and was non-verbal. Multiple bruises were noted on her arms. A record review revealed she had a diagnosis of thrombocytopenia (a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets in the blood) which is a coagulation disorder that causes easy bruising. Further review of the record revealed this resident was to have Geri sleeves (a sleeve designed to protect arms from friction and shearing) applied to both arms daily and removed at night. The Geri sleeves were not noted to be on the resident during the day on 01/23/23. A review of the care plans for this resident revealed a care plan for Geri sleeves on and off as ordered, initiated on 08/28/22. Additional observations of Resident #98 on 1/23/23 at 11:18 AM and 2:45 PM revealed no Geri sleeves. On 01/24/23 at 8:45 AM and 2:30 PM revealed no Geri sleeves. On 01/25/23 at 9:05 AM and approximately 1:30 PM, observation revealed no geri-sleeves were on the resident's arms. An interview with Staff A, LPN on 01/25/23 at 1:30 PM, revealed she was not sure about the Geri sleeves for Resident #98, and further stated she does not document anything she does not do. Staff A stated she knows this resident does not have the Geri sleeves on today. A review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for Resident #98 revealed the Geri sleeves are documented as being placed on every day shift and removed every night shift for the month of January 2023 from 01/01/23 through 01/24/23. On 01/25/23 at 1:45 PM, an interview with the DON revealed CNA's would put the Geri sleeves on and it would be documented in the tasks. The DON looked in tasks and it was not in the CNAs' tasks to be completed. The DON was informed the Geri sleeves were not on for the entire survey, but documented they were being put on and taken off every day. The DON reviewed the record and agreed the Geri sleeves were signed as being put on and taken off as ordered. 4. An observation for Resident #107 on 01/23/23 at 9:40 AM revealed the resident was lying in bed with her eyes open. She would not respond when spoken to and would turn her head away. She was noted to be on her right side and no devices were noted. Record review revealed the resident was to have an orthosis applied to her left hand daily on every shift. There was an additional order for a palm protector to the right hand. This resident had an ADL (Activity of Daily Living) care plan in place with interventions in part of the left-hand orthosis daily as tolerated initiated on 04/25/22 and for the left palm protector daily as tolerated to prevent contractures initiated on 06/28/22.
