F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interviews and a review of the policy and procedure for implanted venous access, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and care for a portacath (implanted central line) for one (Resident #74) of a total sample of 45 residents, by not changing the Huber needle in accordance with professional standards of practice. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: An observation and interview was conducted with Resident #74 on 3/1/2021 at 11:32 a.m. in her room. The resident reported a portacath was located in her left upper chest which was observed. She reported it was not being flushed daily, the dressing was not changed as ordered, and no one had changed the Huber needle since she was admitted . She reported having had at least six portacaths and knew a lot about them. A medical record review noted an admission date of 1/20/21, and a readmission date of 2/5/21. The resident's diagnoses included the presence of a cardiac implant. The care plan, updated 2/23/21, included a focus area for a portacath at the left upper chest area with interventions to change the dressing per physician's orders, monitor for patency and change the tubing per order/facility protocol. The medical record was reviewed for documentation verifying the changing of the Huber needle, and no documentation was found to indicate it had been changed since the resident was admitted to the facility. A review of current physician's orders revealed an order dated 2/9/21 for a dressing change every seven days. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON), Registered Nurse (RN), at 2:30 p.m. on 3/4/2021. The DON was asked when the portacath Huber needle was changed, and she reported she did not know. A review of the facility's policy and procedure for Implanted Venous Access Ports, revised May 1, 2016, noted under guidance: Non [NAME] needles are changed every 7 days and correspond with dressing changes. An interview was conducted via telephone with the Medical Director on 3/4/21 at 2:10 p.m. He was asked about the frequency of changing the dressing and changing the Huber needle for the portacath. He reported the Huber needle should be changed every seven days with the dressing. He stated the length of dressing changes depended upon physician's orders, but usually every seven days and as needed if soiled. .

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, staff interviews, clinical record review, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to ensure the accurate and safe provision of narcotic medication to one (Resident #47) of five residents who underwent medication review from a total of 45 residents in the sample. Resident #47 received expired narcotic medication (Norco) on two occasions. The findings include: During an observation of medication administration on [DATE] at 12:00 p.m. with Employee E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), she was asked to pull a random narcotic blister card for an audit of her narcotic count.

The card contained six tablets. The reconciliation sheet for this card contained in the narcotic count book showed six tablets remained. Upon inspection, it was noted that the card containing the pills had an expiration date of [DATE]. The reconciliation sheet showed that two doses had been administered after that expiration date. On February 13, 2021 one dose was given at 3:30 p.m., and another dose was given that same day at 9:00 p.m. These doses were signed out by Employee C, Registered Nurse (RN). During an interview with Employee E on [DATE] at 12:05 p.m., she was asked what her practice was if she came across expired medication in a blister card. She stated, I remove it and for this, it's a narcotic, so I am also removing the sign-out sheet, and I will remove the card from the card count too. Then I will lock this in my narcotic drawer and call the DON (Director of Nursing) to come remove it. She was asked when she checked the expiration dates on the medication blister cards to ensure the medication was not expired. She replied that she checked the dates before she administered medication from each card. She stated this was always her practice. During inspection of the [NAME] Wing medication cart (front hall) on [DATE] at 1:45 p.m., Employee C, RN, was asked what she should do if she identified a blister card with expired medication in her narcotic count. She stated, I would pull it from the count and put it's page with it, and lock it in the narcotic drawer on the side until the DON can come down and remove it from the count. She was asked if she checked the expiration date each time before removing a medication from the blister card and administering it to a resident. She stated yes. A review of the facility's policy/procedure titled Storage and Expiration of Medications, Biologicals, Syringes, and Needles (effective [DATE], revised [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE]), revealed that the facility should ensure medications and biologicals that 1. have an expired date on the label; 2. have been retained longer than recommended by the manufacturer or supplier guidelines; or 3. have been contaminated or deteriorated, are stored separately from other medications until destroyed or returned to the pharmacy or supplier. .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on record review and interviews, the facility failed to administer Keppra (anti-seizure medication) as ordered for one (Resident #74) of five residents whose medications were reviewed, from a total of 45 residents in the sample. Failure to administer anti-seizure medication per the physicians' order can result seizure activity. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: An observation and interview was conducted with Resident #74 on 3/1/21 at 11:32 a.m. in her room. She reported going to the hospital on 2/1/21 with multiple seizures, and she did not believe she was receiving her Keppra as ordered. A medical record review was conducted, which noted an admission date of 1/20/21 and a readmission date of 2/5/2021. The resident's diagnoses included seizures. A physician's order dated 1/21/2021, noted Keppra 1000 mg (milligrams) to be administered twice a day for seizures. The care plan, updated 2/23/21, included a focus area for a diagnosis of seizure disorder. The interventions included: administer medications as ordered by physician, observe for side effects and effectiveness, and document seizures. A review of the nursing notes revealed that on 2/1/21 at 12:50 p.m., a CNA (certified nursing assistant) reported the resident was having seizures. Upon assessment, the resident was noted to have several back to back grand mal seizures. The Physician's Assistant was notifed and an order was received to send the resident to the emergency room for evaluation and a CT scan. (a medical imaging technique) A review of the hospital History and Physical, dated 2/2/2021, noted the resident was at the nursing home, had 13 seizures, and was admitted to the hospital following the seizures. The resident reported her physician's order for taking Keppra 1000 mg twice a day. While in the Emergency Department the patient was loaded with Keppra. A record review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for January 2021, revealed Keppra was not signed out as having been administered to Resident #74 on 1/21, 1/29 or 1/30/21. The resident was hospitalized with seizures on 2/1/2021. The MAR for February 2021 was reviewed and revealed Keppra was not signed out as having been administered on 2/1 (the date of hospitalization, left facility after medication should have been given at 9:00 a.m.), 2/9, 2/14 or 2/26/21. An interview was conducted with Employee C, Registered Nurse (RN), at 1:30 p.m. on 3/4/2021. She stated she reviewed the MAR, pulled the medication, checked off each medication, saved the screen until after the medication was taken, and then it was locked. If a resident refused the medication, there was a space to enter that information, and it populated on the MAR. If there was a blank space where initials should have been documented on the MAR, the medication was not given. An interview was conducted with the facility's Medical Director (MD) at 2:10 p.m. on 3/4/2021. The primary physician for Resident #74 was not available. The MD stated, I tell my patients to not miss one dose of Keppra because they could have a seizure, and I encourage them to take it as ordered. They should not be missing any doses of Keppra. .
