Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to conduct medication self-administration
assessment to ensure safety for 1 of 1 residents reviewed for self-administration of medications, of a total
sample of 28 residents, (#42).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Resident #42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included encounter for surgical
aftercare following surgery on the digestive system, Parkinson's Disease, anemia, major depressive
disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, presence of left artificial hip joint and dementia.
Review of the Minimum Data Set annual assessment with assessment reference date of 12/11/24 revealed
resident # 42 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15 out of 15 which indicated she was
cognitively intact.
On 2/17/25 at 12:58 PM, resident #42 was observed in her wheelchair watching television with her bedside
tray table directly in front of her. Towards the right side of the tray table a small red pill was observed on a
white tissue that had times written on it. When asked about the times written on the tissue, she explained
that it was written down so that she could be reminded of when to take her eye vitamin. Resident #42
mentioned her daughter bought the vitamins for her because the eye doctor told her it was okay to take
them and that they were very expensive. She stated the nurses knew she had been taking the medication
on her own twice daily.
A review of resident #42's medical record indicated no physician orders for eye vitamins or self
administration of medication, no care plan for self-administration of medication and no assessments
completed for resident #42 regarding self-administration of medications.
On 2/17/25 at 2:07 PM, the assigned nurse Registered Nurse (RN) A observed and verified the red pill on a
piece of tissue on resident #42's tray table in her room. With the resident's permission, RN A then retrieved
the bottle of pills from an uncovered white plastic container on the resident's tray table and confirmed the
pill bottle was labeled PreserVision AREDS 2. Resident #42 explained she had been taking it a long time
and it was very expensive. RN A told the resident she was not allowed to have the medication at the
bedside and assured her that the facility had medications in stock which could be provided.
On 2/18/25 at approximately 10:00 AM, resident #42 stated she was not aware she could not take her own
medication. She explained she did not know of any assessments which should be completed by nurses
prior to her self-administering medication. She said that the nurse took the medication from her,

and they would administer it.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 2/19/25 at 10:06 AM, assigned Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B said she had seen the medication
on the resident's tray table previously and confirmed the resident had marked the times on the tissue to
remind herself when to take it. CNA B stated she thought the residents were allowed to have over the
counter medications at their bedside but now understood why that might not be okay.
Residents Affected - Few
On 2/19/25 at 11:46 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), acknowledged she did not really know
what happened in regards to resident #42's medication at her bedside. She explained if a resident
requested to use their own medications and self-administer, they would first have to be assessed for
self-administration of medications by nursing. The ADON said that a physician order for the PreserVision
was now in the computer and the resident wanted to receive her own medication but preferred the nurses
to administer it.
On 2/19/25 at 12:14 PM, assigned Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C said she was not sure if residents
could have medications at the bedside and explained, if residents wanted to administer their own
medications, the supervisor would handle it. LPN C explained she was not aware resident #42 was taking
her own eye vitamins and had not seen any medication on the resident's tray table.
On 2/19/25 at 12:29 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said he was made aware of the medication on
resident #42's tray table on Monday. He continued that, sometimes residents have a way of bringing stuff in
the facility which in this case, was unfortunately missed. The DON went on to explain that the
Interdisciplinary Team ultimately decided if it was appropriate for residents to take their own medications
based on the assessment for self-administration of medications and the management of a lock box
provided.
Review of the undated facility policy regarding Self-Administration of Medications revealed Residents may
self-administer their own medications only if the Physician, in conjunction with the Interdisciplinary Care
Planning Team, has determined that they have the decision -making capacity to do so safely.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurses followed physician orders regarding
administration of blood pressure medication per parameters set by the physician, for 1 of 5 residents
reviewed for unnecessary medications, of a total sample of 28 residents, (#44).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of the medical record revealed resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including malignant neoplasm of pancreas, benign neoplasm of colon, anxiety disorders, chronic pain,
major depressive disorder and essential (Primary) Hypertension.
The medical record revealed resident #44 had an active physician order for Clonidine HCL tablet 0.1
milligrams (mg) tablet that directed staff to give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for hypertension. The
order included a parameter to hold the medication if the resident's systolic blood pressure (SBP) was less
than 170 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was less than 90 mm HG.
Clonidine is prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) by decreasing the levels of certain
chemicals in your blood. This allows your blood vessels to relax and your heart to beat more slowly and
easily, (retrieved on 2/23/25 from www.drugs.com/clonidine.html).
Review of resident #44's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for January 2025 and February 2025
revealed Clonidine HCL 0.1 mg was scheduled twice a day at 10:00 AM and 9:00 PM. The document
showed the medication was either administered (indicated by a check mark) or not administered (indicated
by the number 4-Vitals outside of parameters; 5-Hold/see progress notes; 9-Other/see progress notes).
Review of the January 2025 MAR revealed Clonidine HCL 0.1 mg was administered once at 10:00 AM on
1/27/25 for a blood pressure of 153/70, under the parameters of the physician order. The MAR also
revealed the medication was checked as administered several times at 9:00 PM when it should have been
held according to the physician order. On 1/06/25 when the resident's blood pressure was 157/65; on
1/07/25 when the resident's blood pressure was 129/57; on 1/11/25 when the resident's blood pressure was
141/67 and on 1/17/25 when the resident's blood pressure was 123/63.
For the month of February 2025, resident #44's MAR indicated on 2/15/25 at 10:00 AM Clonidine HCL 0.1
mg was checked as administered even though the documented blood pressure was 149/67, less than the
parameters set by the physician order. On 2/08/25 at 9:00 PM the medication was also checked as
administered for a documented blood pressure of 112/65 and again on 2/18/25 at 9:00 PM for a blood
pressure of 104/59.
On 2/20/25 at 10:43 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the administration of Clonidine HCL 0.1 mg
for resident #44 and confirmed the check marks on the MAR for January and February of 2025 indicated
the medication was given by the nurse. He acknowledged the medication should have been held instead of
given per the parameters set in the physician order.
A review of the facility's undated Policy on Administering Medications indicated, Medications shall be
administered from a unit dose system in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed.
