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 prevent medication administration error rate of 5% or greater for 2 of 4 residents sampled for medication administration, (#37,#16). There were 2 medication errors in 27 opportunities for a medication error rate of 7.41%. Residents Affected - Few Findings: 1. Review of resident #37's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included osteoarthritis and fracture of the right femur. On 7/26/23 at 9:20 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A prepared to administer resident #37's nine scheduled morning medications and placed a total of 9 pills into a small plastic cup. LPN A then approached resident #37 with the cup of 9 pills and the resident declined to take the Acetaminophen 325 milligrams (mg) tablet stating that she was not in pain. LPN A then went out to the medication cart and with a spoon took out the single Acetaminophen 325 mg tablet and then returned to resident #37's room and administered the remaining medications by mouth to the resident. A review of resident #37's medical record post medication administration revealed an order for Acetaminophen oral tablet 325 mg give 2 tablets by mouth four times a day for hip and back pain. On 7/26/23 at 11:42 AM, a follow up interview was conducted with LPN A. The LPN read in the MAR (medication administration record) for resident #37 an order for routine Acetaminophen 325 mg 2 tablets. The nurse acknowledged medication error as she only brought one tablet to administer with the resident's routine morning medications. LPN A explained, she usually read the orders twice to avoid making errors but didn't today. 2. Resident #16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). On 7/26/23 at 9:35 AM, medication administration was observed for resident #16 and LPN B.

The inhaler box label read, Breo Ellipta 100/25 mcg [micrograms]. The LPN proceeded to administer the medications to resident #16. A record review post medication administration for resident #16 revealed an order dated 1/5/23 that read, Breo Ellipta Aerosol Powder Breath Activated 200-25 mcg/inh (Fluticasone Furoate-Vilanterol) 1 puff inhale orally one time a day at 9 AM for COPD.
