Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications stored at the
bedside were assessed for safe administration for one (Resident #336) of twenty-five sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Included:
On 05/08/2023 at 09:41 a.m., Resident #336 was observed lying in his bed and was receptive to an
interview. When he spoke, his speech was soft toned and garbled at times. His son was present and
assisted with the interview. Resident #336 appeared comfortable and denied any discomfort when asked.
On his over the bedside table an inhaler was present. Resident #336 stated, it's for my Parkinson's and
confirmed he took it on his own as needed.
On 05/09/2023 at 2:45 p.m., Resident #336 was lying in his bed with his eyes closed and appeared
comfortable. His son was present at the time and confirmed his inhaler remained in his bedroom. Resident
#336 remained with his eyes closed and stated softly I used it last night.
Medical record review of Resident #336's admission Record form was reviewed and indicated he was
geriatric in age and had resided at the facility for less than a month. His primary diagnosis was listed as
Parkinson's disease.
A review of Resident #336's physician orders included an order for Inbrija Inhaler Capsule 42 MG
(Levodopa) 1 capsule inhale orally as need for Parkinson related to PARKINSON'S DISEASE dated
04/19/2023.
A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for May 2023 revealed Inbrija Inhaler was not
administered in the month of May 2023. Further review of the medical record failed to reflect a physician
order to self-administer Inbrija inhaler at the bedside.
On 05/09/2023 at 3:04 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse. She
confirmed she was caring for Resident #336. When asked about his Inbrija inhaler she stated, I think he
has this one in his room. If he needs it right away, we can't get back there quick enough, so he takes it
himself. Staff C stated, He does not tell me when he takes it. She confirmed she was unaware of the
frequency Resident #336 was self-administering his inhaler.
HOW TO USE INBRIJA:
Use INBRIJA when Parkinson's symptoms start to return.

Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Self-Administration of Medications revision December
2016. Policy Statement: Residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team
has determined that it is clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so. Policy Interpretation and
Implementation: 1. As part of their overall evaluation, the staff and practitioner will assess each resident's
mental and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medications is clinically appropriate
for the resident. 2. In addition to general evaluation of decision-making capacity, the staff and practitioner
will perform a more specific assessment, including (but not limited to) the resident's: a. ability to read and
understand medication labels; b. comprehension of the purpose and proper dosage and administration time
for his or her medications; c. ability to remove medications from a container and to ingest and swallow ( or
otherwise administer) the medication; and d. ability to recognize risks and major adverse consequences of
his or her medications. 8. Self-administered medications must be stored in a safe and secure place, which
is no accessible by other residents. 9. Staff shall identify and give to the Charge Nurse any medications
found at the bedside that are not authorized for self-administration, for return to the family or responsible
party.
