F 0726 can no longer produce on its own) Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Record review of Resident #1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2024 did not reveal an order for daily hydrocortisone. Instead, it showed an order for Hydrocortisone inject 20 mg intramuscularly one time a day for Aspiration Pneumonia with an order date of 8/13/24 and discontinued on 8/14/24. This intramuscular injection was given one time on 8/14/24. No further hydrocortisone was given to Resident #1 following this injection during this stay. Chart review revealed no documentation in nursing progress notes, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) notes, or physician notes about discontinuing daily hydrocortisone for Resident #1. Residents Affected - Some On 9/5/24 at 1:54 p.m., the ARNP said Resident #1 had a history of respiratory distress related to aspiration pneumonia. She said she ordered a one-time dose of intramuscular hydrocortisone related to respiratory distress. ARNP said she was not aware of the hospital order for daily steroids and was not aware Resident #1 did not get steroids beyond 8/14/24. ARNP said it was never brought to her attention about the daily order and said it was not something she discontinued. She said had she known about it, she would definitely have put her on a daily oral steroid dose. ARNP said her order for a one-time dose had nothing to do with the daily hydrocortisone order from the hospital, but with pneumonia. On 9/5/24 at 3:06 p.m., Staff A Registered Nurse (RN) Unit manager said she entered the hospital orders for Resident #1 into the computer. She said the facility does not do intravenous push (IVP) medications. She said she had discussed the hydrocortisone order with the ARNP and received a verbal order for a one-time dose to be given intramuscularly for pneumonia and Staff A discontinued the daily order. She said the only documentation of this would be the entry of the order into PCC. There were no progress notes for either nursing or the ARNP of the discussion of a one-time dose and discontinuance of daily hydrocortisone order. On 9/5/24 at 4:04 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said the process for entering orders when a patient is transferred in from the hospital is: Hospital nurse to facility nurse report is given. Admissions provides nursing with the patients' paperwork prior to admission, which is reviewed, and orders are placed into the electronic chart (PCC). Once the patient arrives at the facility the doctor is contacted for clarification of any medications. Medications are not activated until they speak to the provider. As soon as activated it is sent automatically to the pharmacy. The paper chart never gets sent to pharmacy; the pharmacy only orders what is entered in PCC. Provider will come into building after they've already done verbal orders, on the phone, to review the orders and sign off on them. The orders are printed out on a Medication Review Report and put in a folder to be signed off by the provider. The DON said there were 3 checks on the medications: you will see a check mark on the medication reconciliation from the hospital which indicates the initial review by nurse that entered the meds into PCC, night shift fills out a form that they did a 24 hour chart check, and in the morning meeting all new resident charts are brought to the meeting and gone through one by one. This is documented on the admission checklist. The DON was asked for documentation the 3-step review had been completed for Resident #1's readmission orders on 8/13/24. The DON was unable to provide the 24-hour chart check that was supposed to be completed by night shift, unable to provide the admission checklist verifying the record had been reviewed at morning meeting and when she provided the Medication Review Report that was supposed to be reviewed by the provider, it had never been signed off by the provider. The DON said: Looks like wasn't put in the providers folder. She said there was no documentation that the medication orders had been checked through the 3-step process and/or verified by the provider.

He said Resident #1 came to the facility initially on 7/13/24 and then was sent out again for a feeding tube issue. He said the first round she was with them; she received her daily corticosteroid but, on her return from hospital, it was missed. The Administrator said they will be doing education with all licensed staff about admission orders and medication reconciliation, including the doctors and their extensions. Residents Affected - Some Record review revealed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The discharge orders from the hospital included an order for Gabapentin 100 mg cap, take 200 mg by mouth two times daily (medication used to prevent seizures or nerve pain). Record review of Resident #2's MAR for August 2024 shows the order was entered as Gabapentin 100 mg, give 1 tab by mouth two times a day for nerve pain. The 100 mg dose was given twice on 8/17/24, twice on 8/18/24 and once in the morning on 8/19/24. The order was then discontinued on 8/19/24 and changed to Gabapentin 100 mg give 2 capsules by mouth two times a day for nerve pain. Give TWO caps to = 200 mg. No documentation was found in the chart of discussion with the doctor to change dosage or notification to the doctor that Resident #2 had not been receiving the correct prescribed amount of Gabapentin. On 9/6/24 at 9:12 a.m., the DON said she had not been made aware of any discrepancies with medications for Resident #2. She said the initials and the red check mark on the medication reconciliation would mean the medication had been double checked. She said it would have been entered on admission and then the Unit Manager would have checked it the next morning during morning meeting. The DON said she would need to look into it and see what had happened. On 9/6/24 at 1:37 p.m., the DON said after looking into what happened with Resident #2's Gabapentin order she discovered Staff A RN Unit Manager had put in the order and had entered it wrong. The DON said Staff B RN weekend supervisor was the nurse who did the second check, initialed it and did not identify the mistake. The DON said on Monday morning Staff C RN Unit Manager found the mistake and adjusted it but did not notify her and nothing was documented that the doctor was made aware or notified. The DON said with any medication error/variance the doctor should be notified and this notification documented. The DON said all nurses had previously been trained in entering/checking medications and this was an error on all parts that it was overlooked.
