**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to obtain a blood pressure prior to the
administration of an antihypertensive with physician ordered parameters for one resident (#16) of two
residents sampled during medication administration. Findings included: On 11/17/25 at 9:17 a.m. Staff A,
Registered Nurse (RN) was observed standing at a medication cart on the 200-hall. Staff A reported
finishing up (med administration) with one resident but did have others. The process of medication
administration was explained to Staff A. Staff A dispensed the following medications for Resident
#16:-Senna Plus 8.6-50 milligram (mg) over the counter (otc) tablet-Amlodipine 5 mg tablet-Aspirin Enteric
coated otc 81 mg tablet-Vitamin D 25 microgram (mcg) otc tablet-Pancrelipase Creon Delayed Release
(DR) 24000 unit tablet- Dicyclomine 20 mg tablet-Duloxetine 30 mg caplet-Oxycodone 10 mg tabletStaff A
dropped the Oxycodone tablet onto the top of medication cart, picking it up with bare hands, and placed it
into the medication cup. Staff A signed out the controlled substance in the narcotic book and opened the
resident's closed book. Staff A was asked to stop and return to the cart. Staff A stated placing a medication
which had dropped onto the cart into the med cup wasn't something normally done, would waste it. Staff A,
confirmed the other tablets in cup had been contaminated and the medication would have to be dispensed
again. Staff A re-dispensed the medications, entered Resident #16's room, asking if the resident wanted
Lactulose or Combivent (which was refused). Staff A returned to the cart.Review of Resident #16's
admission Record showed the resident was originally admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. The
record included diagnoses not limited to unspecified chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerotic
heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris, other sequelae following unspecified
cerebrovascular disease, and essential (primary) hypertension. Review of Resident #16's November
Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed:-Norvasc 5 mg (Amlodipine) 5 mg - Give 5 mg by mouth
once a day for hypertension (HTN). Hold if systolic blood pressure (SBP) is less than 120 or diastolic blood
pressure (DBP) is less than 60. The order started on 2/4/25. The MAR documentation showed the
medication was to be administered in the morning (MORN) and did not include an area for staff to
document a corresponding blood pressure.-Monitor vital signs every day shift. The MAR showed staff
documented vital signs were monitored daily without noting the blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and
respiration rate. The monitoring was scheduled for 12 Da.-Weekly vital signs every Monday (Mon) (and)
Thursday (Thu) for hypertension (HTN). The order started on 8/28/25. The documentation showed nursing
staff were documenting blood pressures on Mondays and Thursday with the exception of 11/10/25 which
showed not applicable NA for both blood pressure and pulse. The MAR did not require staff to document
temperature or respiration rates as part of the vital signs readings. Review of Resident #16's Medication
Admin Audit Report for 11/17/25, showed Staff A had administered a dose of Amlodipine (Norvasc) at 9:19
am. and documented the administration at 9:23 a.m. The report revealed the staff member documented on
11/17/25 at 7:13 a.m. monitoring of vital signs had been

November MAR, Blood pressure summary, assessments and progress notes showed staff had
administered amlodipine without obtaining and documenting the resident's blood pressure at the time of
administration or held the medication related to the physician ordered parameters:-11/14 to 11/17/25 no
blood pressure was documented and Amlodipine was administered.-11/10 to 11/12/25 no blood pressure

documented not applicable NA for weekly vital signs.-11/9/25 a blood pressure of 111/69 had been
recorded at 7:05 a.m. by the night shift nurse and Amlodipine was administered by the day shift
nurse.-11/8/25 no blood pressure was documented and Amlodipine was administered.-11/7/25 a blood
pressure of 112/66 was documented at 11:13 a.m. and showed Amlodipine had been
administered.-11/4-11/5/25 no blood pressure was documented and Amlodipine had been
administered.-11/1-11/2/25 no blood pressure was documented and Amlodipine had been administeredThe
review showed out of 17 opportunities Amlodipine had been administered 15 times without documentation
of blood pressure at the time of administration, twice Amlodipine had been administered when blood
pressure was outside of parameters and should have been held. Review of Resident #16's follow up
Cardiology physician visit on 11/3/25 at 4:10 p.m. showed the resident had a past medical history of
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. The medical
necessity for cardiology was described as Follow up for cardiac med reconcile, titrating cardiac meds, lab
follow up, following volume status, adjusting diuretics as needed, monitoring hemodynamic/symptoms
during and post physical therapy, and increased risk for cardiac re-admission. The assessment for essential
hypertension (HTN) showed the diagnosis was controlled on Norvasc 5 mg daily, asymptomatic, SBP less
than 130, avoid hypotension, and monitor vital signs. The note instructed to maintain current plan of care,
including regular assessment of

vital signs, labs, and overall status. Review of Resident #16's care plan showed a focus revealing the
resident had altered cardiovascular status related to (r/t) hypertension, CAD, (and) history of tachycardia.
The associated interventions included instructions for staff to administer medications as ordered and
monitor vital signs (and) notify the MD of significant abnormalities. An additional focus revealed the resident
had hypertension and took BP medications. The interventions instructed staff to Give anti-hypertensive
medications as ordered. Monitor of side effects such as orthostatic hypotension and increased heart rate
(tachycardia), and effectiveness. An interview was conducted with Resident #16 on 11/18/25 at 9:40 a.m.
The resident stated staff do not take blood pressure on a regular basis, not daily maybe once or twice a
week. The resident stated they took blood pressure yesterday (day of medication administration) after

pressure, if administering nitro take blood pressure, and obtain blood glucose before giving insulin. The
ADON stated staff should de documenting blood pressure if there is a parameter, if there is a parameter the
medication should have a pop-up box to put in the blood pressure, and believed the blood pressure
documented in the pop-up box showed up on the MAR. Review of Resident #16's MAR was conducted and
the ADON confirmed blood pressures were not documented with the administration of Norvasc. The ADON
reviewed the order to monitor vital signs daily and stated if they aren't documented they weren't done. The
ADON reviewed blood pressure summary and confirmed blood pressures were not done prior the
administration of the resident's Amlodipine and stated the nurse had backfilled the blood pressure on 11/17
(after photo had been obtained). The ADON stated blood pressures should be taken immediately prior to
the administration of the medication. Review of the policy - Administering Medications, revised April 2019,
revealed Medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The policy included
but was not limited to the following:-2. The director of nursing services supervises and directs all personnel
