Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **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 Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
