Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
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 ensure one (Resident #7) of two residents
sampled for the self-administration of medications was assessed and determined to be clinically
appropriate and safe to administer medications.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
An observation was conducted at 10:04 a.m. on 5/4/23 of two medication cups on the over-bed table of
Resident #7. There were no residents in the room during the observation.
Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN observed and confirmed on 5/4/23 at 10:18 a.m., the presence of
the two medication cups on Resident #7's over-bed table. Staff C stated the resident was competent and
able to take meds by self. Staff C identified one of the tablets as Labetalol, a beta-blocker, and the other
was a vitamin. Staff C declined to disclose the name of vitamin. Staff C stated the medications were given
at breakfast. He said the resident was at Dialysis and had been on Dialysis for so long, they knew which
medications could be taken before Dialysis and which ones should not be taken.
A review of the facesheet for Resident #7 revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses not
limited to end stage renal disease, unspecified tremor and atherosclerotic heard disease of native coronary
artery with unspecified angina pectoris. The 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS), identified the resident's Brief
Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 out of 15, which indicated intact cognition.
The review of Resident #7's physician orders did not reveal an order that would allow the resident to
self-administer medications. The physician order list included an order, dated 4/21/23 that instructed staff to
Do not hold medications for dialysis. A review of progress notes and documents did not include an
assessment for Resident #7's ability to self-administer medications. Resident #7's Medication
Administration Record (MAR) was requested but not received.
On 5/4/23 at 3:37 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the doctors sign off on the self-administration
forms and it was not included in the physician orders but uploaded in the documents tab under progress
notes. The DON stated Resident #7 could probably self-administer but did not know about an evaluation.
She reviewed the uploaded progress notes, (physician notes) and confirmed neither note included a
self-administration evaluation. The DON stated staff were to stay with the residents to ensure the residents
took their medications.

self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is clinically appropriate and
safe for the resident to do so. The interpretation and implementation included:
- 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 skill assessment, including (but not limited to) the resident's:
-- b. Comprehension of the purpose an proper dosage and administration time for his or her medications;
- 5. The staff and practitioner will document their findings and the choices of residents who are able to
self-administer medications.
- 8. Self-administered medications must be stored in a safe and secure place, which is not accessible by
other residents. If safe store is not possible in the resident's room, the medication of residents permitted to
self-administer will be stored on a central medication cart or in the medication room. Nursing will transfer

was delivered on 4/30/23. The record indicated 24 tablets should be remaining. The observation with Staff
C revealed 25 tablets remained on the blister card. Staff C pointed to the count above and said, doesn't that
look like a 5?, this is what we talked about earlier. Staff C confirmed the count on the form should match the
amount of tablets that remained on the card.

included generalized anxiety disorder. The residents' May Medication Administration Record (MAR)

which at the time of the observation with Staff C left the remaining tablets, 25 (30-5 = 25). A review of
