Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview, record review and policy review, the facility failed
to ensure the interdisciplinary team assessed and determined if a resident was capable of
self-administration of medications prior to allowing the practice for 1 of 20 sampled residents. (Resident
#66)
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
An observation of Resident #66's room was conducted on 4/8/24 at 2:06 PM, 4/9/24 1:52 PM, and 4/9/24 at
3:26 PM. A bottle of multivitamins was observed to be sitting on the bedside table. An observation of
Resident #66's room was conducted on 4/10/24 at 9:20 AM. During all of these observations, Resident #66
was in her room and the bottle of multivitamins remained at her bedside. She stated she takes one of the
multivitamins every day and the staff are aware.
A review of Resident #66's electronic medical record revealed no physician's order for the multivitamins.
The quarterly minimum data set, with an assessment reference date of 2/11/24, revealed she has a brief
interview of mental status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating she is cognitively intact. The quarterly
self-administration of medications observation dated 2/14/24 revealed the resident is not appropriate to
self-administer medications.
A further observation of Resident #66's room was conducted on 4/10/24 at 9:49 AM in the presence of the
Director of Nursing (DON). The DON observed the multivitamins at the bedside and stated the resident's
sister likely brought them in the facility. The DON stated the resident was not to self-administer medications.
A review of the facility policy for Self-Administration of Medications by Residents (2014 Pruitthealth)
revealed each resident who desires to self-administer medication is permitted to do so if the healthcare
center's Licensed Nurse and physician have determined that the practice would be safe for the resident and
other residents of the healthcare center.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to provide
appropriate quality care and treatment for 1 of 1 residents with a skin tear (Resident #14) and 1 of 1
residents reviewed for edema (Resident #18).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
Resident #14:
Observations of Resident #14 were conducted on 4/8/24 at 2:21 PM and 4/9/24 at 3:13 PM. During these
observations, the resident was in bed and had an undated dressing on her left middle forearm. On 4/8/24 at
2:21 PM, her husband was at her side and stated he was not sure what happened to her arm.
A review of the electronic medical record revealed no current physician's orders for the dressing on the left
arm or documentation of a skin issue to the left arm. A skin observation note dated 4/9/24, completed by
Employee A (licensed practical nurse (LPN)), indicated the resident had no skin impairments.
A telephone interview was conducted with Employee A on 4/10/24 at 9:38 AM. She stated she completed a
skin observation on Resident #14 on 4/9/24. She stated the resident had a skin tear under the pink
dressing on her left arm. She thought the wound care nurse placed the dressing on the resident's arm, but
she did not ask the wound care nurse to confirm this. She stated she forgot to document the dressing on
the skin observation on 4/9/24.
On 4/10/24 at 9:45 AM, Resident #14 was observed in the presence of the Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON observed the pink dressing on the resident's left arm and confirmed it was not dated. The DON
removed the dressing and stated the area under the dressing was a scabbed skin tear. She stated there
should have been an order for the dressing in the electronic medical record. An interview was conducted
with Employee B (licensed practical nurse, wound care) on 4/10/24 at 10:33 AM. She stated she had no
knowledge of the pink dressing or a skin tear on Resident #14's arm.
A review of the facility policy for Documentation of Skin and Wound Care (PruittHealth 2014) revealed it is
the policy of the Healthcare center to complete documentation that reflects the current resident status as
related to skin/wound care. Documentation will provide current and timely documentation on resident's
condition related to skin/wound care, accurate information on the resident's status as it pertains to
skin/wound care, record care rendered and interventions in place and provide a detailed history of the
wound assessments that have occurred in the healthcare center.
Resident #18:
On 04/09/24 at 02:45 PM, Resident #18 was observed to be semi reclined in bed with bilateral (both) lower
extremities (BLE) elevated on pillows and wearing non-skid socks. The skin of the lower extremities was
noted to be red and scaley with swelling present on both lower extremities. Resident #18 was observed on
04/10/2024 on three separate occasions (11:25am, 12:51pm and 1:50pm) while in his room and in the
dining area. For all observations, Resident #18 had no Thrombo-embolic deterrent (TED) hose applied to
his lower extremities.
A review of the electronic medical record revealed the medical diagnosis of lymphedema,

Non-pressure chronic ulcer of right ankle, Localized edema and Muscle wasting and atrophy, multiple sites.
There was an order dated 3/29/2024 at 03:45 pm to Apply TED hose on BLE for 12 hours, start time 09:00
AM, remove at 09:00 PM daily per Verbal Order (VO).
On 04/10/24 at 02:12 PM, an interview with Staff E, a Certified Nursing Assistant, was performed. She
stated that she had nothing in her tasks that indicated that Resident #18 was to have TED hose, but that
the nurse would be responsible for applying and removing any TED hose.
During an interview with Nurse G, a LPN, it was reported that this resident had refused TED application on
several occasions. She stated she had located some TED hose in the facility that were size Large and had
attempted to apply them on her shift but they were very tight and she had had to remove them, that's
probably why he refused them. When asked who would be responsible to measure patient for appropriate
size she responded that's a good question, I don't know. Probably the nurse manager but [Nurse K] must
know because she is the only one that documented that resident needed a size 2XL on the Medication
Administration Record (MAR).
On 04/10/2024 at approximately 3:00 PM, an interview was conducted with Nurse H, a Registered Nurse,
and Nurse F, a LPN, who reviewed residents record and confirmed the orders for Compression stockings.
After reviewing the record, Nurse F stated that, following Resident #18's appointment with the
Dermatologist, they had recommended that the patient be referred to the lymphedema clinic. Nurse H
stated that the clinic had declined to see the resident due to the amount of skin lesions and Resident #18's
physical limitations. Per Nurse F, the lymphedema service recommended that the facility apply TED hose on
BLE for 12 hours on and off for 12 hours then they will see if the resident will tolerate any form of
compression. Nurse H informed Resident #18's attending physician of the recommendation and was given
a verbal order for TED hose to BLE for 12 hours per day per the recommendation. When asked who and
how they determine what size compression hose are needed, they could not provide an answer.
Observation of the facility's stock of knee-high TED hose revealed two boxes of TED hose. One box
revealed measurement instructions on the box and in one box measurement instructions were on each
individual pack. (Photographic evidence obtained.) Nurse F agreed that the order had not been
implemented in a timely manner and confirmed that Resident #18 had not been appropriately measured.
