Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow policy and procedure and failed to use and follow a valid PRN (as-needed) order for four residents (R9, R39, R122, and R147) receiving psychotropic medications, as required by federal regulations and facility policy. These failures affected 4 residents (R9, R39, R122, and R147) in a sample of 57 residents reviewed for psychotropic medications.Findings include: R9 's medical record showed that R9 was admitted to the facility [DATE] with diagnosis list that includes but not limited to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma, delusional disorder, restlessness and agitation, major depressive disorder, and retention of urine. On hospice care. R9's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated [DATE] scored BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) at 03 indicating at R9 is cognitively impaired. Section E coded 0 for behavior R9's medical record MAR (Medication Administration Record) E-POS (Electronic Physician Order Sheet) showed order dated [DATE] for Ativan (Lorazepam) powder apply to skin – wrist topically every 4hours as needed for agitation, anxiety gel. Give 0.5ml (Milliliter) (0.25mg). This order does not have stop date as required by federal regulation. On [DATE] R9 has another order for Ativan (Lorazepam) oral concentration 2mg/ml. give 0.5ml by mouth every 4hours as needed for anxiety 0.5ml every 4hours PRN. This order does not have stop date as required by federal regulation. On [DATE] R9 to Ativan solution 2mg/ml inject 0.5mg intramuscularly every 8hours as needed for anxious. This order does not have stop date as required by federal regulation. R9s medical record MAR showed documentation that Ativan is being administered without order clarification regarding stop date. On [DATE] between 12:40pm and 12:47pm, V26 RN (Registered Nurse/Hospice case manager) stated in part that (R9) has two orders of PRN (as needed) Ativan used for Restlessness and Agitation orders are to administered sublingual and the other one is rubbed on the skin if she can't take it sublingually. When surveyor asked about stop date for antipsychotic medications used as PRN, V26 stated, we don't use a stop date; we are unable to gauge the dying date/transition date. The medication is use for symptoms management. Regarding 14 days stop date and re-assessment we don't use stop date, that must be something with (for) the facility. When asked about the policy on the care provider decision not

adhering to federal regulation on this matter, V25 stated that we don't have any policy regarding that. But I will check and send the policy to the administrator (V1) but let me check with my supervisor. On [DATE] at 2:03pm, V26 (RN/Registered Nurse Hospice Case Manager said, A 14-day period is the candidate timeframe for a GDR (gradual dose reduction), and the resident's symptoms are documented every week. We (hospice staff) hold a weekly IDG (Interdisciplinary Group) meeting during which we discuss the patient and the patient's needs. We do not send documentation to the facility. The IDG includes our (hospice company) doctors and social workers, but it does not include any staff from the facility (resident's facility). The facility communicates with us (hospice)directly. I (V26) come in personally and speak with the facility nurses and with the resident's family. The symptoms are ongoing because we are managing them every week, so we (hospice staff) don't renew PRN (as needed) psychotropic medications every 14 days. A nonpharmacological approach to her (resident) demands was put in place first. For myself, this includes being present with her, sitting and talking with her, talking about her son who passed away, talking about baseball, and anything that helps calm her down. Activities such as folding Kleenex and towels are also used. The facility staff should be doing these interventions as well, although I cannot speak to their nonpharmacological approaches. Because we (hospice staff) complete the IDG without facility staff present, we obtain the plan of care, provide the updated plan of care, and place it in the binder. It (having facility staff present) would not hurt to involve the facility more directly and attend the IDGs. When we (hospice) come to the table and speak with the medical director, the facility is seeing and reporting what they observe and report back to us (hospice staff). It does not sound like a bad idea. The policy titled Hospice Care for Nursing Facility Residents-Psychotropic Medications presented documents that care hospice follows skilled nursing facility regulations related to psychotropic medications for hospice patients that reside in a nursing facility. Psychotropic Medication includes but not limited to anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, and hypnotics. Procedure listed includes but not limited to there is a 14-day limit on all PRN (As needed) orders for psychotropic medications. R39's face sheet documents diagnoses' that include, but are not limited to anxiety disorder, dementia, and Alzheimer's Disease. R39's physician order, ordered date: [DATE]; end date: indefinite, documents, in part, Ativan Oral Tablet 1 MG (Lorazepam), Controlled Drug, Give 1 mg by mouth every 6 hours as needed for agitation; Medication Class: Antianxiety Agents; For (Indication for Use): Agitation. This order does not have a stop date as required by federal regulation. R122's face sheet documents diagnoses' that include but are not limited to anxiety disorder. R122's physician order, ordered date; end date: indefinite, documents, in part, hydroxyzine Pamoate Capsule 25 MG: Give 1 capsule by mouth every 6 hours as needed for Anxiety related to anxiety disorder, unspecified (F41.9) 25mg cap every 6hrs as needed.; Medication Class: Antianxiety Agents; Related diagnoses: Anxiety disorder. This order does not have a stop date as required by federal regulation. R147's face sheet documents diagnoses' that include but are not limited to repeated falls and weakness.

R147's physician order, ordered date [DATE]; end date: indefinite, documents, in part, hydroxyzine HCl Oral Tablet 25 MG (Hydroxyzine HCl); Give 25 mg by mouth every 8 hours as needed for Anxiety; Medication Class: Antianxiety Agents; Chemicals; Indication for Use: Anxiety. This order does not have a stop date as required by federal regulation. On [DATE] at 11:00am, V28 (RN/Registered Nurse/Care Plan Coordinator/Psychotropic Nurse) said, A 14-day period is the facility policy for the use of PRN (as needed) psychotropics. Examples of psychotropic medications include Seroquel, Trazodone, Clonidine, Lexapro, Hydroxyzine, and Xanax. The rationale is that they need to be re-evaluated to see if the medication is affecting the resident, and whether it (psychotropic medication) is still necessary. I (V28) don't know why they (staff) would be documenting a zero on the behavioral sheets and still giving the medication (psychotropic medication). Zero means the resident has no behaviors. Regarding hospice, when giving Ativan PRN, the policy does not exclude hospice residents. Generally, Ativan is used for end-of-life care. When you need it, you need it, such as when they (residents) are having respiratory distress or agonal breathing. We (facility staff) are supposed to follow our policy. In my (V28) professional opinion, it depends on the hospice patient and the orders. Some residents are on Ativan and never use it; sometimes they (residents) use it within 14 days. Based on facility policy, it (PRN psychotropic medication for residents on hospice) should still follow the same procedure. The correct indication for use should be listed in the diagnosis of the resident. Regarding how we (facility staff) monitor per CMS regulations: for new patients, I (V28) make the NP (nurse practitioner) psych aware and ensure diagnoses are present, identify what the target behaviors are, and ensure tracking based on ancillary orders and nurses entering the information into the EMAR (electronic medical admiration record). We (facility staff) do GDRs (gradual dose reductions). Pharmacy sends over the list of who is due for a GDR. The Psych NP oversees it. Sometimes we attempt a GDR and are not successful, and sometimes we do not attempt it at all. It's (R147's hydroxyzine order) discontinued now. R147's order (hydroxyzine order) was put in wrong. Her (R147) brother died and should have been a one-time dose. The black box warning for psychotropic medications lets us know that this medication can be a danger for certain residents. When asked which certain residents, V28 replied, Most of the population here (residents residing at the facility). On [DATE] at 1:47pm, V3 (Director of Nursing/DON) said, Psychotropic PRN (as needed) medications are ordered for 2 weeks or 14 days to be reevaluated. The purpose is to see if the resident still needs the medication, check resident behaviors if worse or better. Record review of facility's Informed Consent For Psychotropic Medication, undated, documents, in part, Antianxiety drugs: Purpose: To reduce anxiety that impedes normal functioning, drug may be used as an antiseizure medication or as a muscle relaxant. Possible side effects: Drowsiness, confusion, apathy, fatigue, dizziness, unsteady gait, nausea, vomiting, headache, rash and blurred vision. Record review of facility policy titled, Abuse Prevention Program, dated 10/2022, documents, in part, This (Name of Facility) facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and mistreatment of residents. In order to do so, the facility has attempted to establish a resident sensitive and resident secure environment The purpose of this policy is to assure that the facility is doing all that is within its control to prevent occurrences of abuse, neglect exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff and mistreatment of residents. This will be done by: establishing an environment that promotes resident sensitivity, resident security and prevention of mistreatment; identifying occurrences and patterns of potential mistreatment;

assuring that physical restraints are used sparingly and properly, and that chemical restraints are not used.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Record review of facility policy titled, Psychotropic Medication, dated 11/2013, documents, in part, Prior to starting a psychoactive drug consider the resident rights: the right to be informed about the resident's condition, treatment options, relative risk and benefits of treatment, required monitoring, expected outcomes, the right to refuse and the right to be free of chemical restraints. All informed consents have a black box warning identifying an increased risk for death in the elderly when using antipsychotic medication. The resident has the right to be free from any physical or chemical restraints imposed for the purposes of discipline or convenience and not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms. When used as a restraint the facility must use the least restrictive alternative for the least restrictive amount of time and document the ongoing reevaluation of the need for the restraint. The prescribing and administration of psychotropic drugs is based on a comprehensive assessment of the resident. Residents who use psychotropic drugs receive gradual dose reductions, unless clinically contraindicated, and behavioral interventions. Residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which they are indicated and effective. Residents must be free of unnecessary drugs. (Unnecessary drugs are any drug when used in excessive dose, excessive duration, without adequate monitoring or without adequate indications for its use or in the presence of adverse consequences which indicate the dose should be reduced or discontinued.) Psychotropic drug is any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processed and behavior. These drugs include, but are not limited to, drugs in the following categories: Anti­psychotics, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety and hypnotics. Residents do not receive psychotropic drugs pursuant to PRN orders unless that medication is necessary to treat a diagnosed specific condition. PRN orders for psychotropic drugs are limited to 14 days and cannot be renewed unless the attending physician or prescribing practitioner evaluates the resident for appropriateness of the medication and documents their rationale for continued use in the resident's medical record for the duration of the PRN order. If antipsychotic medications are administered as PRN dosages repeatedly over several days, the Physician should discuss the situation with staff and evaluate the resident as needed to determine whether the use is appropriate, and the symptoms are responding to the medication. Documentation Requirements: 1. An informed consent form signed by the resident or legal representative for the appropriate medication(s) and dose. A new consent will be completed if a dose increases, or a new drug is started. 2.Evaluation and Education of resident and resident representative and documentation of such. 3. An initial and annual Psychoactive Medication Screening, which will include: a. Behaviors exhibited b. Psychiatric diagnosis and/or dementia diagnosis and stage as documented. c. Rule out any transitory conditions that could cause a change in behavior d. Possible causative factors. e. Non-pharmaceutical interventions f. Possible risks/complications. g. Results of Gradual Dose Reduction. h. Justification to proceed or not to proceed. 4. A Psychoactive medication quarterly screening is to be completed at least quarterly. The following information is reviewed and evaluated; a. The residents targeted symptoms and the effect of the medication on the severity, frequency and other characteristics of the symptoms. b. Any changes in the residents' function during the past quarter as identified in the MDS, CAM or physician notes. c. If the resident experienced any psychotropic related adverse consequences during the previous quarter. d. If a reduction was attempted and the outcome. e. If reduction attempt is contraindicated f. The rational for continuing the medication. 5. Episodic behavior intervention charting is completed for each resident receiving psychoactive medication. Orders for the medications must include: e. Reason or problem for which given. 10. Physician's orders not specifying the number of doses, or duration of medication, shall be

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure preadmission screening assessments were completed as required for residents identified that have a mental illness. This failure affected four residents (R4, R5, R59, and R124) reviewed for pre-admission screening in the sample list of 57 residents. Findings include:
Residents Affected - Some
R4 is [AGE] years old and have resided at the facility since 2021, past medical history include, but not limited to pot traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder current episode mixed, unspecified, major depressive disorder recurrent, unspecified, type 2 diabetes, etc. R4 has an MDS indicator for no PASARR 11 with diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. On 12/03/2025 at 9:30AM, requested resident's PASRR screening from the facility and they provided a copy of Federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) pre-admission screening dated 01/03/2021. Surveyor requested for resident's PASARR screening from Maximus and V2 (Assistant Administrator) said that they do not have any screening from Maximus for the resident. R5's face sheet documents an admission date of 1/03/2025 with diagnoses that include but are not limited to hypomanic bipolar disorder (onset date 1/03/2025), depressed bipolar disorder (onset date 1/03/2025), major depressive disorder (onset date 1/03/2025), anxiety disorder (onset date 1/03/2025), mood (affective) disorder (onset date 1/03/2025), and unspecified mental disorder due to known physiological condition (onset date 1/03/2025). R5's Notice of PASRR (Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review) Level I Screen Outcome, dated 11/29/2024, documents, in part, PASRR Level I Determination: No Level II Required – No SMI (Serious Mental Illness). Evidence shows that R5's PASARR Level I Screen is inaccurate due to R5 having multiple mental Illness diagnoses including, but not limited to bipolar, depression, and anxiety disorder. Review of R5's health records do not show that a Level II Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) was completed for R5 even though R5 has multiple mental health diagnoses that include hypomanic bipolar disorder, depressed bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder. R59's face sheet documents an admission date of 4/27/2021 with diagnoses that include but are not limited to anxiety disorder (onset date 5/20/2023), mood disorder (onset date 3/29/2023), depressive disorder (onset date 08/01/2021), and psychosis (onset date 4/27/2021). R59's OBRA-1 INITIAL SCREEN, dated 4/23/2021, documents, in part, Reasonable Basis To Suspect A Mental Illness: 1) The individual has been diagnosed with a mental illness verified by a DSM IV classification: No.; There are other indicators of mental health: No. Review of R59's health records do not show that a Level I or Level II Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) was completed for R59 even though R59 has mental health diagnoses that include anxiety disorder and depressive disorder.

R124 is [AGE] years of age. Current diagnoses include but are not limited to Dementia with other behavioral disturbance, Other Specified Depressive Episodes, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Other Psychotic Disorder Not Due To A Substance or Known Physiological Condition. R124 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R124's comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] section C cognitive patterns documents a brief interview for mental status with a score of 14 out of 15. R124 is cognitively intact. On 12/03/2025 at 9:30 AM, V2 Assistant Administrator was inquired of PASARR (pre-admission screening and resident review) for residents in the facility for a mental disorder or related condition prior to being admitted . V2 said, We have a liaison at the hospital that does the screening. All the residents have to be screened. Can you explain what you mean by through Maximus? I'd have to check with Social Service. V2 provided R124's OBRA (Federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) pre-admission screening from 11/21/2018. On 12/3/25 at 12:06pm, V2 (Assistant Administrator) said, We (facility) receive the referral of the patient from the hospital prior to admission. Once the patient arrives here, we enter the information into MAXIMUS. If the PASARR form has not been completed before admission, Social Services requests it. The purpose of the PASARR is to make sure the individual is appropriate for nursing home placement and does not require a Level II evaluation. A Level II is the second level of screening. I (V2) do not request PASARR's to be completed, Social Services gets involved for PASARR requests. On 12/03/25 at 12:14pm, V25 (Social Services Director) said, When the patient comes here, we (facility staff) confirm that a PASARR has been completed when it is triggered. Admissions reviews the information and looks at the face sheet to identify any mental health diagnoses that would trigger the process. If the PASARR has not been completed, I (V25) go in and request the clinical information to determine if the patient is appropriate for a SNF (skilled nursing facility) based on the clinical packet. I (V25) would then initiate the PASARR and determine whether someone from MAXIMUS needs to come in to assess for a Level II. The purpose of the Level II is to determine whether the patient's psychiatric diagnosis is appropriate for our setting or if they require placement in another level of care. Examples of mental health or psychiatric diagnoses that may trigger the process include paranoid schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, delusional disorder, multiple personality disorder, and anxiety. On 12/3/25 at 12:31pm, V2 (Assistant Administrator) said, I (V2) review the PASARRs for the potential new residents to be admitted . I (V2) do not have any clinical experience. Record review of facility policy titled, admission Criteria, revised date 11/2020, documents, in part, Nursing and medical needs of individuals with mental disorders or intellectual disabilities will be determined by coordination with the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review program (PASARR) to the extent practicable.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their admission criteria policy by failing to ensure that staff obtained information needed for the care of one resident from the attending physician prior to admission, failed to ensure that staff follow their medication administration policy by failing to administer prescribed diabetic medications and failed to notify the physician that medication was not available. This failure affected one (R135) of one resident reviewed for quality of care. R135 was admitted to the facility from the hospital, alert and oriented and was found unresponsive and cold to touch at the facility the following day. Death certificate listed cause of death as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Findings include:R135 [AGE] years old admitted to the facility on [DATE], face sheet listed the following past medical history among others; type 2 diabetes with hyperglycemia, acute cystitis with hematuria, essential primary hypertension, mixed hyperlipidemia, hypotension unspecified, hyperkalemia, etc.Hospital record dated 9/16/2025 documented active problems of type 2 diabetes, primary hypertension, hyperkalemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, anemia, etc. R135 received the following medications at the hospital among others: insulin lispro (Humalog pen) 1-5units subcutaneously three times a day with meals, insulin lispro (Humalog) pen 1-4 units subcutaneously nightly, etc. Same hospital record documented to continue the following medications: aspirin 81mg tablet, ergocalciferol 1,250ncg (50,000unit) capsule, glyburide 5 mg tablet, Januvia 100mg tablet, lisinopril 10mg tablet, pioglitazone 30mg tablet, simvastatin 40mg tablet. Discharge condition, stale, discharge disposition subacute rehab facility.Physician order dated 9/17/202 listed in part: Actos 30mg, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for DM, hold if blood sugar is <70, Atorvastatin 40mg, give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for hyperlipidemia, glyburide oral tablet 5mg, give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day, hold if blood sugar is <70, sAXagliptin 5mg tablet, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for DM, hold if blood sugar is <70, Sitagliptin phosphate 100mg, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for diabetes.Vital sign section of the medical record showed that the only blood sugar documented for the resident was 210, on 9/16/2025 at 21:34.Medication administration record (MAR) for September 2025 showed that R135 did not receive any of the above medications from the time of admission [DATE] at 19:56) to 9/17/2025 at 17:30 when the resident expired at the facility, all staff initialed the MAR with the number 9 indicating medicine was not available.On 12/3/2025 at 3:38PM, V34 (LPN) said that she admitted the resident, did a body assessment on him. V34 said that he received a report from the hospital before resident arrived and they told her that he is diabetic, she also reviewed the hospital record and texted a list of his medication to the doctor who told her to keep the same. V34 said that she did a blood sugar on the resident as a standard for admission, she did not inform the doctor that the resident is diabetic and did not receive any orders for blood glucose check from the doctor. V34 said that she did not give resident any medications that day because it was already late, his medication did not come from pharmacy yet and she did not have access to the emergency medication box. V34 added that there was no other staff on ground with access to the emergency box. V34 added that she did not notify the doctor or DON (Director of Nursing) that resident's medication was not available. Surveyor presented a medication administration record (MAR) where V34 signed that she gave resident atorvastatin 40mg at 21:00 on 9/16/2025at 2100 and she said, I don't know why I signed, I might have marked it in error.Fire department report dated 9/17/2025 documented in part: crew was dispatched for the full arrest, upon arrival [AGE] year-old male was found unresponsive and pulseless. Nursing home staff stated they found the patient unresponsive and started CPR immediately. Nursing home staff stated the last known well was 40 minutes prior to patient contact. Crew was unable to

Family friend called and message left to call the facility.On 12/02/2025 at 3:06PM, V9 (LPN) said she was assigned to the resident on day shift on 9/17/2025, V9 does not recall checking resident's blood sugar or administering any medication to resident. Review of medication administration record (MAR) V17 signed her initials with a letter 9 in the medication administration boxes. Surveyor presented this to V17 who said that the letter 9 indicated that the medication was not available. When residents are admitted sometimes it takes a while for their medications to come in. V17 was asked if she notified the physician that the medications are not available or tried to pull them from the emergency box, and she said no.On 12/03/2025 at 4:04PM, V35 (LPN) said that she was assigned to resident on 9/17/2025, when she arrived at work, she went and introduced herself to resident, went back to get her medication cart, gave resident's roommate medication and when she got to resident, she thought he was sleeping, she tried to wake resident up and realized that he was not breathing. Surveyor presented the above documentations to V35 and asked V35 to clarify how a patient can be alert and oriented at 16:55:00 and was unresponsive and cold to touch at 17:50:00 (25 minutes later). V35 said she did not know, maybe her timing was wrong in her progress note.On 12/03/2025 at 10:18AM, V3 Director of Nursing (DON) said that when resident's medications are not available, nurses are supposed to call the doctor to let them, they can also pull the medication from the emergency box, they are also supposed to document the notification in progress note.On 12/3 2025 at 11:28AM, V27, Pharmacist said that they delivered medication for resident on 9/17/2025 at 4:11PM, and he will send the manifest or proof of delivery. V27 added that the facility can call them if they any medication urgently or they can pull the medication from their emergency box. On 12/3/2025 at 1:58PM, V33, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said that she recalls the resident, he refused breakfast and lunch on 9/17/2025, stating that he does not have any appetite. V33 said that she left the lunch tray in resident's room and when she came back, he still did not want the food so V33 removed the tray and reported to the nurse.On 12/4/2025 at 10:18AM, V36, Attending Physician said that he never saw the resident and his nurse practitioner (NP) never saw the resident, he does not recall anything about the resident. V36 said that the resident was just assigned to him, he was not part of resident's care at the hospital, and it usually take him and his team 24 to 48 hours to see a new resident.

administering medications and controlled substances, when should it be signed out? V3 said, Document after administration ensuring resident took medication. If not, you'd have to go back and document why it wasn't taken. When the nurse pulls out the narcotic medication from the box it should be checked against the control record and MAR (medication administration record). Take the medication, write remaining amount, and administer it then sign it out. If a medication is received from the pharmacy without a controlled substance accountability record, what should be done? V3 said, We would call the pharmacy and ask them to send a log. If not, we have blank controlled substance records. We would copy the medication on the sheet with another nurse, prescription number, instructions of administration, day received, amount received. They should follow up with me so I can reach out to pharmacy. It's not ok to use a blank sheet of paper. The control log has what we need to be documented. V3 further said, The oncoming and off going nurse should be counting the narcotics together then sign the end and start of shift page. The Nursing Policy and Procedure revised 11/2020 states in part: Policy StatementThe facility shall comply with all laws, regulations, and other requirements related to handling, storage, disposal, and documentation of Schedule II and other controlled substances. Policy Interpretation and Implementation3. Controlled substances must be counted upon delivery. The nurse receiving the medication, along with the person delivering the medication, must count the controlled substances together. Both individuals must sign the designated controlled substance record.4. If the count is correct, an individual resident controlled substance record must be make for each resident who will be receiving a controlled substance. This record must contain: a. name of the resident, b. name and strength of the medication, c. quantity received, d. number on hand, e. name of physician, f. prescription number, g. name of issuing pharmacy, h. date and time received, i. time of administration, j. method of administration, k. signature of person receiving medication, and l. signature of nurse administering medication.9. Nursing staff must count controlled medications at the end of each shift. The nurse coming on duty and the nurse going off duty must make the count together.

The 3.3 Controlled Substance Policy states in part: PolicyMedications classified by the FDA as controlled substances have high abuse potential and may be subject to special handling, storage, and record keeping.Procedure: 4 b. All schedule II controlled substances (and other schedules if facility policy so dictates) will be counted each shift or whenever there is an exchange of keys between off-going and on-coming licensed nurses. The two nurses will: 1. Inspect both the drug package and the corresponding count sheet to verify the accuracy of the amount remaining. 2. Both nurses will count the number of packages of controlled substances that are being reconciled during the shift/shift count and document on the Shift Controlled Substance Count Sheet. 3. Both nurses will count the Controlled Substances count sheets and verify the accuracy of the number of remaining count sheets. 4. Both nurses will sign the Shift/Shift Controlled Substances Count Sheet acknowledging that the actual count of controlled substances and count sheet matches the quantity documented.he United Rx Pharmacy 5.4 Controlled Substance Medication policy states in part: PolicyMedications included in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classification as controlled substances are subject to special handling, storage, disposal, and record keeping in the facility, in accordance with federal and state laws regulations.Procedure: 6.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to have a five percent (5%) or lower medication error rate. There were 3 medication errors out of 33 medication opportunities resulting in a 9% medication error rate for 3 (R70, R79, and R129) residents reviewed during medication administration. This failure has the potential to affect all 131 residents in the facility.Findings include:On 09/30/2025 at 08:14 AM V17 LPN Licensed Practical Nurse signed out each medication as administered after preparing the medication prior to them being administered to R70. On 09/30/2025 at 08:30 AM, V17 administered 1 tablet of Senokot S Oral Tablet 8.6-50 mg (milligrams) to R79. R79's physician order states: Give 2 tablet by mouth one time a day for Constipation. On 09/30/2025 at 08:44 AM, V17 prepared R129's Senexon-S Tablet 8.6-50 MG give 2 tablet by mouth every 12 hours for Constipation. V17 only prepared 1 tablet for administration. On 09/30/2025 at 08:46 AM, V17 LPN prepared R129's Metamucil 4 in 1 Fiber Oral Packet (Psyllium) give 1 packet by mouth one time a day for Constipation mix in 8oz of liquid physician's order. V17 removed a container of Psyllium from the stock medication. Upon opening the container, V17 removed a clear plastic medication cup from the inside of the powder medication and scooped out an unmeasured amount and put it into a clear cup. V17 is using her bare hands. V17 was inquired of the amount measured. V17 said, I measured 19 ml's (milliliters), but I think it's too much. V17 poured the powdered medicine back into the clear medication cup from the inside of the container. V17 slowly emptied small amounts of the medication back into the container until she reached 15ml of powder. V17 held the clear medication cup up in the air and informed this surveyor she had measured 15mls of the powder. V17 returned the medication powder back into the cup and diluted it with an unmeasured amount of water. V17 did not verify the amount of Psyllium to be administered due to using a house stock container of the medication and not an individual packet per the physician order. V17 did not accurately measure the powdered Psyllium by holding the medication cup in the air at her eye level. V17 did not measure the amount of water needed to mix the medication per the physician order. On 09/30/2025 at 08:53 AM, V17 only administered 1 tablet of Senexon-S Tablet 8.6-50 mg. R129's physician order states give 2 tablets by mouth every 12 hours for Constipation. On 09/30/2025 at 9:10 AM, V17 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) was inquired of the medication administration. Why is it important to check the MAR (medication administration record) and physician orders before administering medication to a resident? V17 said, To make sure I give everything the resident is supposed to get. The house stock Psyllium has a clear medication cup inside the container, how is this a concern during medication administration? V17 said, Because we touch the cup and put it back in the jar. It's spreading germs to other residents.How do you ensure reliability and accuracy when taking measurements? V17 said, Measure and sit it down to make sure it's an accurate amount.When administering medications, when should it be signed out? V17 said, I should do it after I give the medication because if the resident refuses it, I have to chart it. On 09/30/2025 at 12:36 PM, V3 DON (Director of Nursing) was inquired of concerns identified during medication administration. Why is it important to check the MAR (medication administration record) prior to giving the medication? V3 DON said, The meds are ordered by the physician and to give the correct dose. It's the five rights, right person, right route, right medication, right dose, right time. If done that would prevent the error. How do you ensure reliability and accuracy when taking measurements? V3 said, To measure I would set the cup down and look at it eye level. Holding it in hand it could shift. When administering medications when should it be signed out? V3 said, Document after administration ensuring resident took medication. If not, you'd have to go back and document why it wasn't taken.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to 1. ensure a resident had a physician's order to keep a prescribed inhaler at the bedside for one (R21) resident, 2. failed to remove expired stock Loratadine medication and two unlabeled prescription Fluticasone/Salmeterol oral inhalation Diskus from the medication cart. This failure has the potential to affect 43 residents receiving medication on the 2nd and 4 residents (R24, R91, R92, and R124) receiving Loratadine stock medication on the 4th floor during medication storage review. On [DATE] at 10:31am, R21 was sitting in their wheelchair with Fluticasone propionate nasal spray noted on the bedside table with no label no name and not in manufacturer packet and no pharmacy labeled package. R21 stated that it is mine and I (R21) use it all the time. The nurse gave it to me. It's mine. When the surveyor made V6 (Nurse) aware and shown the medication and was asked about the facility policy on medication administration that includes medication been left at bedside. V6 (RN) stated I don't know if she can keep it at bedside, but I will check her orders. Both surveyor and nurse checked the EMAR (Electronic Medication Administration) there was no order to keep at bedside or self-administer any medication. R21 medical record EMAR and Physician order showed R21 has an order fluticasone propionate nasal to be administered 1 (one) spray each nostril one time a day but there was no order to keep at bedside. V6 stated that the facility protocol and policy on medication storage is that medications should be kept in the med cart. V6 stated that she did not give the medication to R21 because it was scheduled for 6am. On [DATE] at approximately 11:16am, V3 (Director of Nurses') stated in part that the resident should be educated and an order to keep medication at bedside should be obtained (from the physician) or NP (Nurse Practitioner) and it is the expectation that staff will make rounds alternating between the licensed staff (RN/LPN) and the C.N.As and correct whatever is not appropriate. As at [DATE] and [DATE] the facility was unable to present any physician order for R21 to self-administer any medication. On [DATE] at approximately 4:38pm, V3 acknowledge that R21 should not have the nasal spray at the bedside without physician order.
Findings include: On [DATE] at 10:47 AM, the 4 [NAME] medication cart was reviewed with V12 LPN. Review of the stock medication notes a bottle of Loratadine 10mg (milligram) medication (Antihistamine) 300 tablet bottle is in the medication drawer with an expiration date of 08/25. V12 LPN was inquired of the bottle. V12 said, It says [DATE]. V12 was asked if the bottle was expired. V12 said, Yes. On [DATE] at 11:52 AM, review of the 2 East medication cart identified 2 unlabeled, undated, and unboxed Fluticasone/ Salmeterol oral inhalation powder 500mcg (micrograms)/50 mcg medication Diskus in the 3rd drawer of the cart. V7 was inquired of the medication. V7 said, I'm not sure who they belong to. They weren't in the box. I'll just toss those.
