F 0759 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 administer medications as ordered. There were 35 opportunities with 3 errors resulting in an 8.57% error rate. This applies to 2 of 3 residents (R38 and R6) observed in medication pass. The findings include: 1. On 8/20/25 at 8:22 AM, V6 (RN/Registered Nurse) was observed for medication pass for R38. At 8:37 AM, V6 took R38 his Breyna inhaler to him. V6 put the inhaler in R38's mouth and administered one puff of the inhaler and held it there for 10 seconds prior to removing the inhaler. V6 did not instruct R38 to take water, swish, and spit the water after administration of the inhaler. V6 also did not administer R38's Metformin 850 MG (Milligrams). R38's face sheet showed he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes mellitus and wheezing. R38's POS (Physician Order Sheet) showed an order for Symbicort 160-mcg-4.5 mcg/actuation aerosol (Breyna inhaler) dated 8/12/25. R38's Breyna medication packaging showed to rinse and spit after administration of Breyna inhaler. R38's POS also showed an order for pioglitazone 15 MG/Metformin 850 MG two times daily starting 7/31/25. On 8/20/25 at 2:44 PM, R38's medication cart was reviewed and showed a box for pioglitazone with a highlighted section showing to Take along with Metformin 850 MG. R38's medication cart did not have a box of Metformin HCL (Hydrochloride) 850 MG tablets. On 8/20/25 at 3:22 PM, V6 said she thought the pioglitazone was combined with the metformin and thought she had administered the combination medication. On 8/20/25 at 3:18 PM, V3 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) said she found R38's Metformin 850 MG tablets in the medication room. At 3:23 PM, V3 said the staff probably put the medication in the medication storage room because they thought it was two boxes of the same medication. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) label for Breyna showed it should be administered as 2 inhalations twice daily (morning and evening, approximately 12 hours apart), every day by the orally inhaled route only. After inhalation, the patient should rinse the mouth with water without swallowing. 2. On 8/20/25 at 8:51 AM, V6 prepared R6's Novolin insulin pen. V6 cleaned the tip of the pen, attached the needle, and primed the pen with one unit of insulin. V6 then clicked the pen to 5 units of insulin and administered it to the resident. R6's face sheet showed she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes mellitus. R6's POS showed an order for Novolog flexpen U (Unit)-100 insulin aspart 100 unit/mL (Milliliter) subcutaneous (5 units) insulin Pen starting 8/16/25. On 8/20/25 at 1:18 PM, V5 (RN) said when administering medications, you had to follow the order in the computer. V5 said for insulin pens, it needed to be primed with two units prior to administering the dose. V5 also said after administering Breyna, the nurse should offer water to the resident to have them rinse their mouth and spit out the water. On 8/21/25 at 1:55 PM, V8 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) said insulin pens needed to be primed with at least two units of insulin and to make sure to see the insulin shoot out. V8 said this was done to make sure there were no bubbles in the needle to ensure the resident received the correct dose. V8 also said after administration of the Breyna inhaler, the resident should rinse the mouth and spit the water out to prevent thrush. V8 said the order for pioglitazone with metformin were two separate 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.

On 8/21/25 at 9:42 AM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said the insulin pens needed to be primed with five to 10 units of insulin to ensure removal of the bubbles. V2 said one unit of insulin was not sufficient to remove any bubbles. V2 also said after the use of the Breyna inhaler, the nurse had to offer the resident water to swish and spit as it could cause candida in the mouth.
