F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications are labeled and stored appropriately until they are administered for 4 of 4 residents (R4, R21, R23, R32) reviewed for medication storage in the sample of 34. Findings include: On 5/24/23 at 7:50 AM, V7, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), was observed doing the AM medication pass on the 100 and 200 Halls. When V7 opened the top drawer of the medication cart, there were three medication cups containing multiple pills and capsules. These cups were labeled with R4's, R21's, and R23's names, but no other identifying information or dates were written on the cups. There were two cups of clear fluid on top of the medication cart. 1. R4's Physician Order Summary dated 5/24/23 documents he takes the following medications in the morning: Fluoxetine 10 milligram (mg), Ergocalciferol 2000 units (u), Carbidopa-Levodopa 25-100 mg 2 tabs, Vitamin B12 1000 micrograms (mcg), Miralax 17 Grams (Gm), Aspirin 81 mg, Acetaminophen 325 mg 2 tablets, Odansatron 4 mg, and Trihexyphenidyl 1 mg. On 5/24/23 at 8:25 AM, V7 reviewed the medications labeled with R4's name. There were 10 pills in the cup. V7 identified the pills as Carbidopa-Levadopa 25/100 (2), Aspirin 81 mg (1), Odansatron 4 mg (1), Trihexyphenidyl 1 mg 1/2 tab, Vitamin B12 1000 mcg (1), Ergocalciferol 2000 u (1), and Tylenol 325 mg (2). V7 stated this was R4's morning meds. When pills were counted in the cup, there were 10 pills in the cup and V7 only identified 9 medications. When pills were compared to pills on R4's med cards and in stock medication bottles, the 10th medication was identified as Fluoxetine 10 mg and orders were all reconciled. V7 stated she thought she would recognize all of the pills and be able to identify what they were, but she was unable to identify the Fluoxetine until it was compared to his card of Fluoxetine. V7 also took a cup of fluid that looked like water off the top of the medication cart to give to R4. V7 identified this cup of fluid as R4's Miralax 17Gm. She stated the second cup of fluid was also Miralax in water for another resident to whom she still had to administer medications. These two cups of clear fluid had been sitting on the top of the medication cart since the start of the medication administration observation. 2. R21's Physician Order Summary dated 5/24/23 documents she takes the following medications in the morning: Sertraline 50 mg (1), Senna 8.6 mg (1), Miralax 17 Gm, Acetaminophen 325 mg (2), Apixaban 2.5 mg (1), Carvedilol 6.25 mg (1), and Isosorbide 20 mg (1). 3.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 5/24/23 at 8:20 AM, V7 stated, I'm not going to lie. I set the medications up for these residents when I first started my medication pass. I already signed them out on the MAR (Medication Administration Record) when I set them up. I will go back in and document any additional information, like a pain level or blood pressure, as soon as I get them. They are in the top drawer of the medication cart. I know we are not supposed to pre-set up medications, but if I didn't, I would be here forever doing my med pass. I do this every morning. If I had to leave and another nurse had to take over, and I had set a resident's medications up ahead of time, most of the other nurses know the residents and know their medication by sight. On 5/24/23 at 1:00 PM, V7 confirmed the second unlabeled cup of water containing Miralax that was sitting on the top of the medication cart this morning was for R32. V7 stated she had pre-mixed the Miralax when she set up the other medications to remind her to go down and administer R32's medications. V7 stated she did not need to label the cups containing Miralax with R4's or R32's names because Miralax is always the same dose so it doesn't matter which cup she gives them. On 5/24/23 at 9:10 AM, V1, Administrator stated, The nurses know they are not supposed to pre-set up any residents' medications. They should be checking the medication card against the order in the e-MAR (electronic medication administration record) and then give the medication at that time, not setting it up to give later. The facility's policy, Medication Administration, dated 1/11/10 documents, Objective: To provide accuracy during medication pass to assure quality care for residents. Policy: It is the policy of this facility to accurately administer medication following physician's orders. Procedure: 6. Compare label with MAR. Medications should be charted during the med pass in a consistent manner before moving on to the next resident. 145367 Page 5 of 5
