Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's Medication Error policy dated 1/4/23, states, Significant medication error means one of which
causes the resident discomfort or jeopardizes his/her health and safety. The facility shall ensure
medications will be administered as follows: a. According to physician's orders. Medication errors, once
identified, will be evaluated to determine if considered significant or not by utilizing the following three
general guidelines: a. Resident's Condition: If the resident's condition requires rigid control, such as strict
intake and output measurement, daily weights, or monitoring of lab values. b. Drug Category: If the
medication is from a category that usually requires the resident to be titrated to a specific blood level such
as a medication with a narrow therapeutic index. c. Frequency of Error: If an error is occurring repeatedly
such as an omission of a resident's medication several times.
R1's Hospital Progress Notes dated 6/5/23-6/12/23, documents R1 was admitted with a primary diagnosis
of Hepatic Encephalopathy triggered by constipation related to Hepatic Cirrhosis.
R1's Hospital re-admission orders dated 6/12/23, document new orders for Senna 8.6 mg (milligram) by
mouth two times per day for a diagnosis of constipation and Xifaxan 550 mg by mouth two times per day for
a diagnosis of Hepatic Encephalopathy.
R1's Medication Administration Record dated 6/2023, documents R1 was not administered Senna 8.6 mg
or Xifaxan 550 mg until 6/17/23.
Xifaxan.com states Xifaxan is a non-systemic antibiotic that slows the growth of bacteria in the gut that are
believed to be linked to symptoms of overt HE (Hepatic Encephalopathy). Xifaxan is the only FDA- (Food
and Drug Administration) approved medicine indicated for the reduction in risk of overt HE recurrence in
adults. It was also proven to help reduce the risk of HE-related hospitalizations. Expert guidelines strongly
recommend that doctors use Xifaxan together with lactulose as part of a plan to help manage overt HE.
R1's Medication Error Report Form dated 6/16/23, documents R1's physician ordered Xifaxan (antibiotic to
help prevent recurrence of certain liver problems) 550 mg tablet twice a day was omitted

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
between 6/13/23 and 6/17/23 (9 missed doses). This same form states the Xifaxan was missed during
readmit (6/12/23 at 11:57 p.m.)/contributing factor (readmit) was at midnight). V3 (Minimum Data Set (MDS)
Coordinator) and V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse) were responsible for the medication error. R1's Medication
Error Report states, (R1) had no change in condition. (R1) was seen in the (emergency room) on 6/14/23
(after a fall with no injury).
Residents Affected - Few
On 6/23/23 at 12:43 p.m., V3 (MDS Coordinator) stated, I was working 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. when (R1) was
readmitted on [DATE] at almost midnight. We had two admissions on that shift. One earlier than (R1). I had
medication pass and everything else I needed to do during my shift on top of two new admissions. I went
through the other new resident's chart. In the middle of that is when R1 came in around midnight. We got
him admitted and to bed. I told him I would be back in to assess everything, and he just wanted to go to
bed. I started processing R1's admission but was not able to get it all completed and handed it off to the
next shift, who was (V4/Licensed Practical Nurse).
On 6/23/23 at 12:47 p.m. V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated she was the day shift on 6/13/23 following
the night shift of V3. V4 stated, I didn't have time to even look at (R1's) admission check list. I wasn't aware
of (R1) having orders that had not been transcribed or sent to pharmacy. I simply didn't have time on my
shift. The admission policy says that two nurses will go over the admission check list to be sure that all
orders are entered correctly. In this case, (V3) didn't have time to get the new orders in and I didn't even
have a chance to look at what she had completed on the checklist to see that orders had not been
processed. (R1) did have new orders for Xifaxan and Senna that were not processed or given as ordered.
On 6/23/23 at 9:30 a.m., V6 (R1's family member) stated on 6/16/23, V6 realized R1 was not receiving his
Xifaxan and Senna that had been ordered at the hospital. V6 stated R1 returned from the hospital on
6/12/23 and he did not receive either one of those medications until the morning he was discharged . V6
stated R1 ended up in the hospital on 6/17/23 with Hepatic Encephalopathy. V6 stated no physician has told
her that R1 not receiving the Xifaxan, or Senna resulted in R1's hospitalization on 6/17/23. V6 stated, But
that was the reason that the new medications were ordered was to help control the Hepatic
Encephalopathy and constipation due to R1's liver failure.
R1's Progress Notes dated 6/13/23 through 6/16/23, do not document any change in R1's condition.
R1's Progress Notes dated 6/17/23 at 10:15 a.m., document the following: R1's wife was requesting R1 be
sent to the hospital to have his ammonia levels checked because she thought R1 was not doing well. (R1)
alert with confusion per his norm. Took meds whole this (morning). Voiced no (complaints) at this time. (R1's
physician) paged. R1 was sent to the hospital via ambulance.
R1's Progress Note dated 6/18/23, states the Hospital called to notify them that R1 has been admitted with
a diagnosis of Hepatic Encephalopathy.
