F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. 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 follow physician orders and administer a newly ordered laxative and antibiotic to help reduce the risk of Hepatic Encephalopathy (altered level of consciousness as a result of liver failure) for one of three residents (R1) reviewed for medication errors in the sample of three. 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 (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0760 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.
