Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to appropriately document in the eMAR (Electronic Medication Record). This failure affected one resident (R3) of three residents reviewed for improper nursing care.
Findings include: R3's admission Record documents diagnoses including but not limited to heart failure, unspecified, type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis, psychotic disorder with delusions due to known physiological condition, essential (primary) hypertension, anemia, unspecified, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified, and pure hyperglyceridemia. R3's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) dated 9/27/2024 documents R3 has a BIMS score of 06, which indicates R3's cognition is severely impaired. On 11/06/2024, V1(Administrator) presented R3's MAR (Medication Administration Record) and POS (Physician Order Statement) which were reviewed. There was a missing entry for Nurses' signature on the MAR for October 2024 as follows: October 7th at 0900-Trulicity Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector 0.75 mg(milligrams)/0.5ml(milliliters)-Inject 0.75 mg subcutaneously one time a day every Monday. R3's POS (Physician Order Summary) dated 11/06/2024 documents in part, Trulicity Subcutaneous Solution Pen-Injector 0.75mg/0.5ml-Inject 0.75 mg subcutaneously one time a day every Monday for DM2 (Diabetes Mellitus 2). On 11/06/2024 at 12:33pm, V3 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) was interviewed and stated the assigned nurse on the unit is responsible for administering the medications to the residents on that unit. V3 stated in my professional opinion, when there are missing nurse's initials on a resident's medication administration record for a scheduled medication that is to be administered to the resident on a specific date and time this would indicate the resident did not receive the medication. V3 stated there are codes the nurse can use on the medication administration record indicating why a scheduled medication was not administered to the resident. V3 stated it is my expectation that the nurses would use the codes and not leave the medication administration record blank for a resident's scheduled medication that is to be administered to the resident on a specific date and time. On 11/06/2024 reviewed the facility's policy titled Medication Pass with a revised date of 8/16/24, which documents in part, 7e. After medication is administered to each resident, sign MAR (medication administration record) that it was given. On 11/06/2024 reviewed the facility's RN (Registered Nurse) Floor Nurse and LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) Floor Nurse job descriptions which documents in part, 16. Completes medical records documenting care provided and other information in accordance with nursing policies while maintaining strict confidentiality.
