Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to follow its self-administration of medications
policy and assess one resident (R17) to determine if this practice was safe prior to allowing R17 to
self-administer medications out of three residents reviewed for self-administration of medications in a
sample of 35.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 3/21/24 at 11:30 AM, V26 (Nurse) stated that residents that are alert and oriented x 3 are able to
self-administer medications. V26 stated that V26 gave the prescribed hemorrhoid ointment to R17 and R17
would self-administer. V26 denied monitoring R17 while R17 self-administered this medication to ensure
medication administered as prescribed.
On 3/21/24 at 3:00 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated that no resident at this facility can
self-administer medications. V2 stated that residents have to be assessed and cleared from physician's
standpoint before they could take medications on their own. V2 stated that R17 would not be appropriate to
self-administer medications.
On 3/22/24 at 2:30 PM, V10 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated that the resident can self-administer
medications if he/she has a physician order. V10 identified her initials on R17's September MAR
(medication administration record) and stated that she was assigned to provide care for R17 on 9/12, 9/13,
and 9/14. V10 stated that she does not recall if she administered the medication to R17 or observed R17
inserting the hemorrhoidal medication into his rectum.
R17's medical record does not note R17 was assessed by the interdisciplinary team and determined safe
to self-administer hemorrhoid ointment. There is no documentation noting R17 had a care plan for
self-administering medications.
This facility's self-administration of medications policy, dated 09/2020, notes residents have the right to
self-administer their medications if they have the cognitive, physical and visual ability and the
interdisciplinary team has determined the practice is safe for the resident. Residents who request to
self-administer drugs will be assessed at the time of admission or thereafter, to determine if the practice is
safe. The assessments will be discussed with the attending physician and an order obtained to
self-administer, if appropriate. Personnel authorized to administer medications are responsible for
documenting resident's understanding of the use of routine drugs, signs, symptoms and response to use,
and based on observation of resident self-administration.
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.

residents (R7, R10, R15-R19) out of 7 residents reviewed for showers and skin assessments.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
On 3/26/24 at 9:05 AM, R35 was observed at the nurses' station asking to take a shower. V31 CNA

observed entering into the shower room to monitor R35 or perform a skin assessment.
On 3/26/24 at 9:20 AM, R35 exited shower room fully clothed, disposed of used towels in linen bin and
went to his room.
On 3/20/24 at 1:55pm, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated that the nurse performs skin assessments
weekly on residents's shower days. V2 stated that there is a shower binder containing the shower schedule
on each nursing unit. V2 stated that showers are performed weekly. V2 stated that the baseline is weekly,
but residents can shower more often if they request.
On 3/21/24 at 11:30 AM, V26 (Nurse) stated that if a resident refuses showers, the CNA would notify of V26
of refusal. V26 stated that V26 would speak with R17 if R17 refused a shower and V26 could get R17 to
agree to take a shower. V26 stated that staff should be in shower room monitoring the resident during
shower. V26 stated that skin assessments are performed on shower days by CNA; CNA would inform V26 if
there was any skin issue identified. V26 stated that he would also perform a skin assessment to verify

bedside especially if the resident has a diagnosis of dementia. V54 stated that it is a nursing standard of

medications were observed on the floor in front of the nurses' station, V54 responded that the nurses
should be checking the area where the residents are taking medication to ensure that no medications are
dropped.

on how to proceed. The facility emphasizes treatment with dignity
at all times. The facility reserves the right to remove locks from

The procedure for developing resident-centered care plans to
provide guidance to staff to prevent residents with a history of
substance abuse from introducing contraband into the facility or
obtaining contraband in the facility will be achieved through
education provided by the Administrator to the Social Services
department staff on the importance of identifying residents with
substance abuse disorders and assessing their risk of introducing
drugs/contraband and obtaining drugs/contraband while in the
facility. This risk assessment is documented in the resident chart in
the Social Service Initial Interview for SMI/Substance Abuse
Disorder (SS) assessment. This risk assessment must be used by the
social services staff to develop a resident-centered care plan to
address the potential risks of the resident introducing
drugs/contraband into the facility and obtaining contraband/drugs
while in the facility. Care plan interventions will be based on the
resident's personal risk factors and coping mechanisms and may
include but are not limited to efforts outlined in the facility policy
for Alcohol/Substance Use/Abuse such as outside treatment
services, acute/active treatment, sobriety counseling, or aftercare
