F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2.) On 7/10/23 at 9:31 AM there was a container of chewable antacid tablets on the bedside table in R4's room. R4 stated that R4's family brings in R4's medications to the facility. Residents Affected - Few R4's Order Summary dated 7/12/23 does not document an order for a chewable antacid. R4's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R4 is cognitively intact. On 7/11/23 at 1:32 PM, V2 Director of Nursing stated that if a resident is able to self administer medications, they can keep them in their room and they would complete a self administration of medication assessment and it would be entered into the resident's electronic medical record. On 7/11/23 at 3:24 PM, V2 confirmed that R4 does not have a self administration of medication assessment completed at this time. V2 stated that they discussed with R4 and R4's Power of Attorney that if R4 would like to keep the antacids in R4's room they could complete a self administration of medication assessment. V2 stated at this time the medication is in the nurse's medication cart. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a self administration of medication assessment for residents with medications at bedside for two of two residents (R4, R29) reviewed for self administration of medications on the sample list of 18. Findings Include: The facility's undated Self Administration of Medication Policy documents residents in our facility who wish to self administer their medications may do so if it is determined that they are capable of doing so. The staff and practitioner will assess each resident's mental and physical abilities to determine whether a resident is capable of self administering medications and document their findings and the choices of the residents who are potentially capable of self administering medications. Self administered medications must be stored in a safe and secure place, which is not accessible by other residents. If safe storage is not possible, the medications will be kept in the medication cart and nursing will transfer the unopened medication to the resident when the resident requests them. The resident's ability to self administer medications will be reevaluated periodically (for example, during quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) reviews). 1.) On 7/10/23 at 11:54 AM, R29 was sitting up in the recliner in R29's room, without staff present, with a medication cup containing three pills; a white capsule, a white tablet and black gel coated pill sitting on the over bed table. When asked about the pills, R29 stated I will take them and dumped them out of the cup and onto a tray but didn't take them at this time.

F 0554 The only Self Administration of Medication Assessment in R29's medical record is dated 1/26/23. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 7/10/23 at 11:57 AM, V4 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated V4 left R29's vitamins and cranberry pill in the room with R29 because V4 had already prepared them however R29 wanted to wait to take them. V4 stated the facility used to be able to leave medications with R29 but they are not supposed to anymore because R29 isn't limber enough to take them independently. Residents Affected - Few On 7/11/23 at 3:23 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated a Self Administration Medication Assessments should be completed quarterly, at the time of the MDS, and if a resident is able to self administer medications, there should be a physician's order for that. R29's July 2023 Physician Order's do not contain an order for R29 to self administer medications. R29's Care Plan dated 5/17/23 does not document that R29 is able to self administer medications. 145794 Page 2 of 6 145794 07/12/2023 Fairview Haven 605 North 4th Street Fairbury, IL 61739
