Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure bottles of eye drops were
dated when opened. This failure affected two residents (R21 and R30) of ten residents reviewed for
medication storage, in a total sample of 35 residents.
Findings include:
On 3/7/22 between 11:10am and 11:20am during the observation of medication carts and medication
rooms, on the eighth floor with V3 (RN/Registered Nurse), the following medications were observed opened
with no open dates:
R21's 2.5 ml (milliliters) bottle of Latanoprost Ophthalmic solution 0.005%(Percent).
R30's 2.5 ml bottle of Latanoprost Ophthalmic solution 0.005%.
V3 was asked if the eye drops should be opened without labeling them with the open dates; V3 stated
Latanoprost should have an open date because it will expire after six weeks.
On 3/8/22 at 1:15pm, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated V2 spoke with the Pharmacist, and the Pharmacist
said it's good for 6 weeks at room temperature after opening.
On 3/9/22 at 10:45am, V1 (Administrator) presented the storage guidelines for Xalatan (Latanoprost)
revised August 2011. This document states, Protect from light. Store unopened bottles under refrigeration
at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. Once a bottle is opened for use, it may be stored at room temperature up to
77 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 weeks.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to track the status of influenza and
pneumococcal vaccinations and consents for three residents (R29, R37, and R40), in a sample of 7
residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. On 3/09/22 at 9:25 AM, R29's electronic immunization record had no influenza or pneumococcal
vaccines documented. No consents for either vaccine were found in the electronic medical record. R29 was
not listed on the influenza or pneumococcal immunization report provided to the surveyor by V10 (Infection
Preventionist). R29 was admitted on [DATE].
2. On 3/09/22 at 10:34 AM, V10 stated V10 is still working on obtaining the Influenza/Pneumococcal
consents for the residents requested 3/08/2022. V10 stated R37 is from the assisted living portion of the
facility, and V10 will have to obtain the consents from them. R37 is currently in the short-term rehab.
On 3/09/22 at 11:53 AM, R37's electronic immunization record had no influenza or pneumococcal vaccines
documented. No consents for either vaccine were found in the electronic medical record. R37 was not listed
on the influenza or pneumococcal immunization report. R37 was admitted on [DATE].
3. On 3/09/22 at 11:54 AM, R40's electronic immunization record had no influenza or pneumococcal
vaccines documented. No consents for either vaccine were found in the electronic medical record. R40 was
not listed on the influenza or pneumococcal immunization report. R40 was admitted on [DATE].
On 3/09/22 at 3:10 PM, the surveyor asked V10 (Infection Preventionist) if there is a specific policy on
tracking of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination status for residents. V10 stated, I don't believe there is
a specific policy. V10 stated the immunization report provided to the surveyor was run from the electronic
medical record, and that's where the consents and immunizations are documented. The surveyor asked
V10, how do you know who is due for a pneumonia or influenza vaccine? V10 stated the floor nurses are
responsible for checking the vaccination status. V10 stated, Moving forward, I can take over the task and
create a more streamlined process.
On 3/10/2022 at 10:16 am, the surveyor interviewed V2, DON (Director of Nursing) and asked if a resident
declines influenza/pneumococcal vaccination and is eligible to receive the vaccine, what is the expectation
for following up with the resident? V2 stated they do follow up with the residents or the resident's family
yearly to see if they want to be vaccinated. So, the expectation for someone who refused vaccination in the
past is to follow up the next year. The surveyor asked who is responsible for making sure residents are up
to date with the influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations? V2 stated the nurses on the floor check the
vaccination status, and audits are done from the electronic medical record. V2 stated V2's supervisor has
an admission audit form. V2 stated V2 also talks with the staff, especially for new admissions, to make sure
that they have current vaccinations. V2 stated V10 (Infection Preventionist) offered to take over the
responsibility of tracking influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations and consents. The surveyor asked V2
what is the importance of making sure that influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations are up to date? V2
stated, Aside from compliance, we want to make sure our residents are protected. V2 stated a lot of the
residents in the facility are immunocompromised so the best way to protect them is to make sure they have
been vaccinated.
