Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure dressing changes and/or
intravenous (IV) tubing changes were completed to decrease the potential for infection for 2 of 2 residents
(R1 and R2) in the sample of 2 with central lines.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 5/27/25 at 9:38 AM, R1's PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) insertion site to his right upper
arm was dressed, but it was not labeled with a date or time. R1 had antibiotics infusing and the tubing was
not labeled with a date or time. R1 said the staff do not change his PICC dressing every week as is
required.
On 5/27/25 at 10:25 AM, R2 had antibiotics infusing via his PICC line. The tubing was not labeled with the
date or time. R2 said staff had not changed his PICC dressing for almost two weeks and the IV medication
tubing is supposed to be changed every 24 hours, but it is four days old.
On 5/27/25 at 10:34 AM, V6, RN, said they can use the same IV tubing for 72 hours, but he changes the
tubing every day, so he does not date/time the tubing. V6 said PICC dressing changes are every week. V6
said the PICC dressing changes are documented on the EMAR/ETAR (electronic medication administration
record/electronic treatment administration record) when they are done. V6 said if it is not signed off, then it
has not been done.
On 5/27/25 at 11:49 AM, V5, Registered Nurse (RN), said the PICC line dressing is supposed to be
changed by an RN weekly and the dressing is dated, timed, and initialed and documented on the TAR. V5
said the IV tubing needs to be changed every 24 hours for each medication being administered.
On 5/27/25 at 12:25 PM, V4, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) said the PICC dressing is supposed to be
changed every seven days and the IV tubing needs to be changed every three days. V4 said the IV tubing
is supposed to be dated with the date it was changed.
On 5/27/25 at 1:07 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), said she does not know how long a set of IV tubing
can be used before needing to be changed, but the tubing should be dated when it is changed. V2 said she
does not know if PICC line dressings should be dated. V2 said PICC dressings are changed once a week
and documented on the TAR. V2 said if a medication or treatment is not documented, it has not been done.
On 5/27/25 at 2:43 PM, V3, Assistant DON/Infection Prevention nurse, said IV tubing for intermittent
medications should be changed every 48 hours to prevent the contamination of the IVs when they are not
being used.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to administer intravenous (IV) antibiotics as ordered
by the physician for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for intravenous therapy in the sample of 2.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 5/27/25 at 10:25 AM, R2 said he is supposed to get IV (intravenous) antibiotics twice a day. R2 said he
missed an entire day of antibiotics, both doses, because the medication did not get ordered.
On 5/27/25 at 9:35 AM, V5, Registered Nurse (RN), said R1 has IV antibiotics ordered every 12 hours.
On 5/27/25 at 10:34 AM, V6, RN, said R2 gets IV antibiotics every 12 hours. V6 said once the medication
administration is started, he charts it on the EMAR (electronic medication administration record). V6 said if
a medication is not signed off, that means it has not been given.
On 5/27/25 at 12:25 PM, V4, LPN (licensed practical nurse), said R2 was on IV antibiotics every 12 hours
at 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. V4 said she checked for R2's IV antibiotics (Vancomycin) and there was no more.
V4 said she called V2, DON (director of nursing), V2, and they looked together. They could not find the dose
for the next shift on 5/10/25, so she called the pharmacy and was told the medication would arrive for the
next shift. V4 said she knows R2 did not get his Vancomycin on (Tuesday) 5/13/24. V4 said she put in a
progress note and informed R2 that the medication was not available. V4 said she put a code 9 on R2's
MAR which means see progress notes. V4 said a code 11 means the medication is not available. V4 said
she works a double shift (day shift and evening shift) on Tuesdays.
On 5/27/25 at 11:49 AM, V5, RN said R1's Vancomycin was not available for the evening dose on 5/6/25.
V5 said she went home that night at 11:30 PM and it had not been delivered.
On 5/27/25 at 1:07 PM, V2 said if an ordered medication is not available, the nurse can check the
convenience box and they can call the pharmacy. V2 said she and V4 went together and looked for R2's
medication and it was not there. V2 said V4 was going to call the pharmacy, but she does not know what
the outcome was. V2 said it is important for residents on IV antibiotics to get their scheduled doses
because they are ordered by the doctor. V2 said if a medication is not documented as being given, then it
was not done. On 5/27/25 at 2:47 PM, V2 said if a medication cannot be obtained, the nurse needs to notify
the doctor and follow any further instructions.
On 5/27/25 at 2:43 PM, V3, Assistant DON/Infection Prevention nurse, said if a medication is not available,
the nurse should be checking the convenience box and if it's not there they should be calling the pharmacy
to see if they can deliver it sooner, and then inform the nurse practitioner, doctor, and/or infectious
diseases.
R1's MAR for 5/1/25 to 5/31/25 shows R1's Vancomycin was not available (code 11 documented) on 5/6/25
for his 9:00 PM dose.
R2's MAR for 5/1/25 to 5/31/25 shows R2's Vancomycin was not administered on 5/10/25 at 9:00 PM or on
5/13/25 at 9:00 AM nor 9:00 PM. R2's Progress Notes dated 5/13/25 at 2:28 PM show the pharmacy

was contacted regarding R2's antibiotics and was told they would arrive at the next scheduled delivery later
that day. R2 was informed and the convenience medication box did not have any of the ordered antibiotics.
R2's Progress Notes dated 5/13/25 at 10:46 PM show R2's Vancomycin still had not arrived at that time.
