What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 7 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. 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 change a resident's (R14) PICC line dressing as scheduled or as needed and failed to ensure a resident's PICC line end cap was changed weekly. The facility failed to ensure blood glucose monitoring was completed before meals and before residents (R24 & R17) started eating. The facility failed to ensure daily weights were done for residents (R4, R1, R17, R137 & R132). This applies to 7 of 7 residents (R14, R24, R17, R4, R1, R137, & R132) reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 17. Residents Affected - Some The findings include: 1. On 8/1/23 at 11:05 AM R14 was sitting in his wheelchair in his room with Vancomycin (intravenous antibiotic) alarming on the pump that stated, air in line. The IV (intravenous) tubing for the antibiotic was attached to a PICC (Peripherally inserted central catheter) in his right upper arm. The dressing on R14's PICC line was loose and coming off. On 8/1/23 at 11:26 AM, V7 RN (Registered Nurse) went into R14's room at the request of the surveyor. V7 shut the pump off and stated she started the infusion at 8:00 AM after confirming the date and time on the IV tubing was 8/1/23 at 8:00 AM. V7 stated she could not tell the dressing date on his PICC line dressing. She could see the month that was July but not the date. V7 stated, I can't tell who did it (PICC line dressing). They did a terrible job. The dressing is supposed to be changed every seven days. V7 stated R14's TAR showed the PICC line dressing was last changed on 7/12/23. On 8/2/23 at 1:15 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated a PICC line dressing should be changed weekly to reduce the potential for infection. The PICC line dressing should be changed as needed if it is not securely in place, if there is excess drainage, or if there was a patency issue. V2 stated PICC line care and dressing changes are in the standing orders. When the dressing change is completed, the nurses have to sign it off on the TAR (Treatment Administration Record). The Face Sheet dated 8/2/23 for R14 showed medical diagnoses including sepsis due to methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, covid-19, peripheral vascular disease, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic heart disease, pneumonia, pleural effusion, cellulitis, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Physician Orders for R14 showed on 7/10/23 and order was entered to change his PICC line dressing weekly and as needed; change end caps (valve microclave) weekly and as needed. The TAR (Treatment Administration Record) dated July 2023 for R14 showed, Change PICC line dressing weekly and prn (as needed) every day shift, every Wednesday for PICC line care.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Change end caps (valve microclave) weekly and as needed every day shift, every Wednesday for PICC Line care. R14's July 2023 TAR showed his PICC line dressing was changed on 7/12/23 and was due to be changed on 7/19/23 but was not signed out as being completed. The next dressing change due was 7/26/23 and a 9 was documented: a 9 meant other/see nurses notes. R14's July 2023 TAR showed his PICC line end cap was changed on 7/12/23 and was due to be changed on 7/19/23 but was not signed out as being completed. The next end cap change due was 7/26/23 and a 9 was documented: a 9 meant other/see nurses notes. The EMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record) Medication Administration Note dated 7/26/23 for R14 showed, Note Text: Change PICC line dressing weekly and PRN every day shift every Wednesday for PICC line care. Endorse to night shift. Report to oncoming nurse. The EMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record) Medication Administration Note dated 7/26/23 for R14 showed, Note Text: PICC Line Care: Change end caps (Valve microclave) weekly and prn every day shift every Wednesday for PICC line care. Endorse to night shift. Report to oncoming nurse. The Care Plan dated 7/10/23 for R14 showed, potential for infiltration and site infection related PICC line. Change IV (intravenous) cap per facility protocol or as needed. The plan did not show the frequency of when the PICC line dressing was to be changed. The facility's Central Venous Catheter Dressing Changes policy (4/7/23) showed, the purpose of this procedure is to prevent catheter-related infections that are associated with contaminated, soiled, or wet dressings. Dressings must stay clean, dry, and intact. Change transparent semi-permeable membrane (TSM) dressing at least every 5-7 days and PRN (when wet, soiled, or not intact. 6. R132's admission Record sheet shows he was admitted on [DATE]. The same document shows his diagnoses includes type 2 diabetes, depression, anxiety, recent right knee replacement, alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, hypertension, and repeated falls. R132's POS (Physician Order Sheet) shows daily weights for CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) was ordered on 7/30/23. The initial visit from V10 NP/APN (Nurse practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse) dated 8/2/23 shows R132 had +3 pitting edema on the right knee and lower leg and +1 edema on the left lower extremity. On 8/2/23 at 2:30 PM, R132 said, they do not weigh him every day. The Facility's Weights and Vitals Summary shows one weight for R132 on 7/29/23. R132's Care Plan does not list daily weights or CHF as a concern. On 8/03/23 at 11:02 AM, V12 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) said, she knows who to weigh because it will be on her CNA daily task sheet. V12 said, if the resident refuses, she'll try again later and if they still refuses, she'll get the nurse to talk with the resident. V12 said, she will put all weight on sheet and give to nurse. On 8/03/23 at 11:31 AM, V11 RN (Registered Nurse) said, she expects daily weights to be done as ordered by the Physician.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some computer and look to see if the resident had a weight gain. For residents with CHF a significant weight gain could mean an exacerbation (worsening) of CHF, with SOB (shortness of breath). V11 said, if there is a significant weight gain the Nurse should call Physician or NP who may want to order a diuretic or a chest x-ray. On 8/03/23 10:12 AM, V10 said, weights should be done as ordered, especially for CHF. V10 said, resident who have CHF with a significant weight gain could put a strain on their heart and could experience breathing difficulties. V10 said, nurses should contact her with any concerns if residents have significant weight gain. The Weight Assessment and Intervention Policy and Procedure (revised 9/2008) shows, it is the facility's policy to strive to .monitor . weight. 7. R137's admission Record sheet shows he was admitted on [DATE]. The same document shows his diagnoses includes drug induced retention of urine, chronic systolic congestive heart failure, hypertension, and a urinary tract infection. R137's POS (Physician Order Sheet) shows daily weights for CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) was ordered on 7/22/23. R137's Care Plan shows he may experience chest pain related to CHF, and the intervention is to do his vital signs as ordered. The Facility's Weights and Vitals Summary shows R137 was weighed on 7/24/23, and the next weight was on 7/29/23, skipping 4 days. No weights were documented for August 2023. On 8/1/23 at 2:45 PM, R137 refused to interview with this surveyor. 2. R24's admission Record, printed by the facility on 8/3/23, showed he had diagnoses including diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with diabetic autonomic polyneuropathy (damage to the nerves that control automatic body functions. It can affect blood pressure, temperature control, digestion, bladder function and sexual function) and diabetic amyotrophy (a rare condition in which patients develop severe aching or burning pain in hips and thighs), and chronic kidney disease stage 3. R24's care plan dated 6/24//23 showed R24 has a self-care deficit/impaired physical mobility/activities of daily living deficit related to weakness. R24's Order Summary Report, printed by the facility on 8/3/23, showed, check blood glucose before meals and at bedtime. The order was started on 6/23/23. The Order Summary Report also showed an order for Insulin Lispro inject 6 units with meals in addition to insulin Lispro per sliding scale (additional insulin given based on the resident's blood glucose level obtained before each meal and at bedtime). R24's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed he was cognitively intact. On 8/01/23 at 12:22 PM, V7 (Registered Nurse-RN) and V3 (LPN/Infection Control Preventionist) were standing by the medication cart, by the nurse's desk. V7 told V3 that she still needed to get R24's blood sugar level. V3 said, We should do that before he starts eating. V7 said R24 had already started eating.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 8/01/23 at 12:22 PM, R24 was in his room eating the lunch meal. V3 put the test strip in the glucometer (device for checking blood sugar levels) and seemed unfamiliar with the lancet used to obtain a blood sample, asking this surveyor if the diagram on the lancet made sense, and asking where the needle was. V3 said, Well, we will try it. At 12:23 PM, V3 poked R24's third digit on his left hand and got a drop of blood on his finger. V3 went to pull the test strip out of the glucometer and reinsert it so the device did not register an error, due to too much time elapsing. V3 dropped the test strip on the floor and went out of R24's room, down the hall to get another test strip from V7's medication cart. At 12:25 PM, V3 came back into R24's room. V3 used the blood that was already on R24's finger before she exited his room for another test strip. 3. R17's admission Record, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed he had diagnoses including type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure. R17's Order Summary Report, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed the following order: Check blood glucose before meals and at bedtime. R17's care plan initiated on 7/27/23 showed R17 had the potential for an alteration in his blood sugar levels. On 8/01/23 at 12:28 PM, V3 went into R17's room and informed him that she needed to check his blood sugar level. R17 was already eating his lunch meal. V3 placed the glucometer, alcohol wipes, and test strip on R17's bedside table. There was a white substance, which appeared to be salt or sugar on the bedside table. The test strip was sitting directly in the white substance. V3 used the test strip to check R17's blood sugar level. At 12:31 PM, V3 said she should not have set the test strip on the bedside table because there was a white substance on the table where she put the test strip. On 8/3/23 at 10:08 AM, V10 (Advanced Nurse Practitioner-ANP) said the residents' blood sugar levels should be checked before the residents eat their meals. V10 said, You would get an inaccurate reading. V10 said it is not the best practice to use a test strip that was placed in a white substance on the resident's bedside table. It could be contaminated. On 8/3/23 at 11:13 AM, V11 (Registered Nurse-RN) said the resident's blood sugar levels should be checked before the resident starts eating; that is the best way to control a resident's insulin level. V11 said she would have wiped the blood that was on the resident's finger off and used fresh blood to check the resident's glucose level. V11 said, You should not use a test strip that was sitting in a white substance on the resident's bedside table because it is contaminated and could affect the result. R17's Order Summary Report, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, also had an order for daily weights, every day shift for CHF (congested heart failure). The order was received on 7/26/23. R17's Weights and Vitals Summary, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed no weights were obtained on 7/30/23 and 7/31/23. R17's July 2023 Treatment Administration Record showed no weight on 7/31/23. 4. R4's admission Record, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed she had diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in the body tissues) and hypercapnia (elevated carbon dioxide levels).

R1's progress note dated 8/2/23 from V17 (NP) showed R1 had 1+ pedal edema. R1's care plan initiated 7/9/23 showed she has a potential risk for chest pain related to insufficient coronary blood flow, atrial fibrillation, congested heart failure and coronary artery disease. The care plan showed take vital signs as needed. The care plan did not address the order for daily weights. On 8/3/23 at 11:39 AM, V6 (Medical Records/CNA) said when the CNAs get the residents' weights, they document it on the sheet that is on the back of the computer screen at the nurse's desk. The nurse for that resident will document the weight in PCC (electronic medical record system) under the vitals tab. V6 said after the weight is entered into PCC, the sheet is put under the Director of Nursing's door.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a residents safety when the brakes on her wheelchair did not engage completely putting her at risk for falling for 1 of 2 residents (R87) reviewed for safety and supervision in the sample of 17. The findings include: On 8/1/23 at 9:33 AM, V6 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) went into R87's room to assist her to the bathroom. V6 asked if R87 wanted to use her walker or wheelchair. R87 stated the brakes on her wheelchair were not working right and don't keep the wheels on the chair locked. V6 went over to R87's brake on her wheelchair and engaged the brakes. R87's wheelchair continued to move. V6 stated the brakes were loose. R87 stated she told someone about the brakes on her wheelchair, the person wrote the information down, but nothing has been done about it. On 8/1/23 at 9:36 AM, the surveyor checked the brakes on R87's wheelchair and the left brake did not stop the left wheel from moving when the brake was engaged. On 8/1/23 at 9:46 AM, V6 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated R87's chair was not safe because she could fall and/or the wheelchair could slide out from under her. On 8/1/23 at 9:48 AM, R87 stated she gets up to her wheelchair but the wheelchair slides because the brakes don't work and she is afraid of falling. R87 stated she noticed it 3 days ago. R87 stated the ladies in therapy knew about it because they were putting 5-pound weights behind the wheels to keep the chair from moving. On 8/3/23 at 10:50 AM, V8 PTA (Physical Therapy Assistant) stated she didn't have R87 assigned to her for therapy. V8 stated V9 was a prn (as needed) PTA that was working with R87. V8 stated they check resident's equipment such as wheelchairs and walkers. On the wheelchairs we check the brakes and for loose parts. We check anything on equipment that the resident reports. If the brake isn't working properly the wheelchair could move when they try to stand and it's not safe. If it's a simple problem on a wheelchair we try to fix it and if we can't there is a form we can fill out and give to maintenance. The Face Sheet dated 8/2/23 for R87 showed medical diagnoses including unspecified fracture of right pubis, multiple fractures of ribs, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hyperlipidemia. The Occupational Therapy Treatment Encounter Note dated 8/2/23 for R87 showed partial/moderate assistance for bed mobility, sit to stand transfers, toilet transfers, and bathing. The Physiatry History and Physical Consult Evaluation dated 7/19/23 for R87 showed she was admitted to the facility for skilled nursing and rehabilitation secondary to deficits in mobility and ADLs. R87 tripped over a table in the dark at home. R87 sustained rib and pelvic fractures. The Care Plan dated 7/17/23 for R87 showed, R87 is at risk for falls related to impaired physical mobility due to weakness. R87's Care Plan showed she has a self-care deficit - impaired physical mobility/ADL (activities of daily living) deficit related to weakness. Maintain safety at all times.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide catheter care in a manner to prevent infection for 1 of 2 residents (R182) reviewed for catheters in the sample of 17. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R182's admission Record, printed by the facility on 8/3/23, showed he had diagnoses including retention of urine, profound intellectual disabilities, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate that can cause symptoms such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder). R182's Order Summary Report, printed by the facility on 8/3/23, showed an order for a Foley catheter size 16 fr (French)/10 ml (milliliter) balloon. R182's Order Summary Report (current) also showed orders to provide catheter care every shift and as needed. R182's care plan initiated on 7/26/23 showed he has a self-care deficit/impaired physical mobility/activities of daily living deficit related to weakness. R182's care plan initiated on 7/26/23 shows R182 is at risk for infection related to an indwelling catheter. One of the interventions listed on the care plan was Wash hands thoroughly before and after peri-care. On 8/03/23 at 8:48 AM, R182 was sitting on the side of his bed. V16 (Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA) went into R182's room to provide catheter care for R182. R182's wheelchair was next to his bed. There was a brown substance on the seat of the wheelchair. V16 said it was stool. The seat of R182's pants was also covered in stool. V16 removed R182's soiled clothes and cleaned the stool from R182's buttocks. V16 removed gloves and applied a new pair of gloves. V16 did not wash her hands. V16 started cleaning the tubing to R182's catheter. V16 used moist wipes to wipe along the catheter tubing, starting about four inches out in a continuous motion towards where the catheter tubing entered R182's penis. V16 then wiped the tip of R182's penis with the same section of wipe used to wipe the catheter tubing. At 8:58 AM, V16 emptied 900 cc (cubic centimeters) of tea-colored urine into the container.

F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's pain level was controlled. This resulted in the resident experiencing severe pain. This applies to 1 of 2 residents (R138) reviewed for pain in the sample of 17. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R138's admission Record sheet shows he was admitted on [DATE]. The same document shows his diagnoses includes right knee joint replacement surgery, depression, and anxiety. On 8/01/23 at 2:34 PM, R138 was in his room with the ice water pump attached to his right knee. R138 had periods of facial grimacing when he moved his leg. On 8/01/23 at 2:34 PM, R138 said, he just had a right knee replacement and he is in severe pain. R138 said, the only thing the nursing staff will give him is Acetaminophen. R138 rated his pain at an 8 during our interview. R138 said, he tells everyone he can, both the nurses and CNA's (Certified Nursing Assistants) that he is in pain. R138 said, he told the nursing staff he needed something stronger. On 8/02/23 at 8:30 AM, V13 Agency LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) asked R138 about his pain level and he said, it was at an 8 out of 10. R138 told V13 didn't want to take the Acetaminophen because R138 said they didn't work, however V13 encouraged him to take them anyway. R138 took the Acetaminophen. V13 did not discuss other options with R138 about pain relief. Tramadol and oxycodone were available. On 8/2/23 at 1:30 PM, V13 was not in the facility for an interview. On 8/02/23 at 10:00 AM, R138 said, V13 never came back to him to ask if the Acetaminophen was effective. R138 said it was not effective. R138 said, none of the nursing staff ask me if pain medication is effective, and they use letters like PRN and never explained what it means. R138 said he would ask the nursing staff if he could have a stronger pain pill and they all gave him different answers. R138 said staff didn't communicate very well. On 8/02/23 at 1:37 PM, V14 RN said, the nurse should assess the resident for pain and ask their pain level, then medicate the resident with ordered pain meds and then re-assess to see if pain level is improved. V14 said if the pain has not improved, the nurse can see if the resident has any other options, or the nurse can call the Physician to see if they want to order something stronger. On 8/03/23 10:12 AM, V10 NP said, it's her expectation that the nurse will assess the resident for pain, and medicate the resident with whatever is ordered on the MAR. V10 said the nurse should re-assess the resident to see if the medication decreased their pain. V10 said if the resident remains in pain after all the medication options the Physician or NP (Nurse Practitioner) should be contacted. A failure to properly assess pain could cause the resident to experience severe pain. The initial visit from V10 NP/APN (Nurse practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse) dated 8/3/23 shows R138 had is a total right knee replacement on 7/25/23. The same document shows a nurse contacted her on 8/2/23 in the evening about the residents pain. V10 documented that R138 feels he is confused as to what and when he can get pain medication.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an Licensed Practical Nurse did not provide IV (intravenous) care for residents, unless they were IV certified. This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R137) reviewed for competent nurse staffing in the sample of 17. The findings include: On 8/02/23 at 8:26 AM, V13 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) was in R137's room. V13 informed R137 that she needed to flush his IV line. V13 was observed flushing the PICC line (a long catheter that is inserted into a vein in the arm, leg or neck. The tip of the catheter is positioned in a large vein that carries blood into the heart) in R137's left arm. At 8:48 AM, V13 went back into R137's room because one of the Certified Nursing Assistants informed her that R137's IV machine was beeping. Upon entering the room, R137's IV machine was not beeping. An antibiotic (Vancomycin) was infusing into R137's left arm through the PICC line. On 8/2/23 at 4:10 PM, V1 (Administrator) said an LPN must be IV certified from the facility pharmacy or another reputable pharmacy in order to do IVs. On 8/3/23 before 8:45 AM, V1 was asked if V13 was IV certified and to provide any documentation the facility had to show proof of V13's IV certification. On 8/03/23 at 1:41 PM, V1 said V13 should not be providing IV care if she is not IV certified. V1 said HR (Human Resources) for the facility was trying to find out if V13 was certified to do IVs or not. When asked if the facility would ask for proof of IV certification before assigning an LPN to a resident with an IV. V1 said if there is an RN (Registered Nurse) working, the RN could tend to the IV for the LPN. This surveyor informed V1 that V13 was seen flushing the IV PICC line for R137. No documentation or verification of V13's IV certification was provided prior to exiting the facility on 8/3/23 at 3:50 PM. R137's Order Summary Report, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed an order for Vancomycin HCL (hydrochloride) Intravenous Solution 1500 mg (milligrams)/300 ml (milliliters). Use 1.25 grams intravenously in the morning for sepsis. Run at 250 ml an hour. R137's Medication Administration Record (MAR), printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed V13 as having administered the Vancomycin to R137 on 8/2/23. The MAR also showed V13 flushed R137's IV with 10 ml sodium chloride before and after administering the Vancomycin to R137 on 8/2/23.

The findings include: 1. On 8/1/23 at 9:50 AM, R12 was sitting up on the side of his bed with his tray table in front of him. R12 had a cup of medication on his tray table next to his untouched breakfast. V7 RN (Registered Nurse) was out in the hall and stated they are not supposed to leave medications at the bedside. V7 stated she left R12's door open to make sure R12 took his pills. V7 stated if she waited for R12 to take his medications she wouldn't get her medications passed. V7 then dispensed medications into a cup and went into another resident's room and shut the door. The Face Sheet dated 8/2/23 for R12 showed medical diagnoses including dysphagia, pneumonia, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, sepsis, vomiting, unspecified intestinal obstruction, opioid dependence, hypothyroidism, neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, hyperlipidemia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, muscle spasms of the back, dorsalgia, muscle weakness, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and need for assistance with personal care. The August 2023 MAR (Medication Administration Record) for R12 showed he received the following morning medications on 8/1/23: acidophilus 1 capsule, aspirin 81 mg, clopidogrel bisulfate 75 mg, coenzyme Q10 - 10 mg, Fibercon 625 mg, fish oil 1000 mg, furosemide 20 mg, magnesium oxide 400 mg, oxybutynin chloride 5 mg, zinc sulfate 220 mg, ascorbic acid 500 mg, amoxicillin-pot clavulanate 875-125 mg, Colace 100 mg, Entresto 24-26 mg, multiple vitamin -1 tablet, morphine sulfate ER 15 mg, and sucralfate 1 gm. The Orders Note dated 7/27/23 for R12 showed, Patient observed with difficulty swallowing medication at med pass. ST (speech therapy) to evaluate and treat as necessary. The Care Plan dated 7/24/23 for R12 showed R12 has a self-care deficit/impaired physical mobility/ activities of daily living deficit related to weakness. Always maintain safety. R12's care plan did not show a plan in place for the self-administration of medications.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm R81's Care Plan dated 7/26/23 did not show a plan in place for the self-administration of medications. Residents Affected - Few On 8/2/23 at 1:15 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nurses) stated, the facility does allow residents to self-medicate if it is physician approved. They would then get an order stating the resident could self-administer the eye drop or nebulizer treatment. The resident would be care planned for the self-administration of medications. V2 stated the resident must be alert, oriented and observed to see if they could do it. V2 stated there isn't an assessment form but the resident would have a progress note. The nurse would document about the observation. V2 stated they very rarely have residents self-administer medications other than nebulizer treatments. Nurses are not to leave medication at bedside and that is for safety. Another resident may go into the room that is confused and take the medication. V2 stated they don't leave medications at bedside and the nurse needs to watch the resident take the medication. On 8/2/23 at 1:20 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, the nurses are not to walk away from medication. The nurse needs to be able to verify that the resident has taken the medication. They can't leave their side until the resident has taken the medication. The nurse must be able to see them. It is the only way to make sure they take the medication. The facility's Administering Medications policy (4/7/23) showed, Medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame. Medications are administered within 1 hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for example, before and after meal orders). The individual administering medications verifies the resident's identity before giving the resident his/her medications. The individual administering the medication checks the label THREE (3) times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication. Residents may only self-administer their own medications only if the attending physician, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary care planning team, has determined they have the decision-making capacity to do so safely. 3. R137's admission Record, printed by the facility on 8/2/23, showed he had diagnoses including UTI (urinary tract infection), MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection), and bacteremia (bacteria in the blood), and sepsis.

V13 closed the door to R137's room, walked to the medication cart, then walked down the hall and around the corner, towards another hall. V13 walked back to the medication cart, prepared medications for another resident in a different room, then went in to administer the medications to the other resident. At 8:48 AM, V13 went back into R137's room because one of the CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) informed her that R137's IV machine was beeping. The medication cup on R137's bedside table had 9 pills in the cup. When this surveyor asked R137 about the medications in the cup, V13 asked R137 if she could take the pills in the cup. R137 said no, he will take them later. At 8:56 AM, V13 said medications should not be left at the resident's bedside.
