**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy to assess for
self-administration of albuterol medication. This failure effected 2 residents (R58 and R79) out of 4 residents
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reviewed for self-administering medications in a total
sample of 21 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Finding Include:
1.)
R58's Face Sheet documents resident is a [AGE] year-old with diagnoses including but not limited to:
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified, multiple
sites, emphysema, unspecified, hypertensive heart disease without heart failure, cerebral infarction,
unspecified.
Care plan (dated 12/13/2023) documents that R58 has a diagnosis of COPD and exhibits the following
symptoms, easily fatigued, periods of confusion due to oxygenation, anxiety and requires medication,
oxygenation, shortness of breath placing resident at risk for death.
R58's Physician Order (dated 12/12/2023) states: albuterol sulfate HFA aerosol inhaler; 90 mcg/actuation;
amt: 2 puffs; inhalation; Special Instructions: For SOB (shortness of breath)/wheezing. Every 6 hours-PRN
(as needed)
Minimum Data Set (MDS) section C (dated 09/17/2024) documents that R58 has a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating that R58's cognition is intact.
On 12/9/24 at 11:33AM, R58 stated, I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and I don't
have my rescue inhaler at my bedside. The nurses have my albuterol inhaler in the nursing cart. I asked
different nurses on several occasions if I can keep the rescue inhaler at bedside in case I need it, and they
all said no. I was never assessed by a nurse for self-administration of the rescue inhaler. The nurses just
told me that I am not allowed to have it at my bedside and that's all, but they never did an evaluation of
self-administration of the inhaler.
On 12/9/2024, at 2:35 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated, R58 never expressed to me that he
wanted his rescue albuterol at the bedside. The nursing staff never informed me. R58 needs to be
evaluated by the nurse to see if he is capable of proper self-administration. Once the assessment shows
that R58 is capable of proper self-administration, the nurse has to call the physician to get an order to keep
the medication at bedside. It is important to note that the resident has to not only

R79's Face Sheet documents resident is a [AGE] year-old with diagnoses including but not limited to:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified, major depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified,
hypertensive heart disease without heart failure, hyperlipidemia, unspecified, gastro-esophageal reflux
disease without esophagitis.
Care plan (dated 10/23/2024) documents that R79 has a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) and exhibits the following symptoms; easily fatigued, periods of confusion due to low
oxygenation, anxiety and requires medication, oxygenation, shortness of breath placing resident at risk for
death.
Minimum Data Set (MDS) section C (dated 10/29/2024) documents that R79 has a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating that R79's cognition is intact.
On 12/09/2024 at 11:42AM, R79 stated, I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and if I have
an exacerbation of shortness of breath, I should have my rescue albuterol inhaler at bedside. I don't have
the rescue inhaler because when I asked several different nurses if I can keep it with me, the nurses said
that they are not allowed to leave any medications at bedside. If I have an exacerbation, by the time I call
for assistance and by the time the nurse responds, I will be in trouble and that's why I should have my
albuterol inhaler with me. I have told many different nurses at different times about wanting to keep my
rescue inhaler and I was never assessed for self-administration of the inhaler. Nobody assessed me for
proper self-administration, they just told me that I cannot have it.
On 12/09/2024, at 11:52AM, surveyor performed an inspection of the nursing medication cart which
contained the medications for R58 and R79. V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse) was present at the time that the
surveyor inspected the medication cart. Surveyor observed that R58 and R79's albuterol sulfate HFA
aerosol inhaler was being stored inside the nursing medication cart.
On 12/9/24 at 2:43PM, V2 (DON) stated, R79 has COPD. To my knowledge, R79 did not request to have
his rescue albuterol inhaler at bedside. We need to assess R79 for proper self-administration of the
albuterol inhaler. Based on the outcome of the assessment, if R79 is able to self-administer the albuterol
medication properly, then we have to call the doctor and get the order allowing the resident to have the
medication at bedside. Medications are not left at bedside for safety purposes. If a resident wishes to keep
the medication at bedside, the resident must be assessed, and the medication must be stored somewhere
outside of the reach of other residents. R79 never mentioned to me that he wanted the rescue albuterol for
his COPD at bedside. R79 is alert and oriented x3. At this time, I cannot think of any reason that would
prevent R79 from self-administering the medication in a safe manner.
R79's Physician Order (dated 10/23/2024) states: albuterol sulfate HFA aerosol inhaler; 90 mcg/actuation;
amt: 2 puffs; inhalation: Every 6 Hours - PRN (as needed).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a call light was within reach
of one resident (R32) reviewed for the call light system.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
12/9/24 at 12:00 PM, observed R32's bed and call light placement. R32's bed was placed along one wall
lengthwise. R32's call light was placed on the adjacent wall of the bed on the other side of the closet that
was at the foot of the bed in the corner of the two walls. Surveyor asked R32 if R32 could reach the call
light. R32 said I have to get up to get it. V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) joined surveyor in R32's room. V2
stated there is no way for R32 to reach the call light.
12/9/24 at 3:00 PM, V2 (DON) stated the purpose of call lights is to alert the staff that the resident needs
help. The resident pulls the cord to activate the call light. The cord needs to be in the resident's reach. If
R32 were in bed R32 could not reach the call light to alert staff that R32 needs help. R32 can call out if she
needs help.
12/11/24 at 2:25 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated I expect the call lights to be within reach and the resident to
be able to use them. When a staff person goes into the rooms, they should check the call light is within
reach and functioning.
Facility policy Answering the Call Light, August 2008, documents in part: 5. When the resident is in bed or
confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, facility failed to administer medications timely and failed to follow
the facility's medication administration policy for 7 residents (R13, R48, R62, R64, R71, R90, R98) out of 7
residents reviewed for medication administration in a sample of 21 residents.
Findings Include:
On 12/09/2024 at 10:11AM V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) was observed during medication
administration. V5 had 7 residents (R13, R48, R62, R64, R71, R90, R98) that did not receive their
scheduled 9:00AM medications. V5 stated, On a regular day, when I work a shift, I am usually done passing
medications to all by residents by 10:15 AM. I try my best to finish my morning medication administration on
time, but I work with many different residents who ask for things in a specific way. I always try to do my best
to accommodate every resident's request and it takes more time to finish my medication administration by
10:00 AM. I keep my residents happy and accommodate their needs and that's why I can't finish the
morning medication on time. Some residents want to talk to me and share things with me when I go in to
administer their morning medications and I don't want to rush the residents and that is another reason why I
am not done on time.
On 12/10/2024 at 8:55 AM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) stated, The medications that are scheduled
at 9:00 AM, the nurse can give the medications starting at 8:00 AM, which is one hour before the scheduled
time, and the nurse can give the medications up to 10:00 AM, which is one hour after the scheduled time.
Anything that is administer past the 1-hour window of the scheduled time is considered late. If a nurse still
has medications to pass after 10:00 AM, the nurse must go to the resident and explain why the medication
is late. If a nurse needs help with the medication administration, they can call the director of nursing or
myself (assistant director of nursing) for assistance. The physician must be notified when a resident is given
medications past the regular window of 1 hour before/after the medication is scheduled.

On 12/09/2024, at 3:02 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, When the nurses open the insulin, they have to
label the insulin with the date it is opened, and they must label the insulin with the date that it expires.
Lantus insulin is good for 28 days. I like to read the manufacturer's instruction. If the manufacturer
instruction says to discard after 30 days, then the insulin is labeled accordingly. Insulin in general is either
good for 28 days or 30 days and must be discarded after the date it expired.
On 12/10/2024, at 11:55 AM, V2 stated, Different nurses and the manager on duty are the ones who I
delegate to clean the medication storage room, and to remove any access supplies that are not in use.
Also, the nurses go through the medication storage room so that they can let me know if they need any
supplies. My expectation is that the nurses who complete the inventory in the medication room will go
through the supplies to ensure that the supplies are not expired. All the supplies in general, including the
tubing, catheters, syringes, normal saline flushes, and all other supplies are not expired and that all the
supplies in the medication storage room are current. When the nurses perform the inventory at the end of
the month and as needed, they must remove any remove any supplies that are expired, and they must turn
the expired supplies to the nursing office. The nursing carts are cleaned monthly and as needed. When the
nurses clean the medication carts, they are expected to go through the entire nursing cart and make sure
that medications and supplies are not expired. When the nurses find expired medication or supplies, they
must remove the expired items from the medication
