This applies to 3 of 3 residents (R3, R4, and R5) reviewed for improper nursing care in delay in medication administration in the sample of 5. The findings include: 1. On September 27, 2023, at 10:51 AM, R3 was lying in bed in her room. R3 said she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], around 3:00 PM. R3 said she receives a medication for her restless leg syndrome every night (Pramipexole Dihydrochloride) two different eye drop medications for her glaucoma (Latanoprost and Timolol Maleate), and medication for her depression (Bupropion). R3 said, The medications were not here in the facility the first night I got here, so I did not receive them. I was most worried about the medication I take for my restless leg syndrome because it is so bad that when I don't take the medication, my arms start to shake as well. I did not get the medications that first night because the nurse said they did not get them from the pharmacy in time to give them to me. The EMR (Electronic Medical Record) shows R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R3 has multiple diagnoses including, orthopedic aftercare, lumbar region spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication, post-hemorrhagic anemia, diabetes, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, mild asthma, major depressive disorder, and presence of a cardiac pacemaker. R3's MDS was not completed at the time of this investigation due to her recent admission to the facility. Nursing documentation dated September 21, 2023, shows R3 requires limited assistance by one facility staff member with all ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), including toilet use assistance. R3 has urinary incontinence related to her chronic lumbar spine issues. The EMR shows the following documentation by V14 (RN-Registered Nurse) dated September 21, 2022, related to R3's physician-ordered medications: 6:22 PM - Pramipexole Dihydrochloride oral tablet 0.75 mg.

F 0755 1:33 AM. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On September 28, 2023, at 9:53 AM, V12 (Pharmacist) said, I looked into the order entry from our end (pharmacy). The order for [R4's] Amoxicillin was put in correctly, as shown on the hospital orders, to start on the evening of June 6, 2023. From our internal audit, it looks like when the nurse at the facility went into the system to approve the order, the administration time got changed on her end and defaulted to start the medication the next day instead of on June 7, 2023, at 9:00 PM. Residents Affected - Few On September 27, 2023, at 2:58 PM, V13 (RN) said R4 did not receive her evening medications, including her Amoxicillin on the night of her admission because the medications were not available in the facility. V13 said, The remote entry person at the pharmacy entered all the medication orders into the system before the resident got to the facility. The orders get put in a queue and then the nurses go in and check the orders and approve the medication orders to be profiled in the system. Since I looked in the STAT safe here at the facility for [R4's] Amoxicillin and it wasn't there, then I thought we would start it the next day (June 7, 2023). I did not call the physician to see if that was okay to do. I was not assigned to this resident and was just helping out the other nurse. On September 27, 2023, at 10:37 AM, V17 (Attending Physician) said, It is my expectation the facility follows the hospital discharge instructions, and also obtains the resident's medications from the pharmacy so the residents do not have to miss any doses of their medications. The facility should let me know if the resident's medications are not available and do everything possible to get the medications. 3. The EMR shows R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including, right pubis fracture, hypoxemia, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. R5's MDS was not completed at the time of this investigation. The EMR shows the following documentation by V16 (RN) dated September 22, 2023, related to R5's physician-ordered medications: 7:39 PM - Jardiance Oral Tablet 10 mg. Give 1 tablet by mouth in the evening for diabetes related to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with unspecified complications with dinner - medication is not available. 8:00 PM - Metoprolol Tartrate oral tablet 25 mg. Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for hypertension medication is not available. 8:00 PM - Cephalexin Oral Capsule 500 mg. Give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day for UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) for 5 days - medication is not available. 8:01 PM - Atorvastatin Calcium oral tablet 20 mg. Give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for hyperlipidemia medication is not available. The facility does not have documentation to show R5's physician was notified the medications were not available and the resident missed the medications, and the facility does not have documentation to show the pharmacy service was contacted to obtain a stat delivery of R5's medications. The pharmacy delivery manifest shows R5's medications were delivered to the facility on September (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 146155 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 4 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 146155 B.
