albuterol inhaler as needed. V4 and surveyor inspected medication cart. Albuterol inhaler was not found or

hard time breathing and R1 stated she is okay right now. R1 stated she has been taking Symbicort twice a

Residents Affected - Few
R1 POS (physician order sheet) showed Albuterol-Budesonide aerosol 2 inhalation inhale orally every 6
hours as needed for COPD. Order dated 4/5/24.
MDS (minimum data set) dated 4/12/2024 showed R1's cognition was intact.
At 12:54pm Medication observation conducted with V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse / LPN). Observed V5
check R5's blood sugar and showed 255. V5 prepared Humulin R 4 units and administered subcutaneously
to R5's left lower abdomen.
R5's MAR documented: Humulin R Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML Inject as per sliding scale. Scheduled at
9am 11am and 4pm.
At 2:28pm V2 (Director of Nursing / DON) said V2 has been working in the facility since March 2024. V2
said nurses are expected to give or administered medications as prescribed by the doctor. Nurses are
expected to follow the 5 R's (Right resident, right medication, right dose, right route, and right time) in giving
meds. If medication is ordered or scheduled at 11am, it should be given at 10am and not later than 12
noon. If medication was given past 12 noon, it is considered a medication error because it was not given on
a prescribed time. V2 said resident could have an adverse reaction especially if medication is given multiple
times a day, medication could be administered too close to the next scheduled time and could potentially
have an adverse reaction to the resident. V2 said PRN (as needed) medication should always be available
in the medication cart because the resident could need the medication at any time and should be given as
ordered. If PRN medication is not available, the medication could be missed by resident if they need it. V2
said PRN Inhaler medication for COPD should always be available so if resident needs, it could be given
right away as ordered otherwise resident may have respiratory issue if they are not able to get the
medication they need.

Medication administration policy dated 3/2024 documented in part: To ensure that the administration of
medications is performed in a safe manner to prevent medication errors. Medications are administered
according to state and federal law. Medication preparation / administration: Five rights - right medication,
right dose, right time (60 minute before and after the scheduled time unless otherwise specified), right
route, right resident.
