F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. 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 assess a resident for the ability to safely self-administer medications which affected R11 and has the potential to affect all 16 residents residing on the 8th floor. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: On 2/27/22 at 11:25 am, R11 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in R11's room. This surveyor and V6 (Care Partner/Certified Nursing Assistant, CNA) entered R11's room and observed a clear, medication cup (30 milliliters) on the rolling bed side table with 6 pills in it (5 white capsules and one small white round pill). V6 confirmed the 6 pills at R11's bedside. V6 stated, Sometimes (R11) takes them (medications) all together. But I (V6) am not in charge of it. This surveyor asked V6 to retrieve V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) to come to R11's room. When asked V4 about R11's medications at bedside, V4 stated that V4 doesn't know which medications the 6 pills are while V4 confirmed the pill count (6) with this surveyor. V4 stated that the 6 pills are from the previous night shift nurse, but V4 is not for sure. V4 then exited the room with R11's cup of 6 pills. V6 stated, I (V6) saw (R11) who takes it by (R11's) self. V6 stated, V6 started the day shift today and saw the medications in the cup at R11's bedside at 7:00 am (2/27/23) when V6 did rounds while R11 was in the bathroom. On 2/27/23 at approximately 11:30 am, R11 stated that the night nurse will put the medications down on the table, and R11 take them. R11 stated that the nurse doesn't stay to see R11 take R11's medications in the early morning. R11 stated, I probably fell asleep and forgot them. R11's Face Sheet (Detailed Summary) documents, in part, R11's diagnoses of vascular dementia, idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy, hyperlipidemia, low back pain, hypothyroidism, essential hypertension, gout and lack of coordination. R11's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents, in part, that R11's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score is 9 indicating that R11 has moderate cognitive impairment. On 3/1/23 at 1:27 pm, when asked the protocol of nurses administering medications to residents, V2 (Director of Nursing, DON) stated that the nurse will verify the 7 rights by looking at MAR (Medication Administration Record) for direction and doctor's orders. V2 stated that once the nurse has completed the checking of all the rights, the nurse will perform hand hygiene and distribute medications according to time that is on the MAR. V2 stated that the nurse will make sure to help them (residents) take their medications. When asked if a resident does not want to take the medications when the nurse brings the pills into the resident's room, what should the nurse do? V2 stated, Take the medication out of the room is the safe practice. So, it's not accessible to another resident. V2 stated (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.

Residents Affected - Few Facility policy titled Pressure Ulcer/Injuries Overview and dated October 2022, documents, in part, Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to provide information regarding definitions and clinical features of pressure injuries. MDS assessments reference current definition in the Resident Assessment Instrument User's Manual. Pressure Ulcer/Injury refers to localized damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to medical and other device. Pressure ulcers/injuries occur as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear, Friction/shearing: 'Friction' is the mechanical force exerted on skin that is dragged across any surface. 'Shearing' occurs when layers of skin rub against each other or when the skin remains stationary and the underlying tissue moves and stretches and angulates or tears the underlying capillaries and blood vessels causing tissue damage.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy of monitoring the temperature of the refrigerator used for storing vaccine twice daily and failed to ensure the refrigerator temperature log sheet has no missing entries. These failures have the potential to affect all the 17 residents on the 8th floor. The (02/27/2023) resident census on the 8th floor was 17. On 02/28/23 at 10:49 am, the Refrigerator Temperature Log Sheet inside the medication storage room had missing entries on the Temperature and Nurse's initial columns.

V4 opened the refrigerator, showed the content of the refrigerator, and stated, We have controlled medications, house stock flu vaccine and PPD (PPD stands for purified protein derivative The PPD skin test is a method used to diagnose silent (latent) tuberculosis infection) for TB testing). This surveyor inquired how many times the refrigerator was checked daily. V4 stated, We check the temperature once daily only. On 03/01/2023 at 10:30am, surveyor inquired about the purpose of checking the temperature of the refrigerator inside the medication storage room. V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, Purpose of checking the temperature is to make sure the refrigerator meets the required temperature. Night shift should monitor it once a day. The reason we want to keep the medications in the fridge is to maintain the efficacy of the medications. That is why we wanted the refrigerator temperature monitored. The (02/2023) Medications Only Refrigerator Temperature Log Sheet had missing entries on days 12, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27. Of note, the Refrigerator Temperature Log Sheet had one column for 'Day', one column for 'Temperature' and one column for 'Nurse's Initial'. The (3/19) Storage of Medications documented, in part Policy. Medications and biologicals are stored safely, securely, and properly, following manufacturer's recommendations or those of the supplier. The medication supply is accessible only to licensed nursing personnel, pharmacy personnel, or staff members lawfully authorized to administer medications. Temperature. C. Medications requiring refrigeration are kept in refrigerator at temperature between 2C (36F) and 8C (46F) with a thermometer to allow temperature monitoring. E. The facility should maintain a temperature log in the storage area to record temperatures at least once a day. F. The Facility should check the refrigerator or freezer in which vaccines are stored, at least two times a day, per CDC Guidelines.
