Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident receiving a transdermal
medication patch, only had one medication patch in place during transdermal medication administration.
This failure affects one of three residents (R1) reviewed for transdermal medication use on the sample list
of six.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R1's face sheet (8/1/23) documents R1's diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease, Dementia, Anxiety
Disorder, and Adult Failure to Thrive.
R1's current Physician Order Sheet (POS) documents R1's orders including Exelon (Rivastigmine)
(reversible cholinesterase inhibitor) transdermal patch 24-hour 4.6 milligram (mg), apply one patch
transdermal at a time related to Dementia.
On 8/1/23 at 10:58 AM, V5 (R1's husband) was wheeling R1 back to her room. V5 stated he had concerns
with R1's Exelon transdermal patch. V5 stated on 7/2/23 and 7/26/23, R1 had two of the Exelon
transdermal patches on her. V5 stated R1 is supposed to have only one patch on her at a time.
On 8/1/23 at 3:36 PM, V11 (LPN- Licensed Practical Nurse) stated on 7/2/23, V11 took an Exelon
transdermal patch off R1's back before applying a new patch on the other side of R1's back. V11 stated
later that day, V5, R1's husband showed V11 that R1 had another patch on R1's arm and R1 had two
patches on R1's body. V11 stated she did not see the second patch prior to V5 showing her the patch on
R1's arm. V11 stated it did not occur to her to check if R1 had more patches on R1.
On 8/1/23 at 4:02 PM, V12 (Agency LPN) stated on 7/26/23, V12 took an Exelon transdermal patch off R1
prior to applying a new patch. V12 stated V12 placed the new patch on R1's right chest. V12 stated V4, R1's
daughter showed V12 that R1 had another patch to R1's right back, later after V12 had already removed a
patch prior to placing a new patch. R1 had two Exelon transdermal patches on at the same time.
On 8/2/23 at 9:37 AM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) stated R1 had two Exelon transdermal patches on her
on two separate days: on 7/2/23 and 7/26/23. V2 stated R1's family informed V11 and V12 of the multiple
patches. V2 also stated there should only be one Exelon patch on R1 per physician order because it can
lead to adverse effects of the medication.
On 8/2/23 at 9:13 AM, V13 (Pharmacist) stated R1 should have one patch on at a time. V13 stated the
downside to having two patches on is that there could be augmentation of the adverse effects of the
medication; some of the adverse effects includes increased tremors, increased sedation, upset
