Resident 94's "Physician Orders" dated
October 2019, indicated Resident 94 had an
order for "Plavix 75 mg tablet" (antiplatelet
medication) daily for atherosclerotic heart
disease and the medication was ordered by the
physician on January 17, 2019 and there was
no order for anticoagulant medication.

November 20, 2019 at 1:30 PM, of Resident
75's "Medication Administration Record" (MAR)
dated October 2019, and the quarterly MDS
dated October 28, 2019, with the Minimum
Data Set Nurse (MDS 1) was conducted on
November 20, 2019. MDS 1 reviewed the
document and stated she had coded the Plavix
medication as an anticoagulant, as she was not
aware that Plavix was not an anticoagulant.
During a concurrent interview and record
review on November 20, 2019 at 1:35 PM, of
"CMS's [Center for Medicare and Medicaid]
RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) Version
3.0 Manual" dated October 2017, with MDS 1,
it indicated "Anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin,
heparin, or low- molecular weight heparin):

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure 3 out of 22
sampled residents (resident's 35, 250, and 21)
facility's policies and procedures were followed
when:
1. For Resident 35, doctor's order for a Dilantin
level was not done and the doctor was not
notified on a timely manner.
This failure had the potential to jeopardize the
health and safety of Resident 35.
2. For Resident 250, the facility failed to weigh
resident weekly for one month after admission
to determine a trend in weight.
This failure had the potential to result in
untreated weight loss or gain which could
cause significant medical complications and
death.
3. For Resident 21, the consultant pharmacist's
medication regimen review was not carried out
by staff in a timely manner.
This failure had the potential for Resident 21's
not to get the full benefits of the medication.

the nurses do not ask his pain level after giving
his pain medication. He states his pain isn't

During a concurrent interview and record
review of the MAR and nurses progress notes
with the Director of Staff Development (DSD)
on November 22, 2019 at 9:47 AM, the DSD
stated that Licensed staff should check for
effectiveness of pain medication 30 minutes
after it has been given and the pain level
should be assessed every shift. They should be
documenting the pain level in the MAR. If they
can't enter the pain level right away, then they
can stop the original order for pain level and
put in a new order. "We expect the problem to
be dealt with immediately. Pain levels are
important. We want to make sure patients are
comfortable and pain can increase blood
pressure and cause other medical dilemmas.
Maybe patient can go into cardiac arrest
(Absence of pulse, blood pressure and
respirations). There should have been a pain
level despite note saying medication effective. "
During a review of the MAR notes for
November 2019, there was no documentation
to show effectiveness of the pain medication
(Norco). The MAR for November 2019 showed
that Resident 77's pain level was asessed, but
there was no documentation of what the pain
level was each shift. As well as, prior to and
following the administration of the Norco.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on November 22, 2019, at 10:33 AM,
the DON stated. "If [the nurses] were not able
to put the pain level in MAR, then they should
put it in the nurses' progress note. We assess
residents pain every shift. The DON stated
Pain level should be documented somewhere
and there should be a pre and post pain level

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to follow their policy
and procedure for home medication brought to
the facility upon admission by leaving the home
medications at the bedside for one of eight
residents (Resident 297).
This failure had the potential to result in over
dose of blood pressure medications (lower the
blood pressure) and diuretic medication
(increase production of urine and lower the
blood pressure) and would have caused
hypotension, dehydration (loss of body fluids),
cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) and
even death.

stated the red sanitization bucket with a
sanitizer solution (a sanitizer solution used to
sanitize the food contact areas such as counter
tops) would be changed every 2 hours and
further stated solution would be changed every
5 hours and as needed. DA 1 further
demonstrated the strength of sanitization
bucket solution by checking the solution. DA 1
collected the sanitization solution in the bucket
and was observed testing the water mixed
solution with a quaternary ammonia test strip (a
test strip used to check the concentration of a
quaternary ammonia solution) and the test strip
result indicated 100 ppm (parts per million-unit
of measurement). DA 1 stated after dipping the
test strip in to the solution would wait for a
minute and compare the results with the test
strip indicator.
2. During an observation on November 18,
