§483.10(c)(7) The right to self-administer
medications if the interdisciplinary team, as
defined by §483.21(b)(2)(ii), has determined
that this practice is clinically appropriate.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure their policy
and procedure for self-administration of
medications were followed, when one of 29
sampled residents (Resident 21) was found

was ingested accidentally.
Findings:
During an observation of Resident 21 on June
4, 2018, at 10:11 AM, Resident 21 was in the
rest room. A jar of [Menthol Rub] over the
counter medication (OTC) was observed on

During an interview with Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 2) on June 4, 2018, at 10:18 AM,
LVN 2 verified the [Menthol Rub] was not
allowed to be at residents bed sides. LVN 2
stated, the facility's process for residents to self
- administer medication, was to have a Medical
Doctor's (MD) order, an assessment for mental
capacity, a care plan, and a nurse had to
educate the resident on the administering the
medication. LVN 2 confirmed the findings and
stated, "We have no orders for Resident 21 to
self-administer any medication." LVN 2 also
verified not being aware that Resident 21 had
the OTC jar of [Menthol Rub] at her bed side.
During an interview with Resident 21 on June
4, 2018, at 10:22 AM, through an interpreter
that spoke Spanish, Resident 21 stated her
family brought in the OTC jar of [Menthol Rub]
and she would put it on her chest at night
because her chest would get cold.
A clinical record review for Resident 21's
Physician Orders dated, May 31, 2018,
indicated no order for [Menthol Rub].
A review of Minimum Data Set (MDS-is a

55 further stated, "I am not comfortable talking
to her [Administrator] anymore. I am thinking
what she [Administrator] told me to read the
bible and practice what I am reading. She
[Administrator] is very tough in saying that.
That is why if I feel that when she
[Administrator] is walking in the hallway and I
am in my wheelchair I just turn my back and
pretend to watch television and wishing that
she will not come to my room. She
[Administrator] is very firm and told me, "If I
would have been here years ago, I will kick you
out."

When LVN 7 was about to leave the room,
Resident 203 asked her," Wait, what about her
pain medication? (referring to Resident 59),"
LVN 7 ignored Resident 203, and left the room.
Resident 59 used her call button again to ask
for her pain medication from LVN 7.
During a concurrent interview with Resident
203, she stated LVN 7 has not returned yet to
give her pain medication for an unknown
amount of time. Resident 203 yelled to LVN 7
to come to their room. LVN 7 returned to their
room and yelled at Resident 59, and stated, "If
you don't shut your mouth up, I will not give
your pain medication!" Resident 59 got upset
with LVN 7 and told her she was not the one
who yelled but her but Resident 203 did.
Resident 203 stated, "She [LVN 7] then yelled
and was nasty at me," and said "Shut your
mouth! You are not the only resident here!"
Resident 203 further stated that LVN 7 gave
the medication to her but not to Resident 59.
Resident 59 added, that LVN 7 never returned
to their room. Resident 59 used her cell phone
to call the nursing station to ask the help of
another charge nurse to give her pain
medication. Resident 59 stated that asked for
her routine pain medication from LVN 7.
Resident 59 stated LVN 7 knew she had a
scheduled pain medication by 4:00 PM.
Resident 59 was already in pain so she asked
for it earlier at 3:00 AM. Resident 59 got it only
by 5:30 AM by a different charge nurse.
Resident 59 and Resident 203 stated they
reported the incident to the Licensed
Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6) in the morning of
May 25, 2018. Resident 59 and Resident 203
stated they were both worried LVN 7 will still
yell at them since LVN 7 was still on schedule
at work and assigned to them.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, and record review, the
facility failed to ensure physician's order has
been followed for two (2) of 29 sampled
residents (Resident 18 and Resident 25) when:
1. Resident 18's physician order for Keppra (for

not done;
2. Resident 25's physician order for HgbA1C
(Glycosylated Hemoglobin- blood sugar test)
level every three (3) month was not done.
These failures had the potential for the
residents to have inaccurate assessment, care,

1. Four (4) empty tanks of oxygen found inside
Resident 45's room; and
2. Fall risk assessment was not completed and
when bed alarm system can be manipulated by
Resident 20.

room, on June 4, 2018, at 9:30 AM, Resident
45 was lying in bed, sleeping, with oxygen
tubing on the nose attached to the oxygen
concentrator (to supply an oxygen). On the foot

unsecured and closes the Resident 45's
wheelchair and restroom door.
A review of Resident 45's medical record, on
June 4, 2018, at 9:40 AM, indicated Resident
45 was admitted to the facility on February 25,
2018, with diagnoses of hypertension
(increased blood pressure), acute respiratory
infection, and cirrhosis (liver disease)
secondary to ETOH (Ethanol- refers to a
person's history of over consumption of
alcoholic beverages). The resident has the
capacity to understand and make decisions.

administrator who is(i) Licensed by the State, where licensing is
required;
(ii) Responsible for management of the facility;
and

facility Administrator, manage and effectively
govern for 88 residents' by safe guarding them
by ensuring the facility's policy and procedure

Further interviews with Resident 55, Resident
59, and Resident 203, the DON and the
Administrator as well as record reviews all
completed on June 4, 2018, verified the facility
did not follow their Abuse policy and procedure
for reporting and fully investigating all alleged
allegations of abuse.
During an interview with the Regional Director
(RD 1) on June 7, 2018, at 5:30 PM, RD 1
stated the corporate office had to terminate the
Administrator because not only was she
allegedly accused of verbal abuse by Resident
59, but the Administrator failed to follow the
facility's policy and procedure of abuse. RD 1
stated the corporate office had been evaluating
the Administrator for not effectively performing
her job. RD 1 verified the Administrator was
overly controlling to staff and they did not have
a very trusting relationship. RD 1 verified she
would visit the facility and was not happy with
the way the Administrator was handling her job.
RD 1 when asked if she felt the Administration
was very effective, RD 1 stated,"We have a lot
of work to do." RD 1 stated," The Administrator
did not keep us informed of what was
happening in the facility, I had to visit the
facility to find out."
The facility Governing Body failed to ensure
that the appointed Administration implemented
the approved facility policies for abuse
prevention. The facility also failed to ensure
that all allegations of abuse were investigated,
reported to the appropriate state agency. This
failure resulted in multiple residents' of the
facility to experience feelings of fear do to
numerous verbal abusive actions towards by
staff and reports of abuse to go uninvestigated.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure infection
control practices were followed as evidenced
by:
1. Resident 31's oxygen (chemical element)
tubing and concentrator (device that supplies a
continuous flow of oxygen through a tube) was
found to have no label with date, time and
initials of the staff who changed it last .
2 Alcohol based gel solution were not properly
used during dining hours.
These failures had the potential to cause
infection and the spread of diseases to all
residents in a universe of 88 residents.
Findings:
1. During a observation of the facility on June
4, 2018, at 10:19 AM, Resident 31 was
observed lying in bed, half side rails up, call
light within reach. Resident 31 was observed
receiving oxygen at two (2) Liters (L-unit of
measure) through a nasal cannula (N/C-a
device that delivers oxygen through a tubing
into the nose) via a concentrator unlabeled.
Resident 31 is Spanish speaking only.
