Based on staff interview, record review, website review, and document review, the facility failed to
administer parenteral fluids per professional standards when they allowed a company who was not licensed
in Ohio by the State Pharmacy Board to administer dangerous Intravenous (IV) fluid medications to
residents. This affected three (Residents #42, #43, and #46) of three reviewed for pharmacy services. The
facility identified 36 (Residents #9, #10, #11, #15, #18, #20, #21, #23, #25, #26, #27, #28, #33, #34, #39,
#41, #42, #43, #46, #48, #51, #52, #53, #59, #60, #61, #62, #63, #64, #65, #66, #67, #68, #69, #70, #71 )
who received IV fluids through the company. The facility census was 56.
Findings include:
1. Record review of Resident #42 revealed an admission date of 06/13/22 with pertinent diagnoses of
congestive heart failure, chronic pain syndrome, type one diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy,
xerosis cutis, chronic venous hypertension, localized edema, mild intellectual disabilities, anxiety disorder,
cellulitis of left lower limb, cognitive communication deficit, morbid obesity, anemia, atherosclerotic heart
disease of native coronary, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, presence of
prosthetic heart valve, and peripheral venous insufficiency.
Review of the 07/21/23 quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed the resident was
cognitively intact and required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfer, walk in room, walk in corridor,
dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene.
Review of a physician order dated 03/13/23 revealed infection and derma infusion protocol-for Agency #700
IV therapy infusion-one time 1000 milliliters (ml) 0.9% normal saline at 1000 ml per (/) hour (hr) additive

Review of the 10/26/23 annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed the resident was cognitively
intact and used a wheelchair to aid in mobility. The Resident was dependent for toileting, chair to chair
transfer, and tub or shower transfer. The resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Review of physician orders dated 03/13/23 and 04/13/23 revealed an order for infection infusion protocol-for
Agency #700 IV therapy infusion-one time- 0.9% normal saline at 1000 ml/hr (total additive volume, 22 ml)
additive formula: ascorbic acid 5 gm b complex - b5, 250 mg zinc, 10 mg amino blend, glutamine 150 mg,
arginine 500 mg, ornithine 150 mg, lysine 250 mg, citrulline 250 mg, glutathione 600 mg.
Review of the Ohio State Pharmacy Board website revealed Agency #700 does not have a valid license to
dispense dangerous drugs in Ohio.
Interview with Regional Nurse #300 on 12/05/23 at 2:20 P.M. revealed she found out from their corporate
company the facility was going to utilize services from Agency #700 to try to enhance quality of life for
residents with weight loss, wounds, or hydration issues. There were different types of nutritional IV bags for
skin and hydration. Facility nurses got with the facility Physician and the Physician wrote an order for
Agency #700's IV bags. Agency #700's nurse would come in and administer the IV fluids, which consisted
of vitamins, supplements, and hydration. The last infusion month was September and Regional Nurse #300
was not sure why the corporate office stopped services, and reported services were on a trial basis.
Interview with Regional Nurse #300 on 12/05/23 at 2:20 P.M. verified Agency #700 did not have an Ohio
State Pharmacy Board license to dispense dangerous drugs in Ohio and that the facility was unaware of
that at the time of IV administrations from March 2023 to September 2023.

Agency #700's IV bags. Agency #700's nurse would come in and administer the IV fluids, which consisted
of vitamins, supplements, and hydration. The last infusion month was September and Regional Nurse #300
