Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm
Based on observation, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to have survey results readily accessible to residents. This had the potential to affect all 71 residents residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include: On 07/31/24 at 8:46 A.M., an interview with Resident #25 stated he wanted to see the survey results for the facility, and he did not know where they were located or if the facility would even allow him to see the survey results. On 07/31/24 at 11:36 A.M., an observation of the facility lobby revealed there was a binder of survey results on the table. The most recent survey results in the binder were from October 2023. The survey results from the four most recent surveys, completed April 2024 through July 2024, were not included in the survey results binder. This was verified by Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #309 at the time of observation. On 07/31/24 at 12:34 P.M., an interview with RDO #309 stated there was another survey binder with the results of recent surveys at the first-floor nurse's station. Observation at the time of interview revealed there was a survey results binder behind the nurse's station at the bottom of a stack of patient care binders, which was not readily accessible by residents. RDO #309 verified this survey results binder was not readily accessible by residents. This deficiency was an incidental finding identified during the complaint investigation.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of the facility's fall investigations and incident reports, staff interview, and review of the facility's fall policy, the facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation after falls occurred and failed to implement appropriate interventions after a fall. This affected three residents (#31, #40, and #66) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 71.
Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #31 revealed an admission date of 06/13/23 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting the right side, morbid obesity, muscle weakness, hypertension, and a history of falling. Review of the fall risk care plan, revised 09/22/23, revealed no new interventions were added since 09/22/23. Review of the fall risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #31 was high risk for falls. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 06/13/24, revealed Resident #31 was dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADL). Review of the facility's fall investigation dated 07/23/24 revealed Resident #31 was found lying on the floor next to his bed. Resident #31 stated he fell onto the floor, and the immediate action taken was a skin assessment, and vital signs were checked. The investigation did not include any new interventions, and there were no statements or interviews from staff regarding the fall. The incident report included with the fall investigation revealed there was no fall risk assessment completed after the fall. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #40 revealed an admission date of 05/27/22 and readmission date of 01/23/24. Diagnoses included congestive heart failure, severe protein calorie malnutrition, atrial fibrillation, and adult failure to thrive. Review of the quarterly MDS assessment, dated 06/08/24, revealed Resident #40 was dependent on staff for ADL and had experienced one fall with no injury. Review of the progress note dated 07/14/24 at 6:53 P.M. revealed Resident #40 was found lying on her back on the floor and holding the left side of her neck. Resident #40 was unable to state how she ended up on the floor or how long she had been on the floor. Resident #40 complained of pain to the right side of her body and a headache, reporting a pain level of seven out of ten. Hospice was notified and instructed the facility not to send Resident #40 to the hospital. Review of the progress note dated 07/14/24 at 7:52 P.M. revealed hospice assessed Resident #40, called Resident #40's representative, and decided to send Resident #40 to the hospital for evaluation. Review of the facility's fall investigation dated 07/14/24 indicated Resident #40 had an unwitnessed fall, was found on the floor, she was unable to state how she ended up on the floor or how long she had been there, she complained of pain and rated it seven out of ten, and the immediate action taken was Resident #40 was assisted back to bed with the assistance of four staff.

indicated Resident #40 was not sent to the hospital. The investigation did not include any new interventions, and there were no statements or interviews from staff regarding the fall. The incident report included with the fall investigation revealed there was no fall risk assessment completed after the fall. Review of the fall risk care plan revealed a new intervention was not added until 07/22/24, eight days after the fall occurred. 3. Review of the medical record for Resident #66 revealed an admission date of 05/06/24 with diagnoses including epilepsy, muscle weakness, personal history of transient ischemic attack (stroke), and a history of falling. Review of the quarterly MDS assessment, dated 05/21/24, revealed Resident #66 had severe cognitive impairment and required substantial or maximum assistance for ADL. Review of the facility's fall investigation dated 07/11/24 revealed Resident #66 rolled out of bed while an unnamed State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) was providing resident care. The investigation did not specify how Resident #66 rolled out of bed while care was being provided. The new intervention was to keep the bed low at all times while the resident was in bed, which did not address how to prevent future falls during resident care. The investigation indicated there were no witnesses of the fall despite the fall occurring while an STNA was providing care. There were no statements or interviews from staff regarding the fall. On 08/06/24 at 3:00 P.M., an interview with the acting Director of Nursing (DON), Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #310, verified thorough fall investigations were not completed, and no appropriate interventions were implemented timely for Residents #31, #40, and #66. They also verified there was no fall risk assessment completed after Residents #31 and #40's falls. Review of the facility's policy titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated December 2007, revealed facility staff would identify underlying causes of falls, identify appropriate interventions to reduce the risk of falls, monitor and document the resident's response to interventions, re-evaluate the situation and determine if interventions should be continued or changed, and try to minimize complications from falling. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00155756 and is an example of continued noncompliance to the survey completed 05/09/24.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, record review, facility policy review, review of manufacturer instructions, and review of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) database of licensed biological products, the facility failed to be free of a five percent or greater medication error rate. This affected one resident (#2) of five residents (#1, #2, #22, #32 and #46) observed for medication administration. This had the potential to affect 15 residents (#1, #2, #9, #15, #21, #27, #29, #30, #31, #34, #35, #36, #38, #54 and #57) who received insulin, and all 60 residents (#1, #2, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #19, #21, #22, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #42, #43, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #59, #60, #62, #63, #64, #66, #67, #68, #69, #70 and #71) who resided on the facility's second floor. The facility census was 71.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #2 revealed an admission date of 08/10/23. Diagnoses included dementia, diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, and vitamin deficiency. Review of Resident #2's physician orders effective July 2024 included Humalog (insulin lispro) 100 U (units) per ml (milliliter) pen injector give 12 U SQ (subcutaneously) three times daily for DM, Humalog (insulin lispro) per sliding scale SQ three times daily with meals, Lantus (insulin glargine) 100 U per ml pen injector give 38 U SQ in the morning for DM, and vitamin B-12 5000 mcg (micrograms) sublingual daily in the morning for vitamin deficiency. Observation on 07/31/24 at 11:53 A.M. with Unit Manager (UM) #305 of medication administration for Resident #2 revealed a blood glucose test was completed to indicate an additional 4 U of insulin lispro was required per sliding scale with the routine 12 U as ordered. UM #305 prepared the insulin lispro pen injector by looking at the insulin pen's chamber, attached a disposable needle, and dialed 16 U for administration. UM #305 did not prime the needle to remove air after being attached. UM #305 then entered Resident #2's room and administered the 16 U of insulin lispro SQ into the left upper extremity. Interview at the time of the observation with UM #305 confirmed the insulin lispro pen injector was not primed after needle attachment and indicated it was not necessary because there was no visible air bubbles in the insulin pen's chamber. Interview on 07/31/24 at 12:16 P.M. with the acting Director of Nursing, Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #310 indicated priming of insulin pens after needle attachment was not required if the insulin pen's chamber was checked for air bubbles. Review of the medication information package insert for Humalog (lispro) insulin pen instructions revised July 2023 and retrieved from https://uspl.lilly.com/humalog/humalog.html#ppi0 revealed to prime the insulin pen before each injection. Priming meant to remove air from the needle and cartridge that collected during normal use and ensured it worked correctly. If priming was not completed, too much or too little insulin may be administered. Insulin pen priming included to turn the dose knob to 2 U, hold the pen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top, and while holding the pen pointing upward push the dose knob until it stopped and zero was seen in the dose window. Insulin would be seen at the top of the needle. Observation on 08/01/24 at 8:12 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #239 revealed one vitamin B-12 1000 mcg tablet was removed from an over-the-counter medication bottle and placed into a

medication administration cup. LPN #239 then entered Resident #2's room and administered the vitamin B-12 orally. A blood glucose test was completed to indicate an additional 2 U of insulin lispro was required per sliding scale with the routine 12 U as ordered. LPN #239 prepared the insulin lispro pen injector and dialed 14 U for administration. LPN #239 was unable to find the Lantus (insulin glargine) pen injector in the medication cart then went to the medication room and obtained Basaglar (insulin glargine) from the starter medications. LPN #239 prepared the Basaglar insulin pen injector and dialed 38 U for administration. Then LPN #239 entered Resident #2's room and administered both the insulin lispro and Basaglar insulin SQ into the right lower abdomen area. Interview at the time of the observation with LPN #239 confirmed giving the Basaglar insulin in lieu of the ordered Lantus because they were both long acting insulins and were both insulin glargine. Interview on 08/01/24 at 9:47 A.M. with Pharmacist #311 verified Basaglar insulin and Lantus insulin were not approved by the FDA as being interchangeable because although having the similar ingredient of insulin glargine, the products were not identical. Pharmacist #311 explained for Basaglar insulin to be interchanged with Lantus insulin, the physician would need to provide an order of approval and confirm its dosage and frequency. Interview on 08/01/24 at 10:07 A.M. with UM #305 verified there were no physician standing orders or list of interchangeable medications approved by the physician. Interview on 08/01/24 at 11:14 A.M. with LPN #239 confirmed Resident #2 was administered vitamin B-12 at the incorrect dose of 1000 mcg in lieu of the ordered 5000 mcg and by the wrong route given orally in lieu of the ordered route of sublingually. Review of the FDA database of licensed biological products obtained on 08/01/24 at https://purplebooksearch.fda.gov/results?query=insulin%20glargine&title=Lantus revealed there was no biosimilar for Lantus (insulin glargine) and no approved interchangeable including Basaglar (insulin glargine). Observations from 07/31/24 to 08/01/24 of medication administration revealed 29 medications observed for five residents (#1, #2, #22, #32 and #46), administered by three nurses, UM #305 and LPNs #209 and #239, with three medication errors as referenced above. This resulted in a medication error rate of 9.67 percent. Review of facility policy, Administering Medications, revised December 2012 revealed medications must be administered in accordance with the orders. The individual administering the medication must check the label three times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication. This deficiency was an incidental finding identified during the complaint investigation.
