to be crushed and poured into a medication cup. LPN #476 took a soft gel capsule of Omega 3 Fish Oil and
placed it in a separate pouch to crush and pour the liquid into the medication cup. The soft gel was crushed
with a small amount of the liquid being poured into the medication cup. LPN #476 then took a soft gel
capsule of B Vitamin Complex and placed it in a separate pouch to crush and pour the liquid into the
medication cup. The soft gel was crushed with the liquid staying in the pouch. LPN #476 attempted to
squeeze the liquid into the medication cup, this attempt was not successful, and the liquid medication
remained in the pouch. LPN #476 mixed the crushed medications with applesauce and administered the
medication to Resident #46.
Review of Resident #46's physician signed medication orders dated 04/01/24 revealed Resident #46
received the following medications during morning medication administration, Calcium Acetate 667
milligrams (mg), Abilify 20 mg, Aspirin 81 mg, Duloxetine 80 mg, Isosorbide Mononitrate 30 mg,
Levetiracetam 250 mg, B-Complex Vitamin, Carvedilol 3.125 mg, Eliquis 5 mg, Omega 3 Fish Oil 1,000 mg,
Ranolazine 1000 mg, and Topiramate 200 mg. Resident #46 required medications to be crushed for ease in
swallowing.
Review of the manufacturing guidelines for Omega 3 Fish Oil revealed the soft gel capsules should not be
crushed or split for the removal of the liquid may lead to incorrect dosage.
Review of the manufacturing guidelines for the B Vitamin Complex revealed the soft gel capsule form of the
medication should not be pierced, split, or crushed due to the removal of the medication may lead to
incorrect dosage.
Interview with LPN #476 confirmed the soft gel capsules of Omega 3 Fish Oil, and the B Vitamin Complex
should not have been crushed, and a different form of the medication should have been used so that it
could have been crushed and administered correctly.
Review of the facility's policy titled, Administering Medications revised in December 2012 revealed,
Medications shall be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure foods were labeled, dated
and not retained when expired. This had the potential to affect 106 residents receiving food from the
facility's kitchen as four residents (Residents #19, #41, #74 and #103) were ordered nothing-by-mouth
(NPO). The facility census was 110.
Findings include:
Observation of the facility's nourishment refrigerators on 04/09/24 starting at 9:51 A.M. with Food Service
Director (FSD) #440 revealed the following:
•
In the first floor resident refrigerator, there were two expired yogurts dated 03/23/24, two expired yogurts
dated 03/26/24 and a half-gallon of milk dated 04/04/24.
•
In the second floor resident refrigerator, there was an unidentified pink substance on the inside base of the
refrigerator and there was frozen popsicle material on the inside base of the freezer.
•
In the third floor resident refrigerator, there were two containers labeled with Resident #85's room number
on it but no date.
Interviews with FSD #440 verified the above findings at the time of observation. FSD #440 indicated she or
another dietary staff would check the refrigerators every Friday for expired food. FSD #440 stated
housekeeping staff helped with this process but ultimately nursing staff were supposed to take expired food
out of the refrigerators. FSD #440 stated these refrigerators were also cleaned weekly. FSD #440 confirmed
there was no documentation regarding staff going through these refrigerators for expired food.
Review of the facility policy, Food Brought by Family/Visitors, revised February 2014 revealed perishable
foods must be stored in re-sealable containers with tightly fitting lids in the refrigerator. Containers will be
labeled with the residents' name, the item and the use by date. The nursing staff is responsible for
discarding perishable foods on or before the use by date. The nursing and/or food service staff must discard
any foods prepared for the resident that show obvious signs of potential foodborne danger.
