F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation, and staff interviews the facility failed to ensure one residents' eye drop medication was administered in accordance with physician orders. This affected one (#87) of three residents sampled who received eye drop medication. The facility identified 12 residents who received physician ordered eye drop medications. The facility census was 95 residents. Findings include: Resident #87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of anemia, heart failure, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, non-Alzheimer's dementia and hemiplegia. Review of Resident #87's quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed he had moderate cognitive impairment and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. Review of the ophthalmologist consult report dated 12/13/18 revealed he recommended Resident #87 receive Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% twice a day to his left eye (OS) for glaucoma. Review of the 12/2018 Medication Administration Record (MAR) documented the resident received one drop of Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% twice a day OS on 12/13/18. The MAR indicated the resident received one drop twice a day in his right eye (OD) from 12/14/18 to 01/08/18. On 01/09/19 at 9:30 A.M. an observation was made as Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #37 prepared to administer an eye drop to Resident #87. LPN #37 indicated she was going to administer one drop of Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% to the residents' OD. When she showed the bottle to the surveyor, the label indicated this eye drop was for the OS. LPN #37 was questioned as to which eye was the correct eye for the medication administration. The nurse did not know so she held the medication and checked with the Director of Nursing (DON). The MAR identified the eye drop should be administered to the OD and the label on the bottle documented the medication was for the OS. On 01/09/19 at 2:15 P.M. an interview with the DON revealed the medication should have been administered to the OS. She stated LPN #107 had changed the MAR for the resident to receive the Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% to the OD. The DON further explained on 12/13/18 the physician wrote to administer Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% twice a day OS on a consult report. The DON verified OS was an abbreviation for the left eye. The resident had a cyst on his right eye and LPN #107 thought this medication was supposed to be for the OD so she changed the MAR. The DON stated Resident #87 probably received the Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% eye drop medication to the wrong eye since 12/14/18. On 01/09/19 at 2:39 P.M. a telephone interview was conducted with LPN #107. LPN #107 said the resident went out for an eye appointment for a cyst to OD. The physician ordered Brimonidine Tartrate Solution 0.2% twice a day OS for glaucoma. The nurse reviewed the consult order and thought OS stood for the right eye so she changed the MAR to administer the eye drop medication to the right eye. The nurse was unaware that OS indicated the left eye.

Diagnoses included diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, dysphagia, peripheral vascular disease, venous insufficiency, anemia, chronic kidney disease, and urinary incontinence.
